The Democratic Party is desperate to keep young voters from defecting to the Republican Party. They know that young people are going to vote Democratic in 2020, and they have to go to any lengths to keep them there. Charlie Kirk and I discuss why this is happening.

00:00:01.000 I don't know why that's so controversial to say. 0.96
00:00:03.000 We talk about how young people are defecting from the Democrat Party and why they have to go to such paranoid, desperate lengths to try and smear us, the populist nationalist movement.

00:00:37.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:38.000 Here we go.
00:00:39.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:41.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:43.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:46.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:49.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:50.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:51.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:53.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:58.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:01:00.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:09.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:11.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:20.000 There's a political realignment happening that is once in a generation.
00:01:24.000 It's happening with Hispanics, it's happening with Latinos, it's happening with young people.
00:01:30.000 The 18-month campaign by the regime and the ruling class to try to punish the conservative base into submission, to try to bully us into bending a knee has failed remarkably.
00:01:44.000 And what we are seeing on multiple levels is a full court press by the Democrat Party to try to win back their base.
00:01:53.000 Most specifically, of course, with the student loan bailout package, which one of our listeners beautifully called a bribe, and that is just perfect.
00:02:02.000 It is a bribe.
00:02:03.000 It is nothing more than the federal government coming in and trying to bribe younger voters to say, vote for us, despite the fact that we keep on sending our money abroad.
00:02:12.000 Our borders are wide open.
00:02:14.000 Things cost twice as much as they did last year.
00:02:17.000 It's hard to buy a home.
00:02:19.000 The promises of the woke are totally and completely insane.
00:02:22.000 And because of this, young people are 13 points less likely to be liberal than they were five years ago.
00:02:28.000 This is amazing news, everybody.
00:02:30.000 This is huge.
00:02:32.000 This is a complete turning of how we are seeing young people process politics, get engaged in their local communities.
00:02:41.000 And so, this is the reason why the machine, why the political apparatus of the Democrat Party has to continue to go after young people.
00:02:51.000 It's all about children.
00:02:54.000 It's all about students.
00:02:57.000 It's all about young adults. 0.67
00:03:01.000 Do you notice how fixated they are on transgender youth surgeries? 0.97
00:03:06.000 How fixated they are on making sure your children are exposed to these insidious and corrosive ideologies.
00:03:15.000 You see, children are the future of any political movement, civilization, or country.
00:03:22.000 It's obvious.
00:03:24.000 And now that young people and their parents alongside of them are becoming far more conservative, they are leaning in in aggressive ways to try to win back younger voters and try to control them altogether.
00:03:41.000 One piece of history that I study is the Red Guard, Mao Sedong, who took over China and started the Chinese Communist Party.
00:03:52.000 One of the characteristics of the Red Guard was that they had the little Red Guard.
00:03:58.000 The Little Red Guard was a selective children's organization sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party from December 1967 through October 1978.
00:04:09.000 School students 6 to 14 years old were members of this party.
00:04:15.000 During the Cultural Revolution, students that were in the Red Guard were told to report on adults and other people in society of whether or not they were loyal to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:04:30.000 Now, this organization is different than the Red Guard, which was older teens and college-aged youth.
00:04:37.000 But the Little Red Guard, they would patrol around, not in any uniform, and they would look and listen to what adults were saying.
00:04:46.000 And then they would go to the state, they would go to the Chinese Communist Party government and report them.
00:04:54.000 They were able to have unbelievable amount of information of domestic surveillance.
00:05:04.000 Orwell said this perfectly in 1984.
00:05:08.000 By the way, Germany did the same thing, and so did Russia.
00:05:10.000 You ever heard the term Mother Russia?
00:05:13.000 The term Mother Russia came from the idea that your true mother is not your birth mother, but it is the state.
00:05:21.000 It is the leviathan.
00:05:23.000 George Orwell wrote in 1984, In our society, we have cut the links between child and parent, between man and woman, between man and man.
00:05:34.000 No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. 0.99
00:05:39.000 But in the future, there will be no wives and there will be no friends.
00:05:43.000 Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as ones from eggs from a hen. 0.80
00:05:48.000 I want to play a piece of tape here.
00:05:49.000 Play cut 30.
00:05:51.000 Consider this post from Susan's feed.
00:05:53.000 It's from her uncle Steve, who claims, everybody knows COVID is no worse than the flu.
00:06:00.000 Beware of phrases like everybody or nobody.
00:06:03.000 Statements like these often commit the fallacy of mob appeal by appealing to the emotions of a crowd for an idea to be accepted or rejected.
00:06:11.000 Comparing a pandemic virus to a seasonal virus also commits the fallacy of weak analogy because the two viruses have telling differences.
00:06:20.000 Steve fails to share those differences, committing the fallacy of suppressed evidence.
00:06:25.000 Finally, unless Steve is an infectious disease expert, he is also committing the fallacy of appeal to authority.
00:06:32.000 He is presenting this information as if he were an expert in the field when he is not.
00:06:37.000 What was that?
00:06:39.000 That was a Department of Homeland Security video published by your government, targeted to young people, attacking the uncle who compares COVID to the flu and encouraging them to potentially report them.
00:06:56.000 That you should need to report your elders to the state.
00:06:59.000 Let me continue with Orwell here.
00:07:01.000 But before I do, let me play actually the next clip of why it's about the CDC and they say this is why you can trust the CDC.
00:07:08.000 This is government propaganda.
00:07:11.000 They need to destroy the bond between a parent and a child.
00:07:18.000 Young people are fleeing the Democrat Party.
00:07:23.000 And so now they have to destroy the bond between a parent and a child.
00:07:28.000 PlayCut 31.
00:07:30.000 Susan doubts her uncle's claim, but she isn't an infectious disease expert either.
00:07:35.000 That brings us to the core of this lesson.
00:07:37.000 Do your own research and rely on fact-based sources.
00:07:42.000 Official and verified sources are held accountable for the accuracy of the information they share.
00:07:47.000 For example, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website should be favored because they are a trustworthy source due to large government funding, nonpartisan college-educated experts, and years of experience in the field.
00:08:00.000 Yeah, the CDC could be trusted because of how much funding they receive, according to the CDC and the DHS and college-educated experts.
00:08:10.000 Orwell continues in 1984.
00:08:13.000 It's so profound because he studied Mao.
00:08:15.000 He studied the Soviet Union.
00:08:18.000 He said children will be taken from their mothers at birth as one takes eggs from a hen. 0.97
00:08:22.000 The sex instinct will be eradicated.
00:08:24.000 Procreation will be an annual formality for the renewal of a ration card.
00:08:29.000 We shall abolish anything close to true relationships.
00:08:35.000 There will be no loyalty except loyalty towards the party.
00:08:38.000 There'll be no love except the love of Big Brother.
00:08:41.000 There'll be no laughter except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy.
00:08:46.000 There'll be no art.
00:08:47.000 There'll be no literature.
00:08:48.000 There'll be no science.
00:08:51.000 There'll be no need of these things.
00:08:54.000 There'll be no distinction between beauty and ugliness.
00:08:57.000 There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life.
00:09:02.000 All competing pleasures will be destroyed.
00:09:06.000 No distinction between beauty and ugliness.
00:09:08.000 Boy, does that sound like what we're living through right now?
00:09:11.000 It's all about the next generation.
00:09:14.000 This is why what we are doing at Turning Point USA, in my opinion, is the most important work.
00:09:19.000 Right now, we have over 100 full-time people at Turning Point USA starting high school and college chapters across the country.
00:09:25.000 No other organization is doing that work except us.
00:09:28.000 No one.
00:09:29.000 The regime has a multi-trillion dollar campaign to take your child or your grandchild away from you, to tear them away from your values, to make young people share completely and totally opposite ideas from you.
00:09:42.000 That's how they're able to implement this form of tyranny. 0.99
00:09:48.000 Right now, Bank of America has just lowered its 2022 forecast for the SP 500 by a whopping 900 points to 3,600.
00:09:58.000 Saying we're headed for a recession this year, it said the new year target is the lowest on the street.
00:10:03.000 This is not good news for those of you stuck in equities or anything tied to stock markets.
00:10:07.000 I know thousands of people who have put their trust in Noble Gold to prevent losing money and the financial storm that is brewing.
00:10:14.000 You can join them by calling their expert team.
00:10:16.000 Noble Gold has recently voted the number one gold company in the country by consumer affairs.

00:10:46.000 You cannot have a free society if people are perpetually in fear and do not trust one another.
00:10:54.000 If you all of a sudden turn a society or a civilization into perpetual fight or flight, am I being monitored?
00:11:02.000 Am I being watched?
00:11:04.000 Am I being listened to?
00:11:06.000 Am I being spied on?
00:11:08.000 The worst of human nature starts to kick in.
00:11:12.000 And that is precisely what happens in every single one of these authoritarian and totalitarian countries.
00:11:18.000 And what's ended up, what's the dynamics that are happening right now is really concerning the Democrats and the leaders.
00:11:24.000 And this is really good news for us, everybody.
00:11:26.000 I know there's so much bad news out there.
00:11:29.000 I know there's so much nonsense out there.
00:11:31.000 I know there's so much just overwhelming negativity.
00:11:36.000 But there are three things happening simultaneously that I want to pinpoint for you.
00:11:41.000 Number one, it is the rise of the radical Gen Xer.
00:11:46.000 This is something that is not talked about a lot.
00:11:49.000 Gen X is a generation that has, and this is something they tell social scientists, they say this in surveys, they say this in opinion articles. 0.51
00:11:57.000 They feel kind of glossed over, that they've been waiting their turn, but for promotions and for business startups, it just seems as if they've lived in the shadow of baby boomers. 0.95
00:12:06.000 Well, now, Gen X, you are front and center. 0.75
00:12:09.000 It is the rise, it is the center right.
00:12:11.000 It is a hard right term with Gen X in a very, very serious way. 0.99
00:12:17.000 That's number one.
00:12:18.000 Number two, the children of Gen X are now getting more conservative education and exposure than ever before.
00:12:27.000 And you're seeing this reflected in polls.
00:12:29.000 Now, the children of baby boomers, that's my generation, and I am on the younger end of that generation, millennials, very liberal.
00:12:38.000 The children of baby boomers turned out to be very liberal.
00:12:40.000 The children of Gen X are turning out to be more moderate, more fair-minded, center-right.
00:12:47.000 I would like to say conservative, but the data doesn't quite show that yet.
00:12:51.000 But there is some movement.
00:12:52.000 So, number one is, I believe, the radicalization of Gen X, where they are now seeing their kids indoctrinated by this nonsense.
00:13:01.000 They're seeing the southern border completely wide open.
00:13:04.000 They're seeing their infrastructure be overrun by third world infiltrators in their country from Nicaragua, Honduras, and even Tajikistan.
00:13:13.000 Gen X is now going to send a massive political message to Washington, D.C. and to the entire country that we now want political representation, and we're going to vote more Republican than Democrat. 0.57
00:13:26.000 I guarantee it.
00:13:27.000 We're going to see it in major states.
00:13:29.000 It's going to surprise people.
00:13:30.000 We saw that in Virginia.
00:13:32.000 Virginia was a Gen X election. 0.75
00:13:35.000 Now, for those of you that might say, well, Charlie, what is Gen X again?
00:13:38.000 Let's do a little refreshing.
00:13:39.000 Gen X is the demographic of people that were born in the late 1970s to the early 1980s as ending birth years, with the generation broadly defined as people born between 1965 and 1980.
00:13:54.000 That's what's considered to be Gen X.
00:13:57.000 So they've always kind of felt as if they've lived in the shadow of baby boomers.
00:14:03.000 Well, not anymore.
00:14:05.000 Front and center.
00:14:06.000 And their kids are now becoming voters.
00:14:08.000 And they're getting right into the main thrust of American policies.
00:14:13.000 Number two, it kind of ties this.
00:14:15.000 Younger voters defecting.
00:14:16.000 They're not getting interested.
00:14:17.000 They're not knocking on doors.
00:14:19.000 I mean, you saw it a little bit with the Roe v. Wade protests.
00:14:23.000 Yeah, there were people outside of the justices' homes.
00:14:26.000 There were some marches here.
00:14:28.000 Way underwhelming.
00:14:29.000 This generation has activism fatigue.
00:14:33.000 This generation has been like, all right, we've protested for way too much stuff for the last couple of years. 0.95
00:14:38.000 We're done.
00:14:39.000 We protested for Ukraine.
00:14:40.000 We protested for George Floyd.
00:14:43.000 We protested for protests against Donald Trump. 1.00
00:14:46.000 We wore those silly, stupid hats, those pink hats. 1.00
00:14:49.000 We're done. 1.00
00:14:51.000 We have activism fatigue.
00:14:53.000 They have become, and this is not good for the country, but it is temporarily good for the conservative movement.
00:14:58.000 They have become unbelievably cynical.
00:15:03.000 And I saw this when I visited University of California, Berkeley.
00:15:05.000 I saw it firsthand.
00:15:07.000 They are not utopians.
00:15:09.000 They are not, they're just like, just let me do weed.
00:15:11.000 And if I want to do ecstasy, don't bard, you know, don't come into my apartment. 1.00
00:15:17.000 Everything is stupid. 0.99
00:15:18.000 There's really no meaning anymore. 1.00
00:15:20.000 And now I'm oversimplifying, right?
00:15:22.000 There's some phenomenal young people that are not that cynical, but there is kind of this malaise of cynicism that has certainly set in, unmistakably.
00:15:31.000 Me too, Ukraine, BLM, anti-Trump, Occupy, all of it together.
00:15:36.000 They're kind of just like, I'm done.
00:15:38.000 And then the third dynamic that is playing into this that has the Democrat Party extremely nervous.
00:15:44.000 This is why they're acting with desperation.
00:15:46.000 This is why they are acting in panic.
00:15:49.000 This is why they're acting in distress.
00:15:52.000 Is Latinos are leaving the Democrat Party?
00:15:55.000 I think Latinos are going to get close to a 50-50 battleground demographic.
00:16:00.000 If that happens, all bets are off.
00:16:02.000 Arizona, congressional districts in Texas, all across there.
00:16:06.000 Democrats are seeing this happen.
00:16:11.000 Look, let me tell you, the worldwide food crisis is making headlines again.
00:16:15.000 Just recently, Business Insider said we're in a global food crisis that will wreak havoc on local economies and possibly trigger civil unrest.
00:16:23.000 They also said food shortages have led to civil unrest in the past with deadly consequences.
00:16:28.000 Remember, you are nine meals away from anarchy.
00:16:31.000 That's right, nine meals away from anarchy.

00:17:20.000 I want to give you another piece of hope here.
00:17:22.000 If their victory was inevitable, then their propaganda and their tyranny wouldn't be necessary.
00:17:31.000 If it was certain that they were going to win, if it was 100% that the Democrats and the collectivists and the Marxists and the totalitarians and the fascists, we'll get to that in a second, were going to win, then they would not need to continue their propaganda campaign.
00:17:46.000 They wouldn't need to continue to infiltrate our political groups.
00:17:50.000 They wouldn't need to continue to lie about us.
00:17:53.000 If you were to just take a step back, I did this last week with obviously the birth of my daughter, and I didn't really listen to a lot of news and I just kind of took a step back and I was just reading through things and I said, boy, the regime, the left, the collectivists, the Leviathan, they're acting incredibly desperate.
00:18:16.000 These are not moves of a stable ruling group at all.
00:18:23.000 These are moves of a these are the last gasps of the fall of Rome.
00:18:29.000 This is battle the bulge type stuff where you just throw everything you possibly can at the very end where you kind of see the writing on the wall.
00:18:36.000 You see that things are not going in the direction that you want them to.
00:18:42.000 So yesterday I went on Fox News with Sean Duffy, a phenomenal American.
00:18:46.000 I really like him on Laura Ingram's program.
00:18:49.000 She's off this week.
00:18:50.000 And the whole topic was about Joe Biden's comments calling half the country fascists.
00:18:58.000 And I think we have the tape here of Joe Biden saying it, which kind of frame up our conversation here.
00:19:03.000 But it's Joe Biden that went on and on and on about how half the country are basically semi-fascists.
00:19:12.000 So the Democrat running for governor in Florida, Charlie Crist, said, well, Biden was being honest about half the country being semi-fascist.
00:19:18.000 Play cut two.
00:19:19.000 What do you think about the president calling millions of Americans semi-fascist?
00:19:24.000 Listen, he's got to express and be honest about what he feels in his heart and his soul.
00:19:28.000 And I think that's probably exactly what he did.
00:19:31.000 And that's exactly what he did.
00:19:33.000 To kind of give you more of more clarity on this, let's go to cut nine, Brian Kilmead on Fox and Friends discussing Biden's recent statement, play cut nine.
00:19:43.000 But Biden really didn't feel like he nailed it, so he went a step further saying this, quote, what we're seeing now is the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MA philosophy.
00:19:52.000 It's not just Trump, it's the entire philosophy.
00:19:54.000 Wait for it.
00:19:55.000 It's like semi-fascism.
00:19:58.000 Semi-fascism is what Joe Biden said.
00:20:01.000 And look, he said it at a fundraiser and he said, look, you could call these guys semi-fascist.
00:20:06.000 Very similar to calling half the country deplorables, half the country that they cling to their Bible, their guns, their God, and their religion, or whatever Barack Hussein Obama said back then.
00:20:17.000 So what is a fascist exactly?
00:20:19.000 Where do we get that term fascism from?
00:20:21.000 The left loves throwing it around.
00:20:24.000 Well, fascism is where the government comes into partnership with certain private businesses, and it is best described as institutionalized crony capitalism.
00:20:37.000 Fascism in the simplest terms is government controlling the business of the select few and opposition or dissent is not permitted.
00:20:46.000 Now, usually the National Socialist Workers' Party, the Nazis, in the 1930s and 40s, is usually used as the best example of fascism.
00:20:56.000 But there's other examples.
00:20:57.000 Benito Mussolini, for example, was a fascist in Italy.
00:21:02.000 But this is where, and I'm not exactly a fan of her metaphysical philosophy, nor am I a fan of her moral philosophy, but I have to give credit where credit is due.
00:21:12.000 Ayn Rand was the best at articulating how fascism and Marxism are the same philosophy implemented differently.
00:21:24.000 She was the first writer to articulate this back in the 50s and 60s.
00:21:28.000 It's a very famous quote where she said that it's the same ugly face of the clenched fist against humanity or something of the boot of totalitarianism on the throat of liberty, something like that.
00:21:42.000 There's this very good quote by Ayn Rand, but what is the point of that?
00:21:45.000 Which is that fascism and communism are outgrowths of the same philosophy.
00:21:52.000 They're outgrowths of the same belief that the state is central, that natural rights do not come from God, that you should not have separation of powers or consent of the governed.
00:22:02.000 Ayn Rand wrote, fascism, Nazism, communism, and socialism are only superficial variations of the same monstrous theme, collectivism.
00:22:11.000 It's exactly right.
00:22:12.000 So they're all outgrowths of the same philosophy, which is collectivism, totalitarianism, and authoritarianism.
00:22:24.000 And sometimes we conflate them and we sometimes say, well, I mean, they're polar opposites.
00:22:30.000 I mean, there's this whole nonsensical philosophy out there that, well, if you're far right, you're a fascist.
00:22:37.000 And if you're far left, you are a Marxist.
00:22:40.000 Like, wait, wait a sec.
00:22:41.000 Wait, hold on.
00:22:41.000 What?
00:22:42.000 So if you go in the political continuum too far to the left, you want bigger government.
00:22:46.000 And you go too far to the continuum on the political right, you want bigger government.
00:22:50.000 The entire, and then you have these buffoons on television that say, well, yeah, and then the political spectrum is like a circle, and then it all kind of comes together.
00:22:58.000 What?
00:22:59.000 None of this is logical at all.
00:23:01.000 None of it.
00:23:02.000 In fact, I wrote about this in my first ever book called Time for a Turning Point.
00:23:08.000 And instead, the political spectrum should be very simple, which is you start in the state of nature with no government and you move along the political spectrum of how much government intervention that you very well might want with other kind of trails of your own little flavor of fascism versus Marxism.
00:23:22.000 That would be a much more appropriate way of looking at the kind of government force.
00:23:30.000 Now, some people would say, well, Charlie, it goes from communism to socialism to capitalism to fascism.
00:23:35.000 No, it doesn't.
00:23:35.000 That is not true.
00:23:37.000 Fascism and capitalism are at odds from one another.
00:23:40.000 Socialism and fascism are easy cousins of one another.
00:23:43.000 In fact, very rarely do you ever get to socialism.
00:23:46.000 You usually get into the comfort of fascism.
00:23:48.000 And that is exactly where we are headed right now.
00:23:51.000 Instead of overtaking the pharmaceutical companies, we're just going to have a cozy relationship of the government with Johnson and Johnson.
00:23:57.000 Instead of taking over Boeing and nationalizing Boeing, which we shouldn't do, obviously, there'll just be kind of a cozy relationship between the government and a select few of businesses.
00:24:08.000 The actual overtaking or the government ownership of services is not going to happen in a very wealthy, affluent society.
00:24:16.000 The businesses are too powerful and the government is too corrupt, and people get richer under fascism.
00:24:23.000 Not you.
00:24:24.000 No, no, the kleptocrats get richer under fascism.
00:24:28.000 So, all of this to say, last night I went on television and talked about this, and it's gone totally viral.
00:24:35.000 It's everywhere for whatever reason. 0.98
00:24:39.000 I don't think I said anything that remarkable because I said, wait a second, if you want to talk about who the fascists are, Joe Biden, you're a fascist. 0.97
00:24:48.000 Fascist actually means bundle of sticks. 0.89
00:24:52.000 You could take that for however you want when describing Joe Biden.
00:24:54.000 Play cut 28.
00:24:56.000 That if they're going to escalate the language, then game on.
00:24:59.000 Like, okay, if you're going to call us a bunch of fascists, we're not going to take that anymore. 0.97
00:25:03.000 You're the fascist, Joe Biden, and there's other words we could use as well. 0.76
00:25:06.000 We're not going to be like, well, I'd like to go back to the time of 2014. 0.98
00:25:09.000 I'm sorry.
00:25:10.000 That's done.
00:25:10.000 It's over.
00:25:11.000 They're calling you the worst thing that could be called in decent political conversation.
00:25:16.000 And what are we going to do?
00:25:17.000 Like, oh, well, we need to find a common ground.
00:25:19.000 We have to displace these people from power right now.
00:25:19.000 No, we have to win.
00:25:23.000 Pay attention.
00:25:24.000 This is the Rubicon that's been crossed when they call half the country fascist.
00:25:28.000 They call half the country fascist.
00:25:31.000 That is now the normal construct that they present.
00:25:33.000 Why are they doing this?
00:25:36.000 Why are they continually pushing this forward?
00:25:39.000 Because they're desperate.
00:25:41.000 The Democrats are not in a favorable position.
00:25:44.000 If you call your opponent a fascist, you are then more likely to be able to use the Federal Bureau of Investigation to infiltrate their political group.
00:25:53.000 But I also want to mention this, and I was communicating with a friend of mine yesterday from Chicago, and I noticed something.
00:26:02.000 This is just the benefit of when you take a week off and you can clear your mind.
00:26:06.000 Have you noticed what is missing from the American political discourse right now?
00:26:11.000 Have you noticed that no one is playing the race card right now?
00:26:15.000 No one.
00:26:16.000 In 2020, the race card was everywhere.
00:26:18.000 Equity, white fragility, George Floyd, riots, BLM. 0.68
00:26:26.000 It is the first major election in the last six years where race has not become a full and complete central theme.
00:26:37.000 Now, of course, that overweight woman, whatever her name is, on television, she played up the race card. 1.00
00:26:44.000 I don't know, Lizzo or whatever her name is.
00:26:46.000 No one listens to her.
00:26:47.000 I'm talking about the actual architects of the Democrat Party.
00:26:53.000 I'm talking about the people that are at the top levels, Mark Elias and the puppet masters.
00:27:01.000 It's very interesting how the race card is not being played that much.
00:27:04.000 Why do you think that is?
00:27:05.000 A working theory I have is maybe calling the country racist doesn't work.
00:27:11.000 And what community do you think doesn't like hearing about Black Lives Matter all the time?
00:27:19.000 The Latino community.
00:27:21.000 The Latino community doesn't like talking about race all the time.
00:27:24.000 They just don't.
00:27:25.000 They don't want to hear that America's a racist country.
00:27:28.000 That is a deeply unpopular message in the Latino community.
00:27:33.000 And so we've now transitioned, and this is now what they're trying to transition to, from trying to call half the country racists to now trying to call half the country fascists.
00:27:45.000 This is their new play.
00:27:46.000 And so I said this on television intentionally.
00:27:49.000 And I'd love your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:27:51.000 If you felt I went too intense, some people said, Charlie, you can't call them fascists.
00:27:54.000 Oh, well, I just did.
00:27:56.000 But you think the only way to stop them from calling half the country fascist, this is what they do.
00:28:01.000 They try a balloon it and then they message it is to call them that very same thing immediately, out of the gate, unapologetically.
00:28:10.000 The World Economic Forum is a fascist enterprise of the merging of state and private business into one.
00:28:20.000 Look at the proof in front of you.
00:28:22.000 They punish dissent.
00:28:24.000 They work back channel with Facebook.
00:28:26.000 You have the Federal Bureau of Investigation showing up to Facebook saying, please censor this story for us.
00:28:32.000 How is that not fascist?
00:28:35.000 You have the FBI raiding the home of a former president.
00:28:38.000 How is that not fascist?
00:28:40.000 You have a government that says if you do not take an experimental gene therapy, you're not able to get a job.
00:28:46.000 How is that not fascist?
00:28:48.000 They're the ones that commit political violence.
00:28:52.000 They are the ones that use state power for their own means.
00:28:55.000 And so I'm not going to just say, well, yeah, that's a terrible thing to say.
00:28:59.000 No, no, no, no.
00:29:00.000 Equal and opposite reaction.
00:29:04.000 They are counting on our decency.
00:29:06.000 And that's fine.
00:29:07.000 We can remain decent, but that doesn't mean we have to be weak.
00:29:11.000 They don't like it when you call them fascists.
00:29:13.000 They don't like it, but that's who they are.
00:29:16.000 You see, I've lived through this for 10 years.
00:29:19.000 Every time they call us something extraordinary, oh, deplorable this, we kind of say, oh, that's so reprehensible.
00:29:24.000 That's terrible.
00:29:25.000 And we never respond in kind. 0.97
00:29:28.000 Of course, they're fascists. 0.97
00:29:30.000 They're transparently fascists. 0.99
00:29:32.000 Anytime they say, say, no, actually, you're a fascist. 0.83
00:29:35.000 Let me ask you this: who's the fascist? 0.97
00:29:38.000 The one that wants school choice and parental rights, or the one that is willing to take a child away from a parent without their consent and get them chemically castrated.
00:29:48.000 That's pharmaceutical fascism, if you ask me.
00:29:51.000 Who's the fascist exactly?
00:29:53.000 The one that wants a free and open internet, or the one that works via the CDC and the FDA to go shut up a singular dissident researcher and journalist, Alex Berenson.
00:30:06.000 Sounds like fascism to me.
00:30:08.000 Alex Berenson, a former New York Times columnist, has now said in his lawsuit there is evidence the Biden White House was back channeling with Twitter to shut him up.
00:30:18.000 Boy, that sounds like jack-booted, thuggery Mussolini-type tactics, Mr. Biden.
00:30:24.000 If we allow them to frame us as fascists, then some swing voters might get really scared.
00:30:28.000 Okay, who is the fascist? 0.97
00:30:30.000 Mark Kelly's a fascist.
00:30:31.000 He voted for 87,000 IRS agents to intimidate small businesses.
00:30:36.000 So is Kirsten Cinema, Raphael Warnock?
00:30:41.000 The time of playing nice is over.
00:30:44.000 And I said this on the program, and I'll say it again, and I will defend it, which is this: which is they started it.
00:30:52.000 If all of a sudden you're now going to call us semi-fascists, we'll call you ultra-fascists because that's who you are.
00:31:00.000 You are all, it's all the different, it's the same essence.
00:31:05.000 It's the same thing, it's the same substance, but maybe a different flavor: fascism, Marxism, socialism.
00:31:12.000 It's all totalitarianism.
00:31:15.000 The necessary ingredient for fascism is the state's total domination of all aspects of life, including economic life.
00:31:25.000 Mussolini defined fascism as everything in the state.
00:31:30.000 Nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.
00:31:34.000 And now the other side, they're freaking out because they know the race card doesn't work anymore.
00:31:39.000 The Me Too card doesn't work anymore.
00:31:41.000 The Ukraine card never worked.
00:31:43.000 And so now they have to do something different, which is we're just going to call half the country fascists, as if they're in the mold of Mussolini or in the mold of the National Socialist Workers' Party in the 1930s.
00:31:57.000 They're not good at defense.
00:31:59.000 The left is an amazing offensive operation.
00:32:03.000 When they play offense, they're good.
00:32:05.000 When they play defense, they crumble.
00:32:07.000 This is why they need to try to indict Donald Trump.
00:32:11.000 Donald Trump, despite all of his faults, and I know we get tons of emails from you, Charlie, I hate Trump.
00:32:14.000 I don't care.
00:32:15.000 Okay, I don't want to hear it.
00:32:16.000 One thing Trump was great at, nonstop offense.
00:32:20.000 The left hates playing defense.
00:32:21.000 They're not good at it.
00:32:22.000 All they know is how to project and how to make themselves seem bigger than they actually are.
00:32:27.000 They are a political movement of a mirage.
00:32:30.000 When they actually have to get on their heels and play defense, school boards, Second Amendment, they lose and they lose big.
00:32:38.000 When we set the terms of engagement, we win.
00:32:40.000 But Republicans, there's this, it's so frustrating.
00:32:43.000 I'm trying to shake people out of it.
00:32:44.000 What I said on Fox Slides, who's been trending everywhere, shouldn't be controversial at all, is that the essence that I'm trying to get Republicans to understand and consider is that the country you grew up in is no longer around.
00:33:00.000 You see, people are afraid to call the other side fascists because they say, well, Charlie, that's going to descend us into a very bad place.
00:33:07.000 Yeah, we're in a very bad place right now. 0.79
00:33:10.000 They're the reckless and irresponsible ones. 0.93
00:33:12.000 The president of the United States, Joe Biden, called half the country fascists. 0.88
00:33:16.000 How do you respond?
00:33:18.000 With a press conference?
00:33:19.000 With a letter?
00:33:21.000 How do you respond?
00:33:22.000 Suggesting corporate tax rates?
00:33:25.000 Or how about a retreat in Jackson Hole?
00:33:29.000 We win when we play offense.
00:33:32.000 We lose when we play defense. 0.93
00:33:36.000 These are fascist groomers.
00:33:39.000 They do this intentionally, and they have for quite some time.
00:33:44.000 And you can see how the media reacts.
00:33:45.000 They don't like it when we start talking like this because they know when we start talking like this, they're going to lose.
00:33:51.000 They know it.
00:33:53.000 And I will not apologize.
00:33:55.000 In fact, no, I will the opposite.
00:33:56.000 I will take a victory lap saying and defending the fact that the fascist grooming degenerate left needs to be called out for the core philosophy of what they believe.
00:34:09.000 They do not believe in a free society.
00:34:11.000 It's that simple.
00:34:13.000 It's free society versus authoritarianism.
00:34:16.000 You can call it, all these terms are applicable.
00:34:18.000 If you call them Marxists, that's fine.
00:34:20.000 If you call them communists, that's okay.
00:34:23.000 If you call them socialists, okay. 0.58
00:34:27.000 If you call them fascists, that's fine.
00:34:31.000 But I think actually fascism is the most appropriate term.
00:34:38.000 The merging of state and government interests.
00:34:43.000 They're able to call us whatever we want.
00:34:45.000 And Republicans say, well, we need to get back to a policy debate.
00:34:48.000 If you want a policy debate, go to a coffee shop and have one with some sort of a professor that probably got fired.
00:34:57.000 If you want a policy debate, you're in the wrong place in the wrong time.
00:35:03.000 Go wear a bow tie and go do a Skype call with some irrelevant think tank person.
