00:01:24.000 The clamor of liberal hysteria.

00:01:27.000 The rancor.

00:01:28.000 The incessant shrieks that we hear from them in the public square is fading.

00:01:36.000 Where is la resistance?

00:01:39.000 Where is the resistance?

00:01:42.000 In 2017, they were in the streets.

00:01:45.000 They were screaming at the sky.

00:01:48.000 They were protesting in every state capitol.

00:01:52.000 They were raising hundreds of millions of dollars by this time.

00:01:56.000 The ACLU was so cash-rich, they had to find trannies to go higher. 1.00

00:02:01.000 They couldn't even decide where to spend the excess of the billions of dollars they had coming in.

00:02:10.000 Real resistance in 2017 seemed to be organic.

00:02:14.000 It was a top-down squeeze.

00:02:18.000 The richest people were opposing Trump.

00:02:20.000 The grassroots were opposing Trump.

00:02:23.000 By this time in 2017, we already had Michael Flynn entrapped.

00:02:26.000 We had KT McFarland issues.

00:02:28.000 We had National Security Advisor issues.

00:02:30.000 Russiagate was bubbling up.

00:02:32.000 Bob Mueller was heading down the pike.

00:02:35.000 We had a major derailment of the mandate of the first presidency.

00:02:41.000 X was still called Twitter, was owned by Jack Dorsey.

00:02:44.000 Elon was worried about making electric vehicles.

00:02:48.000 There was no Doge.

00:02:50.000 There was no J.D. Vance.

00:02:52.000 The first term was met by an insurmountable surge of opposition, well-funded, curtailed activism, and the Democrat Party decided to make an epistemological and ontological decision.

00:03:15.000 They decided to make their religious purpose and meaning to destroy Donald Trump.

00:03:22.000 It's a very dangerous and tricky life choice to make every fiber of your being about removing and thwarting a duly elected president of the United States.

00:03:36.000 Now, to be honest, it gave a lot of mentally ill people meaning in their life.

00:03:42.000 I've seen a lot of them on campuses.

00:03:44.000 A lot of these people have wanted to kill me.

00:03:46.000 Literally, they've been arrested for threatening to kill me.

00:03:50.000 They've been arrested for threatening to kill Donald Trump Jr. They almost killed President Trump.

00:03:56.000 They had existential despair, and they tried to fill their existential despair with, we hate the orange man.

00:04:04.000 And millions of people came out of the woodwork, some of whom should have been in mental asylums, and marched in the streets, paraded through campuses, smashed windows, burned Wendy's, and they said, we must...

00:04:19.000 Defeat him.

00:04:21.000 And you, of course, know how the story unfolds.

00:04:24.000 It's the greatest political story ever told that started as an insurgency, was derailed by the bad guys, went into exile, and mounted a reclamation.

00:04:34.000 And so now we're looking across the horizon and the terrain.

00:04:38.000 We say, where are they?

00:04:40.000 They're going to regather.

00:04:42.000 They're going to regroup.

00:04:44.000 But there's a very fascinating wrinkle that is occurring here.

00:04:49.000 Mental health experts see a massive increase in despair and burnout.

00:04:55.000 Axios, which is a mainstream media regime operation, has published an article claiming that mental health experts are seeing massive increase in patients who are Democrat voters complaining of despair and burnout in the wake of President Trump's winning the election and taking office for the second time.

00:05:16.000 The piece claims that worn-out whiners are whining so much about not being able to keep up with President Trump's shock and awe and rapid-fire policies.

00:05:28.000 The article notes, quote, Andrea Bonoir

00:05:58.000 at Georgetown University psychology professor says, quote, Bonoir writes, She pointed to federal workers who aren't sure if they'll be let go as others are concerned about their immigration status or worried about loved ones whose refugee flights were canceled.

00:06:25.000 Everybody, they made a decision to religiously focus on the removal of Donald Trump as their purpose.

00:06:34.000 As Pascal famously wrote, that every human being has a God-sized shape hole.

00:06:42.000 In their heart.

00:06:43.000 And every human being tries to fill that hole, and we believe only our Lord is able to fill that hole.

00:06:50.000 Democrats don't believe in God, and they believe if there was a God, it would be Him.

00:06:52.000 So they don't agree with any element of that.

00:06:56.000 So therefore, they must come up with some construct, some meaning, and think about how similar left-wing activism has been to religion these last couple of years.

00:07:07.000 They would have group ceremonies similar to a religious experience.

00:07:12.000 They would have approved music.

00:07:13.000 They would have banners and they would have shirts and they would have incantations.

00:07:20.000 The whole regime media was all focused on this one singular human being.

00:07:25.000 And contrast that, by the way, with when Donald Trump was removed from office in 2021, in February, March, and April of 2021, we did not go into existential despair.

00:07:35.000 We went to work.

00:07:36.000 And that is where you deserve credit because you're not mentally challenged.

00:07:40.000 And I know that might sound like it's a little bit of a slight, but let's just be perfectly honest.

00:07:46.000 The current composition of the American left includes, not only, but it includes, basically, they've redefined themselves as a mentally ill faction.

00:07:57.000 It's a serious structural issue.

00:08:00.000 Their organizations are all messed up by accommodating all the mental illnesses. 1.00

00:08:05.000 From woke military, to you're not pronouning me correctly, to the DEI stuff.

00:08:10.000 To, oh, you offended me?

00:08:11.000 The whole left-wing project is constituted around this elemental agreed-upon proposition that we all have something that we're dealing with.

00:08:22.000 We must pander to one another or pander to you.

00:08:26.000 And every left-wing organization is wrecked by this.

00:08:31.000 One of the reasons why they're saying, oh, we need our own Turning Point USA. That's what they're saying.

00:08:35.000 Mark Halperin said this on the program.

00:08:37.000 The left wants to try to create their own left-wing Turning Point USA. It's going to be really hard.

00:08:42.000 Because at Turning Point, we don't put up with any of this stuff.

00:08:44.000 Misgendering.

00:08:45.000 Garbage.

00:08:47.000 But if all of a sudden you're trying to start a left-wing Turning Point USA, well, you've got to have equal representation of, well, you've got to have a tranny. 0.99

00:08:55.000 You've got to have a black person. 1.00

00:08:56.000 You've got to have a Hispanic. 1.00

00:08:57.000 You've got to have some sort of equilibrium.

00:08:59.000 You can't have a white man running it, because that would be against our rules. 0.97

00:09:02.000 So they have a philosophy.

00:09:07.000 That keeps them in shackles.

00:09:09.000 But you're seeing the left retreat from activism, and now they're on the psychologist's couch.

00:09:18.000 Let's play Cut 74. For every American who doesn't want some weird Elon Musk suck-up searching through your personal private data, this is your fight.

00:09:33.000 Your fight, my fight, our fight, and we will win this fight!

00:09:40.000 Are you ready to say no to Elon Musk?

00:09:45.000 We will fight it out in Congress.

00:09:47.000 We will fight it out in the courts.

00:09:50.000 We will fight it out across this country.

00:09:53.000 And I promise you, we will win.

00:09:57.000 Look, Elizabeth Warren should go be a grandmother. 1.00

00:09:59.000 I'm not kidding.

00:10:00.000 She should not be doing this screaming into a microphone.

00:10:03.000 She looks terrible.

00:10:03.000 She's shaking.

00:10:05.000 There's something biological in her that says, honestly, go spend time with your grandkids.

00:10:09.000 Do you have grandkids?

00:10:09.000 I hope you do.

00:10:09.000 I don't know if you do or not.

00:10:11.000 This whole, like, I'm going to go be an activist, change the world, it makes you into a cruel, uglier person.

00:10:19.000 Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:20.000 In this new year, it's going to be exciting.

00:11:07.000 I think the world of these two men, they've helped me with so many different issues and problems.

00:11:12.000 High integrity, Christian, they share our worldview.

00:11:15.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com.

00:11:19.000 It was an unwavering battle cry for justice.

00:11:25.000 And now you just hear the sounds of exhaustion.

00:11:29.000 These disillusioned warriors of progress, they've traded their placards for therapists' appointments.

00:11:39.000 And they're striving to mend the fractured psyche of a movement that no longer feels at home.

00:11:47.000 I mean, this is just one of many, one after the other.

00:11:51.000 And the hysteria is a limiting...

00:11:55.000 Currency.

00:11:56.000 Limited currency.

00:11:57.000 There's only so much hysteria that one can engage in.

00:12:01.000 And their rank and file, I am fascinated to see the campus activity next week.

00:12:07.000 I saw it during the 2024 election.

00:12:09.000 It just missed a...

00:12:10.000 On our side, it was gangbusters.

00:12:12.000 We took over the entire campuses.

00:12:14.000 We had thousands and thousands of students in support of us.

00:12:16.000 But what I missed was, where's the opposition?

00:12:19.000 Where's the 1-2-3-F the bourgeoisie?

00:12:23.000 Where's the...

00:12:24.000 Five, six, seven, eight.

00:12:27.000 You're not going to make me engage in your hate or whatever silly jingle that they have.

00:12:33.000 Who was the one that they had against me that one time at University of Illinois?

00:12:37.000 I'm actually, I may or may not be going, I can't say that.

00:12:39.000 I might be going back to University of Illinois.

00:12:42.000 This is Joy Reid.

00:12:43.000 She's a very sad person.

00:12:46.000 It's this amazing irony that she's named Joy.

00:12:51.000 Full crisis in our democracy.

00:12:53.000 No one believes you.

00:12:54.000 Even your rank and file is like, stop it!

00:12:57.000 Give me the Xanax, please!

00:12:58.000 I can't handle it.

00:12:59.000 Where's the Valium?

00:13:00.000 They did full opposition against Trump, and we beat them.

00:13:05.000 They're so overly dramatic.

00:13:07.000 And, I mean, this sounds so cliche, and I don't like doing cliches, but it really is the boy who cried wolf.

00:13:14.000 I mean, it's like the perfect childhood story that kind of just is presenting in front of us.

00:13:19.000 It is.

00:13:19.000 It's perfect.

00:13:20.000 I can't think of a better example.

00:13:22.000 Playcut 73. But we begin tonight with a full-on crisis in our democracy, as federal workers are literally locked out of their offices while operatives working for a private citizen essentially take over our government.

00:13:37.000 Their tactics include turning off our federal websites, deleting government-funded research that you, the taxpayer, paid for to impose speech codes, bullying news organizations by demanding interview transcripts, implementing an FBI purge, locking federal workers out of their computers, and even turning them away at their offices while giving themselves, without congressional or any other authorization, full access.

00:14:05.000 Okay, I've got to focus on the earrings.

00:14:07.000 I've got to get them up on screen.

00:14:08.000 I'm sorry, before I go into the actual details.

00:14:11.000 What is that?

00:14:12.000 So it's either one of two things.

00:14:15.000 Is that a picture of Africa?

00:14:18.000 Is that an elephant?

00:14:19.000 Or are those ovaries? 0.99

00:14:22.000 I can't quite tell.

00:14:23.000 Can we get a zoom up on the Joy Reid earrings?

00:14:26.000 Those have their own zip code.

00:14:29.000 Can we get a little enhanced image there of the earrings?

00:14:34.000 I'm going for ovaries or elephant. 0.93

00:14:38.000 And if it's an elephant, it's a little ironic.

00:14:40.000 I think it is an elephant.

00:14:42.000 So she's wearing Republican eerie.

00:14:43.000 I think that's...

00:14:44.000 What do you guys think?

00:14:45.000 Freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:14:47.000 What the fresh heck is that?

00:14:50.000 Is it a dragon?

00:14:52.000 I don't think it's a dragon.

00:14:55.000 I don't think it's ovaries.

00:14:58.000 It's an elephant.

00:15:00.000 Blaketh, speak from on high that it's an elephant. 0.99

00:15:03.000 So what is she trying to tell us?

00:15:06.000 Is she going to become a Republican? 0.98

00:15:10.000 Anyway, so Joy, it looks like something Indiana Jones would fish out of the Temple of Doom.

00:15:17.000 I know.

00:15:19.000 You need bigger earrings next time, Joy.

00:15:22.000 I can't see them.

00:15:24.000 Could you imagine in the production room at MSNBC? I guarantee you there's some person in quality control at MSNBC. Looking at this, they say, oh my gosh, what are we doing?

00:15:36.000 And they want to tell her to get rid of the earrings, but they know that she'll be like, racist! 0.98

00:15:42.000 You're terrible!

00:15:44.000 So she has untouchable ability to wear the most horrendous earrings ever. 1.00

00:15:51.000 Because you want to be called a racist.

00:15:53.000 So Joy Reid going on this rant about our democracy.

00:15:57.000 I would love to speak to her or anybody.

00:15:58.000 And this is why I can't wait to get back on campus.

00:16:00.000 Anybody who wants to talk about this.

00:16:01.000 So let me get started.

00:16:01.000 So it's a threat to our democracy that the person that the people voted for is fulfilling what the people voted for?

00:16:08.000 New York Times, Trump's actions have created a constitutional crisis, scholars say.

00:16:13.000 Oh yeah, just like experts say that you shouldn't send your kids to school during COVID or wear a mask when you shower and take the nine different mRNA gene altering vaccines.

00:16:21.000 No one believes this stuff anymore.

00:16:22.000 All these old tricks are exhausted and they're just going to keep on running the same playbook.

00:16:27.000 Meanwhile, Doge is here.

00:16:29.000 Cuts are here.

00:16:30.000 And we're getting back to the founders and framers intent for this country.

00:17:00.000 steadily increased their gold reserves.

00:17:02.000 And in 2024, gold prices soared over 25%.

00:17:05.000 Gold is simple.

00:17:37.000 Joining us now is Dr. Mark Moyer, professor at America's greatest college, Hillsdale College, but also a USAID whistleblower.

00:17:49.000 Dr. Moyer, welcome to the program.

00:17:51.000 Tell us about what you saw and experienced at USAID.

00:17:54.000 It's great to be with you, Charlie.

00:17:56.000 Yes, I worked at USAID in the first Trump administration, and to understand what's going on now there, you really need to understand the first Trump administration because...

00:18:07.000 It was a cesspool of corruption and bureaucratic resistance.

00:18:13.000 Now, one of the problems we had was the first, basically the year of the Trump administration, basically 2017, there were very few political appointees.

00:18:22.000 And so you had the bureaucracy essentially running the organization and doing all sorts of bad things.

00:18:29.000 And this memory lingers for those of us who came in.

00:18:33.000 I didn't get there until 2018. There were very few of us.

00:18:37.000 Pete Morocco, who is now in a leading role, he didn't come until even after that.

00:18:43.000 And so you had lots of terrible things happening.

00:18:47.000 One was the administration was continuing to push things like DEI and transgenderism, and you also just had all sorts of avenues for corruption.

00:18:58.000 And I reported some of that corruption, and then I became a target of the bureaucracy, and ultimately they pushed me out.

00:19:04.000 So tell us more about what you learned and some of the more outrageous examples and incidences at USAID. So one of the things I saw and one of the things I learned quickly was that there is a strong anti-Christian sentiment within the organization.

00:19:21.000 And this has a lot to do with LGBTQ and abortion activism.

00:19:27.000 One of the interesting things about USAID is you do have a significant number of people who are children of missionaries.

00:19:34.000 And themselves, many of them are people of faith, but they have to live in the closet because they are so afraid of retribution.

00:19:42.000 And under the preceding Obama administration, they've gone to great lengths to try to purge any sort of support for faith-based organizations.

00:19:52.000 So when Trump...

00:19:54.000 I came in 2017. That was a priority.

00:19:56.000 Let's work on faith-based organizations.

00:19:58.000 Let's support religious groups.

00:20:01.000 And oftentimes in these countries, they have some of the best people and most dedicated people.

00:20:05.000 And so I went out in 2018 and did a trip to Africa.

00:20:11.000 Very few Trump appointees had been there at that point.

00:20:14.000 And what I found was that the missions there were refusing to work with faith-based groups because they were still operating on Obama-era guidance from a year and a half ago that said the establishment clause doesn't let us do that.

00:20:28.000 And that, of course, is complete nonsense.

00:20:31.000 And ultimately, we were able to make some progress on there.

00:20:34.000 Of course, when the Biden people came back in, they reversed that again because they are dominated by...

00:20:43.000 So you've told a story about a privilege walk, which is just wild to hear.

00:20:47.000 You had to play a role as a Scandinavian woman? 1.00

00:20:51.000 Yes, and that's another indication of how much the bureaucracy was still in control in 2018. When I got there, there should have been a session for new political appointees.

00:21:03.000 There wasn't any such thing.

00:21:04.000 There was nobody telling us, here's what the mission is, here's how you do it.

00:21:08.000 We were kind of left to fend for ourselves.

00:21:10.000 But we did have to go through the new employee orientation for career staff.

00:21:14.000 And one of those things was this so-called privilege walk, where you stand in a line, you have this role, and then they read out statements like, you know, people make bad stereotypes about me or I have trouble getting services.

00:21:28.000 And at the end, you know, you step forward or back based on where you are.

00:21:31.000 The white male is at the front so everyone can see that he's the one with the privilege.

00:21:36.000 And then...

00:21:37.000 Everyone else is various distances behind.

00:21:39.000 And this is just wrong on so many levels.

00:21:41.000 I mean, for one thing, we're talking about adults here who should understand that life isn't fair and some people have more advantages than others.

00:21:50.000 But it also is aimed at specifically pointing to white male privilege, which, you know, as...

00:21:57.000 People who've looked at this seriously know there's a lot of white males in this country who don't have very much privilege.

00:22:01.000 You have a lot of class privilege.

00:22:03.000 You also have white liberal privilege.

00:22:05.000 If you're a white liberal, you can get away with a lot more and do all sorts of things you couldn't as a white conservative.

00:22:13.000 But the other thing about this is it's basically intended to support left-wing politics because it's saying you are...

00:22:20.000 In your spot because of your circumstances, you don't really have control.

00:22:24.000 It's all because somebody else is creating a bad situation for you.

00:22:28.000 And so this is an abdication of personal responsibility and, of course, a reason to say, okay, well, you know what we need since you can't take care of yourself and you're in this situation?

00:22:38.000 We need the government to come in and do things.

00:22:41.000 I mean, that's just extraordinary.

00:22:43.000 Just everyone understands that...

00:22:44.000 If you watch a video of a privilege walk, it's incredibly disgusting and just repulsive, where they will differentiate you based on race and then tell you, well, because you're a white male, you have all these advantages.

00:22:57.000 I mean, you should be like, well, actually, let's do a walk.

00:22:59.000 Who here wants to walk forward that had two parents around, that had parents that didn't commit crimes?

00:23:05.000 I mean, if you want to talk about the actual reasons why people are able to advance, or how about those of you that wake up early, don't do drugs, you know, actually take your life seriously.

00:23:15.000 If you were to give advice to the Trump administration to fix USAID, what would you recommend?

00:23:21.000 Yeah, well, I think they're already doing a lot of great things in a lot of great directions.

00:23:27.000 You know, they moved in very quickly.

00:23:29.000 They purged a lot of the bad actors who were there when I was there and people who helped get me pushed out of the agency.

00:23:37.000 And that includes the head of the Office of Security, the ethics official.

00:23:42.000 It's unbelievable how the people there who are supposed to be in charge of enforcing rules are actually a big part of the problem.

00:23:48.000 I think the biggest challenge going forward is to sort out what could still be kept and what should be eliminated.

00:23:57.000 And I think everyone, including Secretary Rubio, I would say, you know, there are important things that we do with foreign aid, but there's a lot of terrible things.

00:24:08.000 And we've seen all these stories about transgender operas and DEI comic books and DEI consultants who get paid these huge sums.

00:24:16.000 That obviously gets swept away.

00:24:17.000 But the more difficult task is that the Biden people have injected DEI, LGBTQ, feminism, radical feminism into all their programs.

00:24:29.000 You know, even if something that seems very innocuous, you think, you know, a global health program seems okay.

00:24:35.000 And, you know, they're hiding the fact that, well, they count transgender surgery as global health.

00:24:41.000 So it's going to take a lot of time to dig through there and take that bad stuff out and purge it from the programs that are still worth keeping.

00:24:51.000 Why do you think that this did not make bigger news during the first Trump administration?

00:24:59.000 Somebody like an Elon Musk out there banging the drum.

00:25:03.000 I started working on this.

00:25:05.000 I published a book last year about what was going on at USAID, but it was hard to get people's attention because people said, well, we never heard of USAID. In fact, I had suggested to the publisher we could call Agency for International Corruption.

00:25:19.000 Again, they said, well, people just don't know this.

00:25:22.000 So it took Elon Musk raising the issue and also the approach they took.

00:25:27.000 At the beginning, they went in and said, okay, give us your information.

00:25:31.000 And the bureaucrats tried to block them and gave them an excuse to go in and seize all this information.

00:25:38.000 Because that was, in the first term, we couldn't get that.

00:25:41.000 The bureaucrats would stonewall, even senior appointees, they would not give information to Congress.

00:25:46.000 And so finally, thanks to Doge, we are now paying attention, and it's long overdue.

00:25:53.000 Well, Dr. Moyer, we love Hillsdale College.

00:25:55.000 We appreciate you blowing the whistle.

00:25:57.000 Thank you so much.

00:25:58.000 Thanks.

00:25:58.000 Great to talk to you, Charlie.

00:26:00.000 Thank you.

00:26:00.000 Talk to you soon.

00:26:01.000 This is infected throughout the entire federal bureaucracy.

00:26:03.000 I hope you understand this.

00:26:05.000 When we talk on this program on how terrible college campuses have become, this is an example of how this mind virus has infected every portion of our federal government.

00:26:16.000 Privilege walks used to be something that were done at the most radical university campuses. 0.74

00:26:22.000 That they'd be done in NYU or they'd be done at Stanford.

00:26:25.000 But to do that within USAID, it shows how the college campification of the country has been executed.

00:26:33.000 Turned the whole country into a major college campus.

00:26:36.000 And now we are trying to unravel that.

00:26:40.000 And at quite a record pace, by the way.

00:26:42.000 We're seeing it already start to fall apart because it is an empire built on a very brittle foundation.

00:26:50.000 It is a fragile, And holding the line is critically important.

00:26:56.000 Who could possibly be against the Department of Government Efficiency?

00:27:00.000 Well, we know who.

00:27:01.000 The entire Democrat Party.

00:27:02.000 And that's why we're going to play offense on this topic.

00:27:05.000 We want to make government more official.

00:27:06.000 And they'll say, oh, it's not that much money.

00:27:08.000 That is a terrible argument.

00:27:10.000 If it even saves $5 of you as taxpayers, it's a fight worth having.

00:27:14.000 So next argument.

00:27:15.000 Oh, it's not going to add up very much.

00:27:18.000 And what's the point?

00:27:19.000 That is a cynical...

00:27:21.000 Nihilistic view of budgeting.

00:27:22.000 We do not subscribe to it.

00:27:24.000 Every dollar taxpayer money should be cherished and should be valued.

00:27:27.000 If you find an outrageous line item for $5 million or $20 million.

00:27:33.000 And by the way, under that belief, how many of you go if you get a check at a restaurant or go through your Visa bill and start asking questions?

00:27:45.000 Are all of you guys just okay?

00:27:48.000 If they just say, oh, sorry, you had to go pay for the entree of the table next to you.

00:27:53.000 Oh, I guess that's fine.

00:27:54.000 It's only $20.

00:27:55.000 It's only $30.

00:27:56.000 We all check receipts.

00:27:57.000 Why don't our leaders do the same?

00:27:59.000 $5 million line item is the lifetime taxes of 10 people.

00:28:03.000 And this is exactly the type of BS argumentation of how you get this waste in the first place.

00:28:08.000 It is our money, not the government's money.

00:28:12.000 We shouldn't let people propagandize us that $10 or $50 or $100 million is irrelevant.

00:28:17.000 That is an attempt at hypnosis.

00:28:20.000 They're trying to hypnotize you.

00:28:22.000 We need a full cultural transformation, root and stem.

00:28:27.000 Hey, Charlie Kirk here.

00:29:33.000 Let's kind of get the energy going here.

00:29:35.000 Let's go to cut 64. Would you support white-only dormitories? 0.98

00:29:39.000 Everybody has a choice.

00:29:41.000 So I think white only and black only anything is evil and wrong. 0.98

00:29:45.000 That's why I hate critical theory and critical race theory, because when it's put in practice, you start to discriminate people based on race.

00:29:55.000 So we're now south of the Mason-Dixon line in North Carolina.

00:29:58.000 We did a lot of work to get rid of segregation in this country.

00:30:01.000 Why are you trying to bring it back?

00:30:02.000 What work?

00:30:03.000 The Civil Rights Act of 1964?

00:30:05.000 In this state?

00:30:06.000 Yeah, actually, in this state.

00:30:07.000 Are there black-only bathrooms out there I'm unaware of, or white-only bathrooms?

00:30:11.000 Nah.

00:30:12.000 Right.

00:30:12.000 A lot of work was done in this state.

00:30:18.000 F*** you, your face is small.

00:30:22.000 Well, thanks for being here.

00:30:23.000 They always go to insults when they lose the argument.

00:30:25.000 God bless you, my friend.

00:30:27.000 He's gonna go work for USAID. Actually, no, he won't, because they're not hiring.

00:30:31.000 But typically...

00:30:32.000 He'd be a great applicant.

00:30:33.000 With a stroke of a pen, President Donald Trump has made the entire American culture bend the knee.

00:30:41.000 It is full-scale cultural capitulation.

00:30:45.000 It is one after the other.

00:30:48.000 PBS Public Broadcasting has said, PBS caves the Trump, oust staffers.

00:30:57.000 We have closed our DEI office.

00:31:01.000 Goldman Sachs, otherwise known as Government Sachs, is abandoning a significant pledge it made to refuse initial public offering.

00:31:09.000 Business with companies that had all-white, all-male boards. 0.66

00:31:12.000 Gone.

00:31:14.000 Disney making efforts to change its DEI efforts.

00:31:16.000 Now look, here's the important thing.

00:31:18.000 They're going to try to have DEI under the surface. 0.51

00:31:20.000 Anywhere we see it, it's not going to happen.

00:31:22.000 No more racial quotas.

00:31:23.000 No more equity.

00:31:25.000 We're not going to do any of this.

00:31:26.000 I don't care about the color of skin.

00:31:27.000 I care about merit.

00:31:28.000 That's phase two.

00:31:29.000 Understand, phase two is it's going to go below the surface.

00:31:32.000 These little cockroaches are not going to go away. 0.99

00:31:34.000 They'll try to hide it below the surface.

00:31:38.000 We need to make an example out of one or two places where it's still happening.

00:31:41.000 From college admissions to grant funding to internships.

00:31:45.000 Do you remember State Street Capital Partners who famously said we're not going to hire white men for internships or jobs?

00:31:51.000 We need to sue them into oblivion.

00:31:54.000 They're going to act in a more clandestine manner.

00:31:58.000 Just like we have insubordinates in the federal government, we'll have that in the private sector.

00:32:03.000 We need to exercise and excommunicate the DEI demons that have infected our country the last couple years. 0.99

00:32:11.000 You know what's amazing?

00:32:12.000 How little pushback there is.

00:32:14.000 Yeah, I mean, there's the clamoring people in the corner.

00:32:16.000 It just goes to show how our theory of the case has been correct.

00:32:20.000 Our theory of the case was as follows.

00:32:22.000 We lived through an attempted...

00:32:25.000 Cultural Chinese-style revolution. 0.88

00:32:27.000 A Chinese-style culture revolution in 2020. And it goes to show it was built on a Potemkin village. 0.99

00:32:33.000 There was not mass support for this.

00:32:35.000 It was a color revolution.

00:32:36.000 Let's go through the list.

00:32:37.000 Disney responds, gets rid of DEI. Target has rolled back its DEI. John Deere has scaled back its DEI. Boeing has scaled back its DEI. Harley-Davidson, Lowe's, Walmart, McDonald's, Amazon, Meta.

00:32:52.000 It's almost a competition.

00:32:53.000 It's a race to who's actually still going to have this stuff.

00:32:56.000 You're going to stick out like a sore thumb.

00:32:58.000 By the way, that goes for every college, too.

00:33:00.000 All of these colleges have DEI departments.

00:33:02.000 You want to talk about a delicious little thing?

00:33:05.000 That's where some of the opposition is going to come.

00:33:08.000 In fact, it's going to be very interesting to see.

00:33:12.000 President Trump wrote the executive order for all the federal branch of government for people that receive federal funding, grants, tuition, or subsidized student loans.

00:33:19.000 You're trying to tell me that...

00:33:20.000 Wellesley, Williams College, Brown, Cornell, they're going to defy the order.

00:33:25.000 I guarantee it.

00:33:27.000 They're going to say, oh, no, no, we're not going to listen to it.

00:33:29.000 Or imagine these colleges that are forced to do it.

00:33:32.000 Oh, they're going to protest.

00:33:33.000 And these kids are going to lose so much public opinion.

00:33:36.000 If you think the Hamas protests were noteworthy, wait for the DEI department protests.

00:33:42.000 And they're going to look so unpopular.

00:33:45.000 And they're just going to have such a crass way about them.

00:33:49.000 This is an opportunity of a lifetime to crush these cockroaches.

00:33:54.000 The DEI infestation of our country. 0.97

00:33:58.000 And no, that is not a racial thing.

00:33:59.000 It is an ideological thing.

00:34:02.000 It's do you believe that people should be organized based on the color of their skin?

00:34:06.000 I say no.

00:34:07.000 The Ku Klux Klan says yes. 0.89

00:34:09.000 And Democrats say yes.

00:34:10.000 And DEI departments say yes.

00:34:12.000 I say no.

00:34:13.000 We're at our best when we're based on merit.

00:34:16.000 We're at our worst when we're based on race. 1.00

00:34:19.000 America's best moments have been merit-based.

00:34:22.000 Our ugliest moments have been race-based. 1.00

00:34:24.000 So getting rid of DEI is saying we don't want to go back to that.

00:34:27.000 And we have to play unapologetic offense on this.

00:34:30.000 Every DEI official should not be rehired.

00:34:32.000 Period.

00:34:33.000 If they were involved in a DEI department, they're done.

00:34:36.000 We don't want them.

00:34:38.000 They're not to be rehired, especially in the federal government, corporate America, etc.

00:34:40.000 Go find work elsewhere.

00:34:42.000 Go work for the California State Pension Fund.

00:34:45.000 Go work for Massachusetts.

00:34:48.000 Well, you're not going to have any high-level position.

00:34:50.000 We need to make it toxic to hire such DEI officials.

00:34:55.000 Toxic.

00:34:57.000 We're not going to say, oh, you know, you're going to have a soft landing.

00:34:59.000 No, we know a soft landing.

00:35:00.000 This is one of the ugliest things that manifested itself in every corner of American life, and we're not going to put up with it.

00:35:07.000 President Donald Trump, with one executive order, has impacted the federal government and any private contractor.

00:35:12.000 The American Renaissance is being live-streamed.

00:35:14.000 And where is the opposition?

00:35:16.000 They're too busy talking to their mental health counselors trying to get a refill of their Valiant script.

00:35:21.000 Meanwhile, we're saving the country and it's going to happen every day.

00:35:24.000 Full throttle, full offense.

00:35:26.000 The left is far weaker than we ever realized.

00:35:30.000 It's time for us to do more.

00:35:32.000 Keep the charge.

00:35:33.000 Keep the faith.

00:35:34.000 Keep the pressure on.

00:35:35.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:35:36.000 Email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:35:38.000 Thanks so much for listening and God bless.
