00:00:00.000Hey everybody, today the Charlie Kirk show.
00:00:01.000How do parents fight back for their child's education?
00:00:04.000Also, a new horrifying domestic terrorism bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security, that and so much more.

00:00:24.000If you want to email me directly, you could do so.
00:01:00.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:44.000They do this every couple months to try to tell you what the big threats are for terrorism.
00:01:48.000As we head into the Super Bowl and we head into the reopening of the country, what threats are there?
00:01:55.000Well, the National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin, February 7th, 2022.
00:02:00.000And it goes through what they believe are the greatest threats to America.
00:02:06.000The key factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment include, quote, widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19.
00:02:22.000Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021.
00:02:29.000What violent extremist attacks thought off the top of your head, without Googling, can you think of that was inspired by somebody talking about Ivermectin?
00:02:40.000Was there the great hydroxychloroquine revolt in Brooklyn?
00:02:44.000I mean, I do remember, well, if the National Terrorism Advisory Board wants to care about public safety, how about the most murderous years on display in the urban cities of our country?
00:02:57.000Albuquerque, New York, Chicago, Milwaukee.
00:03:02.000DHS says that if you talk about voter fraud, you're a threat to the Republic.
00:03:08.000So Dinesh D'Souza, with his new movie coming out 2,000 Mules, you're a threat.
00:03:16.000Now, we predicted this when it came to the Canadian truckers that they were soon going to call them domestic terrorists.
00:03:21.000There's a convoy now being led across the country to go from the West Coast to Washington, D.C.
00:03:28.000The National Terrorism Board goes on to say, quote, or advisory bulletin, as COVID-19 restrictions continue to decrease nationwide, increased access to commercial and government facilities and the rising number of mass gatherings could provide increased opportunities for individuals looking to commit acts of violence to do so often without little or any warning.
00:03:48.000Reopening the country means there will be more terrorists.
00:03:52.000Some violent domestic extremists have continued to advocate for violence in response to false or misleading narratives about unsubstantiated election fraud, really unsubstantiated election fraud.
00:04:03.000Maybe if the Department of Homeland Security was doing their job, they could explain why there were 2,000 ballot mules that we know of, there was probably even more, that went to 25-plus ballot drop boxes in Atlanta, in Phoenix, in Philadelphia, and Milwaukee against ballot harvesting laws.
00:04:23.000Would that not be widespread criminal network, a coordinated campaign?
00:04:30.000No, no, no, according to the government, I am a terrorist for even talking about this.
00:04:35.000The months preceding the upcoming 2022 midterms could provide additional opportunities for these extremists and other individuals to call for violence directed at Democratic institutions, political candidates, party offices, election events, and election workers.
00:04:52.000You understand this is not the Huffington Post.
00:04:57.000Your government that we give power to has issued a system bulletin saying be on the lookout for those people that want to get the vitamin D levels up.
00:05:09.000Those people that talk about early treatments, they might be a domestic terrorist.
00:05:14.000But if we leave the southern border wide open, no big deal.
00:05:31.000I just got this printed in time for us to do this.
00:05:34.000And I'm looking through this, and I don't want it to speak out of turn, but I don't believe there is any mention of our wide open southern border in this domestic Department of Homeland Security bulletin.
00:05:49.000So you have DHS, which technically DHS oversees border patrol.
00:05:53.000They oversee all the facilities on the southern border.
00:05:56.000And what do they say is the biggest threat to your safety?
00:06:00.000Not the 2 million people streaming across the southern border, 2 million people, which is an invasion.
00:06:08.000We're going to get to Attorney General Mark Bernovich's comments on that, which I thought were phenomenal and actually set a really good precedent.
00:06:17.000The threat they say is this: quote, online proliferation for false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud in COVID-19.
00:06:27.000So basically, the Charlie Kirk show, according to the Department of Homeland Security, you can get rid of the widespread, the unsubstantiated part of it, were a bigger threat to the American people than someone that might traffic a dirty bomb across the southern border.
00:06:47.000Continues by going through in great, honestly, in just generalities.
00:06:56.000A small number of threat actors are attempting to use the evacuation and resettlement of Afghan nationals following the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan last year as a means to exacerbate long-standing grievances and justify attacks against immigrants.
00:07:15.000I don't know of one instance of that, but I do know an instance of something that the Department of Homeland Security doesn't mention.
00:07:23.000Afghan refugee brought to the United States by Biden, charged with sexual assault.
00:07:28.000These are starting to pile up, by the way.
00:07:29.000This is like the fourth story I've seen like this of the people we brought to the United States from Afghanistan that are raping our girls.
00:07:38.000Afghan refugee who came in recently to Wausau, Wisconsin, was arrested Monday for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman.
00:07:49.000One media outlet referred to him as a prominent man in his community and a tribal leader in Afghanistan.
00:07:54.000He now only faces a fine up to $10,000 and a maximum of nine months in prison.
00:07:59.000So he'll be re-released into the interior of the United States.
00:08:03.000And weeks ago, an Afghan male was sexually convicted for sexually molesting a three-year-old girl at a U.S. military base.
00:08:11.000A couple months before that, a 19-year-old Afghan male brought to the United States by Biden was arrested in Montana after he allegedly raped an 18-year-old woman in a Missoula hotel.
00:08:20.000Those charges come after another two Afghan men in Fort McCoy in Monroe, Wisconsin, after being prosecuted for separate charges of domestic abuse and child sex crimes.
00:08:29.000And yes, we do say the politically incorrect thing.
00:08:32.000Afghan subculture is more likely to rape Western women.
00:08:48.000And that article is one of the most telling ones.
00:08:50.000I think we actually publicized that article more effectively than anybody else, where we went into great detail this woman who worked as a humanitarian refugee resettlement director.
00:09:00.000And she said, I wanted to believe it wasn't true, but the rape crisis in Europe from the Afghan community in particular was shocking.
00:09:09.000The Department of Homeland Security, though, says that the threat to America, they lead with this, the key factor threat is you.
00:09:18.000What do we do when your government calls you a terrorist?
00:09:24.000Explicitly, outrightly, unabashedly, they say you're a terrorist.
00:09:28.000It would be nice if the Republicans in Congress maybe sent a press release about this.
00:09:36.000Department of Homeland Security is going to be able to use the FISA process, be able to use the national security apparatus to try and choke your ability to speak out, spy on you, surveil you, curtail your freedoms.
00:09:52.000You might, you could fill in the blank.
00:10:26.000The left is waging a war on free speech with the help of big tech and the United States government.
00:10:31.000Thankfully, there are still companies that believe in our Constitution.
00:10:35.000That's why I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.
00:10:40.000They offer broad nationwide coverage because they use the same towers as the major carriers, get the same great service that funding the major carries who donate to leftist causes.
00:10:48.000Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget, and their U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional service.
00:10:55.000I know the CEO of Patriot Mobile, Glenn.
00:10:58.000And Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, and the sanctity of life.
00:11:44.000I mean, I'm just going to reread this line that the greatest threats, I mean, I'm paraphrasing part of this just for simplicity, but you could read it yourself at the Department of Homeland Security website, that the contributing factors to the heightened threat environment is people that push widespread voter fraud claims or talk about COVID-19.
00:12:05.000Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021.
00:12:12.000And this also goes back to MemoGate with Merrick Garland.
00:12:17.000One of the first moves when Kevin McCarthy takes over the House of Representatives as Speaker, and when the House of Representatives flips to Republican hands, which is looking more and more likely, it's not guaranteed.
00:12:29.000One of the things that needs to happen is to impeach Merrick Garland.
00:13:24.000Yet the other side is outright violent.
00:13:27.000You know, they're like, oh, yeah, we were really worried about domestic violent extremists.
00:13:30.000That's what the Department of Homeland Security says.
00:13:32.000Well, really, a former strategist for Bill Clinton, who basically ran his political operation, is calling for a law change to be able to punch unvaccinated people in the face.
00:13:44.000That would be a domestic violent extremist.
00:13:50.000All we should do is pass a law to make you immune from liability if you punch some unvaccinated person right in the face, which I'd really like to do.
00:14:01.000If you ask me when, you know, what's my first reaction to you, if you're not vaccinated and you don't have any medical reason not to be, you're a piece of shit.
00:14:11.000Yeah, that's not going to result in any violence.
00:14:30.000But now it's the unvaccinated punching in the face stupid.
00:14:35.000So if the Department of Homeland Security really wants to pinpoint where the heightened language comes from, do they not talk about Maxine Waters talking about getting in their face?
00:14:44.000And while they're at it, why don't they do a diagnostic report about how Steve Scalise got shot and nearly died as a member of Congress when a Bernie Sanders supporter decided to open fire at a congressional baseball practice?
00:14:54.000Or how about the mass shooter in Ohio that was a big Elizabeth Warren fan that came and just started shooting everybody?
00:15:00.000Or if they really want to talk about domestic violent extremists, why not the Islamist that was an anti-gay guy that went into the pulse nightclub shooting in Florida and started killing gay people?
00:15:14.000No, instead, it's the people that talk about vitamin D levels and ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
00:15:18.000These are the true domestic violent extremists.
00:15:21.000And then you have James Carville going around being like, I want to change a law so I could smack people in the face that are unvaccinated.
00:15:58.000These are the people with the handcuffs that say that the big threats to American way of life, not the 2 million people coming across the southern border, not the fentanyl overdoses, not all that sort of stuff we've gone to.
00:17:33.000He sits on the Turning Point USA Advisory Board.
00:17:36.000Go to mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.
00:17:42.000With us right now is a friend of mine and an education crusader in a good way.
00:17:47.000Rebecca Friedrichs is the author of Standing Up to Goliath: Battling State and National Teacher Unions for the Heart and Soul of Our Kids in Our Country.
00:17:54.000Something we care a lot about on this program and also at TurningPointUSA, tpusa.com.
00:17:59.000Rebecca, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:18:13.000Well, I was a 28-year public school teacher.
00:18:16.000I would still be in the classroom if it wasn't for the corruption of the so-called teacher unions who have destroyed our educational system.
00:18:23.000So a few years ago, I left the classroom after suing the teachers' unions.
00:18:28.000Our case went up to the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:18:48.000The PTA is in the pocket of the unions.
00:18:50.000We need to stop funding them and many other things.
00:18:54.000Well, I just want to thank you for your stand.
00:18:56.000And if my memory serves me correctly, your case, Friedrichs versus the California Education Association, was going to result in a Supreme Court decision, but I believe Scalia passed away.
00:19:14.000And what's really interesting, Charlie, is during our case, the number one question people asked me was: Are you afraid for your life suing the unions?
00:20:46.000Well, the American founders started the most incredible educational system on the planet, which included a classical liberal arts education.
00:20:55.000Our kids were learning the Latin and the Greek.
00:20:58.000They were learning how to deeply think with the Socratic method.
00:21:24.000Well, because they don't want us to be a free republic.
00:21:26.000And our founders told us the only way to keep a free republic is with a well-educated and moral citizenry that can self-govern.
00:21:35.000So these unions have purposely undermined the education and the morals of our children so that they won't be able to self-govern anymore.
00:21:43.000And now you see, you know, people rioting in the streets and all this other mess.
00:21:47.000As far as the new educational movement, thank God, I serve on something called Public School Exit, and our whole job is to help connect teachers and parents with alternatives to the public school system.
00:22:01.000It's time for people to realize that the government was never supposed to be in our schools.
00:22:07.000It's the parents and good teachers that are supposed to work together to educate these kids.
00:22:11.000And the sooner we can learn that and stop relying on government, the sooner our schools are going to improve.
00:23:18.000The unions, you know, they're using all of us.
00:23:21.000They just want to get power and they want to get access to our kids.
00:23:24.000So the faster you realize you have all that it takes to educate your child and we can support you with that, the better off we're all going to be.
00:23:32.000So the teacher unions will say that they are the most important organization on the planet, that they're the ones that are protecting children and education.
00:23:40.000Talk about the actual statistical failure of the public sector teacher unions, the dramatic difference that a union educated union education versus a non-union education can actually present for a child.
00:24:34.000And so these teacher unions are not about supporting the education of our children.
00:24:40.000And the specific stats for today, I don't have the numbers right in the top of my head, but I can tell you vast numbers of our children can't read.
00:25:09.000They bring in things like Common Core and change the curricula constantly instead of allowing teachers to be excellent at what we know what to do.
00:25:17.000So the teacher unions are doing everything to undermine.
00:25:21.000And the difference between an education with the teachers' unions and an education without is you don't get educated well in the teacher union corrupt system.
00:25:31.000If the unions are out, you have a chance to get educated well.
00:25:34.000So the question really is who has sovereignty over our kids?
00:25:37.000And you have an upcoming movie where it says, whose child is it?
00:25:45.000I got my grammar a little screwed up there, but whose children are they?
00:25:49.000And that's the question because you have, we had an article here the other day where a school board member says, I mean, parents have no say over their kids' education.
00:25:58.000The Michigan Democrat Party has said exactly the same explicitly.
00:26:41.000They're not the governments, but the Democrat Party and, and there's some Republicans doing this too now, who have been captured by the unions.
00:26:50.000And the unions and their ideological political pals, all of them think your child belongs to the government.
00:26:59.000They're allowing kids to go by a different gender and not telling the parents, letting kids do all kinds of things behind their parents' back.
00:27:08.000Yet, children can be taken for an abortion from the school and the parent will never know about it.
00:27:13.000There's so much undermining of parents because these unions and their friends think they own the kids.
00:28:18.000But the public education system right now, in certain parts of the country, it is irredeemable.
00:28:23.000Now, we should still run for school boards to influence the kids that are left over of parents that don't know any better, in particular, first-generation parents.
00:29:40.000The money's literally sitting on the table.
00:29:42.000So if you know a teacher or if you are a teacher, the Supreme Court has ruled that those thousands of dollars you're paying the teacher unions, you do not have to pay.
00:30:09.000Look, meat is hard to come by right now, and you might get meat from overseas.
00:30:13.000And look, 85% of grass-fed beef in stores and online is imported.
00:30:17.000Don't pay a premium for low-quality foreign meat.
00:30:19.000So look, when the box of good ranchers comes to our office, it's a feeding frenzy.
00:30:23.000Producer Connor, he gets his elbows out.
00:30:25.000He gets people say, get out of the way, is what Producer Connor says.
00:30:28.000He gets the fresh cuts, 100% American meat, T-bones, New York strips, ribeyes.
00:30:32.000In fact, Producer Connor was doing an Instagram live stream, and he was grilling T-bones, New York strips, and all sorts of different types of things.
00:30:40.000Producer Andrew fed his entire family with good ranchers and it actually mended fences.
00:30:46.000It was people in his family that otherwise would have been very politically divided.
00:32:30.000The Russian Olympic Committee currently leads the medal count with 10 total, while Sweden leads with four gold medals, with five total medals.
00:32:38.000And Team USA is tied for eighth alongside China, Germany, Slovenia, and France.
00:32:42.000Now, a lot of the team stuff is still coming up.
00:32:45.000But the Russian Olympic Committee seems to be doing quite well.
00:32:49.000Now, it is unusual for America to win the Winter Olympic count.
00:32:56.000We won the total medal count back in Vancouver of 2010.
00:33:00.000There's a debate of whether or not it's the gold medals that count or the total medals that count.
00:33:37.000So everyone gets really mad about people being racist right now.
00:33:39.000I want to tell you about one story kind of connected with what Rebecca wrote, kind of the Rebecca Friedrichs thing and also some other stories.
00:34:44.000We know that black and brown indigenous kids learn equally well if they have a space that they'll see themselves in history, their culture, and all that's on it.
00:34:50.000Okay, let me just say something politically incorrect.
00:34:52.000If black-only schools work so well, why are Baltimore schools falling apart?
00:34:56.000If black-only schools work so well, why are Chicago schools a total mess?
00:35:01.000If that's the solution, then why aren't the blackest schools in America doing the best?
00:35:08.000If it's all about just having people that look like you, then so be it.
00:35:13.000And by the way, it goes both ways for media matters out there.
00:35:16.000Why isn't that Maine schools the best?
00:35:18.000Maine is one of the whitest states in the country.
00:35:29.000I guarantee you, if you went to Mcallen Texas, it's 70 80 Hispanics that go to Mcallan Texas high schools some of the worst high schools in the country.
00:35:37.000So maybe it has nothing to do about homogeneity or, if people look the same, it has something to do with the quality education and the morals and the values and the ethics that you're actually trying to implement to the children.
00:35:48.000But Portland is saying hey, you know what we need.
00:35:51.000So we're going to put all the black kids in one school, but don't worry, it's equal.
00:35:54.000It's separate but equal, separate but equal.
00:36:02.000Now, for those of you that know that phrase, YES, Brown Versus THE Board OF Education actually repealed the whole idea of separate but equal.
00:36:09.000But that's where we're headed and they're doing it willingly, which is which is so shockingly.
00:36:13.000And my friend Hugh Hewitt, who I don't agree with on everything, but he's just a decent and good person, he was right.
00:36:18.000He said this is unconstitutional, and he's right, it is unconstitutional, it's illegal and it's immoral.
00:36:28.000Going to school with people that look like you does not make you more likely to succeed.
