00:01:13.000Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Josh Hawley, Kayleigh McEnany, Steve Bannon, Benny Johnson, Tim Poole, Mike Lindell, Jack Pesobic, Ali Stuckey, and more.
00:01:50.000His 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.
00:01:58.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:39.000Okay, but I always thought of the NHL as a kind of really gritty league, kind of anti-woke in a sense, and like the recent phenomena.
00:03:50.000And it's a really, it's a tough sport.
00:03:52.000I got to say, I have a lot of respect for hockey players.
00:03:55.000The amount of work they put in, it is physically exhausting.
00:03:58.000I think they have the shortest offseason, and they are also the least paid per game per hour as far if you count baseball, basketball, football, hockey as kind of the major four.
00:04:11.000But you got to have a lot of respect for hockey players.
00:04:13.000And so with all that being said, the woke mind virus knows no bounds.
00:04:21.000The woke pathogen has no borders, no barriers.
00:04:26.000And yes, it's infected the National Basketball Association.
00:04:29.000It's infected the National Football League.
00:04:31.000It has infected Major League Baseball.
00:04:33.000But I think MLB has done a pretty good job of immunizing itself from it.
00:04:37.000And now it has completely and totally infected the National Hockey League.
00:04:44.000So I fully admit, I really haven't watched much of a hockey game in seven years.
00:04:49.000But now the National Hockey League is going out of their way to pander to woke ideology, diversity, equity, inclusion, affirmative action guidelines, hockey of all sports.
00:05:06.000I think the one area that we are feeling positive about is that 38% of our workforce are women.
00:05:16.000Having said that, we know we have work to do with women of color and you're leaning into that.
00:05:21.000I think the thing that you should take away from the workforce study is that it is a progressive outlook on how you begin to manage your talent.
00:05:33.000All right, I'm really getting upset about this.
00:05:34.000So they want to diversify the National Hockey League.
00:05:38.000Why don't they want to diversify the National Basketball Association?
00:07:28.000And on average, in inner-city America, black families have less income, less money, all that nonsense we always hear because black fathers don't stick around.
00:07:37.000And so basketball is a lot more popular.
00:07:50.000Do you think an average black kid in Harlem dreams about becoming LeBron James or becoming Alexander Oveshkin, or however you say his last name?
00:08:01.000I don't even know that's his first name, Alexander.
00:08:02.000I know like three hockey players right now.
00:08:05.000What do you think that they dream to become like?
00:08:08.000So instead of looking at the National Hockey League as being not that interesting for black America, no, they want to now put in new diversity, equity, inclusion guidelines to try to force a recomposition of which, as if race means something, I think race means nothing.
00:08:37.000Now, if I were to just venture a guess, I would imagine the National Hockey League probably per capita has more foreign players than basketball and football.
00:08:46.000That's probably a guess, a good guess.
00:08:47.000And they come from predominantly white countries.
00:08:52.000And so now the NHL has this new diversity, equity, inclusion czar, this woman, Kim Davis.
00:09:00.000And look, this is going to sound cruel, and I don't care.
00:09:03.000If you've never played the sport, I don't want to hear from you.
00:11:38.000But since when has that ever been a problem for the American left?
00:11:41.000They do whatever they want to try to seize more power, even if it means purging the Supreme Court of its most experienced justices.
00:11:47.000To no one's surprise, their new court purging scheme would remove long-serving, amazing justices like the super brilliant Clarence Thomas and the courageous Samuel Alito.
00:11:57.000They would then replace these new justices with a rubber stamp and their radical agenda.
00:12:02.000Since Democrats are working hard to pass court purging with term limits, we need to work even harder to stop it, or the Supreme Court, as we know it, will never be the same.
00:12:09.000If you care about the integrity of the Supreme Court and don't want to see it taken over by political hacks, go to supremecoup.com.
00:15:56.000Of course, they got all the gay stuff here.
00:15:58.000Our workforce demographic study is in the most progressive demographic survey.
00:16:01.000Just curious, the average hockey fan that goes to a Calgary Flames game or a Chicago Blackhawks or the Avalanche or the San Jose Sharks, an average hockey fan, do you think they're marching in gay pride parades?
00:16:18.000What percentage of hockey fans do you think are actively involved in like gay activism?
00:17:35.000The left destroys everything it touches, and it's well on its way of destroying hockey as we know it.
00:17:43.000Rents are soaring at unprecedented highs.
00:17:46.000If you're renting or have a friend or family member, that is, now is a great time to make the move to homeownership.
00:17:52.000Look, you got to own renting, that's great reset stuff.
00:17:55.000Andrew Del Rey and Todd of Akian at Sierra Pacific Mortgage have helped so many people make that leap from renting to owning with lots of programs that offer first-time buyers assistance with little to no down payment needed.
00:18:08.000I encourage you right now to visit my buddies, their website.
00:18:17.000The thing I love about these guys is it's not about the transaction.
00:18:20.000They're helping you create a plan to help you reach your goals.
00:18:23.000Give them a call or go to their website, andrewandTodd.com.
00:18:26.000With today's still historically low interest rates, it's easier than you think to become a homeowner.
00:18:30.000I've relied on them and producer Andrew has as well.
00:18:33.000I highly recommend you take action now.
00:18:35.000And if you knew someone paying rent, tell them about Andrew and Todd.
00:18:38.000Go to andrewandtodd.com and tell them the Charlie Kirk Show sent you.
00:18:45.000Joining us now is Michael Walsh, author of Against the Great Reset: 18 Theses Contra the New World Order, with contributions from Victor Davis Hansen, Douglas Murray, Roger Kimball, Angelo Cotavia, may he rest in peace, James Poulos, Conrad Black, Michael Anton, David Goldman, Janice Fimengio, John Tierney, Harry Stein, and more.
00:19:31.000The idea behind the book is it's a direct attack on the great reset.
00:19:35.000And I know, Charlie, you've talked about it a lot, and many of our colleagues in the conservative movement have talked about it.
00:19:41.000But very briefly, it's an idea that arose at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
00:19:48.000It's been kicking around for some years now.
00:19:50.000And generally on the left, it's been dismissed by our ideological opponents as a conspiracy theory.
00:19:59.000And yet the World Economic Forum, under the direction of Klaus Schwab, is quite open about their ambition for the world, which is, to put it in a nutshell, you will own nothing and be happy.
00:20:13.000So as we said, as I say in the introduction to this book, this is our salvo, opening salvo, against Davos, against the Great Reset, against Schwab, against their plutocrats who would keep all of us basically confined to high-rise buildings, driving electric cars when and if they allow you to have them, and of course, eating bugs instead of beef, because after all, cows are killing the planet.
00:21:09.000Well, I think it's just a matter of control, Charlie.
00:21:12.000My last book was a bestseller called Last Stands, which was a military history book of why men fight when all is lost.
00:21:22.000And why they fight is because they're standing for something.
00:21:27.000And mostly they're trying to protect what they have, their families, their possessions, their country, their honor, their duty.
00:21:35.000None of this stuff means anything to these oligarchs who, remember, they have more money than ever was in Crassus' wildest dreams at the beginning of the first triumph with Caesar and Pompey.
00:21:50.000They are so rich and they're so used to having people do exactly what they tell them to do that they've decided to impose this on us by a combination of guilt-tripping over this imaginary threat of climate change and sheer force.
00:23:04.000The churches, of course, rolled right over, the synagogues too.
00:23:08.000So we all showed them we were, as the verse goes from Handel's Messiah, we like sheep have gone astray.
00:23:15.000No, we went right into the pen that they had prepared for us.
00:23:19.000And now what are we going to do about it?
00:23:20.000So against the Great Reset, I brought together some of the best writers and thinkers in the conservative movement, all very established people, to analyze this thing in each aspect of it.
00:23:34.000So, the economic, the social, the artistic, the world political, the nation from the view of the nation state, as Roger Kimball did for us.
00:23:43.000So, we wanted to just dissect these people.
00:23:46.000And now, Charlie, it's up to you and your guys, much younger people.
00:23:51.000I'm going to be 73 years old on Sunday.
00:23:54.000I can't believe it, from boy wonder to broken down old man in the blink of an eye, but it'll happen to you too.
00:24:04.000But I need people, and we need people your age, and you're doing a great job already, but to get in the game.
00:24:11.000And Steve Bannon has been very helpful, of course, pushing this book on the war room and letting people know about it.
00:24:18.000But the way I look at it is this: what you do, and what other people, your generation, are doing is mobilizing the youth and getting a ground game going, which we're all kind of too old and set in our ways now to do that.
00:24:34.000But there has to be an intellectual component to this movement.
00:24:37.000Remember, Bolshevism was an intellectual movement that opportunistically took over a revolution that had already happened, which was the first revolution against the Tsar.
00:24:48.000So, Lenin and his crew were ready, willing, and able, tan, rested, and ready, but you don't get tammed in Russia.
00:25:35.000There were riots, 1968, worst year in American history, up until probably recently, where you had the Chicago riots at the convention, the Democratic Convention.
00:25:46.000You had race riots after the assassination of Martin Luther King.
00:25:50.000You had other disturbances around the time of Bobby Kennedy's assassination.
00:25:56.000And, you know, those were just the first 10 months of the year.
00:26:09.000So all we can do now, and I'm saying this to you and to all of your younger listeners, because everybody's younger than me now, is learn the principles before you go into battle.
00:26:22.000My book, Last Stands, was a military history book.
00:26:25.000The book I'm writing right now, which is a sequel to it, is actually about pivotal, epical battles that changed history overnight.
00:26:34.000One of them, of course, is Alexander the Great against Darius at Galgamella.
00:26:40.000The second one was Caesar at Alesia, where he defeated Vercingetorix and the Gauls and therefore turned France basically into a colony of the Roman Empire.
00:26:49.000One of the crucial ones I'm writing about right now is the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, which no one's ever heard of, but it absolutely changed world history.
00:26:57.000Because when I tell you what it was, you'll know it immediately.
00:27:00.000It was the fight between Constantine the Great, Bladder the Great, and his co-emperor in the Western Roman Empire, Maxencius, for supremacy.
00:27:09.000And once Constantine won that fight, he then later converted to Christianity and made Christianity legal throughout the empire.
00:27:18.000Later on, it became the official religion of the Roman Empire.
00:27:22.000But without that battle at the Milvian Bridge in the early fourth century, the world would have a completely different look and feel and be a different place.
00:27:59.000And President Trump is in the Oval Office, and I'm in the executive office building talking with Mike Anton, who's a contributor to this book, and Sebastian Gorca.
00:28:13.000And I was saying, as we looked out at the West Wing, I said, you know, guys, seven years ago, it was five guys with laptops who decided to take on the media and take on the narrative.
00:28:25.000And we had a charismatic leader, Andrew Breitbart.
00:28:28.000And seven years later, Donald Trump's in the Whiteness.
00:28:32.000That's how fast it can happen if you understand the principles you're fighting for.
00:28:40.000What is Angelo Cotavilla's contribution to this?
00:28:43.000Because may he rest in peace, one of the smartest thinkers the last couple decades.
00:28:47.000I'm just curious, kind of what's his, just generally without giving away the details, his contribution.
00:28:51.000Yeah, he's talking about the educational system.
00:28:54.000So Angelo, who was such a dear man and dear friend to all of us, talks about resetting the educational reset.
00:29:03.000Angelo was, as a teacher, was very focused on what the education system has done to the younger generation of Americans over the course of, say, at least two generations now.
00:29:16.000And so he outlines the problem beautifully, as he always did, and then gives you some specifics on how to fight back.

00:31:15.000Well, it helps to have a good roll decks, which I've developed over the years.
00:31:20.000You know, as you know, Charlie, I spent 25 years in mainstream journalism, the last 16 of them at Time Act.
00:31:29.000And in that capacity, I was the classical music critic of time, but I was also a foreign correspondent, which meant that I was in Berlin when the wall came down in 1989.
00:31:40.000I was in Russia when Chernobyl blew up in 1986.
00:31:45.000I had quite a front row seat for the fall of communism.
00:31:48.000And I gradually moved into political commentary after I stopped writing about music and became both a novelist and a nonfiction writer.
00:31:57.000And most of the people in this book are personal friends of mine.
00:32:00.000Some I had never met, such as Conrad, but I think we have a very cordial relationship.
00:32:05.000It's not easy putting together the 1927 Yankees of consumer.
00:32:08.000No, seriously, that's what you've done here.
00:32:11.000It's Mickey Mantle, and it's, I think Mickey Mantle's at later.
00:32:28.000So, yeah, I mean, I could get broad or particular here.
00:32:32.000Either way you want to kind of go against.
00:32:34.000But, you know, when you have this kind of talent and you kind of get them together, I guess you chose the Great Reset because I think you probably believe it's an issue that transcends others, right?
00:34:23.000So it's got the European sign for stop, right?
00:34:27.000So that's the correct sign from the upper left to lower right.
00:34:34.000We did this because, first of all, we wanted stop.
00:34:36.000Second of all, we are part of an intellectual tradition of against books.
00:34:41.000And I mentioned some of them in the introduction, going all the way back to Cicero's Philippics against Mark Anthony, Nietzsche, Friedrich Nietzsche, the great philosopher, against Richard Wagner.
00:35:28.000A lot of us have died off, but not enough.
00:35:30.000So, you're still witnessing this battle.
00:35:32.000And I want young people to get that 60 spirit.
00:35:35.000You know, that was the time of the Beatles and the Stones and Led Zeppelin and the Who, and the music was great, and the political ferment was great.
00:35:43.000And I see too many young people, you're much closer to them than I am, obviously, but are apathetic.
