00:00:29.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:19.000You talk with any mental health professional, and you talk about people falling off the wagon when it comes to alcoholism or some other vice.
00:02:26.000This happens when they lose their touchstones, when they lose the things in their life that they can count on for normalcy.
00:02:33.000And so church, religion, faith, family, friends, meeting up people at bar, meeting up people on the golf course, going to the event and cheering for the bulls, cheering for the cubbies.
00:02:46.000Those are things that actually, it's amazing because it seems so superfluous, but that is the glue that binds a society together.
00:02:52.000But the central planners intentionally took that away from us.
00:02:57.000When else has this happened in American history?
00:03:00.000I mean, it really is an unprecedented thing.
00:03:03.000I said this on an earlier episode of the podcast.
00:03:05.000You guys can email us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:03:08.000Where typically when we make a bad decision as a country, there's a precedent.
00:03:12.000Tax hikes, lowering taxes, monetary policy, invading a country.
00:03:52.000I'm basing this off the writings of Karl Marx, who I familiarized myself with just today in writing a new script about this topic.
00:04:00.000Karl Marx, in writing the Communist Manifesto, lays out very, very easily the playbook for bringing capitalism to socialism as a throughput to communism.
00:05:12.000And I think that's really misunderstood about Marx is he wanted violence.
00:05:17.000He asked for forcible, forcible violence and revolution.
00:05:22.000They wanted to raise the classes to the ground, to ruin them, to torch, to torch, to burn your blocks and your cities and your businesses to the ground.
00:05:32.000The goal was to smash the windows, burn private property, eliminate that entirely, and start new.
00:05:39.000And when you listen to the Ilhan Omars of the world talk about their new reimagining of a world without police, it's Marxism.
00:06:26.000It's called the Church of Identitarian.
00:06:29.000And it has everything to do with putting people into groups by their identity.
00:06:32.000Well, and this is postmodern, postmodernist basic thinking.
00:06:37.000And broken down, I mean, if you can create, the easiest way to destroy a country is to make sure that the tribes within the country kill each other.
00:06:46.000And then you've seen, I mean, you've seen this in places like Rwanda, for instance, and places like Nazi Germany, where you tribalize people.
00:06:56.000And then one group of people steals everything from the other and enforces their will upon them.
00:07:21.000And so when you watch, it makes your skin crawl as a Christian when you watch the government close our church doors and say, we are more powerful than you.
00:07:31.000And Christians do very little to rise up against it.
00:07:34.000In fact, we put our heads down and say, you know, yes, sir.
00:07:39.000And then when you watch churches be lit on fire, now I'm not talking about the famous church that was lit on fire across from the White House in Mississippi, the church that refuses to close for coronavirus was torched to the ground.
00:08:10.000But what is remarkable is how those of us that believe in God, how few of us are fighting.
00:08:17.000Take a second to think about the private information you have on your computer and mobile devices, your pictures, videos, financial information, work files, personal documents, information that cyber criminals are constantly trying to get their hands on.
00:08:30.000What are you doing to keep that from happening?
00:08:32.000You need protection, and PC Matic is doing it right.
00:08:35.000Instead of only blocking programs on a blacklist of known cyber threats like traditional antivirus software, PC Matic protects your internet, connected devices by blocking any application that isn't on its whitelist of known trusted programs.
00:08:48.000And they're the only antivirus company that does its development, research, and customer support, 100% in the United States.
00:09:39.000Because they post their little black squares preceded by factually inaccurate, baseless information about how they say black men are being gunned down in the streets by our police officers at an alarming rate.
00:10:32.000So now if these woke Christian pastors, woke Christianity, they really cared about black lives, wouldn't they care about the 400,000 black babies that are aborted every single year?
00:10:42.000So you have a million abortions every single year.
00:10:45.000And about 13 to 15% of the population are African Americans.
00:10:50.000Because only half of that are women that are able to have children.
00:10:54.000Half of that is about childbearing age.
00:10:57.000So 4% of the American population accounts for 43% of all the abortions.
00:11:02.000Do you know in New York City, if you see a black woman who's pregnant on a subway, she's more likely going to the abortion clinic than she's going to the delivery room?
00:11:10.000The abortion rate is higher than the birth rate in New York City.
00:11:13.000But the woke Christians, Benny, they tell you we need to stand up for social justice.
00:11:17.000We need to stand up for the fight for the least of these in society, yet they remain silent on black on black crime.
00:11:24.000They remain silent when black fathers have left the home.
00:11:27.000Do you know what 77% of black children in America will not grow up with a father in the home?
00:11:32.000That's according to the Washington Examiner.
00:11:36.000Then we send them to failing public schools where there was an independent study in Baltimore, 13 public schools.
00:11:42.000They could not find a kid that could do math or read at grade level.
00:11:45.000So we send them to Democrat-run cartel schools run by the teacher unions.
00:11:50.000They don't have fathers to come home to.
00:11:53.000And then these woke Christian pastors that mostly pandered, by the way, to sanctimonious social media activists, suburbanites, that have a messianic complex that they can come in and fix the world because they posted a black square on their Instagram, where they don't say a word about the slaughter of the unborn in our abortion clinics.
00:12:10.000They don't mention a syllable about the decimation of black fathers.
00:12:16.000And yet they stand in their pulpits and they condemn people like me because I dare use data and statistics talking about how, no, actually the police are generally a force for good in America.
00:12:26.000Do you know that in New York City, in 1994, right when around Mayor Giuliani became mayor, there was about 2,200 murders a year in New York City.
00:12:35.000That's almost a 9-11 in New York City every single year.
00:13:11.000Yet these woke Christians with their black squares are saying law enforcement are killing people in the streets.
00:13:17.000If you take the multiplier effect of the hundreds of thousands of black and Hispanic individuals that have lives have been saved because of more policing in America, and you take the multiplier effect over a couple generations and the children that they have, you're talking about probably a million people of color that are alive over a 30-year window because of law enforcement.
00:13:35.000And the Christian pastors do nothing to stand up for it.
00:13:38.000In fact, they kowtow and they capitulate to something that is rooted in a lie.
00:13:43.000I wish they were one-tenth as vocal for truth as they are cowardly advancing lies and deception in America.
00:15:12.000Now, I am not equating what's happening today to what Benito Mussolini did, but we're on that way, Benny.
00:15:18.000We are on the way of collectivized anarcho-tyranny, where we have despotic rule, where people that pay penance to the group humiliation religion will be saved.
00:15:33.000I never understood up until now how that's possible.
00:15:37.000Because far too often, Christians, and Christian leaders in particular, Benny, they're far too happy and content to be complicit and to be compliant and to be agreeable, not disagreeable.
00:15:50.000The church is built to be a disagreeable entity.
00:15:53.000You know, these pastors, they say, well, I don't want to offend anybody.
00:16:00.000I mean, isn't the whole idea of telling people, these are the same pastors, by the way, that will go up and say, you're going to hell if you don't believe this.
00:16:06.000Like, that's a pretty absolute truth, right?
00:16:50.000It seems peculiar because if you look at the early church, while it's not as though Christ, Christian, little Christ, right, so should model yourself after Christ.
00:17:05.000If you're going to call yourself a Christian, you should at least try.
00:17:09.000If you go back and look through his life, it's not as though he was actively attempting to run for politics or get overtly political.
00:17:16.000He was perfectly happy to own you, like wreck your world.
00:17:23.000If you come at him and you are a member of the political class, a Pharisee, which is seen as a pseudo-religious, like a religious leader, but also a politician.
00:17:37.000If you were part of that and you were coming at him and you were coming at him using God or using your position in the church, but then advocating for something that's antithetical to God's teaching.
00:19:37.000It ends up in a prison, like really quickly.
00:19:40.000Paul gives this amazing, unbelievable sermon, if you will, literally in the shadows of the Acropolis, Acropolis, Acropolis, on the hill in Athens.
00:19:58.000Of course, they throw him in prison shortly after.
00:20:00.000But it's interesting because the persecutions of Christians went up.
00:20:05.000And Christianity almost operated as this kind of subterranean religion for a couple hundred years where it was almost in the crypts.
00:20:14.000It was this, oh my gosh, we can't get our heads out.
00:20:17.000When there were the five great Roman emperors ending in Marcus Aurelius, almost every single one of them participated in the persecution of Christians.
00:20:25.000He's like, come on, these guys aren't that bad.
00:20:28.000And it wasn't until the creation of the Eastern Roman Empire, wasn't until King Constantine came to this unbelievable revelation that Christ is king, took Christianity to go from a subterranean religion to a dominant religion.
00:20:49.000As soon as it became the self-endorsed religion of the Eastern Roman Empire and they tore down the Temple of Venus in Jerusalem and they built up the church, the Holy Sepulchre, which still is to this day in the old city of Jerusalem, after about 100 years, 200 years, Christians got more worried about protecting their political status than actually advancing the kingdom.
00:21:09.000The boldness of the early church disappeared.
00:21:12.000And isn't that kind of what you're seeing today?
00:21:15.000You're seeing this today, particularly in something that I find just so fundamentally hateful about the very basics of Christianity.
00:21:29.000And I just find this so I find this so offensive.
00:21:34.000There are things in Christianity where there are places in Christianity, at least in the way that I look at it, again, stating once again for the record, very, very room temperature IQ individual right here talking.
00:21:45.000I'm no philosopher and I'm no scholar.
00:23:09.000The way God made this type of person is incorrect.
00:23:17.000I can't think of a thing that's more offensive on level than to look a creator in the face, if you do believe in God, than to look him in the face and say, you messed this all up.
00:25:26.000God will crush you and scatter you, and you will go back to chaos and confusion.
00:25:30.000So what you have now is social planning utopians, utopian-driven people that are trying to create their own fullness and totality of the planet.
00:25:42.000And so they don't like the way God made people that are white.
00:25:47.000The left doesn't, because they don't like God.
00:27:25.000We know this in the conversion of Paul.
00:27:28.000The conversion of Paul is like the greatest story we have in the Bible of where your past does not have to be your destiny.
00:27:37.000That Paul, a Roman Jew, who was literally a Gestapo enforcer, who oversaw the execution of Stephen, was like, how about you throw a couple more stones on him?
00:27:49.000Encounters Jesus Christ, total conversion, and goes on a ministry that changes Christianity forever and writes basically the entire New Testament.
00:28:19.000So the Christian ethic that built Western civilization, that wasn't even fully fulfilled because we had to fight a war over it and we had to have amendments.
00:28:25.000But the idea, the preamble of the Constitution, never changed.
00:30:34.000My bloodline on my father's side from Austin, Minnesota, were community organizers for the Republican Party in the 1920s to ensure the women's right to vote and to allow black representation to increase.
00:30:47.000My party, my family in Chicago, in defiance to Richard Daly and John Fitzgerald Kennedy's wishes, were organizing against the union to try to pass the Civil Rights Act.
00:31:00.000So if you're going to judge me by my bloodline, despite what my family has done, I got to prove myself.
00:31:08.000So you can't hold it against me, nor can you be held up based on the sins or the merits or the moral work of who people preceded you because you're your own individual.
00:31:18.000You're not connected to whomever is before you.
00:31:54.000But the second group, oh, they want tribalism because tribes are the easiest to control.
00:32:03.000In fact, if you wanted total and complete control, if you wanted to make yourself God, if you wanted to make yourself an altar, if you wanted to be a demigod, you wouldn't want a bunch of free-thinking individuals that own property.
00:32:56.000Your confined intellectual capacity and your philosopher king type roundtable is going to save us from what exactly?
00:33:06.000We need to be saved from you if you think that way.
00:33:09.000Because we have countless experiments in the 20th century of people like you that quickly turns into 100 million people dead as a bloodbath.
00:33:17.000It became crystal clear to me, resident of D.C., much to your hatred.
00:33:28.000The kingdom of D.C. The Kingdom of D.C. became evidently clear that this is an abjectly bankrupt movement that has nothing at its heart other than vile hatred of America and Marxism.
00:33:43.000And when I woke up in the morning and found a group that call themselves anti-fascists, call themselves Antifa on face, call themselves anti-fascists.
00:34:09.000If you are anti-fascist, then I think we can, at the very least, agree that the worst fascist regime was Hitler's Nazi Germany, Third Reich, and the most effective murder machine in the last hundred years.
00:34:30.000And so just desecrating the memorial to the men and women who fought true fascism in its most vile form, there's absolutely no sense in it and nothing but moral bankruptcy.
00:34:52.000Then you look down the mall and you see the Lincoln Memorial, also desecrated, defaced by this movement.
00:34:57.000This movement calls themselves anti-racist.
00:35:00.000Yet they are desecrating the Lincoln Memorial.
00:35:02.000Obviously, we're all, we're Americans, we're aware of what Abraham Lincoln did, what the Union Army did, what your family did fighting for the Lincoln Army, fighting for the Union Army.
00:35:17.000And so if you're going to desecrate the memorial to the generation that fought fascism in its worst form in the last hundred years and the memorial to the man who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, who is a Republican.
00:35:32.000And you're going to call yourself, you're going to call yourself an anti-fascist.
00:36:34.000Why hasn't the Republican Party branded itself as the Party of Freedom, the Party of Equality?
00:36:42.000Can you talk me through, talk me through the history, the proud history that conservatives and Republicans should all own and be excited about?
00:36:53.000And tell me once and for all, like, why are these leftist lies being told about the history of our party and our movement as Republicans?
00:37:07.000The Republican Party was founded as an anti-slavery party in Ripon, Wisconsin.
00:37:13.000It was advocated for people like Thaddeus Stevens and eventually embraced by slave abolitionist Abraham Lincoln, who never actually even saw his vision come to pass.
00:37:22.000The Republican Party has always been about the liberation and the flourishing of every individual made in the image of God.
00:37:29.000Remember, the negatives of America are universal.
00:39:26.000The Democrats have always been focused on skin color.
00:39:29.000The Democrats were the ones that said segregation today, segregation tomorrow.
00:39:32.000The Republicans were the one that called in the National Guard and called in using the 1807 Insurrection Act signed that was under debate now by Tom Cotton.
00:39:42.000Dwight D. Eisenhower used the Insurrection Act to use federal troops to quell racist rebellions against white people.
00:39:49.000How about the National Rifle Association?
00:39:50.000Those of us that argue for gun ownership, the National Rifle Association is the longest, lasting, and strongest civil rights organization in the history of the country.
00:40:46.000Through the 30s and the 40s, it was Democrats who did not want blacks to even serve in the United States military.
00:40:53.000And it was Republicans that pushed for the total and full integration and desegregation of our armed forces.
00:40:58.000It was Dwight D. Eisenhower, who served from president, served president from 1952 to 1960, that fought tooth and nail against bitter Southern Democrats.
00:41:09.000Now, people say, well, don't you understand the party switched then?
00:41:13.000If the party switched, why is it that only one Democrat senator and one Democrat congressman switched parties from Democrat to Republican?
00:42:07.000He said, every citizen of New York matters to me.
00:42:09.000That's why he was elected as a Republican of New York City.
00:42:13.000But we as Republicans did not take black America and the crisis in black America because of the Great Society Program, which is not systemic racism, by the way.
00:42:23.000It was not systemic racism for the reason why black America was suffering.
00:42:26.000Instead, it was Democrat exploitation for political advantage, is what it was.
00:42:30.000It was the Democrats saying, how can we create a set of policies that will destroy their ambition, destroy their imagination, take the fathers out of the home, and turn it into Democrat-controlled precincts?
00:42:43.000And they accomplished their goal completely and totally.
00:42:46.000Here's what the Republican Party needs to reassume the mantle as the party of American liberation because it's our party, Benny, that freed the slaves, not the Democrats.
00:42:56.000It's our party that Abraham Lincoln said, I am the first Republican president.
00:43:01.000It was our party that elected Dwight D. Eisenhower, who stood against bitter Southern segregationists.
00:43:06.000It was our party that tore down the Berlin Wall to free human beings.
00:43:10.000Republican Party, freedom of human beings.
00:43:12.000Democrat Party, bondage of human beings, literal bondage of human beings, and they used to own slaves.
00:43:18.000The Democrat Party thinks they own black people because they used to.
00:43:22.000Here's where the Republican Party needs to really get serious.
00:43:25.000Assume an agenda that is intellectually harmonic to why the party was founded in Wisconsin in the 1860s.
00:43:36.000School choice for black kids, restoring fathers back in the home.
00:43:40.000We are going to have strong, vibrant communities again where every human being can succeed.
00:43:46.000And we will fight the Democrat Party collective ideology at every single turn.
00:43:53.000The Republican Party is the party of American liberation.
00:43:58.000Instead, I hear stuff about corporate tax cuts.
00:44:01.000I hear stuff about fighting foreign wars that don't represent the interests of the middle class.
00:44:07.000If you ask any honest individual that cares about the betterment of our country, they're begging Republicans to do this, Benny.
00:44:14.000They're saying, please, will you talk about how you're going to improve working people's lives again?
00:44:19.000This is why Donald Trump was so amazing.
00:44:21.000Donald Trump said, wait a second, I'm a Republican.
00:44:26.000Because I actually have always thought for liberation.
00:44:28.000I always guess I was a metropolitan Democrat, but I never really believed a lot of the stuff they said.
00:44:31.000But for the plumber, the electrician, the welder, the person that lays tile for a living, for black America, I'm going to communicate to you.
00:44:38.000You know, Donald Trump's the only president, Republican candidate since H.W. Bush, and maybe in the 90s you had Bob Dole do this, maybe, who actually asked the black America to vote for him.
00:44:49.000So for black America that's watching this, I'm not going to say, what do you have to lose?
00:45:10.000Republican Party has lost an opportunity the last 20 years.
00:45:13.000Reassume the mantle, and we can build a movement that will put the Democrats in the perpetual political minority for the next hundred years.

00:46:44.000If you are a Republican and you are listening to this podcast or watching this on YouTube or Facebook or Twitter, and what you just heard is something that should make you proud.
00:46:59.000There is a movement out there that is attempting to shame you, make you wake up in the morning and feel ashamed of how you believe or who you voted for.
00:47:08.000You should be proud of your history as a conservative.
00:47:11.000Should be proud of your history as a Republican.
00:47:14.000And the people who should be apologizing and should feel ashamed are the people who walk into the DNC and work every day.
00:47:20.000Well, it's also an intellectual incongruency.
00:47:23.000Have Democrat behind their last name and run for office.
00:47:26.000They should feel ashamed of their party's history and they should be ashamed.
00:47:30.000And if there's anyone who should be apologizing right now, it should be the Democratic Party for the treatment of black Americans, not anyone now, yesterday, and forever.
00:47:40.000The Democrat Party's history, let's just be honest.
00:47:43.000The Democrats' history of black people has been the worst track record of any governance that I've ever seen in American history.
00:47:54.000That wouldn't be fair because there's obviously international examples worse than that.
00:47:57.000But in American history, you can't point to an example of a group that has been mistreated by a political party more than black America with Democrats.
00:48:04.000It's amazing because in my neighborhood in Washington, D.C., it's a majority black neighborhood.
00:48:10.000And my wife and I have lived there for five years.
00:48:12.000There's all, there's, it's a working class neighborhood, but there's a wide variety of people living in our neighborhood.
00:48:21.000And here's what I hear on a daily basis, a daily basis.
00:48:28.000No one's asking for special treatment.
00:48:29.000They're asking for an opportunity in America.
00:48:32.000Nobody's asking for kneeling or reparations or to be treated like anything other than a human who's my neighbor, who is also living in America with a zip code in America, born as an American.
00:48:47.000What's also amazing is that there are multiple black immigrants in my neighborhood who have come here from various African countries.
00:48:54.000You will never find someone who is more appreciative of their opportunities in this country than someone who is a recent immigrant, especially if they come from extreme poverty.
00:49:59.000And for the black politicians that do advance it, like Sheila Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, it's not unheard of to have leaders that actually don't try to solve the problem if the problem benefits them politically or financially.
00:50:14.000I mean, if black America started to really emerge into the upper middle class, which I know they can, I know a set of policies can get them there, and I actually advocate for them, unlike the bitter white liberal racists that run our country, like Joe Biden, who's a segregationist, sympathizing Chinese agent, anti-American, confused individual.
00:50:40.000When you have Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, you have to ask yourself the question: if they get up into the upper middle class, does that help or hurt Al Sharpton?
00:50:48.000If all of a sudden black America's income goes up to $70,000, $80,000, $90,000 a year, do you think they're going to continue to listen to Maxine Waters or Elon Omar, Alexandria Casio-Cortez's grievance politics?
00:50:59.000Do you think they're going to take that seriously?
00:51:01.000Or do you think they're going to be kind of dismissive of it?
00:51:03.000You think they're going to be like, yeah, actually, my life is pretty good.
00:51:09.000And so people then say, well, Charlie, there are systemic barriers that are preventing black America from succeeding.
00:51:16.000Imposed by Democrat politicians and Democrat city councils and Democrat mayors and Democrat national presidential candidates while the Republicans refused to even engage with these communities.
00:51:27.000So I put fault at Republicans as well.
00:52:08.000I have a radical populist opinion that if you can't read the Constitution of the United States, that your government has not served you.
00:52:17.000I think if you cannot read the preamble by the age of fourth or fifth grade, if you can't read every word and know what it means generally, I know there's some words that are kind of difficult there.
00:52:26.000But if you cannot read the preamble of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the articles in the Constitution, I think the government has failed you as a civil rights issue.
00:52:40.000We know what schools work and what don't work.
00:52:42.000We know the most important thing to impact a kid's future is not funding because inner-city schools have more than enough funding.
00:52:48.000Baltimore schools have been funded even more than suburban schools.
00:52:51.000And there's that ridiculous systemic racism video going around where I debunked.
00:52:55.000My debunking of it has gone viral, millions of views.
00:52:58.000And that whole video is so unbelievably racist because they just assume that the poor person is black and the white person is, you know, the poor person's black and the rich person's white.
00:55:21.000Block grant it to private religious institutions that will then dole it out, and then you could go through that capacity.
00:55:29.000So, Benny, here's how you kind of summarize this: you have black leader Democrats that are misincentivized to actually keep black people perpetually poor.
00:55:39.000And I can't think of anything more evil than that.
00:55:45.000There was a time, this is another Thomas Soule who has absolutely required viewing and reading, especially in this moment in American history.
00:55:55.000There was a time after the Civil Rights Act was passed where the black middle class was growing at a faster pace, a far more blistering pace than the white middle class.
00:56:08.000If I'm remembering my data, once again, sourcing to Thomas Soule, correctly.
00:56:15.000Also, a spectacular quote from him is about how those who wish to keep us racially divided are doing so because they lose all power when there's racial harmony.
00:57:17.000But then you have entire superstructures on the Democrat Party that are the most bitterly racist people that advance it and admit it, like Joe Biden.
00:57:30.000It's quite a time right now to be living in this country.
00:57:34.000How do conservatives reclaim that proud history of being the party of freedom?
00:57:41.000Because the alternative has never been more dire.
00:57:43.000Well, I am a firm believer to put a point on this.
00:57:48.000We'll be making a feature-length documentary about this at Turning Point USA very soon.
00:57:54.000But I'm a firm believer that the real enemy right now in the American streets and the real enemy right now that is torching your business and performing to the letter what their instruction manual has been given to them is Marxist.
00:58:11.000It's postmodernist, but yeah, it's the copy and paste of Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto and every communist revolution that has toppled capitalism is being employed right now in our country.
00:58:30.000I do find it also very chillingly ironic that if you go through the Communist Manifesto and you ask, at the very end, they ask, what does a communist society look like?
00:58:43.000What does a perfect communist society look like?
00:58:44.000Well, you have guaranteed federal job.
00:59:32.000And so if you were to ask where the major, where the major cultural rift is right now, I would argue that far more than white versus black, the actual rub is freedom versus tyranny right now.
00:59:51.000And do you know what most Republicans and conservatives and pundits say when you bring up socialism as their reason why you can't support it?
01:00:03.000Think about the talking point you hear so often.
01:00:49.000Instead, the question should be, or the response should be, your ideas are evil.
01:00:56.000Your ideas have led to a body count of 100 million plus.
01:01:00.000But even if they didn't, let's pretend that there wasn't a cemetery of 100 million human beings.
01:01:04.000That if I listed every name, I'd be here for the next six years to give you an idea of how long it would take of every human being that's died under autocratic collectivism in the last 500 years, because it hasn't just been under Marxism.
01:01:45.000Rights are given to you by God, naturally.
01:01:48.000So if you were alone in the forest, what do you have?
01:01:52.000Your right to consciousness, your right to property, what you create, your right to speech, your right to defend your existence, your right to not have some autocrat come and steal whatever you might have from you.
01:02:07.000In the state of nature, that's the baseline of rights.
01:02:13.000We call them negative rights, actually.
01:02:17.000Not positive rights, because negative rights are we are worried they're going to be taken away from us.
01:02:22.000That's the way we design our government.
01:02:24.000John Locke did the most amazing scholarship on this of any other person.
01:02:27.000He inspired the founding more so than any other person.
01:02:30.000And in the Declaration of Independence, our birth certificate, it says clearly, laws of nature and nature's God.
01:02:37.000When you write King George, you know what they were really saying?
01:02:48.000It was religious colonies of people that read the Bible every single day and that were under some form of self-rule, that understood the scriptures, that understood that there should not be anything higher than God.
01:03:00.000And King George was playing God with the colonies.
01:03:04.000And King George was becoming the oppressive ruler, the Tower of Babel, if you will.
01:03:08.000King George was trying to poke and prod the American colonists.
01:03:11.000And it's because of their belief in a higher power that they were compelled to revolution.
01:03:15.000And even then, only 3% of the American population actually participated in the revolution, and only 30% supported the revolution.
01:03:22.000In fact, 30% of Americans during the revolution were helping the Brits.
01:04:19.000You have a right to be able to not have the government get in the way of what you see most important and most fit in your life.
01:04:28.000And the lack of people being able to articulate this and understand this has led to our road to tyranny or road to serfdom.
01:04:38.000So you have Republicans that say, well, how are you going to pay for it?
01:04:40.000You're basically admitting that you got nothing except, or the other talking point, which is equally as bad, is, oh, it's not as good as you think it is.
01:04:51.000It's actually a pretty bad idea because the health care is going to suck.
01:04:55.000No, even if it was great, I don't want it.
01:04:58.000Even if the health care worked, you're going to lose the utilitarian argument too, because they will publish study after study through their mass propaganda machine to convince people it's a good idea.
01:05:10.000But where they'll never be able to convince anyone is: should government do that?
01:05:16.000That's where the terrain must be fought on this.
01:05:18.000And Republicans have refused to do that for far too long.
01:05:23.000What is the call to action for a moment when the mob can storm the gates of the White House?
01:05:35.000The mob can break into a historic church that has been around for 200 years, the church of presidents, and light it ablaze.
01:05:45.000And then you watch the bishop of that church condemn the president for standing outside with a Bible.
01:05:55.000What moment are we in right now in America where it's seen as permissible to burn churches?
01:06:04.000Where was the America of, I believe, earlier in my life, I turned 34 this week, where a burning of anything, a mosque, a synagogue, a church, regardless of the denomination, more mature crime?
01:06:46.000Why were guys like you and I in this extreme minority online who were standing up and saying, Well, I'll tell you right now, and for people watching this, subscribe to my show.
01:06:58.000I have a very important message coming out tomorrow, and the name of the episode is This is Personal.
01:07:05.000I, on the show coming out tomorrow, I raise, I literally push the fire alarm.
01:07:14.000I'm not trying to be too hyperbolic or too, you know me.
01:07:18.000I don't get into this kind of language that often, but if this continues with so few people speaking out, with the cowards running the roost, and with courageous people coming under the assault that we have to come under, we will not have a country in a decade.
01:07:57.000Are you going to be part of that 30% that helped King George?
01:08:00.000Are you going to be part of that 30% that go helped the enemy?
01:08:03.000Are you going to go be Benedict Arnold?
01:08:04.000Because if you are, declare your colors now.
01:08:06.000And we'll fight with our small fighting men and we will die standing and fighting, not in our knees.
01:08:12.000They want to take every single one of us out.
01:08:14.000If there is a button to take out Turning Point and the Charlie Kirk Show and Benny Johnson and Laura Ingram and Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin and every single one of us, if they could push that button, they would do it in an instant.
01:08:32.000And they are trying to move the Overton window, the Overton window, from what is unthinkable to what is acceptable.
01:08:36.000But it also can go the other way, from what is acceptable to unthinkable.
01:08:40.000Where I will tweet something like white privilege is a racist myth rooted in untruth designed to destroy our country.
01:08:47.000Something I've tweeted for five years.
01:08:48.000Now I'm getting calls that people are getting kicked out of school and getting fired from their job for liking and retweeting something I've been tweeting for five years that because one evil police officer and three police officers that did nothing and cowardice is not something that's hard to find, all of a sudden that singular incident is a reason why we have to reconfigure the entire Western society.
01:09:11.000One bad police officer who does something evil and kills a man on the side of the street is a reason to destroy everything that our grandfathers and our forefathers fought for in the streets.
01:09:23.000One bad police officer is the reason why we have to destroy World War II memorials.
01:09:27.000One bad police officer is the reason we have to burn down a 200-year-old church.
01:09:32.000One bad police officer is the reason why we now have to distribute millions of dollars from corporate America to the most radical elements of Black Lives Matter that wants to destroy the Western prescribed nuclear family.
01:09:44.000One bad evil police officer, you're trying to tell me, is now the reason why we have to have NFL players going through multiple apologies for standing with the flag.
01:09:54.000One bad police officer is the reason we're going to basically destroy our country.
01:12:30.000Because we also know that if you radically try to redefine something big and you get it wrong, what you're going to get is far worse than what you were trying to correct.
01:12:40.000And so the story of America through women's suffrage, the civil rights of the 1960s, the civil war, the suffrage of black voters is a gradual pursuit of self-correction, but also the restraint against things that should not have to happen.
01:12:56.000Like actually saying no to really, really bad ideas.
01:13:02.000The left wanted this to happen like 30 years ahead of time.
01:13:05.000Like the left actually wanted their communist revolution to happen in the 80s.
01:13:09.000You know, we've convinced ourselves that in the Cold War, it was a one-sided Cold War, that we were the only ones that were sending agents into the other country.
01:13:18.000And we never had the multi-dimensional maturity to ever think, well, what if the KGB were sending people into our country?
01:13:27.000We were sending spy planes over Moscow.
01:13:29.000We were sending people into Eastern Europe.
01:13:32.000I mean, the agency has said it, and we know people that have done it.
01:13:35.000Did you ever think that maybe the Soviets were sending people into our country?
01:13:39.000Did you ever have the maybe the think, wow, a country of 100 million people that controls most of the Eastern Hemisphere, controls Afghanistan, has an outpost 90 miles from Miami in Cuba, has overthrown Rhodesia and turned it into Zimbabwe.
01:13:55.000Do you ever think that maybe they're also trying to infiltrate us?
01:13:59.000And if that's so, which is a logical presupposition, did they ever leave?
01:14:23.000He was honeymooning there because he got insight into their plan to radically redefine Western society.
01:14:28.000He didn't honeymoon there because of the weather.
01:14:30.000He didn't honeymoon there because they have really good beaches in Stalingrad.
01:14:35.000He definitely didn't honeymoon there because he was overly interested in learning about Russian literature, of which Russian literature stopped being worthwhile as soon as they took over the freaking country and burned all the books.
01:14:49.000Ras Sputin is only as good as like a couple pages of it.
01:14:53.000It's informative, but it's kind of awful.
01:14:56.000No, he went there because he wanted the instruction manual.
01:15:00.000Bernie Sanders' honeymoon there because he wanted to go to boot camp.
01:15:04.000That's why we have videos of Bernie Sanders chilling out, laughing with his best buddies on honeymoon.
01:15:58.000They literally have Confucius Institutes on over 100 U.S. campuses that are funded by the Chinese Communist Party.
01:16:05.000Maybe this will be a moment when America realizes that the Cold War never ended.
01:16:11.000The wall fell, but the cells and the sleeper cells of the agents never disappeared.
01:16:15.000And people say, oh, Charlie, what's your basis for this?
01:16:18.000Go back to KGB testimony of agents that have now come out and they've said that this was done, that the useful idiots of America will be the downfall.
01:16:27.000This has been in declassified agency memos now.
01:17:05.000To push these elements into the streets, and there was a barrier that could protect them, and they could go out and be radical in this name.
01:17:16.000They could co-opt this movement and attempt to co-opt America and attempt to fundamentally tear down our history, our government, our rights, and do it in a way that Marx would have been proud of.
01:17:30.000So I'm going to continue with the bad news, and I'm going to tell you some good news.
01:17:33.000Bad news is conservatives aren't even getting close to fighting right now.
01:18:08.000When that is gone, in all military-type technology booklets, if you read military strategy, of which I do, art of war, when the greatest asset of the enemy gets removed from the equation, that's when you attack.
01:18:19.000It could be because of a hurricane, a storm, supply chain disruption, whatever it is, that's when you go for the jugular, right there.
01:19:21.000We moved the embassy and we had them so scattered and we had them so distracted for three and a half years that the left could not focus on a singular issue.
01:19:31.000That they didn't have us literally locked down in the homes and ready for revolution.
01:19:34.000Instead, they were like, my gosh, the Iranian thing is totally screwed up.
01:23:11.000So you have the chairwoman. of the Minneapolis City Council, and she is going on CNN and being asked by Allison Camerada a very rational and completely justified question, which is what happens when a criminal breaks into my home and I, a woman, am worried inside of my house?
01:23:36.000And the person who is pushing this, the woman who is now the face of the defund the police movement, looks into the camera and says very directly, you're privileged for not wanting to have your children raped, killed, for yourself to be murdered horrifically.
01:24:02.000If a monster broke into your house who is ready to do unspeakable evil to you and your family, you need to check your privilege and you sit back and let that monster do that thing.
01:25:26.000He thought it turned public opinion against socialist communist aims and goals and objectives.
01:25:31.000Instead, Solinsky said a true radical slicks back his hair, wears a three-piece suit, goes to work every single day, never revealing who he really is, but methodically and assuredly goes towards his accomplished goal.
01:25:48.000That a true radical for him is one that's disciplined.
01:25:51.000A radical for him is like Barack Obama, ultimate Alinskyite.
01:25:55.000Barack Obama is the absolute embodiment of Solinsky.
01:26:03.000Bernie Sanders says the most outrageous things.
01:26:05.000Saul Linsky also talked about in order for a radical to be successful, you have to embrace the symbology of the country you're trying to take over.
01:27:22.000If they get wise and they actually end up truly embracing the symbology of America, we have a real problem.
01:27:28.000The problem for them, not a problem for us, is they have such anti-American leaders that just foment rage against our country like Elon Omar.
01:27:36.000I don't know how that pivot is going to happen.
01:27:39.000Like, Elon Omar says nothing but awful things about America.
01:27:44.000Like, she might as well be someone that has been transplanted and put into the U.S. Congress and be like, can you just tell us what it, like, if you were not an American congresswoman and you were like, I don't know, working for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, what would you say?
01:28:33.000When he was talking about the baseline of the country is actually most compatible with him, that the history is actually harmonic with his ridiculously radical ideas.
01:28:44.000Instead, the AOC and the Iana Presley's, they can't, they have no discipline.
01:28:48.000And there's like the history of our country is incompatible with our ideas.
01:28:55.000Why would I want to vote for you, man?
01:28:57.000And that's why the communists took power so quickly in Russia and in all these other countries, in Russia and in Italy.
01:29:05.000That was more fascist, but in India for a short period of time, in Southeast Asia, Cambodia, and Laos and in Korea, because they convinced the people that they were the true instruments of the history of the country they were trying to take over.
01:29:50.000Ozark is a great modern depiction of the issues with suburbia, the issues of a kind of emaciated male.
01:30:00.000I don't mean that physically, but I just mean that kind of what happens when a man tries to find his place by doing things that are borderline ethical.
01:30:23.000So to answer your question, other than the required viewing of Tucker Carlson tonight in our household, an absolutely required viewing, specifically right now, he's just hitting his stride.
01:30:41.000And one of the last honest and courageous news anchors out there.
01:32:21.000So think about what is actually funny.
01:32:24.000Things that you have seen or encountered in the real world that resonate with you, that are portrayed in a way that deeply harmonize with personal health experience.
01:32:35.000For example, Michael Scott in the office, where he says, my favorite quote from Abraham Lincoln is: if you are a racist, I will attack you with the North.
01:32:48.000And that is the motto that I bring into the office every single day.
01:32:53.000And so it's such an outrageous thing, right?
01:32:56.000It's rooted in the truth of this guy obviously is misapplying a quote, but we all know somebody like that.
01:33:06.000Seinfeld, the greatest example of deeply held truth is why Seinfeld succeeded, the greatest television show in American history.
01:33:12.000Show about nothing, but it's a show about touched everything.
01:33:14.000Show about labeling salsa versus seltzer.
01:33:21.000A show of Elaine trying to find her place as a single woman in New York City and George, who plays the jester archetype and the perpetual doomed to failure archetype better than anyone in television that I could possibly imagine.
01:34:34.000This is why after Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globe skewed Hollywood in one of the most legendary comedic routines ever heard, that they got rid of the host of the Oscars.
01:34:45.000They just said, we're not going to have a host.
01:34:47.000They couldn't take the fact that one man got up there and said what all of the rest of America was thinking.
01:34:55.000And this hurt their feelings so badly to be called friends of Jeffrey Epstein and to be told that their opinions don't matter.
01:35:03.000This hurt their feelings so badly, the leftists of Hollywood, that they banned hosts.
01:35:06.000Well, and so the left also, and more so than the right, is they have no capacity for self-deprecation.
01:35:16.000That's why Dave Chappelle making semi-true statements about his upbringing resonate terrific.
01:35:22.000That's why Jerry Seinfeld humorized the experience of living on the Upper East Side or the Upper West Side as a single Jewish man in New York City.
01:35:32.000And he gave levity to it because it was self-deprecating.
01:36:34.000And so, but comedy is one of the things that we as human beings have used as a unifying concept to allow us to move on from some of the most unspeakable horrors.
01:38:45.000Other reasons why the Greeks were able to have this breakthrough intellectually when they did post-Peloponnesian War and the Greek Civil War that preceded it.
01:39:39.000See, Jesse Smollett made up an entire fabrication.
01:39:43.000Two MAGA hat-wearing people in negative 10-degree weather come with a thin rope to try to lynch him while he's going to Subway and says something awful to him and then screams, this is MAGA country and storms off.
01:39:54.000What did Jesse Smollett want out of that?
01:39:58.000Jesse Smollett wanted a race conflict in America.
01:40:05.000He wanted to be the martyr that could speak on cable television against how the Trump movement was creating racist lynchings in the streets of Chicago.
01:41:16.000I've never seen anyone wear a MAGA hat in my life in downtown Chicago, let alone at 2 o'clock in the morning when a guy's going in negative 10-degree weather to get Subway.
01:41:25.000By the way, why don't you just use Uber Eats or Postmates?
01:41:29.000You're literally worth millions of dollars, and you're going to go retrieve the Subway at negative 10-degree weather.
01:41:35.000And with anyone with your net worth, if you're going to eat Subway, I guess there's nothing necessarily wrong with that.
01:43:09.000We shut down American society and brought our stock market down 40% from record near 30,000 to 18,000.
01:43:16.00041 million people out of work, celebrated by Democrats.
01:43:19.000We created $6 trillion out of thin air.
01:43:22.000We passed the largest couple spending bills in the history of modern society.
01:43:28.000Oh, and by the way, now we're marching in the streets deciding to disband our police and calling Trump the worst person ever because he had nothing to do with the singular awful killing of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis.
01:43:39.000Don't forget spying on a presidential campaign.
01:43:42.000I don't know if that happened this year, but we're still revealing it.
01:44:43.000What two people do you want to see in a boxing match?
01:44:45.000I know this is going to be cheap, but I would really love to see Donald Trump and Joseph Biden box.
01:44:50.000Because Joe Biden talks really big game.
01:44:52.000He's always saying he's going to take him out back.
01:44:55.000I would take him out back and I'd box his ears.
01:44:58.000I think Trump, I think he's got like a fuse that if you put him in a ring like that, I think that there would be a medic call to really push.
01:45:05.000And it wouldn't be for Donald J. Trump.
01:45:55.000I mean, the Boston Tea Party was an act of military, pseudo-military aggression and classifying King George and what was then the English Empire as an enemy of the state.
01:46:11.000So if these arsonists and individuals are now saying that they're doing this because the United States government is an enemy of the state, okay, I didn't catch that memo.
01:46:21.000If that's the case, then you absolutely are domestic terrorists and you'll all be arrested.
01:46:25.000And first of all, secondly, the American Revolution was a righteous rebellion using every instrument that they knew possible, dumping tea into the Boston Tea Party, Lexington Concord in 74, the signing of the Declaration in 76, absolute dissolving of ties.
01:46:40.000If that's what Antifa or the Black Lives Matter believes, then go sign the Declaration and put your names on it like our founders did.
01:46:48.000Because if you're deciding that all of a sudden you want to create a civil war, which is what the implication of the question is, by the way, when Andrew Cuomo says, well, this is how change sometimes happens.
01:47:12.000Malcolm X was on the extreme of the violent retaliation continuum, who said you return a fist with a fist and you return eye for an eye.
01:47:19.000Malcolm X was very much the inspiration of the Black Power movement and the Black Panther movement.
01:47:23.000Martin Luther King had a completely different philosophy of disobedience, but neither said for a second that they're going to have an official petition to try to dissolve ties with the United States government.
01:47:33.000If that's the case of the Democrat Party, if that's the, like, okay, you go sign your declaration and make sure that you sign your John Hancock really big, because then you're basically going to give license to the Department of Justice to go arrest you.
01:47:45.000They won't because they're cowards, but maybe that's what they believe.
01:47:48.000It'd be nice to just get a document that stated what they believe.
01:48:50.000I'd love to all live in peace and harmony and be able to march for a better world tomorrow.
01:48:58.000But under what alleged future are you saying that the left will somehow cease to exist?
01:49:06.000And so I'm not arguing for perpetual conflict or whatever you want to call that we're in right now because I don't even know what we're divided over because we all agree that George Floyd was awful.
01:49:16.000I guess we're divided over whether the country should be destroyed or not.
01:49:19.000I guess we're divided over whether we should burn down our cities.
01:49:32.000I mean, if the division is whether or not we should destroy Americans in our cities, if the division is whether or not we should abolish police, okay, I'll agree with you.
01:50:13.000And I don't mean pathological in a bad sense in this way.
01:50:15.000I just mean the pathos versus the ethos and the logos.
01:50:18.000And then they immediately pivoted all that emotion into something that is tangential, but totally separate, which is America's a racist country and cops are awful.
01:50:27.000And people are like, oh, yeah, of course, because the George Floyd video is awful.
01:51:23.000We'll be unified if the left ceases to be pathologically committed to the destruction of America.
01:51:30.000So as long as they are in the country arguing at the levels that they're arguing and doing what they're doing, of which there's no evidence to show they're slowing down, I don't see a kumbaya America in my lifetime.
01:54:56.000The hero's journey arc literally starts with innocence, call to action, meet your mentor, build your team, find out the great evil, realize it's really yourself, fight the evil within yourself, slay the dragon, return to innocence.
01:55:18.000And there's this shot, the best shot in all of Star Wars is the Vader's helmet being illuminated by the lightning bolts coming out of the Emperor's hand.
01:55:29.000And he's just looking, and he's looking back and forth, and he's making this moral decision.
01:55:33.000The best argument you could make, and this is the one I would make on your behalf, is that Luke and Darth Vader are actually the same character.
01:55:57.000And Yoda is basically the Gandalf, right?
01:55:59.000He's basically the sage mentor of which has premonitions and is able to see things ahead of time and offer the wisdom down to the hero to be able to instruct him to fight the great evil.
01:56:12.000Also, I mean, this is such an easy question because in the movies that then have now come out, Disney version.
01:56:31.000They were all Lucas' film, weren't they?
01:56:33.000Well, so in the prequels, Yoda, I don't think, becomes better, even though we're seeing Phantom Menace, Clone Wars, and flipping around with the lightsaber.
01:57:23.000I love it because these stories are thousands of years old.
01:57:25.000The hero's journey, the sage mentor, the destruction of the great and total centralized power, which is the Death Star, and that archetypically plays itself out at the end of the New Hope, how evil always comes back.
01:57:48.000In fact, if you want to talk about a series that embodies the great stories that built the West, Star Wars does it almost better than anything else.
01:57:55.000Lord of the Rings probably does it the best.
01:57:57.000Harry Potter is in that category, but Star Wars does it unbelievably well.
01:58:06.000What is America in the Star Wars saga?
01:59:49.000Spying, impeachment, convictions, you name it.
01:59:53.000So I think we're right near the end of episode five.
01:59:56.000Like that first Hoth scene where the Empire just goes nuts.
01:59:59.000That was like the Mueller investigation.
02:00:03.000Where it's like, okay, we're getting run out of this thing.
02:00:07.000Like, how did we go from Death Star to like Empire invading entire Iceland with Luke being like thrown up and evil monster about to destroy him?
02:01:14.000And then you have a moment where the hero rises up, gives a speech, or says something like, nothing could be more important.
02:01:22.000And to summarize it all together, Trump wins.
02:01:25.000Luke Skywalker wins, but at great cost and great price, with unsuspecting allies and things rising up that you could never imagine.
02:01:31.000But again, the same could be said for the Lord of the Rings drama or the Harry Potter drama or any of the great story dramas that we know that are typically in trilogy fashion, if not extended novel fashion, where you have a hero journey.
02:01:43.000And we've talked about this before, but you have the individual that grows up in innocence and goes forth and gets mentored.
02:01:49.000But what we have to recognize and realize, what's the one thing in Lord of the Rings struggle, the Harry Potter struggle, and the Star Wars struggle that all of them recognize that is the greatest threat.
02:02:05.000Our greatest threat is within our country.
02:02:07.000Archetypically, we know that the left, the struggle between the temptation of putting on the ring and saying, yes, I'm going to take the full promises of the left.
02:02:15.000Maybe they can run the country better than us.
02:02:17.000Or destroying that ring and throwing it into the fire.
02:02:20.000Or Harry Potter and confronting the great evil, that scar that you have within you.
02:02:24.000Maybe I should succumb to the temptations of Lord Voldemort.
02:02:34.000Like Harry Potter in volume two, where he literally goes down beneath the castle and slays the dragon, slays the basilisk, which is one of the oldest hero arcs in the history of Western society.
02:02:46.000Where literally, what was the name of the girl he was trying to save?
02:03:16.000And our failure to do that will be the demise of our country.
02:03:18.000But what's so cool is they gave our ancestors gave us these stories for a reason.
02:03:24.000They gave us, it's not an accident these stories keep on repeating.
02:03:27.000It's not an accident that the three most important dramas of our lifetime all have the same story of a young boy that grows up in innocence and goes past that innocence and fights something somewhat quasi-mythical, finds out there's more to the story and realizes the real problem is within.
02:03:43.000Why does that story keep repeating and has popularity like off the charts?
02:03:48.000It's because we know that there's something there that we have to do.
02:03:52.000There's a reason why the left-wing stories don't resonate.
02:03:56.000Harry Potter is going to go become some transgender activist at the local Cambridge Community College and ask for reparations for anyone that grows up beneath the stairs.
02:04:18.000Or is Luke Skywalker going to become some sort of intergalactic community organizer and basically be petitioning for the rights of Tatooine to have no police?
