00:01:12.000Also, if you're a young woman leader and you want to come to our young women's leadership summit, it's one of the most amazing events that we do.
00:02:23.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:02:31.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:43.000There is so much going on in the news today that we want to cover.
00:02:47.000Over the weekend, a story that kept growing of great importance and significance is this drama with Tucker Carlson and the United States military.
00:03:00.000Now, whether Tucker Carlson realizes it or not, Tucker Carlson is running the Republican Party.
00:03:07.000Tucker Carlson is the most powerful person that is not a leftist in the country, even more so than Donald Trump right now.
00:04:05.000He understands why he believes what he believes, and he understands why he's in this fight at this moment.
00:04:11.000And so Tucker Carlson got in a great deal of controversy for saying nothing wrong.
00:04:17.000And we're going to break this down piece by piece.
00:04:20.000In fact, what he said was deemed so controversial that the United States military, that's right, the United States military that can literally launch a Tomahawk missile to any square inch of land on the planet decided to make this their primary focus over the weekend.
00:04:47.000While China's military becomes more masculine as it's assembled the world's largest navy, our military needs to become, as Joe Biden says, more feminine.
00:04:55.000Whatever feminine means anymore, since men and women no longer exist.
00:04:59.000The bottom line is it's out of control.
00:05:02.000And the Pentagon's going along with this.
00:05:03.000Again, this is a mockery of the U.S. military and its core mission, which is winning wars.
00:05:08.000Now, what is Tucker Carlson really talking about here?
00:05:11.000He's talking about this disturbing trend of critical race theory and wokeism that is finding its way into the greatest military ever assembled in the history of the world.
00:06:18.000It's not around trying to find the ties that bind us together.
00:06:25.000The United States military is about protecting the homeland, winning wars quickly and hopefully decisively.
00:06:35.000So what Tucker Carlson is doing here is he's setting off a siren, a warning sign saying, hey, this is not heading in the right direction.
00:06:46.000Just so we're clear, pregnant women are not even recommended to ride roller coasters or get x-rays.
00:06:54.000Why should they be recommended to serve in the United States military?
00:06:57.000Now, that is not an attack on pregnant women.
00:06:59.000I'm one of the most outspoken pro-life advocates out there.
00:07:02.000In fact, this last weekend, I spoke in Cleveland at a pro-life conference.
00:07:06.000And hello again to everyone listening on 1420 in Cleveland.
00:07:10.000Instead, it's about who should be serving in the United States military.
00:07:14.000And so this idea of critical race theory, wokeism, and social justice ideology is now forefront in the U.S. military.
00:07:23.000So how does the U.S. military respond?
00:07:25.000Well, the fact that they did respond was troubling.
00:07:29.000Usually the United States military will just, if at anything, offer a press release and say, we decide not to comment.
00:07:37.000We're going to continue with our mission.
00:07:38.000Instead, a member of the military, here's Cut 10, U.S. Space Command senior enlisted leader, goes and responds to Tucker Carlson as if this is a social media dispute.
00:07:50.000This guy acts as if this is Tucker Carlson versus Brian Stelter.
00:07:54.000Wearing the United States military uniform, commenting on a domestic talk show host with an informed factual opinion, play tape.
00:08:06.000And so he was talking specifically about pregnant women in the armed forces today and how it makes us less lethal and less fit and less ready.
00:08:15.000Those decisions were made by medical professionals, by commanders, and our civilian leadership that allows for women to have more time with their children, to recuperate, to get fit and ready, to take that time that's necessary that our medical professionals know is needed, which actually makes us a more lethal and ready and fit force.
00:08:36.000So why is it even necessary for him to respond?
00:08:39.000The reason is because Tucker Carlson is a threat to what they are trying to do to the United States military.
00:08:46.000If you were pro-China and if you were trying to encourage the Chinese Communist Party to take over the West, you would be cheering for this social justice warrior ideology to infiltrate the U.S. military.
00:09:02.000And I want to build that out even more.
00:09:06.000Because what's really happening here is no different than an existential military threat to our country within our own United States military.
00:09:18.000A provocative yet true statement is that the United States military, by definition, must have standards.
00:09:26.000And some of those standards are: our mission statement is to win wars, kill people, and break things.
00:09:32.000If you asked some Democrat politicians, what is the mission statement of the United States military?
00:09:38.000They'd say, well, it's to try and diversify its ranks.
00:09:43.000And in response, the Defense Department comes out with a social media response to Tucker Carlson, as if the Department of Defense's social media department must be engaged in trying to one-up a domestic talk show host.
00:10:03.000Tucker Carlson runs the Republican Party.
00:10:05.000The sooner that you admit it, the sooner you realize it, the more this all makes sense.
00:10:10.000Brian Stelter from CNN, Reliable Sources, comes out and says that Tucker Carlson is the new Donald Trump.
00:10:18.000Now, what is Brian Stelter really saying?
00:10:20.000He is telling all of his friends that watch his show on Sunday, which is just basically looking at his viewership numbers, only liberal journalists on Twitter watch his show.
00:10:33.000Tucker Carlson is the existential threat to our country, and we must go after him.
00:10:38.000And let me be very clear: Tucker Carlson is someone they do not know how to deal with.
00:10:44.000He's very clever, extraordinarily wise, and he has the one thing that I find lacking in almost every single public persona, including establishment Republicans.
00:10:56.000He's unafraid to say what is right and what is wrong, and he has been so ahead of his time in diagnosing the true problems that have been plaguing our country.
00:11:07.000The Chinese Communist Party is doing everything they possibly can to take over the West.
00:11:12.000The Chinese Communist Party has the world's largest Navy and military.
00:11:17.000They're building islands in the South China Sea.
00:11:20.000They're trying to infiltrate our country at every cost, Confucius Institutes, paying off professors, hijacking our corporations.
00:11:29.000If our leaders were smart, they would be growing closer to Japan and trying to have a vocal alliance, even more so with Japan, and allowing Japan to build up their military right near the Chinese Communist Party.
00:11:48.000We should double, triple, and quadruple Japan's own ability to increase their civilian military force, a country with a rich tradition and history of having a warrior spirit.
00:12:01.000Instead, the United States military is sending press releases trying to condemn Tucker Carlson.
00:12:09.000The United States military is the greatest military in the history of the world because of its ability to be around a unified objective, the best technology, the best training, and of course, yes, the most funding.
00:12:26.000The United States military sent out a press release and they said, the diversity of our military is one of our greatest strengths.
00:12:35.000Now, while I agree, racial diversity is a strength.
00:12:38.000It's what makes the United States military different than other militaries.
00:12:43.000I don't think segregation of our armed forces was ever moral and ever correct.
00:12:47.000However, is all forms of diversity good for the military?
00:12:51.000Is ideological diversity good for the military?
00:12:56.000The military is one of the few things where you do want unity and conformity over diversity.
00:13:05.000The United States military should be a place where there is no dissension.
00:13:09.000If everyone had their own opinion of when you attack the enemy, you wouldn't have a military.
00:13:15.000You would have millions of armed people doing whatever they want.
00:13:19.000And so while I think what Kirby here is saying, who runs John F. Kirby, is saying, there should be a lot of clarification offered here, much clarification.
00:13:35.000Because if you have a military that focuses on differences and not on what brings us together, then that by definition weakens the strength and the power of the United States military.
00:13:51.000The condemnation of Tucker Carlson continues by saying, to be sure, we will have a lot more work to make our military more inclusive, more respectful of everyone, especially women.
00:14:05.000Why should the military seek to be more inclusive?
00:14:42.000This is an emotionally based argument.
00:14:44.000Now, everything I'm saying here is deemed politically incorrect by the gatekeepers, the social media tech titans, and the cancellation culture people.
00:14:53.000The military is the one thing where we must draw a red line, and we must say we have uncompromising standards, physical standards, standards of belief, uniformity, and conformity, and a unified mission.
00:15:06.000And if all of a sudden the United States military is going to become a social experiment, we will lose before a bullet is ever fired.
00:16:13.000We got an email asking for more clarification on the diversity comment.
00:16:19.000Again, the U.S. military, having diversity of backgrounds and upbringings, racial diversity, is very, very admirable, and it does make the U.S. military strong and different.
00:16:31.000Just spending the last couple days with a U.S. Marine, I grew in respect for the commitment the Marines have for our country and their sacrifice.
00:16:39.000But diversity of mission, ideological diversity, is a very different thing.
00:16:46.000And the U.S. military must have uniformity and not just centralized command, but the lack of any form of ideological diversity in the sense of what is our mission?
00:17:37.000All 1.4 billion of them could give a crouching tiger flying f ⁇ .
00:17:42.000On a national level, we've been having infrastructure week every week since 2009, but we never do anything.
00:17:49.000Half the country is having a never-ending woke competition deciding whether Mr. Potato Head has a and the other half believes we have to stop the lizard people because they're eating babies.
00:18:02.000So what is Bill Maher talking about here?
00:18:04.000The trend of the weakening of the American spirit.
00:18:10.000China is on pace to surpass the United States economically very soon.
00:18:17.000They launched this virus on us that is well known.
00:18:21.000Whether it was intentional or not, we will find out hopefully in the coming months and years as more investigations and more whistleblowers come out.
00:18:29.000The Chinese coronavirus, more and more evidence is coming forward that it was a biological weapon developed in the laboratory of Wuhan.
00:18:40.000But the virus that we must be vigilant about is wokeism.
00:18:47.000The woke virus is infiltrating every single level of our culture.
00:18:53.000And what's so stunning to me is how this has no consistency whatsoever.
00:19:00.000And so, for example, the woke industrial complex says that we must remove Dr. Seuss because it is offensive to children.
00:19:10.000The woke industrial complex says that we must remove Gone with the Wind because it's offensive and it's racist.
00:19:20.000However, the woke industrial complex is perfectly fine with Cardi B, who's not a very smart person at all, doing one of the most graphic performances that I think you're allowed to put on network television.
00:19:36.000But the point is that the dominant Power structure in our country.
00:19:43.000They use as an excuse to try and censor other content because they say it's too offensive.
00:20:10.000Cardi B and Megan the stallion served up a very sex-positive performance.
00:20:18.000And again, I will spare you from the imagery or from the video of it.
00:20:22.000In fact, if I probably showed this on my YouTube channel, I think that we'd be taken down by YouTube and the masters of Menlo Park for sensitive material.
00:20:33.000Now, mind you, Tucker Carlson saying that our military might become weak deserves a response from our U.S. military.
00:20:40.000Cardi B and Megan V stallion doing something that looks like an X-rated film, and that's not even my own description of it.
00:20:50.000The New York Post says, quote, Cardi B's 2021 Grammys performance gets X-rated with stripper pole dancing.
00:20:58.000That is the role model that millions of young women saw last evening at the Grammys.
00:21:08.000That's a reflection of the direction of our country.
00:21:12.000It is parallel of where the country is going.
00:21:15.000And so I think if we are honest about the contradiction of the censorship campaign that's happening, you will see that there is not just no consistency, there's inherent contradiction in how they go about this.
00:21:41.000So some people call it cancel culture.
00:21:45.000I call it the woke industrial complex.
00:21:47.000It's taking over every single institution in our country.
00:21:49.000And the people that dare call it out are then circled and they are targeted for potential cancellation.
00:21:59.000And Tucker is in a lot of different ways uncancelable.
00:22:03.000He's far too clever for Brian Stelter and for all those people to go after.
00:22:10.000What's really going on here is you have people that want to see the moral degradation of our society continue.
00:22:18.000So Cardi B is praised for that X-rated performance.
00:22:22.000Meanwhile, any sort of defense of traditional American history and culture is removed as being offensive.
00:22:29.000So what is offensive to the left or offensive to the secular gatekeepers or the gatekeepers of our society and our culture, the people that control what your children consume, is indulge your worst impulses, but no matter what, do not get loyally married to somebody and have children.
00:22:52.000And that is one of the main reasons why they're trying to remove every piece of literature and film that came before them.
00:22:59.000This is the postmodernist disease that has infected every single institution in our country.
00:23:04.000And we must not just stand back, stand up against it.
00:23:07.000We must clearly call it out courageously, as Tucker Carlson has done, for what it actually is.
00:23:13.000And right now, Xi Jinping, and what are they, 18 hours ahead of us, he's probably drinking a bottle of champagne right now, laughing and chuckling.
00:23:23.000Because what the United States military has admitted, and they look at everything that we do, everything, they monitor it, is more of an admission of our weakness than any battle that we could possibly lose or war that we could flounder.
00:23:37.000The Chinese Communist Party now knows that it's just a matter of time before they take us over, not necessarily militarily.
00:23:45.000You see, the Chinese Communist Party are huge fans of globalism and wokeism, and they work together.
00:23:53.000Globalism is the erosion of borders and a one-world government coming in.
00:23:59.000Now, you might say, why would China be a fan of that?
00:24:02.000Well, China actually never wants to enter into that agreement.
00:24:05.000China wants the rest of the world to weaken itself voluntarily while they violate that agreement and then they take over the entire world.
00:24:15.000They know that if it came to a conflict, currently China would probably lose.
00:24:20.000But if they are able to convince the American population that their history, their language, their culture, their beliefs, and a pursuit of American greatness is actually evil, then we will do to ourselves what China wants to do to us.
00:24:36.000They are trying to inflict an American suicide, and it's currently working.
00:24:42.000You see, the Chinese Communist Party has plenty of vulnerabilities, lots of them.
00:24:47.000If China even embraced a little bit of Western culture and freedom of speech, the Chinese Communist Party ruling class would be challenged and would probably topple from within.
00:24:58.000However, China's trying to preempt that through a surveillance state, through a security state, and through a military state.
00:25:07.000And so the question remains, or the real question we should be asking is, what's the best way to counter this?
00:25:17.000And the best way to counter it is exactly what Tucker Carlson did.
00:25:21.000Bold, definitive public statements against an existential threat to our country.
00:25:30.000It is the social justice warrior woke competition that Bill Maher also called out.
00:25:36.000John Oliver comes out and called Tucker Carlson a vessel for white supremacist talking points.
00:25:44.000You're starting to see every single talentless, replaceable media hack and comedian gather together because they realize that Tucker and what he represents, which is a return to traditional American values and an unapologetic defense of the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world, resonates with millions of people and it must be stopped at all costs.
00:27:26.000Instead, he was signaling a fire alarm, a siren saying, hey, the direction this is heading, Which is the erosion of standards and the pursuit of inclusivity is going to make the American military weaker, more vulnerable to attacks, and it's a gift to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:27:48.000That was his statement, and his statement is true.
00:27:51.000So, the question should be: what are Republicans doing in response to this?
00:29:45.000Tech companies are censoring conservatives.
00:29:48.000Newt Gingrich lost access to his Twitter account for doing nothing wrong.
00:29:52.000So what are Republicans doing right now?
00:29:55.000What's the Republican response to all this?
00:29:58.000Because the Republicans, they're the ones that we work so hard to get into office.
00:30:01.000And don't get me wrong, I voted for Republicans up and down the ballot.
00:30:04.000I campaigned for Republicans because they're not Democrats and they're able to stop legislation.
00:30:10.000But what's the agenda that they are presenting to the American people?
00:30:14.000Well, while our borders are open, talk show hosts are being targeted by our military, and social media tech companies are doing what they want, Republicans have decided that their big new idea for America is to go repeal the estate tax.
00:30:30.000The estate tax is a tax that happens with wealthy people that want to pass down their wealth or their assets to their kids.
00:30:40.000Now, if you ask me, Charlie, do you want to get rid of the estate tax?
00:30:46.000I guess, okay, that's not exactly top priority right now.
00:30:50.000The legislation was unveiled on Tuesday by Senators John Kennedy and John Thune and has been co-sponsored by 20 other Republican senators or about half of Senate Republicans, including Mitch McConnell and Representative Jason Smith from Missouri.
00:31:03.000The federal estate tax, current tax rate, is 40%, but thanks to exemptions that grow every year, an estate in 2021 would have to be worth $11.7 million for individuals and $23.4 million for married couples before the estate tax kicks in.
00:31:16.000Okay, their argument is that it hurts family farms.
00:31:22.000You want to stop being made fun of as the Chamber of Commerce ruling class billionaire party.
00:31:27.000By the way, the billionaires hate you.
00:31:29.000The billionaire class does not share the values of the pro-American party.
00:31:35.000But instead of saying, like, hey, maybe we should stop this illegal immigration crisis, maybe we should work on rebuilding the nuclear family, maybe we should rebuild our urban cities, maybe we should have school choice, maybe we should have educational vouchers, maybe we should talk about challenging a corporate oligarchy that's raging in our country.
00:31:53.000Maybe we should end the war in Afghanistan.
00:31:56.000Maybe we should continue to do everything we possibly can to make sure the United States military doesn't target Tucker Carlson.
00:32:04.000No, John Kennedy from Louisiana, who's typically pretty good, and John Thune, their new big idea is: hey, rich people are paying too much in tax.
00:32:14.000And look, again, I'm a free market guy.
00:32:16.000I agree with that if we were doing some sort of chalkboard whiteboard session.
00:32:20.000But the wealthiest Americans had a wonderful year.
00:32:24.000The wealthiest Americans increased their net worth by $750 billion in the last year.
00:32:32.000And the Republicans' message is: we need to cut their taxes even more.
00:32:36.000We need to make sure that the wealth can continue through many generations.
00:32:46.000Republicans deserve election losses when you make this a legislative priority.
00:32:51.000Instead of saying that we want to rebuild families, we want to give families money to have more children, we want to restrict immigration into our country, want to protect religious liberty, instead of saying we're going to stand next to pastors who are being threatened with imprisonment for opening their churches, that we are going to help small businesses to flourish and we're going to challenge the corporate oligarchy.
00:33:09.000I have to be lectured from John Thune from South Dakota that billionaires might have to pay too high of a tax when they die.
00:33:17.000That's the top priority of the Republican Party.
00:33:22.000And you want to know why Tucker Carlson is the most powerful person in the Republican Party?
00:33:26.000Because he rejects this corporate oligarchy and he talks about things that matter.
00:33:31.000This is why John Thune is not taken seriously by the mainstream media and Tucker Carlson is considered a threat.
00:33:37.000Because Tucker Carlson knows that this set of ideas is going extinct and his new idea of a vibrant people-based conservatism is actually popular, which is why the military is targeting Tucker and why the entire activist media is trying to deplatform and debase him.
00:34:26.000But if you have a line of communication or you're just willing to say to Sinema and Manchin, please do the right thing, stand for the filibuster, stand for the rights of the minority in the U.S. Senate, I don't think HR1 will pass.
00:34:44.000However, if they do something called the democracy reconciliation, it very well might pass.
00:34:51.000I think it's H.R. 51 also that just got passed in the House that is trying to make, or they're about to pass it, I'm sorry, Washington, D.C., a state, which really should be unconstitutional.
00:35:05.000And there's many different reasons for that.
00:35:10.000Most specifically in the Constitution, it says that the capital must be a district.
00:35:15.000However, there's been a piece of legislation that was passed that I want to focus on that was not met with uniform Republican opposition.
00:35:27.000Spend a lot of time going after Joe Biden, the postmodernists, the woke industrial complex.
00:35:33.000However, I also spend a good amount of time going after establishment weak Republicans that say one thing and they do another.
00:35:44.000Now, if you understand the significance of the Bill of Rights and you understand how rare it is to have a First and a Second Amendment, then at any measure whatsoever that is proposed to try to take away our speech or our weapons should be made with fierce and intense opposition.
00:36:10.000Now, later on in the hour, I'm going to talk about a chilling example of a country that does not have the First Amendment and how it actually pertains to a news item that I was involved in last week.
00:36:22.000But let's start with the Second Amendment.
00:36:26.000There is no First Amendment without the Second Amendment.
00:36:28.000The Second Amendment is the one that protects all the other amendments.
00:36:32.000The only reason why our leaders, or I don't even want to call them leaders, someone sent us an email.
00:36:38.000The only reason why the people in charge is a correction there don't completely and forcibly go about their power grab like they did in Hong Kong is because we have armed citizenry.
00:36:51.000If all the people in Hong Kong had AR-15s, it would be a negotiation, not a hostage situation.
00:36:58.000Now, I'm not calling for anything ever of violence or armed rebellion.
00:37:03.000That is not what I'm saying, to be very, very clear.
00:37:07.000But the thought behind the Second Amendment and the truth behind the Second Amendment is that if a citizenry does not have their ability to protect themselves and the government has a monopoly on force, then they will get whatever they want.
00:37:22.000Then the laws will not be written for the benefit of the people, but instead the laws will be written for the benefit of the rulers.
00:37:32.000And so a very aggressive, unconstitutional, and immoral piece of gun control and gun confiscation legislation was passed through Congress for what they call gun background checks.
00:37:48.000Now, mind you, there is already a background check bill that exists called the Brady Bill.
00:37:55.000But this bill, H.R. 8, expanded background checks for individuals planning to purchase or transfer firearms.
00:38:05.000Father wants to give a weapon to his child.
00:38:09.000That would now require a federal background check, the transfer of weapons.
00:38:16.000H.R. 8, also titled the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021, passed at a 227 to 203 vote.
00:38:26.000And the most upsetting and frustrating part of all this is that seven, I'm sorry, eight Republicans alongside Adam Kinzinger supported this bill.
00:38:38.000We should have a no-tolerance policy on gun confiscation.
00:38:48.000Limit the freedoms and liberties of Americans at every single possible corner and turn.
00:38:57.000Fourth Amendment, get rid of that because the libertarians and the white supremacists are the ones that are hurting America.
00:39:04.000The First Amendment, they're already trying to destroy that through H.R. 5, the Equality Act.
00:39:11.000But now H.R. 8 goes after potential confiscation of weapons and more gun control measures.
00:39:23.000This is more of the Overton window moving.
00:39:27.000I talked at length about the Overton window in my speech that I gave in Cleveland, and we're going to post that on our podcast feed and our YouTube channel in the coming days.
00:39:36.000I encourage you to check it out, which is everything that we're dealing with right now is a byproduct of the Overton window.
00:39:44.000Well, Joseph Overton came up with a brilliant theory that everything moves on a spectrum of public approval from unthinkable to radical to debatable to acceptable to policy.
00:39:59.000The point is that everything moves along that spectrum.
00:40:02.000One of the biggest problems is Republicans who go to Washington, D.C. for the desire to be liked by the Washington Post and the New York Times.
00:40:12.000I tell this to every single young member, including Madison Cawthorne, who deserves to be thanked and applauded, and we will play his tape in the next segment of him courageously pushing back against this gun control piece of legislation.
00:40:25.000As soon as you release yourself from the urge, from the temptation, from the desire to be liked by the Washington Post and MSNBC, you will think clearly.
00:40:38.000They will never like you unless you pander to them.
00:40:41.000Like Adam Kinzinger, who, by the way, I will be personally involved in whomever ends up going up against Adam Kinzinger.
00:40:49.000They're redrawing the maps in Illinois.
00:41:15.000Whomever it is, we're going to make sure that Adam Kinzinger has to go become a lobbyist for Raytheon or Northrop Grumman or Lockheed Martin after this, alongside Liz Cheney.
00:41:25.000Now, I'm not saying every single Republican that I'm going to mention here is worthy of a primary, but I am going to mention their names.
00:41:31.000And one of these names is a friend of mine.
00:41:33.000And I've already privately messaged her, and I hope that she's going to reconsider in future votes because at Turning Point Action, we helped her, and she won convincingly.
00:41:44.000The eight Republicans who voted to take away your guns are Adam Kinzinger, Vern Buchanan of Florida, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Maria Salazar of Florida, which is a big disappointment for me.
00:42:43.000It's about who gives you rights and where do rights come from.
00:42:49.000Rights come from your creator, not from government.
00:42:53.000And with the massive amount of gun control that already exists, any further gun control will only strengthen the federal bureaucracy to come knocking on your door to come take away your weapons, which will inherently, but will automatically, I should say, make us a less free country and give the power over to the woke industrial complex and the social justice warrior ruling class.
00:43:20.000So are you making full use of your savings?
00:43:22.000Think of the times that you've yearned for better returns.
00:43:25.000After real inflation, charges, and taxes, are you even making a profit?
00:43:30.000With food, clothing, and rent all more doubling over the last 10 years, you need to do something different.
00:43:36.000Gambling on Robin Hood or stocks might lose you everything you have.
00:43:40.000And like thousands of others, you want to retire stress-free.
00:43:44.000A precious metals IRA with Noble Gold could be the answer you've been looking for.
00:43:48.000And this month, Noble Gold is gifting a genuine, rare Carson City minted Morgan silver dollar with every qualifying IRA or 401k.
00:43:56.000These coins were around in a time when an ounce of silver was worth a dollar.
00:44:01.000For example, in 1893, a mint condition coin is now worth more than $3,250, a staggering 32,500% increase.
00:44:18.000So if you want something you can touch, and something you can feel, and something you can trade, and something that is real, go to noblegoldinvestments.com and tell them the Charlie Kirk show sent you.
00:44:28.000NobleGoldInvestments.com or call 877-646-5347.
00:44:40.000Adam Kinzinger and seven other Republicans vote for the gun background check bill.
00:44:46.000Vern Buchanan, Brian Fitzpatrick, Maria Salazar, Andrew Garberino, Chris Smith, Fred Upton, and Carlos Jimenez to take your weapons away.
00:44:56.000Kinzinger, who, by the way, I believe represents Illinois' 16th congressional district, is probably one of the highest gun-owning per capita congressional districts in the entire country.
00:45:22.000I thought the people are wonderful there.
00:45:23.000And I don't think it gets the credit it deserves.
00:45:26.000So Adam Kinzinger releases this on gun reform responsibility.
00:45:31.000Whenever there is a consequential moment where we need conservatives to step up, you can rest assured that Adam Kinzinger will let you down.
00:45:42.000And so one of my friends that's listening and emailed us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:45:47.000They say, Charlie, what is that Overton window?
00:45:51.000Well, the Overton window is a spectrum of which all political conversation flows on or operates on.
00:45:59.000It's a system to organize political conversation.
00:46:03.000So basically, Joseph Overton, who's now passed away, worked for the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, which is a Michigan think tank, argued that all political ideas are on a spectrum from unthinkable to policy.
00:46:17.000So it goes from unthinkable to radical to acceptable to sensible to popular to policy.
00:46:24.000So basically, let's take the example of defund the police.
00:46:28.000Defund the police went from unthinkable three years ago to now policy in Minneapolis, which hilariously, Minneapolis is now asking for more money to fund their police.
00:46:39.000Let's think of the Green New Deal, where spending $127 trillion on environmental justice, whatever that is, was unthinkable, but now it's somewhat sensible or popular in certain circles and almost policy.
00:46:52.000So how does one move the Overton window?
00:46:56.000By big, bold statements and putting the other team on defense.
00:47:01.000Noam Chomsky, who's a communist, also a professor at the University of Arizona, says, quote, the smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but also, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.
00:47:18.000Even encourage the more critical and dissident views.
00:47:21.000That gives more people the sense that there's free thinking going on when all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits being put on the range of the debate.
00:47:33.000We are always operating in that Overton window.
00:47:38.000And so what Nancy Pelosi is doing, what Adam Kinzinger and these other seven Republicans are doing, is they're playing into a moving of the Overton window.
00:47:47.000So their goal is policy of the confiscation of all weapons like they have in Great Britain.
00:47:53.000And so they want to move something that is unthinkable or radical to acceptable, sensible, popular, and policy.
00:47:58.000Now, things can also go from policy to unthinkable.
00:48:01.000And sometimes the Overton window can benefit humanity.
00:48:04.000For example, slavery used to be policy, and now it's unthinkable.
00:48:10.000So it went from policy to unthinkable.
00:48:12.000That's a good move backwards in the Overton window.
00:48:15.000But do you want to see a bad move on the Overton window?
00:48:18.000When something that went from policy segregation to unthinkable segregation to now it's policy again, where Columbia University has black-only and Latino-only graduation ceremonies.
00:48:34.000So everything, whether you realize it or not, operates on this Overton window, which is precisely why when Republicans go out of their way to pander to the moving of the Overton window, to pander to the narrative, and this is this, the whole theory behind the Overton window, I think, is so important and it resonates with me because it has to do with communication, has to do with the spread of ideas that actually ends up implementing, impacting public policy and the implementation of public policy.
00:49:04.000Remember, Trump moved the Overton window on immigration and trade positively.
00:49:09.000And in the next segment, I'm going to tell you one Republican that deserves to be applauded for stopping the move of the Overton window when it comes to weapons and how it impacts our other freedoms and liberties.
00:49:20.000As eight Republicans decide to take your weapons away, one courageous Republican, not just the only one, but a friend of mine who deserves to be complimented for a phenomenal speech he gave on the House floor, the youngest ever member of the House of Representatives to be elected, Madison Cawthorne, listen to his remarks, play tape.
00:49:39.000I specifically speak for 700,000 plus Americans in my district.
00:49:43.000When I say that if you think this bastardization of the Constitution will be met with silence, then you know nothing of the America I know.
00:50:43.000It's as if you're not allowed to say anything about a self-indulgent, narcissistic, wannabe Hollywood celebrity pseudo-politician sitting down with a billionaire complaining about how awful life is.
00:50:56.000It's as if that's the third rail of American politics.
00:50:58.000Cardi B doing strip dancing or whatever she did at the Grammys, perfectly cool.
00:51:03.000Asking a question or calling Meghan Markle a liar, you can't do that.
00:51:07.000However, there is lots of backlash and all that.
00:51:10.000Thankfully, I've said more controversial things, so it's not exactly as if I'm prone to potential cancellation for those remarks because I said nothing wrong.
00:51:19.000However, I read this story this weekend.
00:51:23.000In fact, Jake, one of our team members, brought this to my attention.
00:51:46.000It says, offcome, the United Kingdom media regulator revealed Tuesday that it had opened an investigation into Morgan's comments after fielding more than 40,000 complaints.
00:52:00.000So Piers Morgan and I agreed on something for a change.
00:52:03.000Again, he's not wrong about everything.
00:52:05.000I think he's actually very fun to listen to.
00:52:08.000And so Piers Morgan, he stormed off the stage of Good Morning Britain.
00:52:14.000And he says that he does not believe Markle generally, that she was attacking the royal family and she was attacking the crown and the British monarchy that has wonderful and beautiful history.
00:52:25.000And anyone that just wants to throw it away is an arrogant, ungrateful, probably college-educated activist.
00:52:33.000Megan Markle represents a destruction of that.
00:52:38.000And so we have cut 11 here of Piers Morgan responding to this.
00:52:43.000But I want to reinforce this before we get to this tape.
00:52:46.000He goes after Megan Markle, and now he is under a government investigation for this.
00:53:01.000I believe in the right to be allowed to have an opinion.
00:53:05.000If people want to believe Megan Markle, that's entirely their right.
00:53:09.000I don't believe almost anything that comes out of her mouth.
00:53:12.000And I think the damage she's done to the British monarchy and to the Queen at a time when Prince Philip is lying in hospital is enormous and frankly contemptible.
00:53:24.000So if I have to fall on my sword for expressing an honestly held opinion about Meghan Markle and that diatribe of bilge that she came out with in that interview, so be it.
00:53:58.000No details, meandering narrative, victimization, oppression Olympics, feel sorry for me because I married into the royal family, all of it.
00:54:07.000And however, for me, I never thought that I would ever come under a government agency response.
00:54:14.000I guess that the United Kingdom could come after me.
00:54:16.000I don't really know how that could work.
00:54:18.000But the point is this, and here's how it all ties together, is that Piers Morgan now has the government, the sovereign government, coming after him for something he said that was an opinion.
00:54:31.000Now, he opened up his remarks with something that is not a belief in the United Kingdom.
00:54:37.000He says, I believe in freedom of speech.
00:54:40.000Pierce, you should get out of that country quickly just because I don't think your fellow citizens do.
00:54:47.000Libel laws and defamation laws in the United Kingdom are much stricter, much stricter.
00:55:53.000Because if Piers Morgan was in the States and he said that, and he worked for CNN or NBC, they would just be calling for boycotts of his advertisers, a cancellation of his book deal, and trying to ruin his life that way.
00:56:09.000The only difference is that what we call cancel culture is in the rule of law in Britain, and that's what they want to bring here.
00:56:18.000They want to bring the very same heavy hand of government that Piers Morgan now has to face for saying something about Megan Markle that she's a pathological liar, which very well might be true.
00:56:31.000I believe it's totally true, and we'll see.
00:56:33.000Because Pierce is a wise guy, and he could see it for what it is.
00:56:58.000It's about a system of laws that they are now trying to implement domestically here in the United States.
00:57:04.000And it's directly connected with the gun control fight happening right now in the U.S. House of Representatives.
00:57:11.000In the United Kingdom, they do not have a Second Amendment.
00:57:15.000In the United Kingdom, they don't have a First Amendment, and they don't have a Fourth Amendment.
00:57:19.000We should be abundantly and eternally thankful for our founding fathers to have the clairvoyance, to have the foresight, hundreds of years ago, to know that there would be power-hungry dictators and tyrants that want to shut you up, take your ability to defend yourself away, and spy on you and walk directly into your private property.
00:57:42.000And so all of this, in some sense, at least Megan Markle's response to this, is about her trying to run for president of the United States.
00:57:52.000I read the other day that Michelle Obama is going to retire.
00:59:14.000While I disagree with you a lot on politics, and I think he was very unfair towards Donald Trump in the election, the liberation of speech is a moral crusade for anyone to be on.
00:59:24.000And that is really a point of continuity.
00:59:31.000That's not the right word, but it's something that we have in common.
00:59:35.000Between the United Kingdom and America right now, it's a similar culture war.
00:59:40.000And so while I go after Megan Markle and Piers Morgan goes after Megan Markle, and we have different threats, you see, Piers Morgan now, I guess he could go to jail.
00:59:49.000Is that what Ofcom potentially has is criminal penalties?
00:59:52.000That's probably unrealistic, but I'm guessing he could be fined.
01:00:03.000Is that that's what he has to worry about.
01:00:05.000But understand that the new ruling class that wants to govern our planet, and most specifically the Western world, and even more specifically than that in America, what's the one thing that they can't handle?
01:01:49.000Washington Post, Amazon, Washington Post.
01:01:51.000Remember the whole saga around Donald Trump pressuring a Georgia election investigator in a call legal experts could call could amount to obstruction.
01:02:25.000And it says, two months after, correction, two months after publication of the story, the Georgia Secretary of State released an audio recording of President Donald Trump's December phone call with the state top election investigator.
01:02:38.000The recording revealed that the Post misquoted Trump's comments on the call based on information provided by a source.
01:02:44.000Trump did not tell the investigator to, quote, find the fraud or say she would be a national hero if she did so.
01:02:49.000Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize the ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, asserting she would find dishonesty there.
01:02:56.000He also told her that she had the most important job in the country right now.
01:02:59.000A story about the recording can be found here.
01:03:01.000The headline and the text of the story have been corrected and removed quotes misattributed to Trump.
01:03:05.000Two months later, no one will be held accountable for this.
01:03:32.000And then Don Laman came out and he said that the Vatican declaring God cannot bless same-sex unions is: quote, God is not about hindering people or even judging people.
01:03:48.000Well, maybe Don believes in an Eastern religious God, but the God of the Bible says very clearly that there are laws, and if you follow them, those laws will set you free.
01:04:01.000Well, I think there are, listen, I respect people's right to believe in whatever they want to believe in, their God.
01:04:07.000But if you believe in something that hurts another person or that does not give someone the same rights or freedoms, not necessarily under the Constitution, because this is under God, I think that that's wrong.
01:04:19.000And I think that the Catholic Church and many other churches really need to re-examine themselves and their teachings because that is not what God is about.
01:04:28.000God is not about hindering people or even judging people.
01:04:32.000Go out and meet people and try to understand people and do what the Bible and what Jesus actually said if you believe in Jesus, and that is to love your fellow man and judge not lest ye be not judged.
01:04:45.000So he is talking about the God of the Bible.
01:04:47.000He's not talking about some Zorastrianism Middle Eastern sun worshiping God or some Eastern meditative God.
01:04:55.000Now, Don Laman probably is reading a different book.
01:04:58.000I would encourage Don Laman to read the book of Leviticus.
01:05:03.000This idea that God is a God that wants you to be self-indulgent limitlessly and endlessly is not even close to being true.
01:05:12.000You see, God gave a moral framework for all people to live by.
01:05:17.000Include not just the Ten Commandments, but all the laws throughout the Bible.
01:05:24.000So according to Don Lemon or Don Laman, God is not about hindering people or even judging people.
01:05:30.000So according to Don Lemon, God does not speak clearly about child pedophilia or about murder, about genocide or rape, because God's not a judging God.
01:05:41.000And according to Don Lemon, God is not about hindering people.
01:05:44.000Why would we prevent Stalin from killing 50 million people?
01:05:48.000What Don Lemon is really talking about is a moral relativist God.
01:05:53.000It sounds good in New York City social circles.
01:05:56.000You see, love is not the acceptance of all things.
01:06:00.000Love is truth and the clear, transparent guidelines of how human beings are supposed to live on this earth.
01:06:11.000And Don Lemon introducing, not just introducing, but this is a growing trend in American Christianity, is why we have so much moral confusion in our country.
01:06:21.000What is the truth of the George Floyd controversy?
01:06:25.000Well, a phenomenal article was written by Unwoke Narrative, and we are going to do an entire video from unwokenarrative.com of the truth of the George Floyd death, and it will stun you.
01:06:40.000I learned a lot in this article, and it's different than what the media is telling you.
01:06:46.000And it's going to be exclusively on our YouTube channel and also on our podcast feed.
01:06:51.000And especially subscribe to our podcast feed because just looking at the fact hurricane that is in this piece of document from Unwoke Narrative, we might lose our YouTube channel.
01:08:36.000I'm not going to share this person's name because they asked us not to, which is that Mayo Clinic, which is supposed to be a place about healing and finding scientific breakthroughs.
01:08:47.000Mayo Clinic approves use of personal pronouns in email signatures and on buttons, basically endorsing this idea that your gender is merely an opinion, which is anti-science.
01:09:01.000Mayo Clinic now says personal pronouns can be used in email signatures, in keeping with the email signature policy and on buttons in compliance with address and decorum policy.
01:09:11.000The left will destroy everything they touch.
01:09:34.000People might suffer from gender dysphoria.
01:09:36.000I hope they find healing, counseling, and compassion to help them with that tragic condition if they think they are something other than they are not.
01:09:45.000And Mayo Clinic is playing right into it.
01:09:58.000Love your show and love your insight on a question that came up over the weekend.
01:10:01.000Coming up in late June of last year, I'll be traveling with my fiancé and her family to Disney World.
01:10:06.000I then brought up to my fiancé, her family, who is left-leaning, that I'd be even more excited because the free state, you don't have to wear masks there.
01:10:14.000My fiancé's mom said that's not true and that Texas was the only state that has gone fully open, though masks.
01:10:18.000She then decided to throw in that they were idiots for doing so, so I had to hold my tongue.
01:10:22.000Anyways, I've been listening for about a year and I got the impression that Ron DeSantis was the people's governor and that Florida was the best state to be in at that moment.
01:10:28.000Could you clear that up for me, please?
01:10:41.000But you should ask your fiancé's family, why is it that Florida, with the second elderliest population, has a better virus death rate and hospitalization rate than almost any of these other states?
01:10:52.000And why is it that California with mask mandates and lockdowns has a higher death rate and higher hospitalization rate?
01:10:59.000And why is it that you need a mask mandate?
01:11:01.000If you think masks work, why don't you still wear a mask?
01:11:04.000Why do you need to use the full force of the government to impose what you think is right, even though there is no scientific data to show that masks have any sort of impact of the spread of the Chinese coronavirus?
