00:00:44.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:06.000Yesterday was a good day with the affirmative action ruling.
00:01:09.000And I just want to repeat: President Donald Trump is being indicted because he put three people on the Supreme Court that are striking down and slowing down the cultural revolution.
00:01:20.000We are living through a cultural revolution in our country, but it's not going as seamless as the bad guys would hope.
00:01:29.000The Supreme Court is saying, hold on, stop.
00:02:53.000That involves a private business and LGBTQ mafia activism.
00:03:00.000Okay, so it's 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis.
00:03:05.000Remember, you had the cake case that came out of Colorado.
00:03:08.000This is a case out of Colorado and yet another installment in the bake the cake gay rights war.
00:03:14.000Lori Smith creates wedding websites and the state of Colorado wanted to force her to create gay wedding websites despite her strong objection to gay marriage as a Christian.
00:03:27.000It has been well documented that the human rights campaign and the gay mafia, they have millions, tens of millions of dollars, and they go out and they set the stage.
00:03:44.000They send in people that know the script very, very well, and they will relentlessly use lawfare to try to get their way.
00:03:53.000In a 6-3 decision authored by Neil Gorsuch, the Supreme Court ruled that the First Amendment means Smith cannot be forced to create a website that violates her faith.
00:04:02.000The head of the human rights campaign, Kelly Robinson, says this ruling, quote, is a deeply troubling crack in our progress and should be alarming to us all.
00:04:10.000This is a clear-cut sign that this is a great ruling.
00:04:16.000You might say, well, Charlie, you're trying to say that you're okay with businesses saying no to people they do not want to do business with.
00:04:23.000Well, we have a lot of experience with this, actually, at Turning Point USA, a lot of experience.
00:04:29.000And I could say, yes, I am okay with it.
00:04:31.000It would be easier for me to say, you know what?
00:04:34.000Everybody should be forced to do business with people they don't like.
00:04:37.000Do you know how many dozens and hundreds of hotels, venues we've had to go through throughout the years at Turning Point USA that have canceled us from Ithaca, New York to Brooklyn, New York?
00:05:10.000We'll go to the court of public opinion and we'll say we don't like it.
00:05:14.000Now, if it's a government facility, different aspect.
00:05:17.000But we understand that when you have liberty, you're going to have certain people wall off their doors to their private business and say, no, no, no.
00:05:28.000And in fact, this might have actually been a violation of the Civil Rights Act, of which we have kind of taken a Caldwell approach and think that the Civil Rights Act in 1964 was way too broad and largely poorly written.
00:05:40.000But that's a different topic for a different time.
00:05:43.000Let's focus on what's in front of us today.
00:05:45.000But we had a Blexit event in New York where we had eight different venues cancel us, eight venues, because they said that Turning Point USA Blexit spreads hate.
00:05:57.000That it's a hate group, that it's a white supremacist group.
00:06:00.000Yeah, that Blexit, Brandon Tatum, Candace Owens, white supremacist group.
00:06:05.000Now, we went to the court of public opinion and we complained publicly, but we know they have a right to do that.
00:06:10.000In fact, I think it's a good thing that private businesses and entrepreneurs are not forced by the government to host an organization like Turning Point USA that they detest.
00:06:20.000If they don't want the money, then turn it away.
00:06:22.000They're the ones that would lose the ability to sell goods and services and rent out their venue, their theater.
00:06:50.000They want to go to every last entrepreneur and say, you don't agree with trans surgeries for kids, do business with us.
00:06:57.000Now, the gay marriage thing is one aspect of this, but let's take a more extreme and real example.
00:07:02.000Let's pretend that you're a website designer, of which this was the issue.
00:07:07.000And let's pretend that you find it objectionable that eight-year-olds, 10-year-olds, and 11-year-olds are getting chemical castration surgery.
00:07:21.000Let's just say that you think it's really obscene that 12-year-olds have to get their parts chopped off.
00:07:30.000But let's say that a company comes in, Pfizer comes in, and they want you to design a website against your values.
00:07:36.000Do you have the constitutional right to say, I don't want to design art that's against my values?
00:08:23.000You're trying to tell me that there is some sort of a lack of gay website designers in Colorado, as if this was some sort of like civil rights campaign that they couldn't find a single website designer in all of Colorado to accommodate their needs.
00:08:40.000The three liberal justices have dissents, meanwhile, arguing that, yes, the government can literally force you to celebrate a gay wedding every step of the way, which of course then would expand to you can you have to do business with trans activists, you have to do business.
00:08:54.000So let me give you another example of how far-reaching this could be.
00:08:58.000Let's pretend, for example, a loop run, they chemically castrate kids.
00:09:06.000They want to advertise on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:10:53.000The ability to say no keeps you free and that bothers people.
00:10:57.000Imagine, though, should a Jewish kosher restaurant owner be forced to make a BLT bacon lettuce tomato against kosher laws on the Sabbath for a gay pride parade?
00:11:29.000If the decision went the other way, by the way, a Muslim director could be forced to make a pro-Zionism film or vice versa.
00:11:36.000A Jewish film director could be forced to make an anti-Israel film.
00:11:42.000The significance of this allows for expression, for agency, and we also need to make sure you understand the nuance between private and public.
00:11:53.000When you're dealing with private businesses, private association, entrepreneurs, you have the ability to say, no, when you're dealing with in government, it's a separate issue.
00:12:05.000Okay, but let me read this a little bit further, some of the notes we have here.
00:12:08.000To justify this level of invasion, Justice Sotomayor, who again is the dumbest Supreme Court justice, says that if we do not have the government force the celebration of gay marriage on everyone, we'll have countless hate crimes against gay people.
00:12:24.000And then in the irony of ironies, she cites the Matthew Shepard killing as her example.
00:12:29.000Matthew Shepard, you'll recall, was a gay man murdered in Wyoming in the late 1990s.
00:12:33.000There's a federal hate crime named after him, but as shown by research by a gay journalist, Shepard wasn't killed in a hate crime.
00:12:40.000One of his killers, in fact, was a former gay lover of his, and the killing was drug-related.
00:12:45.000In her dissent, arguing Christians should be forced to make websites.
00:12:49.000She mentions Matthew Shepard, but she doesn't even know the story.
00:12:52.000The United States Constitution has a preference for liberty, for freedom.
00:13:01.000The ability for you as an individual to associate with who you want to associate with.
00:13:23.000And then you must participate with us.
00:13:28.000If this decision would have went the opposite direction, you could then have churches have to be forced to rent out their gymnasium potentially for a gay wedding.
00:13:41.000You could then have hotels or restaurants have to have their services go to people against their deeply held beliefs.
00:13:53.000The LGBTQ mafia, they already are doing the thing that they want to force the other side not to do.
00:14:02.000You go into downtown San Francisco, or if you go into downtown New York and you walk into any one of those stores and you wear a there are only two sexes t-shirt with a make America great again hat and you just go try and get a beer, I bet they're going to try to deny you service and they have a right to do that.
00:14:25.000You see, what we have with this decision is the kind of gay movement that was supposed to shill speech and shutter our ability to push back against this, put in its place.
00:14:44.000Now, some people say, well, Charlie, what about skin color?
00:14:57.000And the Civil Rights Act was written on the idea that there were no other options for people, particularly black people in the South, to be able to shop, to be able to associate with.
00:15:09.000Plenty of options for people in the, not only there options, the entire system is set up to favor them.
00:15:18.000And I've said it before, the 1964 Civil Rights Act was a drastic action for a drastic case.
00:15:28.000Are you feeling burned out and a little tired?
00:15:30.000Look, I want to tell you about something that I've become a big believer in.
00:15:33.000And if you do not know about it, you got to research it.
00:15:38.000NAD is a precursor for your body to be able to create ATP, which is basically the life force of everything that you do.
00:15:46.000And look, there's a lot of people out there that are promising energy and doing all this, but go do some research on NAD and go see actually how incredibly important it is for high performance to be able to go actually get it to the next level.
00:16:28.000I eat well and do other things as well.
00:16:31.000But if you look at NADH, especially when it combines with CoQ10 and marine collagen, it boosts your body's cellular function.
00:16:38.000I would never tell you guys to go do something I myself did not do.
00:16:42.000And Strong Cell has been able to put together a scientific breakthrough in cellular health replenishment that combines NADH, CoQ10, and marine collagen.
00:16:51.000When you combine them together, you get mental clarity.
00:17:00.000So go to strongcell.com forward slash Charlie today and see for yourself.
00:17:05.000It's not a stimulant, it doesn't contain any caffeine.
00:17:07.000I'm talking about overall health from the cellular level.
00:17:10.000NADH has been called the anti-aging enzyme that helps with so many issues like brain fog, short-term memory loss, blood pressure, heart disease, blood sugar retention, and so much more.
00:18:27.000Will walk us through the significance of this week, and then we'll get into particulars of the victories that this Supreme Court has issued, the opinions they've issued.
00:18:41.000Thanks so much for having me on, Charlie.
00:18:43.000You know, I think what we've seen, not just in this week, but in the past two years, is a seismic shift in constitutional jurisprudence in this country.
00:18:52.000I think a lot of the folks who said that, you know, who cast doubt on President Trump's judicial picks, those of us who worked on those judicial picks, they all have egg on their face right now because what we've seen in the last two years is one of the momentous changes in American law, really, that anyone could have imagined that anyone, a few could have foreseen.
00:19:14.000This week, we saw the Supreme Court speak strongly and finally overturn race-based affirmative action, which has been in one way or another a lab in this country for over 50 years.
00:19:26.000We've seen yesterday and today two outstanding religious liberty opinions in the Groff case and 303 Creative overturning the Biden administration's wild overreach on student loan forgiveness just go down the line in case after case.
00:19:43.000The conservative legal movement is ascendant and those who would do violence to our Constitution, the separation of powers and the laws that ultimately bind us together are in full-on retreat.
00:20:36.000So if you can imagine, it's even worse than that, Charlie.
00:20:39.000What the Biden administration did, they took an act called the HEROES Act, which is a post-9-11 act intended to benefit veterans.
00:20:48.000And they argued that language in that act gave them the right to, as you said, forgive billions and billions and billions of dollars of student loans taken out by people who just had nothing to do with the original purpose of this act.
00:21:03.000The challenge we as a movement had in challenging this act was finding a party withstanding, a party that could articulate a harm from what Biden was doing beyond the harm that all of us suffer as a country when the government acts lawlessly in that way.
00:21:20.000And a team of lawyers under former Missouri Attorney General, now Senator Eric Schmidt, led by a guy named Michael Tallant, who's a good friend of mine, found a Missouri state entity called Mohila that they believed had the right to sue.
00:21:34.000Today, the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision said that they were right, that Missouri, this Missouri entity called Mohila, did have the right to sue.
00:21:44.000And most importantly, they ruled in a strong opinion that what the Biden administration did was totally extra-legal.
00:21:51.000There was no statutory authorization for them to do that.
00:21:55.000And in a country like ours, governed by the rule of law, the Biden administration had no right to just go out there and cancel all of this debt.
00:22:04.000So more than anything else, it was a vindication of the rule of law and a vindication of our system of separation of powers, in addition to being a vindication and a victory for people all over the country who paid off their student loans or who, like you, didn't go to college, but went on to great success in their lives.
00:23:16.000This is in some ways better than we could have possibly have imagined a decade ago.
00:23:21.000Donald Trump deserves extraordinary credit, but also the Federalist Society worked very, very hard for years to get good judges in place.
00:23:29.000So we'll talk about the significance here.
00:23:31.000And I'm trying to prompt you towards a pace of positivity because our audience needs it because there's just like black pills being dispensed every day.
00:23:47.000And remember, it was just last year that we overturned Roe versus Wade.
00:23:52.000We got the Bruin case, which is the most important Second Amendment case in a generation.
00:23:58.000This court that really, as you said, President Trump deserves a ton of credit for, is shifting the bounds of the law and is just changing the realm of the possible.
00:24:11.000We finally, after a century of liberal judicial activism, have a court that's willing to stand up for the Constitution, stand up for the rule of law, stand up for the separation of powers.
00:24:22.000And we are just starting to see how much that will mean for America.
00:24:27.000I think in the coming years, you're going to see more litigation over race conscious, basically racist policies in government contracting in an American society.
00:24:38.000I think we're going to see a lot more attention paid to issues of religious liberty, making sure that Americans of faith have full access to all aspects of American society and won't face discrimination for their beliefs or their practices.
00:24:55.000I think we're just at the leading edge of what's going to be a revolution in constitutional law in this country.
00:25:01.000And as you said, President Trump deserves a ton of credit for that.
00:25:05.000Three great justices, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett.
00:25:08.000As you know, I was honored to work on the confirmations of Kavanaugh and Barrett.
00:25:13.000All of us who were involved in that process are just really proud right now.
00:26:12.000It takes sometimes the divine grace of the Lord, which I think played a role in Donald Trump's victory in 2016.
00:26:19.000And then it takes, you know, some taking risks.
00:26:22.000And you have to have good complaints and you have to have the right infrastructure.
00:26:25.000And so I think all these things are super important.
00:26:28.000So, Will, what would you give this session or this, now that they're out for the summer, how would you grade this?
00:26:37.000A, B, C, how would you grade this, these opinions that they put forward?
00:26:42.000It's a clear A, and you'd have to be crazy to think otherwise.
00:26:46.000There are always going to be folks on the right, you know, who are sitting in their basements rage tweeting about how things could have been better.
00:26:52.000It's really tough to see how things could be better.
00:26:56.000The idea of overturning race-based affirmative action finally after 50 years.
00:27:02.000I mean, these are, as you said, it's a generational fight.
00:27:05.000The conservative legal movement was out in the wilderness for decades.
00:27:10.000And thankfully, we were positioned after President Trump's win in 2016 to confirm great judges and justices.
00:27:17.000Remember, it's not just the Supreme Court.
00:27:19.000We now have outstanding judges all over the country in federal courts of appeals and federal district courts.
00:27:26.000And as litigation is generated as a result of the cases this week in higher education, in terms of religious liberty, in terms of the separation of powers, core constitutional principles, we're going to see that hard work finally at long last pay off.
00:27:59.000They don't believe in the Constitution.
00:28:01.000They don't believe in the separation of powers.
00:28:03.000They don't believe in the ideals and institutions that made this country great.
00:28:07.000And the second those institutions are no longer advancing leftism, the left will jump through any hoop, jump over any barrier in an effort to tear those institutions down.
00:28:17.000And in the attack that we've seen on the Supreme Court in recent months, that's where that comes from.
00:28:25.000The left is furious and they should be because we have finally taken back the federal judiciary and we are finally vindicating the Constitution in courtrooms all across America.
00:28:37.000Alito told people that he really trusted after the Obama era and those Supreme Court decisions, he was so depressed that he might have just retired out of despair.
00:29:20.000Just when you thought the government would stop trying to take over health care, Senator Bernie Sanders, that socialist Marxist communist, is pushing something that is no good.
00:29:29.000I'm urgently asking you to support the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste to stop the Senate from passing the Sanders Bill, S-1339.
00:29:37.000It would raise the price of prescription drugs by making it harder for pharmacy benefit managers to continue to save an average of $1,000 per year for 275 million Americans just like you.
00:29:46.000Bernie Sanders, he is a sneaky commie.
00:30:39.000Joe Biden announces that he is going to put forward a new executive action on student loans.
00:30:46.000So the student loan decision, let's talk about this for a second, is a great decision.
00:30:51.000Any one of you that did not go to college, this is an insult to you.
00:30:54.000Every one of you that made decisions to have less student loans, it's an insult to you, what Joe Biden was trying to do.
00:31:02.000What Joe Biden was trying to do was unilaterally forgive student loans.
00:31:08.000Biden's plan announced last year was to forgive $10,000 in student loan debt for individuals earning less than $125,000 per year, as well as $20,000 in debt for those who received Pell Grants.
00:31:19.000For those who received Pell Grants, for example, the estimated cost of this plan was roughly $400 billion.
00:31:26.000Biden has tried to claim authority to do this by signing the HEROES Act, a post-9-11 law.
00:31:32.000The HEROES Act responded to 9-11 by giving the Secretary of Education the power to waive or modify any statutory or regulatory provision for somebody, quote, affected by a war or military operation or national emergency.
00:31:45.000So Biden took this law, argued that COVID was one such national emergency, ridiculous, and then just said it gave him the power to just modify or forgive all student loans in America.
00:31:57.000It was completely ludicrous stretching of the law in question, and the Supreme Court called it out in their ruling.
00:32:02.000If Congress wants the president to be able to forgive student loans en masse, they need to pass a law that actually clearly grants that power John Roberts' rights, but they won't be able to get that through Congress because it's deeply unpopular.
00:32:16.000It's incredible how biased the coverage of this is.
00:32:19.000For example, they're saying that this is supposed to be a relief bill.
00:32:23.000America's student borrowers have already received a three-year pause on their student loans due to COVID.
00:32:28.000This was a gigantic monetary giveaway.
00:32:32.000During the pause, their loans didn't collect interest, and thanks to Biden's inflation, their real monetary value has declined dramatically.
00:32:40.000Yet the press is presenting it as incredibly unjust that borrowers will finally have to restart payments this fall.
00:32:46.000They're protesting that borrowers will finally have to repay the rest of what they owe.
00:32:49.000And of course, the press acts like this will be incredibly burdensome to do, even though they constantly claim the Biden economy is amazing.
00:32:59.000For any one of you that worked your way through college, played college sports or athletics, that made the tough financial decisions, Joe Biden trying to unilaterally with a pen get rid of all student loan provisions and just say, you know what, we're going to forgive student loans was an insult to you.
00:33:18.000And the Supreme Court acted justly in this regard.
00:33:22.000I want to reiterate a point I made earlier.
00:33:24.000There's a fair amount of negativity out there, and we receive it in our email inbox, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:33:30.000Oh, Charlie, things will never get better.
