00:00:29.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:00:40.000Welcome to this special episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:43.000I am just so thrilled and honored to have a hero of mine, someone that I actually got into conservatism largely because of Sean Hannity.
00:00:52.000Sean, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:54.000All right, first of all, you're the rock star.
00:00:57.000I'm really proud of all the work you're doing.
00:00:59.000That blows me away because all my life and career, I've talked about all the guys that literally helped lift me up and supported me when I was starting out.
00:01:08.000And if not for people like you, Charlie, and the work you're doing every day, seriously, from inside the deepest part and crevices of my heart, it is so good to see young people that understand the moment, understand what's at stake, understand that this is about a great country that we can preserve together.
00:03:25.000And I would think about your America, their America.
00:03:28.000And when I say, you know, live free or die, America and the world on the brink, I'm not joking.
00:03:34.000And very specifically, it will be probably the biggest choice election by far in my lifetime, and maybe since 1860.
00:03:44.000And, you know, there's a lot at stake.
00:03:46.000We can go through the issues if you want, but there's not one issue we agree on that I can think of for the most part.
00:03:53.000Yeah, and you wrote this, and it just really sent chills down my spine.
00:03:56.000You wrote this book to sound an alarm as a warning to my fellow patriots about the left's undying commitment to turn America into a land our parents, founders, and framers wouldn't recognize.
00:04:37.000Reagan, I quote him often when I give speeches, said, freedom, Charlie, and you know this is but one generation away from extinction.
00:04:46.000And, you know, if you want to understand, if socialism is adopted, if their stated goal is adopted, America as we know it then becomes unrecognizable.
00:05:00.000Look, I can understand psychologically there's a component of maybe people that have been indoctrinated in schools, and you are great at this because you're going into hostile environments every day, and you're saying, you know what, there's another way of thinking here.
00:05:15.000So maybe the idea that people think, Charlie, that some things are, oh, everything's going to be free and they're going to forgive my loans and I'll have a guaranteed government job, guaranteed government food.
00:05:48.000If we're talking about law and order, they've sided in Portland and in Seattle and New York and Chicago with the radicals.
00:05:57.000Joe Biden is yet that I know of said one good thing about the 99% of cops that protect and serve and put their lives on the line for us every day.
00:06:57.000If those plans, stated plans are implemented, America will go down the path, you know, the trash bin of history.
00:07:04.000As Reagan said, freedom one generation away from extinction.
00:07:08.000We will, I shudder to think what will happen for you and your children and my kids and maybe one day grandkids.
00:07:17.000Although I don't know if I'm ready for that.
00:07:19.000Well, I love the framing because as the founder said, either we're going to live free and defend it right now, or we're going to have a country that we don't want to live in.
00:07:26.000And that's really the framing that is so important right now.
00:07:29.000And you talk about, and I'm really pleased about this, Sean, because I think we have forgotten about the Russia hoax too quickly in the conservative movement.
00:07:55.000Yeah, I mean, I call it, Charlie, the biggest corruption abuse of power scandal in history.
00:08:01.000And the Ukraine was, oh, okay, we failed with Mueller after three years.
00:08:07.000We won't even bother with a special prosecutor.
00:08:09.000Now, I'm going backwards here, but to get to Ukraine, you know, they're talking about quid and pros and quos, but you have to ignore their presidential candidate on video saying, you're not getting a billion U.S. taxpayer dollars unless you fire that prosecutor, his name is Shokin, who is investigating my son Hunter, who went on GMA and said, Do you have any experience in oil?
00:08:56.000What we now know, and I believe what's coming, it's like, and this is where the media is corrupt because they're just the propaganda wing of all things Democratic socialists.
00:09:07.000But we now know and have all the evidence that we'd ever need is that they protected their favorite candidate, Hillary Clinton, for things you and I and everybody that follows you and you have a massive audience would literally never get away with.
00:09:25.000If you had subpoenaed emails, Charlie Kirk, and you decided to delete them and you decided to acid wash your hard drive with something I had never heard about, bleach pit, and bust up your devices with hammers, you would go to jail.
00:09:39.000If you violated the Espionage Act, you'd go to jail.
00:09:46.000We know crossfire hurricane representatives actually went to brief President Trump and General Flynn on national security, but they were there to try and get information on Trump and Russia.
00:09:58.000The most amazing part of this, because the Democrats and the media lied for all these years, is that they knew and they said and they wrote and they even testified there was never any evidence.
00:10:11.000But there was a dirty Russian dossier.
00:10:14.000And now we know even the New York Times acknowledged full of Russian disinformation.
00:10:19.000And that was used, and they were warned not to use it.
00:10:23.000But high-ranking people abusing their power, wanting to take out candidate Trump, then transition Team Trump, and then deep into the presidency of Donald Trump.
00:10:31.000They used the dirty Russian misinformation dossier to ruin Carter Page's life and ruin his civil liberties and constitutional rights, but more importantly, to spy on candidate Trump.
00:10:43.000And then they had their insurance policy.
00:10:45.000The fact that the mob and the media ignores it is beyond any comprehension I have.
00:12:05.000Sad, actually, that this could happen.
00:12:07.000That was going to be my follow-up question, Sean, because when I travel and we get thousands of emails a month on this topic, when are people going to go to jail?
00:13:16.000I don't have a crystal ball, but I do know all of the facts that are in the public are enough to indict many of the names that your audience is most familiar with.
00:13:27.000I would argue Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page.
00:13:32.000I'd like to know what Clapper and Brennan's role in all of this ends up being and others.
00:13:38.000The more fascinating, deep question is: will they get to that January 5th, 2017 meeting inside the Oval Office?
00:13:46.000This is when, remember, Biden said to George Stephanopoulos, oh, I don't know anything about this, you know, this whole impeachment Russia thing.
00:13:55.000He was the one saying, bring up the Logan Act.
00:13:57.00015 days later, Susan Rice in that meeting did the CYA memo the day that Donald Trump was inaugurated.
00:14:03.000Obama in that meeting shocked Sally Yates by saying he knew everything about the Kisley Act Michael Flynn call.
00:14:13.000If we, look, to sum it up, I think we're going to get there because the evidence is that overwhelming.
00:14:24.000Because if you're going to raid Manafort's home pre-dawn raid and you're going to raid Roger Stone's home for lying to Congress, by the way, many of the names I mentioned were referred for the same crime.
00:14:37.000And you're going to pull 29 guys in tactical gear, frogmen, and tip-off CNN cameras, and then have a biased jury four-person.
00:14:45.000We won't have equal justice and equal application of our laws.
00:14:49.000And worse than that, Charlie, is we lose our Constitution.
00:14:52.000Because all our laws are predicated on that great document.
00:15:07.000And look, I completely agree because if we do not have people, and I say this as carefully as I can, in handcuffs for what they did to Donald Trump, then I will lose faith in the American justice system.
00:16:06.000I have my sources, people that have their own ideas based on some knowledge.
00:16:12.000For whatever reason, and I think this goes back to the Obamacare decision, he has allowed how the court appears to influence his decision-making.
00:16:25.000I also sense with no evidence whatsoever, he's not a big fan of President Trump.
00:16:31.000But that should not come into his thinking.
00:16:34.000Now, if getting rid of bureaucracy and lowering taxes and energy independence and securing our borders and law and order are all part of this election, let me tell you another big part of it.
00:16:48.000And it's, you know, we're taping this 90-whatever days away from the election day.
00:16:53.000What about, and we got to ask this question, what about the Supreme Court?
00:17:49.000Besides that, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh have been tremendous and terrific versus Roberts.
00:17:53.000I just think we have to give the audience a sense of continued conviction that the Trump-appointed justices will continue to rule correctly.
00:18:01.000And Clarence Thomas, and you know the Thomas family, they get no credit at all.
00:18:06.000I mean, what he has done, and can you comment on that?
00:18:08.000Because you've actually been, you opened my eyes to that like eight years ago.
00:18:12.000And I never even learned about Clarence Thomas as a high schooler until you first mentioned it.
00:18:16.000Just as a quick aside on his incredible career.
00:18:19.000I'd like to do on TV, and I do it on radio too sometimes.
00:18:22.000I call it the Hannity History Lesson because I lived through all of this.
00:18:25.000I know this is going to, you're not even 33, but my radio journey started in 1987.
00:19:38.000Because Clarence Thomas and Justice Scalia are the people we need on that court.
00:19:44.000We call them constitutionalists or originalists, the original intent, not people that would cite foreign law as liberal justices have done, or not people that feel that they can rule by judicial fiat and dictate or legislate from the bench.
00:20:01.000You know, Democrats always wanted the courts to do that which they could never do legislatively or win at the ballot box.
00:20:09.000And that's why they want, we call them activist justices.
00:20:12.000Clarence Thomas has shown a fidelity to the Constitution, as did Anthony Scalia, that is beyond enviable.
00:20:21.000And the difference in styles were always interesting, too, because Justice Thomas would always be quiet, ask very few questions.
00:20:29.000Anthony and Scalia was in there, you know, wrestling with people.
00:21:19.000Can you just talk about where we are heading into the election?
00:21:21.000A lot of Trump supporters, they're falling victim to these suppression polls.
00:21:25.000I wish that wasn't the case, but it seems like the memory of 2016 has faded where people forget we were down by double digits.
00:21:32.000Can you just give a little vote of confidence to some of our listeners out there that think we're just losing?
00:21:37.000I want to give the vote of confidence, but I want people to feel this way.
00:21:42.000I want people to think, I'll use a football analogy that our mutual friend Linda, that you know, who's your biggest fan, my radio producer.
00:22:10.000We got to cross the plane, march down the field, cross the plane, and hit the extra point to win.
00:22:16.000So if people feel a sense of genuine urgency and worry and concern, I'm cool with that because fear often is a great motivator, not irrational fear, but if people do not vote, you will get the government that they're telling you they're going to give you.
00:24:43.000All these liberal cities where the violence we've been talking about takes place, they've all have one thing in common.
00:24:49.000They've been run by liberal Democrats for decades, right?
00:24:52.000Most of these states have been run into the ground by liberal Democrats for decades.
00:24:58.000If you want to know what America will look like, if Biden, Bolshevik, Bernie, AOC, Pelosi, Schumer, and Bozo, that team gets in place, look at New York, state and city.
00:25:11.000Look at Chicago, the city, Illinois, the state.
00:26:18.000Barry Farber, who was a mentor of mine, just recently passed away at like 90, 91.
00:26:25.000And he always said, there's never been a country in the history of mankind that has accumulated more power and abused it less than the United States.
00:26:34.000There's never been a country in the history of mankind that has accumulated more power, abused it less, but used it to advance the human condition.
00:26:42.000The reason America is great and exceptional, if I can say that today, it's not perfect, but it's great and exceptional, is because of its people and because of the fundamentals of liberty and freedom.
00:26:55.000So that, you know, natural rights versus governmental rights, natural rights come from God endowed by our creator, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
00:27:03.000Well, you can't pursue happiness these days in Chicago, New York, Portland, and Seattle.
00:27:36.000Because I've had the opportunity to meet him, not as much as you, obviously, and get to know him, but a lot of people hear misrepresentations and lies about who he is as a human being.
