00:00:08.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:08.000 Today on the Charlie Kirk show, we asked the question, how did we get here?

00:00:12.000 How do we get to the point where we're now renaming sports teams in just a couple months?

00:00:16.000 We went from lockdowns to riots to lockdowns.

00:00:18.000 We go through all of it.

00:00:20.000 I encourage you to listen to our sister episode where we say, open schools now.

00:01:02.000 Now on over 2,000 high school and college campuses across the country, Turning Point USA is leading the charge to educate the next generation around first principles, the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world.

00:01:13.000 And we're actually conservatives that fight.

00:01:16.000 Fun episode in store, big episode in store.

00:01:19.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:01:20.000 Here we go.

00:01:21.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:23.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:01:25.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:28.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:32.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:33.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:34.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:42.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:51.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:53.000 Are you asking yourself, how did we get here?

00:01:57.000 I was watching ESPN, which I know is owned by Disney, and I try to limit my intake of ESPN.

00:02:02.000 But I was actually just trying to get an update as to whether or not sports are coming back.

00:02:07.000 And I was actually very pleasantly surprised to find out baseball is coming back on July 23rd.

00:02:12.000 I must have missed that memo, which started a group text amongst all my friends about when sports are coming back.

00:02:18.000 And I did find out that college football has canceled non-conference games.

00:02:23.000 I'm a huge Oregon Ducks fan.

00:02:24.000 My aunt, my uncle, and my father all went to the University of Oregon.

00:02:28.000 We see every single Ducks game every single year.

00:02:30.000 We don't go to every single one, but we watch every single game.

00:02:33.000 And my good buddy went to Ohio State University.

00:02:35.000 He calls it the Ohio State University.

00:02:37.000 I call it a school that's in Ohio.

00:02:39.000 I'm totally kidding for our Ohio listeners out there.

00:02:42.000 I'm totally kidding.

00:02:43.000 But Ohio State University was supposed to play University of Oregon for the first time since the national title game.

00:02:49.000 That was the first ever college football playoff a couple years ago.

00:02:52.000 So I'm super bummed that they canceled that.

00:02:53.000 But anyway, I was watching ESPN.

00:02:57.000 And I asked myself, how did we get here?

00:03:01.000 How did we get to a moment where we're changing the Washington Redskins name?

00:03:07.000 That's a really big deal, right?

00:03:10.000 And those of you that support our show, thank you at charliekirk.com slash support.

00:03:15.000 CharlieKirk.com slash support.

00:03:17.000 You know that we think very thoughtfully, very deeply, and very comprehensively about these topics and these issues.

00:03:22.000 That what makes our podcast different than almost any other podcast out there.

00:03:26.000 And so I thought to myself, how did we go from one bad cop in Minneapolis and three cowards who stood and watched resulting in the death of George Floyd to the Washington Redskins changing their name and removing their logo?

00:03:45.000 That's a huge story, by the way.

00:03:49.000 I mean, we're talking about something that happened in a specific incident, albeit evil and albeit unspeakable in Minneapolis.

00:04:03.000 And then a month and a half later, we're changing the name of a football team.

00:04:10.000 Big deal.

00:04:11.000 Now, there's a deeper point here, though, because it wasn't just the killing of George Floyd.

00:04:19.000 It wasn't.

00:04:20.000 This has been multi-institutional, multi-dimensional, and a targeted, diabolical campaign of the left for quite some time.

00:04:30.000 How did we also get from statues to George Washington to now Google pledging over $100 million to the cause of racial justice and amplifying black voices? 0.77

00:04:44.000 How did it get to a place where syrup bottles with Aunt Jemima are canceled, but the governor of Virginia, who was either wearing blackface or the KKK hood, which he hasn't told us which one it was, it was one of the two.

00:04:57.000 It was either KKK hood or blackface. 0.57

00:05:00.000 But he's not forced to resign.

00:05:03.000 He's still governor of Virginia.

00:05:05.000 You see, the time that we're living in, it's not a serious one, but it's an unbelievably serious time, to play on words.

00:05:14.000 We're not at all serious about the issues that are facing our country.

00:05:19.000 But we are living through the most serious chapter in American history since the American Civil War.

00:05:27.000 You see, our country right now is being held hostage by radical leftists who used and exploited a singular tragedy to open their wish list and Pandora's box of radical leftist, anti-American, fundamentalist ideas.

00:05:47.000 And one of my fears is that there just is not enough courage in our country that we can close it.

00:05:53.000 It's really interesting.

00:05:55.000 We went from total lockdown and fear to riots, back to lockdowns and fear.

00:06:01.000 And now we're changing the name of a football team.

00:06:06.000 Mind you, a win for the radical left means a staggering loss for America.

00:06:12.000 JFK once said this, politics is like football.

00:06:15.000 If you see daylight, run through the hole.

00:06:17.000 And that's exactly what we are seeing.

00:06:20.000 The murder of George Floyd was the daylight for the radical left and for the Democratic Party.

00:06:27.000 And now they're running totally free and untouched to the end zone, hoping to score a win for the game, to use the metaphor and to complete the metaphor.

00:06:37.000 Now, to keep with the football analogy, one of the most recent victims of the left's ground in pound political offense was the Washington Redskins.

00:06:48.000 And they've been a member of the NFL since 1932.

00:06:52.000 Now, interestingly enough, there's a very interesting backstory here.

00:06:55.000 But in a statement released to the press early Monday morning, they announced that they were officially dropping their 88-year-old name.

00:07:03.000 It read in part, quote, today we are announcing we will be retiring the Redskins' name and logo.

00:07:09.000 Upon completion of a thorough review of the team's name, Dan Snyder and Coach Rivera are working closely to develop a new name and design, an approach that will enhance the standing of our proud tradition, rich franchise, and inspire our sponsors, fans, and community for the next 100 years.

00:07:25.000 It's so laughable to see the left ever try to argue for tradition in a press release considering everything that flies in the face of preserving tradition.

00:07:34.000 So the Redskins will start the 2020 football season with a new name and new logo, all because a evil cop killed somebody in Minneapolis.

00:07:42.000 And that's what it's going to finally take to break the 28-year-old Super Bowl drought?

00:07:47.000 Yeah, I don't think so.

00:07:48.000 But let's be serious. 0.96

00:07:50.000 This is utterly ridiculous and totally rubbish, especially considering that according to a Washington Post survey, 90% of Native Americans have no problem with the Redskin name at all. 0.98

00:08:03.000 This is substitutionary rage. 0.99

00:08:06.000 It is woke mainly white liberals who are feigning outrage on behalf of people that believe they are oppressed.

00:08:15.000 Kaylee McEnany had an excellent point today at the White House, and she hid it home perfectly play tape.

00:08:22.000 Any other reaction to the Washington Redskins dropping their name today?

00:08:26.000 Yeah, it's a good question.

00:08:27.000 You know, he made, I haven't talked to him since the specific announcement's been made.

00:08:30.000 I have talked to him, but not specifically on that.

00:08:33.000 But last week, his tweet made it clear that these teams, these teams name their teams out of strength, not weakness.

00:08:40.000 And he talked about the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians looking at changing their names.

00:08:46.000 And he says that he believes that the Native American community would be very angry at this. 0.93

00:08:52.000 And he does have polling to back him up.

00:08:54.000 There was a Washington Post poll from a few years ago that 90% of Native Americans say they're not offended by the name.

00:09:01.000 It is reflective of a 2004 poll.

00:09:04.000 And the Washington Post notes that many of these Native Americans voiced admiration for the team name, like Barbara Bruce, who said, I'm proud of being Native American and of the Redskins.

00:09:13.000 I'm not ashamed of that at all.

00:09:15.000 I like that name.

00:09:16.000 Gabrielle Nez, another 29-year-old from the Navajo community, I really don't mind it.

00:09:21.000 I like it.

00:09:22.000 And there were several other comments like this in the Washington Post.

00:09:25.000 I encourage you to check out our episode with Kaylee McEnany.

00:09:28.000 It was phenomenal.

00:09:29.000 And she was exactly right.

00:09:30.000 The name is a sign of strength, not of weakness.

00:09:35.000 Here's a fun fact to share with your friends.

00:09:37.000 The Redskins logo was actually designed by a Native American, Walter Blackie Wetzel, to depict a member of the Blackfeet tribe.

00:09:49.000 So now we're erasing Native American history, something that was actually portrayed in a positive light of Native American culture. 0.98

00:09:56.000 White liberals decide that they don't like the way it looks or feels, so white liberals get what they want because white liberals are miserable bullies. 0.97

00:10:05.000 White liberals want you to feel sorry for something that you did not do. 1.00

00:10:10.000 White liberals want you to apologize for your immutable characteristics.

00:10:16.000 Lance Wetzel said everyone was pretty upset about the change.

00:10:20.000 Everyone understood the name change.

00:10:21.000 We're all on board with that.

00:10:23.000 Once they weren't going to use the logo, it was hard. 0.54

00:10:25.000 It takes away from the Native Americans.

00:10:27.000 When I see that logo, I take pride in it. 0.68

00:10:29.000 You look at the depiction of the Redskins logo, and it's of true Native American.

00:10:33.000 I always felt it was representing my people.

00:10:36.000 That's not gone.

00:10:37.000 So what comes next?

00:10:39.000 Will the Patriots be canceled?

00:10:40.000 Because that's too offensive, probably.

00:10:42.000 And my goodness, the mob's going to come for the Kansas City Chiefs next.

00:10:47.000 Good luck with that one.

00:10:48.000 They're going to put up a much bigger cultural, let's just say, fight.

00:10:54.000 What about the Vikings or the Saints or the Cowboys?

00:10:57.000 Now, I've come up with a list of three potential names to replace the Redskins.

00:11:01.000 Number one, the Washington lobbyists.

00:11:05.000 Because that shouldn't offend anyone because lobbyists are basically running our country.

00:11:08.000 How about this? 0.61

00:11:09.000 The Washington swamp monsters.

00:11:12.000 Okay, that's probably not going to work.

00:11:15.000 How about this?

00:11:15.000 The Washington politicians.

00:11:19.000 I don't think that's going to be very favorable.

00:11:21.000 If you want to see something that's actually less popular than the Washington Redskins, call it the Washington politicians.

00:11:28.000 I'm more offended if you call it the Washington politicians than the Washington Redskins, for good reason.

00:11:37.000 And by the way, in the Washington Post, the global opinions editor, a woman named Kayen Atai, I might have mispronounced her name, Kayen Atia, said, quote, the Texas Rangers team name must go.

00:11:51.000 The left will destroy everything they touch.

00:11:53.000 The left is relentless in their utter and complete focus of debasing the United States of America.

00:12:03.000 They're going to go for the Texas Rangers.

00:12:04.000 They'll go for the Chicago Bears.

00:12:07.000 They're going to go for everything.

00:12:08.000 Everything that has meaning and symbology.

00:12:11.000 The left does not build.

00:12:12.000 The left only destroys.

00:12:14.000 Instead of proposing a new football team, they're going to destroy a preexisting football team.

00:12:19.000 Instead of trying to build something new, they're going to try to destroy something that exists.

00:12:24.000 Cayenne said in the Washington Post, quote, as the Washington football team name finally gives up its racist slur of a name, there's one major sports team that has avoided the spotlight and resisted meaningful engagement.

00:12:34.000 With the violent and racist implications of its name, to know the full history of the Texas Rangers is to understand the team's name is not so far from being called the Texas Klansmen.

00:12:43.000 But of course, as you know, it doesn't stop at sports teams.

00:12:46.000 This is from NBC, quote, the Boston Police Department is conducting an arson investigation after a statue of the Virgin Mary was set on fire at a church in the city's Dorchester neighborhood.

00:12:56.000 The Mary, the mother of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is now a target for the left.

00:13:02.000 It's not just a silly sports logo or a team's name or a bottle of syrup.

00:13:06.000 Remember what the left is? 0.71

00:13:09.000 A relentless force of destruction.

00:13:12.000 If we do not start playing offense and stop playing defense, we will lose our country and lose Western society.

00:13:22.000 They say defense wins championships.

00:13:24.000 Well, to use the analogy and to complete it, if JFK was right and the radical Marxist left is engaged in a game of sinister cultural football, if you will, a good defense may be our only hope to save America if we can actually play offense again.

00:13:42.000 We need to start playing offense with a sense of urgency.

00:13:46.000 We need to set the agenda and establish ground rules.

00:13:48.000 The president has done very well on this terrain throughout his presidency.

00:13:53.000 And by the way, I want to hear your new thoughts on what the name should be.

00:13:56.000 I think the Washington lobbyists would probably be the most fitting for considering that eight out of 10 of the wealthiest counties in America are around Washington, D.C., despite Washington creating nothing of value.

00:14:07.000 That's right, nothing of value for the rest of America.

00:14:10.000 Washington lobbyists, Washington politicians, I don't know.

00:14:13.000 Email me what you think the new Washington Redskins should be called.

00:14:17.000 And the best suggestion that we get, we'll get a signed copy of the MAGA doctrine.

00:14:22.000 Signed copy, New York Times bestseller, send me what you think the Washington Redskins should be renamed as.

00:14:38.000 So while we're on the subjects of total disgraces in sports, listen to this unbelievable story from the National Basketball Association.

00:14:46.000 So apparently, this is reporting from the Washington Free Beacon.

00:14:50.000 The official online store of the NBA does not permit fans to order a custom jersey with the phrase, quote, free Hong Kong printed on the back.

00:14:59.000 When shoppers go to input their custom message in support of Hong Kong, the site gives you an error message that says, we are unable to customize this item with the text you have entered.

00:15:08.000 Please try a different entry.

00:15:10.000 Here are some of the phrases, however, that don't receive such a warning.

00:15:13.000 F Hong Kong.

00:15:15.000 Defund police.

00:15:16.000 Abolish cops. 1.00

00:15:17.000 Beware of Jews. 1.00

00:15:19.000 Sneaky Jews. 1.00

00:15:20.000 Ban gypsies. 1.00

00:15:21.000 G for life. 1.00

00:15:22.000 Cancel Israel. 0.99

00:15:24.000 9-11 hoax. 0.99

00:15:25.000 End Taiwan. 0.97

00:15:26.000 Enslave Tibet. 1.00

00:15:27.000 Trump has AIDS. 1.00

00:15:29.000 Pence is gay. 1.00

00:15:30.000 Uyghurs lie. 1.00

00:15:32.000 I can tell you one thing. 1.00

00:15:34.000 I would trade every single woke NBA player and anyone who supports them for the Hong Kong freedom fighters any single day.

00:15:44.000 I don't care who you are.

00:15:45.000 Whether you're LeBron James, who's worth $600 million or whoever, if you hate America and you would rather side with the oppressive Chinese Communist Party regime, then leave the country.

00:15:57.000 America is the only country in the history of the world where even those who say they hate it refuse to leave.

00:16:03.000 America is the only country in the history of the world where you can make millions of dollars hating the very country that you live in.

00:16:09.000 And Senator Josh Hawley has the right idea.

00:16:12.000 He called a subpoena for NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

00:16:18.000 A great idea. 0.66

00:16:19.000 In fact, I am going to tweet that out the day that this episode airs, that we should subpoena Adam Silver in front of a Senate committee for his ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

00:16:31.000 Senator Josh Hawley said, this is big-time money for the National Basketball Association.

00:16:35.000 I think we do deserve to know exactly what they're making.

00:16:38.000 And we deserve to have them explain to us why they will not stand against this authoritarian regime.

00:16:44.000 The senator's right.

00:16:45.000 Anything with the word national affixed to it, which claims to represent our country, should be transparent about why they refuse to condemn America's greatest enemy.

00:16:56.000 And speaking of the Senate Judiciary Committee, before we get into this, I want to thank those of you that are supporters of the Charlie Kirk Show at charliekirk.com slash support, charliekirk.com slash support.

00:17:06.000 You guys keep our program going.

00:17:08.000 You help pay for our research team, pay for the costs of this program, helps us stay insulated and shielded away from leftist boycotts.

00:17:15.000 So thank you.

00:17:16.000 So the Senate Judiciary Committee, Lindsey Graham, made news on Sunday when he announced that former special counsel Robert Mueller would be invited to testify before his committee.

00:17:28.000 Graham wrote on Twitter, apparently Mr. Mueller is willing and also capable of defending the Mueller investigation through an op-ed in the Washington Post.

00:17:35.000 Graham added, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have previously requested Mr. Mueller appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify about his investigation.

00:17:43.000 That request will be granted.

00:17:45.000 Now, this comes after Mueller published a scathing column in the Washington Post last Saturday in which he defends his team's prosecution of Roger Stone and others calling Stone a still a convicted felon and rightfully so.

00:17:57.000 He goes on to say, we also identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump campaign personnel, Stone among them.

00:18:03.000 This could also include Lieutenant General Michael Flynn and Sisliak, but we did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government in its activities.

00:18:12.000 It's so dishonest.

00:18:13.000 Bob Mueller should be called to testify immediately.

00:18:16.000 And we have Roger Stone coming up on the podcast tomorrow.

00:18:19.000 So make sure you are subscribed to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:18:22.000 Type in Charlie Kirk Show to your podcast provider.

00:18:24.000 Hit subscribe.

00:18:25.000 Charlie Kirk Show, hit subscribe.

00:18:26.000 Make sure you are the first one to hear our exclusive interview with Roger Stone.

00:18:31.000 And all of this, of course, comes as President Trump makes a brave and just decision to grant clemency to Roger Stone last Friday, keeping the 67-year-old from showing up to serve time in a coronavirus-infested prison.

00:18:43.000 But by the way, I supported Rogers' pardon vocally and vociferously, loudly and publicly for a variety of different reasons.

00:18:51.000 It was a rigged trial.

00:18:53.000 It just was.

00:18:54.000 This was a multi-decade campaign to try to take Roger Stone, who used to be partners with Paul Manafort.

00:19:00.000 I'm in no way getting into the history of Roger Stone or what he did in the 80s or 90s, and that's what that is, that is not what justice is.

00:19:07.000 Justice is blind.

00:19:08.000 Tell me exactly what Roger was being tried for and give him a fair trial.

00:19:12.000 He was not given a fair trial.

00:19:14.000 His jury forewoman tweeted out negative Roger Stone material before being selected as a jury forewoman.

00:19:21.000 His judge treated him so unfairly with so much bias.

00:19:26.000 Every human being deserves a fair trial.

00:19:28.000 And there you have the American Civil Liberties Union that goes out and tries to say, well, terrorists deserve a fair trial.

00:19:35.000 The Boston bomber deserves a fair trial.

00:19:38.000 And yet they were deathly silent on the trial of Roger Stone.

00:19:42.000 So I'm so glad that Roger had his crime commuted.

00:19:46.000 Thank you, President Trump, for your courage on that.

00:19:49.000 And we are going to get more into that tomorrow on the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:19:54.000 And a lot of people are going after President Trump on his commutations.

00:19:57.000 Let's just go through the facts.

00:19:59.000 Do you know that Bill Clinton commuted 61 people in eight years?

00:20:03.000 George W. Bush, 11 people in eight years.

00:20:06.000 Barack Obama, 1,715 in eight years.

00:20:09.000 Donald Trump, 11 in four years.

00:20:12.000 1,715, Barack Obama.

00:20:15.000 Donald Trump, 11.

00:20:18.000 And remind me again who abused their presidential power.

00:20:21.000 Jesse Waters broke this down so well about the media's coverage of this that it's all a distraction to stop you from focusing on deeper issues.

00:20:28.000 Play tape.

00:20:36.000 Don't fall for the Roger Stone hysteria.

00:20:38.000 Just a distraction.

00:20:39.000 Just like the Russia bounty story.

00:20:41.000 The president's power to commute sentences, almost absolute.

00:20:45.000 George Washington granted clemency to traitors.

00:20:48.000 Andrew Johnson pardoned every single Confederate soldier.

00:20:52.000 Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon.

00:20:54.000 Bill Clinton pardoned his own brother.

00:20:57.000 That's what brothers are for.

00:20:59.000 Bill Clinton pardoned the former CIA director and his business partner, Susan McDougal.

00:21:06.000 And he pardoned the biggest tax cheat in U.S. history, international fugitive, Mark Rich, after Rich's wife donated a half a million to Clinton's presidential library.

00:21:16.000 Barack Obama commuted the sentence of Chelsea Manning, who conspired with WikiLeaks, and the media loved it.

00:21:23.000 But Trump commuted the sentence of Roger Stone, who did not conspire with WikiLeaks, and the media hated it.

00:21:31.000 See what's going on here?

00:21:33.000 There was never any evidence of collusion because there was never any collusion.

00:21:38.000 Nobody's ever been charged with collusion or conspiracy with the Russians. 1.00

00:21:42.000 And it's so true.

00:21:43.000 Barack Obama got a pass despite some incredibly questionable abuse of power.

00:21:48.000 Namely, commuting the sentence of Bradley Chelsea Manning, who I think is a man who thinks he's a woman.

00:21:57.000 He was charged with 22 offenses, including aiding the enemy, which is one of the most serious charges that could have resulted in a death sentence.

00:22:06.000 And can you guess which garnered more media outrage?

00:22:08.000 Trump commuting Roger Stone for a process crime or Obama commuting Chelsea Manning?

00:22:15.000 I have a lot more thoughts on the Roger Stone issue.

00:22:17.000 Just make sure you're subscribed.

00:22:20.000 You do not want to miss it.

00:22:21.000 Email me the questions you think I should ask Roger.

00:22:24.000 So email me, freedom at charliekirk.com, the questions that you think I should ask Roger.

00:22:29.000 And if your question is selected, you could win a signed copy of the MAGA Doctrine.

00:22:33.000 Now, while you think you are losing your country, you're right.

00:22:36.000 We are losing our country. 0.57

00:22:38.000 We went from an evil cop doing something unspeakably evil in Minneapolis to changing sports teams' names to Google funding BLM Inc. to $100 million to American churches marching in the streets around with BLM activists basically in a couple weeks.

00:22:52.000 It's because we lost our culture for multi-decades.

00:22:55.000 We sent our kids to colleges that did not offer them value, that got them into debt, that taught them things that do not matter around ideas that have no basis in truth, to hate our country.

00:23:06.000 We funded our media through our movie ticket sales, through watching cable television far too much, buying the DVDs, buying the music, and just shamelessly indulging in leftist culture and not as conservative as building our own cultural institutions, allowing the left into the church.

00:23:26.000 And this is why it's all coming to a point right now.

00:23:31.000 And so while that's happening, Democrat mayors in America's biggest cities, yeah, they're focused on more important things, right?

00:23:38.000 So you take Bill de Blasio, for example.

00:23:41.000 Now, he obsessed over his hand-painted BLM Inc street mural right in front of Trump Tower.

00:23:48.000 But while he was doing that, the family of one-year-old DeVelle Gardner Jr. was grieving.

00:23:55.000 DeVell was a one-year-old boy who was shot in the streets of Brooklyn while sitting in his stroller.

00:24:00.000 His father and grandmother were interviewed on Hannity on Fox News, and it's heartbreaking.

00:24:05.000 Play tape.

00:24:06.000 Girlfriend was on the phone with my mom. 0.78

00:24:09.000 She said, you have to call your baby mother.

00:24:11.000 Junior's in a hospital.

00:24:13.000 So when I called her, like, she just like, as soon as she picked up, she was just crying immediately.

00:24:18.000 Like, you need to get here.

00:24:18.000 You need to get here.

00:24:19.000 Hurry.

00:24:20.000 And I'm like, what's wrong?

00:24:21.000 And she was like, Junior got shot in his stomach.

00:24:24.000 And it just broke me down because I didn't know if my son was going to make it or not.

00:24:35.000 And he didn't.

00:24:36.000 And I'm sitting here calling everybody.

00:24:38.000 Like, nobody can't tell me the condition of my son.

00:24:40.000 He's getting transferred from hospitals.

00:24:42.000 Like, nobody's seen him yet.

00:24:44.000 Like, the doctors can't say nothing.

00:24:45.000 It's just, I was looking for answers.

00:24:49.000 That wasn't answered for me.

00:24:50.000 And it just broke me down.

00:24:52.000 And then when the doctors came out and told me, it just, like, I just lost myself. 0.99

00:25:03.000 For the cowards that did this, you should be ashamed of yourself because everybody talk about black lives matter. 0.98

00:25:14.000 What about baby lives? 0.99

00:25:15.000 What about teenager lives?

00:25:17.000 Like, you took an innocent child from a mother and a father, as well as the grandparents.

00:25:22.000 And I don't think it's fair.

00:25:24.000 Devil, do you believe, based on what you know now, and no one's talking, that people thought that your son's life mattered by the way they're conducting themselves right now?

00:25:38.000 No.

00:25:40.000 Anybody who said that they are, they're just lying because if you know information, that needs to be said.

00:25:47.000 And no information is being, it needs to be said.

00:25:49.000 Like, this is my son.

00:25:52.000 He died.

00:25:54.000 You need to, whatever information you need, you know, you need to tell me.

00:25:58.000 It needs to be known.

00:26:00.000 I need this information.

00:26:02.000 Because these guys just took my son's life.

00:26:04.000 For what?

00:26:06.000 He didn't do nothing to nobody.

00:26:08.000 Do you feel like the elected leaders, the people that represent the community, are doing enough to stop this?

00:26:16.000 No.

00:26:20.000 The community is just getting worse and worse.

00:26:23.000 Nobody's doing nothing about it.

00:26:25.000 Nobody.

00:26:26.000 Nobody's trying to make a change.

00:26:29.000 And it's sad to say that.

00:26:30.000 Like, every day is just worse.

00:26:33.000 You don't know if you're going to live to see the next day.

00:26:37.000 What is your message to the people that did this? 0.99

00:26:42.000 You took my son and go to hell. 1.00

00:26:46.000 You can go to hell. 1.00

00:26:48.000 And excuse my expression, but you took something that was precious from me, precious from my son, precious, something precious from his mother. 1.00

00:26:59.000 And we will never see him.

00:27:01.000 He cannot come back.

00:27:02.000 He cannot wake back up.

00:27:05.000 He was an innocent little baby and he's gone forever.

00:27:09.000 You took my son's life.

00:27:11.000 I can't get that back.

00:27:13.000 I can't hold him no more.

00:27:15.000 I can't hear him calling me daddy no more.

00:27:17.000 I can't kiss him no more.

00:27:18.000 I can't play with him no more.

00:27:20.000 I can't do nothing with him no more.

00:27:22.000 Like, I got to put my son in the ground now.

00:27:26.000 And he's only one.

00:27:28.000 His birthday two months.

00:27:29.000 In two months, he didn't live to see two.

00:27:32.000 Like, he didn't live life.

00:27:35.000 And it's like, I wanted to get him out this violence before something like this happened.

00:27:40.000 And as these tragedies continue happening across our country, isn't it strange that the only network giving these greeting families a platform is Fox?

00:27:48.000 Wouldn't you think that CNN or MSNBC would be all over these interviews? 0.97

00:27:52.000 Since Black Lives Matter, right? 1.00

00:27:54.000 Where's BLM Inc.?

00:27:57.000 We went early and we went assertively on this podcast and we received a lot of backlash, we received a lot of praise, and a lot of people in the middle that said, Charlie, I don't know, maybe this organization, BLM, maybe they mean well.

00:28:10.000 I think it is so clear that we here on the Charlie Kirk show were right early and we were right often.

00:28:18.000 BLM Inc. is silent on the fact that over this last weekend, you were more likely to be shot in New York City and die than die of the Chinese coronavirus. 0.97

00:28:29.000 So sure, keep locking down churches and synagogues and forcing thousands of people onto unemployment. 0.88

00:28:34.000 But meanwhile, in Chicago, 14 more people were murdered and at least 64 people were shot. 0.71

00:28:40.000 Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot, she's up to something play tape.

00:28:45.000 When I was a kid, I loved the Batman TV show.

00:28:49.000 And when the city of Gotham had a real difficult challenge, one of the things that the mayor there did is he called out and he sent out the distress signal to Batman.

00:29:02.000 So we are doing something similar for the census. 0.96

00:29:07.000 And I'm happy to report I'm calling out the census cowboy. 0.95

00:29:18.000 So if you see the census cowboy come into your neighborhood, that's not a good thing. 0.93

00:29:25.000 That means you got to step up and do your part and make sure that you fill out the census.

00:29:31.000 He's going to be going to the 10 communities across Chicago that have the lowest census response rate.

00:29:39.000 And it's time to giddy up.

00:29:42.000 Let's do this, Chicago. 0.87

00:29:44.000 Let's make the census cowboy proud. 0.80

00:29:47.000 Thank you very much, sir.

00:29:53.000 So for those of you that were listening carefully, I'm going to try my best to provide some visual context here.

00:29:58.000 That was Mayor Lightfoot pulling on a bright green cowboy hat from underneath her podium and welcoming a black cowboy on horseback to join her at a press conference, all encouraging Chicagoans to take the census. 0.50

00:30:11.000 So do Black Lives Matter actually matter to BLM? 0.78

00:30:16.000 Of course not.

00:30:16.000 Are they a priority to Democrats?

00:30:18.000 Of course not.

00:30:18.000 They're not acting like it.

00:30:20.000 And it's translating into what may end up being a serious electability for them in November.

00:30:26.000 A new Zogby poll might be some indication.

00:30:29.000 The poll, conducted by John Zogby Strategies and EMI Research Solutions, surveyed 1,000 voters nationally, found that 77% of black voters are committed to voting for Biden, only 77%.

00:30:44.000 Meanwhile, according to these results, 14% of black voters plan to support President Donald Trump, with another 9% still not having made up their mind.

00:30:51.000 But it's not just all black people.

00:30:53.000 Joe Biden has a young black voter problem. 1.00

00:30:56.000 This is some great news for President Trump. 1.00

00:30:59.000 Surveys also indicated, this is continuing the article, that only 57% of black voters between the ages 18 and 29 hold a favorable opinion of former Vice President Joe Biden.

00:31:10.000 On the other hand, 88% of African Americans 65 years of age and older held a favorable view of Biden.

00:31:16.000 The lack of enthusiasm is spilling all over Twitter into Chance the Rapper.

00:31:21.000 Said, are you more pro-Biden or anti-yay, Kanye West, and why?

00:31:25.000 And he goes on to ask, why do you like Joe Biden?

00:31:27.000 You know, make the case for it.

00:31:29.000 So there's a lot of good traction happening there.

00:31:31.000 And I believe the more that we expose BLM Inc. for being nothing more than a Democrat Marxist front group to try to raise money off of a singular tragedy or tragedies that happen in isolated incidents, the more we are going to have success in the black community.

00:31:47.000 It's time to get big.

00:31:48.000 It's time to get bold with our thinking.

00:31:50.000 President Trump is doing more and more of that.

00:31:52.000 And he's going to be rewarded electorally and politically the more he leans into his instincts and his impulses.

00:32:00.000 We are in a critical moment in our country right now.

00:32:03.000 You have people being gunned down in the streets and you have mayors making light of it, being cowboys for the census as if it's some sort of joke, bloody Chicago, and it's some sort of joke.

00:32:12.000 And just so we understand, just in the last week, 33 people were shot and wounded in Chicago, 39 total shot, 6 shot and killed.

00:32:20.000 And just in July, 44 shot and killed, 201 shot and wounded, 245 total shot, and 52 total homicides.

00:32:27.000 I'm bringing the year-to-date total in Chicago, 392 total homicides.

00:32:32.000 Total shot, 1,969 total shot, and shot and wounded, 1,612.

00:32:37.000 That's just Chicago.

00:32:38.000 So how did we get here?

00:32:40.000 We got here because conservatives do not play offense.

00:32:44.000 We are going to be unpacking this all week with some of the biggest guests in the conservative movement.

00:32:49.000 We are going to be unpacking this with some of the biggest thought leaders, senators, politicians.
