00:00:00.000Hey everybody, Canada has officially become a third world fascist dictatorship.
00:00:04.000And we also have Drew Hernandez from frontlines at tpusa.com to unpack the power of citizen journalism.
00:00:13.000What's happening in Canada is a dress rehearsal for what's about to happen here in America.
00:00:17.000If you want to email me, you could do so freedom at charliekirk.com to email me directly.
00:00:21.000If you want to support our show, go to charliekirk.com/slash support to get behind the work we are doing.
00:00:27.000If you want to get involved with Turning PointUSA, go to tpusa.com where we play offense with a sense of urgency to win the American Culture War.
00:01:01.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:16.000Now, what's amazing, and I'm still trying to make sense of this, is do the people of Canada support this?
00:02:26.000Well, first, we know that American Democrats totally do support this from the post-millennial.
00:02:32.000A recent poll revealed that a majority of American Democrats approve of the Canadian prime minister's crackdown on the freedom protesters in Ottawa after he invoked the Emergencies Act last week.
00:02:46.000In a poll conducted by Trafalgar and the Convention of States action obtained by the Daily Wire, it revealed that 55% of likely general election voters overall disapprove of Troto's Trudeau's handling.
00:02:57.000However, Democrat voters, 65% of them, favor Trudeau's crackdown on the protesters.
00:03:05.000Of course, Republicans, 87%, say they disapprove of such measures.
00:03:12.000Now, whether or not we know American Democrats support it, but do Canadians support it?
00:03:20.000Well, it sees that 66%, according to Morrow Public Opinion, of Canadians support Prime Minister Justin Trudeau bringing in the Emergencies Act.
00:03:30.000A majority, 56% of Canadians, do not support the truckers who are protesting in any way, shape, or form.
00:03:37.000This is a majority view held in every province, region, across the country.
00:03:43.000Now, most people in America have no idea what's actually happening in Canada.
00:03:46.000I talked to some people that are kind of moderate to the left the other day, and I said, you know, what's amazing is happening in Canada.
00:03:56.000They said, yeah, what's happening in Canada?
00:03:58.000Zero knowledge at all whatsoever, had no understanding or awareness of anything happening in Canada.
00:04:06.000So, for those of you that might not have seen the coverage this weekend, Trudeau basically declared martial law.
00:04:14.000He brought the military in the streets of Ottawa and went block by block, street by street, and the police willingly and in some cases enthusiastically followed the orders of Justin Trudeau.
00:04:26.000And I just want to give a little warning here, which is we support the police 100% in America, but we will stop supporting the police at a moment's notice if they just follow orders the way the Canadian police did.
00:04:57.000But for every police officer out there, I hope you're listening very carefully and I hope you're doing some reflection.
00:05:03.000Hope you're doing some prayer and some meditation and rumination on this.
00:05:08.000Would you march the streets of Ottawa and arrest peaceful protesters and knee them in the rib and take them out of trucks and arrest them forcefully and trample them like they did?
00:05:25.000What's happening in Ottawa is far more instructive to the future of America than what's happening in Kiev or whatever is happening in Ukraine.
00:05:44.000And there's many components of this because it's both what is happening with the force of the police and also the extra judicial measures that Canada has been willing to implement, such as seizure of bank accounts, the capturing of crypto asset Bitcoin wallets, the multiple different ways that they are beginning a crackdown against dissidents.
00:06:16.000And something very important to remember.
00:06:19.000Totalitarians and that idea of totalitarianism is a 20th century wrinkle in some ways.
00:06:26.000We had dictators prior to the 20th century, but C.S. Lewis, Winston Churchill, Elvis Huxley, George Orwell, and Arthur Kessler, the big five that we talk about, Darkness at Noon, Screwtape Letters, 1984,
00:06:43.000Brave New World, and the writings of Churchill, all five of them, and they were all contemporaries, they knew each other, all five of those authors in the 1940s and 1950s, they really developed in a deep and thoughtful way this idea of totalitarianism, which is more than a dictatorship, which is one man making a decision.
00:07:05.000But totalitarianism is all-encompassing, total.
00:07:26.000As it famously says in 1984 by Orwell, the best way to keep a secret from Big Brother is to first keep the secret from yourself.
00:07:36.000So what's happening in Canada, you could call it a canary in the coal mine.
00:07:39.000You can call it a harbinger, a thing to come.
00:07:42.000But I hope every American freedom lover, regardless of your political party, is studying it carefully and then making moves appropriately because it's going to come here next.
00:07:53.000The people of Canada overwhelmingly support it.
00:07:55.000That's what everyone is, that's what the polls are showing.
00:07:58.000I don't know if I believe that or not, but let's say it's 50% of people in Canada support it.
00:08:05.000They're not a liberty-loving people like we are in America.
00:08:10.000But the point is that Trudeau had power and he was willing to use it.
00:08:16.000Now, orders are only as good as the people who execute them.
00:08:24.000Orders are only as good as the shock troopers that hear the order and then do it.
00:08:30.000And so for American National Guardsmen, American police officers, this needs to be a time of reflection that when it comes here, when it comes to our shores, whose side will you be on?
00:08:50.000We already know in New York City, the wonderful New York Police Department, who we totally support, they're arresting nine-year-olds for not having vaccine paperwork at museums.
00:09:26.000You pledge an oath to the Constitution.
00:09:30.000And if the leaders feel as if their orders are not going to be followed through by police officers or by National Guardsmen, then all of a sudden they might not make them in the first place.
00:09:42.000And what's happening in Ottawa is some of the shock troopers, not all, that are doing this in the streets of Ottawa, dragging people through the streets, throwing people down in the snow, seizing property, no bail, no chance of getting out of jail for the foreseeable future.
00:09:56.000Huh, I wonder where we've seen that before, like the January 6th protesters that are in solitary confinement, the political prisoners.
00:10:02.000Those police officers that are doing that, many of them are bragging on social media and having the time of their lives.
00:10:13.000Look, meat is hard to come by right now, and you might get meat from overseas.
00:10:17.000And look, 85% of grass-fed beef in stores and online is imported.
00:10:21.000Don't pay a premium for low-quality foreign meat.
00:10:24.000So look, when the box of good ranchers comes to our office, it's a feeding frenzy.
00:10:28.000Producer Connor, he gets his elbows out.
00:10:30.000He gets people, so get out of the way, is what Producer Connor says.
00:10:32.000He gets the fresh cuts, 100% American meat, T-bones, New York strips, ribeyes.
00:10:37.000In fact, Producer Connor was doing an Instagram live stream, and he was grilling T-bones, New York strips, and all sorts of different types of things.
00:10:45.000Producer Andrew fed his entire family with good ranchers and it actually mended fences.
00:10:50.000It was people in his family that otherwise would have been very politically divided.
00:11:58.000Trudeau says the MPs who vote against the Emergency Act indicate that, quote, they don't trust the government to make incredibly momentous and important decisions.
00:12:06.000Obviously, they don't trust the government, but the fact that they say that out loud and it's some sort of insult in Canada shows the different philosophy governing a country like Canada versus America.
00:12:17.000In America, not trusting the government is a huge part of one of our major political parties.
00:12:23.000We are naturally skeptical of centralized power, and you should be.
00:12:27.000If you are embracing a centralized power, you hate history.
00:12:33.000You either hate it or you are ignorant.
00:12:43.000The big UN, the big WHO, big China, big pharma, big Hollywood, big government, the big IRS, play cut 20.
00:12:55.000I can't imagine that anyone who votes no tonight is doing anything other than indicating that they don't trust the government to make incredibly momentous and important decisions.
00:13:13.000But like I said, I am confident that the majority of parliamentarians will stand up to support our values, to stand up to support our democracy.
00:13:25.000A majority of the MPs gave Trudeau the emergency acts power, martial law, because a bunch of people went to Ottawa peacefully, had a block party, and a bouncy castle and honked their horns.
00:13:43.000That is worth signing the emergency act as if they're being invaded, as if there was some sort of ISIS insurgency.
00:13:51.000Now, I want to use this moment to give a little fair warning.
00:13:55.000There is a trucker American convoy that is starting up.
00:13:59.000There's two of them, and I think they'll meet up at some point.
00:14:02.000I am fully, completely, and enthusiastically in support of an American freedom convoy.
00:14:10.000However, and listen carefully, the United States government, the regime, remember the regime is bigger than the government.
00:14:19.000Regime is a blanket term we use on this program that incorporates Hollywood, Silicon Valley, celebrities, banking titans, World Health Organization, unelected bureaucrats, and of course the government.
00:14:37.000The regime is already working to kill the convoy before it starts.
00:14:42.000The federal government and the regime has perfected the extra judicial powers, and they've done it in many different ways, like against WikiLeaks over a decade ago, when they weren't able to get a judge or a grand jury to agree Julian Assange had committed a crime.
00:15:06.000They'll infiltrate this convoy with federal agents.
00:15:10.000They'll criminalize the protesters as part of the American Freedom Convoy by labeling them domestic violent extremists, DVEs, and they'll try to instigate violence when none is present.
00:15:22.000There is a cancer in America, and it's not Trump supporters.
00:15:26.000It's the corrupt fourth estate regime.
00:15:30.000And this is going to happen in the next couple weeks.
00:15:32.000So you're going to see an American Trucker Freedom Convoy.
00:15:36.000And I want every trucker who participates, and again, I enthusiastically support this to know the moment that you cross into the Eastern time zone and the closer you get to D.C., you must be willing to go to jail for the rest of your life despite doing nothing wrong, having no money, no job, no insurance, and be tarred and feathered as a terrorist for the rest of your life.
00:16:00.000Now, I know a lot of us want to see the convoy build, and you say, Charlie, why are you trying to scare them?
00:16:25.000Now, if they try to blockade D.C., they're going to do what Trudeau did, but they're going to do it, I think, even more.
00:16:33.000They're going to bring in the National Guard.
00:16:35.000And so that goes back to my warning: police officers and National Guard, are you willing to execute the orders against your own citizens as you watch what happened in Canada?
00:17:27.000You know, these people that know a lot about cars, they're selling me all sorts of weird and wacky things.
00:17:32.000They're like, you need a flagpole and you need a Wilson wire and you need a Hamilton bar and all this different sorts of stuff never heard of.
00:17:40.000I said, okay, sure, here's the credit card.
00:17:42.000Next thing you know, it's thousands of dollars later and I've been ripped off.
00:17:46.000Well, look, you have computers, so you can access rockauto.com at home and in your pocket.
00:17:50.000So you should repair and maintain your cars.
00:17:52.000It's a way to save money and you can use them for other important things like mortgages and food.
00:18:00.000Their prices are reliably low at rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear like airlines do.
00:18:08.000Rockauto.com is a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
00:18:14.000Go to rockauto.com The shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
00:18:18.000Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are reliably low.
00:18:21.000Go to rockauto.com right now to see all the parts available for your car or truck.
00:18:25.000We're at Charlie Kirk and the how did you hear about us?
00:18:37.000Someone just sent me a phenomenal note.
00:18:39.000They said the trucker convoy should avoid Washington, D.C., and instead go to Republican offices of governors and senators across the country.
00:18:50.000And for example, go to Utah, go to North Carolina, go to Oklahoma, and go to South Carolina and ask, hey, why were you in Munich worrying about Ukraine when the vaccine mandate vote was up in the Senate?
00:20:01.000So tell us a little bit, Drew, about some of the philosophy you're going to bring by going to the front lines and reporting what's actually happening when news unfolds.
00:20:11.000Yeah, so this is what has become like a lost art.
00:20:15.000You know, with our new show, I'll be hosting five days a week, and I have an entire network of on-the-ground reporters that I've been in contact with for the past few years, even right now, with some upcoming episodes on Frontlines.
00:20:27.000Today we got Kyle Rittenhouse, but tomorrow we have the on-the-ground journalists in Ottawa right now.
00:20:32.000They're going to come on live tomorrow and give us updates of what is actually taking place on the ground in Canada.
00:20:39.000Alex, the woman that was assaulted by police officers the other day, some post-millennial journalists that are on the ground, Rebel News, they're doing an amazing job.
00:20:48.000So the reason why this is important, Charlie, is, I mean, my experience being on the ground, the 2020 riots and 2021, just covering protests and stuff like that, is, you know, when we're dealing with fake news, right?
00:21:00.000When we're dealing with these, I call them fake news media cartels.
00:21:05.000They are an establishment that has the same message when they're slandering and targeting their political opponents.
00:21:12.000The only way to really combat that is to have people that are involved with these stories that are taking place, especially when there's things unfolding on the ground.
00:21:21.000So the philosophy behind what frontlines is actually going to be is a continuation of what I've already been doing.
00:21:28.000And that's having people on the ground being at these places because it's really hard to lie when you have video evidence.
00:21:46.000And you know this, Charlie, even though you're literally watching something in real time happen, they still come and they slander and they lie and they propagate.
00:21:54.000But I mean, that doesn't mean we stopped trying.
00:21:56.000Yeah, it was a fiery but mostly peaceful protest in Kenosha, right?
00:22:01.000While the building is burning behind that guy and he has like the goggles, you know, on his hat, on his forehead.
00:22:07.000Yeah, it's fiery, but mostly peaceful.
00:22:32.000When you have the federal government, you have the government at large that is literally and specifically targeting political dissent, targeting political opponents and silencing them, especially the media.
00:22:45.000We know that aspects of the government, they're in cahoots with each other, especially here in the United States.
00:22:50.000CNN is obviously in cahoots with the Democrat, with the left and the far left.
00:22:54.000But what we have to understand is when you see a totalitarian government not only control its media, but silence any opposition, that's serious, dangerous territory.
00:23:05.000And that is exactly where Canada is right now.
00:23:08.000Rebel news journalists have been specifically being targeted on the ground while they were at the protests in Ottawa.
00:23:15.000They were reporting this in real time when the police began to move in and clear the streets of the truckers.
00:23:20.000Some of the journalists on the ground were messaging me telling me, hey, these police, I don't even think they're police officers, Charlie.
00:23:27.000These are like stormtroopers, like UN shipped in people that are just there to like control the police state, right?
00:23:46.000But, you know, so what I'm saying is when you have the media being specifically targeted, they've been messaging me saying, Drew, Alex, she was on Tucker.
00:23:56.000She was specifically shot with a less lethal munition by a stormtrooper and all these other journalists that are walking around just filming, even citizens.
00:24:05.000I mean, the viral video that went out the other day of this citizen walking down the street in Ottawa trying to get a coffee and she's filling the cops and they get in her face like a gang of thugs.
00:24:33.000They don't want the world to see what's really happening.
00:24:36.000They don't want their own people to see what's happening.
00:24:39.000That's the sinister part, Charlie, is not only do they not want the world seeing what's taking place and their crimes against humanity, they don't want people in Canada to see how violent they've been getting.
00:24:49.000Like literally kneeing truckers, the guy that was on Tucker last night that was literally beaten by these stormtroopers, knead multiple times when he got out of his truck, literally put his hands behind his head peacefully, basically surrendered, but they still took him aside because those stormtroopers didn't know there were cameras watching, but there were.
00:25:08.000That's exactly what they don't want the world to see and their own people to see, that they are really violent, tyrannical psychopaths.
00:25:16.000And so this is part of the new terrain in the new war, right?
00:25:20.000Because corporate media, even the allegedly conservative corporate media, they're not getting out in the streets, right?
00:25:27.000So we all have these supercomputers in our right-hand pocket, our phones, and very few people actually decide to use them.
00:25:34.000When you think, it's actually what I mean by use them is to film what's actually happening in real time.
00:25:40.000Talk about, Drew, how you are going to be trying to empower a new generation of citizen journalists to try to get into the incidents that are happening.
00:25:50.000I mean, let's just talk about, you know, the race riots you covered.
00:25:53.000You really helped a lot get the truth out with Kyle Rittenhouse and praise God for that.
00:26:02.000A lot of the civilization, the civilizational turning events, Drew, are happening not in cigar-filled rooms or kind of these backdoor deals.
00:26:16.000They're happening in the streets where citizen journalists could expose what's really going on.
00:26:31.000But I say that because I think my involvement with journalism and I think my involvement with on the ground reporting has been like this reformation.
00:26:40.000And when you're experiencing a reformation, when you're experiencing something like that, you're basically going back to the basics.
00:26:47.000You're going back to what it once was.
00:26:49.000You're going back to what the core doctrine of what something once used to be, departing from where it's at now.
00:26:57.000And that's what I chose to do with my own personal career.
00:27:00.000And I think that's kind of what it's become.
00:27:03.000And I want to encourage people because, listen, I'm a nobody, Charlie.
00:27:06.000I didn't go, you know, to university or college to be a journalist.
00:28:28.000We want to know the truth because that is what is going to genuinely lead a human being to make their own autonomous, independent decisions.
00:28:37.000We have lost that, Charlie, in the media.
00:28:40.000We have lost that completely and people want that back.
00:28:43.000People desperately want that back because the news isn't a bad thing.
00:29:07.000The way the great reset will be stopped is with thousands of patriots filming what's happening around them and willing to go into the streets to tell the story and then expose it to millions.
00:29:20.000And so Drew Hernandez with Frontlines with TPUSA, Turning Point USA.
00:29:24.000You guys can find the show at tpusa.com.
00:29:27.000Drew, congratulations on the new show.
00:29:29.000Congratulations on having Kyle Rittenhouse on your program to kick it off.
00:29:33.000And if there is an event that's happening of consequence, a civilizational turning event, Drew Hernandez will be there with Turning Point USA.
00:29:48.000With all the noise surrounding the topics of money and the economy, today more than ever before, you need a financial guide that you can trust.
00:29:57.000That's why I trust PAC's financial group.
00:29:59.000Not only do they share my conservative values, they are committed to putting your interests ahead of their own.
00:30:05.000Big Wall Street firms are forcing their political agendas into your investments.
00:30:09.000And it's time to stop giving your money to companies that don't share your values or use their profits, my profits, as a way to silence Christians.
00:30:18.000PAX is proud to offer an alternative called BRIs, Biblical Responsible Investing.
00:30:25.000Look, I got to know the people behind PAX Financial at a pro-life dinner in San Antonio.
00:30:32.000I got to know them, and they told me about biblical responsible investing.
00:30:34.000And at first, I wasn't really sure what to make of it.
00:30:37.000But as I got to know the team behind PAX Financial, we agreed to partner with them here on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:30:43.000Biblical Responsible Investing supports and promotes our values of being pro-family and pro-life and screens out companies that support pornography or anti-Christian or anti-conservative.
00:30:55.000If you have $150,000 or more in investments, text them, Charlie, at number 74868.
00:31:02.000Text them, just Charlie, right now to number 74868.
00:31:07.000They'll be able to schedule a 15-minute free no-obligation consultation.
00:31:11.000I'm moving some of my money over to PAX Financial.
00:31:14.000And honestly, I hope they do well with it with some of the returns.
00:31:17.000But I'm happy that part of my portfolio will be able to go towards biblical responsible investing.
00:31:24.000I think they're going to crush it for me in the market, but I'll be able to know that my hard-earned dollars are not going towards pornography, anti-Christian, pro-BLM nonsense.
00:31:34.000You'll be connected with a financial advisor who will walk this through with you.
00:32:51.000Keep Novak Zojkovich out of your country.
00:32:53.000So lockdowns, one of the reasons why lockdowns continue to happen in California as kids wear masks, but celebrities don't.
00:33:02.000And lockdowns happened is because the rich were largely unaffected by them.
00:33:08.000In fact, the rich actually kind of liked them.
00:33:11.000The rich were, they got to be wealthier than ever.
00:33:15.000Their stock market portfolio exploded because of the crony capitalist stimulus, quote-unquote, bailout packages that were passed.
00:33:24.000Lockdowns were power gifts to people that otherwise would never have had these kind of emergency powers to tell you how you could worship, how you could travel, how you could eat.
00:33:35.000All these sorts of things were powers that they never thought they would even get their hands on.
00:33:40.000But I believe we're going to see another lockdown, not necessarily the next couple months, next couple years, but maybe under a different topic.
00:33:48.000What's to say they will not try to lock down only a day a week, okay, everybody, for climate change.
00:33:55.000Who's to say they won't try to lock down for carbon emissions?
00:34:00.000Was all of this just a dry run to try to get us used to being completely and totally locked down?
00:34:08.000Now, when Canadians started to fight back against this, well, liberal Canadian MPs said that Hong Kong is code for Heil Hitler.
00:34:15.000They have to get new material, honestly.
00:34:17.000Everything goes back to the 1930s and 40s.
00:34:19.000There's other parts of history that you guys can relate to.
00:34:22.000Just maybe like take a day off from it.
00:34:31.000How much vitriol do we have to see of Hong Kong, which is an acronym for Hail Hitler?
00:34:38.000Do we need to see by these protesters on social media?
00:34:43.000Now, what's interesting is now that Trudeau has effectively cleaned up the streets of Ottawa, he says, look, but the state of emergency, it's not over.
