00:01:07.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:51.000But what if we look back and we realize we were just inches away from victory and that's when we decided to give up?
00:01:58.000Join us and thousands of American patriots for the summer convention that all are invited to.
00:02:06.000You're going to hear how we're going to win in 2024.
00:02:09.000The biggest speakers in the movement, featuring President Donald J. Trump.
00:02:15.000We're going to fight and we're going to win.
00:02:17.000Charlie Kirk, Devait Ramaswamy, Governor Christy Noam, Dr. Ben Carson, Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, Lara Trump, Senator Rick Scott, Congressman Matt Gates, Benny Johnson, Jack Pisovic, and more.
00:02:39.000June 14th through 16th, 2024 is our final battle in Detroit, Michigan.
00:02:44.000The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:03:30.000I think I might be the only Republican in America defending Christy Noam.
00:03:34.000I'm not doing it merely to be a contrarian.
00:03:37.000I'm not doing it because I care all that much about Christy Noam's political career.
00:03:43.000I'm not even doing it because I think it was a smart political move for Christy Noam to brag about shooting her dad in the back, her dad, her dog in the back of the head, like a yeller.
00:03:56.000But frankly, people are treating this as though she did shoot her dad or as though she did shoot a baby or as though she did shoot a human being.
00:04:05.000We have way too much of a confused dog puppy pet culture in America.
00:04:15.000We treat dogs like humans and we treat humans worse than dogs.
00:04:21.000My only argument here, for which I have been pilloried for weeks, is that there is nothing in principle wrong with putting down a farm animal in a humane way.
00:04:31.000Could Christy Noam have given the dog up for adoption?
00:04:40.000And many of the politicians who are attacking Christy Noam for this are people who gleefully celebrate abortion up until the fourth trimester as though it's some sort of human right.
00:04:50.000And I just think it is evidence that we have our priorities so backwards as a society.
00:04:55.000Well, and Dennis Prager's been warning about this for a couple decades.
00:04:58.000Dennis Prager has his famous test where he asked the question, if your dog was drowning or a stranger, a human being was drowning, who would you save?
00:05:06.000And a majority of Americans say they would save their dog.
00:05:10.000And that goes to show that they cannot answer the most fundamental question.
00:05:40.000The reason she put this in her book is because she was making a political calculation that as a woman, as a member of the weaker sex, she's got to prove that she's tough.
00:05:50.000And women politicians have had to do this for many years.
00:05:54.000She was called the Iron Lady because of that.
00:05:56.000They have to overcompensate and prove they're tough as nails.
00:05:59.000And so Christy Noam's political instincts, I think, are clearly a little off here if she thought that this tale of shooting poor little cricket in the back of the head because he massacred some chickens was going to win her any extra votes.
00:06:28.000And it didn't pay off because a friend of ours is fond of saying facts don't care about your feelings, which is true enough.
00:06:36.000But the problem with politics is politics almost exclusively cares about your feelings.
00:06:40.000So we can go through all day all of the moral and bioethical arguments about how dogs do not have rational souls and how the reason that humans need to make sure that we treat animals well is to preserve our own souls.
00:06:54.000And because to be cruel to animals is to deaden our humanity, as C.S. Lewis says.
00:06:58.000And because, as you say, Charlie, dogs on farms are tools.
00:07:02.000And sometimes you got to put down old yeller and yada, yada, yada.
00:07:04.000We can talk about that till we're blue in the face.
00:07:07.000But it is a fact that people love their dogs.
00:07:10.000And if you want to be the running mate to President Donald Trump, you probably shouldn't brag about killing one in a book.
00:07:17.000Well, and the way that she put it in the book, she's like, I hated that dog.
00:07:21.000And it just, she said that in the book.
00:07:28.000I'm just looking at this from a purely political calculus.
00:07:30.000I want to just say two thoughts on this.
00:07:32.000Number one, non-political, what I call normies in my life, they're horrified.
00:07:37.000I was just like walking, you know, the street the other day, and a couple people come up to me and they said, Charlie, we need to talk about how that Republican from the Midwest killed her dog.
00:07:46.000I was like, okay, let's just, you know, kind of go through the points here.
00:07:50.000But this is a very important issue, though.
00:07:53.000This is, if you are more worried about Christy Noam putting down an unruly dog and not worried about a million abortions every single year, you got a serious moral compass problem.
00:08:04.000And people say you're conflating two different things.
00:08:29.000Let's just say a person running for office says, I got an abortion and it helped me have a nice career and that's why we need planning out parenthood.
00:08:38.000How would that be different than killing cricket?
00:08:43.000She would be a symbol of liberation, of women's empowerment, of choice and freedom, as opposed to you put down this dog that had already massacred a bunch of chickens and was threatening people.
00:08:56.000And, you know, we have a responsibility as stewards of our environment and of animals to make sure that they don't do that sort of thing.
00:09:04.000They're painting her as Patrick Bateman, you know, hip-to-be square, about to axe his friend in an apartment as a total psycho.
00:09:14.000But of course, it's on the other side.
00:09:16.000The reason they do this is because, as Philip Ryans explained, former spokesman to Hillary Clinton, he went on TV, he said, I like animals more than I like people.
00:09:28.000I love my two cats, and I prefer animals to people.
00:09:47.000We need to kill our elderly through youth in Asia.
00:09:49.000We need to stop people from reproducing in Africa and India and the third world.
00:09:54.000We have to stop Indians from spreading electricity and industry throughout their country to raise their standard of living, to feed their families.
00:10:02.000We need to have a lot more human suffering in order to what?
00:10:07.000Save the polar bears, save the Delta Smelt?
00:10:09.000Because of a sardine in California, human beings need to die or not even be born.

00:13:49.000In the Noahic covenant, it set up this is the law for all people, right?
00:13:54.000And so this is all human beings according to the Torah are supposed to live under this covenant that God put with his chosen people via Noah after the flood.
00:14:06.000Prohibition of murder, prohibition of theft, this is before the Ten Commandments, prohibition of grave sexual immorality such as incest and adultery, and the prohibition of eating the limb of a live animal, which is a paradigm for cruelty.
00:14:18.000You know, Michael, we have to do a better job, I think, as Christians talking about, yes, there is a human-animal distinction, but you should never be cruel or torture an animal.
00:14:27.000In fact, it is the scriptures that pushed back against pagan practices of animal torture.
00:14:33.000Yes, and I've always found that the living limbs of animals are just not very tasty anyway.
00:14:37.000So even for aggustatory reasons, you should probably put it to the side.
00:14:41.000You make such a great observation here about how the true religion comes in and just shifts everything into perspective.
00:17:06.000And if the dog is there to enrich our life as human beings, and if and when the dog is not enriching your life, you have a duty and an obligation to either give that dog away or to deal with it humanely, not to ever torture or hit the animal.
00:17:24.000If you hit an animal, you're sinning against God.
00:17:52.000They'll give the dog away to a shelter, to the pound, to this, to that.
00:17:56.000They'll call PETA, the people for the ethical treatment of animals.
00:18:00.000PETA, I think, probably kills more animals every single year than anyone else.
00:18:04.000And by the way, the people who are whining about this are probably all eating their hamburgers and their steaks and their chicken while they do it.
00:19:01.000And remember Romney, I put my dog on the roof of a car and they like just mercilessly, I can say this, talking to people inside the Trump camp, I can say confidently, I don't think Christy Noam will be selected over this.
00:19:19.000We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.
00:19:23.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:19:26.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:19:31.000As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:19:37.000Your gift of pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:20:14.000Go to charliekirk.com, click on the pre-born banner.
00:20:18.000Michael, I want to get your take on this bill that passed the House of Representatives very quickly with remarkable speed, essentially censoring speech that is deemed anti-Semitic.
00:20:39.000But the problem with legislation through the House is the nicer sounding the title is, the worse the legislation is, generally.
00:20:48.000So this is called the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act.
00:20:51.000All of us hate Jew hatred, and it's a real problem.
00:20:53.000And it actually is obviously rising very quickly on the American left.
00:20:58.000And there are some places in the American right where it rises too.
00:21:01.000So I understand generally why they would push for a law like this, especially pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, with all of the craziness going on on the college campuses right now, the campus intifada with these young, purple-haired, half-lesbian, sort of left-wing activists wearing kefias and calling for the abolition of Israel.
00:21:52.000Republicans just can't resist clutching defeat from the jaws of victory.
00:21:57.000We are watching the left implode right now.
00:21:59.000There is this major wedge issue, the Israel-Gaza war, that is tearing the left apart because the left's base fanatically hates the state of Israel.
00:22:09.000And the left's establishment kind of likes the state of Israel.
00:22:13.000And most Americans broadly support the state of Israel.
00:22:16.000So you've got this issue where the left looks outrageous, looks hateful, looks insane, looks totally out of step with the American people.
00:22:25.000And one of the chief rules in politics is when your enemy is destroying himself, don't interrupt.
00:22:31.000But the Republicans can't help themselves.
00:22:33.000So they insert themselves into this debate.
00:22:36.000And they do so in an egregious way where they say, okay, we're going to amend the Civil Rights Act to specifically prohibit anti-Semitism in Title VI.
00:22:47.000We're not going to define anti-Semitism.
00:22:49.000We're going to outsource that to an organization that also doesn't define anti-Semitism.
00:22:56.000I read the definition today and it said, anti-Semitism is speech or behavior that attacks Jews or non-Jews that might be considered harmful, that might be this, it might be that.
00:23:07.000Then they give a list of examples of anti-Semitism, and you get some solid ones in there, like calling to kill the Jews.
00:23:14.000I think that'd be a pretty clear example.
00:23:16.000Everyone would condemn that, at least on the American right in the mainstream.
00:23:21.000But then you see things like if you were to quote 1 Thessalonians, if you were to quote portions of the gospel that discuss the passion and the crucifixion of Jesus, that would be deemed anti-Semitic.
00:23:40.000I want to make sure that, no, sorry to interrupt, to repeat that, this was put forward by Mike Johnson and many people saying that, you know, again, I have no tolerance for Jew hatred.
00:24:13.000By the letter of this law, which has passed the House, which I hope now that there's a little attention on it, every even semi-reasonable Republican senator will shoot this down out of hand.
00:24:23.000I mean, for goodness sakes, Jerry Nadler, a liberal Democrat, Jewish also, came out and he said, this law is obviously unconstitutional and it's going to go nowhere.
00:24:33.000By the letter of this law, if a campus Bible study is reading the Gospel of St. John or 1 Thessalonians or the book of Acts, they could be guilty of violating Title VI.
00:24:51.000Even when we look over to my group, the mackerel snapping Catholics, there are two of the most important masses of the year that deal with the Passion and the crucifixion.
00:25:03.000That would be on Palm Sunday, where we read the Passion narrative of our Lord, and on Good Friday, obviously, which is the crucifixion.
00:25:10.000We're talking about Vatican I. I'm talking about this.
00:25:16.000This is important, though, because Vatican II removed some of the segments during the Passion that would be deemed anti-Semitic under this law.
00:25:24.000I don't think they're anti-Semitic, but that's an important point.
00:25:29.000After the Second Vatican Council, there were these liturgical changes that, and this even started a little bit before the Second Vatican Council, where they changed some of the language about the Good Friday service or some of the language during Holy Week.
00:25:41.000But actually, it's even worse than you're describing because even today, even under the newer liturgy, which is considered more liberal, even today, those liturgies could be banned from campus under the letter of this law, which is, I don't know.
00:25:59.000I mean, you want to talk about painting with a broad brush.
00:26:03.000That seems like something that nobody would support.
00:26:05.000I was reading a great Twitter thread by a Jewish writer yesterday who said, you know, this is supposed to be the anti-anti-Semitism act.
00:26:13.000This is going to increase anti-Semitism.
00:26:15.000You think this is going to help the Jews to ban the Bible or parts of the Bible on college campus to ban certain liturgies?
00:26:26.000And then the cherry on top of this awful legislative Sunday was one of the final provisions or one of the final examples of anti-Semitism, which is comparing the Israeli government to the Nazis.
00:26:39.000Now, I think the Nazi comparisons are so overblown.
00:26:42.000I think they're usually stupid and they show that people don't have any other historical reference other than the Second World War.
00:27:05.000And so what it comes down to is, according to this law, if you criticize the government of the state of Israel, a foreign government, you would be in violation under Title VI.
00:27:18.000Have we ever seen anything like this in the United States?
00:27:23.000Why do you then think that out of nowhere that while the left is destroying itself, a Republican speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, threw this onto the House floor?
00:27:35.000I know so many Jews that are upset with this.
00:27:37.000In fact, we have this amazing Jewish friend from Chicago who just messaged me saying, we didn't ask for this.
00:27:48.000I was just texting with Mark Levin and others, and Ben Shapiro has publicly come out against this.
00:27:55.000And yet, the Republicans in Congress, were they afraid of voting no against a bill that was anti-Semitism?
00:28:02.000Help me break this down, Michael, because I'll repeat it for those that are just tuning in.
00:28:07.000Jew hatred, no place in decent society.
00:28:10.000However, you're allowed to say things that are indecent.
00:28:14.000So especially we're talking about penalties now where you can go after students on campuses.
00:28:20.000I'm trying to understand and grapple why with all the pressing problems in our country, Republicans especially feel the need to go obliterate the First Amendment.
00:32:14.000So, Michael Knowles, I could read from 1 Thessalonians 2, 14 through 16.
00:32:18.000For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God's churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus.
00:32:22.000You suffered from your own people the same thing those churches suffered from the Jews who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets that drove us out.
00:32:29.000They displease God and are hostile to everyone in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles that they may be saved.
00:32:34.000In this way, they also heap their sins to the limit.
00:32:36.000The wrath of God has come upon them at last.
00:33:36.000They give it to this outside group to come up with whatever definition it wants, which I suppose means that if the group changes the definition at some point, then I don't know, then the prohibition changes.
00:33:48.000Meaning this outside group now has some power to alter in perpetuity American law.
00:33:54.000And so then I went to the outside group and I read the definition, and it was no definition at all.
00:34:00.000It was just a bunch of gobbledygook that was totally circular that said that the word means whatever we want it to mean.
00:34:05.000And so then you have to go even further down the page to read these examples.
00:34:08.000And the first example or two, you say, oh, okay, well, that makes sense.
00:34:12.000But then you have to get down to the 10th and 11th example.
00:34:14.000And you say, hold on, you're banning 1 Thessalonians.
00:34:18.000You're banning the Gospel of St. John.
00:34:20.000You're banning the traditional understanding of the faith that's persisted for 2,000 years.
00:34:26.000To your point, Charlie, obviously these verses have to be understood within context.
00:34:30.000And it's theologically important to remember that it is the Roman state that executes Jesus.
00:34:37.000And the reason it's theologically important is because our Lord was not just murdered by a robber on the street or something.
00:34:46.000He was a sacrifice by the civil authority, which in this case, we're talking about the Roman Empire, has the right to rule, practically speaking, the whole world.
00:34:55.000This is the fullness of time in which our Lord is born under the reign of Caesar Augustus, the prince of peace, the prince of terrestrial peace.
00:35:02.000He's the prince of true peace and eternal peace.
00:35:05.000Theologically, this matters because our Lord redeems not only salvation history, he redeems secular history true, the whole world.
00:35:17.000And also, as we see in the Gospel of St. John, in the Passion narrative In 1 Thessalonians and in the book of Acts and elsewhere, also, it is the Jewish high priests who hand our Lord over to the Romans and who demand that he be executed.
00:35:33.000Obviously, I'm all for reading scripture.
00:35:35.000And I think the more we delve into the faith, the more beautiful it even appears to us.
00:35:40.000So now we've got ostensibly Christians in the Congress who are saying, no, we have to censor parts of the Bible, censor parts of the liturgy and the Mass.
00:36:02.000We read it liturgically, but I have to admit, I played a Bible trivia game, name the verse, name the character with a Protestant friend of mine.
00:36:11.000And you Protestants, you know, you crack the spine of it quite a fair bit.
00:36:19.000I say in all humility, it's just a couple times a day.
00:36:31.000You know, it's going to be a brutal issue this election year, and everyone's talking about, are we going to remain really, really pro-life?
00:36:36.000Are we going to squish and embrace baby killing or something?
00:36:39.000They're only thinking about it on one axis.
00:36:42.000You can have another axis, and that is, do you talk about it a lot?
00:36:48.000Inflation, immigration, the wars, these are issues that are very, very important to people.
00:36:53.000Biden is deeply underwater on all of them.
00:36:56.000He wants to make the election about abortion, putting Republicans in a tough position.
00:37:00.000We need to maintain our principles and defend life because it's the moral thing to do.
00:37:03.000In the long run, I think it's the politically right thing to do.
00:37:06.000And we need to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves, to quote scripture, and recognize that in prudence, we can not talk about the issue all the time.
00:37:15.000We can articulate our views and then focus the fight on Biden, where he's weak, where people are really focused all the way to November.
00:37:23.000Matthew 10, 16, I think it's still legal to use that Bible verse.
