00:00:14.000We actually give you the update on Trump versus Biden.
00:00:17.000And I could tell you from some first personal experience on the ground on the Battleground States and actually being there in 2016, there's some stuff that you're not going to want to miss.
00:00:25.000Our sister organization, Turning Point Action, our 501c4 organization, is hosting the President of the United States in Phoenix, Arizona on June 23rd.
00:00:34.000You guys can sign up at trumpstudents.org slash convention.
00:00:40.000Or if you guys want to go, just email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:43.000If you're in the American Southwest, or if you want to go from anywhere from across the country and hear the president address the next generation, you can do that at freedomatcharlikirk.com.
00:01:23.000His 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.
00:01:32.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:43.000So 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.
00:01:55.000I 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.
00:02:07.000Let's actually talk about the election.
00:02:08.000So Joe Biden is making a huge play for Florida.
00:02:11.000It's putting Trump on defense in his own backyard, which is technically now his home state.
00:02:16.000And now this is a must-win state for the White House.
00:02:19.000Now, part of the strategy is around Val Demings, who's a Florida representative who's a potential running mate for Joe Biden.
00:02:26.000So Joe Biden can purportedly make a big play from his basement.
00:02:30.000I am not really sure how that's working.
00:02:32.000I think every day Joe Biden comes out of his basement and he asks, am I president yet?
00:02:38.000It's kind of like Groundhog Day, but it's much more depressing.
00:02:41.000So 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.
00:02:50.000Now, President Trump, of course, won Florida in 2016 by over 100,000 votes.
00:03:01.000I traveled the country with Donald Trump Jr.
00:03:03.000I was monitoring a lot of the counties as they were coming in in the state of Florida.
00:03:07.000And 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.
00:03:18.000And 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.
00:03:33.000We 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.
00:03:41.000And even when the counties, there's townships or precincts that are going to make or break the entire trajectory of Western society and civilization.
00:03:48.000So it's really interesting to think that certain neighborhoods, that certain city blocks are actually going to determine the future of America.
00:03:55.000Now, President Trump won Florida by 100,000 votes, but Biden thinks he can reclaim Florida like Obama did in 08 in 2012.
00:04:03.000So here's some bad news about Florida, and here's some good news about Florida.
00:04:43.000Senator Rick Scott still won the Senate seat, and he did a very difficult thing, which is to beat an incumbent Democrat senator, Senator Nelson.
00:04:52.000So Florida has been trending ever so slightly in the center-right direction.
00:04:58.000So one of these polls has Joe Biden at 50%, Trump at 43% in the state of Florida.
00:05:04.000In Arizona, it has Biden up one, Biden 45%, Trump 44%.
00:05:08.000That's actually a pretty promising poll.
00:05:10.000The 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.
00:05:21.000And because I'll tell you right now, that we're supposed to believe that Arizona is upside down and backwards.
00:05:27.000That differential, I'll take completely.
00:05:30.000That does not factor in Trump enthusiasm.
00:05:34.000That 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.
00:05:42.000That doesn't count all the ad money that's going to be spent or the ground game, the rallies, all that.
00:05:46.000So the fact that Trump's within one point in Arizona is I'll take that any day.
00:05:51.000I 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.
00:06:00.000We do a lot of our podcasts out of Arizona.
00:06:02.000We're hosting the president of the United States actually coming up on Tuesday from our 501c4 in Arizona.
00:06:10.000You guys can come check that out at Trumpstudents.org.
00:06:12.000If you're anywhere in the southwest, you want to come hear the president speak.
00:06:15.000We have him coming in Phoenix, Arizona on June 23rd in Arizona.
00:06:18.000So I know the state of Arizona pretty well.
00:06:20.000And the fact that this polling, which is probably tilted a little bit over sampling Democrats within one point, I'll take it.
00:06:26.000Now, this Florida poll, not great, not going to lie, down seven.
00:06:30.000Again, 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.
00:06:39.000And I will say that the trend lines have been moving in the general direction that are not favorable to Trump.
00:06:48.000They've been going in the wrong direction in Florida.
00:06:49.000Now, interestingly enough, Michigan, according to the CNBC research poll, is that Trump's within two points of Biden.
00:06:57.000The 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.
00:07:05.000And I think so, look, some polls have him down 16 points in Michigan.
00:07:12.000But again, this doesn't factor in so many different things.
00:07:15.000Voter registration, voter turnout, voter modeling, late breakers, the base turning out.
00:07:19.000And 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.
00:07:27.000This will probably be the lowest point of Trump's approval rating presidency.
00:07:31.000I 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.
00:07:41.000I 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.
00:07:55.000So 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.
00:08:03.000Trump is down one point in Arizona as a baseline.
00:08:05.000Understand that Republicans are late-breaking voters.
00:08:08.000A Democrat base is pretty much built in.
00:08:12.000Trump'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.
00:08:22.000And I also, a lot of the pollsters, I think, get wrong the way that they sample Trump supporters.
00:08:27.000A lot of Trump supporters are not likely to participate in polls.
00:08:58.000I saw something happening in Michigan that was so special, unlike anything I had experienced in my short career in politics leading up to that.
00:09:05.000But most importantly, I looked at the crosstabs and I looked at how they were tabulating the polling.
00:09:10.000And 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.
00:09:22.000And anyone who's been in the Midwest, like I have, and knows what the Upper Peninsula of Michigan actually is.
00:09:29.000So just so you know, Michigan is like a Mitt, not like Mitt Romney, his family is from Michigan.
00:09:34.000But if you put up your hand, that's basically the map of Michigan.
00:09:37.000Okay, it's an old joke and you ask people, where do you live in Michigan?
00:09:40.000But 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.
00:09:49.000This is basically like Alabama near Canada.
00:09:52.000It is the most conservative part of the entire Midwest.
00:09:55.000I mean, I think it's a requirement to live in the Upper Peninsula for you to have a firearm.
00:10:04.000I have some friends that have been from there.
00:10:06.000These are people that generally are very, very pro Donald Trump's message.
00:10:11.000They're very pro-Second Amendment, pro-individual initiative, pro-America.
00:10:17.000The 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.
00:10:27.000I said Donald Trump's going to win the state of Michigan.
00:10:29.000And actually, it came out on election day.
00:10:32.000He won the Upper Peninsula by a massive margin.
00:10:35.000And so if you go into the crosstab, sometimes they're just not sampling parts of the state correctly.
00:10:41.000The 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.
00:10:49.000And so pollsters are supposed to factor that in, but sometimes they're under a lot of pressure.
00:10:53.000Sometimes they're under deadlines to get polling published.
00:10:56.000And they're not always able to get accurate sampling sizes of certain parts of the state.
00:11:00.000And that's understandable, but I also think that there are suppression polls.
00:11:03.000So right now, the RCP average has Joe Biden up eight and a half points over Donald Trump, 50 to 41%.
00:11:08.000So look, I'm not going to say that's a good thing.
00:11:11.000I mean, I don't necessarily believe it's that poll right now.
00:11:15.000I don't believe it's that margin right now.
00:11:16.000I 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.
00:11:27.000But let's say that Donald Trump is down right now.
00:12:03.000What does Trump have to do to actually correct course?
00:12:05.000But let's pretend that the polls are half right.
00:12:07.000Let'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.
00:12:15.000Okay, let's pretend that he has some margin to make up.
00:13:33.000It's up to them whether to make that decision.
00:13:35.000CDC guidelines are recommended, but not required.
00:13:38.000CDC guidelines suggest that people practice social distancing.
00:13:43.000You're not going to be able to practice social distancing in a rally with thousands of people.
00:13:47.000So aren't you, in essence, bringing people to a rally where they won't be abiding by those guidelines.
00:13:54.000It's the personal choice of individuals as to what to do.
00:13:57.000But if we want to talk about internal coherence, I believe that the media needs to work on internal coherence.
00:14:03.000This 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.
00:14:17.000And 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.
00:14:30.000And then less than an hour and a half later, they say President Trump plans to rally, but health experts are questioning that decision.
00:14:36.000CBS had a similar logically inconsistent tweet.
00:14:40.000So look, here's the real beauty from the alleged conservative Jennifer Rubin, who is she just play acts a conservative.
00:15:08.000Trump's narcissism prevents him from considering the interests of others, even if the damage to them is grave and the benefit is minimal.
00:15:14.000So 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.
00:15:23.000The rallies were outside, and many protesters wore a mask.
00:15:26.000The cause was a spur action to save lives.
00:15:28.000That's Jennifer Rubin, the alleged conservative from the Washington Post.
00:15:32.000Reminder, just like Kaylee said, everyone who enters the rally will be given a mask and has an option to wear it.
00:15:38.000And 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.
00:15:51.000More intended to shield their identity or match their design or outfit than protect themselves from the virus.
00:16:02.000I don't know why you call yourself a conservative.
00:16:05.000In fact, you might be the affirmative action hire at the Washington Post, but you're awful.
00:16:10.000But 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.
00:16:22.000But how can we beat a confused, corrupt, somewhat mentally crippled, codgerly person named Joe Biden?
00:16:31.000We have to play offense as a party, not just the president.
00:16:35.000The proactive police reform measures are a very good place to start.
00:16:39.000Now's the time to make a push for school choice for black kids.
00:16:44.000Five words that can win the president re-election.
00:16:47.000So look, you put the Democrats on the record opposing opportunity for those kids' future.
00:16:53.000You make them put their kente cloth where their mouth is and prove that black lives really do matter to them.
00:16:59.000So look, there's a lot of polls out there that might make you kind of depressed of the direction that the election is going.
00:17:05.000But there's so much political conversation and so much ground that has left to be determined of where it's going to go.
00:17:13.000And it is my opinion that the president is still in a very good position to win this election.
00:17:19.000Joe 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.
00:17:35.000Now, President Trump just signed a police reform measure, but before I get into that, I want to tell you about our friends at PCMatic.
00:17:41.000PCMatic is a whitelist, next-generation antivirus software designed to stop modern threats like ransomware.
00:17:48.000Independent testing from A-B Test just named PCMatic as a top performer in the cybersecurity industry, giving it the best performance award for 2019.
00:17:56.000Only PC Matic has American research, development, and support.

00:18:10.000PCMatic is just $50 for five devices for one year with a full 30-day money-back guarantee.
00:18:16.000And if you act now, PCMatic has offered my listeners a free month of security protection with the purchase of an annual license.

00:18:25.000Again, to get world-class security, keep your computers running great, go to pcmatic.com slash Charlie, PCMatic.com slash Charlie.
00:18:34.000So 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.
00:18:43.000I generally do not like going out of the way to appease the media and the left.
00:18:48.000I understand why the president did this.
00:18:50.000I think there are some actually good measures within this executive order.
00:18:53.000However, I think now's the time to stand the ground for our law enforcement officers, for our police officers and their families.
00:18:58.000They generally do a very good job for their communities.
00:19:01.000And in fact, they have brought down violent crime over the last 20 years as we have increased police presence.
00:19:06.000Now, under this executive order, the Attorney General will allocate certain grant funding to only those law enforcement agencies that meet very high standards.
00:19:14.000The executive order provides incentives for law enforcement agencies to use as a nationwide database to track terminations, criminal convictions, and civil judgments.
00:19:23.000Now, the administration will prioritize training and other programs for police and social workers responding to incidents.
00:19:29.000President 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.
00:19:38.000So, 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.
00:19:47.000He said he was very grieved over the lives that were lost, and he communicated to the families his sympathy.
00:19:53.000And I think this was a great move by him, and I think that it was something that really was done at the right time.
00:19:59.000I've just concluded a meeting with incredible families, just incredible families that have been through so much.
00:20:09.000The families of Ahmaud Arbury, Botham John, Antoine Rose, Jamel Robertson, Adiana Jefferson, Michael Dean, Darius Tarver, Cameron Lamb, and Everett Palmer.
00:21:31.000We will be pursuing it, and we will be pursuing it strongly, Tim, right?
00:21:35.000So, 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.
00:21:55.000So, 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.
00:22:09.000Senator 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.
00:22:21.000So, I don't like calling him the only African-American senator.
00:22:29.000However, it says that he is pushing forth the legislation.
00:22:33.000And 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.
00:22:42.000White liberals have been going after Senator Tim Scott because they don't think he's black because he's not a Democrat.
00:22:48.000I wonder if somebody said that recently.
00:22:51.000You know, if only Joe Biden said something like that.
00:22:54.000So, Senator Tim Scott is always referenced, even in conservative outlets, by his race.
00:23:01.000And then you see how the Democrats discuss him.
00:23:03.000They outright call him the token black senator.
00:23:06.000Check out this Twitter exchange where Dick Durbin, the second-ranking Senate Democrat, referred to Senator Tim Scott as a token approach.
00:23:14.000That's a white liberal from Illinois who's calling Senator Tim Scott a token.
00:23:19.000And 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?
00:23:28.000Good for you, Senator Tim Scott, holding the line.
00:23:30.000The Democrats, who are the real racists, they always have been, and they still to this day, are hyper-fixated on race.
00:23:38.000The Democrats have always thought race is a predominant quality of the human experience in existence.
00:23:44.000Republicans have always thought your character, your spirituality, your actions, and your worldview is actually how you should be judged.
00:23:52.000Like 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.
00:24:01.000They make everyone else in America become a hyper-racial society.
00:24:07.000Their 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.
00:24:24.000This 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.
00:24:34.000So 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.
00:24:41.000Now we're getting back into the racist society that we tried to get rid of.
00:24:45.000And 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.
00:24:52.000So 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.
00:24:58.000Instead 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.
00:25:06.000And we will guarantee you we will lose when we fight on the left's terrain.
00:25:09.000So instead of rejecting the premise and dismissing it like we did with Kavanaugh, now we have to play defense.
00:25:14.000So look, I like Senator Scott, but I do not like having to succumb to a lie.
00:25:18.000Senator McConnell and Lindsey Graham are both stressing the immediate need for the bill.
00:25:23.000And I just think they're just pandering.
00:25:24.000And look, here's Senator Scott's statement on the bill.
00:25:26.000He said, quote, the answer to the question of which side do you support is I support America.
00:25:31.000And if you support America, you support restoring the confidence that communities of color have in institutions of authority.
00:25:37.000And I'm signing because they don't have a lack of support in institutions of authority because of the legislation.
00:25:43.000They 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.
00:25:54.000If 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.
00:26:36.000I 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.
00:26:43.000From a messaging standpoint, Republicans have always been the party of criminal justice reform, of liberation, and of civil rights.
00:26:52.000We have, in fact, passed historic funding for historical black college universities for opportunity zones.
00:26:57.000And Democrats and the anti-racism activists, they claim the bill does not go far enough.
00:27:01.000They want to ban the use of chokeholds completely.
00:27:03.000The 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.
00:27:12.000The president has called this issue a non-starter.
00:27:28.000They'll lose any legal protection we've given them.
00:27:30.000I just want to say, I want to give a shout out to our police officers.
00:27:33.000And 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.
00:27:48.000I can't imagine how hard it is for a police officer to go to work every single day.
00:27:51.000And 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.
00:28:01.000And 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.
00:28:10.000And 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.
00:28:20.000And 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.
00:28:25.000They are very well connected politically.
00:28:35.000And 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.
00:28:40.000And by the way, the Democrats created these unions.
00:28:43.000The Democrats created these very same unions that disallowed us from being able to fire Derek Chauvin.
00:28:48.000That didn't allow us to be able to fire the worst of the police force.
00:28:52.000And that is because of Democrat public sector union pandering.
00:28:56.000So 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.
00:29:05.000Maybe they think that police officer votes don't matter and that they want to go towards the votes of the swarm and the mob.
00:29:12.000I think the president can win a lot of police officers, especially in these critical battleground states.
00:29:17.000And there's been a lot of news happening around how things are going to impact the presidential election, including the Supreme Court ruling.
00:29:24.000And I want to get into that because we've gotten so many emails at freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:30:09.000It'll be a big part of the renewal of America.
00:30:13.000So we've gotten a lot of questions at freedom at charliekirk.com and says, Charlie, what is going on with the Supreme Court?
00:30:18.000So, first of all, every June is always the most dramatic month for Supreme Court decision.
00:30:23.000This is where a lot of the cases are decided and released.
00:30:27.000Actually, they're usually decided a couple months prior, but they write their opinions, and June is when they release them.
00:30:32.000And then the Supreme Court justices go travel the country July and August, and they take some time off.
00:30:36.000So this was the big decision that happened recently.
00:30:39.000In 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.
00:31:02.000Whereas previously, it was just around race and religion and also around male and female, which is the whole point of this entire decision.
00:31:22.000If 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.
00:32:01.000Now, if you ask me if a specific piece of legislation should be passed to address this, I might be able to have that conversation.
00:32:09.000However, it is not the Supreme Court's role to now make legislation, and they've been doing judicial activism on this issue.
00:32:17.000And 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.
00:32:29.000No matter what the decision in front of them is, those four justices will side with what is worst for America.
00:32:37.000Now, 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.
00:32:52.000And I've read parts of his opinion here, and I just fundamentally disagree with it.
00:32:56.000He 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.
00:33:08.000Your opinion, your own choice around gender, should not all of a sudden get special protections by the federal government.
00:33:18.000Again, this is about the interpretation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
00:33:22.000You might not like the law, but then that's for Congress to fix.
00:33:27.000The Supreme Court interprets the law, it does not make the law.
00:33:31.000Kavanaugh, Alito, and Clarence Thomas, the three patriots, God bless them all.
00:33:36.000My goodness, they ruled correctly here.
00:33:38.000They argued in a dissenting opinion the following, and it was really well said.
00:33:42.000I have to say, I agree with almost all of this.
00:33:44.000While 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.
00:34:26.000And 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.
00:34:34.000Now, mind you, what do Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas have in common?
00:34:38.000They both almost had their nominations destroyed by left-wing mobs in the United States Senate.
00:34:43.000Now, look, this is a travesty of the court.
00:34:45.000And frankly, this really weakens the argument for Trump being elected with evangelicals because of judges.
00:34:50.000Textualism 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.
00:35:02.000This is where you get activist judges.
00:35:29.000If you don't like it, go back to Congress.
00:35:31.000And 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.
00:35:43.000And 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.
00:35:55.000This has not received the one-tenth the coverage of the LGBTQ ruling, but it's also a very bad development for America.
00:36:02.000The 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.
00:36:19.000Now, once again, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas and Samuel Lito dissented.
00:36:23.000President Donald Trump's two high court nominees, Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, did not register dissent.
00:36:30.000Now, the Justice Department argued rightly: quote, allowing federal immigration officials access to undocumented immigrants, the state simply needs to remain neutral, end quote.
00:36:39.000And that, quote, the state law openly seeks to undermine federal immigration enforcement.
00:36:44.000And the federal government must set immigration policy, not the states.
00:36:48.000You 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.
00:36:53.000That's what a federal government is for.
00:36:55.000We have the Civil Rights Act that says you can't have protections under the Civil Rights Act in California, but not Maine.
00:36:59.000We don't have unified immigration policy.
00:37:02.000That is the role of the federal government.
00:37:04.000If you're in a country, you have to have the same laws under that country.
00:37:07.000And look, there's also the issue of crime.
00:37:09.000As 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.
00:37:28.000We hate Trump so much that we want to let illegals come and live in America, screw the federal law.
00:37:34.000They also make the weak argument that you've clamped down on the illegal immigration.
00:37:38.000People living in those communities won't talk to the police.
00:37:40.000Now, this is a weak argument for a few reasons.
00:37:43.000Just as we're discussing with Black Lives Matter, it's often the families in these communities that want the criminals out the most.
00:37:50.000If you don't enforce your laws, you get chaos.
00:37:52.000Either our immigration system means something or none of the laws mean anything at all whatsoever.
00:37:58.000And 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.
00:38:06.000They're trying to appease some sort of leftist intelligentsia.
00:38:10.000There is no way that you can make a fair and impartial textual interpretation of how they came to the conclusions that they did.
00:38:18.000Here'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.
00:38:28.000Clarence Thomas is my North Star here.
00:38:32.000And if you don't know who Clarence Thomas is, some teacher somewhere did something immoral to you to not teach you about Clarence Thomas.
00:38:38.000Clarence Thomas is a black conservative Supreme Court justice that has been slandered, lied about, silenced, and ignored by the mainstream press.
00:38:45.000He is one of the most phenomenal American heroes in the history of the country.
00:39:02.000But Clarence Thomas has been through so much.
00:39:03.000So if Clarence Thomas rules a certain way, and Kavanaugh or Gorsuch or Alito or Roberts disagree with Clarence Thomas, what's wrong with you?
00:39:12.000The 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.
00:39:20.000And he slammed it down and they held the line strong.
00:39:52.000PepsiCo 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.
00:40:00.000The 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.
00:40:37.000And 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.
00:40:53.000Now, corporate America's woke view of society is, when you think about it, unbelievably offensive.
00:40:58.000And I'm not one to easily get offended, but it's offensive.
00:41:00.000How weak do they think America is that our sensibilities would be offended by a syrup bottle?
00:41:05.000How weak are we presenting ourselves to be where they would think that?
00:41:08.000In 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.
00:41:20.000So I guess less black representation in corporate America is a good thing.
00:41:24.000It's an image that harkens back to the antebellum plantation, he said.
00:41:27.000Aunt Jemima is that of a stereotype that is premised on the idea of black inferiority and otherness, Richardson said.
00:41:34.000I mean, that takes such incredible intellectual and historical calisthenics.
00:41:37.000You sound like a really unhappy person.
00:41:39.000He 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.
00:41:48.000The mental gymnastics at this point is exhausting.
00:41:51.000But is it really urgent, Professor Richardson?
00:42:40.000And if you don't fight early, they will destroy you eventually.
00:42:44.000And 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.
00:42:55.000The United States didn't inherit slavery from anybody.
00:43:40.000Democrats actually believe that we invented slavery.
00:43:43.000I mean, slavery is thousands of years old.
00:43:46.000And by the way, those pyramids that were built by guess what? Slaves, like 3,000 years ago, more like 4,000 years ago, actually.
00:43:55.000And by the way, how about where we get the word slave from?
00:43:58.000It's the Latin term Slav because the Slavic people were often forced into what we now know as slavery in the Middle Ages.
00:44:05.000And Tim Kaine is just another radical left-wing Democrat who appears to be getting his news from the 1619 project.
00:44:12.000But here's a piece of information that they won't teach you in your schools.
00:44:14.000One 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.
00:44:26.000It was America that began the process of abolishing slavery, not inventing slavery.
00:44:31.000It 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.
00:44:53.000And if you look in a historical context, 100 years is a very short period of time.
00:44:57.000The fact that we abolished slavery within 100 years of our country's formation and the founding of our country is incredible.
00:45:05.000That actually goes to show that the country was founded on the abolition of trying to get rid of slavery, not the opposite of it.
00:45:11.000They say, well, this country was founded on slavery.
00:45:14.000No, 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.
00:45:23.000In fact, the idea of slavery was 5,000 years old at the time.
00:45:26.000We still have slavery happening right now around the world.
00:45:29.000This is such revisionist, pernicious, anti-American activist history by Senator Tim Kaine.
00:45:35.000But 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.
00:45:58.000The left has opposed it every single turn.
00:45:59.000But 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.
00:46:06.000Email me your questions, everybody, freedom at charliekirk.com.
