00:01:29.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:08.000Here's a story that I want to get into.
00:02:10.000Before I get into it, the question is, is America ready for what's about to happen on the world stage?
00:02:18.000We were just made for fools in Afghanistan with the Biden regime and their strategy or lack thereof to hand weapons to the Taliban.
00:02:32.000Most likely because of a deal that was done with the Chinese Communist Party and a deal that was done with the Afghan neighbors in China that are now one and the same.
00:02:45.000The Taliban has actually come out and they said, well, we're disappointed with the weapons that were left for us by America.
00:02:57.000You were expecting weapons being left for you.
00:03:00.000Was there some sort of deal that was brokered here?
00:03:05.000This is something that we need a massive investigation into immediately that every single Republican in Congress needs to launch an investigation into why were these left weapons left behind?
00:03:27.000Now, the Chinese Communist Party, they're not joking around.
00:03:32.000And I've said for quite some time, our country is not prepared for the confrontation that is looming against China.
00:03:41.000China has just come out today and they have banned effeminate feminine men from going on television.
00:03:48.000Broadcasters ordered to, quote, resolutely put an end to sissy men and other abnormal aesthetics by the communist broadcast regulator, sissy men.
00:04:00.000So basically, Chris Hayes out of a job.
00:04:06.000Basically, every single man on MSNBC, they would be unemployed in the Wuhan broadcast operation.
00:04:20.000Brian Stelter, we got plenty of other work for you to do in China.
00:04:28.000Now, the question is, why are they doing this?
00:04:30.000Well, a society that wants to be great, like China does, even though they're sinister and they're evil and they're malevolent, you need strong men in order to do so.
00:04:42.000And the Chinese Communist Party knows that American males have become incredibly weak.
00:04:52.000American males spend more time staring at screens playing video games than actually doing meaningful activities.
00:05:01.000So the Chinese party, the Chinese Communist Party has come out and they've said, we are now banning children under 18 from playing video games Monday to Thursday.
00:05:11.000Gaming is now limited for one hour on Friday and Saturday.
00:05:15.000This is a nation that's getting serious.
00:05:18.000This is a nation that wants your children dead and they want Americans imprisoned and they're on pace to do it.
00:05:26.000While American males see testosterone rates plummet, our birth rate decline, our screen time increase, China's doing the opposite.
00:05:35.000China's saying we want less people staring at screens.
00:05:45.000Regulators in China have imposed restrictions on online video gaming.
00:05:50.000They're stopping anybody under the age of 18 from playing more than three hours a week.
00:05:54.000Under 18s have been told they'll only be allowed to access the games between 8 and 9 in the evenings on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, as well as on public holidays.
00:06:03.000The authorities in Beijing say they want to protect the physical and mental health of young people.
00:06:09.000They want to protect the physical and mental health of young people.
00:06:14.000Are our leaders at all concerned about that?
00:06:17.000Well, Tucker Carlson had some very wise commentary, as he often does.
00:06:22.000Cut 87 Tucker on China banning kids from under 18 having video games, limiting to three hours a week, and how the average American kid plays 15 hours a week.
00:06:32.000I'll never forget that my parents refused to get video games for me until I was in high school, and there was a very limited window of time that I was allowed to play video games.
00:06:42.000Instead, it said, go play sports, go make friends, go do something active.
00:06:47.000Instead, parents today don't actually want a parent.
00:06:50.000When I go out to eat, I see children staring at iPads and screens and almost no one talking to one another.
00:06:56.000It's almost we're inviting China to come conquer our country.
00:07:44.000This is what happens when you do not have structured order or a correct framework in place to be able to develop children to pursue virtue with strong character.
00:08:28.000There's no virtue in staring at a screen for 15 hours a day.
00:08:33.000There's no virtue in watching feminine men on television like Biden had that dress-wearing person parade throughout the White House like that's some sort of broadcast of strength.
00:08:49.000Deep down, Americans want a revival back towards traditional gender norms, towards a nation that believes in something that is greater than just momentary materialistic gratification.
00:09:05.000Tucker continues by saying, when was the last time politicians should mention one of these problems?
00:09:09.000And before you say that they should not be making those decisions in our personal lives, remember that they very much are.
00:09:15.000Politicians don't mention things that matter because they actually don't think deeply about what's happening in the country.
00:09:21.000Most Republicans go to DC, they talk about tax cuts, or I'm going to go fight socialism, even though they're willful participants in making America more collectivistic.
00:09:29.000When I could list 15 things that are much more damaging to our nation than the corporate tax rate.
00:09:37.000For example, screen time, obesity rates, drug overdoses, a porous southern border, the Chinese Communist Party propaganding us through TikTok.
00:09:48.000What's interesting is when was the last time you heard one of our political leaders even mention video games or housing market speculation or celebrity worship as a problem?
00:10:02.000Now, before you respond by saying that politicians shouldn't be involved in our personal lives, remember that the CDC already very much is involved in our personal lives.
00:10:11.000So maybe our government could take just a moment from bossing us around to improve our actual lives once in a while.
00:10:24.000And the Chinese Communist Party is recognizing this.
00:10:26.000In fact, the Chinese Communist Party is now going to soon lift the one child policy.
00:10:31.000They know that if they are going to be serious about taking over the world, which is their ambition, they can't have feminine men waltzing on television, making it seem as if that is the norm.
00:10:41.000And they can't have people staring at screens all day long.
00:10:44.000So what are they going to do with their time is what people say.
00:10:47.000They got plenty of land that they want to conquer.
00:10:50.000They want a racial ethno-state where they control the entire planet.
00:10:57.000And this really is the debate that's happening in the conservative movement that people don't want to talk about, which is what is the balance between antiquity and modernity?
00:11:07.000This is what the founding fathers wrestled with as well.
00:11:10.000We're not the first people to say this.
00:11:12.000The problem is that the way that we teach the founding is if they were all enlightenment, all modernity, no respect to antiquity.
00:11:21.000It was that the things that lasted, religion, tradition, order, custom, they're incredibly important.
00:11:30.000But tradition, order, and custom give you the mandate from heaven, divine right of kings, which is why we're so unhappy under King George.
00:11:38.000So how do we honor that which is beautiful and embrace the new thinking of the Enlightenment, the fruits of the Enlightenment that are positive, freedom of speech, association, religious liberty, private property rights, commerce, and create a society where those two things are in tension, where you can have a productive society, but you are not progressing past the anchor that keeps you from descending into chaos.
00:12:07.000China is wrestling with this, and China is able to wrestle with it easier because they're an authoritarian regime.
00:12:13.000So they just say something and then it gets done.
00:12:15.000This is one of the difficulties with dealing with the democratic processes and that in order to get rid of video games in America, which would never happen, of course, it'd be actual riots in the streets.
00:12:27.000It would make Floyd a Palooza look like a little hiccup.
00:12:31.000If we got rid of video games, the country would burn.
00:12:35.000And I'm not even recommending or suggesting we get rid of all video games.
00:12:40.000I'm saying it's damaging to the degree it has dominated American life and especially the development of young people.
00:12:51.000But if we as a conservative movement are nothing more than the defenders of everything in modernity and never trying to preserve the tradition of antiquity, then we're just liberals who call ourselves conservatives.
00:13:35.000To allow people to have the freedom to kind of waltz on television and wear dresses as men, we're not doing that.
00:13:46.000Also out today, China is our most important partner, says Taliban spokesperson Zabu Allah Mujadid on the prospect of Afghanistan becoming the new Silk Road initiative.
00:13:59.000In fact, Israel has just announced that the Israeli government is doing a partnership with the Chinese Communist Party and opening up a new port.
00:14:09.000China's on pace to take over the world, not to mention they released the bioweapon from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, either intentionally or unintentionally, and they will never be held accountable to that.
00:14:20.000They'll never be held accountable because they successfully infiltrated every single level of business in America, academia, so on and so forth.
00:14:38.000We're not going to allow that to happen.
00:14:42.000This is a provocative take, but it's something worth wrestling for.
00:14:47.000If you allow people to do whatever they want, whenever they want to do it with no restraints or being anchored to moral goods, you get the opposite of freedom.
00:15:00.000Charlie Kirk here, and I've warned you about home title theft, where cyber thieves remove you from your home's title and you become the owner.
00:15:07.000I said you better get home title locked because it's coming.
00:15:09.000Well, if you're on Facebook, that big breach is here.
00:15:11.000Facebook had 500 million accounts exposed to cyber thieves.
00:15:15.000And according to a retired FBI cybercrime expert, everything thieves need to take over as the new owner of your home was leaked.
00:15:20.000Name, address, personal information, it's out there.
00:15:23.000The thief forges your signature on a quit claim deed stating you sold your home to him.
00:15:27.000He'll leave you in debt or he'll even have you evicted.
00:15:30.000Do what I did and protect your home's title with home title lock.
00:15:33.000Go to hometitalock.com and register your address to see if you're already a victim.
00:15:37.000Then sign up for 30 free days of protection during this high-risk breach.
00:15:40.000Then sign up for 30 free days of protection.
00:15:42.000Again, home titlelock.com, promo code radio.
00:15:45.000That's home titlelock.com, promo code radio.
00:15:51.000Education comes from the Latin word to lead forth, which comes from the allegory of the cave, where Socrates told a story in Plato's Republic, I'm pretty sure, of people that were captive in a cave watching a simulation and leading them forth out of confusion and into this out of the simulation and into enlightenment.
00:16:13.000Education is supposed to lead people towards strong character.
00:16:20.000So we've been calling on this program for quite some time for a homeschooling revolution, saying that we need to double the homeschooling population in America and we need to do it quickly.
00:16:32.000Well, Axios had just come out with an article saying homeschooling reaches critical mass.
00:16:37.000The number of U.S. kids who are homeschooled has nearly doubled during the pandemic.
00:16:48.000America's surprising right turn attributed to homeschooling influx during Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
00:16:56.00030 years from now, America's surprising and shocking right turn will be attributable to parents pulling their kids out of the government-run system and into their homes to educate them.
00:17:09.000This is why we've partnered with Hillsdale College, Charlie F.O.R. Hillsdale.com, if you guys want to check it out.
00:17:14.000And what's amazing is that 2.6 million kids have switched from traditional school to homeschooling.
00:17:21.000And if you have not pulled your kids out of the school system, I encourage you to do it.
00:17:43.0009.1% of white families have pulled their kids out of traditional education, but 12.1% of Hispanic families have pulled their kids out.
00:17:54.000And 8.8% of Asian families and 16.1% of black families.
00:18:01.000That's going to create a more conservative black population.
00:18:06.000And the reasons they're giving are somewhat varied, but mostly they're fed up.
00:18:11.000They're fed up with critical race theory, fed up with vaccine mandates, wearing a mask all day long.
00:18:18.000On top of this, families who have pivoted to homeschooling, reading from axios.com, there are millions more who have moved their kids from public school to private school.
00:18:30.000And so if we as conservatives are serious about saving the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world, if we're serious about pushing back against the Chinese Communist Party that is basically outlawing video games and outlawing sissy men on television, their term, then we need to double the homeschooling population again and we need to make it financially easier to do so.
00:18:54.000You want to know a reason why to pull your kids out of government schools?
00:19:12.000And we're also not going to reproduce what's understood as American exceptionalism.
00:19:17.000This understanding that America is a land at the top of a beautiful mountain and that all other countries, nations, and people are less than America.
00:19:28.000We're not going to reproduce notions that American history and American experiences are more significant than the experiences or histories of other people.
00:19:38.000So if you go to Virginia Public Schools, the Virginia Department of Education, we're not going to teach you that America is a great country and an exceptional country.
00:19:46.000We're going to say we're just as evil as rotten as everyone else.
00:19:49.000There's nothing exceptional about the United States of America that made a 5,000-year leap to be able to say that we are going to have self-government based on natural rights, independent judiciary, checks and balances, and consent to the government.
00:20:00.000There's nothing exceptional about that.
00:20:03.000Take your kids out of the government school system.
00:20:06.000If you can't do that, then just take an hour a week with charlieforhillsdale.com and teach your kids in addition to the garbage they're getting in the government schools.
00:20:14.000There are resources available for you to make this happen.
00:20:18.000Nothing is more important than your relationship with God than the future of your children.
00:20:23.000And I'm happy to say that trend is heading in the right direction and it has the other side nervous.
00:20:29.000A lot of people ask me, Charlie, how do you know so much about American history?
00:22:13.000They have a whole course on theology 101.
00:22:16.000How about on the Greek wars, Athens and Sparta, Winston Churchill and statesmanship?
00:22:21.000These are free of charge, amazingly rigorous courses that will get you to appreciate the country, what it means to be a human being, where our rights come from at k12.hillsdale.edu.
00:22:38.000Hillsdale, we are so honored to partner with them on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:22:42.000Our children deserve to be taught the truth through a sound curriculum created by teachers, not bureaucrats, and uphold the dignity of each individual.
00:22:51.000So download the 1776 curriculum right now, and you yourself should at least carve out 20 minutes a day to try and learn something new.
00:24:13.000Thank you for your service to our great country.
00:24:16.000Look, the problem with what's happening in Afghanistan is the way we got out with no conditions at all whatsoever.
00:24:25.000And the strategy of the current government and the regime of the United States is somehow putting forward a moral equivalent of the Taliban who kill Christians and rip out their tongues, subjugate women, marry teenagers with any of our other allies or partners around the world.
00:24:48.000This was done because Joe Biden wanted to say on September 11th that he ended the war.
00:24:54.000Now, that sounds good, but anyone who has ever been in consequential decision-making knows that you do not start with this desired object of the photo op and work backwards.
00:25:05.000You see, Joe Biden had photo op foreign policy.
00:25:09.000He wanted to be able to have a photo op at 9-11 and hang a wreath there and say, I ended the war.
00:25:19.000The point is that he started with what he thought was the political win and then tried to craft the circumstances on the ground to fit that political win.
00:25:29.000And in reality, it should be the exact opposite.
00:25:31.000He said, what's happening on the ground?
00:25:32.000And so now I'm watching video of people wearing American fatigues and uniforms with our weapons that are Taliban with our night vision goggles walking through airports, walking down the street.
00:25:46.000And we gave these weapons voluntarily.
00:25:59.000But what a disaster and a humiliation for what just happened in Afghanistan of so many Americans that sacrificed so much.
00:26:08.000And then we hand over weapons and money, $85 billion in weapons to the Taliban who killed Americans and that we were at war with for many years.
00:27:02.000When that month was up, he put the brakes on and said, oh, no, we can't do any of that because of COVID.
00:27:09.000And I just wanted to get your take on that.
00:27:12.000Well, first, thank you so much for your call and thank you for that verse.
00:27:15.000And so, look, I use the model for the pastors of how you should run a church.
00:27:22.000Rob McCoy, Jack Hibbs, James Cadiz, Joe Pettick, Pastor Juergen, Pastor Frank Ramseur from Chattanooga, Ken Graves, Pastor Cody from Grand Rapids.
00:27:33.000These are amazing pastors that have been engaged in the community and they have been feeding the hungry.
00:27:42.000They have been tenderly looking after the disadvantaged in their community while also proclaiming moral truth from the scriptures and not allowing secular narratives to seep into the church and also saying to their congregation, here is what is right and here's what is wrong.
00:27:57.000It says in the scriptures to love what is good and hate what is evil.
00:28:01.000You see, Friedrich Nietzsche, who basically was the beginning of the postmodern movement, he wrote a book called Beyond Good and Evil.
00:28:13.000He was a German who literally lost his mind later in life.
00:28:17.000If you do not know who Friedrich Nietzsche is, do not send your child to college because your child will know who Nietzsche is.
00:28:24.000Now, Nietzsche wasn't wrong about everything.
00:28:27.000Some of his conclusions were horrific.
00:28:30.000But where Nietzsche went terribly wrong was where he said, he famously, he didn't proclaim this, but he stated in one of his writings, it was actually a fictional narrative, that God is dead.
00:28:42.000That's where that phrase came from, from Friedrich Nietzsche.
00:28:45.000Now, he wasn't actually celebrating it.
00:28:48.000Actually, a lot of people think that Nietzsche wanted God to be dead.
00:28:50.000He said, the West is not going to know what to do with itself as soon as it removes God and it removes the purpose that it gives for people's existence.
00:28:59.000And so he said, therefore, we need to replace that with the idea of creating the Superman.
00:29:06.000The idea of the Superman came from Friedrich Nietzsche.
00:29:08.000It's called the Ãœbermensch, Das Ãœbermensch in German.
00:29:13.000And he had this belief that we cannot know objectively what is good or what is evil.
00:29:18.000That's what he wrote in the book, Beyond Good and Evil.
00:29:20.000And so if pastors are silent and churches are not involved in that, who is going to be proclaiming what is good and evil?
00:29:28.000You're going to all of a sudden trust the CDC?
00:29:30.000You see, if you trust scientists to give you the idea of morality, you will end up with eugenics.
00:29:37.000You see, science is a helpful tool to be able to understand how to navigate the natural world.
00:29:43.000Science is unhelpful when it comes to what to do with the tools in the natural world.
00:30:07.000That is why there are ethics boards that govern doctors to say, you know what, you're actually not allowed to turn away smokers.
00:30:13.000Even though you might not like the decisions they're making, you have to accept everybody.
00:30:17.000But doctors, because we've designed our entire current political system and medical establishment around this idea of yielding to the credentialocracy, the credentialocracy, or if you have a credential, you're somehow more self-you're more important than just anybody else.
00:30:35.000It lends itself to this idea that we are now allowed to be the moral referees of the entire society.
00:30:45.000So the significance of that is without the church, without the word, or without scriptures saying what is good and what is evil, saying, you know what?
00:30:56.000No, no one should be turned away from a doctor's office.
00:31:00.000That is the first principle, by the way, of if you go to a hospital, you go to a doctor's office, they know that and they repeat it time and time again.
00:31:09.000We're seeing that change because not only have we engaged in a hyper-scientific way of governing ourselves, we have now embraced scientific morality, which is if you don't take the medicine we like, we're not going to treat you.
00:31:22.000That if you don't, if you don't make the lifestyle choices that we choose, you're not going to have your life saved.
00:31:28.000Ezekiel Emmanuel, one of the original architects of Obamacare, he argued for this.
00:31:33.000He argued that we need to have death panels to determine whether or not you made good decisions in your life.
00:31:40.000And if you made good decisions, then we might give you some care.
00:31:43.000And if not, we're going to kind of put you out to pass.
00:31:46.000Cass Sunstein wrote this in the book called Nudge, famous Harvard Malthusian philosopher and professor who was embraced by the Obama regime.
00:32:13.000One of the most radical plans to reshape the future of America is happening right now, and we need to stop it.
00:32:20.000President Biden's plan to pack the U.S. Supreme Court back in April, the president launched a special judicial commission to what he calls reform the court.
00:32:28.000But the real plan is to install four more liberal justices to gain a, quote, automatic majority and ensure favorable rulings for his most radical policies.
00:32:37.000And once the court is packed, it will end the rule of law as we know it, which is exactly what happened in Venezuela and Argentina.
00:34:09.000And wonderful, Battle Lake, Minnesota.
00:34:12.000My parents are phenomenal, and they were never propagandists, and they were never pushing a specific political agenda, but there were a couple things that were always reinforced with how we talked about politics and matters of the eternal, which is always questioning, but saying that we are thankful to be American.
00:34:39.000One of the first things my parents taught me was geography, understanding our physical place in the world.
00:34:58.000What are the capitals across the world?
00:35:00.000Those things are very important for people to know.
00:35:04.000Number two, my parents would always tell me that America is the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world, a nation that has embraced self-government, that understands natural rights, that has the independent judiciary, and then appreciating the history behind it.
00:35:17.000But anytime that I would kind of spout out anything that would be conservative, my parents would say, well, why do you believe that?
00:35:26.000And then finally, I grew up in a country, I grew up in a culture that embraced and loved entrepreneurship, starting something from nothing, that knew that risk-taking should be rewarded and the creation of new things is what keeps a society vibrant.
00:35:44.000It keeps the society ambitious in a good way and keeps a society full of life with vitality.
00:35:53.000This is something that we have lost, I think, in some cities across the country in recent years.
00:35:58.000And so, but the thing that I tell parents all the time, and that's why we've partnered with Hillsdale, charlieforhillsdale.com, charlieforhillsdale.com, is you need to know your stuff so that you can teach your children.
00:36:11.000You have to know the difference between Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.
00:36:15.000Instead of spending three hours Netflix binging whatever latest show there is, spend an hour and go through two Hillsdale courses on the Federalist Papers.
00:36:29.000And then you'll be able to challenge your children when they come back from a government school with some sort of line of propaganda about how the founders were all racist.
00:36:43.000Article 6 of the Northwest Ordinance was abolish slavery in the new territories, the first act of Congress that was passed unanimously by slaveholding states and free states.
00:36:52.000That's not a country that's founded on slavery.
