00:00:26.000 Hey everybody, today the Charlie Kirk show, is any amendment absolute?
00:00:30.000 What did you think of Senator Tim Scott's remarks?
00:00:32.000 Because the way the left has been treating him is reprehensible and awful against a good man.
00:00:38.000 Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:41.000 We have some instant response.
00:00:43.000 We dive into a lot of different topics here as we continue to unpack the Joe Biden address to Congress.
00:00:50.000 And just one quick number that came out right after we got done recording.
00:00:55.000 Donald Trump had 48 million people in 2017 watch his speech.
00:01:00.000 In 2018, 46 million.
00:01:02.000 In 2019, 46 million.
00:01:04.000 In 2020, 37 million.
00:01:07.000 Joe Biden, 11.6 million.
00:01:10.000 There's something to that.
00:01:11.000 Again, send us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:01:14.000 Buckle up, everybody, here.
00:01:16.000 We go.
00:01:16.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:18.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:20.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:24.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:27.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:28.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:29.000 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.
00:01:37.000 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.
00:01:46.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:48.000 So last evening, I did a live stream and a podcast, and I encourage all of you guys to check out our podcast on your podcast app, Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:57.000 And my immediate response during Senator Tim Scott's speech was not necessarily negative, but I want more. 0.54
00:02:04.000 I want more from the Republican Party in regards to holding China accountable for the origination of the virus of a self-sufficiency agenda.
00:02:12.000 With that being said, I think Senator Tim Scott has a lot of talent.
00:02:15.000 I'm glad he's in the Republican Party.
00:02:17.000 And there are some parts I thought that were very powerful.
00:02:20.000 And feedback that I've received from a lot of you is a lot of people love Senator Tim Scott's speech.
00:02:25.000 Where I'm at, and as I see what the left is really doing to our country as they are on the move, I want a Republican Party who is willing to have a call to action for a counteroffensive legislatively, politically, and otherwise, from a communication strategy against what Joe Biden and the Democrats are doing to our country.
00:02:45.000 And so Senator Tim Scott, who has a terrific story, has come under massive attack from the American left. 0.99
00:02:55.000 You see, there's one thing you are not allowed to be in America, especially, which is a black conservative. 1.00
00:03:03.000 You are not allowed to be a black conservative. 1.00
00:03:06.000 Now, I personally did not love the overtures to try and even accept the premise of the left that we need a national police bill. 1.00
00:03:18.000 I don't love the fact that Senator Tim Scott feels the need to have to compensate for something that doesn't exist.
00:03:26.000 However, the way that he has been treated by the American left actually might disprove one of his statements last night.
00:03:38.000 I say this somewhat sarcastically, but Senator Tim Scott said, America's not a racist country.
00:03:45.000 I agree.
00:03:46.000 But if there were any racists, they'd be in the Democrat Party in their reaction to Senator Tim Scott.
00:03:52.000 It's reprehensible, disgusting responses on Twitter, social media, and television.
00:03:59.000 Let's listen to Joy Reed, who is the bigot herself, cut 109.
00:04:05.000 I was surprised, to be honest with you.
00:04:07.000 This was standard Republican pabulum.
00:04:10.000 This could have been delivered by Tom Cotton or Mike Lee.
00:04:13.000 America's not a racist country.
00:04:15.000 There's no racism here.
00:04:16.000 I'm not sure what the purpose of this was.
00:04:19.000 His audience to me appeared to be conservative white Republicans who were angry over certain things of cancel culture and the same sort of cultural nods that we hear on Fox News.
00:04:32.000 And he was out here to throw them a lifeline.
00:04:36.000 It was disappointing.
00:04:37.000 And Glenn Kessler, who is a reporter for the Washington Post, said an extensive piece saying that Tim Scott often talks about his grandfather in cotton.
00:04:48.000 There's more to that tale.
00:04:49.000 An expose saying that, ah, Senator Tim Scott really hasn't had to pull himself up by the bootstraps.
00:04:57.000 So there's a long story in the Washington Post saying that Senator Tim Scott actually had more privilege than he ever leads on.
00:05:06.000 You see, Senator Tim Scott in a lot of different ways is a threat to the American left.
00:05:12.000 Now, with that being said, I stand by my comments that I made initially.
00:05:17.000 Senator Tim Scott, who was going to receive backlash and hatred no matter what he said, he should have been much more aggressive against the Democrat Party.
00:05:27.000 He should have said it was the Democrat Party that is preventing black and Hispanic children from going to school.
00:05:34.000 Instead of saying common ground, Senator Tim Scott should say, you know what?
00:05:38.000 I want to say we should find common ground, but I'll find common ground as soon as we can find common morals and values.
00:05:46.000 And we don't have that right now at the Democrat Party.
00:05:48.000 You know, a good friend of mine from Chicago, he sent me this morning, this this morning.
00:05:52.000 I thought it was so wise.
00:05:55.000 He said, this is a political knife fight, not a debating society.
00:06:01.000 I think that's perfectly put. 0.91
00:06:05.000 And so the way that the media and the left has responded, they have trending on Twitter, Uncle Tim, which is a play obviously of Uncle Tom, which is an idea of a race traitor, a black person who was betrayed, betrayed the black community for racist southern whites.
00:06:32.000 There was one take in particular by one of these guys that goes on television.
00:06:36.000 I think he's a professor.
00:06:39.000 I've actually met him before.
00:06:42.000 He's a professor from trying to see which one it was.
00:06:47.000 And by the way, the whole crazy thing is that Uncle Tom was actually the hero of that story, which no one ever actually realizes and was the protagonist.
00:06:54.000 But it does come under that story, but that's a detail that they don't actually like.
00:06:59.000 By the way, a great film that you guys can find on salemnow.com is Uncle Tom.
00:07:05.000 Larry Elder did a really great job.
00:07:09.000 There's another reaction here I want to get to from this professor.
00:07:13.000 Let me see if I can find this here.
00:07:16.000 Where he said that his ancestors are ashamed of him.
00:07:23.000 Yeah, this is it right here. 0.99
00:07:24.000 Jason Nichols, a black guy who goes on television, says Tim Scott is a clown and his ancestors are ashamed of him. 0.96
00:07:34.000 A white man by the name of Scott Nevins said Senator Tim Scott is uncle Tomming it for his life. 0.98
00:07:40.000 So sad, South Carolina should be so ashamed. 0.90
00:07:45.000 And then Leslie Mack, who's a black woman on Twitter, has a picture of a raccoon. 0.64
00:07:52.000 And it says, live look at Tim Scott prepping for this response earlier today.
00:08:01.000 The reaction from white liberals, Cheryl Dunn, says, Hi, Uncle Tim.
00:08:07.000 How does it feel to spread disinformation and be a traitor to your race and to your country?
00:08:14.000 There's hundreds of these examples. 0.98
00:08:16.000 Reprehensible, disgusting. 0.88
00:08:19.000 So, my question then, Senator Tim Scott: why are you trying to have overtures of common ground for the people that are calling you a race traitor? 0.71
00:08:27.000 What common ground do we have for these people, this guy that is a full-time lecturer, a professor in black studies at the University of Maryland College Park?
00:08:38.000 And he's the one that calls you a race traitor.
00:08:45.000 So, I guess this opens up a variety of different questions, which is what should the correct Republican response be?
00:08:52.000 I think it should be a solution-oriented response.
00:08:56.000 I actually would have liked to see the Republicans' response call Joe Biden on his own bluff on a couple different things.
00:09:04.000 Number one, foreign wars.
00:09:06.000 Say, you know what, Joe Biden, we think it's a good thing you're ending the war in Afghanistan.
00:09:11.000 Why didn't you thank Donald Trump for that?
00:09:13.000 That Donald Trump was the one that began brokering that peace.
00:09:16.000 Number two, instead of giving Congress the credit for Operation Warp Speed, which is what Senator Tim Scott did, why didn't he give any credit to the administration that actually facilitated that?
00:09:28.000 Not one mention of Donald Trump in Senator Tim Scott's remarks.
00:09:31.000 That was intentional, by the way.
00:09:33.000 It was intentional.
00:09:34.000 They're trying to delete him from political history.
00:09:38.000 Number three, they should have called Joe Biden's bluff and say, look, we're not willing to go spend $6 trillion, but why don't we start with $100 billion targeted for a self-sufficiency agenda?
00:09:50.000 That we want to make stuff in our country again with our hands.
00:09:53.000 The muscular class, the people that lift boxes and put together automobiles and assemble our products, they need help and support a lot more than the Zoom and Skype and tech class.
00:10:08.000 You see, that's what playing offense looks like.
00:10:11.000 Now, some people are reacting very favorably, though, to Senator Tim Scott, because I think they yearn for a politic of decency.
00:10:19.000 I do too.
00:10:20.000 I want that.
00:10:22.000 I'd love to be able to get coffee with liberals, joke around about the weather, and have wonderful, long-form discussions and leave as friends.
00:10:34.000 But when you have a president that is embracing HR1, HR5, not denouncing court packing, not mentioning the southern border crisis, and possibly D.C. as an addition of a state, and we're talking about common values.
00:10:50.000 I say timeout here.
00:10:53.000 We don't have common ground here.
00:10:56.000 And so Ronald Reagan, I think, is the most instructive lesson here.
00:11:01.000 Ronald Reagan was able to find common ground against Tip O'Neill because he had the people on his side.
00:11:07.000 You see, Tip O'Neill found common ground on the Reagan agenda.
00:11:12.000 Tip O'Neill, a Massachusetts Boston Democrat, moved in the direction of the grassroots.
00:11:19.000 Bill Clinton moved in the direction of Newt Gingrich because of the direction of the grassroots.
00:11:24.000 When the Republican Party is clear for what it stands for and why it stands for that, there will be a political reward.
00:11:35.000 I want to get to some more cut here.
00:11:37.000 Let's go to Cut 116, CNN Gloria Borger saying, Tim Scott, saying that the tide has turned the pandemic, saying getting vaccines into arms was a Biden operation, cut 116.
00:11:47.000 He said the tide had already turned on COVID-19 when Biden became president.
00:11:55.000 And of course, everybody understands that Operation Warp Speed happened under Joe Biden, but getting vaccines into arms was a Biden operation.
00:12:06.000 I'm not even sure what her point is here.
00:12:08.000 It was Donald Trump and his presidency that was overseeing Operation Warp Speed.
00:12:14.000 And Joe Biden literally got vaccinated while Donald Trump was president.
00:12:22.000 Let's go to another cut here.
00:12:25.000 Let's go to...
00:12:29.000 I do want to play some cut here of Joe Biden actually speaking.
00:12:33.000 We're going to do that throughout.
00:12:36.000 Let's go to this cut here, cut 115 of how the media is fawning over Joe Biden's speech, cut 115.
00:12:44.000 Visually, there will be two women behind the president during the speech, the vice president and the house speaker.
00:12:50.000 That's a first. 0.53
00:12:51.000 Want to see history tonight?
00:12:52.000 Just look behind the president during his big speech. 1.00
00:12:54.000 Woman of color and a woman speaker. 0.85
00:12:56.000 It kind of happened kind of without comment.
00:12:58.000 It's weird how it's just happened, and it's not controversial or remarkable anymore.
00:13:03.000 It's pretty exciting, and it's all wonderful to make history.
00:13:07.000 It's about time.
00:13:09.000 So rather hyped up.
00:13:11.000 And so I suppose we need to ask ourselves, what is their end game?
00:13:21.000 And what should the proper response be?
00:13:22.000 And how do we activate the grassroots?
00:13:26.000 What should our agenda in response to this be?
00:13:30.000 Wall Street Journal says Biden urges broad economic plan.
00:13:33.000 That's an understatement.
00:13:35.000 The New York Times has a pie chart, which of course they've been working on for quite some time.
00:13:43.000 And it says this, quote, Biden seeks shift in how the nation serves its people.
00:13:49.000 What's wrong with that?
00:13:51.000 Well, I'm going to philosophically deconstruct that.
00:13:54.000 But understand the Democrats have a short window to win this political war because they know they're going to lose the House in 2022.
00:14:06.000 And that is the fear that drives their political motivation.
00:14:13.000 Look, for many of you that watch our live stream or our radio show, listen to our radio show, you know I talk about Relief Factor a lot.
00:14:20.000 And look, truth is, I know millions of people are in some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older, that can do it.
00:14:26.000 That's why I'm so impressed with Pete and Seth Talbot.
00:14:28.000 They are on a mission.
00:14:29.000 You've rarely seen this kind of focus and commitment.
00:14:32.000 Seriously, they recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their number of total happy customers in the next year.
00:14:39.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:14:40.000 So here's the deal.
00:14:41.000 If you're struggling with back, neck, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, or even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted only $19.95, about a dollar a day to see if we can get you out of pain.
00:14:52.000 So go to relieffactor.com.
00:14:53.000 That's relieffactor.com.
00:14:54.000 The Talbots are amazing people.
00:14:56.000 Check it out.
00:14:56.000 ReliefFactor.com.
00:15:00.000 Let's play some of that.
00:15:01.000 Cut 101.
00:15:02.000 Republicans made a big mistake.
00:15:06.000 Joe Biden talks about ending the forever war in Afghanistan, and Republicans sat silently and idly by.
00:15:14.000 Now, Joe Biden's motives for ending the war in Afghanistan are probably not pure.
00:15:19.000 But when something that is good for our nation gets done, I don't care who does it.
00:15:26.000 I will say that is a good thing.
00:15:28.000 Play tape.
00:15:29.000 Stern deterrence. 0.74
00:15:32.000 An American leadership means ending the forever war in Afghanistan. 0.96
00:15:38.000 We have.
00:15:46.000 We have without hyperbole, the greatest fighting force in the history of the world.
00:15:53.000 I'm the first president of 40 years who knows what it means to have a son serving in a war zone.
00:15:59.000 Today, we have service members serving in the same war zone as their parents did.
00:16:04.000 We have service members in Afghanistan who are not yet born on 9-11.
00:16:10.000 The war in Afghanistan, as we remember the debates here, were never meant to be multi-generational undertakings of nation building.
00:16:18.000 That is a winning message.
00:16:20.000 Now, Joe Biden contradicts some of his America-first ethos that he trickles in there at times, and he doesn't have an America-first ethos.
00:16:28.000 Let me rephrase that.
00:16:29.000 Let me say one-liners when he says that we need to open up our borders and become globally focused.
00:16:37.000 But the two strongest parts of Joe Biden's speech is where Republicans should call the bluff ending the war in Afghanistan and creating a self-sufficiency America-first investment agenda.
00:16:51.000 That we're not going to make t-shirts, vitamin C, in Wuhan, Beijing, Bangladesh, or Ho Chi Minh City.
00:17:01.000 Instead, we're going to make it in Middleton, Ohio, in Des Moines, Iowa, in Normal, Illinois.
00:17:09.000 We don't even have the spinners in our country to make sheets anymore.
00:17:16.000 And so, Republicans were not applauding that last night.
00:17:21.000 They should be.
00:17:22.000 It's a popular thing with their voters.
00:17:24.000 Every single time the question of ending foreign nation building comes up, voters resoundingly, resoundingly support ending the perpetual occupation in Afghanistan.
00:17:39.000 Republicans sat silently as Joe Biden announced that.
00:17:42.000 And maybe they didn't want to give him a political win.
00:17:44.000 That's fine. 0.59
00:17:46.000 But I also believe that voters have a great disdain for supporting things that are so unpopular and against the best interest of our nation for some abstract goal that no one can define in Afghanistan.
00:18:06.000 So Joe Biden's on the move, is what he said.
00:18:09.000 The most important part of his speech is one that most people are not talking about.
00:18:13.000 His full-fledged endorsement of H.R. 1, House Resolution 1.
00:18:17.000 It was the most radical part of his speech, to change elections as we know it.
00:18:25.000 And Joe Biden just uses this repeated phrase: well, we have to have our democracy, our democracy, our democracy.
00:18:32.000 First of all, we are a republic.
00:18:34.000 We are not a democracy.
00:18:36.000 The fact that Republicans don't fight on that terrain is disappointing.
00:18:42.000 But Joe Biden wants to change elections for good.
00:18:45.000 He wants to restructure the way that we actually have representative government.
00:18:52.000 So the response is coming in of whether or not people thought Joe Biden did well or not.
00:18:56.000 He's actually far underperforming even Donald Trump in 2017 in a similar type of address.
00:19:03.000 But the Democrats are not actually interested in persuasion.
00:19:07.000 They're interested in pummeling Republicans.
00:19:11.000 This speech was not about winning over moderates.
00:19:14.000 It was about motivating the base, changing election law, and trying to just get enough, maybe 3% or 4% of people that still don't like Republicans in their category.
00:19:27.000 Joe Biden is governing as the president of the Democrat Party, not as the president of our country.
00:19:34.000 It was interesting to see Joe Biden's perspective is that we're probably going to lose the House in the midterms in 2022.
00:19:41.000 And we might as well go big or go home.
00:19:44.000 The most ambitious Democrat agenda, I think, in American history, if not since Woodrow Wilson or FDR.
00:19:52.000 Doesn't matter if it's bad for the country.
00:19:54.000 Doesn't matter if it's going to destroy the American dollar.
00:19:58.000 All of that is irrelevant.
00:19:59.000 Instead, a $6 trillion spending bill on top of a $4 trillion budget.
00:20:11.000 Now, some people have a problem with me calling it ambitious.
00:20:16.000 Obviously, it's evil and it's vile and it's malicious and it's pernicious.
00:20:21.000 But I will say it's ambitious.
00:20:22.000 It's not ambitious for the country.
00:20:24.000 It's ambitious for the Democrat Party.
00:20:26.000 They want to stay in power.
00:20:28.000 They're willing to use political power that was given to them or taken, depends on how you view it.
00:20:35.000 I'd probably say taken to make America in their image.
00:20:40.000 And we have been repeating this refrain for the last couple of weeks and months, which is, when will Republicans do the same?
00:20:48.000 Things that Barack Obama never would have said, Joe Biden says unapologetically.
00:20:54.000 For example, Cut 86.
00:20:58.000 And by the way, while you're thinking about sending things to my desk, let's raise the minimum wage to $15.
00:21:10.000 No one, no one working 40 hours a week, no one working 40 hours a week should live below the poverty line. 1.00
00:21:24.000 We need to ensure greater equity and opportunity for women. 0.97
00:21:26.000 And while we're doing this, let's get the Paycheck Fairness Act to my desk as well. 1.00
00:21:30.000 Equal pay.
00:21:31.000 They spent much too long.
00:21:33.000 And if you wonder whether it's too long, look behind you.
00:21:39.000 Barack Obama hesitated to ever call for a $15 minimum wage or sign executive orders around it.
00:21:47.000 Let's go to cut 94, where Joe Biden refused to ever mention where the virus came from.
00:21:56.000 What was the point of the origination?
00:21:59.000 Where did it come from?
00:22:00.000 Cut 94.
00:22:01.000 We can't be so busy competing with one another that we forget the competition that we have with the rest of the world to win the 21st century.
00:22:12.000 Secretary Blinken can tell you, I spent a lot of time with President Xi.
00:22:17.000 Traveled over 17,000 miles with him.
00:22:21.000 Spent they tell me over 24 hours in private discussions with him.
00:22:26.000 When he called to congratulate him, we had a two-hour discussion.
00:22:31.000 He's deadly earnest about becoming the most significant consequential nation in the world. 0.89
00:22:39.000 Earnest is what he calls America's greatest enemy, the Chinese Communist Party.
00:22:46.000 And Joe Biden repeated this refrain that China is our competitor.
00:22:54.000 It's our rival, not our geopolitical enemy.
00:22:59.000 And then Biden says, no amendment to the Constitution is absolute.
00:23:02.000 We're not changing the Constitution.
00:23:04.000 I don't know if he actually said that last night, or was that a different speech, 107?
00:23:07.000 It was last night.
00:23:09.000 Is any amendment to the Constitution absolute?
00:23:12.000 For example, you can't yell fire at a crowded theater, can you?
00:23:15.000 What does he mean by that?
00:23:17.000 Let's explore that.
00:23:18.000 Cut 107.
00:23:20.000 This shouldn't be a red or blue issue.
00:23:24.000 And no amendment to the Constitution is absolute.
00:23:28.000 You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. 0.66
00:23:32.000 From the very beginning, there are certain guns, weapons, that could not be owned by Americans.
00:23:40.000 Certain people could not own those weapons ever.
00:23:45.000 We're not changing the Constitution.
00:23:49.000 We're being reasonable.
00:23:51.000 Now, the yelling fire in a crowded theater was actually overturned in a court decision in 1969.
00:24:00.000 But this is a really important part, and I want to focus on this.
00:24:04.000 No amendment to the Constitution is absolute.
00:24:09.000 Let's focus on that sentence because I actually think it's really interesting and very troubling.
00:24:15.000 No amendment to the Constitution is absolute.
00:24:20.000 What is he saying?
00:24:21.000 What is Joe Biden getting at here?
00:24:23.000 He's saying, no freedom you have without permission from us.
00:24:31.000 You see, Joe Biden has a different view of the U.S. Constitution.
00:24:35.000 He thinks that the Bill of Rights and the amendments are rules for you.
00:24:39.000 He thinks that the amendments are what you can and cannot do.
00:24:43.000 No, no, there's restrictions on you, citizen.
00:24:46.000 We give them to you.
00:24:50.000 When a very basic view of natural rights doctrine, of which the U.S. Constitution is written, is based on, James Madison being the author of the United States Constitution, Thomas Jefferson the author of the Declaration, and I actually take a view that the Declaration and the Constitution are intertwined.
00:25:09.000 The Constitution completed the original promise of the Declaration is that first and foremost, these are rules for the government, not for citizens.
00:25:22.000 So, Joe Biden, let me read you the Second Amendment, for example, because he seems as if that this is the one that he is the most focused on.
00:25:32.000 A well-regulated militia, let's stop there.
00:25:34.000 Does that mean that only the government gets guns?
00:25:36.000 No.
00:25:37.000 A militia, back when the Constitution was written, was any man between the ages of 18 to 30, so everybody, being necessary to the security of a free state.
00:25:48.000 Let's stop.
00:25:50.000 Not necessary for hunting, because Joe Biden said, oh, you know, even deer hunters don't need 100 rounds.
00:25:59.000 Not even necessary for self-defense.
00:26:01.000 No, no, no.
00:26:02.000 Necessary to the security of a free state.
00:26:05.000 What are the founding fathers getting at here?
00:26:07.000 A free people is an armed people.
00:26:11.000 That's a different argument than Joe Biden was making.
00:26:14.000 He's like, oh, no, no, no.
00:26:15.000 You only need a gun maybe to go shoot deer or protect yourself.
00:26:21.000 Six rounds is all you need. 0.80
00:26:22.000 No, no, no.
00:26:23.000 The founding fathers were very clear being necessary to the security of a free state.
00:26:30.000 They're explicit about it.
00:26:31.000 That the security of our state is intertwined with the people's ability to protect themselves against a usurpatious government.
00:26:41.000 And here's the kicker, Mr. Biden.
00:26:43.000 The right of the people to keep and bear arms.
00:26:47.000 What does that mean?
00:26:49.000 Well, the Second Amendment acknowledges that that right pre-exists the Second Amendment.
00:26:54.000 It wasn't granted by the Second Amendment.
00:26:57.000 The creation of the Second Amendment doesn't say, oh, you have a right to own a gun because we give it to you.
00:27:02.000 No, they're acknowledging it.
00:27:04.000 You see, the Constitution is an acknowledgement document.
00:27:08.000 It is not an administrative document.
00:27:10.000 Let me say that again.
00:27:11.000 It is an acknowledgement document, not an administrative document.
00:27:15.000 It's not a document that says, we are now giving you your rights.
00:27:19.000 Instead, it's recognizing them.
00:27:23.000 But here's the most important part, Mr. Biden.
00:27:26.000 Shall not be infringed.
00:27:28.000 Who's that a rule for?
00:27:30.000 Is that a rule for us, the people, the citizens, the co-rulers?
00:27:36.000 No, no, no.
00:27:37.000 Joe Biden, it's a rule for you.
00:27:40.000 That's what makes this document different.
00:27:42.000 This idea of negative rights, that these are rules for the road, not for us, but for the bureaucrats, for you, for the people that we put in charge.
00:27:56.000 He says no amendment to the Constitution is absolute.
00:28:00.000 What he is trying to say in a deceiving, treacherous, treacherous, deceitful way is we give you your rights, and they're actually only as real as we say they are.
00:28:19.000 That's a violation of the promise of the United States Constitution.
00:28:25.000 It's completely contradictory to every single foundational element of this beautiful republic we live in.
00:28:35.000 And we're going to keep on exploring this because that statement right there is one of the inflection points of his speech.
00:28:43.000 It is the whole ballgame, everybody.
00:28:45.000 If you believe that the amendments are rules for the road for you and not for government, then what can government not do?
00:28:53.000 And now we're zeroing in on why that sentence matters so much.
00:28:59.000 So have you ever browsed in incognito mode?
00:29:01.000 It's probably not as incognito as you think.
00:29:03.000 And why would it be?
00:29:04.000 Incognito mode, like the Chrome browser itself is a Google product, and Google has made its fortune by tracking your movements online.
00:29:10.000 There's even a $5 billion class action lawsuit against the company in California, where it's accused of secretly collecting user data.
00:29:16.000 Google's defense, incognito does not mean invisible.
00:29:19.000 So how do you actually make yourself as invisible as possible online, ExpressVPN?
00:29:23.000 Turns out that even in incognito mode, your online activity still gets tracked.
00:29:28.000 And data brokers still get to buy and sell your data.
00:29:31.000 One of these data points is in your IP address.
00:29:33.000 Data harvesters use your IP to uniquely identify you and your location, but with ExpressVPN, your connection gets rerouted through an encrypted server and your IP address is masked.
00:29:42.000 Every time you connect to ExpressVPN, you get a random IP address shared by other ExpressVPN customers that makes it harder for third parties to identify you or harvest your data.
00:29:50.000 Best of all, ExpressVPN is super easy to use no matter what device you're on, phone, laptop, or smart TV.
00:29:55.000 All you have to do is tap one button for instant protection.
00:29:57.000 So if you really want to go incognito and protect your privacy, secure yourself with a number one rated VPN.
00:30:02.000 Visit expressvpn.com/slash Charlie.
00:30:04.000 That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-PN.com slash Charlie, expressvpn.com slash Charlie.
00:30:11.000 So Joe Biden says that no amendment to the Constitution is absolute.
00:30:15.000 Now to an untrained population or an uneducated or miseducated population who thinks that the amendments to the Constitution are rules for you, that sounds right.
00:30:27.000 It sounds as if the amendments are rules that are supposed to be put on the American people.
00:30:37.000 So how about the First Amendment?
00:30:39.000 Often quoted.
00:30:42.000 Who is the First Amendment directed at?
00:30:44.000 Who's the First Amendment trying to slow down?
00:30:48.000 Who's the First Amendment trying to say, you're not allowed to do this?
00:30:53.000 Congress shall make no law.
00:30:55.000 Huh, let's stop there.
00:30:57.000 The founders were so worried that Congress, the people Joe Biden was speaking to last night, were going to use their power to restrict their political opponents, they had to not just say, there shall be no law, they had to point out Congress.
00:31:13.000 It's pretty powerful.
00:31:15.000 Congress shall make no law. 0.59
00:31:17.000 Respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise of, so let's just stop there.
00:31:23.000 Some people say that this means separation of church and state.
00:31:25.000 That's nowhere in the Constitution, by the way.
00:31:27.000 They were worried about Episcopalian or Presbyterian or Anglican church.
00:31:31.000 Thomas Jefferson himself allowed worship in the halls of Congress and in the Supreme Court.
00:31:40.000 In fact, my good friend Jack Kibbs sent me this beautiful thing the other day.
00:31:45.000 I want to read this.
00:31:48.000 That, I don't know where this is from.
00:31:50.000 In fact, Congress approved the use of the Capitol for worship services at the prompting of the House and Senate chaplains under the leadership of the Speaker of the House, Theodore Sedgwick, on December 4th, 1800, soon after moving the government into the new capital city.
00:32:05.000 At the time of January 3rd, 1802 worship service, the House was meeting in a temporary South Wing chamber, nicknamed the oven, partially because of how hot it was.
00:32:14.000 The Speaker's podium was used at the pulpit.
00:32:16.000 That's right.
00:32:17.000 The Speaker's podium was the pulpit for church services in 1802.
00:32:22.000 How far we have fallen.
00:32:24.000 Representative Manasseh Cutler, a congregational minister and Federalist congressman from Massachusetts, records in his diary that Baptist Elder John Leland preached the sermon of the text of the Sermon on the Mount in the halls of Congress at Jefferson's invitation.
00:32:45.000 That was one letter that's misrepresented.
00:32:48.000 Thank you, Jack Kibbs.
00:32:49.000 God bless you.
00:32:50.000 Good man.
00:32:52.000 Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or of the right of the people to peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress or grievances.
00:33:08.000 That's a rule for you, Joe Biden.
00:33:11.000 That's a rule for the government.
00:33:13.000 You see, the way Joe Biden frames it is like, look, none of your rights are absolute.
00:33:19.000 We're the government.
00:33:21.000 We are.
00:33:22.000 We're in charge.
00:33:24.000 How about the Third Amendment?
00:33:26.000 Actually, one of my favorite amendments that no one talks about.
00:33:28.000 It was a huge problem in revolutionary times.
00:33:31.000 When British soldiers used to just come into people's homes and say, we live here now.
00:33:37.000 Now, what is the Third Amendment really about?
00:33:39.000 Well, let's read it.
00:33:40.000 No soldier shall in the time of peace be quartered in any house.
00:33:44.000 Let's stop there.
00:33:45.000 Who controls soldiers?
00:33:46.000 The government.
00:33:48.000 So, this right here, again, is a rule for the government.
00:33:50.000 Do you see a through line here?
00:33:52.000 The founding fathers were saying, You can't do that, government.
00:33:56.000 You can't do that.
00:33:57.000 The Constitution is the firewall for your life, your dreams, your imagination, your ambitions against someone that has absolute power.
00:34:09.000 This, in the time of peace, be courted in any house without the consent of the owner, nor in the time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
00:34:22.000 I mean, that's a pretty definitive defense of private property, isn't it?
00:34:26.000 It's a pretty definitive sense of that you are not allowed in here, government, without my permission.
00:34:31.000 The Fourth Amendment expands on that.
00:34:33.000 One of my favorite amendments.
00:34:35.000 Fourth Amendment.
00:34:37.000 The right of the people.
00:34:38.000 Whoa.
00:34:41.000 Starts pretty.
00:34:42.000 You have to understand how transformational this was at the time.
00:34:46.000 The founding fathers were exploring a system of governance that no one had tried, that John Locke theorized, I think, 80 years earlier, 70 years or 80 years, early 1700s, 80 years earlier.
00:34:58.000 I think that's when he wrote Tolerance and Natural Rights Doctrine.
00:35:02.000 And they said, hey, we're going to give this a try.
00:35:05.000 Articles of Confederation sort of imploded.
00:35:07.000 The right of the people to be secure in their persons, house papers, and effects against unreasonable search and seizure shall not be violated.
00:35:14.000 So is there any amendment that's absolute?
00:35:17.000 Wrong question.
00:35:18.000 The question is: where do rights come from?
00:35:22.000 And are those rights absolute in that state of nature?
00:35:25.000 That's the question.
00:35:29.000 Is it time to stop renting and buy your first home?
00:35:33.000 Owning your home is an investment in your future.
00:35:35.000 And with today's low rates, now is the time to do it.
00:35:37.000 Often with mortgage payment, it's the same as rent.
00:35:40.000 So why pay for someone else's mortgage payment?
00:35:42.000 Going through the mortgage process for the first time means you're going to have lots of questions.
00:35:47.000 You need someone you can trust.
00:35:48.000 I recommend Andrew and Todd at andrewandtodd.com.

00:36:36.000 When the people become ignorant and corrupt, they become the willing instruments of their own ruin. 0.95
00:36:42.000 I'll let you mull over that. 0.95
00:36:43.000 We're getting a lot of questions on Rudy Giuliani.
00:36:46.000 Look, I've met him a couple times.
00:36:49.000 Mayor Giuliani, we had him on our program.
00:36:52.000 Definitely a committed supporter of President Trump.
00:36:55.000 Very outspoken.
00:36:57.000 Decided to go all in on multiple different parts of the Trump era.
00:37:03.000 We were joking around Rudy Giuliani as kind of the forest gump of the Trump era.
00:37:07.000 No matter what was happening, he was in the middle of it.
00:37:09.000 The impeachment, the Ukraine deal, the voter fraud, Hunter Biden's laptop, smack dab in the middle.
00:37:17.000 Look, Rudy Giuliani was America's mayor, and it really bothered the American left that Rudy Giuliani would use that platform and that credibility to then go endorse Donald Trump.
00:37:28.000 Not just endorse Donald Trump, become his lawyer and his attack dog on cable television.
00:37:34.000 I'm not going to get into the details whether I think Rudy did something wrong or not.
00:37:38.000 That's not for me.
00:37:39.000 I don't know.
00:37:40.000 Did Rudy have a lot of contact, a lot of Ukrainian people?
00:37:43.000 And are they probably going to able to dig up some part of the United States criminal code that he might have tripped over or violated?
00:37:50.000 I don't know.
00:37:52.000 However, I do know after looking at Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Dinesh D'Souza, amongst many others, and that's not an exhaustive list.
00:38:03.000 It's not impossible to believe that that same group of vengeful driven radicals that run the top apparatus of our Justice Department, they've been having Rudy on their list for quite some time.
00:38:20.000 That's not a hard thing to believe.
00:38:23.000 However, there's one interesting part of Rudy Giuliani's statement that he just released, which is really, really interesting.
00:38:31.000 And this is the part that I think everyone should focus in on.
00:38:34.000 Not whether or not did Rudy do something wrong or not.
00:38:36.000 My advice to people is, look, if someone does commit a crime and you, again, it's all allegations, right?
00:38:44.000 They go through a process, drew their peers.
00:38:47.000 You don't have to compulsory defend people on that.
00:38:50.000 You don't.
00:38:51.000 Instead, I'll say, why is the government with the full force of a search warrant going at, is that the best use of government resources?
00:38:58.000 You show me the man, I'll show you the crime.
00:39:01.000 More laws, the less justice.
00:39:04.000 And if you all of a sudden you become a political opponent of the state, they will crush you, boot on the neck until you squeal.
00:39:11.000 That's how it works.
00:39:12.000 That's what they did to Michael Cohen, and now all of a sudden he's this big anti-Trump activist like that.
00:39:17.000 This is a playbook that has been used before.
00:39:20.000 However, here's the part that I think was very interesting.
00:39:25.000 I'm going to read from Rudy's website.
00:39:27.000 I'm sure you'll not be surprised that the FBI left behind the only electronics that contained evidence of crimes, the Hunter Biden hard drives.
00:39:35.000 Mayor Giuliani, this is Robert Costello, his lawyer that wrote this.
00:39:39.000 Mayor Giuliani offered them to the FBI on several occasions, but the agents steadfastly declined.
00:39:47.000 Keep in mind that the agents could not read the physical hard drives without plugging them in.
00:39:52.000 But they took Mr. Giuliani's word.
00:39:53.000 The hard drives were copies of Hunter Biden's hard drive and did not contain anything pertaining to Mr. Giuliani.
00:39:59.000 Think about what that tells you.
00:40:01.000 Their reliance on Mr. Giuliani's credibility tells you everything you need to know about this case.
00:40:05.000 So basically, according to the account of Robert Costello, Rudy Giuliani had piles of hard drives he was begging agents to take.
00:40:13.000 And he said, these are Hunter's hard drives, and we're not going to take them.
00:40:17.000 So all Rudy Giuliani had to say is, hey, these are my travel logs, and they would have took them.
00:40:23.000 Why are FBI agents unwilling?
00:40:26.000 Maybe they already have them.
00:40:27.000 Maybe there's a huge investigation.
00:40:28.000 Now, according to Rudy Giuliani, this is what Rudy Giuliani has to say.
00:40:34.000 The Biden Department of Justice has completely ignored clear evidence, which the FBI has had for over a year, in texts and emails on Hunter Biden's hard drive of failing to register numerous times as a foreign agent, child pornography, money laundering, and 30 years of the Biden crime family taking millions of dollars in bribes to sell to public officials.
00:40:53.000 So that's Rudy's words.
00:40:57.000 We'll see if the Department of Justice gets interested in that or not.
00:41:01.000 You see a pattern here?
00:41:03.000 Stone, D'Souza, Bannon, Flynn, Manafort, Gates, Giuliani.
00:41:15.000 Heavy force of the federal government.
00:41:18.000 It's not something to be trivialized.
00:41:20.000 I'm not saying these people didn't do anything wrong.
00:41:22.000 That's not my contention.
00:41:25.000 My contention is that if you get into that orbit and you're a threat to the power or say things that they don't like, it seems as if they're going to use whatever power they have at their disposal to make America in their image.
00:41:43.000 Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:41:47.000 I want to get to this other question here.
00:41:51.000 Here's one.
00:41:51.000 David, hi, Charlie.
00:41:52.000 Did you pick up on Biden's comments on we the people?
00:41:56.000 He made it sound like the government was the people.
00:41:58.000 Thoughts, David Scottsdale.
00:42:00.000 I think Ted Cruz had some comments on this.
00:42:03.000 I'm doing a lot of thinking about that because I think I see it a little bit differently, but I want to see what Ted Cruz has to say on this.
00:42:09.000 And I think I agree with Ted Cruz on the essence of this playtape.
00:42:12.000 Tell you, Sean, the most radical line tonight was when Joe Biden said, We the people is the government.
00:42:22.000 No, Joe, you seriously misunderstand the Constitution.
00:42:26.000 We the people is not the government.
00:42:28.000 We are not a country of dictators in Washington running the people. 0.95
00:42:33.000 We the people is the people, damn it, who are in charge of the government, whose freedom you're taking away, whose liberty you're stripping away. 0.84
00:42:40.000 And it showed the arrogance of the hard left that they think that l'estasse moi, he is the state, is what he said, and he's we the people. 0.98
00:42:52.000 I mean, holy cow, that was radical.
00:42:55.000 And that's where today's Democrats are.
00:42:59.000 Now, of course, if my memory serves me correctly, l'estasse moi was said by Louis XIV, a French king.
00:43:08.000 I can get that fact-checked by Mr. Connor.
00:43:12.000 And yeah, the French had a repeated history of French monarchs that One of my favorite French phrases is also apré neuge, now that we're all exchanging French phrases, which means after us the flood can mean two different things, which basically means it's about to get pretty tough.
00:43:39.000 So, the question I'm going to read, this is from David, David from Scottsdale.
00:43:43.000 Thank you, David.
00:43:43.000 Did you pick up?
00:43:44.000 Was I right on 14th, Louis 14th?
00:43:48.000 Wah.
00:43:49.000 We.
00:43:50.000 On de toile consensus in D'Orti.
00:43:52.000 All right.
00:43:53.000 Hey, Charlie.
00:43:54.000 So he said, did you pick up on the we the people?
00:43:56.000 He made it sound like the government was the people.
00:43:59.000 So I totally agree with what Senator Cruz said.
00:44:03.000 I don't actually think that's what Joe Biden meant.
00:44:07.000 And I'm not defending Joe Biden.
00:44:09.000 I think Joe Biden was saying that we are a government for, by, and of the people.
00:44:14.000 But I think that Joe Biden had a slip where all of a sudden he said, we are now all the government.
00:44:21.000 We are a government nation.
00:44:23.000 In government, we trust.
00:44:25.000 And I think Ted Cruz highlighting that was absolutely correct in doing that.
00:44:33.000 And the question I think that many of us have is: what will Republicans do in response to this?
00:44:45.000 So I did a podcast last evening, and Luke just emailed us.
00:44:49.000 He said, Hi, Charlie, I agree with most of what you said about Tim Scott last night.
00:44:52.000 The only thing is, yes, you're right that we only need the right to be more from and not talk about common sense and common ground.
00:44:58.000 I don't believe that anybody's willing to get angry about it like you are.
00:45:01.000 People want something who is someone who is soothing and even to think that Biden is the most comatose president ever.
00:45:07.000 People like that he's all soft-spoken where Trump wasn't.
00:45:11.000 I think there's some truth to that, Luke.
00:45:12.000 There's a lot of wisdom.
00:45:14.000 I think the Trump presidency is kind of going through an era that is choppy.
00:45:23.000 Some would say it's chaotic.
00:45:25.000 But Trump ran on upheaval.
00:45:29.000 Trump's promise to the American people is hire me and things are going to all of a sudden start flying.
00:45:38.000 Hire me, and I don't know what's going to happen, but it's not going to be the same.
00:45:44.000 Business as usual is over.
00:45:45.000 That's his mandate.
00:45:48.000 And the media played into that, and they made it seem as if it was frenetic, shooting from the hip.
00:45:55.000 And I think Trump could have played into this kind of caricature of chaos.
00:46:01.000 I think Trump could have played in as saying, look, changing the trajectory of a corrupt institution is not something you do in just one board meeting.
00:46:10.000 There's going to be leaks.
00:46:12.000 There's going to be entrapments like Peter Strzok, Stroke, Smirk.
00:46:16.000 And by the way, Peter Strzok, did the FBI ever raid Peter Strzzok's apartment?
00:46:23.000 Man, how about Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe, James Comey?
00:46:34.000 And Donald Trump promised that he was going to be an ambassador of disruption.
00:46:41.000 Hire me, and we're all of a sudden going to make things different happen.
00:46:49.000 In fact, I know so many people that texted me on election day back in 2016, and they said, I just voted for Trump.
00:46:56.000 I hope he just sticks it, sticks it to him.
00:47:00.000 I'm going to say one thing that someone said to me and they texted me.
00:47:02.000 It was metaphorical, okay?
00:47:04.000 Media matters.
00:47:05.000 Hello.
00:47:06.000 Is I voted for Trump.
00:47:08.000 I hope he blows it all up metaphorically, okay?
00:47:12.000 But that was the promise.
00:47:17.000 And some people grew exhausted from that.
00:47:20.000 And Democrats weared us down like a full court press.
00:47:26.000 Democrats metaphorically waterboarded a nation.
00:47:35.000 And people said, enough.
00:47:37.000 I can't handle it.
00:47:38.000 The tweets, the press conferences, the leaking, the bad articles from the New York Times, the masks, all of it.
00:47:46.000 I want boring.
00:47:49.000 This was their political strategy.
00:47:51.000 Make America boring again.
00:47:54.000 Now, the trouble with boring, because Barack Obama was never boring, I found him actually kind of be boring at times.
00:47:59.000 But versus Joe Biden, he's like, share, okay?
00:48:03.000 It's like Madonna.
00:48:05.000 It's completely different.
00:48:08.000 Is that the Democrats said, ah, what's the best way to destroy something in darkness?
00:48:18.000 Now, if only there was a paper whose ethos was a democracy dies in darkness.
00:48:23.000 If only that was something that they cared about.
00:48:26.000 Too bad. 0.89
00:48:29.000 Their new strategy is we are going to make America sleep and full of pleasure, sedate them temporarily, the buzz, the rush of feeling good, and then our plunder will be uninterrupted.
00:48:47.000 Now, the question is: are Republicans going to be a buttoned-up version of that?
00:48:52.000 Or is there an equal and opposite reaction brewing?
00:48:56.000 Is there a demand for representation?
00:49:00.000 And that's really the question that remains.
00:49:03.000 How do you keep a population sleepy?
00:49:08.000 How do you keep a population from challenging the status quo?
00:49:14.000 How do you keep a population in line? 0.65
00:49:19.000 Well, the Soviet Union actually sort of perfected this.
00:49:25.000 Many people don't know this, but the Soviet Union had the highest rates of alcoholism in the world.
00:49:33.000 In fact, many people that traveled behind the Iron Curtain, they'd comment on how vodka was unbelievably cheap and the communist government used alcohol to placate the masses.
00:49:47.000 In fact, a study done showed that vodka came to Russia around the 15th century.
00:49:53.000 Soviet citizens consumed around 11.2 liters of pure alcohol per year, making them the world's heaviest drinkers in 1987.
00:50:05.000 Regular heavy drinking occurs in all of the strata of the Soviet population, is growing steadily among women and young people.
00:50:11.000 Get this.
00:50:12.000 Between 1940 and 1980, the USSR experienced the highest rate of increase in the amount of alcohol consumed per person among developing countries.
00:50:20.000 Consumption increased by 600% while the population grew only 25%.
00:50:25.000 In a piece in the Atlantic that says how alcohol conquered Russia, it says that 6.2% of people globally die of alcohol-related deaths.
00:50:44.000 One in five in Russia die of alcohol-related deaths.
00:50:50.000 It says that 20 million Russians in a nation of just 144 million are alcoholics.
00:50:59.000 Now, this is a strategy.
00:51:00.000 This is a strategy that was pushed forward by Joseph Stalin and many others to keep the population from questioning their policies.
00:51:16.000 And as we are seeing alcoholism go up in our country, we are seeing weed go up and drug usage, I can't help but think, is there a strategy to lull America to sleep?
00:51:30.000 It's easier to allow a sleepy president to destroy the country if everyone is chemically sedated, or at least a large part of the population is.
00:51:40.000 Weed has now been legalized in Arizona, and Arizona will soon see what happens when you legalize weed.
00:51:47.000 Weed culture comes in.
00:51:49.000 Nine-year-olds will be doing edibles.
00:51:53.000 You'll start seeing more driving under the influence, an entire viewpoint change towards a more liberal direction.
00:52:04.000 But even beyond that, I think it's very interesting.
00:52:08.000 Because I've been doing a lot of studying about the Soviet Union, and I'd always ask people that travel to the Soviet Union, Dennis Prager being one of them, why didn't the people, the Soviet Union, rise up?
00:52:19.000 And many people would say they're too busy being chemically medicated, pursuing pleasure over virtue.
00:52:26.000 You could decide for yourself if that's what's happening here in our country.
00:52:31.000 But we have a president who is a little bit vanilla, less than energetic, and wants to lull you to sleep.
00:52:44.000 Don't worry, you got your little buzz.
00:52:47.000 You got your check.
00:52:49.000 Vote for me.
00:52:50.000 You'll get another one.
00:52:51.000 I know people that got their stimulus check, and they even messaged me, Charlie, I feel guilty about this, but I feel good getting the money.
00:52:59.000 And I chuckled.
00:53:00.000 I said, of course free money feels good for now.
00:53:04.000 Until that money expires and the dollar is worth less.
00:53:07.000 And then you are going to come back to its source.
00:53:09.000 The Democrats know this. 0.65
00:53:11.000 It's no different than what the Romans did to their citizens. 0.86
00:53:16.000 Just enough to get by, not enough for you to improve your life. 0.94
00:53:20.000 Big displays of sport.
00:53:23.000 Bathhouses, which meant pleasure for the masses, and the decline of a great society, and the crumbling of a civilization.
00:53:33.000 There's actually a lot of parallels to Rome.
00:53:34.000 They deteriorated the currency. 1.00
00:53:36.000 They let foreigners in. 0.99
00:53:37.000 They declared foreign wars.
00:53:38.000 There was corruption in the capital.
00:53:40.000 They decided no longer to be a republic and then an empire.
00:53:43.000 But history doesn't teach us anything, right?
00:53:48.000 History is just a Western construct.
00:53:52.000 Insofar America pursues pleasure over virtue, we will be in inevitable decline.
00:54:01.000 It's up for those of us that know this idea of liberty and freedom to say it's time to wake up.
00:54:07.000 Dare I say it's time for us to get woke.
00:54:11.000 They want America to sleep again while their plunder and their treachery goes unchallenged.
00:54:18.000 It's up to you to do something about it.
