00:01:10.000 That's why we are here, Dave.
00:01:14.000 Welcome to the Charlie Kirk show.
00:01:15.000 Kirk, this is very exciting.
00:01:17.000 I am around people for the first time in about 10 months, real human beings and uh frankly, I I don't know what to do with myself.
00:01:23.000 You're the only one that refers to me by my last name.
00:01:25.000 I always feel like i'm in trouble, like it's like fifth grade football or something.
00:01:28.000 I pretend you're captain Kirk.
00:01:29.000 There you go yeah, so have you done a Rogan yet and left California?
00:01:33.000 I haven't.
00:01:34.000 Well, i've left, in that i'm here in the free state of Florida and you're well, you're not going to believe this.
00:01:38.000 So last night I went to a place where a stranger, a complete stranger.
00:01:44.000 I sat down at a table and a stranger this woman just approached the table with a little notepad.
00:01:49.000 She asked me what I wanted to eat and then I told her and then about 15 minutes later, she came back with that food and I ate it and paid for it and left.
00:01:58.000 You understand that you can't do that in California.
00:02:02.000 I went to a restaurant Charlie, are you following me here?
00:02:04.000 It was a restaurant that was a tough.
00:02:05.000 That was a tough.
00:02:06.000 Yeah no, it's crazy.
00:02:07.000 I live in a place that is under complete lockdown with a mayor perpetually, with a mayor that literally doesn't want me to walk my dog.
00:02:13.000 When I walk my dog in the morning, i'm an enemy of the state.
00:02:17.000 That's a problem.
00:02:18.000 Are you contemplating leaving legitimately?
00:02:20.000 Yeah, we're thinking about it.
00:02:21.000 We're thinking about it.
00:02:22.000 I mean, at some point, at some point, it's enough.
00:02:25.000 Yeah well look, you got the weather.
00:02:26.000 Socal has the weather.
00:02:27.000 It's 75 to 82 every day.
00:02:29.000 It's beautiful.
00:02:30.000 That's why you live there. 1.00
00:02:31.000 That's the purpose of living in Socal.
00:02:33.000 At some point, if everything else is, it's not like, the people are that great.
00:02:37.000 I mean, the people are pretty terrible.
00:02:38.000 Actually, all your friends are leaving.
00:02:40.000 Yeah, my friends have all left.
00:02:41.000 You know, the funny thing about about the Daily WIRE guys going is that I had Michael Knows and his wife over for dinner and we had dinner and I kept saying to him you know, I was like Michael, you know we should stay, because there's something to be said about staying and fight.
00:02:54.000 Let's see if we can do it.
00:02:55.000 And he's like, i'm gonna stay and fight with you Dave, me and you, we will stay and we will fight together.
00:03:00.000 The next morning, Ben announced that the Daily WIRE was leaving and Knelt was like all right, i'm out of here.
00:03:04.000 Like literally like that.
00:03:06.000 Yeah, and at some point the 14 income tax kind of wears Wears on you when you have the entire state locked down.
00:03:15.000 And it's even worse than that if you count all the price of living.
00:03:18.000 I mean, in a way, the money thing, look, you know my feelings on taxes were lined up there.
00:03:22.000 I'm not thrilled to pay taxes, but I'm willing to do it.
00:03:24.000 But you're a quality of life thing.
00:03:26.000 Right.
00:03:26.000 So if everything is closed down and you can't go anywhere and you got to put masks to go to the store and just every restaurant's destroyed and you walk down just the main boulevards and every restaurant is boarded up and there's just nothing there.
00:03:40.000 Well, then at some point you're like, well, at the human level, forget the money.
00:03:43.000 It's just like, what am I doing?
00:03:44.000 What am I doing?
00:03:45.000 So I'm kidding when I talked to you about going to a restaurant last night, but it's like just in the half a day that I've been in Florida, just to see people outside, and you forget what it's like to see someone smile.
00:03:57.000 Like we're literally losing where you just see people's eyes.
00:04:01.000 You can't read cues on their face.
00:04:02.000 It's almost, we just have these robotic experiences with people.
00:04:05.000 And then they lock you in your house and you're just doing this all day and you're on Twitter all day arguing with genderless unicorns.
00:04:11.000 And it's like, man, maybe there's more to life.
00:04:14.000 And yeah, this year has been, I mean, you and I sat down last year and we talked about everything that was going to happen.
00:04:20.000 We couldn't have, no one could have predicted this, right?
00:04:22.000 We did not predict this.
00:04:23.000 I didn't predict the zombie apocalypse.
00:04:26.000 And so many of the things that you've been warning about for years have now just been accelerated.
00:04:31.000 Yeah.
00:04:32.000 Where we're seeing the tech giants just be more emboldened than ever before.
00:04:36.000 A lot of people almost dehumanized what you just mentioned.
00:04:39.000 And before we get into all that, I do want to say, because I want to mention this, you deserve a lot of credit and you deserve to be complimented the way you came out in favor of President Trump.
00:04:47.000 I know you received, I'm sure, a lot of backlash for that.
00:04:49.000 No, it was very well received.
00:04:52.000 Yeah, well, thanks by me.
00:04:53.000 Well, by you and the president.
00:04:55.000 But it was heroic and it was courageous.
00:04:57.000 And it was noted.
00:04:59.000 I said to you about two years ago, we were doing a gig.
00:05:01.000 I don't even remember where we were.
00:05:03.000 Yeah, we were somewhere.
00:05:04.000 Yeah.
00:05:04.000 It was a long drive.
00:05:05.000 And we were taking a drive.
00:05:06.000 And I kept saying, this is about two years ago.
00:05:08.000 I said, you know, I'm not quite there on Trump yet.
00:05:10.000 But I was working.
00:05:10.000 I remember that.
00:05:11.000 But yeah, no, and you were working me, and Candace was back there too.
00:05:15.000 And you guys were both going at it.
00:05:18.000 And I kept saying, listen, I'm not there yet.
00:05:20.000 And I'm still, because my feeling was for years in this, there is a goodness to liberalism that I know is worth saving.
00:05:27.000 And I know you believe that even as a conservative, I don't think it can be saved anymore.
00:05:32.000 And, you know, you just sat down with James and he details this at a highly academic level.
00:05:38.000 But I think in essence, what really has happened in the world is that we have seen the complete and utter collapse of liberalism.
00:05:45.000 There are no liberals left because anyone that has any liberal thoughts, whatever that might be, so someone who maybe wants a little more public education than you want, or maybe someone is, as I would still describe myself, by the way, begrudgingly pro-choice, which I know is a huge no-no for the conservatives.
00:06:00.000 But by the way, Rudy Giuliani feels the same way.
00:06:02.000 So conservatives have shown themselves to be a wide political tent.
00:06:06.000 If you're a liberal in any sense, you're a conservative. 0.99
00:06:09.000 And you're also gay, just for our listeners. 1.00
00:06:11.000 Yeah, big damn whoop. 1.00
00:06:12.000 And I'm only gay after 8 p.m. 0.99
00:06:13.000 So it doesn't matter.
00:06:15.000 A couple of people got that.
00:06:16.000 All right.
00:06:18.000 And by the way, congratulations on your traditional upcoming marriage.
00:06:21.000 That's very exciting.
00:06:22.000 A man and a woman getting married. 1.00
00:06:23.000 Wild. 1.00
00:06:24.000 It's a rarity nowadays.
00:06:25.000 Yeah, no, that's great.
00:06:26.000 And we support you no matter you have an alternate lifestyle, whatever.
00:06:31.000 But the point is that defending liberalism is now a conservative position.
00:06:37.000 And that doesn't mean that conservatives have to get on board all the excesses of liberalism because what we're seeing with the woke left are just the excesses of liberalism.
00:06:45.000 Liberals have no defense and they have let the parasite in.
00:06:50.000 And basically what you're watching is you're watching an alien movie. 0.92
00:06:54.000 They've let the alien in and it's just, it has taken over the body and it's going to burst forth and eat everybody.
00:07:00.000 So the idea of the moderate Democrat or something like that, no, if you're a moderate Democrat, you're a conservative now.
00:07:05.000 You want to save America, you're a conservative now.
00:07:07.000 So I have no problem saying that I'm a conservative at this point.
00:07:10.000 That's phenomenal.
00:07:11.000 And I've been saying that about you for years.
00:07:13.000 I just never wanted to put the label on it.
00:07:16.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:07:16.000 But it's also kind of what do these terms actually even mean anymore.
00:07:20.000 And basically, if you love this country and you love what it stands for, you want to see it have better days, and you're not in the business of perpetually bashing on our history and you like the freedom of speech thing.
00:07:35.000 You're conservative.
00:07:36.000 That's basically the definition.
00:07:38.000 Well, look, I'm trying to conserve the fact that I think America is the greatest country in the history of the world that has given more freedoms to more people than any other country.
00:07:38.000 Right.
00:07:47.000 That's still to this day with as screwy as it is at the moment.
00:07:51.000 Nobody was leaving.
00:07:52.000 Literally, nobody is leaving and people still want to come here.
00:07:56.000 They can joke all they want about us. 0.97
00:07:57.000 Oh, you're a European.
00:07:59.000 The Europeans don't like you.
00:08:00.000 That's what they always say. 1.00
00:08:01.000 Who cares?
00:08:02.000 First off, I don't even think it's true, but it's also who cares?
00:08:04.000 We have something worth conserving here.
00:08:06.000 And if you want to conserve that tradition of freedom, if you want to preserve free markets, the ability to go to work and earn a living and understand the history of America, that's a complex history, but a really beautiful history.
00:08:19.000 If you want to do any of those things, you are now a conservative. 0.92
00:08:22.000 So in essence, I would say it's everyone versus the woesters. 1.00
00:08:25.000 But the woekers have basically captured the institutions. 1.00
00:08:28.000 They're very powerful. 1.00
00:08:29.000 They're powerful.
00:08:30.000 Which is the strangest part of this.
00:08:31.000 Well, because they're basically, it's a hostage situation in essence.
00:08:36.000 You know, like they're wielding this power, which is cancel culture.
00:08:39.000 They're wielding guilt over people.
00:08:41.000 They're wielding destruction over their lives.
00:08:44.000 We don't behave like that.
00:08:45.000 AOC is wrong on everything.
00:08:45.000 So what?
00:08:47.000 Okay. 0.80
00:08:48.000 She can still live in America as far as I'm concerned. 0.99
00:08:50.000 But these people, they really want to take over everything.
00:08:53.000 And we're watching the institutional collapse of everything.
00:08:58.000 Yeah.
00:09:01.000 Look, you guys have heard me talk about Good Ranchers before.
00:09:04.000 Good Ranchers began with the standard of bringing top quality, 100% American-born, raised and harvested meat to families across America.

00:10:06.000 So, Dave, I want to ask you a question because you live near these people.
00:10:10.000 I don't think you're friends with them anymore.
00:10:11.000 No, but you know what?
00:10:13.000 By the way, just, you know, I'm never more serious than when I'm joking.
00:10:17.000 This is why the country's going for a very difficult place because I call them like those people.
00:10:21.000 You know, it's like there's a distance.
00:10:22.000 There's such a distance to it.
00:10:24.000 And I mean the woke story.
00:10:25.000 Right, I'll tell you, they call you worse than those people.
00:10:27.000 I couldn't care, listen. 1.00
00:10:28.000 The woesters, though, I love that term.
00:10:30.000 You got to use that, James.
00:10:31.000 Do they realize that they've been infected?
00:10:34.000 You know what happens?
00:10:35.000 And this is what I was warning about.
00:10:37.000 You can literally find videos of me six years ago before anyone was really talking about this.
00:10:41.000 I kept saying, you know, guys, I'm not really on board the Trump thing, but I'm pretty sure he's not Hitler, right?
00:10:46.000 And I'm pretty sure his supporters aren't Nazis.
00:10:48.000 But the more that you do that, the more that you call Trump Hitler, you call his supporters Nazis, it's not what you're doing to them.
00:10:55.000 It's what you're doing to yourself because ultimately you're painting yourself into an intellectual corner.
00:11:00.000 You call everybody, everyone who disagrees with you is the worst thing in the world, right?
00:11:03.000 Well, now you may find out that maybe they're not.
00:11:06.000 Maybe Donald Trump a year ago, basically right now, was giving a State of the Union speech where he was talking about all-time low black unemployment, all-time low Latino unemployment, all these things.
00:11:15.000 The Congressional Black caucus sat there like this.
00:11:17.000 The Dems sat there like this.
00:11:19.000 There were a lot of good things happening. 0.94
00:11:21.000 But you can't suddenly be like, you know, that Hitler guy, he's pretty good. 0.99
00:11:27.000 That Hitler guy is not that bad. 0.97
00:11:27.000 I'm shocked. 0.97
00:11:30.000 So what they do is they can never acknowledge that they might have made a mistake.
00:11:35.000 And by the way, they also know, well, wait a minute, if I've used these horrible tactics on other people, I know what's going to happen when I walk.
00:11:42.000 So meaning that they'll use that same stuff on me.
00:11:44.000 And that's what keeps people so many, I would say, politically closeted, which in many ways is what my book was about, because people are afraid if you've tried to destroy all these people's careers, you've tried to decimate people's lives and just ruin everything.
00:11:58.000 Well, you know how that works.
00:12:00.000 And then you end up holding yourself hostage.
00:12:02.000 So I would say wokeism is sort of like if you picture 20 people in a circle and everyone's got a gun and everyone's just waiting to who's going to shoot first.
00:12:10.000 That really is what this thing is.
00:12:12.000 So I think a lot of them know it.
00:12:13.000 I mean, I would say the 15-year-olds, the kids that are getting infected with this, they don't really know, but it's our job to hopefully wake them up.
00:12:13.000 A lot of them don't.
00:12:20.000 Yeah.
00:12:20.000 And but what's incredible is that you said it perfectly.
00:12:23.000 The institutions are all infected.
00:12:25.000 Yeah.
00:12:26.000 Higher education, our government, civil service, bureaucracies, corporations, the media institutions.
00:12:31.000 But the ideas are actually generally very unpopular with the people.
00:12:36.000 And so there's an incongruency here.
00:12:37.000 It's not as if the presidential election, if you believe the results, which I've made my position perfectly clear that I believe there was very much, there was fraud all up and down.
00:12:49.000 But if you believe the results, in no way was this a referendum saying that they were in support of wokeness.
00:12:59.000 Biden tap-danced away from it.
00:13:02.000 Well, what's ironic is I heard a lot of liberals saying, okay, we're not down with that crazy lefty stuff.
00:13:06.000 We're not Bernie bros.
00:13:08.000 But Biden, 78-year-old dementia, been in politics for 47 years.
00:13:13.000 Biden will be the bulwark against this thing.
00:13:15.000 Except you see what's happening now.
00:13:17.000 Every single pick that he's had, it's all about diversity and equity, which are things that have nothing to do with nothing.
00:13:25.000 I want to know, Bootage Edge, do you know anything about transportation? 0.98
00:13:28.000 Nobody's gay, so it's great. 1.00
00:13:30.000 And that really is what he's doing. 1.00
00:13:33.000 That's what they're doing.
00:13:34.000 He couldn't fix potholes in South Bend as a mayor, and he's going to run the Department of Transportation. 0.94
00:13:38.000 I don't care if he's gay or if he's straight or any, if he's black or he's white or he's trans or he has a limp or a lazy eye. 0.93
00:13:38.000 I don't care. 0.93
00:13:43.000 None of that matters.
00:13:44.000 Can you do the job? 1.00
00:13:46.000 It would be great if we could package all that into one person because that would deal a lot a lot of limp lazy eye, gay, black, trans. 0.99
00:13:52.000 You know, you really just get that into one person. 0.99
00:13:54.000 Then they could just put them up there, hold them out there like Lion King.
00:13:57.000 Everybody would bow.
00:13:58.000 Yeah.
00:13:59.000 This is the oppression Olympics that you've been talking about for years.
00:14:02.000 But I'll tell you this, Charlie.
00:14:02.000 Yeah.
00:14:04.000 Because you were one of the people trying to drag me on the Trump thing.
00:14:08.000 If I have one regret, I would say in the last year, I didn't publicly say I was supporting Trump until I did the Kyle Kashuv podcast, the first episode of the Kyle Kashuv podcast.
00:14:18.000 July podcast.
00:14:18.000 He just launched it, but he interviewed me in July.
00:14:21.000 It was right before I went off the grid.
00:14:22.000 You know, I do that off the grid audio.
00:14:23.000 I want to ask you about that.
00:14:24.000 That's one of the coolest things.
00:14:26.000 And he asked me, and I said it for the first time, but then I went off the grid for a month.
00:14:29.000 So it wasn't until this fall, really, that I started saying it.
00:14:32.000 And it's come with a major cost.
00:14:33.000 It's come with the cost in terms of my family.
00:14:35.000 It's come with the cost in terms of my friends.
00:14:37.000 I have no doubt that it's closed business opportunities and I live in a crazy town where people give me the evil eye and all that stuff.
00:14:42.000 But if anything, I regret not doing it earlier because I do view Trump, for whatever reason, for whatever bizarre, biblical, sci-fi, strange reason, Trump was the last guy that was going to save us.
00:14:56.000 And unfortunately, if he's done, if this really is the end of it, and I'm not quite sure of that, and I still think he may have some tricks, and I'm probably a little closer to you on the bullish side of it.
00:15:05.000 See um, but if he's done, I think we there are going to be an awful lot of people that will go.
00:15:11.000 Man, I really dropped the ball because this guy was not perfect and he's orange and he speaks funny and his hair and blah blah, blah. 0.77
00:15:18.000 But this guy, he loved this country and he just wanted people to succeed and everything else, and we are going to usher in something in the name of of diversity and equity, something that is so profoundly Anti-american. 0.88
00:15:30.000 And uh hey, I tried, you tried and we'll see. 0.88
00:15:33.000 You have been warning against many of the problems we're living through right now and the one that I think you've been the most articulate uh, and probably you were the i'm trying to.
00:15:44.000 Really I was.
00:15:45.000 I was thinking who was talking about this when no one else was talking about it.
00:15:48.000 I think it was you and Mike Cernovich, which the TECH Issue.
00:15:51.000 Yeah, I mean back in 17 and 60 16, 17.
00:15:54.000 You were talking about this.
00:15:56.000 Well, because I, I was a creature of the internet right, like I was.
00:15:59.000 You know everyone and their brother has a podcast now, no offense, you know, Charlie Kirk Show is pretty fantastic, but you know there are more podcasts than people.
00:16:06.000 At this point like, I don't know who's even listening to all these podcasts, but I was one of the first people in on this thing and and doing long form and no sense.
00:16:13.000 Yeah no, everybody's got a podcast.
00:16:15.000 You know, all of these people have podcasts.
00:16:17.000 Everyone in this room has a podcast, like but but at least half the room does, actually.
00:16:21.000 But it started, it started to become obvious to me that something was deeply wrong with big tech.
00:16:26.000 You, you could tell like before.
00:16:28.000 Now it's just profoundly obvious.
00:16:29.000 Right, we label all of Trump's tweets lies, but Biden can lie about very fine people and it's not a lie, like we all know it.
00:16:35.000 Right, what did Twitter do two weeks before the election?
00:16:38.000 This is a little insider baseball, but I think it's the perfect example of this thing.
00:16:42.000 Two weeks before the election, Twitter changed the way you can retweet, remember?
00:16:45.000 I remember this?
00:16:46.000 Yeah, they just changed it back.
00:16:47.000 And they just changed it back, so think about it.
00:16:49.000 Two weeks before, they said, okay, now you're gonna have to press tweet twice.
00:16:52.000 Now, I know that sort of sounds like nothing, but it's not.
00:16:55.000 They did something to fundamentally change the speed that we can get information twice right, so you had to press retweet twice to retweet okay, so it sounds a little stupid to be talking about it, but but it's an important little thing.
00:17:07.000 Two weeks before the election, they said, the way we trade information that we've all done for years.
00:17:11.000 Now we're going to suddenly change it, and the obvious reason was, well, we know some bad stuff's coming down the pike for us and we want to make sure people can't share it as quickly.
00:17:19.000 Right, they can't spread it around as quickly. 0.91
00:17:21.000 Well then, they got the result that they wanted.
00:17:23.000 And what did Twitter do last week?
00:17:25.000 They reversed it.
00:17:26.000 So now we go back to the old way.
00:17:27.000 That's just one of a million ways that they can deboost and they can shadow, ban and the rest of it.
00:17:32.000 But you know frankly, I mean, we're all just sitting here like, like sitting ducks.
00:17:36.000 I mean, that's why I started Locals.com, because I think there's ways that you can fight big tech.
00:17:40.000 And if, if David could be Goliath, then maybe Dave can be Google.
00:17:43.000 We'll see um. 0.87
00:17:44.000 But I think the 2021 is going to be the year of the bannings.
00:17:48.000 That that's what I think will happen here, because Trump, at least, was warning them.
00:17:52.000 Maybe Trump dropped the ball and should have moved on 230 faster, or maybe Congress should have gotten involved faster.
00:17:57.000 I like Cruise, I like, I like Rand Paul, I like Holly, but nobody did anything.
00:18:01.000 The truth is, they gave speeches and nobody did anything.
00:18:03.000 And and I know you like those guys too, and if they were sitting here I would gladly say the same thing to their faces and I think they would agree I just think they would blame the legislature, which might be true, sure so probably is sure so we.
00:18:14.000 That's sort of a separate issue about just how politics works, but in Essence, no one did anything.
00:18:19.000 And come January 20th, if Biden is president, well, now you've got the institutional elite and the swamp has recalibrated to itself, you know, has sort of all come together again.
00:18:30.000 And now you've got big tech.
00:18:32.000 And it's like, why not?
00:18:33.000 Why leave Charlie Kirk on Twitter?
00:18:35.000 Why leave anyone against lockdowns on Twitter?
00:18:37.000 Why not?
00:18:38.000 They're public health people and they're Nazis because they support Trump.
00:18:41.000 So I think we have a world of hurt coming in the next year.
00:18:44.000 How's locals.com doing?
00:18:45.000 It's doing great.
00:18:46.000 We're absolutely blowing up.
00:18:47.000 Our month over month is fantastic.
00:18:49.000 We've built.
00:18:50.000 Talk about why you started it, what it is.
00:18:52.000 Yeah, we build digital homes for creators.
00:18:54.000 You own the content.
00:18:55.000 You set the rules.
00:18:56.000 It's your data.
00:18:58.000 It's everything that big tech is, but reverse.
00:19:01.000 We can't solve everybody's problems.
00:19:03.000 I can't solve all Alex Jones's problems tomorrow, right?
00:19:05.000 He has problems with payment processors and other things.
00:19:09.000 But in essence, we're giving you the tools to have a digital life.
00:19:13.000 And it's not a platform the way Twitter or YouTube is a platform.
00:19:16.000 If someone comes into my locals community, which is RubenReport.com, well, first off, it's subscription-based.
00:19:22.000 So you got to pay me.
00:19:23.000 Now, if you're there to troll me and cause havoc, well, I can boot you out, but that's not an infringement on anyone's free speech because you could still be in Charlie Kirk's locals.
00:19:32.000 You could still be anywhere else.
00:19:33.000 Just the same way that I respect anyone's ability to say what they want outside of my home, but I don't invite everybody into my home to say whatever they want.
00:19:40.000 And you've seen great growth.
00:19:41.000 Steal my stuff.
00:19:42.000 I think there's a lot of people seeking alternatives right now.
00:19:42.000 Yeah.
00:19:44.000 Yeah, the company's blowing up.
00:19:45.000 And, you know, it's a tough battle because I'll tell you this. 0.97
00:19:47.000 I mean, going to Silicon Valley and trying to raise funds for something in the free speech space, you want to meet a bunch of cowards. 0.96
00:19:53.000 Go to San Francisco. 0.93
00:19:54.000 I mean, these people, people that are worth billions of dollars. 0.99
00:19:57.000 No, there are other people too, for sure, but like you want to meet just like a bunch of cowards. 0.94
00:20:01.000 Oh, no, I've met some pretty horrible people in San Francisco. 0.91
00:20:06.000 Look, it's not often you get a gift for yourself, but I need to tell you about something that you got to buy.
00:20:12.000 It's called a hedge against all the craziness in the market.
00:20:16.000 It's a free 22-carat American gold eagle coin.
00:20:19.000 Not bad, right?
00:20:20.000 A free 22-carat American gold eagle coin in a special presentation box.
00:20:25.000 To qualify, you have to take out a precious metals IRA or 401k rollover with Noble Gold.
00:20:31.000 Makes a lot of sense right now to keep your savings and investments safe.
00:20:34.000 Who knows what the next administration will do or what's going to happen?
00:20:38.000 So look, we don't know what's coming next.
00:20:40.000 And you have to have a hedge.
00:20:42.000 They're creating money.
00:20:43.000 Austrian School of Economics is completely under attack.
00:20:46.000 So if you guys want to hedge against all the market volatility and we know what's coming, inflation is coming.
00:20:51.000 Call 877-646-5347 and get this special coin offer, but don't hang around.
00:20:57.000 That's 877-646-5347.
00:20:59.000 Tell them that Charlie Kirk sent you.
00:21:01.000 Again, that's NobleGold, 877-646-5347.
00:21:07.000 We got to tell the story about your backpack in San Francisco.
00:21:11.000 Yeah, we go out to dinner at a Morton steakhouse, nice steakhouse.
00:21:13.000 Me, you, and Ken.
00:21:15.000 The three of us go out to dinner.
00:21:17.000 I have a video of that.
00:21:18.000 Yeah, and we go out to the car after the car.
00:21:21.000 It's a freaking escalade, right?
00:21:22.000 The security. 0.93
00:21:24.000 Yeah.
00:21:24.000 Dan was there.
00:21:25.000 Yeah.
00:21:25.000 Yeah, okay, right.
00:21:26.000 The windows were shattered.
00:21:27.000 Windows shattered.
00:21:28.000 They stole my bag, had my computer in it, my comedy notebook. 1.00
00:21:31.000 So there's some homeless guy on crack telling my stupid jokes wandering around San Francisco. 0.99
00:21:36.000 That's the popular guy right when you exit on the 405 right there. 0.99
00:21:40.000 Yeah, but that's what's, but remember, the funny thing was that I tweeted after with glass everywhere and the car all busted up.
00:21:46.000 I tweeted out, you know, left my bag in the car in San Francisco and somebody jacked it and whatever. 0.97
00:21:52.000 And then I got literally hundreds of people like, what kind of schmuck? 0.99
00:21:55.000 Can I say schmuck on the Charlie Kirk show? 1.00
00:21:57.000 What kind of schmuck leaves their bag in a car in San Francisco? 1.00
00:22:01.000 Like the question is not, oh, your car got broke into. 1.00
00:22:03.000 That's a problem. 1.00
00:22:04.000 It's more like, what kind of idiot would leave a bag in a car? 1.00
00:22:07.000 Yeah, what are you stupid? 1.00
00:22:08.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:22:09.000 And so what was amazing, though, is no one called the police until we came out.
00:22:13.000 Yeah, nothing, nothing.
00:22:14.000 Just glasses.
00:22:15.000 64 degrees outside.
00:22:17.000 The Transamerica building looks beautiful.
00:22:19.000 Shattered windows in a Chevy suburban park next to Morton's.
00:22:22.000 Everything's great.
00:22:23.000 Yeah, nobody cares.
00:22:24.000 But that's, look, that's what progressive policies lead to.
00:22:24.000 Nobody cares.
00:22:28.000 I live in L.A., the amount of homeless encampments.
00:22:30.000 The homeless encampment by me, they're now putting extensions on their houses.
00:22:34.000 They've built these houses and now they're adding other houses to the homeless people.
00:22:37.000 They build structures.
00:22:39.000 They're not homeless anymore.
00:22:40.000 I don't know what counts as a house.
00:22:42.000 That would be a good debate.
00:22:43.000 What actually counts as us?
00:22:44.000 They go under the bridge.
00:22:45.000 Well, they build these structures and then they add to the structures and then they add more infrastructure.
00:22:51.000 Charlie, this is the world we're in, my friend.
00:22:54.000 What can I tell you?
00:22:55.000 And they were deemed essential in New York City, so they could consider it.
00:22:57.000 I'm pretty sure they don't pay property taxes.
00:23:00.000 That we got to fix.
00:23:01.000 Yeah, that we got to fix.
00:23:02.000 That's a tax you're okay with.
00:23:04.000 No, I'm being facetious.
00:23:05.000 I'm saying they could pay the property tax with your stolen backpack or something.
00:23:09.000 So you locals is doing well.
00:23:11.000 Local is doing well.
00:23:12.000 And so what are you doing personally to anticipate the year of the banning?
00:23:17.000 In your own terms.
00:23:18.000 Yeah.
00:23:18.000 Well, look, all of my stuff is on locals.
00:23:20.000 So are there ways that they could come after us that are really technologically complex?
00:23:24.000 Yeah, but it's not the stuff they're doing now.
00:23:26.000 But if they took me out today, which they could do to anybody, I mean, really understand that.
00:23:30.000 You know that.
00:23:31.000 They could take any of us out, take out our Twitter, take out our YouTube.
00:23:34.000 They control everything. 0.71
00:23:35.000 Literally, and if you think about it, when you think about what you just discussed with James, the sort of ideological rot around wokeism and how it has become a secular religion, if you thought you were fighting Hitler and Nazis, lockdown Nazi, you would do it. 0.53
00:23:49.000 I mean, that's the thing that the average person, I don't think, understands. 0.56
00:23:49.000 That's the thing. 0.56
00:23:52.000 The extremes that these guys will go to to silence their opponents, I don't think we have a good grasp on how extreme it is.
00:23:59.000 So is Joe Biden going to stop them from doing it?
00:24:04.000 There will be no one in the political establishment that will stop them from doing it.
00:24:08.000 And there will be nobody in the tech establishment.
00:24:10.000 So I think everybody that isn't, I mean, this is a sales pitch for locals at some level, but it's a sales pitch for everyone to, if you have some stuff that's online, you better figure out where to put it pretty quick because it's coming.
00:24:22.000 If you think your Dropbox is safe, if you think your iTunes account or any, if you think any of that stuff is safe and you've publicly posted about being anti-lockdown or pro-Trump or just anything, anything non-woke, just wait.
00:24:37.000 I have a pretty good track record on calling this stuff and just wait and they'll come for you.
00:24:41.000 And the payment processing is next.
00:24:43.000 Yeah.
00:24:44.000 Well, at some point, what we will get to is why should Republicans be allowed to bank?
00:24:49.000 That really is why will people who are spreading a disease, a virus, why will they be allowed to security taxes?
00:24:57.000 And should they be allowed to get on planes and should they be allowed to cross state borders and the rest of it?
00:25:00.000 I mean, this is not, I know this sounds like a dystopian future, but this is where we're headed in six months.
00:25:05.000 Well, because progressives promise utopia, but there's no such thing as utopia.
00:25:08.000 There's dystopia.
00:25:10.000 Just go to San Francisco.
00:25:11.000 Yeah, go to San Francisco.
00:25:12.000 And then who is the mayor of San Francisco?
00:25:14.000 Gavin Newsome, who's now the governor of California.
00:25:16.000 You can't make it up.
00:25:18.000 And the thing that people have to recognize and realize, and you get this, is eventually people will say, well, why are we living in the same country with these people?
00:25:28.000 Well, that's partly why I stayed in California, at least for now.
00:25:28.000 Yeah.
00:25:31.000 If truly, if someone like me can't live in California, if that's the place where we've really gotten to, where everywhere I go now, everybody says to me, Dave, what are you doing in California?
00:25:40.000 That was my opening line.
00:25:40.000 If that really.
00:25:41.000 Yeah, no, I know.
00:25:43.000 But if everyone, if that's really where we're at, that people are going to truly have to siphon off along ideological lines, well, then what is the United States of America?
00:25:54.000 The beauty of this thing, because the beauty of this thing is that you have different states and different states have different policies.
00:26:00.000 And this experiment is running.
00:26:01.000 You have unity to it.
00:26:02.000 That's the point.
00:26:03.000 Yes.
00:26:04.000 And if the unity thing is frayed now, where someone like me can't live in Cali, well, then what happens when Cali truly bottoms out, meaning is completely bankrupt, destroyed, crime, disease, homelessness, blah, blah, blah.
00:26:15.000 Are the people of Texas going to suddenly be like, yes, we would like to bail them out?
00:26:19.000 No, they're going to be at war with them.
00:26:21.000 So again, this is this.
00:26:22.000 And I don't even know if it'll be war.
00:26:23.000 It could just be a national divorce where it's like, see ya.
00:26:27.000 Yeah, but like one side won't be thrilled with that side that wants stuff.
00:26:31.000 There was a very funny meme that the left made to try to ridicule conservatives.
00:26:36.000 The left made a funny meme.
00:26:37.000 No, it was funny because they didn't mean it to be.
00:26:37.000 I find that hard.
00:26:39.000 Yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:26:41.000 Because the left can't mean.
00:26:42.000 But it was a picture of the West Coast and the East Coast, and it connected to Canada and it called the United States of Canada.
00:26:48.000 And in the middle part of the country, the Midwest, it just said Jesusland.
00:26:52.000 This is a couple weeks ago.
00:26:52.000 Oh, I saw this.
00:26:53.000 I saw this thing.
00:26:54.000 This sounds great.
00:26:55.000 Yeah, not too bad.
00:26:56.000 Not too bad.
00:26:57.000 And it was like, no, how terrible is this?
00:26:59.000 I'm like, no, this is where we're headed.
00:27:01.000 But what a sad thing.
00:27:01.000 Yeah.
00:27:02.000 But they were proposing it.
00:27:03.000 It's like, look at this wonderful idea.
00:27:05.000 Thinking that Jesusland in the middle of the country would be this backwards, whatever. 1.00
00:27:05.000 Right, right. 1.00
00:27:08.000 And actually, the answer would be no.
00:27:11.000 No, the place where freedom would be free, where religious diversity and ideological diversity would all flourish, would be that place.
00:27:19.000 I mean, that's the irony.
00:27:20.000 That's why they can't meme because they don't have a real understanding of what reality is.
00:27:24.000 And you got to start with something real, and then you can figure out what the funny part is.
00:27:28.000 That's exactly right.
00:27:29.000 So you're about to address our students.
00:27:31.000 Yes.
00:27:31.000 What are you going to say?
00:27:33.000 Well, I think I'm going to talk about this meal that I had last night.
00:27:35.000 I'm still just staggered.
00:27:37.000 And then she brought me a piece of cake at the end.
00:27:38.000 It was incredible.
00:27:39.000 I had, what did I have?
00:27:40.000 I had a grouper.
00:27:42.000 I had a little Florida grouper.
00:27:43.000 How was it?
00:27:44.000 It was nice.
00:27:44.000 It was pecan crusted, quite delicious over at Breakers over there.
00:27:48.000 Oh, that's a good place.
00:27:49.000 Yeah, they're all right.
00:27:50.000 They ain't cheap over there, but I'm willing to splurge a little bit.
00:27:53.000 Except for the single meal.
00:27:54.000 Turning point pays okay.
00:27:55.000 I thought, I'm going to have to do it.
00:27:56.000 For the single meal you eat the whole year.
00:27:58.000 Yeah, for the one meal.
00:27:59.000 Usually I just eat dog food in California.
00:27:59.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:28:02.000 So the students are thrilled to hear from you.
00:28:04.000 And you've done a lot of good work for our country in a variety of ways.
00:28:04.000 Yeah.
00:28:08.000 Let's close with this.
00:28:10.000 What do you see that's coming that you think everyone is missing?
00:28:15.000 Well, the banning thing that I just talked about and how messy it's going to get on social media, but I really do think that we are either in the first steps or perhaps the middle and we don't know it yet of some kind of revolution.
00:28:27.000 I really believe that.
00:28:28.000 And that's language that I would not have used a year ago.
00:28:30.000 I'm surprised to hear you say this.
00:28:32.000 No, but the thing is, we are.
00:28:34.000 We are.
00:28:34.000 But I completely agree.
00:28:36.000 I completely agree.
00:28:37.000 But it's not because we want it.
00:28:38.000 It's not because we want it.
00:28:39.000 There are forces at play right now that are trying to undo everything that is good about America.
00:28:45.000 The idea about these lockdowns, and even as we're talking right now, I saw everybody's going to get 600 bucks.
00:28:51.000 Well, congratulations.
00:28:52.000 Thank you for 600 bucks.
00:28:54.000 It's funny.
00:28:54.000 They never say, how about we just don't take money from you anymore?
00:28:56.000 They never do that, right?
00:28:58.000 The system is corroded. 0.99
00:29:00.000 And now there is basically a foreign entity in the system that is here to destroy it. 1.00
00:29:06.000 And our universities won't stand. 0.60
00:29:09.000 We know about media and our intellectual elite and the rest of it.
00:29:12.000 And we're going to have to figure this out.
00:29:14.000 I mean, this is, I don't like, you know, doing like Paul Revere, like the alarm thing, but it's like, we better figure this out fast.
00:29:22.000 Because if you would have told any of us in January, hey, you know, in December, right before Christmas, you guys are going to be completely locked in your houses.
00:29:29.000 Almost nobody's going to be at work.
00:29:31.000 Your mayor is going to tell you not to walk your dog. 1.00
00:29:34.000 And you're all going to take it like a bunch of pathetic pansies. 1.00
00:29:37.000 You'd be like, but what are you talking about? 1.00
00:29:38.000 But you all did America.
00:29:40.000 But we all did.
00:29:41.000 There's nobody.
00:29:41.000 We all did.
00:29:42.000 I mean, there's a sliver of people, mostly Trump supporters, who are fighting it.
00:29:47.000 But for the most part, we've all taken it.
00:29:49.000 And you know what?
00:29:50.000 In three months from now, they're going to say, okay, we just found out about super COVID.
00:29:54.000 And then after that, they'll say.
00:29:55.000 No, no, I know super COVID just started in Europe.
00:29:55.000 So they already have it.
00:29:57.000 I know.
00:29:58.000 Everything we said that they said was going to happen.
00:30:00.000 They'll keep, they're not going to suddenly be like, oh, you know, we solved this problem.
00:30:04.000 Hey, everybody, freedom again.
00:30:05.000 Enjoy, enjoy.
00:30:06.000 So, so we have a real freaking problem on our hands, but I have nothing better to do.
00:30:10.000 That's the thing.
00:30:11.000 I wanted to be in the NBA.
00:30:12.000 I have a torn ACL and I'm 44.
00:30:13.000 Like, I got nothing better to do, do you?
00:30:15.000 You wanted to be in the NBA?
00:30:16.000 I did.
00:30:17.000 I had a pretty sweet finger roll.
00:30:18.000 Is that right?
00:30:19.000 You don't play basketball anymore?
00:30:20.000 Not, I can shoot, but I can't really move.
00:30:22.000 Torn ACL.
00:30:23.000 I never knew about this event.
00:30:25.000 This is minorly more important than making the Phoenix sense.
00:30:30.000 Everything you said is exactly right.
00:30:32.000 This is the future of our civilization in more ways than one in the next couple of years.
00:30:36.000 And the issue, I mean, this event is in many ways like a peaceful protest against these lockdowns.
00:30:44.000 And we're one of the only ones to do an event all year.
00:30:47.000 This is probably, is this probably the biggest event in America right now in terms of people being outside world?
00:30:52.000 It wouldn't surprise me.
00:30:53.000 Like a Chinese rave concert.
00:30:54.000 Oh, yeah.
00:30:55.000 I saw Wuhan.
00:30:56.000 They're partying in Wuhan.
00:30:57.000 Yeah.
00:30:57.000 Yeah.
00:30:57.000 It might be the biggest.
00:30:58.000 So I think we got a roll, and you got to go speak.
00:31:01.000 I got to go figure out what to talk about.
00:31:03.000 Thousands of screaming students, Dave.
00:31:05.000 Real people.
00:31:06.000 Actual human beings.
00:31:08.000 This is very exciting.
