00:00:36.000His 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.
00:00:44.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:18.000Deadly chemicals are flowing into the air uninterrupted.
00:01:23.000We mentioned yesterday that the type of chemicals that are going into the air, it would be against the Geneva Convention on Chemical Weapons after World War I for this to be deployed on a citizenry.
00:01:34.000Yet the leaders are saying repeatedly, it's perfectly safe.
00:01:40.000If Joe Biden actually believed that, if Pete Boot Edge Edge actually believed that, I would love both of them to go for a couple hours, go get a sandwich without a mask on, and show us how safe it actually is.
00:01:56.000Will a single member of the Biden cabinet visit Ohio and breathe in the air themselves?
00:02:06.000Do they actually believe that this air is safe to breathe?
00:02:12.000Typically, these stories are covered by the left and the media.
00:02:21.000The BP oil spill, the Flint water crisis.
00:02:26.000Typically, when there is a mismanagement by politicians and people's air is polluted or their water is infected, it is a non-stop media push and narrative campaign.
00:02:54.000We know that everything is just not as far from fine, but there's a deeper reason that this is happening.
00:03:01.000You see, this train derailment that is now emitting incredibly deadly chemicals to the air is happening in a region of the country that Democrats have very little to no concern about.
00:03:17.000You see, if you know anything about Ohio, Ohio is a great place.
00:03:31.000It's right near a place I know very well where a friend of mine who was one of the biggest supporters of Turning Point USA was from Hubbard, Ohio.
00:03:38.000I actually visited there for his funeral, Tom Patrick.
00:03:42.000This area, right near Youngstown, Ohio, Palestine, Ohio.
00:04:20.000When you drive through eastern Ohio, right near Youngstown, and you drive through New Springfield, and you drive through New Middleton, and you drive through Hubbard, and you drive through these cities, they are museums.
00:04:38.000Every single one of these small towns is filled with great patriots, and they have a couple things in common.
00:04:59.000Now, of course, there are some small businesses that have managed to survive.
00:05:03.000But largely, this infrastructure, this robust, middle-class, muscular class town has been forgotten because people like Mitt Romney, working for Bain Capital, came in and said to the people that assembled the refrigerators, your dry cleaners, not your dry cleaners, your laundry machines,
00:05:32.000the people that actually did the tough work that built America, people like Mitt Romney came in and said, we're going to send those jobs to China in a relocation strategy.
00:05:45.000Donald Trump came along in 2016 and changed the game.
00:07:16.000He kind of embodies the archetype of what Hillary Clinton called the deplorables, or Peter Strzok-Strook-Smirk called the smelly Walmart people.
00:07:28.000These people are not useful to the Democrats, and it's showing play cut 33.
00:07:36.000As far as the smell, that's definitely present.
00:07:39.000I came today where we are right now at my shop.
00:07:42.000This is the first time I've been here in a week, and I was here five minutes, and I had a head.
00:07:47.000I have a headache right now, and you can smell it.
00:07:50.000Anyone who comes here who hasn't been here can smell it.
00:08:56.000If this train derailment happened in downtown Atlanta in the densely populated black neighborhoods, this would be the number one news story.
00:09:10.000There would be clamoring and activism and talks for reparations.
00:09:16.000And Buddha Judge, meanwhile, is out there saying, listen, while this derailment is happening, while the act of poisoning is happening, he's saying, look, the problem is that workers are too white.
00:09:33.000We have heard way too many stories from generations past of infrastructure where you got a neighborhood, often a neighborhood of color that finally sees the project come to them, but everyone in the hard hats on that project looking like, you know, doing the good paying jobs, don't look like they came from anywhere near the neighborhood.
00:09:50.000You can build community wealth that will help close wealth gaps in this country if we can tear down those barriers.
00:09:58.000But that happens at the delivery level.
00:10:02.000So Buddha Judge is out talking about how workers are too white.
00:10:09.000For the last couple of years, I have been warning about this crusade against white people and people shrug their shoulders, say, Oh, Charlie, why does that matter?
00:11:30.000It can help with mental acuity with memory.
00:11:32.000And Strong Cell also puts CoQ10 and wild-caught marine collagen.
00:11:38.000Again, I take it every day, and the difference I feel is undeniable.
00:11:42.000By taking just one small bottle of strong cell liquid every day, you can experience an energy boost within the first week and even more benefits within the first 15 days.
00:11:51.000After 30 days, you'll feel like a new person.

00:13:10.000This is a concerning new update for residents living in the East Palestine area.
00:13:14.000This morning, we are learning that more chemicals, not just minyl chloride, were on the Norfolk train that derailed over a week ago in Ohio.
00:13:23.000New this morning, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sent a letter to Norfolk Southern stating these three other chemicals were also aboard in some of those rail cars that caught fire.
00:13:33.000We spoke to a hazardous material specialist who says that some of these chemicals are carcinogen.
00:13:38.000And this video here, News Nation acquired of dead fish in cloudy water.
00:13:42.000Residents say they've also seen sick animals and their homes in town are still covered in debris.
00:13:49.000You know, it's interesting for a government that tends to make everything an emergency.
00:13:58.000They can't seem to scramble into a posture of urgency when working-class white people start to breathe carcinogens and potentially deadly toxins.
00:14:10.000They love emergencies for emergency use authorization, for mRNA.
00:14:16.000Let me make sure I'm precise in my language here.
00:14:20.000If we are understanding this Ohio situation correctly, this train derailment and the toxins that are being put into the air is likely more dangerous than the Chinese coronavirus to the citizens of eastern Ohio.
00:14:40.000What you're seeing, though, is what those of us that have been very focused on the culture war, I put that in quotes because the media loves to attack us and pastors love to attack me for saying, Charlie, you're wasting your time on the culture war.
00:14:57.000You see, when I say that we need to win the culture war or that there are dangerous and poisonous and toxic, no pun intended, ideas that are spreading, this example is a tragically perfect one.
00:15:18.000When you start to build an entire cultural narrative about hating white people and you make it normal and acceptable to hate white people and whiteness in general, which was platformed by Coca-Cola to major universities to professors to Nicole Hanna-Jones, then don't be surprised when those ideas all of a sudden manifest in the inaction of your government.
00:15:48.000If there was a train derailment in downtown San Francisco, people would scramble with urgency because all of these LGBTQ gay people might be breathing in carcinogens.
00:16:03.000If there was a train derailment full of chemicals in downtown Atlanta or in the south side of Chicago or in Philadelphia, there would be mass mobilization efforts to try to help those people because they'd say, well, this is just another example of racism.
00:16:20.000But it is the deplorable folks, the ones that look like the way I do, that somehow just kind of get glossed over.
00:16:28.000Number two, we have a transportation secretary who says yesterday in his comments, look, what we need is to have people that are less white working on construction deals, which is essentially what he said.
00:16:46.000You have an incompetent, ideologically driven automaton who basically is chat GPT as a transportation secretary, who also happens to be gay.
00:17:01.000And that's the reason he's in the position that he's in.
00:17:05.000Pete Buttigej was not chosen because of his intellect, because of his experience, because of his wisdom, because of his virtue, because of his prudence.
00:17:15.000Pete Buttigej was chosen because of his personal lifestyle choices.
00:17:24.000And we receive a lot of emails here, freedomatcharliekirk.com.
00:17:33.000And one person who emails us constantly and hates our show, this is interesting though, it's a real person, says, quote, need a lot of swear words.
00:17:43.000It's about time you white guys get to breathe in chemicals like the blacks living in red-lined areas.
00:17:48.000Now it's time for revenge, Crimea River, and all this other stuff.
00:17:53.000Now, I'm sure that's not held by every single Democrat, but it's certainly illuminating.
00:17:59.000We have a couple emails that are saying that, saying it's about time that white people experience the toxins and the poison that black people have experienced.
00:18:07.000What example he's talking about, I'm not exactly sure.
00:18:13.000Douglas Murray talked about this in his book, War on the West.
00:18:19.000But our government, our institutions, and our colleges, it is in vogue to hate the white man.
00:18:31.000And that's why the working class whites of eastern Ohio are now being told to fend for themselves.
00:18:41.000Look, it is time to consider a rollover of that 401k into an IRA.
00:18:47.000The investment world is completely different in 2023, and you cannot do the same thing as last year.
00:18:52.000Woke companies are aggressively implementing ESG.
00:18:56.000Interest rates are going up and inflation is still lingering.
00:18:59.000If you have over $150,000, now is the time to move your money to a biblical responsible investing strategy with my friends at PAX Financial Group.
00:19:07.000I put my money with PAX, and guess what?
00:19:09.000I just got to report it's up 12% since last year, and that's while everyone else is down.
00:20:22.000Is anybody in our government trying to negotiate peace, trying to get to a place of a settlement?
00:20:26.000Are we trying to de-escalate the tensions?
00:20:29.000And despite that, signs are showing that the war is about to go in a very bad direction.
00:20:39.000So let me tell you what's about to happen.
00:20:41.000The one-year anniversary of Putin immorally invading Ukraine, and we've been very clear on the moral terms here, a strong country should not invade a weak country just because they want it, is coming up.
00:20:53.000That one-year anniversary is coming up.
00:20:55.000There is a window in time when the harsh winter will moderately thaw before the mud season kicks in.
00:21:06.000Putin is likely going to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops.
00:21:12.000Remember, last fall, Putin very quietly announced the mobilization of 300,000 fresh troops for the Russian military.
00:21:21.000But he hasn't yet moved them to the front lines.
00:21:23.000And so for the past couple months, these troops have been undergoing preparation and training, and it seems like they're about to be sent into battle.
00:21:34.000This pains me to say, but tens of thousands and probably over 100,000 people are needlessly about to die because of the American government's lack of interest to try to broker a peace settlement.
00:22:48.000If Joe Biden, right, yeah, if Joe Biden would do this.
00:22:51.000If anybody in the American government would fly to Minsk and facilitate a meeting between Putin and Zelensky to say the eastern part of Ukraine can go to Russia and we're going to stop a bloodbath.
00:23:06.000I hate to say it, but our prediction is likely going to be right.
00:23:09.000And no one in the media has the courage to say it out loud, that this is about to be a slaughter.
00:23:16.000Russia is aiming to hit the same window that they did last year.
00:23:20.000It's very hard to launch an offensive in the dead of winter, but it's almost impossible to do it in early spring because Ukraine just turns into a massive pile of mud.
00:23:29.000So there is this five to six week window, which is why Putin called up those hundreds of thousands of troops in the fall.
00:23:35.000He's been preparing them all winter, and he's going to go after it.
00:24:46.000He's talking like this is our proxy war, because it has become our proxy war.
00:24:54.000We're heavily involved from armaments to training.
00:24:59.000And I do not have evidence that we have active military troops on the ground, but you've got to wonder if you can trust the government here.
00:25:11.000So what I'm trying to say right now is this war is about to get even messier than anything we have seen.
00:25:22.000What basically we have seen is the beginning stages of what is about to become a deadlier and bloodier war.
00:25:30.000Russia has about four times the people as Ukraine.
00:26:21.000So think of it as a tank provides them with protection from incoming fire, but it also allows them to pack a punch to fire back on the Russians during this offensive.
00:28:34.000A country that is much further away from us, of no importance, except maybe some abstract philosophical argument.
00:28:42.000Are we willing to go all out here if this spirals out of control?
00:28:47.000What I am trying to warn you about today is, and NATO is agreeing with me, and the troop repositioning of Putin certainly reinforces the argument.
00:28:57.000And the sources in the government that I've talked to in the Department of Defense and in the intel agencies that have told me, Charlie, this is about to be a bloodbath.
00:29:04.000You got to tell your audience that this is about to go sour.
00:29:08.000What is our government going to do if Putin successfully pushes back the line 100 miles, 200 miles west?
00:29:55.000Putin is about to put it all on the line with anywhere between 300,000 to 500,000 troops as his opening salvo.
00:30:10.000Look, are you concerned about the American K-12 education system?
00:30:13.000Are you worried about what your children and your grandchildren are learning or honestly not learning in school?
00:30:18.000If you answer yes, my friends at Hillsdale College have a free resource for you.

00:31:15.000So check it out right now at charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:31:22.000So if our nation, if our government was interested in the best solution for our own country, America, and also for the West, and even, yes, the people of Ukraine who are the real victims here, we would be having active efforts for peace talks in any way, shape, or form, just to keep talking, to try to keep negotiating.
00:31:46.000And who has been the one facilitating all of this?
00:32:27.000He said, if you walk over the line, I will come and I'll bomb the Kremlin.
00:32:31.000And Putin, and the entire time of Trump, Putin thought to himself, is this guy crazy enough to do that?
00:32:43.000We are heavily involved in this proxy war, and there is some clamoring for a War Powers Act resolution, but technically, this does not require War Powers Act.
00:32:53.000So maybe we should call it the Proxy War Powers Act resolution.
00:32:57.000Now, the counterargument is like, well, Charlie, we're not involved in the war because we're supplying weapons.
00:33:03.000Like, hold on, I think the game has changed a little bit.
00:33:06.000I spent time with the House Freedom Caucus last weekend with over 20 of them.
00:33:12.000I talked to them, great American patriots, from Lauren Boebert to Chip Roy to so many of them.
00:33:19.000And they all agree that the pipeline story changes the game.
00:33:27.000You see, if we did indeed bomb the pipeline, which I think, of course, we did, at the very minimum we provided intelligence and were aware of it and were helping coordinate it, would we supposed to believe the Greeks did it or like the Italians?
00:33:40.000I mean, no one would have, no offense to them.
00:33:42.000They do not have the sophistication nor the gumption to go bomb a piece of critical infrastructure of the Russian Federation.
00:33:52.000Edward Snowden, who I have mixed opinions on, says that the entire UFO hysteria is engineered distraction from the Nordstream pipeline bombshell.
00:34:03.000He might be right, he might not be right, but he certainly has seen under the hood a lot more than almost everybody else has of what our government is up to in the clandestine activities.
00:34:13.000And he exposed a lot of it and what short memories we have.
00:34:56.000It'll give the Ukrainians a fair shot.
00:34:59.000And I guarantee you in the coming weeks, one of these warmongers is going to come out and they're going to say, look, Putin's about to do his offensive.
00:35:06.000Let's just help even the playing field and let's establish a no-fly zone.
00:35:13.000For those of you that are emailing us, Charlie, we shouldn't go to war, I do want to ask, I want to ask a provocative question.
00:35:19.000Are we already at war with the Russian Federation?
00:35:59.000But Putin is just as popular with mainland Russians.
00:36:08.000So Putin is about to escalate this, and the West is going to try to make him out as some sort of Hitlerian villain as a way that, as a prerequisite that we need to then establish a no-fly zone, which then, of course, will mean troops.
00:37:42.000And if you are not prepared to send your grandson to be drafted into the U.S. military, I encourage you to start advocating for a peace deal before this thing gets wildly out of control because it might already be there.
00:37:55.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
