00:01:10.000 Here we go.

00:01:11.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:12.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:01:14.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:18.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:21.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:22.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:23.000 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.

00:01:32.000 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.

00:01:40.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:43.000 So in case you forgot, with all the burning, the looting, the rioting, the protesting, the potential for more lockdowns and shutdowns, there's also still an election going on.

00:01:52.000 It's a presidential election year.

00:01:52.000 That's right.

00:01:54.000 Let's talk about the election.

00:01:55.000 I mean, we've been talking about so much happening right now in the cities of our country and the Chinese coronavirus and how corporations are capitulating to far left-wing social justice causes.

00:02:07.000 Let's actually talk about the election.

00:02:08.000 So Joe Biden is making a huge play for Florida.

00:02:11.000 It's putting Trump on defense in his own backyard, which is technically now his home state.

00:02:16.000 And now this is a must-win state for the White House.

00:02:19.000 Now, part of the strategy is around Val Demings, who's a Florida representative who's a potential running mate for Joe Biden.

00:02:26.000 So Joe Biden can purportedly make a big play from his basement.

00:02:30.000 I am not really sure how that's working.

00:02:32.000 I think every day Joe Biden comes out of his basement and he asks, am I president yet?

00:02:37.000 Am I president yet?

00:02:38.000 It's kind of like Groundhog Day, but it's much more depressing.

00:02:41.000 So look, the big play in Florida is based solely on fear-mongering about a, quote, second wave of the Chinese coronavirus and the need for a, quote, real leader.

00:02:50.000 Now, President Trump, of course, won Florida in 2016 by over 100,000 votes.

00:02:55.000 I remember tracking county by county.

00:02:58.000 I took personal time off from Turning Point USA.

00:03:00.000 I volunteered with the campaign.

00:03:01.000 I traveled the country with Donald Trump Jr.

00:03:03.000 I was monitoring a lot of the counties as they were coming in in the state of Florida.

00:03:07.000 And I remember watching Miami-Dade County, Palm Beach County, Pinellas County very carefully, Longboat, Key Area, which I know quite well, Sarasota, Naples, and also the Panhandle.

00:03:18.000 And as soon as I saw that the number differentials in those counties were not the typical Democrat-Republican split and the Panhandle had not yet reported, I said, Donald Trump's going to win the White House because I was also simultaneously monitoring a lot of the counties in Michigan and Wisconsin.

00:03:33.000 We have to realize that we have an electoral college, but even beyond that, we have an electoral county model because a lot of these counties are actually the ones that are the swing counties.

00:03:41.000 And even when the counties, there's townships or precincts that are going to make or break the entire trajectory of Western society and civilization.

00:03:48.000 So it's really interesting to think that certain neighborhoods, that certain city blocks are actually going to determine the future of America.

00:03:55.000 Now, President Trump won Florida by 100,000 votes, but Biden thinks he can reclaim Florida like Obama did in 08 in 2012.

00:04:03.000 So here's some bad news about Florida, and here's some good news about Florida.

00:04:06.000 Let's start with the bad news.

00:04:07.000 The recent poll, which again, I don't take these polls that seriously.

00:04:10.000 I don't think they're all completely incorrect, but I think that they could be mostly incorrect.

00:04:16.000 And they also don't factor in turnout.

00:04:18.000 They're also just a snapshot in time.

00:04:19.000 We have to understand that President Trump has been under incredible duress from the media.

00:04:25.000 And I don't want to say that he's under duress.

00:04:27.000 Let's say he's under attack.

00:04:28.000 I think that's probably a more fair way to say it.

00:04:31.000 But look, Joe Biden, he thinks that he can win back Florida.

00:04:34.000 But the bad news for Joe Biden is that Florida, in the whole alleged Democrat wave that happened in 2018, Florida remained strong.

00:04:41.000 Ron DeSantis still won Florida.

00:04:43.000 Senator Rick Scott still won the Senate seat, and he did a very difficult thing, which is to beat an incumbent Democrat senator, Senator Nelson.

00:04:52.000 So Florida has been trending ever so slightly in the center-right direction.

00:04:57.000 But Joe Biden thinks he can win.

00:04:58.000 So one of these polls has Joe Biden at 50%, Trump at 43% in the state of Florida.

00:05:04.000 In Arizona, it has Biden up one, Biden 45%, Trump 44%.

00:05:08.000 That's actually a pretty promising poll.

00:05:10.000 The fact that Biden is only winning by one in Arizona, according to the CNBC change research poll, is a huge, actually really, really positive for Trump.

00:05:21.000 And because I'll tell you right now, that we're supposed to believe that Arizona is upside down and backwards.

00:05:27.000 That differential, I'll take completely.

00:05:30.000 That does not factor in Trump enthusiasm.

00:05:32.000 That does not take the Trump surge.

00:05:34.000 That does not take into effect the Trump surge that is assuredly going to happen in the last two weeks where Trump is able to get a clear and convincing message and define his opponent.

00:05:42.000 That doesn't count all the ad money that's going to be spent or the ground game, the rallies, all that.

00:05:46.000 So the fact that Trump's within one point in Arizona is I'll take that any day.

00:05:50.000 Now, he should be up.

00:05:51.000 I mean, Arizona shouldn't be contested, but having spent a lot of time in Arizona, Turning Point USA, our 501c3 educational charity, is headquartered in Arizona, our podcast.

00:06:00.000 We do a lot of our podcasts out of Arizona.

00:06:02.000 We're hosting the president of the United States actually coming up on Tuesday from our 501c4 in Arizona.

00:06:10.000 You guys can come check that out at Trumpstudents.org.

00:06:12.000 If you're anywhere in the southwest, you want to come hear the president speak.

00:06:15.000 We have him coming in Phoenix, Arizona on June 23rd in Arizona.

00:06:18.000 So I know the state of Arizona pretty well.

00:06:20.000 And the fact that this polling, which is probably tilted a little bit over sampling Democrats within one point, I'll take it.

00:06:26.000 Now, this Florida poll, not great, not going to lie, down seven.

00:06:30.000 Again, I don't necessarily believe it, but that does go to show I think that Trump has a Florida focus that needs to happen, that Trump needs to focus on Florida more than not.

00:06:39.000 And I will say that the trend lines have been moving in the general direction that are not favorable to Trump.

00:06:48.000 They've been going in the wrong direction in Florida.

00:06:49.000 Now, interestingly enough, Michigan, according to the CNBC research poll, is that Trump's within two points of Biden.

00:06:56.000 I think that's great.

00:06:57.000 The fact that Trump's in two points, I mean, some of the tracking polls for Trump had Trump down in the state of Michigan going right into the last days with Hillary Clinton.

00:07:05.000 And I think so, look, some polls have him down 16 points in Michigan.

00:07:08.000 I don't believe that for a second.

00:07:10.000 And North Carolina has Biden up two.

00:07:12.000 But again, this doesn't factor in so many different things.

00:07:15.000 Voter registration, voter turnout, voter modeling, late breakers, the base turning out.

00:07:19.000 And we have to understand that if we were probably to accept, you don't want to say that this is completely going to be the case, but I think this is generally true.

00:07:27.000 This will probably be the lowest point of Trump's approval rating presidency.

00:07:31.000 I mean, I can't think of a scenario, and maybe one will happen in the next couple months, where Trump has been under attack with so many things he cannot control happening around him.

00:07:41.000 I mean, you talk about having the riots, the issue around police, law enforcement, the lockdowns, the less than favorable economic climate, him having to play defense on issues that are not his particular preferred issues.

00:07:55.000 So if you sort of this is a baseline, if you say, hey, you know, Trump is down two points in Michigan as a baseline, I'll take it.

00:08:03.000 Trump is down one point in Arizona as a baseline.

00:08:05.000 Understand that Republicans are late-breaking voters.

00:08:08.000 A Democrat base is pretty much built in.

00:08:10.000 It is almost guaranteed.

00:08:12.000 Trump's entire path to victory is a path of persuasion on top of a path of building and motivating a base that needs to come out and turn out in record numbers.

00:08:22.000 And I also, a lot of the pollsters, I think, get wrong the way that they sample Trump supporters.

00:08:27.000 A lot of Trump supporters are not likely to participate in polls.

00:08:30.000 We saw this in 2016.

00:08:32.000 Now, also in 2016, I was one of the people that actually accurately predicted.

00:08:36.000 You can go back into my tweet where I published it.

00:08:40.000 I got under such repudiation and condemnation from the intelligentsi when I said Donald Trump was going to win.

00:08:45.000 Now, I didn't get the entire map correctly, but I said that Donald Trump was going to win Michigan.

00:08:49.000 I had that.

00:08:50.000 I went to 2702win.com.

00:08:52.000 I filled it in correctly.

00:08:53.000 Now, I did this because I was actually spending a lot of time in Michigan.

00:08:56.000 I spoke to human beings in Michigan.

00:08:58.000 I saw something happening in Michigan that was so special, unlike anything I had experienced in my short career in politics leading up to that.

00:09:05.000 But most importantly, I looked at the crosstabs and I looked at how they were tabulating the polling.

00:09:10.000 And the polling that they were doing in Michigan, similar to how a lot of these experts have been wrong about so much in the last couple of months and so much in the last couple of years, they said that they had Donald Trump losing the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

00:09:22.000 And anyone who's been in the Midwest, like I have, and knows what the Upper Peninsula of Michigan actually is.

00:09:29.000 So just so you know, Michigan is like a Mitt, not like Mitt Romney, his family is from Michigan.

00:09:34.000 But if you put up your hand, that's basically the map of Michigan.

00:09:37.000 Okay, it's an old joke and you ask people, where do you live in Michigan?

00:09:40.000 But there's actually an entire part of Michigan that people don't always talk about, which is called the Upper Peninsula, which is actually contiguous with the northern part of Wisconsin.

00:09:49.000 This is basically like Alabama near Canada.

00:09:52.000 It is the most conservative part of the entire Midwest.

00:09:55.000 I mean, I think it's a requirement to live in the Upper Peninsula for you to have a firearm.

00:10:00.000 I mean, there's some amazing parts.

00:10:02.000 There's Marquette, Sault Ste. Marie.

00:10:04.000 I have some friends that have been from there.

00:10:06.000 These are people that generally are very, very pro Donald Trump's message.

00:10:11.000 They're very pro-Second Amendment, pro-individual initiative, pro-America.

00:10:17.000 The fact that the crosstabs in 2016 said that Donald Trump was going to lose the Upper Peninsula, and the statewide polling had Trump within the margin of error.

00:10:27.000 I said Donald Trump's going to win the state of Michigan.

00:10:28.000 There's no way.

00:10:29.000 And actually, it came out on election day.

00:10:32.000 He won the Upper Peninsula by a massive margin.

00:10:35.000 And so if you go into the crosstab, sometimes they're just not sampling parts of the state correctly.

00:10:41.000 The people that are able to get on the phone from those states are not indicative of how counties make up a broader complexion of an entire state.

00:10:49.000 And so pollsters are supposed to factor that in, but sometimes they're under a lot of pressure.

00:10:53.000 Sometimes they're under deadlines to get polling published.

00:10:56.000 And they're not always able to get accurate sampling sizes of certain parts of the state.

00:11:00.000 And that's understandable, but I also think that there are suppression polls.

00:11:03.000 So right now, the RCP average has Joe Biden up eight and a half points over Donald Trump, 50 to 41%.

00:11:08.000 So look, I'm not going to say that's a good thing.

00:11:11.000 I mean, I don't necessarily believe it's that poll right now.

00:11:15.000 I don't believe it's that margin right now.

00:11:16.000 I think I've talked to some people that are in the polling industry, and I've seen some people on cable television that have said that the internal polls on both campaigns show it much tighter than that.

00:11:27.000 But let's say that Donald Trump is down right now.

00:11:29.000 It's understandable.

00:11:30.000 The news cycle has been so disfavorable for what Trump wants to achieve and what he's trying to convey to the American people.

00:11:37.000 We understand that we have some ground to make up, but it's not as bad as I think people are making it seem.

00:11:42.000 But a poll in Minnesota had Trump down only five.

00:11:45.000 And this was all before the riots and the destruction.

00:11:48.000 The state is in play.

00:11:49.000 And look, yesterday we went over a bunch of points that explained why there is a reason for hope.

00:11:54.000 And we covered the idea of suppression polls.

00:11:56.000 And I encourage you to go back and check out that podcast.

00:11:59.000 It was very in-depth of how these polls are actually done.

00:12:01.000 But what if the polls are right?

00:12:03.000 What does Trump have to do to actually correct course?

00:12:05.000 But let's pretend that the polls are half right.

00:12:07.000 Let's say that instead of being down 13 points in Michigan or instead of being down 16 points in Michigan or instead of being down two points in North Carolina, let's just cut it all in half.

00:12:15.000 Okay, let's pretend that he has some margin to make up.

00:12:18.000 Well, then what?

00:12:18.000 Well, first of all, rallies are imperative.

00:12:20.000 I think that President Trump is the best offensive political player in modern American history.

00:12:26.000 He's the best person that goes on offense.

00:12:28.000 He is not Dennis Rodman.

00:12:30.000 Okay, he's not very good at playing defense.

00:12:31.000 He's not good at locking down the Democrats.

00:12:33.000 Instead, he's good at putting them on defense.

00:12:36.000 He's good at making them play on the terms of engagement of his agenda, his doctrine, like I articulated in my book, MAGA Doctrine.

00:12:44.000 Secondly, the Democrats and the media, they are dictating the entire rules of engagement.

00:12:48.000 They're saying these are the issues that you have to talk about.

00:12:51.000 These are the executive orders you have to sign.

00:12:53.000 And here are the things that you must communicate.

00:12:55.000 So look, today Jim Acosta tried to peddle this lie to Kaylee McNaney, who we've had on Charlie Kirk Show.

00:13:00.000 I encourage you to go back and listen to that episode.

00:13:02.000 And she absolutely ran circles around him on the hypocrisy, play tape.

00:13:06.000 Kaylee, in the last day, 96 people in Tulsa have contracted the coronavirus wondering about this rally coming up on Saturday.

00:13:15.000 Will the president or the White House take responsibility if people get sick and catch the coronavirus at this rally on Saturday?

00:13:22.000 So the campaign has taken certain measures to make sure this is a safe rally, temperature checks, hand sanitizers, and masks.

00:13:29.000 So we are taking precautions.

00:13:30.000 But you're not requiring people to wear masks.

00:13:32.000 They will be given a mask.

00:13:33.000 It's up to them whether to make that decision.

00:13:35.000 CDC guidelines are recommended, but not required.

00:13:38.000 CDC guidelines suggest that people practice social distancing.

00:13:43.000 You're not going to be able to practice social distancing in a rally with thousands of people.

00:13:47.000 So aren't you, in essence, bringing people to a rally where they won't be abiding by those guidelines.

00:13:54.000 It's the personal choice of individuals as to what to do.

00:13:57.000 But if we want to talk about internal coherence, I believe that the media needs to work on internal coherence.

00:14:03.000 This wonderful New York Post story, I don't think Stephen Nelson is here, but good job to the New York Post, highlights the hypocrisy of the media where this is okay protesting.

00:14:14.000 This is not okay.

00:14:15.000 Trump rallies.

00:14:16.000 It's really remarkable.

00:14:17.000 And I think the American people have taken notice when, for instance, NBC tweets at 4.05 p.m. on June 14th, rally for black trans lives draws packed crowds to Brooklyn Museum Plaza, seeming to be lauding the protest.

00:14:30.000 And then less than an hour and a half later, they say President Trump plans to rally, but health experts are questioning that decision.

00:14:36.000 CBS had a similar logically inconsistent tweet. 0.54

00:14:40.000 So look, here's the real beauty from the alleged conservative Jennifer Rubin, who is she just play acts a conservative.

00:14:46.000 It's rather humorous at this point.

00:14:48.000 And it was published in the Washington Post.

00:14:50.000 She said, Trump is acting like he doesn't care if people die.

00:14:53.000 Again, it's so baseless.

00:14:56.000 It's wrong. 0.96

00:14:57.000 It's silly. 0.93

00:14:58.000 And it's really pernicious, to be honest with you. 0.97

00:15:00.000 And she said this.

00:15:00.000 Honestly, do they care about the lives of their supporters?

00:15:02.000 It's a legitimate question since they're doing everything possible to put people at risk.

00:15:06.000 And for what?

00:15:07.000 A rally in a safe state?

00:15:08.000 Trump's narcissism prevents him from considering the interests of others, even if the damage to them is grave and the benefit is minimal.

00:15:14.000 So Rubin continued by saying, Republicans lamely make the false equivalence that this is no different from the rallies in the protest of George Floyd's killing.

00:15:22.000 No, it's not the same.

00:15:23.000 The rallies were outside, and many protesters wore a mask.

00:15:26.000 The cause was a spur action to save lives.

00:15:28.000 That's Jennifer Rubin, the alleged conservative from the Washington Post.

00:15:32.000 Reminder, just like Kaylee said, everyone who enters the rally will be given a mask and has an option to wear it.

00:15:38.000 And as Devin Nunez pointed out in our sister episode that drops today, which I really encourage you to check out, a lot of these masks worn by protesters and rioters are no more than a thin sheet of cloth.

00:15:51.000 More intended to shield their identity or match their design or outfit than protect themselves from the virus.

00:15:58.000 Jennifer Rubin, you're the worst. 0.63

00:16:02.000 I don't know why you call yourself a conservative. 0.99

00:16:05.000 In fact, you might be the affirmative action hire at the Washington Post, but you're awful.

00:16:10.000 But even beyond the rallies, economic indicators are pointing in the correct and right direction for a perfectly timed V-shaped recovery, which bodes really well for the president's reelection. 0.97

00:16:22.000 But how can we beat a confused, corrupt, somewhat mentally crippled, codgerly person named Joe Biden? 0.64

00:16:30.000 I've been saying it for months now. 0.97

00:16:31.000 We have to play offense as a party, not just the president.

00:16:35.000 The proactive police reform measures are a very good place to start.

00:16:39.000 Now's the time to make a push for school choice for black kids.

00:16:44.000 Five words that can win the president re-election.

00:16:47.000 So look, you put the Democrats on the record opposing opportunity for those kids' future.

00:16:53.000 You make them put their kente cloth where their mouth is and prove that black lives really do matter to them.

00:16:59.000 So look, there's a lot of polls out there that might make you kind of depressed of the direction that the election is going. 0.85

00:17:05.000 But there's so much political conversation and so much ground that has left to be determined of where it's going to go.

00:17:13.000 And it is my opinion that the president is still in a very good position to win this election.

00:17:19.000 Joe Biden, right now, as being the person that's ahead in the polls, feels a lot like Hillary Clinton in 2016, having clear and convincing and persuasive arguments to the American people as to why four more years are essential and necessary and to put the Democrats on defense again.

00:17:35.000 Now, President Trump just signed a police reform measure, but before I get into that, I want to tell you about our friends at PCMatic.

00:17:41.000 PCMatic is a whitelist, next-generation antivirus software designed to stop modern threats like ransomware.

00:18:34.000 So President Trump just signed a police reform executive order that will encourage law enforcement agencies to implement best practices and protect the communities they serve.

00:18:43.000 I generally do not like going out of the way to appease the media and the left.

00:18:48.000 I understand why the president did this.

00:18:50.000 I think there are some actually good measures within this executive order.

00:18:53.000 However, I think now's the time to stand the ground for our law enforcement officers, for our police officers and their families.

00:18:58.000 They generally do a very good job for their communities.

00:19:01.000 And in fact, they have brought down violent crime over the last 20 years as we have increased police presence.

00:19:06.000 Now, under this executive order, the Attorney General will allocate certain grant funding to only those law enforcement agencies that meet very high standards.

00:19:14.000 The executive order provides incentives for law enforcement agencies to use as a nationwide database to track terminations, criminal convictions, and civil judgments.

00:19:23.000 Now, the administration will prioritize training and other programs for police and social workers responding to incidents.

00:19:29.000 President Trump is, he's really, he's directing his administration to develop and propose new legislation to Congress to further the policies of law and order and build community engagement.

00:19:38.000 So, look, President Trump also privately met with the families of several black Americans who were killed in interactions with police before his signing ceremony in the Rose Garden.

00:19:47.000 He said he was very grieved over the lives that were lost, and he communicated to the families his sympathy.

00:19:53.000 And I think this was a great move by him, and I think that it was something that really was done at the right time.

00:19:58.000 Play tape.

00:19:59.000 I've just concluded a meeting with incredible families, just incredible families that have been through so much.

00:20:09.000 The families of Ahmaud Arbury, Botham John, Antoine Rose, Jamel Robertson, Adiana Jefferson, Michael Dean, Darius Tarver, Cameron Lamb, and Everett Palmer.

00:20:34.000 These are incredible people.

00:20:37.000 Incredible people.

00:20:39.000 And it's so sad.

00:20:42.000 Many of these families lost their loved ones in deadly interactions with police.

00:20:49.000 To all of the hurting families, I want you to know that all Americans mourn by your side.

00:20:57.000 Your loved ones will not have died in vain.

00:21:01.000 We are one nation.

00:21:03.000 We grieve together and we heal together.

00:21:07.000 I can never imagine your pain or the depth of your anguish, but I can promise to fight for justice for all of our people.

00:21:18.000 And I gave a commitment to all of those families today with Senator Tim Scott and Attorney General Bill Barr.

00:21:27.000 We are going to pursue what we said.

00:21:31.000 We will be pursuing it, and we will be pursuing it strongly, Tim, right?

00:21:35.000 So, look, in an effort to head off more of the radical legislation by House Democrats who are in Kente cloth kneeling on the House, right outside of the House floor in the lobby of the House of Representatives, which, of course, except for Jerry Nadler, for a reason that you could figure out yourself, Senate Republicans are trying to propose their own more toned-down legislation.

00:21:55.000 So, this is from Fox News: quote: Senate Republicans on Wednesday unveiled their quote Justice Act, police reform legislation to hold officers accountable with an enhanced use of force database, pursue restrictions on chokeholds, and create new commissions to study law enforcement and race.

00:22:09.000 Senator Tim Scott, who is the only black Republican senator, but that's really deceiving because there's only three black senators, and one of them is Corey Booker, the other is Senator Harris, and the other is Senator Tim Scott.

00:22:21.000 So, I don't like calling him the only African-American senator.

00:22:24.000 I just think it's very deceiving. 0.99

00:22:26.000 There's not that many of them.

00:22:27.000 And so, I don't like that wordage.

00:22:29.000 However, it says that he is pushing forth the legislation.

00:22:33.000 And so, look, as an aside, Senator Tim Scott has been the subject of so much veiled racism since the George Floyd killing from white liberals, by the way.

00:22:42.000 White liberals have been going after Senator Tim Scott because they don't think he's black because he's not a Democrat.

00:22:48.000 I wonder if somebody said that recently.

00:22:51.000 You know, if only Joe Biden said something like that.

00:22:54.000 So, Senator Tim Scott is always referenced, even in conservative outlets, by his race.

00:23:00.000 They always include it.

00:23:01.000 And then you see how the Democrats discuss him. 0.56

00:23:03.000 They outright call him the token black senator.

00:23:06.000 Check out this Twitter exchange where Dick Durbin, the second-ranking Senate Democrat, referred to Senator Tim Scott as a token approach.

00:23:14.000 That's a white liberal from Illinois who's calling Senator Tim Scott a token.

00:23:19.000 And Senator Tim Scott responded very firmly, and I think actually roasted him on Twitter and said, Y'all still wearing those kente cloths over there, Senator Durbin?

00:23:28.000 Good for you, Senator Tim Scott, holding the line.

00:23:30.000 The Democrats, who are the real racists, they always have been, and they still to this day, are hyper-fixated on race.

00:23:37.000 They can't help themselves.

00:23:38.000 The Democrats have always thought race is a predominant quality of the human experience in existence.

00:23:44.000 Republicans have always thought your character, your spirituality, your actions, and your worldview is actually how you should be judged.

00:23:52.000 Like these little Freudian slips from Senator Durbin and former Vice President Joe Biden, They say so much about how they are obsessed with the issue of race.

00:24:01.000 They make everyone else in America become a hyper-racial society. 0.82

00:24:05.000 We want to be a post-racial society. 0.89

00:24:07.000 Their entire worldview is formed by the conceptions of class and race, that somehow if you are black, by definition, you can't break out of being on the lower portion of the income distribution, which is just not anywhere close to being true and not even close to being what our future will be. 0.94

00:24:24.000 This has betrayed Martin Luther King's admission, quote, I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation that will not be judged by the color of their skin, by the contents of their character.

00:24:33.000 I have a dream today.

00:24:34.000 So we achieved that when I was in high school, actually, people were generally not judged by the color of their skin, but instead on the actions they're making.

00:24:41.000 Now we're getting back into the racist society that we tried to get rid of.

00:24:44.000 But here we are.

00:24:45.000 And Senator Republicans are now forced to agree with the rules of engagement because they're not holding the ground like they did with the attacks against Brett Kavanaugh.

00:24:52.000 So look, we have to have our own piece of legislation because we failed to fight this narrative at the beginning of the riots and the protests.

00:24:58.000 Instead of having our Republican Party united on a piece of legislation for school choice for black kids or the reunification of the black family, now we're playing on their terrain.

00:25:06.000 And we will guarantee you we will lose when we fight on the left's terrain. 0.54

00:25:09.000 So instead of rejecting the premise and dismissing it like we did with Kavanaugh, now we have to play defense.

00:25:14.000 So look, I like Senator Scott, but I do not like having to succumb to a lie.

00:25:18.000 Senator McConnell and Lindsey Graham are both stressing the immediate need for the bill.

00:25:23.000 And I just think they're just pandering.

00:25:24.000 And look, here's Senator Scott's statement on the bill.

00:25:26.000 He said, quote, the answer to the question of which side do you support is I support America.

00:25:31.000 And if you support America, you support restoring the confidence that communities of color have in institutions of authority.

00:25:37.000 And I'm signing because they don't have a lack of support in institutions of authority because of the legislation.

00:25:43.000 They have it because of people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson that have been endlessly trying to demean and debase the sort of belief that we have in our systems of authority.

00:25:54.000 If you support America, that means you know that the overwhelming number of officers in this nation want to do their job, go home to their family.

00:26:00.000 It is not a binary choice.

00:26:01.000 This legislation encompasses that spirit.

00:26:03.000 Scott said the overwhelming number of officers in America are good people.

00:26:06.000 Thank you for saying that, Senator Scott.

00:26:08.000 But he acknowledged that real fears people of color have encountering the police.

00:26:08.000 I totally agree.

00:26:12.000 He said, we hear you.

00:26:14.000 We are listening to your concerns.

00:26:15.000 I mean, come on.

00:26:16.000 Why are you saying that? 0.83

00:26:17.000 They have concerns in encountering black police officers.

00:26:22.000 I just, I don't find that to be statistically or anecdotally true at all.

00:26:25.000 I mean, more black people are alive in New York City because of an increased police presence.

00:26:30.000 The George Floyd incident certainly accelerated this conversation.

00:26:33.000 So look, here's where we're at.

00:26:36.000 I think this issue has been so culturally convulsive that we already ceded way too much ground and that we have to recapture the leadership position.

00:26:43.000 From a messaging standpoint, Republicans have always been the party of criminal justice reform, of liberation, and of civil rights.

00:26:48.000 We've always helped minority communities.

00:26:51.000 We passed the First Step Act.

00:26:52.000 We have, in fact, passed historic funding for historical black college universities for opportunity zones.

00:26:57.000 And Democrats and the anti-racism activists, they claim the bill does not go far enough.

00:27:01.000 They want to ban the use of chokeholds completely.

00:27:03.000 The bill also does not address the issue of qualified immunity, which gives police officers some protections in cases where the use of force becomes excessive.

00:27:12.000 The president has called this issue a non-starter.

00:27:14.000 Good for him.

00:27:15.000 That's the president at his best.

00:27:17.000 Imagine how few police officers were able to recruit in this current climate. 0.85

00:27:21.000 And next, we'll want to tell people to put their lives on the line if they have to use force against a black or brown person.

00:27:27.000 They'll lose their career reputation. 0.94

00:27:28.000 They'll lose any legal protection we've given them.

00:27:30.000 I just want to say, I want to give a shout out to our police officers.

00:27:33.000 And you guys can go to charliekirk.com, buy a shirt that says Police Officers Matter, and the proceeds and the profits of that shirt go to the families of David Dorn and Patrick Underwood and other black police officers that were killed in the riots and the unrest that have happened in recent weeks.

00:27:48.000 I can't imagine how hard it is for a police officer to go to work every single day.

00:27:51.000 And you wonder, man, if I have to draw my side firearm and use this, I might have my family, my own life ruined forever, even if I'm protecting myself.

00:28:01.000 And look, when the Democrats are going after the police officers, they have another thing coming because they have to confront the powerful public sector employee unions to get these reforms passed.

00:28:10.000 And so if you want to go after the police, you're going to have to go after a very well-funded, well-organized, and motivated order of fraternal police.

00:28:20.000 And that's basically, and they have their own union, and they have their own police union, and they have saved plenty of money through the years.

00:28:25.000 They are very well connected politically.

00:28:28.000 And they are a public sector union.

00:28:29.000 And look, they have the most expensive lawyers that you can imagine.

00:28:33.000 They have them on retainer.

00:28:35.000 And I'm just going to say right now that the public sector unions and the police officers, they're not going to go down without a fight.

00:28:40.000 And by the way, the Democrats created these unions.

00:28:43.000 The Democrats created these very same unions that disallowed us from being able to fire Derek Chauvin.

00:28:48.000 That didn't allow us to be able to fire the worst of the police force.

00:28:52.000 And that is because of Democrat public sector union pandering.

00:28:56.000 So look, there's going to be a continued conversation about law enforcement, but there's going to be huge opposition for the Democrats, big time, because they're going to go after one of their core constituencies.

00:29:05.000 Maybe they think that police officer votes don't matter and that they want to go towards the votes of the swarm and the mob.

00:29:10.000 I think that's a miscalculation.

00:29:12.000 I think the president can win a lot of police officers, especially in these critical battleground states.

00:29:17.000 And there's been a lot of news happening around how things are going to impact the presidential election, including the Supreme Court ruling.

00:29:24.000 And I want to get into that because we've gotten so many emails at freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:30:13.000 So we've gotten a lot of questions at freedom at charliekirk.com and says, Charlie, what is going on with the Supreme Court?

00:30:18.000 So, first of all, every June is always the most dramatic month for Supreme Court decision.

00:30:23.000 This is where a lot of the cases are decided and released.

00:30:27.000 Actually, they're usually decided a couple months prior, but they write their opinions, and June is when they release them.

00:30:32.000 And then the Supreme Court justices go travel the country July and August, and they take some time off.

00:30:36.000 So this was the big decision that happened recently.

00:30:39.000 In a landmark 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court stunningly decided through Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to make a decision around LGBT and gay individuals, saying that it can be interpreted to include discrimination protection based for transgender individuals and gay individuals.

00:31:02.000 Whereas previously, it was just around race and religion and also around male and female, which is the whole point of this entire decision.

00:31:10.000 We'll get to that in one second. 0.99

00:31:11.000 Remember, there's only two genders. 0.61

00:31:12.000 Now, Justice Neil Gorsuch, a Trump appointee, incredibly wrote for the majority. 0.74

00:31:18.000 I'm so stunned by this.

00:31:21.000 I'm going to be honest.

00:31:22.000 If I were to actually guess which of the Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices was going to side with the leftist justices, I thought for sure it would be Brett Kavanaugh.

00:31:35.000 Went to Georgetown Prep.

00:31:36.000 He went to Yale.

00:31:37.000 He served on the D.C. Circuit Court.

00:31:39.000 He was a Bush appointee.

00:31:40.000 He worked in the Bush White House.

00:31:42.000 Definitely was going to be Brett Kavanaugh, right?

00:31:45.000 No, it was Neil Gorsuch, the guy that didn't serve in the D.C. Circuit, who's from Colorado.

00:31:51.000 And I guess Gorsuch is more of a libertarian, but this interpretation is so incredibly anti-constitutional.

00:31:59.000 It's extra-constitutional.

00:32:01.000 Now, if you ask me if a specific piece of legislation should be passed to address this, I might be able to have that conversation.

00:32:09.000 However, it is not the Supreme Court's role to now make legislation, and they've been doing judicial activism on this issue.

00:32:17.000 And so he joined the four other leftist anti-American justices, Elena Kagan, Soyona Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who couldn't find a correct ruling if it was right in front of them.

00:32:29.000 No matter what the decision in front of them is, those four justices will side with what is worst for America.

00:32:35.000 It is assured.

00:32:37.000 Now, Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, who is used to turning his back on the American people and on the conservative base, he did what he basically automatically does now, which is side with his best friends, Kagan, Sotomayor, Breyer, and Ginsburg.

00:32:50.000 But man, Gorsuch, what are you doing?

00:32:52.000 And I've read parts of his opinion here, and I just fundamentally disagree with it.

00:32:56.000 He thinks that these protections should now be applied to someone who magically wakes up one morning and thinks that they're a man or a woman despite their biological creation.

00:33:08.000 Your opinion, your own choice around gender, should not all of a sudden get special protections by the federal government.

00:33:18.000 Again, this is about the interpretation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

00:33:22.000 You might not like the law, but then that's for Congress to fix.

00:33:27.000 The Supreme Court interprets the law, it does not make the law.

00:33:31.000 Kavanaugh, Alito, and Clarence Thomas, the three patriots, God bless them all.

00:33:36.000 My goodness, they ruled correctly here.

00:33:38.000 They argued in a dissenting opinion the following, and it was really well said.

00:33:42.000 I have to say, I agree with almost all of this.

00:33:44.000 While the court may believe it is achieving a judicious result, that the same result could have and should have come through legislation and a specific congressional change to Title VII rather than through the courts, and that the word, quote, sex cannot be read to include sexual orientation or gender identity.

00:34:01.000 Good for you guys.

00:34:02.000 My gosh, I took care that the courage to write.

00:34:04.000 I think Kavanaugh was radicalized during that whole process.

00:34:07.000 I think we have based Kavanaugh, who is not, he's not going to play ball with these guys anymore.

00:34:11.000 He's like, you probably try to destroy my family, and now I recognize what you're trying to do to our country.

00:34:15.000 God bless you, Brett Kavanaugh.

00:34:17.000 Quote, the court tries to convince readers that is merely enforcing this terms of the statute, but that is preposterous, Alito wrote.

00:34:25.000 God bless Alito.

00:34:26.000 And it continues, even as understood today, the concept of discrimination because of, quote, sex is different from the discrimination because of sexual orientation and gender identity.

00:34:34.000 Now, mind you, what do Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas have in common?

00:34:38.000 They both almost had their nominations destroyed by left-wing mobs in the United States Senate.

00:34:43.000 Now, look, this is a travesty of the court.

00:34:45.000 And frankly, this really weakens the argument for Trump being elected with evangelicals because of judges.

00:34:50.000 Textualism is where you allow an individual to read into the text of the law or the Constitution beyond the intent of the writers of the law and apply cultures evolving definition or standards.

00:35:02.000 This is where you get activist judges.

00:35:04.000 And this is very wrong.

00:35:07.000 This is not how conservatives view the law, nor should we.

00:35:10.000 We don't apply our own standards.

00:35:11.000 We read the law as it was intended, not as how things are today.

00:35:16.000 Look, we read it strictly as they wrote it.

00:35:19.000 Can't deduce the necessary conclusion from the way the law is written, or if you don't like what the law is.

00:35:25.000 It's not some sort of postmodern my truth.

00:35:27.000 It's what does the law say?

00:35:29.000 If you don't like it, go back to Congress.

00:35:31.000 And Rush said aptly, quote, What happened yesterday at the Supreme Court may be the biggest sellout of conservatism by conservative justice in the history of the Supreme Court on four different issues.

00:35:41.000 And he's 100% correct.

00:35:43.000 And by the way, the Supreme Court also refused to consider the Trump administration's challenge to a California law limiting state and local cooperation with federal immigration authorities regarding the infamous Sanctuary City policies.

00:35:55.000 This has not received the one-tenth the coverage of the LGBTQ ruling, but it's also a very bad development for America. 0.97

00:36:02.000 The case, which would have been heard next fall or winter, raised the broad issue of whether state and local governments can effectively provide sanctuary to undocumented immigrants, or I call them foreign national illegal lawbreakers in our country threatened with arrest or deportation by ICE and they should all be deported from our country.

00:36:19.000 Now, once again, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas and Samuel Lito dissented. 0.86

00:36:23.000 President Donald Trump's two high court nominees, Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, did not register dissent. 0.66

00:36:30.000 Now, the Justice Department argued rightly: quote, allowing federal immigration officials access to undocumented immigrants, the state simply needs to remain neutral, end quote. 0.52

00:36:39.000 And that, quote, the state law openly seeks to undermine federal immigration enforcement. 0.91

00:36:43.000 This is, of course, correct.

00:36:44.000 And the federal government must set immigration policy, not the states.

00:36:48.000 You can't come to California under one law and then freely travel and work and maybe even vote in other states that have different laws.

00:36:53.000 That's what a federal government is for.

00:36:55.000 We have the Civil Rights Act that says you can't have protections under the Civil Rights Act in California, but not Maine.

00:36:59.000 We don't have unified immigration policy.

00:37:02.000 That is the role of the federal government.

00:37:04.000 If you're in a country, you have to have the same laws under that country.

00:37:07.000 And look, there's also the issue of crime.

00:37:09.000 As Solicitor General Noel Francisco argued in court papers, quote, when officers are unable to arrest aliens, often criminal aliens who are in removal proceedings or have been ordered removed from the United States, those aliens instead return to the community where criminal aliens are disproportionately likely to commit crimes, end quote.

00:37:27.000 Now, what is California's response? 0.88

00:37:28.000 We hate Trump so much that we want to let illegals come and live in America, screw the federal law. 0.99

00:37:34.000 They also make the weak argument that you've clamped down on the illegal immigration. 1.00

00:37:38.000 People living in those communities won't talk to the police.

00:37:40.000 Now, this is a weak argument for a few reasons. 0.88

00:37:43.000 Just as we're discussing with Black Lives Matter, it's often the families in these communities that want the criminals out the most. 0.68

00:37:50.000 If you don't enforce your laws, you get chaos. 0.97

00:37:52.000 Either our immigration system means something or none of the laws mean anything at all whatsoever.

00:37:58.000 And so, look, what we have right now is a group of conservative justices, for whatever reason, you can make your own conjecture, you can make your own interpretation.

00:38:06.000 They're trying to appease some sort of leftist intelligentsia.

00:38:10.000 There is no way that you can make a fair and impartial textual interpretation of how they came to the conclusions that they did.

00:38:18.000 Here's my guiding principle on this: if Clarence Thomas rules and the conservative justices disagree with Clarence Thomas, there's something wrong with them, not with the interpretation.

00:38:28.000 Clarence Thomas is my North Star here.

00:38:30.000 Clarence Thomas is an American hero.

00:38:32.000 And if you don't know who Clarence Thomas is, some teacher somewhere did something immoral to you to not teach you about Clarence Thomas.

00:38:38.000 Clarence Thomas is a black conservative Supreme Court justice that has been slandered, lied about, silenced, and ignored by the mainstream press.

00:38:45.000 He is one of the most phenomenal American heroes in the history of the country.

00:38:50.000 I have an opportunity to meet him.

00:38:51.000 And I've just found him so nice.

00:38:53.000 He's so magnanimous.

00:38:54.000 He's so kind.

00:38:55.000 And the left hates him.

00:38:57.000 He is the American hero of our time.

00:39:00.000 I really believe that.

00:39:00.000 And Donald Trump is as well.

00:39:02.000 But Clarence Thomas has been through so much.

00:39:03.000 So if Clarence Thomas rules a certain way, and Kavanaugh or Gorsuch or Alito or Roberts disagree with Clarence Thomas, what's wrong with you?

00:39:10.000 Because Clarence Thomas gives zero.

00:39:12.000 The radicalization of Clarence Thomas happened when they tried to destroy him and when they tried to, in his own words, have a high-tech lynching of a black man.

00:39:20.000 And he slammed it down and they held the line strong.

00:39:23.000 God bless Clarence Thomas.

00:39:25.000 He doesn't care.

00:39:26.000 There's nothing else they can possibly slander him.

00:39:28.000 But maybe for Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, that kind of public opinion pressure impacts them a lot.

00:39:34.000 I don't know where Gorsuch gets off on this, and I'm really disappointed.

00:39:37.000 I hope he makes up for it in a future decision because this is disturbing and wrong.

00:39:42.000 So now here's your digital annihilation cultural cancellation update. 0.86

00:39:47.000 Aunt Jemima has been totally eliminated.

00:39:50.000 Revisionist history strikes again.

00:39:52.000 PepsiCo said it will drop the image of Aunt Jemima, rebrand the line of the pancake mix and syrup that has borne the name since 1889.

00:40:00.000 The parent of the Quaker Oats Company, which has owned the brand since 1926, did not specify what the new name will be or what the updating package will look like.

00:40:08.000 I don't understand. 1.00

00:40:09.000 We're canceling black people now. 0.95

00:40:11.000 Isn't that racist? 0.99

00:40:12.000 The left would rather cancel a bottle of syrup than a Democrat governor who actually either wore blackface or the KKK hood.

00:40:18.000 We still don't know.

00:40:19.000 We're waiting for an answer from Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia, whether it was blackface or the KKK hood.

00:40:25.000 We hope to hear back sometime soon, but we probably won't.

00:40:27.000 So I don't understand the stereotype.

00:40:29.000 Are African Americans not to be allowed to be brand mascots?

00:40:32.000 I mean, if they were all white, white people would say that they're white supremacists and they'd want a black person on it. 0.94

00:40:36.000 There's no rules here. 0.87

00:40:37.000 And the reason there's no rules, they don't have any guiding principles because they don't have an agreed upon morality or a book that tells them what is right or wrong.

00:40:44.000 That's why we have the Bible.

00:40:45.000 That's why we have the Constitution to say, no, this is right, this is wrong.

00:40:48.000 These are our guiding principles. 0.98

00:40:49.000 The left, they have all sorts of different pieces of foolish backwards literature. 0.97

00:40:52.000 They have no North Star. 0.98

00:40:53.000 Now, corporate America's woke view of society is, when you think about it, unbelievably offensive.

00:40:58.000 And I'm not one to easily get offended, but it's offensive.

00:41:00.000 How weak do they think America is that our sensibilities would be offended by a syrup bottle?

00:41:05.000 How weak are we presenting ourselves to be where they would think that? 0.67

00:41:08.000 In reporting on this decision, NBC quoted Rich A. Richardson, an associated professor at Cornell University, who said, Aunt Jemima is, quote, a retrograde image of black womanhood on our store shelves, end quote. 0.99

00:41:20.000 So I guess less black representation in corporate America is a good thing.

00:41:24.000 It's an image that harkens back to the antebellum plantation, he said. 0.94

00:41:27.000 Aunt Jemima is that of a stereotype that is premised on the idea of black inferiority and otherness, Richardson said.

00:41:34.000 I mean, that takes such incredible intellectual and historical calisthenics.

00:41:37.000 You sound like a really unhappy person.

00:41:39.000 He says, quote, it is urgent to expunge our public spaces of a lot of these symbols that for some people are triggering and represent terror and abuse, he declared.

00:41:48.000 The mental gymnastics at this point is exhausting.

00:41:51.000 But is it really urgent, Professor Richardson?

00:41:54.000 Is it really as urgent as you say? 1.00

00:41:56.000 Black Americans are killing each other at alarming rates. 1.00

00:41:58.000 Black businesses are being burned down to the ground. 1.00

00:42:01.000 Thousands of black babies are being aborted every single week. 0.99

00:42:05.000 Yet, to the leftist woke crowd, it is urgent to cancel Aunt Jemima. 0.62

00:42:10.000 This is the perfect example of what happens when you do not have guiding truth.

00:42:15.000 Again, this is why the Bible matters.

00:42:17.000 So mind you, do I actually care that they're getting rid of Aunt Jemima?

00:42:21.000 Not necessarily, but it is part of a tapestry of destruction.

00:42:25.000 It's part of a continual removal campaign by the radical left, and we know where this leads.

00:42:32.000 It's part of a playbook.

00:42:33.000 Read their literature.

00:42:35.000 They do this intentionally.

00:42:37.000 They start small to go big.

00:42:40.000 And if you don't fight early, they will destroy you eventually.

00:42:44.000 And while we're on the subject of rewriting history, Senator Tim Kaine said something absolutely reprehensible, despicable, and categorically false on the floor of the United States Senate play tape.

00:42:55.000 The United States didn't inherit slavery from anybody.

00:42:58.000 We created it.

00:42:59.000 It got created by the Virginia General Assembly and the legislatures of other states.

00:43:03.000 It got created by the court systems in colonial America and since that enforced fusion of slave laws.

00:43:11.000 It was, we created it and we created it and maintained it over centuries.

00:43:18.000 And in my lifetime, we have finally stopped some of those practices, but we've never gone back to undo it.

00:43:26.000 Stopping racist practices at your 350 of 400 years, but then taking no effort to dismantle them is not the same as truly combating racism.

00:43:40.000 Well, that's right.

00:43:40.000 Democrats actually believe that we invented slavery.

00:43:43.000 I mean, slavery is thousands of years old.

00:43:46.000 And by the way, those pyramids that were built by guess what? Slaves, like 3,000 years ago, more like 4,000 years ago, actually.

00:43:55.000 And by the way, how about where we get the word slave from?

00:43:58.000 It's the Latin term Slav because the Slavic people were often forced into what we now know as slavery in the Middle Ages.

00:44:05.000 And Tim Kaine is just another radical left-wing Democrat who appears to be getting his news from the 1619 project.

00:44:12.000 But here's a piece of information that they won't teach you in your schools.

00:44:14.000 One year after the Declaration of Independence was signed and sent to King George, one year after, where it says the laws of nature and nature is God, our birth certificate, the state of Vermont abolished slavery.

00:44:26.000 It was America that began the process of abolishing slavery, not inventing slavery.

00:44:31.000 It was our country that abolished slavery that sent ripple effects all across the entire world where we were able to say no more to this evil sin.

00:44:39.000 It was the Bible that inspired it.

00:44:41.000 It was the American experience that abolished it. 0.95

00:44:44.000 And yeah, we didn't live up to that promise the first hundred years of our country, but we fulfilled it.

00:44:50.000 We abolished slavery.

00:44:51.000 We passed the Civil Rights Act.

00:44:53.000 And if you look in a historical context, 100 years is a very short period of time.

00:44:57.000 The fact that we abolished slavery within 100 years of our country's formation and the founding of our country is incredible.

00:45:05.000 That actually goes to show that the country was founded on the abolition of trying to get rid of slavery, not the opposite of it.

00:45:11.000 They say, well, this country was founded on slavery.

00:45:14.000 No, it was founded while slavery was happening, but a year after we signed the Declaration of Independence, we were abolishing slavery, and we were already having discussion around this idea of natural rights.

00:45:23.000 In fact, the idea of slavery was 5,000 years old at the time.

00:45:26.000 We still have slavery happening right now around the world.

00:45:29.000 This is such revisionist, pernicious, anti-American activist history by Senator Tim Kaine.

00:45:35.000 But I wouldn't expect anything else from someone who serves in the same state as someone who either wore a KKK hood or blackface and is still the governor of Virginia, as someone who represents a party that owns slaves, that opposed the 13th and the 14th Amendment, that opposed the Civil Rights Act, that opposed everything that we know to be good as successful movements of morality in America.

00:45:58.000 The left has opposed it every single turn. 0.99

00:45:59.000 But Senator Tim Kaine wouldn't know that because he's a fool, and he's a fool that thankfully is not vice president of the United States. 0.98
