00:02:52.000 Steve, welcome back to the program.
00:02:54.000 How are you doing, Charlie?
00:02:55.000 Thanks for having me back, brother.
00:02:56.000 The question is: how are you doing?
00:02:58.000 Tell us about your last 24 hours.
00:03:00.000 I'm doing great.
00:03:01.000 Yesterday was one of the best days of my life.
00:03:03.000 It was a very powerful, spiritual day for me.
00:03:05.000 It was a lot of things came into high clarity.
00:03:09.000 I was totally in the zone, as you say, in sports the entire time.
00:03:13.000 And, you know, they're not going to shut me up.
00:03:15.000 We see it is, you saw it from the demonic speech that Biden gave in Philadelphia.
00:03:20.000 Exactly.
00:03:20.000 This is a dying regime.
00:03:22.000 That was a primal scream.
00:03:23.000 And here, what they're trying to do, no matter who it is, Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago, there were 35 FBI raids yesterday, right?
00:03:31.000 Handing out.
00:03:31.000 There's another grand jury coming together on January 6th.
00:03:35.000 The Washington Post reported it.
00:03:37.000 They just reported a couple of names.
00:03:38.000 There were 35 senior members of MAGA, Republicans, supporters of Donald Trump that were rolled.
00:03:45.000 You know, the FBI rolled in on, right, when they didn't need to do it.
00:03:49.000 Remember, all these people have lawyers.
00:03:50.000 All their lawyers are very well known.
00:03:52.000 No, they jackbooted Gestapos, got to show up at their door and make a big display of this.
00:03:57.000 So there's so much going on that people don't even know at so many levels on trying to put people in bankruptcy, trying to deplatform them.
00:04:05.000 Oh, yeah.
00:04:05.000 All of it.
00:04:06.000 And quite frankly, I think that's what's so powerful about you guys having this great reset conference because this is really what it's about.
00:04:11.000 This is this globalist apparatus.
00:04:13.000 That's right.
00:04:14.000 This is the American arm of that, the Biden regime.
00:04:17.000 And what they're trying to do is shut down everybody, whether it's Alex Jones, Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump.
00:04:24.000 They're trying to use lawfare, financial terrorism, everything legally, and quite frankly, up to assassinations.
00:04:31.000 That's why they're swatting people like crazy.
00:04:33.000 So we got to work cut out for us.
00:04:35.000 And if we blink, if you blink, it's over.
00:04:37.000 So screw them.
00:04:38.000 I spit right in their eye.
00:04:39.000 I could care less.
00:04:40.000 We're rolling and we're rolling hard, baby.
00:04:40.000 We're coming.
00:04:43.000 It's the only way to fight them.
00:04:44.000 Steve, can you reiterate that?
00:04:45.000 You said there were 35 FBI raids yesterday.
00:04:48.000 I consider myself well read.
00:04:49.000 I didn't see that anywhere.
00:04:50.000 Can you elaborate on that?
00:04:52.000 Not being reported.
00:04:52.000 I'm breaking that news right here.
00:04:54.000 If you go to the Washington Post story, I think Josh Dawson's story, if your staff pulls it, Charlie, they mentioned, I think, five names, Boris Epstein being one of them.
00:05:04.000 But I think there's five people.
00:05:05.000 There were 35.
00:05:06.000 35 FBI went to 35 years.
00:05:09.000 All these people have lawyers.
00:05:10.000 They all know who the lawyers are.
00:05:12.000 They didn't serve these subpoenas to the lawyers.
00:05:15.000 They want to make a big display of it.
00:05:16.000 They want to take a bunch of their devices.
00:05:19.000 This is the FBI trying to roll in and trying to be muscle, right?
00:05:22.000 This is the Gestapo.
00:05:22.000 This is a Gestapo attack.
00:05:24.000 Look, this is all about intimidation, whether it's what they did with me yesterday, what they're doing with Alex Jones, what they're doing with other people to debank them, to make sure they can't fund their operations.
00:05:36.000 If it's Trump, look at President of the United States, a completely, totally illegal raid of which a judge said was an illegal raid.
00:05:42.000 The judge's opinion says, I don't trust the Justice Department and the FBI, to be fair.
00:05:47.000 That's a federal judge.
00:05:49.000 Okay.
00:05:49.000 You see it all over.
00:05:50.000 And 35 members of MAGA, the Republican Party, people close to Donald Trump were rolled in on yesterday by the FBI with these intimidation tactics.
00:06:00.000 They just don't, normally what you would do here, Charlie, is you would go to their lawyer and say, hey, we want to know when's the team, can you accept service of a subpoena?
00:06:08.000 Can you accept service of this?
00:06:10.000 Or we may want to talk to you about certain of your devices and can we work something out?
00:06:13.000 No, they didn't do that.
00:06:14.000 They go with the jack boots and they kick down the doors and they bang on the doors and they roll in people to intimidate them, to make sure that they sit there and go, oh, what do you want?
00:06:23.000 You know, I'll do anything, et cetera.
00:06:24.000 Well, these people didn't.
00:06:25.000 And this is the FBI.
00:06:27.000 The FBI is the Gestapo right now.
00:06:29.000 I know they hate when I say that, but they're the Gestapo.
00:06:31.000 We're not going to back off going with the Gestapo because they have Gestapo-like tactics.
00:06:35.000 Here's my point.
00:06:36.000 They're losing.
00:06:37.000 They're only trying to use this national security state muscle because they know they're not winning.
00:06:43.000 And quite frankly, when you do things like the great reset this weekend and get young people up to speed on what's going on, that drives them even more insane.
00:06:50.000 So, hey, turning point's going to be a target, a big league target.
00:06:53.000 Okay.
00:06:54.000 So just stand by, Charlie.
00:06:55.000 It's all coming.
00:06:56.000 It's all going to come hard and heavy.
00:06:58.000 We're already not just anticipating it, but experiencing it.
00:07:01.000 But that's okay.
00:07:02.000 That's a sign of success.
00:07:03.000 And yes, we actually have Klaus Schwab's book that we read here, COVID-19, The Great Reset.
00:07:08.000 Every time a reporter says it's a conspiracy theory, I have a stack of these on my desk.
00:07:12.000 I say, just read it.
00:07:13.000 Read it.
00:07:14.000 Tell me what this is.
00:07:15.000 This is the blueprint.
00:07:16.000 They publish it.
00:07:17.000 In fact, I think that's part of their strategy is hiding in plain sight.
00:07:20.000 They publish the book so that they don't have the kind of investigative bombshell.
00:07:23.000 They say, oh, it's just the right deal.
00:07:25.000 But hold it.
00:07:25.000 You know what's interesting about that, Charlie?
00:07:27.000 They publish it, and you're absolutely correct to say it's all out there.
00:07:30.000 Tell me how many reporters that try to get up in your girl have ever read any of this stuff.
00:07:33.000 What's so shocking is that the reporters today, and not just the people on TV, they're all actors.
00:07:39.000 It's all performative.
00:07:40.000 They don't really have any of that.
00:07:41.000 When you start pushing back on any of the actual facts, it's like it's all new information to them.
00:07:46.000 And that's why it's not new information to your audience and to the war room posse, et cetera, because every day we're grinding on this.
00:07:52.000 So, Steve, I want to zero in on the game plan.
00:07:54.000 And I know you're very focused on action, action, action, but you said 35 raids yesterday.
00:07:59.000 That's insane.
00:08:00.000 And you're right.
00:08:00.000 Our team is pulling this up yesterday.
00:08:02.000 And I'm not trying to out these people.
00:08:04.000 It's all public, right?
00:08:04.000 Rudy Giuliani, Boris Epstein, Bruce Marks, Victoria Thonsing, and Joe Genova were raided, it looks like, according to the Washington Post, shocking, the same day that they perp walk you in New York.
00:08:16.000 Meanwhile, they raided James O'Keefe.
00:08:17.000 Yes, Steve.
00:08:19.000 Yeah, that's okay.
00:08:20.000 So that story right there is what they broke and what they leaked.
00:08:23.000 Those names, I think, came to five or six names.
00:08:25.000 There's a total of 35 yesterday, including other prominent people.
00:08:29.000 And they were raids.
00:08:31.000 They were to drop subpoenas and to take their electronic equipment.
00:08:36.000 Remember, when they take your electronic equipment, they do it under this thing called a subpoena.
00:08:40.000 They're very narrow.
00:08:40.000 But if, oh, they mistake, they inadvertently see anything, they come back and they just want to get into the electronic devices to get all your emails, all your phone messages, all your text messages, et cetera.
00:08:52.000 This is another attempt of intimidation.
00:08:55.000 And that's what they're trying to do.
00:08:56.000 And they're trying to go now down to the next level in the MAGA movement.
00:09:00.000 And they're going to continue.
00:09:01.000 I said yesterday walking in there, every conservative, it's not me.
00:09:04.000 They're coming for you.
00:09:05.000 They're coming for everybody.
00:09:06.000 They're coming for everybody.
00:09:07.000 Even in your local community, if you mention, hey, I support Trump.
00:09:10.000 I like the MAGA thing.
00:09:12.000 You're going to be at it at the country club.
00:09:13.000 You're going to be added at your Rotary Club and your Lions Club and everything like that.
00:09:16.000 It's going to say, no, you can't talk about that here.
00:09:18.000 This is, they're going full social and cultural warfare here.
00:09:22.000 And look, if you blink, we're going to lose.
00:09:25.000 Right now, we're winning.
00:09:26.000 And that's why they're getting more and more desperate.
00:09:29.000 But as they get desperate, they're going to get uglier and nastier and meaner.
00:09:33.000 And right now is the time of testing.
00:09:35.000 This is a time of testing.
00:09:36.000 And if you bear down and stick with it, right, and make sure that pray to divine providence and get that spiritual power, we'll get through this and we'll win.
00:09:44.000 But I tell you, if you blink, and this has happened before in American history, if you blink, it's over.
00:09:50.000 So, Steve, what's the game plan then?
00:09:52.000 How do you counter this?
00:09:53.000 I agree with what you said last gas of the dying regime, but they are using naked political power to go after every single political dissident that has a voice, that has a platform.
00:10:03.000 So then what's the game plan to counter this?
00:10:06.000 The game plan to counter this, Charlie, you talk about it all the time.
00:10:08.000 It's not just winning, number one, you got to take in segments.
00:10:11.000 We must have a sweeping victory from school boards to election boards all the way up to the House and Senate on November 8th.
00:10:17.000 We must win and we must win decisively.
00:10:19.000 I'm talking 40, 50, 60 more seats in the House, pick up a couple of seats in the Senate, hold what we got, win every state legislature, school boards.
00:10:26.000 But then, as you talk about all the time, is then understand how to use power.
00:10:31.000 That's exactly right.
00:10:32.000 We must crush these people.
00:10:34.000 We got to win at the ballot box, and then we got to take them apart brick by brick.
00:10:38.000 And I mean cutting them off from money, massive investigations, imprison them.
00:10:42.000 It's smash mouth.
00:10:43.000 They want to play smash mouth.
00:10:44.000 We can do it.
00:10:45.000 And you can't do it with the khaki pant, you know, button-down shirt, a blue blazer, country club Republicans.
00:10:54.000 That's not going to hack it.
00:10:55.000 We now need to go next level.
00:10:56.000 But so, Steve, this is a time of choosing for a lot of our grassroots, right?
00:11:00.000 And I know the War Room posse has made their decision, but there's some people listening right now that are younger.
00:11:05.000 They have a whole future ahead of them.
00:11:06.000 And they're listening.
00:11:07.000 They say, wait a second, why do I want to put myself through this?
00:11:10.000 You know, to get audited, to get tarred and feathered, to get outed.
00:11:13.000 I'm all for you guys, but I'm going to be kind of cheering from the sidelines.
00:11:16.000 The call to action, though, is that they will find you.
00:11:19.000 Thought crimes will be punished.
00:11:20.000 They will penalize.
00:11:22.000 Isn't it?
00:11:22.000 And you said something so interesting, Steve.
00:11:23.000 You said, quote, yesterday was one of the best days of my life.
00:11:27.000 And that might be a hard thing for some people to really understand.
00:11:30.000 I think I understand it partially.
00:11:32.000 What you're saying, though, is that I am who I am.
00:11:34.000 I'm at peace spiritually.
00:11:37.000 If evil comes against me, then okay, so be it.
00:11:39.000 But I don't have to pretend.
00:11:40.000 I don't have to be a fake.
00:11:41.000 I don't have to be a phony.
00:11:42.000 Can you elaborate on that?
00:11:43.000 No, that's why we love playing the, that's why we love playing the, we've played the perp walk all day long.
00:11:49.000 I'm very proud of that, right?
00:11:50.000 I'm so proud of what we did at the wall.
00:11:51.000 We were the first guys down there to say, hey, remember, anybody's seen the movie Sicario, this is exactly where Sicario was.
00:11:57.000 The first wall we built.
00:11:58.000 We built other wall on the Rio Grande, on the banks of the Rio Grande.
00:12:02.000 I am so proud that we made a statement about the sovereignty of this nation.
00:12:05.000 We're not backing it off.
00:12:06.000 Anybody that's a sovereigntist is who they're trying to destroy.
00:12:09.000 And for those people you said right there, they're in the middle.
00:12:11.000 Look, that's the revolution.
00:12:12.000 One-third were patriots.
00:12:13.000 One-third were hardcore Tories.
00:12:15.000 One-third in the middle to see how it plays.
00:12:17.000 You have to make the only thing that I tell people is search your own heart.
00:12:21.000 Search your own heart.
00:12:23.000 What is right?
00:12:24.000 This is a time of testing.
00:12:25.000 This is a time of choosing.
00:12:27.000 This is a time of decision-making.
00:12:28.000 Okay.
00:12:29.000 Charlie Kirk's not going to tell you what to do.
00:12:31.000 Steve Bennett's not going to tell you what to do.
00:12:32.000 It has to come from your own inner being, from your own heart.
00:12:35.000 You have to ask yourself, what should I be doing?
00:12:38.000 Okay.
00:12:39.000 And maybe now in your heart, it's not the right time.
00:12:42.000 Maybe you'll do it later.
00:12:43.000 But trust me, there's going to come a moment in your life that's going to come sooner rather than later.
00:12:47.000 If you're in college, you're just starting on, that you're going to be in a situation that you're going to have to stand and deliver.
00:12:52.000 And if you don't, if you blink and you look the other way, remember, every day in the mirror, you're going to have to look at yourself and understand that when the time of choosing, when divine providence puts you in that spot, you said, I don't have it.
00:13:03.000 I don't have it.
00:13:04.000 It's more than looking in the mirror.
00:13:05.000 And I could say this as a new father.
00:13:06.000 It's looking at your kid.
00:13:09.000 That's way more important.
00:13:10.000 The mirror is one thing.
00:13:12.000 That's important.
00:13:13.000 That's somewhat, you know, kind of ego-driven, and not in a bad way, but then you have to look at the next generation.
00:13:20.000 That's a real thing for account for every parent and grandparent out there.
00:13:24.000 That's more powerful.
00:13:26.000 That's the real mirror.
00:13:26.000 That's the mirror of the family.
00:13:28.000 That's right.
00:13:28.000 Look at that.
00:13:29.000 Look at that next generation and think of every generation that handed it down to you that you could hand it to that baby.
00:13:34.000 That three-tied knot, as Edmund Burke would say, what came before, what is here currently, and what comes ahead.
00:13:39.000 That's what conservatism is.
00:13:42.000 And these societal arsonists, they want to destroy all of that.
00:13:48.000 Uncle Tom 2 is an eye-opening documentary everyone in America should see.
00:13:52.000 Charlie Kirk here.
00:13:53.000 Uncle Tom 2 offers a compelling and brave analysis of the true history of black America.
00:13:58.000 It talks about the cultural shift from prosperity, integrity, and faith to its current perceived state of anger, discontent, and victimhood.
00:14:08.000 Uncle Tom 2 offers historical footage, photos, correspondence, and data to reveal the genuine strides of black America in the 20th century, the deliberate Marxist strategy to create racial tension and replace God with government, the NAACP's sinister agenda, the truth behind Black Lives Matter, and more.
00:14:24.000 Don't miss Uncle Tom 2 from executive producer Larry Elder and director Justin Malone.

00:14:43.000 How do people support you?
00:14:44.000 We're getting so many questions about that.
00:14:46.000 Go to warroom.org and just catch us on RealAmerica Voice or Rumble.
00:14:49.000 All we ask the audience to do is just be a force multiplier.
00:14:51.000 Take the content and push it out.
00:14:53.000 It's all free.
00:14:54.000 No paywall.
00:14:55.000 Just hit us at RealAmerica Voice app or just come to warroom.org.
00:14:59.000 We try to keep it simple, Charlie.
00:15:01.000 Warroom.org is the best way.
00:15:03.000 I love that.
00:15:03.000 And the show is great.
00:15:04.000 We listen to it before our show every single day.
00:15:06.000 And this drumbeat is continuing, and the populist nationalist movement is increasing.
00:15:12.000 And that's why they have to go to these desperate measures.
00:15:14.000 And so, Steve, I want to talk about moves and countermoves because we got to start talking about gamesmanship: how much farther are they willing to go?
00:15:22.000 And how do then we not just win elections, but is there anything else we can do as far as exposing them and keeping the pressure on?
00:15:29.000 I think that's one of the things they're most worried about: how they can't cancel us as easily as they used to be.
00:15:34.000 We've created these alternative networks and these channels of communication that the word is getting out.
00:15:39.000 So that's a very important thing.
00:15:40.000 Steve, let's talk about some other moves.
00:15:42.000 Grassroots people are saying, what can we do?
00:15:44.000 Of course, the election is important.
00:15:45.000 But more broadly, they're not going to slow down.
00:15:47.000 They are accelerating.
00:15:48.000 You said 35 FBI raids yesterday.
00:15:51.000 And this is a topic a lot of conservatives don't like talking about.
00:15:53.000 You know, they'll talk about tax cuts.
00:15:55.000 They'll talk about certain things.
00:15:56.000 As soon as it's about political power, they run to the hills.
00:15:58.000 Why is that, Steve?
00:16:00.000 Because they're intimidated by the culture around them that if they get called a nativist or xenophobe or racist, which are all lies, that means they've lost the intellectual argument.
00:16:10.000 They're afraid that they're going to be added at the country club or their social things.
00:16:13.000 You have to put that all aside.
00:16:15.000 That's what this is not about.
00:16:16.000 This is about action.
00:16:18.000 This is about your agency.
00:16:19.000 Everything we talk about, everything Charlie talks about, is about how you weaponize yourself, okay, individually.
00:16:25.000 This is about a school board.
00:16:26.000 This is about becoming a precinct strategy.
00:16:28.000 You know, go to precinctstrategy.com.
00:16:30.000 This is about going to election boards or a canvassing board.
00:16:32.000 Whatever your talents are, those talents now can be used in this movement.
00:16:36.000 But it's not just watching Charlie Kirk or Tucker Carlson or Steve Bannon.
00:16:40.000 It's not just being passive.
00:16:42.000 This is about action, action, action.
00:16:44.000 And Charlie, quite frankly, the reason you guys are going to become an already a top target is that they never thought we'd be able to actually pass this down in kind of a smart form to the rising generation.
00:16:55.000 Your concept a couple of years ago was college campuses, but it's expanded college campus.
00:17:00.000 So many of the people have graduated and gone to younger life.
00:17:02.000 That generation under 35, and you're seeing this now in some of these great candidates coming up everywhere from school boards all the way up to running for the state legislatures and also running in Congress.
00:17:14.000 The amazing thing is they're freaking out that what used to be the most progressive left-wing aspect is not.
00:17:21.000 We're already making massive intros.
00:17:23.000 And that's why this conference show me on the left anything that matches the conference you're having this weekend for young people on the Great Reset.
00:17:30.000 They're not doing that.
00:17:30.000 It's next.
00:17:32.000 They're not doing that at all.
00:17:34.000 You understand activism.
00:17:35.000 You understand putting your shoulder to the wheel.
00:17:37.000 The reason they fear Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, and a host of others is not because of those individuals.
00:17:45.000 It's what they've done to empower people for own self-empowerment.
00:17:49.000 This is about you, and they're coming for you.
00:17:51.000 And nobody's going to save you.
00:17:52.000 Nobody's going to save us.
00:17:54.000 We're going to save, just like nobody saved the revolutionary generation.
00:17:57.000 Nobody saved anybody in Civil War or in World War II.
00:17:59.000 You have to save yourself.
00:18:02.000 And you do that by human agency and then binding together into a community.
00:18:07.000 And remember, just like a fist.
00:18:09.000 And so we can never show weakness.
00:18:10.000 We can never show fear.
00:18:11.000 And we can't back off an instrument.
00:18:12.000 And then also not take their bait and remain peaceful.
00:18:14.000 They'd love nothing more than to provoke us into something that isn't in our own kind of modus operandi.
00:18:20.000 To reinforce what Steve said, a week from today, Steve Bannon is keynoting our event in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:18:26.000 If you guys want to support Steve in person, it's tpusa.com/slash reset.
00:18:31.000 There's still tickets available.
00:18:33.000 It's all about defeating the great reset.
00:18:35.000 This is not going to be a rally event.
00:18:37.000 We do a lot of rallies.
00:18:38.000 No, this is about education.
00:18:39.000 What is the great reset?
00:18:40.000 Who is Klaus Schwab?
00:18:41.000 What are the promises of it?
00:18:42.000 What is German historicism?
00:18:44.000 What is post-structuralism?
00:18:45.000 What is postmodernism?
00:18:46.000 What is transhumanism?
00:18:47.000 We have James Lindsay, Drew Hernandez, Rob McCoy.
00:18:49.000 Keynote by Steve Bannon a week from tonight, Jack Pesobic.
00:18:52.000 It's tpusa.com/slash reset.
00:18:54.000 Real America's voice is going to be streaming the entire thing.
00:18:57.000 Closing thoughts here, Steve.
00:18:59.000 You just nailed it in your previous interview with Trofalgo.
00:19:01.000 We're two-thirds of the country.
00:19:03.000 Don't take debate.
00:19:04.000 They keep talking about political violence.
00:19:05.000 They're the ones that have to be violent.
00:19:07.000 They have to use legal violence.
00:19:09.000 They have to use political violence.
00:19:10.000 We have two-thirds of the country support us on the fundamentals of this.
00:19:15.000 This is about action and agency, Charlie.
00:19:18.000 It's about getting more information, about pushing that information out, and about taking the people around you and building an organization even better, even tougher, and with more steely resolve.
00:19:28.000 It is about the posture of action.
00:19:30.000 I tell people all the time, they say, Charlie, what do I do?
00:19:32.000 I say, look, it's not a shopping list, okay?
00:19:34.000 It's not a grocery list.
00:19:35.000 But if you change your posture, you change your approach, everything starts to make sense.
00:19:39.000 Then all of a sudden, all starts to kind of put in line, right, Steve?
00:19:42.000 It's not just like, okay, here's the five things to do.
00:19:44.000 It's a change of an entire philosophy.
00:19:47.000 30 seconds.
00:19:48.000 A metanoia.
00:19:49.000 Change of being.
00:19:50.000 There you go.
00:19:53.000 In early Christianity, this is a metanoia.
00:19:55.000 Change your being.
00:19:56.000 Amen.
00:19:57.000 Steve, we'll see you next week at our great reset event.
00:19:59.000 Keep fighting.
00:20:00.000 God bless you.
00:20:01.000 Charlie, thank you very much.
00:20:02.000 Honored.
00:20:03.000 Courage is the rarest virtue for a reason.
00:20:07.000 And Aristotle, amongst many other thinkers, said it's the most necessary.
00:20:12.000 George S. Patton said, moral courage is the most necessary yet absent characteristic in men.
00:20:19.000 Aristotle said, courage is the virtue of which all other flow, because without it, there's nothing else.
00:20:26.000 There's no honesty.
00:20:27.000 There's no integrity.
00:20:28.000 There's no decency, generosity, benevolency, virtue, if you don't have courage.
00:20:38.000 There's something happening in my home state of Illinois that is worthy of repeated national attention.
00:20:44.000 We can't forget what's happening in Illinois.
00:20:46.000 These are wonderful and beautiful people that are just being abused by bad politicians.
00:20:52.000 And it's a blueprint of what's going to happen across the country.
00:20:56.000 It's a blueprint of what is going to spread.
00:20:59.000 We talked about this yesterday.
00:21:01.000 We're going to dive into it more detail.
00:21:02.000 Let's start with cut 90.
00:21:05.000 For nearly 30 years, crime was falling in the United States.
00:21:10.000 No more.
00:21:16.000 The national murder rate is at its highest in 25 years.
00:21:22.000 The result of far-left policies that leave innocent Americans at the mercy of violent criminals.
00:21:28.000 Violent crime is up 21% in Washington, D.C., 35% Chicago, 41% in New York City, and murders are up 207% in Portland.
00:21:41.000 This video is made by Citizens for Sanity.
00:21:43.000 So while violent crime is skyrocketing, Illinois and the, I should say the Illinois government, because not the people of Illinois, they snuck in the most insane bill in the entire country when it comes to non-detainable offenses.
00:22:00.000 To help us unpack this is the mayor of a fabulous city, Orland Park.
00:22:05.000 I've spent a lot of time in Orland Park.
00:22:07.000 And he's also running for Congress in the sixth congressional district in Illinois.
00:22:13.000 And it is Keith Picaugh, and he joins us right now.
00:22:15.000 Keith, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:22:17.000 Thanks for having me, Charlie.
00:22:18.000 I appreciate it.
00:22:19.000 So, Keith, tell us about the Safety Act.
00:22:23.000 What are now non-detainable offenses starting in January of next year?
00:22:28.000 So, some of the non-detainable offenses, and this is not all of them, but kidnapping, threatening a public official, second-degree murder, armed robbery, assaults.
00:22:39.000 The list goes on and on.
00:22:40.000 Pretty much the only thing that they can be held for is murder without jumping through a ton of hoops.
00:22:47.000 I mean, so the list here is second-degree murder, robbery, kidnapping, intimidation, drug-induced homicide, which can what is drug-induced homicide exactly?
00:22:56.000 I made a guess of what it is.
00:22:58.000 Based on the wording, does that mean that you kill somebody under the influence of drugs?
00:23:03.000 I don't know if that's what it means or it means you gave somebody drugs to kill them.
00:23:06.000 I'm not sure what that means.
00:23:07.000 I'm going to talk to our police department to know.
00:23:09.000 But essentially, if it's not first-degree murder, you're out with no bail.
00:23:16.000 Burglary, arson, aggravated fleeing, aggravated DUI, aggravated battery.
00:23:21.000 So, Mr. Mayor, was this done with a lot of debate and back and forth, or is this done rather quietly?
00:23:27.000 This didn't receive the attention that it should have.
00:23:30.000 This is the most dangerous, ludicrous, insane piece of legislation I have seen when it comes to crime ever.
00:23:39.000 So, what they did was it was a different bill number, and there were about 40,000 witness slips, as I recall, against it.
00:23:45.000 We spoke against it.
00:23:46.000 A lot of people spoke against it.
00:23:48.000 And then they took that bill off the table.
00:23:50.000 And then in the middle of the night, they reintroduced a new bill with a new number.
00:23:53.000 So it has no witness slips.
00:23:55.000 And it was literally in the middle of the night, like three in the morning.
00:23:57.000 I got 40 minutes to read it.
00:23:59.000 And then they voted on it.
00:24:00.000 And it was nearly, I think it was a 786-page bill, if I recall, but it was in that neighborhood in 40 minutes.
00:24:07.000 But I mean, crime is going up all across Illinois.
00:24:09.000 It's going up in Chicago.
00:24:11.000 I don't know if it's going up in Orland Park or not, but I'm hearing lots of reports that it's starting to go up in the collar counties and in the suburbs.
00:24:18.000 And so now we have this bill while that's law, while crime is going up.
00:24:25.000 What do everyday people in the suburbs of Chicago think about this?
00:24:29.000 I mean, I can't imagine this is popular, even with moderate Democrats.
00:24:32.000 I don't think they really know.
00:24:34.000 And I don't think it's popular.
00:24:35.000 Here in Orland Park, we've managed to buck the crime weight, the crime statistics and lowered crime for the last five years.
00:24:43.000 The lowest has been in 27 years, but we're under incredible pressure from Cook County with Kim Fox's policies.
00:24:49.000 And this is Kim Fox's policies on steroids.
00:24:52.000 I mean, this is going to lead to everyone having to take the law into their own hands because even worse than the bail issue is the fact that trespassing now becomes a shall issue a ticket.
00:25:03.000 They cannot be arrested.
00:25:04.000 An officer can't put their hands on a suspect or it's a Fourth Amendment violation.
00:25:11.000 So for anything that's trespassing, so someone can come live in your shed.
00:25:16.000 They could camp out at your pool.
00:25:17.000 They camp out in your front yard.
00:25:19.000 They could get into a business and officers can't remove them.
00:25:22.000 Well, but now people are going to have to take that responsibility.
00:25:26.000 How's that going to work out?
00:25:28.000 So you're trying to tell me that if someone breaks into your home, the police cannot remove that person.
00:25:35.000 So if they camp out in your garage, you know, if they break the doors, then, you know, then obviously it's breaking and entering.
00:25:41.000 So then you can do something.
00:25:42.000 But if they go camp out in your shed or they decide to climb your pool or they decide to pitch a tent in your front yard or they walk into an open door in your garage and decide to camp out and they're trespassing, that would be trespassing.
00:25:54.000 They cannot arrest them.
00:25:56.000 They're not allowed to lay their hands on them.
00:25:58.000 They shall issue them a ticket.
00:26:00.000 So that's what will happen.
00:26:01.000 Somebody throws a, you know, throws a rock through a window in a business.
00:26:05.000 That's also a ticketable.
00:26:06.000 There's other offenses as well that are tickets only.
00:26:10.000 But somebody camps themselves out in a business and decides they won't leave, like in a bar.
00:26:15.000 They're drunk and disorderly in a bar and they're just trespassing that officers won't be able to remove them.
00:26:22.000 What could go wrong if they stay there for two more hours?
00:26:24.000 I hope everyone in the national audience is listening very carefully to what you're saying.
00:26:28.000 This is not some academic paper.
00:26:30.000 This is not some op-ed.
00:26:31.000 This is the law in the state of Illinois effective in January, where if someone goes, yeah, please go ahead.
00:26:37.000 It was passed last year.
00:26:38.000 And the reason it's not going to affect them in January is because they know exactly what's going to happen.
00:26:42.000 And it's going to lead to residents having to take, a resident's business is having to take the law into their own hands.
00:26:42.000 Yeah, of course.
00:26:48.000 And that is not a recipe for a very civil society.
00:26:50.000 No, that's Brazil, actually.
00:26:52.000 And that's not a pleasant place to live.
00:26:54.000 Brazil's a beautiful country.
00:26:56.000 But if you have money in Brazil, you have armed guards and bulletproof cars and you have a fenced and gated community.
00:27:01.000 And when the sun goes down, you're very careful where you go at night.
00:27:04.000 That's the type of society they're creating.
00:27:06.000 Let me ask you, why do you think they're doing this?
00:27:10.000 What is the motivation here?
00:27:13.000 I can't understand why anyone who's sitting in public office would have this motivation.
00:27:18.000 I mean, this is going to lead to anarchy.
00:27:20.000 And I can't see where that's good for anyone.
00:27:22.000 I'm sure we could follow the money.
00:27:24.000 I did see something the other day that there's a lot of back end issues with regards to this particular law because it requires body cams and some other things and doesn't fund it.
00:27:35.000 But the expenses to handle all of that, there are legislators that are invested in the companies that, of course, that do that.
00:27:42.000 So I'm sure if we followed the money trail, there'd be some of that involved.
00:27:46.000 It is Illinois after all.
00:27:48.000 I mean, it's incredible.
00:27:49.000 So, you're running for Congress.
00:27:51.000 Tell us about your race and how people can support you.
00:27:54.000 So, I'm running in the Illinois 6th District, which is the southwest and west suburbs of Chicago.
00:28:00.000 I'm running against incumbent Sean Caston.
00:28:02.000 You can support me at keithpea.com.
00:28:04.000 It's a seat that we are going to flip to take back the house.
00:28:07.000 And even though it's in the suburbs of Chicago, they actually created a district that's actually very winnable.
00:28:12.000 And we're planning on winning it.
00:28:13.000 You can't find anyone further left than Sean Caston.
00:28:16.000 He's as far left, actually, further left than AOC.
00:28:19.000 So people have a distinct choice here in Illinois.
00:28:22.000 And hopefully, they start making the right one because we're at the precipice in Illinois, as you see with this law.
00:28:29.000 I mean, it's bad.
00:28:31.000 Mr. Mayor, thank you so much for joining us.
00:28:33.000 Thank you very much for having me, Charlie.
00:28:34.000 I appreciate it.
00:28:35.000 Thanks.
00:28:36.000 Bye-bye.
00:28:40.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?

00:28:44.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.

00:28:52.000 That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.

00:29:36.000 So, what is the goal?
00:29:38.000 What is the goal of trying to have mass anarchy?
00:29:44.000 It's very clear if you read Plato's Republic.
00:29:47.000 It's very clear when you study the left.
00:29:50.000 I'm going to walk you through what their agenda is.
00:29:52.000 I teased it a little bit yesterday about a national police force, but it's deeper than that.
00:29:58.000 It's more significant than that.
00:30:00.000 To open up the jails and to let the criminals run free is a strategy.
00:30:05.000 It requires you to believe that your leaders do not want what's best for you.
00:30:10.000 It requires you to entertain the fact that the people in charge of our society, the guardians, the politicians, they want the ability to control you more.
00:30:22.000 You might say, well, Charlie, why would they want anarchy if they want the ability to control us more?
00:30:28.000 That's like asking why would they want a virus for the ability to be able to keep your kids from going to school?
00:30:34.000 You need a crisis for a precondition to take liberties and freedoms away.
00:30:39.000 Remember, we are dealing with crisis seekers and crisis manufacturers.
00:30:45.000 What could possibly be the goal there?
00:30:48.000 I'm going to dive into it and reference Plato's Republic, some ancestral wisdom to walk us through it.
00:30:56.000 Why are they doing this?
00:30:57.000 Why have they passed into law in Illinois a bill that says if you kidnap somebody, you are not required to post bail and it is a non-detainable offense.
00:31:09.000 Somebody sent us a wonderful email, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:31:12.000 They said, Charlie, if it's no bail, that means they can't leave, right?
00:31:15.000 And I should have been more precise in my language.
00:31:17.000 It's a great point.
00:31:18.000 He's right that typically, when you say no bail, what you mean is that the offense was so terrible that you are detained indefinitely, not detained indefinitely, detained until trial.
00:31:28.000 When I say no bail, I mean the crime does not necessitate you to have to post any bail.
00:31:34.000 It's a non-detainable offense.
00:31:36.000 So, in Chicago, if you go into an elementary school and kidnap a six-year-old and then commit a double homicide, burn down a home, and then give out fentanyl, which then has a drug-induced homicide, you are not required to post any bail for those things.
00:31:54.000 You just are able to walk through the streets, they process you for the crime, and then you leave.
00:31:59.000 If in Chicago or in the suburbs of Chicago or in Bowlingbrook or in Plainfield or in McHenry County, you show up with a tent in somebody's front yard, the police cannot use force to remove you.
00:32:14.000 Why are they doing this?
00:32:16.000 Well, the people who push this forward are legitimate activists, representative slaughter and others.
00:32:23.000 They're BLM activists.
00:32:24.000 They are pro-crime.
00:32:26.000 They represent in their heart the needs, wants, and interests of criminals.
00:32:30.000 They believe the police are white supremacist, racist, terrible, and awful.
00:32:36.000 They believe human beings are naturally good.
00:32:39.000 They are disciples of Rousseau, and they believe that it is the police, it is the law, it is the white supremacist colonialist, there's that term again, superstructure that is keeping them from being able to flourish and succeed.
00:32:54.000 It's complete nonsense.
00:32:55.000 It's garbage.
00:32:56.000 It's balderdash.
00:32:58.000 It is driven by a need, want, and desire to represent what the criminals want.
00:33:06.000 But they're just kind of the worker bees, Representative Slaughter, and all these people in Chicago.
00:33:10.000 And yes, for those of you that are tuning in, the person that put forward this bill, his name is literally Representative Slaughter.
00:33:16.000 Samuel Clemens, in his heyday, couldn't have come up with a more poetically ironic name, the author of the bill, Representative Slaughter.
00:33:27.000 But no, it's deeper than that.
00:33:29.000 You see, the people in charge, J.B. Pritzker and the people that are calling the shots, they want this for a different reason, and it's not for ideological reasons.
00:33:39.000 The reason is that when you have crime increasing, it then creates the precondition to be able to take people's freedoms, liberties, and weapons away.
00:33:51.000 The same way that COVID gave them the mandate, gave them the green light to be able to mass kids, bail out blue states, spend trillions of dollars we don't have, make billionaires fabulously wealthy, get us closer to the Great Reset.
00:34:09.000 I have the Great Reset book literally right here by Klaus Schwab.
00:34:12.000 You know, some people say, oh, Charlie, the Great Reset is a conspiracy theory.
00:34:16.000 Just read Klaus Schwab's book.
00:34:17.000 It's right here.
00:34:19.000 I've read it.
00:34:20.000 You should too.
00:34:21.000 It's very illuminating.
00:34:24.000 They are crisis seekers.
00:34:26.000 You see, emergency powers give them the ability to be able to control you.
00:34:35.000 Never let a crisis go to waste, as Rahm Emanuel would say.
00:34:39.000 But what if there's no crisis?
00:34:42.000 Then we need to create one.
00:34:44.000 Plato said it best in Plato's Republic, Plato, of course, who taught Aristotle.
00:34:51.000 In chapters 8 and 9, Plato described how the city-state will descend into chaos.
00:34:57.000 A mayor or governor will then come along who demands emergency powers to fix a situation and in the process will usurp power and become a tyrant.
00:35:06.000 Plato talked about the cycle of governance.
00:35:09.000 Let me note if this sounds familiar.
00:35:11.000 Last of all cycles come the tyrant.
00:35:13.000 In the early days of his power, he is full of smiles and salutes everyone who he meets, making promises in public and also in private, liberating debtors and distributing land to people and his followers, and wanting to be kind and good to everyone.
00:35:28.000 This is the root from which a tyrant springs.
00:35:31.000 When he first appears above ground, he is a protector.
00:35:36.000 Hinting at the abolition of debts and the partition of lands, he begins to make party against the rich.
00:35:42.000 And when the man who is wealthy is also accused of being an enemy of the people, sees, he flees and he's not ashamed to be called a coward.
00:35:49.000 And he uses that power and control over the people.
00:35:54.000 Why do they want to open up the prisons?
00:35:56.000 Why do they want to relax all these laws?
00:35:59.000 It gives them an excuse for a national police force to take our weapons away, to audit your businesses, to maybe use those 87,000 new IRS agents.
00:36:09.000 And then, of course, it keeps their constituent base happy that they no longer have to be held accountable for their arson, their kidnapping, and their second-degree murder.
