00:00:20.000 Yes, we've talked about how the left is making record progress to fundamentally destroy our country.
00:00:26.000 But I have some very unique and important good news to share with you.
00:00:30.000 Let not your hearts be troubled, my friends.
00:00:32.000 We are going to win.
00:00:33.000 And the bad guys are going to lose.

00:00:47.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:48.000 Here we go.
00:00:49.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:51.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:53.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:57.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:00.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:01.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:02.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:09.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:10.000 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.
00:01:19.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:22.000 I want to share some good news with you today.
00:01:24.000 That's right.
00:01:25.000 Good news.
00:01:26.000 America's burning.
00:01:27.000 Seattle's been taken over by terrorists.
00:01:29.000 They're trying to take down the statue of Abraham Lincoln in Boston, Massachusetts.
00:01:34.000 But I have some good news to share.
00:01:36.000 So I was watching some of these rioters and demonstrations and some of all these young activists take to the streets.
00:01:43.000 I was rewatching some of the footage today and yesterday, and I noticed there was a glaring piece of paraphernalia missing from their Burn the World starter kit.
00:01:53.000 They had the mask.
00:01:55.000 Many of them had their tattoos hidden.
00:01:58.000 Others had their cardboard protest signs conveniently made with the right wordage.
00:02:05.000 Everything that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez instructed them to do on her Instagram page, they basically followed it to a T.
00:02:12.000 But amongst all these endless swarms of miserable marchers, I see lots of reason for generational concern.
00:02:20.000 But more presciently, I actually see a sign of hope.
00:02:26.000 I'm sure you're saying, Charlie, are you okay?
00:02:28.000 Did I accidentally listen to the 1619 project?
00:02:30.000 Am I listening to the podcast, which, by the way, helped us beat it by subscribing, typing in Charlie Kirkstring subscribed and hit five stars?
00:02:38.000 Are you okay?
00:02:39.000 Am I listening to some sort of Black Lives Matter podcast?
00:02:42.000 You see hope?
00:02:44.000 How can arsonist thugs harmonizing with clueless suburbanites give you promise and hope?
00:02:51.000 What about these massive swaths of angry activists can give you promise for the future?
00:02:58.000 It's not what I see, but what I don't see.
00:03:03.000 In every election year, the repeated anger cycle and apology tour begins in our urban cities.
00:03:10.000 Elections have consequences, Barack Obama told us.
00:03:13.000 And the left doesn't want the consequences of elections to be them without power.
00:03:20.000 From the outward appearance, it would seem that the left is more unified than ever.
00:03:25.000 If you just mention the name Trump, the entire crowd reflexively turns into a flock of agitators and almost like a frenetic cyclone of squealing.
00:03:35.000 Despite the agreed-upon shrieking of suburban social justice crusaders, those of us who actually love America are witnessing the lack of something that should motivate and compel you to hope-filled action.
00:03:54.000 I've watched hours of this footage of all these types of demonstrations.
00:03:58.000 At Turning Point USA, we have grassroots journalists on the streets.
00:04:02.000 At Turning Point USA, we are actually live from Chaz.
00:04:05.000 You guys can listen to our previous episode from an in-depth report straight from the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.
00:04:11.000 We have exclusive reports.
00:04:14.000 We have been recording the movements of these swarms of social justice warriors.
00:04:20.000 Now, the signage and the messaging that we keep on seeing is very predictable: Black Lives Matter, abolish the police, defund the police.
00:04:28.000 I can't breathe.
00:04:30.000 Say his name.
00:04:31.000 Revolution is coming.
00:04:34.000 It always happens during an election year that you see these massive protests stirred up by the media.
00:04:42.000 So I asked our team at the Charlie Kirk show to dive deep, go through all the footage that was collected through all of our friends and all the different assets that we have.
00:04:50.000 And I asked them to find just one person.
00:04:53.000 Yes, one person with a Biden sign for president, a shirt, a hat, anything.
00:05:01.000 Now, of course, I'm sure someone somewhere in all these protests had a Joe Biden love segregation shirt or whatever he stood for in the 1970s or 80s, or a Joe Biden for a president because he doesn't think you're black shirt.
00:05:15.000 Or if you think Black Lives Matter only if you're a Democrat, whatever shirt that Joe Biden might profess, I'm sure some human being was wearing that.
00:05:23.000 But the main point is this: where are the grassroots-made signs for Joe Biden?
00:05:29.000 Why isn't all this rage translating into Biden advocacy?
00:05:35.000 This is their moment, right?
00:05:37.000 This is their window to burn it all down, and Biden can be their Roba Spear.
00:05:42.000 I think these radicals have no appetite or interest in Beijing Biden.
00:05:49.000 In fact, they actually disdain him.
00:05:52.000 You see, you can have unlimited amounts of Simone Sanders or Alyssa Milanos and other clueless, foolish, paid sycophants who will continue to try to force-feed Biden to the resentful hordes.
00:06:06.000 But they don't want it.
00:06:09.000 Now, remember the lockdown protesters.
00:06:12.000 Remember the protesters in California and in Michigan?
00:06:15.000 See, those protests, everyone was wearing Trump hats.
00:06:19.000 There was a direct connection to their spirit of rebellion against the lockdowns and a connection to Donald Trump.
00:06:25.000 That sort of grassroots revolution was directly correlated with an election year call to action.
00:06:32.000 Grassroots repudiations and physically assembled demonstrations, they're kind of like fireworks.
00:06:39.000 You see, they start from the ground, they grow to an apex, they explode with a bang, they scatter, and then they disappear to just a memory.
00:06:48.000 The energy from these revolts can have real political implications.
00:06:53.000 Remember, the Tea Party movement was a throbbing middle finger, a full-forced rejection of Barack Obama and his sanctimonious, self-righteous administration.
00:07:05.000 These moments rarely turn into full-fledged movements.
00:07:08.000 In fact, they almost are guaranteed to metamorphosize into fractured, hyper-micro-fringe groups.
00:07:16.000 However, right now in an election year, with every protester saying they hate Trump, that should be translating into advocacy for Joe Biden.
00:07:30.000 Have you seen anyone convert a broken side of a cardboard box into a vote Biden sign?
00:07:37.000 You cannot find in hundreds of hours of footage any type of organic or genuine excitement for Joe Biden.
00:07:44.000 This is a dreadful sign for Joe Biden.
00:07:48.000 He needs younger voters.
00:07:52.000 He doesn't just need them.
00:07:54.000 He desperately requires them to be vengeful, motivated, and activated towards electing Biden as the primary vehicle for social change.
00:08:04.000 You see, the Biden campaign is incorrectly and confidently wagering that these flocks of bitter, newly motivated deconstructionists will automatically and enthusiastically translate their rage into votes and activism for Joe Biden.
00:08:20.000 The Biden campaign is really misled here.
00:08:22.000 And seemingly, they're far too relaxed when it comes to their organizing and mobilizing of an animated Democrat base.
00:08:29.000 As we have discussed before on the show, the Democrat Party's path to victory requires the effective mobilization of resentments and people who think they are oppressed and aggrieved.
00:08:40.000 This should give you hope for two major reasons.
00:08:43.000 One, Biden statistically needs energized turnout.
00:08:48.000 In order for Biden to replicate the 2012 numbers that Barack Obama achieved while Joe Biden was running as his vice president, he would need to win the youth vote nationally 67% to 30%.
00:09:01.000 Now, Donald Trump did even better than Mitt Romney did in the youth vote in 2012.
00:09:05.000 In some states, he actually even won the youth vote.
00:09:07.000 Obama won at least 61% of the youth vote in the battleground states.
00:09:12.000 Even if Romney was able to get to 50-50 with younger voters in the key states, he would have won the White House.
00:09:18.000 Now, Mitt Romney's a Black Lives Matter activist, so it's a good thing he probably didn't become president.
00:09:22.000 I'm not saying Obama was the better alternative.
00:09:24.000 I'm just saying what's the difference between the two.
00:09:27.000 It's important to recognize and realize that Biden, in order to beat Donald Trump, he needs energized turnout.
00:09:35.000 But here's the second part of good news.
00:09:38.000 And if you're like me, you want some good news right now.
00:09:43.000 This is foreshadowing of an impending and currently postponed Democrat Civil War.
00:09:51.000 There's a Democrat Civil War that we've talked about for some time.
00:09:57.000 And it was suppressed and it was postponed due to the agreeable hatred of Donald Trump.
00:10:03.000 Bernie Sanders was winning that Civil War.
00:10:05.000 Bernie Sanders was marching his forces close to the Democrat Convention.
00:10:10.000 In fact, many of us thought Bernie Sanders was going to be the nominee.
00:10:13.000 In fact, we were gearing up to run up against Bolshevik Bernie Sanders.
00:10:19.000 But then Joe Biden, despite not knowing what state he's in, being able to distinguish his wife from his sister, calling people lying-faced pony dog soldiers or whatever Joe Biden says, probably got that incorrect, but he probably did too.
00:10:34.000 It's really important to recognize that the Civil War of Elon Omar, Alexandria Casio-Cortez, Ayana Presley, and all the insurgents within the Democrat Party, that's not going to go away.
00:10:46.000 In fact, the lack of grassroots activism for Biden in the streets spells imminent civil war.
00:10:56.000 Now, if we as Republicans could hold the line like we did against Kavanaugh and make this abolish police, racist narrative that the Democrats are pushing as our Kavanaugh moment where we stood for truth, we didn't give the left an inch.
00:11:10.000 We said we are going to confirm Justice Kavanaugh despite the lies.
00:11:14.000 Lindsey Graham came out of hiding and the entire establishment started to stand for truth.
00:11:20.000 Susan Collins even stood for truth.
00:11:22.000 If we made this moment our Kavanaugh moment, we would win.
00:11:27.000 We'd win the argument.
00:11:28.000 We'd win culturally.
00:11:29.000 Instead, we're allowing the left to push us back endlessly.
00:11:33.000 Now, if we are able to regather, regroup, play off, and stand for truth like we did against Kavanaugh, the left will devour themselves.
00:11:41.000 When you have a mob that is not based in ultimate truth, that's not based in any form of organized thinking or reason, they will eventually devour themselves.
00:11:51.000 They will eventually tear themselves apart.
00:11:54.000 The only source of energy that the swarm has, that these hordes of resentment have, is their focus on conservatives.
00:12:02.000 If conservatives force them backwards, if conservatives draw the line and say no more and we become unified, and I believe that's going to happen soon as soon as President Trump's able to return to his rallies and he can set the narrative and give people confidence and give them clarity on exactly the direction that our country and our movement is headed, the Democrats will be forced to engage in a friendly fire.
00:12:26.000 They'll be forced to go into a circular firing squad.
00:12:29.000 It's inevitable when you form a group that is around rage, anger, and resentment.
00:12:35.000 There's no controlling that.
00:12:36.000 There's no clear thinking there.
00:12:39.000 There is a civil war happening in the Democrat Party.
00:12:43.000 It's just quieter and it's postponed.
00:12:45.000 There's been a stalemate.
00:12:48.000 They want that civil war to happen when they have eliminated the Republican Party for good.
00:12:53.000 They want that civil war to happen when there is no conservative movement.
00:12:57.000 They want that civil war to happen when they have a California-style monopoly where basically the entire election is the primary, which is how it works in California.
00:13:11.000 Some of these districts are so far to the left, so long gone.
00:13:14.000 There is no general election.
00:13:17.000 It's basically the primary.
00:13:19.000 This is good news.
00:13:20.000 It's also a call to action.
00:13:22.000 Now is the time to organize, hold the line like we did for Kavanaugh, because the lack of enthusiasm, the lack of signage, the lack of vim and vigor for Joe Biden should give all of us incredible confidence that they have an enthusiasm problem, that they have a turnout problem.
00:13:39.000 And whether it will translate into Joe Biden's support or not remains to be seen.
00:13:43.000 But he is antithetical to everything that these activists are expressing and fighting for.
00:13:49.000 In fact, he's the embodiment of the enemy that they all hate.

00:14:58.000 So, if you're like me, you want some good news.
00:15:00.000 And that was some good news that I shared: that Joe Biden is not trending nicely with the base of the Democrat Party, which is a great sign for Donald Trump.
00:15:07.000 But here's some more good news: retail sales jumped higher in May as consumers returned to stores as coronavirus lockdowns were lifted across the United States.
00:15:16.000 Retail sales surged 17.7% compared with the prior month, according to Commerce Department data released Tuesday, easily beating expectations for an 8% gain.
00:15:25.000 Every single expectation they set ends up being wrong.
00:15:28.000 Everything.
00:15:29.000 It's like the experts are professionally incorrect.
00:15:31.000 The numbers indicate a high degree of pent-up demand.
00:15:34.000 This is a great leading indicator for the economy, everyone.
00:15:37.000 Clothing and accessory stores, many of which were closed in March and April, reported the biggest percentage gain at 188%.
00:15:43.000 Furniture store sales rose about 89.7%.
00:15:46.000 And in May, unemployment fell as 2.5 million Americans went back to work, making the largest ever one-month increase in employment in United States history.
00:15:53.000 This is what President Trump has been fighting for the entire time.
00:15:57.000 He knew that reopening America would be good for the country and good for the economy.
00:16:01.000 One of the reasons why the stock market has increased is we finally have trial results that were announced Tuesday that show dexametathasone, a widely available and cheap drug, can help critically ill Chinese coronavirus patients.
00:16:14.000 The treatment reportedly reduced COVID-19 deaths in hospitalized patients by up to one-third.
00:16:18.000 This is from the BBC.
00:16:20.000 This drug is part of the world's biggest trial testing existing treatments to see if they also work for coronavirus.
00:16:25.000 Had the drug been used to treat patients in the United Kingdom from the start of the pandemic, up to 5,000 lives could have been said, research shows.
00:16:32.000 And this is one of the reasons why the market is soaring.
00:16:34.000 When we think of the economy, we have to keep in mind of the global economy.
00:16:37.000 The fact that this is a drug that can be widely available all across the world with less infrastructure is potentially a boon to the whole global economy, which will help America's economy, of course, as well.
00:16:47.000 Apple is planning to open 10 stores in New York City and 200 of its 271 stores nationwide.
00:16:53.000 It's the first time stores in New York City will be open since March when the company shuttered its locations amid the pandemic and a sign that business is picking up in the city.
00:17:01.000 But by the end of the week, more than 200 of the company's 271 retail stores will be open.
00:17:06.000 Apple requires customers to wear face masks inside their stores and it will provide masks to customers who do not have one.
00:17:11.000 Whatever you think of Apple, and by the way, please subscribe to our podcast on Apple.
00:17:15.000 This is very good news for the economy.
00:17:17.000 Sports are also coming back.
00:17:18.000 The NBA will return in late July with a 22-team format.
00:17:22.000 That's right, sports are coming back.
00:17:24.000 Each team will play eight regular season games to determine seating before they move into playoffs.
00:17:28.000 And speaking of sports, there is no shortage of action going on with our exclusive partners at betonline.ag.

00:18:09.000 Now, the Washington Post has reported the games will be played at the ESPN wide world of sports complex at Disney World without any fans in attendance, which is too bad.
00:18:17.000 No one will be able to watch LeBron James choke miserably live in person.
00:18:22.000 Maybe he actually might play better with no people around him or worse.
00:18:25.000 We'll see.
00:18:25.000 The National Football League's season is still scheduled to begin on September 10th with no word yet on whether fans will be able to attend games and they should be able to attend games.
00:18:34.000 Players are currently training remotely with the team's training camp set to open in July.
00:18:38.000 That said, it's still highly unlikely that I'll be tuning in to watch any form of NFL action.
00:18:43.000 I just, I'm not going to support an anti-American enterprise.
00:18:46.000 I don't care if I love the sport.
00:18:48.000 I will not support something that engages in blatant, anti-Western, anti-American activism.
00:18:54.000 And by the way, if we can protest in Brooklyn and Los Angeles with hundreds of thousands of people, we should be able to watch sports in person.
00:19:00.000 I won't be watching the NBA.
00:19:01.000 I won't be watching the NFL because if they take a knee and if they protest our flag, I'm done.
00:19:05.000 I don't care how entertaining that is.
00:19:07.000 I'll go watch YouTube views of lectures on stoic philosophy, even though I like sports a lot.
00:19:12.000 Not only that, but Roger Goodell just announced that he would welcome teams to hire the failed quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who's a social justice anti-American activist and is actually encouraging it.
00:19:20.000 Thankfully, NCAA football is also on its way back into action.
00:19:24.000 According to Sports 24-7 reporting, the NCAA cleared the path in a May 20th vote for its football programs along with men's and women's basketball to begin on-campus voluntary workouts as early as June 1.
00:19:35.000 The SEC just moved to allow its schools to return to workouts on June 8th, becoming the first conference to do so.
00:19:41.000 And my Ducks of Oregon have been back on the practice field effective June 15th.
00:19:45.000 UFC has already had two full flight cards, and we are very successful on pay-per-view.
00:19:49.000 And U.S. Open, China has just announced it will hold the tournament in New York City later this year.
00:19:54.000 And in news that no one should care about, this is basically an anti-American garbage troop that they just march around and tell us to feel sorry for them all the time, is the National Women's Soccer League is set to actually be the first U.S. sports team to return.
00:20:07.000 I won't be watching, and good luck kneeling.
00:20:10.000 Expect plenty of players to be kneeling for America and hate to fill the stadium.
00:20:14.000 I will be nowhere near that.
00:20:15.000 I will be learning about why our country is great and how to save it.
00:20:18.000 I will be watching college football unless they start kneeling and they start engaging in this nonsense.
00:20:22.000 If they do, I hope they pull scholarships.
00:20:24.000 I won't support it.
00:20:25.000 I just won't.
00:20:26.000 Any sport that gets engaged and get involved, you have a right to do that.
00:20:28.000 People have emailed me.
00:20:29.000 Well, Charlie, don't they have a right to do it?
00:20:31.000 Of course you have a right to be foolish.
00:20:32.000 I mean, you have a right to do really, really dumb things.
00:20:35.000 I also have a right not to watch.
00:20:38.000 I have a right to watch something else, and I have a right not to agree with it, and I have a right not to support it with my dollars or my views or anything.
00:20:44.000 And so did Drew Brees, by the way.
00:20:46.000 Drew Brees could have made a heroic stand for our country.
00:20:48.000 And while we have veterans that storm the beach, unafraid of machine gun fire coming after them, you have Drew Brees that, yes, helped people in the inner cities of New Orleans.
00:20:55.000 Yes, helped people through many times of suffering, but he's a coward.
00:20:58.000 Now, he's a nice coward.
00:20:59.000 He's a kind coward.
00:21:00.000 He's a generous coward.
00:21:01.000 He's a benevolent coward, but Drew Brees is no backbone.
00:21:04.000 He has no spine.
00:21:05.000 He stands against the mob.
00:21:06.000 He's in his like sixth variation of his apology.
00:21:08.000 He's going to keep on getting paid tens of millions of dollars.
00:21:11.000 I hope it's worth it.
00:21:11.000 I hope that bag of money that he's getting from the New Orleans Saints is worth him standing with no conviction, no clarity of thought, and not standing up against the anti-American mob.
00:21:20.000 You know, if our country really comes to an apex point, Drew Brees could have been one of the reasons that could have prevented it.
00:21:24.000 He has so much credibility.
00:21:25.000 There's nothing wrong with what he said.
00:21:27.000 Instead, he was bullied, and he's a coward, and I hope that no one ever follows his lead.
00:21:32.000 I hope you guys follow his lead in charitable giving.
00:21:34.000 I mean, he's very generous.
00:21:35.000 He seems like a kind person.
00:21:36.000 I'm not calling him a jerk.
00:21:37.000 I'm not saying that he's a bad person.
00:21:39.000 I'm instead calling him a coward.
00:21:41.000 It's two completely different things.
00:21:42.000 We need sports back.
00:21:44.000 We need it more than ever.
00:21:45.000 I have some more good news.
00:21:46.000 I'm going to dispel some bad news.
00:21:48.000 But first, I want to tell you about Legacy Box.
00:21:50.000 Legacy Box is a super simple mail-in service that puts all your videotapes, camcorder tapes, film reels on a DVD or a cloud.
00:21:59.000 What are your favorite memories?

00:22:06.000 All you do is you send them into LexiBox.
00:22:08.000 They take it very seriously.
00:22:09.000 And boom, just like that.
00:22:11.000 You get it onto a cloud or get it onto a DVD or a digitally preserved thumb drive.
00:22:17.000 I can tell you with Legacy Box, they took all of our family memories.
00:22:20.000 They put it up on a digital drive almost instantaneously.
00:22:23.000 So it's legacybox.com slash Charlie.
00:22:26.000 It's the only way for you to easily and affordably digitally preserve your past.
00:22:30.000 You get back perfectly preserved digital copies on a thumb drive, DVD, or the cloud and ready to watch, share, and enjoy.
00:22:37.000 And plus, they keep you up to date with regular email updates throughout the digitizing process.
00:22:41.000 Legacy Box is the world's largest digitizer of home movies and photos and has helped over 750,000 families digitally preserve their past.
00:22:49.000 Win the favorite kid award this Father's Day and give a dad a present he'll never forget at legacybox.com slash Charlie, legacybox.com slash Charlie.
00:23:00.000 So Charlie, you might say, but with all the recent polling that's going in the wrong direction, how can you focus on good news?
00:23:05.000 Well, first of all, we just need good news, okay?
00:23:08.000 I really believe in the power of positive thinking.
00:23:10.000 I believe if you focus too much on the negative and not the positive, you can just get yourself in an endless trap of negativity.
00:23:17.000 And for those of you out there, I challenge you to be the best person you possibly can as a Christian.
00:23:21.000 It informs me to tell you about the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, that makes you reborn, a total surrendering to Jesus Christ.
00:23:27.000 And the gospel is the most important message for you.
00:23:31.000 And Philippians 4.8, which I love, and I talked about this at my church service that I spoke at with Pastor Rob McCoy.
00:23:37.000 And actually, we're going to be airing that as a podcast.
00:23:40.000 And it's a great verse.
00:23:42.000 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
00:23:47.000 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think on these things.
00:23:55.000 And that's also a great thing to talk about to these Christian pastors that don't want to engage in the culture, that don't want to engage in the pursuit of truth.
00:24:03.000 It says, whatever is true, it's not saying that there's a greater truth than Jesus.
00:24:06.000 We know that the greatest truth is Jesus.
00:24:08.000 Jesus is the embodiment of truth, which makes him so different than any other religion.
00:24:12.000 But also, physics are true, math is true, statistics are true.
00:24:16.000 And you also must fight against what is untrue.
00:24:18.000 And these Christian pastors that think that they can stay out of the discussion of what is true and not true, they are basically disobeying the writings of the Apostle Paul.
00:24:27.000 So look, let's talk about things that are true.
00:24:29.000 The polls were wrong in 2016.
00:24:31.000 They are designed to defeat our spirit, to keep us inside and feel like all is lost.
00:24:36.000 We defied them once and we'll do it again.
00:24:38.000 Plus, they oversample Democrats.
00:24:40.000 This is true of the recent polling done by CNN.
00:24:43.000 These are called suppression polls.
00:24:45.000 They've been named for a reason because they're a common tactic.
00:24:47.000 They try to use them to keep people from showing up.
00:24:50.000 It's only June.
00:24:51.000 The election is in November.
00:24:52.000 That's an eternity.
00:24:54.000 The president is still strong with his base.
00:24:56.000 He has an enthusiasm advantage, which I articulated previously.
00:24:59.000 The rallies are coming back and no one can match this.
00:25:02.000 The economy is rebounding.
00:25:04.000 And my goodness, I pray that Durham might actually bring some convictions.
00:25:09.000 I encourage you to listen to our upcoming episode with Devin Nunez, which right now type in Charlie Kirk Show, hit subscribe to your podcast provider, leave us a five-star review.
00:25:16.000 That way you'll know every time we drop a new episode.
00:25:19.000 And we have Devin Nunez coming up later this week.
00:25:21.000 Here's some more good news: We've beat the Democrats at the culture war once, and we can do it again.
00:25:26.000 Again, I said this earlier: we need to make this our Kavanaugh moment.
00:25:29.000 Lockdowns and abolish the police need to be our Kavanaugh.
00:25:33.000 I tweeted this.
00:25:33.000 Republicans in Congress are asking me how we should fight.
00:25:36.000 Very easy answer: do what you did with Kavanaugh.
00:25:39.000 Stand for truth.
00:25:40.000 Hold the line.
00:25:40.000 Get angry.
00:25:41.000 Don't tolerate their deceitful tactics.
00:25:43.000 Call them out.
00:25:43.000 That is how you win, and the left loses.
00:25:45.000 You did it once, now do it again.
00:25:46.000 End quote.
00:25:48.000 I have senators calling me.
00:25:50.000 I have congressmen calling me.
00:25:51.000 I have people in the executive branch calling me.
00:25:53.000 They say, Charlie, you seem to be fighting right now.
00:25:55.000 How do you suppose we fight?
00:25:56.000 I say, You've done it before.
00:25:57.000 You did it with Kavanaugh.
00:25:58.000 You united the party, united the conservative movement.
00:26:01.000 And public opinion actually grew in the favor of the pro-Kavanaugh advocacy.
00:26:08.000 Why?
00:26:08.000 Because the left will show their true colors.
00:26:10.000 They started bringing in these insane people that were just making up stuff about Brett Kavanaugh.
00:26:15.000 When the right is united, America flourishes.
00:26:17.000 When the right is united, the Republic is protected.
00:26:20.000 When we are divided and we are weak and we run to the hills, and people say, Well, we need something to unite against.
00:26:25.000 Okay, how about this?
00:26:26.000 Chaz.
00:26:26.000 Make Chaz your Kavanaugh moment.
00:26:29.000 Make the abolished police your Kavanaugh moment.
00:26:32.000 Unfortunately, the conservative movement is an awful offensive movement.
00:26:36.000 We're better defensive when they try to take something from us, try to take our guns, try to take our religious liberty, try to take Brett Kavanaugh.
00:26:43.000 But now they're trying to take our country.
00:26:45.000 And so this should be a very successful political moment for us.
00:26:48.000 And we have an X factor that they do not have.
00:26:52.000 We have President Trump.
00:26:53.000 His instincts are second to none.
00:26:55.000 He understands the American people better than the consulting class, the pundits on television, and all the prognosticators telling you that he's going to lose in November.
00:27:03.000 President Trump gave conservatives a spine once, and he can do it again.
00:27:06.000 President Trump taught us how to fight on the embassy in Jerusalem, taught us to fight on the Iran deal, the border.
00:27:11.000 And he'll do it again in the same way.
00:27:13.000 He created the best economy on the planet, and he will do it again.
00:27:16.000 The fundamentals of the economy were strong before the pandemic, which gives us a great chance at a V-shaped recovery.
00:27:22.000 If we were in a recession and we shut down, oh my goodness, I don't even want to know where we would be.
00:27:27.000 He is the left's kryptonite.
00:27:29.000 He knows how to make them overplay their hand.
00:27:31.000 Defund the police is polling negatively with independents and moderates, and especially suburban voters.
00:27:36.000 Other things that are polling terribly is that the world's going to end in 12 years.
00:27:39.000 Ban all guns.
00:27:40.000 Medicare for all.
00:27:42.000 The entire platform of Black Lives Matter actually polls negatively.
00:27:45.000 They might poll favorably because no one has fought against them.
00:27:49.000 Imagine if Republicans didn't fight when it came to Brett Kavanaugh.
00:27:52.000 Imagine if Republicans didn't hold the line with Brett Kavanaugh.
00:27:55.000 He might have been at his nomination poll.
00:27:57.000 There's still ample reason to believe that Trump's favorability with black voters, especially black men, is still historically high for a Republican candidate.
00:28:05.000 On June 5th, Rasmussen put it at 40%.
00:28:09.000 Now, I don't tend to believe that number, but let's pretend it's half of that.
00:28:12.000 20% could still alter the course of American politics.
00:28:15.000 Democrats cannot win in a national election without more than 90% of the black vote.
00:28:21.000 That's why they're doing what they're doing right now.
00:28:23.000 The left is posturing because they control the media.
00:28:26.000 They are acting bigger than they actually are.
00:28:28.000 This is Solinsky's number one rule.
00:28:30.000 Make yourself seem more powerful than you really are.
00:28:33.000 We call this a silent majority.
00:28:35.000 We call us the silent majority because the right behaves differently than the left.
00:28:38.000 We tend to be quieter about our politics.
00:28:40.000 Well, obviously not me, not my DNA.
00:28:42.000 And also, Joe Biden is a historically bad candidate.
00:28:45.000 He's failed twice before in his bids for president, barely registering any percentage vote of Democrat voters in his primary in 2007 or 2008.
00:28:53.000 He's a proven and admitted plagiarist in his 1988 campaign, cratered after multiple instances of plagiarism, both in campaign speeches and all the way from his law school days.
00:29:04.000 He's a proven racist.
00:29:06.000 He said this.
00:29:06.000 You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
00:29:10.000 Play tape.
00:29:11.000 You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
00:29:19.000 I'm not joking.
00:29:21.000 He also said, I mean, you got the first mainstream African American who's articulate and bright and clean, a nice-looking guy.
00:29:26.000 Play tape.
00:29:27.000 I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and nice-looking guy.
00:29:40.000 I mean, that's a story, bro.
00:29:42.000 He said that you're not black if you consider voting for Trump.
00:29:45.000 Play tape.
00:29:46.000 It's a long way until November.
00:29:47.000 We got more questions.
00:29:49.000 You got more questions.
00:29:50.000 I tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, and you ain't black.
00:29:56.000 He's defended segregationists, and he's likely the most corrupt vice president in American history.
00:30:00.000 He sent his son to China in Air Force 2 and sold us out for that.
00:30:03.000 Listen to our sister episode today.
00:30:05.000 Rudy Giuliani goes into this.
00:30:07.000 Ukraine.
00:30:08.000 And we know all about the corruption around Joe Biden, including Iraq.
00:30:12.000 That's right, Iraq.
00:30:13.000 And Rude Giuliani dives into that.
00:30:14.000 Make sure you check out that episode.
00:30:16.000 Now, look, I don't want to make light of this, but he's in the middle of a well-documented cognitive decline.
00:30:22.000 And there's one other piece of good news, and I think it's a great piece of evidence to show the tale of two Americas.
00:30:27.000 One that is optimistic and forward-thinking, that wants to focus on flourishing and going to new heights, literally and metaphorically, and one that wants to riot and burn and scorch our country.
00:30:39.000 The United States is back in the space game.
00:30:41.000 In a public-private partnership with SpaceX, NASA sent two astronauts, Doug Hurley and Bob Benkin, into space on board Elon Musk's Falcon 9 rocket.
00:30:51.000 Look, it's been multiple decades since a human took off from United States soil on a brand new launch vehicle.
00:30:58.000 This is also the first time anyone has flown to space from an American launch site since the space shuttle program was officially retired in 2011.
00:31:05.000 In 1969, when Apollo 11 launched the first men into space to land on the moon, it was, among other reasons, to gain an advantage against the Soviets in the Cold War.
00:31:13.000 But today, America's in a new Cold War, one that seems to be leading into a very hot war.
00:31:18.000 But it's not with a foreign nation.
00:31:19.000 We are in the kind of Cold War with China, but mostly it's with ourselves.
00:31:23.000 So while this could have been a uniting moment, it barely got any coverage from the media.
00:31:28.000 We know whose side they're on in this war.
00:31:31.000 While we were launching a rocket into space in a public-private partnership, which should have been a moment of celebration, minutes later, on network television, they showed the rocket launch and they went straight to the burning of our inner cities.
00:31:44.000 We, those of us that believe in reason and decency and history, civility, civilization, Western society, logic, facts, we're trying to go to new heights.
00:31:55.000 We're trying to build something new.
00:31:57.000 But remember, the left has never built anything.
00:31:59.000 The left destroys everything it touches.
00:32:01.000 The left is a force of locust on society.
00:32:04.000 The left is a corrosive influence on all cultures.
00:32:06.000 They destroyed the Soviet Union and Russia.
00:32:08.000 They destroyed China.
00:32:09.000 They destroyed Southeast Asia.
00:32:11.000 They destroyed the Korean Peninsula.
00:32:12.000 They destroyed Rhodesia.
00:32:14.000 Everything the left touches, they destroyed.
00:32:15.000 They destroyed Cuba.
00:32:16.000 They destroyed Venezuela.
00:32:17.000 They destroyed Argentina.
00:32:19.000 We are the builders.
00:32:20.000 And I don't even mean conservatives.
00:32:22.000 I mean those of us that believe in reason and facts and logic and history and perspective.
00:32:26.000 The America that wants to go higher, that wants to get to something new, that's the America we must reclaim and strengthen.
00:32:32.000 That's the America that I believe in.
00:32:35.000 That's the America I fight for every single day on the Charlie Kirkstring.
00:32:37.000 That's the America I'm afraid that we are losing rapidly and quicker than any other time in our country's history from within.
00:32:45.000 We will grow stronger if we refasten our commitment to breach into the unknown, to create what's never been done before, to take massive risk, to go to the stars literally and metaphorically and figuratively while the other side wants to burn down buildings.
00:32:59.000 I can't think of a better example that you can use with your friends.
00:33:03.000 I can't think of a better example where you can turn to someone you know and you say, while those of us that love our country, not political, we were going to the stars trying to create something new and go to the unknown, that frontier spirit, while the other side, the unreasonable, the mob, the swarm, the horde, the unthankful, was literally burning, looting, stealing televisions, and murdering black police officers.
00:33:27.000 That is the tale of two separate countries.
00:33:31.000 I want the country that wants to go to space, that doesn't ignore our problems, but instead tries to fix them, that doesn't try to burn down our history, but acknowledge it and tries to learn from it.
00:33:43.000 That doesn't try to tear down our statues, but tries to understand it and recognizes bad things that were done by people that came in our country before, but understands that America has made mistakes, but America is not a mistake.
00:33:55.000 Understand that America's downfalls are universal, but our positives are unique.
00:34:01.000 We are the most generous, benevolent, greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:34:06.000 We are the greatest hope of humanity.
00:34:08.000 Our country, our flag that J.J. Watt and Baker Mayfield want to kneel for, that flag embodies the pursuit of greatness, not the apology for something that happened 100 years ago.
00:34:19.000 That flag embodies us going into the Korean Peninsula and pushing back communism so South Korea can exist.
00:34:24.000 That flag represents the defeat of the Soviet Union, the Nazis, Mussolini, and hopefully eventually Mao's China, Pol Pot.
00:34:33.000 That represents the liberation of billions of people.
00:34:36.000 That flag, which the left now wants to burn, protest, delete, and kneel for, embodies a spirit of going into the unknown.
00:34:48.000 It also represents all the lives that were lost to protect your freedom to be foolish.
00:34:54.000 It represents all the lives that were lost so Baker Mayfield can go take a knee while being paid millions of dollars saying that there's oppression in our country while he has mostly black teammates that are all making millions of dollars.
00:35:06.000 The continual focus on the boogeyman of oppression, the oppression Olympics, the apology tour rooted in anger and resentment will put us in a bitter place of civil conflict.
00:35:19.000 Instead, the philosophy of Elon Musk, to go further, to go upwards, to go into the unknown, while the country is burning, that is the greatest dichotomy I can imagine.
00:35:30.000 Remember Philippians 4, 8, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think on these things.
00:35:39.000 America is excellent and praiseworthy.
00:35:42.000 America is admirable.
00:35:44.000 It's not perfect.
00:35:46.000 Paul did not say what is perfect.
00:35:49.000 Remember, he starts with whatever is true.
00:35:51.000 What is he really saying there?
00:35:52.000 Christ is truth.
00:35:54.000 Christianity is the only religion where the Savior.
00:35:57.000 We're the most important figure in the religion doesn't say true things, but is truth.
00:36:02.000 Huge difference.
00:36:02.000 Alpha and Omega.
00:36:04.000 What does that really mean?
00:36:04.000 Beginning and end.
00:36:05.000 What it actually means is that everything Christ said is everything humanity ever needs to hear.
00:36:10.000 Love your neighbor.
00:36:11.000 Put other people before you.
00:36:13.000 How to operate, how to act.
00:36:15.000 It's not enough just to do good things, but surrender yourself to Christ.
00:36:18.000 That is the good news of the gospel, and it can make your life completely and fundamentally change.
00:36:23.000 And I encourage you to do it today.
00:36:25.000 In fact, I believe that the commitment to Jesus, your Lord and Savior, is a necessary prerequisite to you living a full, committed life here on earth, but also into eternity.
00:36:36.000 Surrender yourself to that.
00:36:37.000 Think on these things.
00:36:39.000 Paul ends that verse with think.
00:36:41.000 The emphasis on thinking, not feeling.
00:36:44.000 Feeling is important.
00:36:45.000 There's plenty of feelings all throughout the Bible.
00:36:47.000 But thinking cognitively.
00:36:49.000 Descartes says, I think, therefore I am.
00:36:52.000 The failure to think, you might not exist.
00:36:54.000 Paul tells us to think on these things.
00:36:56.000 Think what is admirable.
00:36:58.000 Think what is pure.
00:37:00.000 Think what is excellent.
00:37:02.000 Think what is praiseworthy.
00:37:03.000 Those things are America.
00:37:06.000 And the left wants to destroy that every single day.
00:37:09.000 They won't if every person listening to this stands for truth.
00:37:13.000 A few good men and women can save America.
00:37:15.000 We do not need 30%.
00:37:16.000 We don't need 10%.
00:37:18.000 We don't even need 3%.
00:37:19.000 If just 1% of the American population stands up loudly, vocally, confidently, and proudly for the rich history that we have, this country can and will be saved.
00:37:31.000 Think on these things.
00:37:33.000 The peace of God, we will save our country.
