00:00:21.000I first want to say thank you to those of you that support our program at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:26.000If it's $10, $50, $100, whatever it is, thank you guys so much for getting behind us and for helping us out at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:45.000And actually, you'll hear at the end of this episode if you want to win a MAGA doctrine.
00:00:49.000However, if you want to get a signed copy of Donald Trump Jr.'s new book for the first 15 people that type in Charlie Kirk show to your podcast provider, subscribe it and email it to us and get a friend to do the same, then I'll send you a copy of Don's new book, which comes out very soon.
00:01:40.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:55.000Again, I woke up pretty early on Monday morning and I started to watch footage of what was happening the night prior in my original hometown, Chicago.
00:02:08.000I'm originally from the suburbs of Chicago.
00:03:37.000Just so you know, I've got plenty of messages like that.
00:03:40.000People that are blaming President Donald Trump for the crime spree of criminals and thugs and gangbangers.
00:03:48.000Somehow that's President Donald Trump's fault.
00:03:51.000I really believe America is the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:03:56.000And I want to continue to believe that.
00:03:59.000And if people continually vote these people into office, I don't know what I'm going to think anymore.
00:04:04.000This is from the article, quote, videos circulating online show widespread looting and clashes with police across Chicago's Magnificent Mile Shopping District early Monday, sparked by an officer involved shooting hours earlier that left a 20-year-old man wounded.
00:04:20.000And we even saw some unbelievable footage of Tesla and their storefront getting looted.
00:04:25.000And that's a great time, it's a great transition to actually talk about our good friends at Rock Auto.
00:04:30.000With the ever-increasing number of makes of cars and models such as Fiat, Kia, Pacifica, and XT5, it is now impossible to stock all the parts you need in a traditional chain storefront.
00:04:41.000Why endure often pointless or seemingly intimidating questioning?
00:04:46.000And wait while a counterman orders the parts on his computer, choosing only the brand his warehouse happens to carry for an extra premium or higher price.
00:04:54.000You have computers with access to rockauto.com right at home in your pocket.
00:05:01.000One reason to repair and maintain your cars is to save money that you can then use for more important things like the mortgage or for food.
00:05:08.000Why would you choose to spend 30, 50, or 100% more for the exact same auto parts at a chain store or new car dealership?
00:05:15.000For example, maybe you have a Delphi FG1456 fuel pump assembly for a 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey for $353.99 at Advance, which is a big chain store, and $225.79 at rockauto.com.
00:07:04.000The violence and the rioting began Sunday afternoon after police responded to a report of a man with a gun in the city's Englewood neighborhood.
00:07:12.000Police pursued the suspect, who was on foot when he turned, quote, and turned and fired shots at officers before being struck himself and taken to a local hospital.
00:07:22.000Deputy Chief of Police Dolanda Talley told Fox 32 Chicago.
00:07:28.000To make a situation even worse, a crowd which had gathered at the scene started throwing objects at officers like concrete, bricks, and blocks.
00:08:39.000They need to be tried and put in prison for the rest of their life.
00:08:41.000There's going to be a zero tolerance policy at all whatsoever.
00:08:44.000And if a police officer is threatened in any way, shape, or form, they should be able to defend themselves.
00:08:48.000I know people in Chicago, including many people I'm very close to, that were texting me about this and they said, the country is out of control.
00:09:01.000I know the streets that have just turned into absolute bedlam.
00:09:06.000And for those of you that have never been to Chicago or you only visited once or twice, you might say, oh, what is the difference?
00:09:10.000Chicago has always been a city where controversies and riots have happened.
00:09:17.000But it's Chicago's ability to be able to overcome that, despite all the institutional and political corruption, that made Chicago a safe place to live, generally in certain parts, despite the gang neighborhoods like Englewood.
00:09:31.000You have to understand where the looting and the rioting, the arson was happening.
00:09:37.000It would be as if the rioters went straight into Beverly Hills, which they have in recent weeks, or the rioters went straight into Madison Avenue.
00:09:45.000This was in Streeterville in Chicago, one of the nicest parts of one of the greatest, once great cities in the world.
00:09:51.000Police arrested over 100 people so far on charges ranging from disorderly conduct to battery against police.
00:09:58.000However, the district attorney for Chicago, Kim Fox, who is another incredibly dangerous person, she's letting first-degree murderers out on cash bail.
00:10:09.000And we're all surprised all of a sudden that crime is running the streets in Chicago.
00:10:13.00013 officers were injured or hurt in the rioting.
00:10:15.000This includes a sergeant who was struck in the face of the bottle, another officer who had his nose broken from looters who assaulted him, and a security guard and a civilian who are now in critical condition after being hit with gunfire during looting overnight.
00:10:29.000Five guns in total have been recovered from those arrested.
00:10:32.000The Chicago police superintendent David Brown said, quote, this was an incident of pure criminality.
00:10:37.000This was an act of violence against our police officers and against our city.
00:10:41.000I, for one, refuse to allow these cowardly acts to hold our city hostage.
00:10:44.000CPD will not stand by as our beautiful downtown becomes someplace that people fear.
00:10:48.000He's a total loser, this guy David Brown, okay?
00:10:52.000I've had enough of these guys' statements.
00:10:53.000Now, he might be on the right side generally.
00:10:56.000None of these people wanted President Trump's support.
00:10:59.000President Trump wanted to bring in federal forces and federal agents, and all of them, including Mary Lori Lightfoot, who might have said something nicely, all of a sudden, they don't want it.
00:11:10.000And look, we're also getting reports that the Chicago Police Department detectives will comb over high-definition footage of suspects and vehicles from the looting scenes, suggesting that more arrests are coming.
00:11:28.000They're overseeing an entire city where there are hundreds and hundreds of black people that are shooting hundreds and hundreds of other black people every single summer.
00:11:38.000He said this, I pledge to pursue these offenders to the fullest extent of the law.
00:11:42.000A heavy police presence will continue throughout the downtown area today until further notice.
00:11:46.000I guess that sounds all right, but why now?
00:12:19.000So let's play a clip of David Brown talking to reporters.
00:12:22.000Frankly, sounding sensible, but I'm tougher on David Brown than most conservatives because I've seen the Chicago police be completely inactivated for so long during the riots and during the arson.
00:12:36.000Some of it is just because the police do not want to go into certain neighborhoods and they've not taken responsibility for what they're supposed to do.
00:12:44.000It almost sounds as though you were saying this is the reason we have it is because the courts and the prosecutors were not doing their job, that they were going too easy on the looters from the last time around.
00:13:31.000What we're saying is, as a result of what happened last night, there have to be consequences.
00:13:36.000We've got teams of people that are aggressively out there identifying the people responsible, looking at the plates, and we're going to bring them to justice.
00:13:46.000But when we do, and we do make those arrests, our expectation is that this is going to be treated with the level of seriousness that it should be, period.
00:13:54.000Don't try to bait us, mischaracterize, pit one against the other.
00:14:36.000We cannot continue to have circumstances where anybody and their brother can go across the border or in other parts of Illinois and bring illegal guns into the city of Chicago.
00:14:47.000That is something that the federal government is uniquely qualified to handle, and we need the president to step up and do that.
00:14:54.000So she said, we don't need more federal troops.
00:14:56.000The president is going to have his way with violence, and she blames gun violence on Indiana.
00:15:00.000Lori Lightfoot doesn't care about black people.
00:15:06.000And this is the same note she's been sounding since the beginning of BLM Incorporated.
00:15:10.000Let's play the clip from the 17th of June where she's trying to score points, where she claims Trump is trying to score points at his base and that the mayors are getting it done.
00:15:40.000Here's another clip from the absolute dangerous individual by the name of Lori Lightfoot calling Trump sending in federal peacekeeping law enforcement officers tyranny and dictatorship.
00:16:18.000But if you see a city you care about burn like Chicago is right now, you've just come, I've come to the conclusion the Democrats, they couldn't care less about the citizens that they are pledged to oversee.
00:17:44.000I actually don't like being overly partisan on this podcast.
00:17:47.000Many of you listen, and you know that I am very, very intense against Republicans a lot.
00:17:53.000In fact, I went after Senator Mike Braun.
00:17:56.000I've gone after many people on this program that are Republicans.
00:18:00.000But I'm just going to tell you as clearly as I possibly can without saying team red good and team blue bad, that when you just have one party that it happens to be the most corrupt political party in the history of our country rule a city for almost 90 years, this is what you get.
00:18:17.000You get widespread terror, thuggery, and criminality.
00:20:09.000It can be the sunniest, brightest day in Portland.
00:20:13.000It can be the brightest, sunniest day in San Francisco, and it's the darkest day of the year for me because of just how much anti-Christianity, anti-West, anti-Americanism, and just widespread darkness there is across those cities.
00:20:29.000And I don't mean any offense to anyone that might be in those cities right now, but my goodness, when I go to the city of Portland, I see things that I don't see anywhere else.
00:20:37.000And we have plenty of supporters, by the way, that listen from San Francisco and Portland, and we love you guys.
00:20:42.000I'm just saying that there is, there is, it's a very dark place.
00:20:45.000And I'm sure I hope you be a light in those dark places.
00:20:49.000Now, look, another feckless mayor from Portland, Mayor Ted Wheeler, he apparently changed his tone on the so-called peaceful protesters terrorizing a city.
00:21:00.000She destroyed the mayor of Portland in Monday's press conference, play tape.
00:21:04.000And then finally, one thing I want to leave you guys with is that 18 days ago, Mayor Ted Wheeler tweeted, What I saw last night in Portland was powerful in many ways.
00:21:14.000I listened, heard, and stood with protesters, and I saw what it means when the federal government unleashes paramilitary forces against its own people.
00:21:22.000He, in fact, called our federal agents paramilitary forces.
00:21:26.000And around this same time, our federal officers were facing rioters, barricading officers inside the courthouse, trapping officers inside, launching of commercial-grade fireworks.
00:21:37.000A federal agent's hand was impaled by planted nails.
00:21:40.000Three officers were likely, were at least temporarily, I should say, blinded when a laser was put in their eyes.
00:21:47.000This has been an ongoing tactic by the rioters.
00:21:50.000That was 18 days ago when Mayor Wheeler stood with the rioters and against the, quote, paramilitary forces.
00:21:57.000But just four days ago, it appears Mayor Wheeler had a change of heart as local officers took over the situation in Portland.
00:22:04.000And he now, I guess, this is what he believes now: quote, when you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder.
00:22:20.000He could not be more right about that.
00:22:24.000It took him 73 days, I suppose, to come up with that realization.
00:22:28.000And what we're seeing in Portland with six nights in a row, riots being declared on Wednesday, you had some of these rioters shining lasers in officers' eyes, disable security cameras, broke windows, used boards to barricade the doors and start a fire with 20 sworn officers and civilian employees inside.
00:22:47.000This is unacceptable, and it is encouraging to see that the liberal mayor of Portland finally seems to realize that.
00:22:54.000Wheeler is yet another mayor who tried to play tough with President Trump, who is now admitting what should have been plainly obvious, that this is crime.
00:23:31.000It was great to see the Attorney General to discuss the crime wave that is infecting our cities like Chicago, like Portland, like New York City, and so many others.
00:23:39.000He called BLM Incorporated a, quote, revolutionary group that is interested in some form of socialism or communism.
00:23:57.000In this document, this research, they talk about the roots of Antifa in the Bider-Meinhof gang and Germany and other really violent radical organizations in the United States, similar to the Black Panthers, similar to the Weather Underground, except they're more network.
00:24:16.000They seem to have more ammunition of sorts to use against police officers and so forth.
00:24:23.000And apparently they get a lot of their funding online.
00:24:27.000I have to believe that our agencies and so forth are really trying to construct some kind of scenario about what we're dealing with and how to undo this.
00:24:40.000It's a form of sort of a new form of urban guerrilla warfare.
00:24:45.000You know, Mao used to speak, Mao Te Tong used to speak about the guerrilla being like fish swimming in the ocean, the way the guerrilla moves through the people.
00:24:56.000The guerrilla hides out among the people as a fish in the ocean.
00:25:01.000And what they do is they are essentially shielding themselves or shrouding themselves in First Amendment activity.
00:25:09.000They go into the demonstrations, which are exercising First Amendment activity, and they insinuate themselves in there to shield themselves.
00:25:20.000And what they do is they hijack these demonstrations and they provoke violence and they have various tiers of people from the sort of top provocateurs down through people who are their minions and sort of run the violent missions.
00:25:37.000But it's a difficult phenomenon to deal with.
00:25:41.000They're highly organized at these demonstrations.
00:25:45.000So he makes some very important points here, a distinction, actually, that is really being overlooked.
00:25:51.000That these rioters and domestic terrorists are co-opting what could have been a peaceful movement.
00:25:57.000Like we've always said before in this show, the phrase Black Lives Matter is a true statement, a factual statement.
00:26:07.000The problem with BLM Incorporated, and people are finally waking up to this, is that they're a Marxist insurgency organization operating under the guise of a humanitarian pro-America cause.
00:26:19.000And it goes all the way up to the top of our institutions that prop up these guerrilla warriors.
00:26:25.000Rudy Giuliani went on Fox News and called BLM Incorporated a domestic terror group.
00:26:34.000It's a very, very strange society they want to set up.
00:26:37.000And so far, they haven't said a single word, even when the terrible violence is taking place by Antifa or by Black Lives Matter, both of whom are domestic terrorist roots, without any doubt.
00:26:51.000So this is a new level for a politician, as Rudy Giuliani, to say this.
00:26:56.000But Mayor Giuliani is completely right.
00:26:58.000The chaos has spread across these cities, and he knows how to stop it because he did it in the early 90s in New York City.
00:27:13.000Now, in the same interview, Attorney General Bill Barr makes a point that we've been making here since late May.
00:27:19.000I want to thank those of you that have been listening to us and have been subscribed and supporting our program at charliekirk.com/slash support because you have helped get our message out to millions and millions of people since this arson and terror has started in late May.
00:27:32.000And here's the point that we said: is that the Democrat Party has devolved into the party of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the absolute fool from France, who so many Democrats find inspiration from.
00:27:44.000If you don't know who Jean-Jacques Rousseau is, you can stay subscribed to our program.
00:29:17.000Unlimited talk, text, and two gigs of data is just $20 a month.
00:29:21.000The average person is sent, they're saving $400 a year.
00:29:25.000So why is it so much cheaper than AT ⁇ T, Verizon, and T-Mobile?
00:29:28.000Well, there's no retail stores, no billion-dollar-a-year ad campaigns, no value adds to your contract that you end up paying for.
00:29:36.000And you only pay for the data that you need.
00:29:38.000Their customer service is right here in the United States, and their CEO is a U.S. veteran who understands what it means to serve this country.
00:29:45.000Unlimited talk, unlimited text plus two gigs of data for just $20 a month.
00:29:50.000All you need to do is grab your mobile phone, dial pound250, say the keyword Charlie Kirk, and that's pound250 keyword Charlie Kirk.
00:29:56.000And when you do, you'll say 50% off your first month.
00:30:02.000And so now what's happening in these cities?
00:30:04.000As these mayors and city governments have failed to protect the basic safety of their citizens and of you, if you're listening to this, your city governments, if you're in a big city, they failed you.
00:30:17.000And that's a nice transition to exactly a point I had written down here in some research I did.
00:30:21.000And those of you that support us at charliekirk.com slash support, you allow us to have the best research team in the entire podcast space.
00:30:28.000In July of 2020, we saw nearly 1.8 million new gun sales, 1.795 to be specific.
00:30:35.000A new record and an increase of over 133% over July 2019.
00:30:40.000July is the fifth consecutive month to set a new gun sales record.
00:30:44.000FBI background checks indicate in 2020 has now seen at least 10 million guns sold.
00:30:50.000Many of these sales are to first-time buyers, including minorities.
00:30:53.000Maybe this will be a new winning issue for conservatives with minorities, gun rights, and it should be.
00:30:59.00081% of black Americans want police to maintain or increase a local presence.
00:31:06.000We talked about this in our previous AMA.
00:31:08.000I encourage you guys to download that episode as well or Ask Me Anything.
00:31:11.000We talk about how black Americans do not want police out of their neighborhoods, but it's the white liberals who think that black Americans need less police.
00:31:19.000And I went through some of the news coverage.
00:31:21.000And instead of talking about the looting and the rioting and the vandalism, how are people talking about this?
00:33:23.000And we will now have a collection of 15 to 20 continually Democrat-run cities where a black person is more likely to join a gang than graduate high school, where a young black person is more likely to probably unfortunately be raised without a father than with a father.
00:33:38.000But the Democrats, all they want to do is blame Donald Trump.
00:33:42.000Lori Lightfoot does not want any sort of federal help at all whatsoever.
00:33:46.000Lori Lightfoot is much more interested in making sure that black individuals cannot go to church instead of making sure that the looting and the rioting and the arson and the terrorism discontinues.
00:34:00.000This from NBC Chicago, updated just a couple minutes ago, it says this.
00:34:06.000Republican leader urges Chicago to bring in National Guard.
00:34:11.000Lori Lightfoot continues by saying, we do not believe this is an incident that requires the National Guard.
00:34:17.000And J.B. Pritzker, who if he ever had to outrun somebody, he would lose.
00:34:22.000Just look, J.B. Pritzker is a total spoon-fed socialist loser.
00:34:29.000Let's just say he was born on third and he thought he hit a triple.
00:34:32.000J.B. Pritzker has not, he has not worked an honest day in his entire life.
00:34:36.000He comes from the Pritzkert Hyatt family fortune.
00:34:40.000He is a complete and total limousine liberal socialist and probably one of the worst individuals I could possibly think in all of government.
00:34:51.000So as we're doing this podcast, there are going to be people right now that are alive in Chicago that will be murdered because of the arson, the looting, and the terrorism.
00:35:07.000Well, we're going to cover that all throughout this week.
00:35:10.000But they're going to go to the suburbs.
00:35:12.000The criminals and the thugs will not stop.
00:35:14.000In fact, criminals and thugs love Joe Biden because he's going to allow criminals and thugs off easy, criminals and thugs without any sort of intense prosecution, and innocent people will die.
00:35:25.000We're going to cover this even more this week.
00:35:27.000It's time for us to start fighting for a decent and reasonable and civil society because this will not get better unless we demand law and order in a country that functions for the innocent, for the people that cannot defend themselves.
00:35:41.000And right now, we do not have that, especially in the once great city of Chicago, that I am so incredibly disgusted at what has happened at the city that used to be a place of opportunity and a place of entrepreneurship.
00:35:56.000And some of my greatest friends have come from there, and I have talked to them today, and they are gone, and they are done.
