00:00:26.000Hey, everybody, China celebrates a 100-year anniversary for the Chinese Communist Party.
00:00:33.000We talk about that, and also I'm joined by David Engelhart with us to go through the latest indictments with the Trump organization of what's happening in Manhattan.
00:00:44.000Email us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:47.000And if you want to support our program, go to charliekirk.com slash support.
00:01:12.000His 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.
00:01:21.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:38.000That's why I get my meat from goodranchers.com because their product is 100% American.
00:01:43.000When you buy your steak and chicken from Good Ranchers, not only are you getting amazing meat, you're also supporting American farms.
00:01:50.000My friends at Good Ranchers have traveled the United States and met with the actual farmers that raise the livestock to ensure the product they are sending to your table is the very best.
00:01:59.000All the products are individually wrapped, which eliminate waste.
00:03:11.000What if I told you America and our leaders, our political elite, that we created the greatest menace on the planet?
00:03:21.000That it didn't come up of their own making, but we made a series of public policy choices that have led to the rise of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:03:32.000They're celebrating their 100-year anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party in China.
00:03:38.000Mao Seitong, an evil man who might be responsible for more deaths than any other person ever to live in the history of the world.
00:03:45.000It's a competition between Stalin and Mao.
00:03:48.000He attended the first party congress in July of 1921.
00:03:51.000It was actually held on July 23rd, but Mao misremembered it and established it the holiday on July 1st.
00:03:58.000At the time, China was an agrarian country, very poor, of about 400 million people, plagued by civil war and unrest.
00:04:07.000After the communists gained power in 1949, Mao initiated a series of disastrous economic reforms that led to the deaths of tens of millions of people.
00:04:18.000The China that we know today only began to take shape in the late 1970s when Mao's successor, Deng Xiping, opened up its market to international investors.
00:04:28.000Now, the Chinese and the Chinese Communist Party, they're not good at many things.
00:04:54.000The Chinese, and I want to make a distinction because I'm going to get all these emails from some sort of anti-Asian hate group, whatever, of the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese people.
00:08:25.000And then he thought it would be a great idea to open up relations with China.
00:08:29.000I was told my entire life, the more we trade with China, the more they're going to love America.
00:08:34.000The more we trade with China, the more Western they're going to become.
00:08:37.000The more we trade with China, the more they're all of a sudden going to be marching in the streets and wearing Levi jeans and eating Big Macs, taking selfies with Apple iPhones and demanding justice.
00:09:10.000They have a million Muslims in concentration camps.
00:09:13.000You know, I get, I laugh when these white liberals may say, oh, never again can we allow fascism to rise.
00:09:19.000They say, okay, while you're wearing your Nike sneakers and you have zero muscle mass I can detect on your entire androgonist body, spare me the lecture while you eat your vegan smoothie, whatever that is.
00:09:36.000So until you call China what they are, which is a geopolitical enemy, they are genocidally committed to the abolition of a religion, then I don't want to hear about your big protests.
00:09:51.000The GDP rose from $191 billion to $14.3 trillion in 2019.
00:09:59.000The bottom line, it's 100 years old, the CCP, and it remains the greatest enemy of the West.
00:10:06.000So what are we supposed to do about this?
00:10:57.000It's an app that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers that your private online activity says just that, private.
00:11:05.000ExpressVPN works on all of your devices and it's super easy to use.

00:11:25.000The Chinese Communist Party who make your shoes, monitor your activities, and quite honestly, are dominating the world right now.
00:11:33.000And it's not just the Chinese Communist Party.
00:11:35.000Here's the divide, I think, the way we need to look at it.
00:11:37.000And by the way, this is not a new divide.
00:11:39.000This is not a, these are not new lines.
00:11:42.000It's just, it keeps on repeating itself every couple decades.
00:11:48.000Those people that want human beings to live freely, and those that want to live under the authoritarian control of another.
00:11:55.000This sort of divide happened in the 60s, 70s, and 80s with the Soviet Union.
00:12:00.000It happened in the 40s and 50s when we were up against the National Socialist Workers' Party in Germany and also imperial ambitions of Japan.
00:12:09.000And so, on team control, you have Facebook, you have Google, you have the Chinese Communist Party, you have Amazon, you have Bezos, you have Hollywood, you have Athletics, Eric Swawell, and almost the entire American media and all of academia.
00:12:22.000On team free, you have conservatives, some churches, some pastors, and decent Americans.
00:12:33.000And I will say Japan is actually on that team too.
00:12:38.000And so, we need to start to say, okay, you're on team control.
00:12:42.000You have such a sorry state of your own existence, you want to go dominate another person.
00:12:48.000And those are the dividing lines that we are living through right now.
00:12:53.000And as we start to dive deeper into the one thing the Chinese Communist Party has ever created, which again, we as Americans, we can take credit for a lot.
00:13:02.000The elevator, the airplane, the assembly line, mapping the human genome, coming up with germ theory, or at least discovering germ theory and institutionalizing it.
00:13:14.000There's a lot of things we should be very proud of as Americans.
00:13:19.000We are the ambitious and the daring and the risk-taking.
00:13:22.000We are not highway bandits like Xi Ji Ping.
00:13:25.000And so, the one thing that Xi Ji Ping and his group of thieves have actually done is they kind of haphazardly in a bio laboratory in Wuhan, China, created a virus that changed our world.
00:13:37.000And by the way, this is not what we're going to get to this hour.
00:13:42.000I'm just going to re-emphasize something for 15 seconds: they're going to try to lock us down again.
00:13:47.000The Delta variant, they're going to try to lock us down again.
00:13:51.000If you have questions about that, go to our podcast yesterday.
00:13:54.000I want to play Cut 69, where Tucker Carlson introduces Dr. Lee Min-Yung and explains how she was living and working in China and investigating the outbreak, but had to move to America in April because she came to the wrong conclusion.
00:15:11.000So they add it to the virus and finally the whole virus becomes the SAS-COVID-2, which carry different kinds of gain of functions and target humans.
00:15:22.000That's why later on, you see there are a lot of unexplained symptoms happen in the population.
00:15:30.000It was made in a laboratory and it infected the entire world.
00:15:36.000Now, I'm not accusing the Chinese Communist Party of this, but if all of a sudden I wanted to rise to prominence by my 100-year anniversary, I would create a virus, know how to solve it quickly, release it on my own people because, you know, a couple million people dying is merely a statistic to an atheist.
00:15:56.000You might as well get them out of the way when you try to dominate one or the other.
00:16:00.000And then I would release it on the rest of the world, lie about it, cover it up, and then all of a sudden the rest of the world will still be grappling with the variants while I will be the dominant power.
00:16:12.000Now, we're still going to find out whether it was intentional or whether it was incompetence, of which the CCP is full of incompetence.
00:16:20.000And they're full of the capacity to screw things up.
00:16:24.000But if I wanted to dominate the world, I would do exactly that.
00:16:29.000And she says the reason their death count is so low in China is because they locked people in their homes and they died of starvation instead of COVID.
00:16:36.000It's just the statistic to Xi Jiping, while his belly gets bigger by the diameter of every second of eating imported pork.
00:16:45.000Next segment, we'll talk a little bit about this and we'll be joined by Pastor David Engelhardt who's also an attorney to go into the latest movement of charges against Trump.
00:16:55.000Look, can I tell you something that really bothers me?
00:16:57.000When good people get scheduled for cancellation for no reason, that's what's happening to Mike Lindell.
00:17:02.000I was just with Mike Lindell with 15,000 of my closest friends in Wisconsin.
00:17:06.000And Mike Lindell was hosting an entire event and the media went after him like you wouldn't believe and they're trying to take my pillow out of every single store.

00:18:05.000I'm joined today with Pastor David Engelhart for the remainder of this hour.
00:18:45.000So I want to play one more clip here about the Chinese Communist Party, and then I want to get into the charges around President Trump because you're a lawyer as well.
00:18:53.000And I want to kind of just walk through this because I have some questions because it seems as if President Trump's organization is coming under criminal scrutiny.
00:19:03.000I just want you to hear this, that anyone who dares question the Chinese Communist Party would find themselves on a collision course with the Great Wall of Steel Forged with its 1.4 billion people.
00:19:18.000Joe, today was an important day for China.
00:19:21.000President Xi Jinping was projecting strength on this 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:19:29.000So President Xi Jinping, as you said, had warned in this speech that any foreign force attempting to bully China would, quote, find themselves on the collision course with a great wall of steel forged by China's 1.4 billion people.
00:19:45.000If you dare question us, if you dare say that our genocidal ambitions are wrong, you will come in some great wall of steel forged with your 1.4 billion people.
00:19:54.000It's awfully collectivistic because that's exactly who they are.
00:19:58.000And it's our leaders and our public policy measures that were the ones who did this.
00:20:04.000Now, the man who stood in opposition to this kind of team control, this internationalist globalist experiment was, of course, President Donald Trump.
00:20:12.000And they have not let President Trump go.
00:20:15.000In fact, it is priority number one of the entire intelligentsia on the American left to make sure he pays a price.
00:20:24.000They need to make sure that everyone sees that if you dare question the internationalist order, that you are going to pay a very significant personal price.
00:20:34.000And so David, give us the latest of what's happening right now in Manhattan with the district attorney in Korean to President Trump.
00:20:41.000Yeah, most of your listeners, I'm sure, know two years ago, Letitia James, the New York AG, started this, what's clearly proven to be a witch hunt against President Trump and the Trump organization.
00:20:54.000Now, how do we know it's proved to be a witch hunt?
00:20:57.000Because we have two years of investigations, of subpoenas, of document review, of teams of attorneys making $100,000 a peach approximately per attorney.
00:21:08.000And now two years later, we have a guy that's not even in the inner circle of the Trump organization.
00:21:16.000He's a CFO character, but he's paying bills and writing checks.
00:21:22.000And the best or the most damning evidence that we're seeing in these reports is that there are fringe benefits that weren't appropriately accounted for.
00:21:32.000So let's think about what the potential tax loss against for the city is.
00:21:44.000What is the cost-benefit analysis for New Yorkers when in the subways, people are afraid to go down there because the murder rate has increased so high.
00:21:52.000So David, I want to talk about that part first.
00:22:38.000There's just in the last few weeks, we've had murders on the subway again.
00:22:41.000And it feels unsafe for not just New Yorkers, but one of our primary economic drives is tourism.
00:22:48.000And if tourists get stabbed by a screwdriver, which I think happened in February in the subway, they're not super likely to want to visit.
00:22:56.000It says here, during the first five months of 2021, gunfire in New York City killed more than 8,100 people in the country with about 54 deaths a day.
00:23:05.000The average of the same time period in the past six years is 14 deaths per day.
00:23:09.000The shooting incidents in May in New York City jumped 73% compared to the same period last year.
00:23:15.000Overall hate crimes have increased by 98%, whereas in May 2031, that shootings overall are up 122% in New York City.
00:23:27.000But they're focused, what is the charge that they're possibly going against the Trump organization?
00:23:59.000And Barry may have got some, he may have been able to stay in an empty apartment for some time for free or some other kind of fringe benefits.
00:24:07.000Wait, this is what the criminal division of the Manhattan District Attorney is focused on.
00:24:11.000After two years of subpoenas, and here's the crazy thing, Charlie, they got the information from Barry's ex-wife, Jennifer, who, you know, obviously wanted to throw him under the truck.
00:24:21.000And so it's probably, you know, if I'm a defense attorney, I'm going to say there's personal animus related to this.
00:24:28.000The testimony is not credible because you have an ex-wife against an ex-husband.
00:24:33.000And that's how you're trumping up all of these charges to show how corrupt the quote-unquote Trump organization is.
00:24:40.000Your point, you found a hole, a divorce, right, in the armor, and you're exploiting to try to get info.
00:24:47.000And the best you can find is some kind of fringe benefits that weren't correctly taxed.
00:24:52.000Wait, so this is not even like source of income.
00:24:56.000This is not some sort of foreign collusion hoax.
00:25:00.000We're talking about hundreds of people that have been dedicated to this, and they find that Weiselberg, his family might have got tuition payments.
00:25:26.000They're making it some kind of criminal enterprise against the Trump organization that is seen as the dark emperor of New York City.
00:25:34.000So if they are all of a sudden saying, if the position of our government is that if you misuse company resources, even slightly, they're going to indict the entire state of North Dakota.
00:25:46.000I mean, the point is that this is now the standard of criminal indictment.
00:25:57.000So this is state tax law that hasn't, you know, that the elements of the crime will be that when you file your state taxes, that you have to say we did X with X money and therefore we're in Y tax bracket.
00:26:11.000And if that income or outcome, outgoing statements of your liability shifts your tax burden, well, then you may have a couple more thousand dollars to pay.
00:26:20.000And I mean in the context of an apartment somebody may have lived in for six months because the building had an empty apartment.
00:26:28.000The crazy thing is Ron Fichetti, who is a defense attorney here in town, really good attorney, he said that these kind of charges have never been filed ever before as related to criminal law and tax benefits.
00:26:42.000He even said, I can't believe I'm going to have to try a case like this.
00:26:45.000So to say it's not politically motivated, I mean, you have to be living in some kind of, you know, fictional reality to say the real purpose is not to just mar the name of the Trumps.
00:26:57.000And again, our position is not that someone didn't do something wrong.
00:27:01.000Go show me a businessman in New York City that has run any one of these real estate empires, any one of these guys, and we're pointing at buildings, any one of them.
00:27:09.000And I want you to go through their books for two years.
00:27:11.000I want you to go through their expense reimbursements.
00:27:14.000And you're trying to tell me you're not going to have maybe some potential like, oh, sorry, I should remedy this.
00:27:20.000And by the way, isn't there a standard of if a CPA or something signs off on this, isn't the liability on them?
00:27:28.000I mean, yeah, that's a good point, Charlie, because as an attorney, you know, we sign contracts with people that say, hey, we're going to do this kind of work for you, but you can never sign away liability for legal analysis that you do.
00:27:50.000Especially if you go, if you do a specific chart of accounts type situation, and maybe that wasn't a circumstance here.
00:27:59.000And just I'm just perplexed by this, David.
00:28:01.000This is really bad for our country, not just because of the Trump thing, and it's a distraction and all the obvious things.
00:28:07.000But do you know what this is telling our listeners right now in Riverside, California that like President Trump?
00:28:12.000What this is telling them, or maybe it's our listeners in Atlanta or in Dallas, or they're watching on Rumble, like, hold on a second.
00:28:18.000So you're trying to tell me that Hunter Biden can do what we know he did and he can just continue to sell paintings for half a million dollars to continue to bring money to the Biden crime family, that you're trying to tell me that Eric Swalwell can sleep with a Chinese spy, that Hillary Clinton can bash and smash devices, that Hunter Biden can get on Air Force 2 and fly to Joe Biden.
00:28:40.000Now, if the standard is that if you're close to power, no one gets indicted unless you murder someone, I don't like that, but at least you're consistent, right?
00:28:48.000If that's kind of like in the unspoken rule, right?
00:28:51.000Like the FBI guidelines, like we're not going to go after you because we don't want to seem political, fine, okay.
00:28:56.000But if you're going to go after now Donald Trump's Trump organization, on the way you're describing it is like, oh, he had a car or used an apartment, had tuition payments.
00:29:04.000These are always remedied in civil type penalties.
00:29:09.000Yeah, I mean, isn't it exactly reminiscent of the Dinesh D'Souza Twitch hunt?
00:29:14.000And how is it that a normal person in our country doesn't say, not only is the mainstream left, not only is the media left, but our entire prosecutorial system is raging towards the left?
00:29:30.000It's terrifying for any normal conservative in a city like New York, like me and my friends here in New York City to say they're spending years to find minute charges against people that they just don't like ideologically.
00:29:42.000Well, and meanwhile, crime in New York City is up 30.4% in April 2021.
00:29:47.000Police say the greatest increase in crime came from shootings, as I say, up 166%.
00:29:53.000Police also noted that grand larceny was up 66%.
00:29:56.000Felony assaults were up by 35.6% and robberies increased by 28.6%.
00:30:01.000Well, maybe instead of going through the receipts of a former president and just maybe you should just hand it off to the tax division and say, just make them pay a fine.
00:30:11.000Instead, the priority number one of the Manhattan District Attorney is not whether or not cocaine is coming through the tunnel or whether heroin is coming to the Upper West Side or whether guns are being smuggled through Midtown.
00:30:22.000No, it's whether or not the former president paid his taxes.
00:31:01.000Crime is going up all over the place in New York City.
00:31:03.000We are seeing this once great city become something dystopian and unrecognizable.
00:31:09.000We were kind of going back and forth, what is it going to take for just people that might be on the center left to say, this is not okay, but this is an abuse of power.
00:31:18.000Or is it this kind of authoritarian moment where people are saying, well, I don't mind authoritarianism because I'm a member of the party.
00:31:25.000Yeah, I mean, I think you have that from certainly a majority perspective here in the city, obviously, massively left-leaning city.
00:31:31.000But, you know, I was thinking, Charlie, about this idea of a peace officer and how police used to be seen as peace officers.
00:31:38.000And you need peace when there's chaos in the streets.
00:31:41.000But when you have a Giuliani that comes in and brings law and orders and loves the cops and the cops are honored and you have peace in the city, you forget that the job of prosecutors, that the job of the police force, that the job of the executive branch is to make sure you have peace in your city.
00:31:57.000And when there's peace in the city in a generic way, people are like, oh, I don't care if the AG spends millions of dollars on a witch hunt against the Trump organization.
00:32:28.000You can't function like a normal human being if you're going to be stabbed with a screwdriver on the subway, which happened a couple of months ago here in New York City.
00:33:42.000We're going to put these people around you in prison.
00:33:44.000And you've talked about this quite a bit, Charlie, that the left is far, far more aggressive than the right in the United States with law, with policy, with politically affirmative action in their positions of authority.
00:33:57.000Like, what is what are the right doing?
00:33:59.000And where do you see, conversely, the right going after, you know, the Obamas or nothing at all?
00:34:06.000And we have a conservative class in the United States that just has kind of rolled over and allowed people like the AG of New York State to spend millions of dollars without doing anything about it.
00:34:19.000We have a, there's a cause of action called malicious prosecution that if the prosecution ends up being wrong and being, you know, he gets off, it's all false.
00:34:29.000We don't know because we haven't seen the charges.
00:34:32.000I mean, that's the way it's kangaroo court.
00:34:33.000Well, and they don't usually go to trial if they have zero evidence.
00:34:36.000They'll have some kind of evidence and then a malicious prosecution charge will be hard to do.
00:34:40.000But why don't we have a conservative outrage, especially in New York State that's been saying, you guys have spent two years on this investigation and have almost nothing.
00:35:12.000I wish we all wanted the same thing and we could unify and have this wonderful, terrific moment.
00:35:18.000Instead, they have made Trump spend millions of dollars just to try to put him in a prison cell when he's golfing at Mar-a-Lago or at Bedminster while the city falls into disarray.
00:35:30.000And this was something that, again, goes back to Orwell.
