00:01:14.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:22.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:46.000We've been talking about this theme for a couple of weeks: that in order for the great reset to occur, for a globalist vision of humanity to set in, the parental-child bond must weaken.
00:01:59.000That the bond that children have with their parents is all that ties a society together.
00:02:04.000The Bible has told us this time and time again.
00:02:06.000The Bible has in the Ten Commandments the only commandment that comes with a promise and involves your nation.
00:02:12.000Honor your mother and father, so you might live long in the land of which you are in.
00:02:16.000A parental-child bond actually keeps us free, free from government intervention, involvement, and authoritarianism.
00:02:24.000There is no example of communism coming into place where strong families persisted.
00:02:31.000The phrase Mother Russia, for example, came forward because they raised young children to believe their true mother was the Russian government.
00:02:39.000In Mao Sedong's China, they had the Mao's Red Guard actually incentivizing children to turn their parents in if they were not properly loyal to Mao's government.
00:02:52.000In Cuba, children were indoctrinated to believe that their maternal parents were not actually as important as the government body.
00:03:00.000I could go example after example in Mugabe's Rhodesia, which became Zimbabwe.
00:03:06.000That in order for these totalitarian experiments to be successful, the family is in the way.
00:03:13.000This is one of the reasons why we have seen a resurgence and a revival and an unexpected strengthening of the parents' party.
00:03:22.000For years, we talked about family values, and people would kind of roll their eyes.
00:03:25.000They said, oh, let's just talk about tax cuts.
00:03:28.000The center-right movement in America cares more about social issues right now than even fiscal issues.
00:03:34.000Not to say that fiscal issues aren't important, but the conversation, the chatter amongst people that are new to politics or the base of the political conservative right, cares more about right now, trans issues, cares about education.
00:03:47.000Now, I think it's tied with the border and inflation at times, but what really animates the base is things that are kind of defining the entire civilization as we know it.
00:03:58.000Now, we've warned for a while that the perspective of the regime and the administration and the Democrat Party and the Democrat machine is that they do not want parents to be in charge of their kids' education.
00:04:12.000Terry McAuliffe said this when he was running for governor of Virginia, which resulted in him getting obliterated and making a total fool of himself when he probably gave like a drunken, sloppy concession speech to now Governor Young in Virginia.
00:04:26.000The thermonuclear weapon against the left that they never expected is them actually admitting out loud that parents aren't in control of their kids.
00:04:35.000Now, this is something we know has existed, but they've usually disguised it.
00:04:46.000Now they are defending this idea that teachers are sovereign.
00:04:50.000That parents, you take a back seat, that as soon as you drop your child off at school, the moment that you put them into a public school, you are not in charge.
00:05:01.000And it does ask the question, who is sovereign?
00:05:08.000Well, in a Western culture, in a biblical culture, in a culture that respects the tradition of the family, the parents call the shots, not the state.
00:05:20.000The state, the government, serves at the, they serve because the parents and the adults have given them the power.
00:05:32.000But as long as families remain self-sufficient, patriotic, and conservative in nature, then a radical revolution in the country tends to kind of continue to misfire.
00:05:47.000Well, Joe Biden is now saying this out loud.
00:05:51.000Joe Biden is telling parents, look, they're not your kids.
00:05:57.000When they go to a classroom, they're the teacher's kids.
00:06:26.000Karl Marx famously wrote, quote, the education of all children from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care shall be in state institutions at the state expense.
00:06:38.000It is impossible to execute all these different sort of political factors, all these sort of political goals, I should say, without the breaking of that bond.
00:06:53.000It is the position of the Democrat Party.
00:06:57.000If you are a parent out there, I hope you know that if you vote for a Democrat and you have a Democrat in office, the President of the United States, who is a Democrat, who said this a couple times, by the way, it's not a gaffe, he repeated this, and he says, look, I say this all the time, with emphasis added, that they are not your kids.
00:07:48.000They are tasked, we believe, in a spiritual sense, first and a material sense, second, to be the guardians of those children's innocence, to raise them up in the ways of which you want them to go, to try to teach them what is good, what is beautiful, what is true, what is virtuous.
00:08:01.000That is the parents' responsibility, not the state's responsibility.
00:08:05.000A free country is a country where parents are engaged and involved and alert, where parents at times have to channel their inner primal tribal instinct and be willing to put themselves and their own reputation above anything else to say, you are not messing with my kid.
00:08:27.000You see, they're actually realizing the country's far more conservative than they thought.
00:08:32.000They thought because they sent ballots in every direction and suburban moms didn't like Trump's tone and personality that somehow they were super popular.
00:08:42.000In fact, the Democrat Party is less popular than any time in the last 20 or 30 years.
00:08:47.000The Democrat positions are even less popular than that.
00:08:51.000And if there is a parent out there, every statistic shows that they're actually trusting Republicans increasingly more with education decisions than Democrats.
00:09:00.000And Democrats used to always have the advantage on those issues.
00:09:04.000Republicans used to be always good on national security and the economy.
00:09:08.000Democrats are good on kind of social issues and good on education.
00:09:13.000Now, Republicans are favorable with social issues, the economy, they're favorable on education issues, and they're favorable on national security issues.
00:09:22.000And so you must understand the broader agenda here.
00:09:25.000And for every parent listening, if you have your kid in school right now, I pray you really know what's going on.
00:09:30.000If you're a grandparent and you trust the school that your kid goes to, I'm glad, or your grandchildren goes out, I'm glad you trust it.
00:09:38.000I don't trust many schools because I know that there is a deliberate attempt from the National Association of Independent Schools to go into private schools first and foremost, because even if you think it's a good private school, you're probably mistaken.
00:09:50.000Maybe it's a wonderful private school.
00:09:52.000But parents are emailing us in record numbers, freedom at charliekirk.com, and they are surprised and they're blown away.
00:09:58.000They said, I never knew it was that bad.
00:10:13.000My principal just approved our district's first transition closet.
00:10:16.000We'll be working with the organization of the Transition Closet to provide clothes for transgender, non-binary, and gender-exploring youth who maybe don't have the access or the safety to get those clothes in their personal lives.
00:10:28.000They'll be able to come to school and change into clothes that make them feel more at home and more like themselves.
00:10:54.000So Elon Musk buys Twitter and changes are underway there.
00:10:58.000And without missing a beat, the federal government of the United States has now launched a new ministry of truth.
00:11:04.000Now, if you are a reader and you are familiar with Orwell's 1984, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about when I say Ministry of Truth.
00:11:14.000The Ministry of Truth was one of several ministries in the fictitious but albeit rather clairvoyant novel written by George Orwell, one of the five dystopian authors in late 1940s, 1950s that wrote on this topic: Arthur Kessler, C.S. Lewis, Winston Churchill, Aldous Huxley, and George Orwell.
00:11:39.000All five of them were contemporaries in one way or the other and kind of played around with this idea of dystopian authoritarianism.
00:11:46.000So in the book, 1984, there were several ministries.
00:11:51.000The Ministry of Peace, which of course was concerned with war.
00:11:55.000The Ministry of Love, which concerned itself with torture, the Ministry of Plenty, which concerned itself with starvation, and the Ministry of Truth with, of course, lies.
00:12:06.000As Orwell beautifully writes, quote, these contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy.
00:12:12.000They are deliberate exercises in double think.
00:12:17.000So when we use that term, Orwellian, we mean it.
00:12:33.000I mean, Orwell's ability to capture the behavioral pattern of a tyrant was extraordinary.
00:12:41.000Not just what the society would look like, but actually how the tyrant themselves would operate.
00:12:47.000Of course, that is best depicted in the novel with Mr. O'Brien, who worked for the Ministry of Truth.
00:12:54.000Ministry of Truth had three slogans, of course.
00:12:56.000War is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength.
00:13:02.000Now, they put forward this idea of what a thought crime was.
00:13:05.000A thought crime is when you say something that was politically unorthodox, an unspoken belief, or something that would contradict the tenets of INSOC or the government at the time or the dominant ideology of Oceania, which is the fictitious kind of former place where London was, which is where Orwell wrote about this.
00:13:29.000So yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security has announced a new disinformation governance board, the Department of Homeland Security.
00:13:38.000Now, no major announcements, of course, with the invasion happening on our southern border.
00:13:42.000No major announcements from the Department of Homeland Security as to why so many food processing plants have planes being crashed into them, have been lit on fire, or we have a food shortage.
00:13:56.000I don't necessarily think so, but I want an answer to that.
00:14:00.000No answer from the Department of Homeland Security as to whether or not we might have loose immigration policy that could let terrorists into our country.
00:14:08.000No, instead, the policy of the Department of Homeland Security is now we are going to put forward a disinformation governance board.
00:14:18.000So the head of this disinformation governance board is this charlatan by the name of Nina Jankowitz.
00:14:26.000She has now said, I am in charge of the board, which is to help maintain the department's commitment to free speech, privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties.
00:15:08.000So she was the one that was spreading this idea that 50 intel people had said that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, even though the idea that 50 Intel people said it was Russian disinformation was disinformation itself.
00:15:25.000Now, all of this is just in time for the midterms.
00:15:30.000All of this is just in time for the November election.
00:15:35.000This is happening at a very quick pace, where we now have a new ministry of truth that will use the power of government to say, hey, I don't like Charlie Kirk's tweets.
00:15:48.000Is he a Russian agent to use the federal government, the power of the federal government to try to restrict speech to try and prevent political messages they don't like from being spread?
00:16:00.000What is considered disinformation one day ends up being consensus the next day?
00:16:06.000This is a political agenda by the Biden administration and the Democrat Party to try to intimidate you from spreading the truth online and in other places.
00:16:19.000Almost every day we hear about another major corporation that has gone woke.
00:16:22.000Disney hates you and everyone should cancel Disney.
00:16:27.000Disney made tons of money off of being family friendly and family safe.
00:16:45.000I was seeing how much I was spending on my cell phone bill, how much Turning Point USA was spending on our cell phone bill.
00:16:50.000I said, I'm so sick and tired of giving these anti-American cell phone companies my hard-earned money and our amazing donor money at Turning Point USA.
00:16:58.000So I told my team, I said, go find the cell phone company that shares our values.
00:17:34.000So Patriot Mobile, they have plans to fit every budget.
00:17:37.000And their U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional customer service.
00:17:42.000Most importantly, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious liberty, constitutional rights, and the sanctity of life.
00:18:06.000Well, a good way to start is, you know, make your cell phone bill, whatever.
00:18:10.000If you see it on your cell phone statement, you get your cell phone statement.
00:18:13.000You might as well just say, oh, that money's going to the DNC or that money's going to Christian conservative organizations or company like Patriot Mobile.
00:18:20.000So you get a free activation with the offer code Charlie.
00:18:23.000They also have special discounts for veterans and first responder heroes.
00:18:27.000It's patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot.
00:18:31.000Join me on the Charlie Kirk show in our change to Patriot Mobile and forgetting all these woke, awful, terrible cell phone companies.
00:18:38.000Portions of this program, the Charlie Kirk Show, are brought to you in part by Patriot Mobile.
00:18:50.000We have been talking and complaining about woke banks for quite some time, about how difficult it is to find anyone that shares our values in the financial world.
00:19:01.000So I was made aware of this company that was coming on to the scene recently, and I was just so encouraged and excited about what they were trying to do, especially in the credit card space, because some of these credit card companies are just out of control.
00:19:16.000And it is a new conservative credit card company.
00:19:19.000We wrote about this at CharlieKirk.com.
00:19:21.000We're partnering with them on a lot of different things moving forward called COIN, C-O-I-G-N.
00:19:26.000And with us right now is the founder of this effort, Rob Collins.
00:19:29.000Rob, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:19:52.000And there's a huge market out there to have kind of a non-woke credit card.
00:19:56.000Yeah, I think it stems from the fact that, you know, 10 times a week, 40 times a month, 480 times a year per credit card, and the average American has four credit cards.
00:20:09.000Your commerce is being used as a weapon against you, and it's not reflecting your values.
00:20:15.000And I just think there's an opportunity.
00:20:17.000We're the largest, conservatives are the largest ideological block in America, yet we don't work together.
00:20:23.000We don't have a place where we can have a voice.
00:20:25.000And this is just an opportunity for us all to come together, move our commerce through one vehicle and not only increase our voice, but really, really bundle up millions of dollars, trillions, hopefully trillions, billions of dollars of commerce and invest in conservative charities.
00:20:46.000You know, we have a real challenge that people who give aren't listened to by corporate America.
00:20:54.000People who use their product aren't listened to by corporate America.
00:20:57.000And the idea that we can, you know, have a credit card that is catered for conservatives, but also invest in conservative charity is a huge opportunity and a huge advantage, I believe, in the future to reassert our voice into corporate America.
00:21:15.000So let's talk more about just kind of that issue.
00:21:17.000Is this the misrepresentation from corporate America?
00:21:19.000The website says together we're creating conservative commerce.
00:21:22.000And with our combined strength, we'll allow great American conservative charities to grow great American conservative charities.
00:21:28.000And the credit card is competitive with all the kind of cash back guarantees of other credit cards.
00:21:34.000And so this is really an ideological argument in a good way where people need to ask themselves the question, do you want it every time you swipe to go to some sort of whatever left-wing charity, you know, you could pick the assortment?
00:21:45.000Or do you actually want it to go somewhere where it might be actually supporting veterans or freedom of speech or religious liberty?
00:21:52.000This is something that conservatives need to think deeply about because they might unintentionally be funding left-wing causes every time they make a purchase.
00:22:49.000But every time they swipe, a little piece of that merchant fee, we're going to put into the charity bucket.
00:22:53.000And then, you know, we're going to open it up and say to our cardholders, hey, come vote, tell us where your priorities are.
00:23:00.000And then we'll be able to fund charities.
00:23:02.000And if you think about the active, the size of the conservative movement, if we can get folks organized and together, we could, you know, the hundreds of millions of dollars that we could put into great conservative charities would be tremendous.
00:23:20.000That's the thing is that it's money that you're already spending, right?
00:23:24.000Taco Bell or, you know, at Home Depot or whatever, is that you're already the velocity of money might as well go towards causes you align with.
00:23:34.000And so, yeah, talk, when is the card coming out?
00:23:43.000We wanted to kind of build an audience, build a community.
00:23:46.000And, you know, we're weeks away from rolling out the cards.
00:23:50.000We, you know, the modern credit card rollouts generally have a waiting list period where you kind of build your audience, get your first set of early adopters, people who are going to join.
00:24:03.000And then you start to feed out the cards as they come.
00:24:07.000There's going to be conservatives are going to have three options to choose from on the cards.
00:24:12.000And, you know, they're going to have be able to tailor it to kind of what they want to see and how they, how what they want it to look like.
00:24:19.000And, you know, it's going to be app-driven.
00:24:21.000I mean, like I said, everything you expect in a credit card, we're going to provide, except, you know, a coin, we're just going to be supporting conservative causes.
00:24:30.000And it seems as if there is this institutional kind of issue where we have to kind of start our own stuff, right?
00:24:37.000Where it's not, it's no longer good enough just to kind of fix some of these other companies.
00:24:42.000What's the response been in the last couple of days?
00:24:45.000I know a lot of people that have signed up on the waiting list, but I'm sure the media has some complaints.
00:24:52.000No, the response has been generally great.
00:24:55.000People writing in, people calling in saying, hey, I have an idea for a charity or, you know, one person signed up and said, you know, I had this cool Darth Vader card, but it's, you know, I want to switch to yours because even though it looks cool, it doesn't support my values and it doesn't support what I believe in.
00:25:13.000And so people have been super generous.
00:25:22.000The center right media has really understood this and they really get what we're trying to do here.
00:25:27.000And the other mainstream media, they're always looking for a divisiveness and fighting.
00:25:32.000And I think what we're just trying to say is, we're greater together and we can build something that's really neat that serves conservatives and serves their wishes.
00:25:41.000And if you don't like it, that's fine.
00:25:49.000But there's a huge audience out there of people who just really want to express their values and their lifestyle and their hopes for the future of this country.
00:25:59.000And I think there's been so much entrepreneurialship in the space, which is awesome.
00:26:04.000There's options now with technology and food and clothing.
00:26:08.000This is just a way to kind of hardwire it into the central piece of your commerce, which is sometimes it's hard when the kids are at the park and they're screaming for this kind of ice cream and you know they don't share your values, but it's right there.
00:26:20.000It just allows folks to, you know, in the back of their head, say, you know what, I'm sticking up for what I believe in.
00:26:26.000And even if I have to buy this ice cream now or these jeans or this, you know, this equipment or something.
00:26:31.000And they just know a piece of that commerce is going to causes that they care about.
00:26:35.000Yeah, it can kind of neutralize the Starbucks run, right?
00:26:37.000So you got to go to Starbucks, but if you use the coin card, it kind of like is a net net neutral.
00:26:43.000Now, I wouldn't recommend going to Disney World, but at least some of the volume will go of the volume of purchasing will go back to things you care about.
00:27:07.000You nailed it right on the head, which is, you know, disruption is hard.
00:27:11.000And the parallel economy is in the beginning stages.
00:27:16.000And, you know, you can't seed 50 years of corporate leadership to the left and then knock on the door and say, we'd like it back.
00:27:22.000You know, we're going to have to earn it back and we're going to have to earn it back one consumer at a time and show we have a high quality product that's honest, it's authentic, and it's doing everything we said, which is we're going to find high quality charities that our members are going to be proud to support.
00:27:35.000And, you know, and they're going to feel good every time they put that card on the table to pay for dinner or to buy a product.
00:28:20.000C-O-I-G-N.com to go there, sign up on the wait list.
00:28:23.000You're going to, we're going to continue to talk to you.
00:28:25.000We're hoping in a matter of weeks, cards are going to start to roll out.
00:28:30.000Little issue with a chip shortage, believe it or not.
00:28:32.000You're going to, the first cards have gold chips on them.
00:28:34.000We wanted silver, but there were no silver chips to be had.
00:28:37.000So a little supply chain issue that America is suffering, not just coin, but we're weeks away.
00:28:44.000And like I said, we have the design, we have the technology, we're ready to go, just lining up those final few ships.
00:28:50.000And also a wait list allows us to kind of already pre-sort and get people in line.
00:28:57.000So kind of like any concert, you buy your ticket and then you get in line and then they kind of segment you and you go to the right door based on where you're sitting.
00:29:04.000And that's kind of what we're trying to do.
00:29:06.000And I think it's been really effective.
00:30:07.000Just like every time, you know, I go to buy something, I book an airplane ticket.
00:30:10.000It's like that is now going to be part of the broader movement.
00:30:13.000So it's just like once you make that switch, then you don't have to actively think about supporting the causes you care about.
00:30:18.000It's like just living your life can then be in proper alignment, which is, that's what's so brilliant about it is that, and it's a product you already need.
00:30:26.000I mean, meaning 99% of people listening right now, you probably have credit cards, right?
00:30:30.000And then therefore you have credit cards that are likely going to causes that aren't aren't great.
00:30:58.000We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children.
00:31:04.000Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility.
00:31:08.000We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children.
00:31:11.000So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.
00:31:20.000Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the households, then we start making better investments.
00:31:27.000Yeah, lean forward used to be the saying of MSNBC.
00:31:31.000MSNBC used to be actually really interesting back then.
00:31:35.000And so it's just interesting because they were progressive, but at least they had some hosts that were somewhat fair, but then they just totally lost their mind.
00:31:43.000And so it was a different country back then.
00:31:45.0002013, she was fired actually for saying this.
00:31:48.000Now the president of the United States, Joe Biden, is saying that exact same thing.
00:31:52.000She'd probably be promoted today for saying such a thing.
00:31:56.000So how much aid is too much aid to Ukraine?
00:31:59.000We've been against obvious intervention there.
00:32:01.000We've come under fire for that because we actually want to secure our own border.
00:32:05.000Well, now Joe Biden is asking for $33 billion more to Ukraine.
00:32:12.000And yes, our southern border is still wide open.
00:32:15.000And yes, we have 100,000 plus drug overdoses.
00:32:19.000We've said for a while that D.C. has a loyalty and an allegiance to foreign countries more than our own.
00:32:26.000When was the last time Biden wanted $33 billion to prevent the invasion from Mexico and Nicaragua?
00:32:37.000But Joe Biden asking for $33 billion yesterday, cut 91.
00:32:44.000So we need to contribute arms, funding, ammunition, and the economic support to make their courage and sacrifice have purpose so they can continue this fight and do what they're doing.
00:32:55.000It's critical this funding gets approved and approved as quickly as possible.
00:33:31.000Tomorrow, we're going to do a whole episode.
00:33:34.000I don't want to touch on this, just maybe a little bit, but tomorrow, we're going to go all into the student loan thing, all about the history of it.
00:33:41.000We kind of didn't have time to get into that today.
00:33:43.000But Joe Biden is thinking about doing something on that, which will be very historic and not in a good way if he does that.
00:33:51.000So just kind of hang on there right there.
00:33:53.000I want to play this other tape here, though, where Jen Psaki was asked about Joe Biden's business dealings with Hunter Biden, PlayCut 83.
00:34:04.000We've heard the president say over and over again that he has never spoken to his son about his business dealings.
00:34:09.000Has he ever spoken to his son's business partners about his son's business dealings?
00:34:14.000Again, nothing has changed about what I said yesterday.
00:34:17.000The president does not get involved in the business dealings of his son, even through his son's business partners.
00:34:21.000Nothing has changed since what I said yesterday.
00:34:23.000I don't believe you answered that part of my question yesterday.
00:34:26.000He's not involved in his son's business dealings.
