00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, what would I say if I had a meeting with Joe Biden?
00:00:03.000 In fact, I would enjoy having a meeting with Joe Biden.
00:00:05.000 There is something that he can do for our country that would legitimately offer healing and well-being for this divide that we're in.
00:00:13.000 Will he do it?
00:00:15.000 Let's explore that and so much more.

00:00:54.000 Here we go.
00:00:55.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:57.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:59.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:02.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:05.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:06.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:08.000 His 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.
00:01:16.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:25.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:28.000 I'm very excited to talk to you about a new book that is coming out this month from my dear friend, a great American, and one of my top mentors, Jim Holden.
00:01:36.000 He's a best-selling author, a member of the Turning Point Endowment, and a very clear thinker.
00:01:41.000 So listen carefully.
00:01:43.000 Selling in an Anxious World is Jim's fifth book on selling strategies and best practices.
00:01:48.000 This time, Jim brings together research science and observation to identify the leading cause of declining business-to-business sales, also known as corporate culture.
00:01:58.000 I had the great honor of contributing to a chapter of Selling in an Anxious World through my work with Turning Point.
00:02:04.000 I'm in a unique position to observe academic culture within our colleges and relate it to the corporate world, particularly its impact on company culture.
00:02:12.000 In today's world, good company culture requires vigilant protection, which is why this book is so timely and a must-read for business people, sellers, patriots, and Christians.
00:02:22.000 Selling in an Anxious World combines research from extensive deal reviews, examples from Jim's personal life, and Bible references to shine a light on culture, presenting an unconventional guide to solving an unconventional problem.
00:02:35.000 You'll get quick access to whatever topics are important to you through chapter summaries and reference guides.
00:02:41.000 Jim Holden's book is not like any other business book out there.
00:02:45.000 So go to sellingcharlie.com.
00:02:47.000 That's sellingcharlie.com and use the special code Charlie to get a discount.
00:02:51.000 Again, my dear friend, Jim Holden, we're going to have him on the podcast talking about this book.
00:02:55.000 And send me some of your thoughts at freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:02:58.000 Again, that's Selling in an Anxious World by Jim Holden, a must-read for everyone.
00:03:05.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here with producer Andrew.
00:03:08.000 Hello.
00:03:09.000 I'm old enough to remember when Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders, random judges from Hawaii used to overturn everything he did.
00:03:15.000 Yeah, that's true.
00:03:16.000 Where's our random judges from Alabama just saying, nope, you can't do that, can't do that.
00:03:20.000 I guess we have to sue and then the judge could intervene.
00:03:23.000 But we do have the AG from Texas saying that he issued a statement saying that he was going to stand up against federal overreach, but that's TBD.
00:03:33.000 Yeah, we'll see what happens there.
00:03:36.000 So I want to get into this idea of what would I say in a 10-minute meeting to Joe Biden.
00:03:42.000 And basically, I would say something very simply.
00:03:45.000 We agree on basically nothing.
00:03:48.000 I am a political opponent of yours, and I'll remain a critic of yours.
00:03:53.000 I'll praise you if you ever do anything right.
00:03:55.000 But you say you want to unify the country.
00:03:58.000 And the only thing that we ask out of you is that you both privately and publicly state that those of us that are conservative grassroots organizers that have a different philosophical view of how to bring this country, different political view to bring this country, that we are not people that are worthy of perpetual surveillance, infiltration, and a domestic war on terror against us.
00:04:23.000 Do we have that commitment from you?
00:04:25.000 That's it.
00:04:26.000 That would be my complete and total message.
00:04:29.000 And mind you, could you imagine if President Trump back in June said that we need a new domestic war on terror against Black Lives Matter, BLM Incorporated?
00:04:44.000 Remember what happened to Senator Tom Cotton when he recommended or suggested President Trump sign the Insurrection Act to go against BLM Incorporated rioters, and some would call them, based on the new way we do definitions in this country, domestic terrorists.
00:05:00.000 Remember the outrage when President Trump called Antifa domestic terrorists?
00:05:04.000 Because right now, they are going after federal court buildings in Seattle and Portland.
00:05:09.000 They are going after Democrat Party offices, which, by the way, would be under the definition of terrorism because any violence done politically or for a political objective is under the FBI definition of terrorism.
00:05:26.000 Remember when government-funded research studies said the dangers of designating Antifa as a terrorist organization?
00:05:35.000 Now, President Trump never did any of that.
00:05:38.000 He never recommended a new domestic war on terror.
00:05:43.000 Of course not.
00:05:45.000 That is what I would ask Joe Biden.
00:05:48.000 In fact, Joe Biden, if he really wants to bring the country together, he should have a monthly meeting called the Civil Discourse or the Heal the Divide meeting, where he brings in once a month different grassroots conservatives that have followings and he listens.
00:06:09.000 Now, Barack Obama, to his credit, in the early days of his presidency, actually did this when he was debating health care.
00:06:17.000 No one really remembers this, but Barack Obama brought in all the conservatives into the White House, aired it, and Paul Ryan got some clips against Obama, and there was a lot of back and forth.
00:06:27.000 That was back in, boy, 2009, 2010, when Obama first became president.
00:06:33.000 And so the question is, why won't Biden do that?
00:06:39.000 Where's the action on how to unify the country?
00:06:41.000 Well, so far, his definition of unity is abolishing thousands of jobs through the Keystone XL pipeline and beating the drums of war in his inaugural address, not giving any sort of distinctions or differences.
00:06:56.000 Glenn Greenwald gave a great point.
00:06:58.000 He said, it would be one thing if the Democrats weren't talking so open-ended on this.
00:07:04.000 It'd be one thing if the Democrats were using organizational names, membership, plots, plans, locations, and strategy.
00:07:13.000 It'd be one thing if it was like, okay, there's 600 armed KKK people in Northwest Arkansas, and we need to probably do something about them.
00:07:22.000 Instead, it's these platitudes of just open-ended criticism.
00:07:29.000 We need to go after political extremism.
00:07:31.000 Hold on a second.
00:07:32.000 I'm old enough to remember when Ted Cruz was called a political extremist.
00:07:36.000 What about Ilhan Omar?
00:07:38.000 We're at it.
00:07:40.000 Does she fall in the purview of this?
00:07:42.000 Well, just so you're clear, AOC is a self-described political extremist, political radical.
00:07:48.000 Remember?
00:07:49.000 There's a clip in my head somewhere in this vast, confused library of information where AOC says, if this makes me a radical, then so be it, I'm a radical.
00:07:58.000 Something like that.
00:07:59.000 Yeah, no, I roughly remember what you're talking about.
00:08:02.000 Yeah, and it's and it's before, you know, there was this siege on the think about all the things that have happened in the wake of the Capitol violent, right?
00:08:10.000 1776 used to be a marker of pride.
00:08:13.000 Like we look back at 1770.
00:08:15.000 Now they now they say, oh, conservatives, you say 1776, that means you want an armed militia to lead an insurrection over the government.
00:08:23.000 If you used the word fight in politics, like we want to fight for our country and we're going to fight for what's right.
00:08:29.000 Now they take that to mean, that's the new F-word.
00:08:32.000 They take it to mean armed fighting to violence in the streets.
00:08:36.000 And it's like, well, no, actually, what is being exposed here and what you're really getting at, Charlie, is that sort of charged political language is just part and parcel of the American political experience.
00:08:49.000 And AOC and Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib embrace it just as much as a Ted Cruz or Senator Hawley ever have.
00:08:56.000 The question is this: Is Joe Biden the president of the Democrat Party or is he the president of the country?
00:09:01.000 It's that simple.
00:09:02.000 Because if he's the president of the Democrat Party, what he's doing is exactly what a president of the Democrat Party would do.
00:09:08.000 Is he president of the whole country?
00:09:10.000 I want to know times, dates, conversations, and takeaways of every conversation Joe Biden has had or his team with a Trump voter.
00:09:19.000 Now, mind you, a Trump voter is not like a rhinoceros in the African jungle, okay?
00:09:25.000 You can go find one. 1.00
00:09:30.000 Look, cancel culture is a very big problem.
00:09:32.000 And the fact is, the internet never forgets.
00:09:35.000 There has never been a more important time to protect your internet activity, which is why I urge you to get ExpressVPN.
00:09:40.000 Everything you search for, watch or click online can be tracked by big tech companies.
00:09:45.000 They then match your activity to your true identity using your device's unique IP address.
00:09:51.000 When I switch on ExpressVPN with my computer or phone, my IP address is masked by a secure VPN server, which makes it harder for websites to identify me.
00:10:00.000 The ExpressVPN app also encrypts my network data to protect my sensitive information from being compromised.
00:10:07.000 Plus, you can use ExpressVPN on up to five devices simultaneously so multiple users on your network can stay safe with a single subscription.
00:10:15.000 What I like the best is how easy it is to use.
00:10:18.000 It just takes one click to protect all your devices.
00:10:20.000 That's why they're rated the number one VPN by CNET and Wired.
00:10:24.000 So stop handing over your data to big tech companies.
00:10:26.000 Go to the VPN I trust for online protection.

00:10:52.000 John Brennan, alongside Joe Biden, are calling for aggressive domestic action against extremists, against radicals is a word they've used.
00:11:02.000 Well, will AOC be surveilled, monitored, and infiltrated?
00:11:05.000 Play tape.
00:11:06.000 What you are talking about, just big picture, is a radical agenda compared to the way politics is done right now.
00:11:13.000 Well, I think that it only has ever been radicals that have changed this country.
00:11:20.000 Abraham Lincoln made the radical decision to sign the Emancipation Proclamation.
00:11:24.000 Franklin Delano Roosevelt made the radical decision to embark on establishing programs like Social Security.
00:11:31.000 That is radical.
00:11:33.000 Do you call yourself a radical?
00:11:34.000 Yeah, you know, if that's what radical means, call me a radical.
00:11:38.000 If that's what radical means, call me a radical.
00:11:40.000 And that was all from my memory.
00:11:42.000 Very good.
00:11:43.000 I do remember that clip.
00:11:45.000 You had a little bit better grasp of it.
00:11:47.000 I think we should all agree that her, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib, she's got, what, Corey Bush now?
00:11:53.000 There's a couple new squad members, actually, as of the new Congress.
00:11:58.000 But I think they're all radicals, and I think they would gladly embrace it, and so would Antifa, and so would BLM.
00:12:04.000 And if that's what we're calling domestic terror, then certainly I think we should have a discussion about it.
00:12:10.000 We should have a conversation about it.
00:12:11.000 Let me say, I don't think AOC should be monitored, surveilled, or being infiltrated against.
00:12:17.000 So Joe Biden needs to be a lot more specific when he talks about this.
00:12:20.000 And he's not.
00:12:21.000 He's being intentionally nonspecific.
00:12:23.000 And so if he were to actually try to heal the country, mind you, he's only 24 hours into the job right now, but he would announce a healing commission, a conversation commission, because they're always talking about having conversations, right?
00:12:38.000 Where he has conservatives.
00:12:39.000 And I actually mean this.
00:12:41.000 This is something that Peter Doocy should ask.
00:12:43.000 In fact, I'll try to get it to him.
00:12:44.000 Say, hey, Jen, thanks for calling on me.
00:12:47.000 When's the last time anyone in this building has talked to a Trump voter?
00:12:52.000 Has anyone ever talked to a Trump voter in this entire building?
00:12:56.000 Has anyone ever talked to anyone that is around the shaping of what it means to be a Trump supporter?
00:13:03.000 Has anyone?
00:13:04.000 Because you do know that 75 million people marked off Donald Trump back in November.
00:13:10.000 That's a lot of people.
00:13:12.000 More than anybody else.
00:13:13.000 Again, here's the divide: Are you the president of the Democrat Party or are you the president of the country?
00:13:19.000 Donald Trump made overtures, specific outreaches to Democrats, hosting Van Jones in the White House, criminal justice reform.
00:13:30.000 I was once at an event and I saw Mitt Romney at the White House as a senator while he was trying to impeach the president.
00:13:38.000 President Trump did this time and time again.
00:13:40.000 Now, again, I'm not saying that Joe Biden hasn't done it.
00:13:43.000 We're a day into it.
00:13:45.000 But his language is not exactly showing us that or foreshadowing that he is going to be doing anything like this anytime soon.
00:13:54.000 No, absolutely not.
00:13:56.000 Again, I think this idea of unity versus freedom, this is a juxtaposition.
00:14:03.000 They want unity.
00:14:04.000 They don't want freedom.
00:14:05.000 They don't want freedom to disagree.
00:14:07.000 Because if you disagree with the Democrats and the left and the establishment media right now, they look at it as spreading disinformation.
00:14:15.000 And they look at it as spreading lies.
00:14:19.000 So they keep referencing.
00:14:20.000 If you listen to their language very quickly, they keep saying, oh, we're going back to the truth.
00:14:24.000 We're going to stop disinformation.
00:14:25.000 We're going to attack disinformation.
00:14:27.000 And the truth is, the real truth is that they just don't like people that disagree with them.
00:14:32.000 They don't like people that have a different value.
00:14:34.000 Well, it's a threat to their power.
00:14:35.000 Let's go to Cut 96, where Peter Doocy says, well, how are you going to impeach a president while also doing this unity thing, Cut 96?
00:14:44.000 Does he think that Nancy Plosi and Chuck Schumer should drop a potentially divisive Senate impeachment trial?
00:14:52.000 Well, he spoke today, as you all saw, about unity in his inaugural address.
00:14:58.000 Just like the American people can, the Senate can also multitask and they can do their constitutional duty while continuing to conduct the business of the American people.
00:15:10.000 And he's going to leave the mechanics, the timing, and the specifics of how Congress moves forward on impeachment to them.
00:15:17.000 Nothing was answered in that answer.
00:15:18.000 I think that was a wonderful act of not answering.
00:15:22.000 It's actually pretty impressive.
00:15:23.000 That was a 25 seconds.
00:15:26.000 I think of that as the low point of the entire press briefing.
00:15:30.000 And, you know, of course, the one hostile media member of the media in there, and Peter Doocy is a really nice guy.
00:15:37.000 He's not going to attack her or bite her or anything.
00:15:39.000 But what I mean is he's going to ask actual questions that we want to know here on the right of center.
00:15:45.000 Will Saki ever have a Jim Acosta?
00:15:47.000 No.
00:15:47.000 No, of course not.
00:15:48.000 I mean, you know, listen, there was, again, one person asked a question about abortion, and she goes, oh, Joe Biden's a devout Catholic, and he went to Mass this morning.
00:15:56.000 Like, as if that answered the question.
00:15:58.000 Does not answer the question about how he supports the abortion.
00:16:01.000 But show some leadership.
00:16:02.000 Show some leadership.
00:16:03.000 Say that he's the leader of the party, and yeah, he's going to tell him to stand down for the sake of the country.
00:16:07.000 That's right.
00:16:13.000 When running a business, HR issues can absolutely kill you.

00:17:13.000 What can Biden do to heal the country?
00:17:15.000 Well, Politico has some ideas that are laughable at best.
00:17:18.000 One of them is actually two of them are okay.
00:17:20.000 The rest are unbelievable.
00:17:21.000 And they're actually really worth looking at.
00:17:25.000 Because this is where the left thinks they can unite the country.
00:17:27.000 So this is the most important thing.
00:17:28.000 So, okay, Biden, you want to unite the country?
00:17:30.000 How do you want to do it?
00:17:30.000 Our idea was basically just talk to us and admit 75 million people are not a domestic enemy.
00:17:37.000 First idea.
00:17:38.000 Number one, root out extremism in the military ranks.
00:17:43.000 Goes through here and it says that we need extra screening for people in the military.
00:17:46.000 This is by, it's like a series of essays.
00:17:49.000 This one's by Heidi Beitrich and someone Singh.
00:17:53.000 Two dozen thinkers, according to Politico.
00:17:55.000 Here's the other one.
00:17:56.000 Reaff the First Amendment. 1.00
00:17:57.000 I agree with this one.
00:17:58.000 It says that Biden needs a sista solja moment.
00:18:02.000 That's what it says, word for word.
00:18:03.000 The greatest threat to his administration won't be Republicans in Congress to Donald Trump, loyalists, or loyalists outside of Washington.
00:18:10.000 It will be from the hard left pushing him into an illiberal policy after another.
00:18:14.000 They are loud and influential, yes, but a whole lot of centrist liberals who abhor Trump are queasy as they watch BLM and other militants bullying corporations, university banks, and stores to go all out anti-racist and purge the right.
00:18:26.000 This is smart.
00:18:27.000 This guy is Mark Bowerlin, editor at First Things.
00:18:30.000 Very, very smart.
00:18:31.000 Okay, this is where it starts to get into some of these other ideas.
00:18:34.000 A White House task force on white supremacy.
00:18:37.000 Goodness gracious.
00:18:38.000 Call out new threats to freedom in America, like racial injustice.
00:18:42.000 Okay.
00:18:43.000 A civil communication corps.
00:18:45.000 I don't even know what that would mean.
00:18:47.000 I read this guy's essay.
00:18:48.000 It's really not very specific.
00:18:50.000 Punish politicians who lie.
00:18:52.000 I wonder which ones would actually get punished.
00:18:55.000 Punish.
00:18:55.000 The word punish.
00:18:56.000 Punish.
00:18:57.000 Update national standards for U.S. history, such as the integration of Indigenous people, studies, Black Lives Matter 1619 project.
00:19:04.000 Invest in digital platforms.
00:19:06.000 I agree with that one.
00:19:07.000 Rebuild a shared reality, which means that we must have fact checkers in every single form of American society.
00:19:16.000 A new Voting Rights Act, because the last one has been so terrible, saying that we need a new compromise and commission that will change the way we vote in this country.
00:19:24.000 Basically, arguing for universal voting, vote by mail.
00:19:27.000 A truth and reconciliation commission, not the one that you might think, but one that can help us heal through our wounds of racial injustice.
00:19:36.000 There is increase access to affordable housing.
00:19:39.000 And this is from Politico.
00:19:40.000 These ideas that they have to unify the country, which of course they're working in tandem with people in the Biden administration.
00:19:46.000 Investigate Trump's treatments of immigrants.
00:19:48.000 Right.
00:19:48.000 Yeah, let's just continue to investigate it.
00:19:50.000 Reparations for black Americans. 1.00
00:19:52.000 Will Kamala Harris have to pay the reparations because her ancestors owned slaves?
00:19:56.000 Well, she's also married to a white gentleman.
00:19:59.000 So I don't know.
00:20:00.000 I don't know how they're going to do that.
00:20:01.000 A week of national mourning for COVID victims.
00:20:03.000 That's fine.
00:20:04.000 A push for better masks.
00:20:06.000 Okay.
00:20:06.000 Nonpartisan, no-nonsense virus strategy.
00:20:11.000 Again, President Trump's virus strategy was fine.
00:20:13.000 It was terrific.
00:20:14.000 Lower drug prices for the pandemic and beyond, something that President Trump actually did.
00:20:17.000 A 21st-century WPA.
00:20:19.000 I'm not exactly sure what that is.
00:20:22.000 It really doesn't even say what the acronym is.
00:20:25.000 Works progress administration.
00:20:27.000 American-made pharmaceuticals.
00:20:28.000 I agree with that one.
00:20:29.000 And then finally, reinvest in the working class.
00:20:31.000 So that's what their idea of unity is.
00:20:33.000 Now, the one I really think is interesting that I want to focus on is make sure we protect the rights of speech for all Americans.
00:20:43.000 Yeah, I think we could all agree with that, actually.
00:20:45.000 And I do, I just, sorry, Charlie, I just want to point out a SISTA soldier moment.
00:20:50.000 I had to look it up because you brought it up.
00:20:52.000 I didn't bring it up.
00:20:52.000 I was reading the policy.
00:20:53.000 I mean, yeah, what a moment.
00:20:54.000 Exactly.
00:20:55.000 But it's a politician's calculated public repudiation of an extremist person statement or group that is perceived to have some association with the politicians' own party.
00:21:06.000 Oh, there you go.
00:21:06.000 Okay.
00:21:07.000 So it would be a sista soldier moment would be the Democrats saying Antifa is bad, denouncing Antifa.
00:21:13.000 Biden has federal troops going after Antifa.
00:21:15.000 So I guess that's perfectly allowed right now.
00:21:18.000 So nothing says unifying the country like a Senate trial.
00:21:21.000 Let's go to Cut 97, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer saying that there will be a trial.
00:21:26.000 Cut 97.
00:21:27.000 Speaker Pelosi will determine when she will send the articles over.
00:21:32.000 Leader McConnell and I are trying to come up with a bipartisan agreement on how to conduct the trial.
00:21:39.000 But make no mistake about it.
00:21:41.000 There will be a trial.
00:21:43.000 There will be a vote up or down on whether to convict the president.
00:21:46.000 I believe he should be convicted.
00:21:49.000 And that is the Senate Majority Leader who has a 50-50 tie in the U.S. Senate.
00:21:53.000 Yeah, I couldn't disagree more, and it's just really sad.
00:21:57.000 I mean, it's not going to happen.
00:21:58.000 I genuinely don't believe he's going to get convicted.
00:22:00.000 You might have McConnell.
00:22:02.000 You might have Romney.
00:22:03.000 You might have Claire McCaskill.
00:22:08.000 My goodness. 1.00
00:22:08.000 Murkowski. 1.00
00:22:10.000 You might have Sass.
00:22:11.000 I think you get to 55 votes.
00:22:13.000 I think you get to 55, 56 votes.
00:22:16.000 You're going to be 40%.
00:22:17.000 Well, I think what's going to happen, though, well, you need 66 to convict yourself.
00:22:20.000 Oh, is it two-thirds?
00:22:21.000 I think it's 236.
00:22:22.000 But I think what you'll have is a bunch of Republicans that give anti-Trump speeches, but they say the fact we're even doing impeachment is wrong, so we're voting against the props.
00:22:29.000 They're going to try and split the baby, which is going to upset the base.
00:22:32.000 And frankly, it's going to put a target on their back.
00:22:34.000 You want to divide the country, go and peach a guy who's on the back nine in Mar-a-Lago or Trump National.
00:22:39.000 By the way, his popularity is still extraordinarily high.
00:22:43.000 Yes.
00:22:43.000 No, even yes.
00:22:44.000 But even with Raspberry Pi, it's like 48%.
00:22:47.000 So Congressman Brad Schneider is from Illinois 10th Congressional District.
00:22:51.000 He took Congressman Bob Dold, D with an E, a D, not an E.
00:22:55.000 I worked on his campaign way back when, seat, and he's held it ever since.
00:22:59.000 He was asked bluntly, would you like to see more monitoring of radical domestic movements?
00:23:03.000 Play tape.
00:23:05.000 Would you like to see more monitoring of radical domestic movements?
00:23:10.000 Well, the short answer is yes.
00:23:12.000 That's the purpose of this bill.
00:23:14.000 Well, AOC, I hate to break it to you.
00:23:16.000 You're getting monitored.
00:23:18.000 Yeah, and we're about to use your taxpayer to the best.
00:23:22.000 Oh, by the way, it says radical.
00:23:23.000 It doesn't even say insurgent.
00:23:24.000 I think we all know what it means, Charlie.
00:23:26.000 No, no, but it's very important that we go through.
00:23:28.000 Language matters, right?
00:23:29.000 Remember, they've been beating with us for four years.
00:23:32.000 Words matter, Charlie.
00:23:33.000 Words matter.
00:23:34.000 Just look at his Twitter feed.
00:23:35.000 I can't. 1.00
00:23:36.000 Only because you're a white extremist, Charlie. 1.00
00:23:39.000 This is the difference. 0.95
00:23:41.000 So, Brad Schneider is trying to put forward this new Patriot Act.
00:23:46.000 And so, here's Joe Biden saying on Cut 72: If you're ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone.
00:23:53.000 I promise I will fire you on the spot, on the spot.
00:23:55.000 No ifs, and buts.
00:23:59.000 This was some of his remarks at the White House talking to his staff.
00:24:03.000 And I wonder if Joe Biden thinks the same about Trump supporters.
00:24:06.000 Play 72.
00:24:07.000 If you're ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone.
00:24:14.000 I promise you I will fire you on the spot.
00:24:17.000 On the spot.
00:24:19.000 No if, ands, or buts.
00:24:22.000 Everybody, everybody is entirely treated with decency.
00:24:27.000 Everyone's entitled to be treated with decency.
00:24:29.000 I think that's what he was trying to say.
00:24:31.000 We have to get used to this new kind of way of thinking.
00:24:33.000 You have to translate.
00:24:34.000 Joe Biden is president.
00:24:35.000 You just have to kind of just blur it all together, but that's okay.
00:24:39.000 And so I wonder if Joe Biden thinks that Trump supporters need to be treated with decency.
00:24:45.000 He has yet to address this head on.
00:24:47.000 And all we're asking for is a little bit of nuance, Joe Biden.
00:24:50.000 Just a little bit.
00:24:51.000 Just the same nuance, by the way, that President Donald Trump afforded to the people over the summer when President Donald Trump said, a lot of people are peacefully protesting, and I honor your right to peacefully protest, but violence will never be tolerated.
00:25:04.000 That was nuanced.
00:25:05.000 He said that word for word over the summer.
00:25:07.000 In fact, the day after, this is the day after Joe Biden got sworn in, right?
00:25:12.000 Are there massive protests right now in the streets of anywhere?
00:25:16.000 No.
00:25:17.000 Are there massive backlash?
00:25:19.000 No, I could tell you what was happening, though.
00:25:21.000 The day after Donald Trump won the presidency, took the office.
00:25:26.000 Madonna went to Washington, D.C., and she said, I have thought about blowing up the White House.
00:25:33.000 That was her idea of unity.
00:25:36.000 In other news, Washington, D.C.'s mayor has just amazingly, stunningly decided to lift the ban on indoor dining.
00:25:45.000 You know, what's interesting about this, though. 1.00
00:25:47.000 They think you're stupid. 1.00
00:25:48.000 I hope you know that, right? 1.00
00:25:49.000 I know.
00:25:50.000 What's interesting about this, though, is right after the election, things got worse, not better.
00:25:54.000 Remember?
00:25:55.000 And a lot of people were talking about, oh, well, we missed that one because we all hypothesized that it was going to get better.
00:26:03.000 The pandemic was going to go away.
00:26:05.000 But they waited.
00:26:06.000 They waited till he waited office.
00:26:07.000 Yeah, till he took office.
00:26:09.000 And now, what have we heard?
00:26:10.000 We've heard that Lori Lightfoot, the mayor of Chicago, is saying, because you guys are all breaking the rules, we need to make it legal again to eat indoors in Chicago so that we can actually have some mitigation efforts in place.
00:26:22.000 You guys are breaking the law anyways, essentially.
00:26:24.000 We're going to make you come out in the open.
00:26:26.000 What did you hear from Governor Cuomo, New York?
00:26:29.000 That we have to do this so we have something to return to.
00:26:33.000 Rumor has it that the same thing you're going to hear out of California.
00:26:36.000 Listen, we hope that life does go back to normal, but this is so transparently politically motivated.
00:26:42.000 They've been using the pandemic in 10 different ways to hurt the American people.
00:26:47.000 It should disgust all of us.
00:26:48.000 And it's so transparent.
00:26:50.000 It's painful.
00:26:51.000 And guess what?
00:26:51.000 The media is not going to talk about it.
00:26:53.000 The media is not going to hold them to account.
00:26:55.000 No.
00:26:55.000 And so what the Democrats have done kind of brilliantly is that people don't actually agree with Democrat policies.
00:27:01.000 Don't even agree with Democrat ideas.
00:27:02.000 So right.
00:27:02.000 Most people are Democrats because they're afraid they're going to be called a racist.
00:27:05.000 That's why they're Democrats.
00:27:06.000 They're like, well, I'm not a racist, therefore I'm a Democrat, which is the opposite of the roots of the Democrat Party and opposite of actually their viewpoints on race.
00:27:13.000 Jason Whitlock has talked about this and he compared BLM Incorporated to KKK, Cut 80. 0.79
00:27:18.000 Well, I compare Black Lives Matter to the KKK. 0.97
00:27:23.000 I really do.
00:27:24.000 And some people don't understand it.
00:27:26.000 But if you go back to the 1860s, after the Emancipation Proclamation, the KKK was started and it was the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party.
00:27:38.000 And what's the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party right now? 0.55
00:27:42.000 Black Lives Matter and Antifa.
00:27:44.000 That's right.
00:27:45.000 And so if you step out of line, they're going to send BLM Incorporated after you.
00:27:50.000 They will send Antifa after you.
00:27:53.000 If you do not subscribe to every single Democrat policy and allow them to be in control and in charge of everything forever, we are going to ruin your life.
00:28:02.000 Yeah, and what I love about this segment is that it takes a guy like Whitlock to speak that kind of truth because it's a bold thing to say, especially on national television.
00:28:10.000 But I love how fearless he was in saying it.
00:28:13.000 And in the segment just before, you hear them talking about faith and how it's actually our faith.
00:28:19.000 And as you and I, Charlie, are evangelical Christians.
00:28:22.000 It's our faith that informs the fact that we see human beings for their decisions, for their character.
00:28:30.000 We do not look at immutable characteristics and judge that person for their worth.
00:28:36.000 It's just not something our faith would allow us to do because all are made in the image and likeness of God.
00:28:41.000 And so we value each human the same.
00:28:43.000 And what Jason Whitlock and Tucker were talking about is how it's actually a secularist, anti-theist view that would look at somebody and then create this construct of value based on skin color.
00:28:57.000 We just don't do it on the right.
00:28:58.000 Or at least we shouldn't.
00:28:59.000 And those that are not part of the right.
00:29:02.000 That's the point.
00:29:03.000 They're identitarians that are on the fringe and they do their own thing that isn't part of the decent conservative.
00:29:09.000 It's distorted and corrupted ideologies.
00:29:11.000 Absolutely.
00:29:12.000 That's exactly right.
00:29:13.000 And so Joe Biden has an opportunity in front of him.
00:29:17.000 Joe Biden could be the president of the country or he could be the president of the Democrat Party.
00:29:20.000 To be the president of the country, he has to start courting and talking to Trump voters.
00:29:26.000 He has to start courting and talking to grassroots conservatives.
00:29:29.000 And he can disarm a lot of the opposition if he does that.
00:29:32.000 And actually, it's in his political interest to do that.
00:29:34.000 But if he decides to dig in and say, no, half the country is mine, half the country is not, that is one of the most divisive, not unifying things a president could possibly do.
00:29:46.000 We got some questions here.
00:29:48.000 You guys have emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:29:50.000 What is the difference between equity and equality?
00:29:52.000 I want to dive into that.
00:29:53.000 Andrew found a really good definition that I think is a helpful starting point.
00:29:57.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:30:00.000 Equality versus equity.
00:30:01.000 A lot of people think that it means the same thing.
00:30:03.000 And in this new administration, you are going to hear it.
00:30:06.000 You're going to hear equity a whole lot more than you're going to hear equality.
00:30:09.000 And there's a reason why.
00:30:11.000 The difference between equality and equity is that although both promote fairness, equality achieves this through treating everybody the same, regardless of need.
00:30:23.000 So same under the law.
00:30:25.000 We are all God's children.
00:30:26.000 All have the same value.
00:30:28.000 Justice is blind.
00:30:31.000 Equity, on the other hand, achieves this through treating people differently dependent on need.
00:30:36.000 So equality is treating people the same.
00:30:39.000 Equity is treating people differently based on need.
00:30:42.000 And so there's a couple different ways to look at this.
00:30:44.000 And we'll get a picture up on the live stream of how the left tries to frame equity versus equality.
00:30:49.000 And one of the, look, there's equality under the law, which is moral and is necessary.
00:30:54.000 Then there's equality of opportunity, which is moral and admirable, hard to achieve, but we should always try to get towards it.
00:31:00.000 Then there is equity, which is equal outcome, or try to redistribute outcomes to try to make everyone's outcome the same.
00:31:07.000 That is immoral and impossible to achieve.
00:31:10.000 And this is an important distinction because equality under the law, first and foremost, is the most important thing that we have in a civil and free society.
00:31:18.000 That the law should treat everyone the same, regardless of your skin color, regardless where you come from, regardless of your political views or your religious views.
00:31:27.000 That everyone should have the same experience through the judicial system or through at least the application of the law.
00:31:35.000 Now, that is not always the case.
00:31:37.000 Sometimes you can get really good lawyers.
00:31:39.000 Sometimes you can get off on things.
00:31:40.000 Sometimes people that don't have as much money do not have the same experience in the judicial system as someone that does.
00:31:45.000 However, equality of the law, the pursuit of that ideal has always made America a different country, a better country, and a more moral country.
00:31:54.000 Equality of opportunity would be trying to advocate for school choice programs, trying to rebuild the American family, trying to say we want people to have a more equal starting point.
00:32:03.000 Equity, though, would be redistributing people's goods, services, and wealth to try to have a desired outcome. 0.58
00:32:10.000 So, for example, they would say, you know, the average black income in the country is less than the average white income.
00:32:16.000 The only thing that could possibly explain that is bitter, awful southern-style segregation racism.
00:32:22.000 Therefore, we must redistribute via reparations or some other programs to try to make that right, try to right that wrong.
00:32:30.000 Never even talking about reconstructing the American family, any of these different sorts of aspects.
00:32:34.000 And the problem with equity is that you'll never end.
00:32:38.000 There'll be a never-ending list of trying to redistribute and trying to, quite honestly, find a group that believes that they are in need of somebody else's stuff and wealth.
00:32:51.000 Yeah, it fuels grievance, the grievance industry.
00:32:54.000 The mobilization of grievances is what the left does today.
00:32:57.000 Well, they need it.
00:32:58.000 They actually need it for you to think that their policies make any sense.
00:33:01.000 Because without it, if you just say, listen, under the Trump economy, it was actually the most widespread economic boom in generations.
00:33:10.000 The lowest 10%, their wages were actually growing at a faster clip than the top 10% under the Trump economy.
00:33:17.000 So their whole grievance industry was getting drowned out by real results of the free market.
00:33:21.000 Nevertheless, they have to tell you that this system isn't working right for this group of people.
00:33:27.000 Therefore, you need equity.
00:33:28.000 And there is this little picture.
00:33:31.000 This is one of the images the left uses to promote its ideas.
00:33:33.000 They say, look, if you just give everybody the same, the tall person's going to be able to see the game and the short person won't.
00:33:38.000 So what we have to do is we have to give two crates to the little short guy on the right so he can see the game too.
00:33:44.000 That's not so bad, is it?
00:33:46.000 Everybody pays their fair share and everybody gets to watch the game.
00:33:49.000 The problem is, is that there's no way to fairly distribute.
00:33:52.000 Everybody will always have different grievances.
00:33:54.000 And it's actually an idea rooted in cultural Marxism.
00:33:57.000 That's right.
00:33:58.000 It will be a never-ending carousel of the mobilization of grievances.
00:34:01.000 And plus the guy that has the extra step up, did he work for it?
00:34:05.000 Did he work his way through school for it?
00:34:07.000 Did he sacrifice for it?
00:34:08.000 Did he save for it?
00:34:10.000 And are there other reasons why someone might be able to do it?
00:34:12.000 So that kind of picture is an overly simplified, quite honestly childish way to try to craft public policy.
00:34:19.000 Oh, but that's how they do it.
00:34:20.000 That's how they convert people is with these overly simplified ways that say, oh, I want everybody to watch the game.
00:34:25.000 That makes sense to me.
00:34:27.000 That's not such a big deal.
00:34:28.000 But the problem is it doesn't work nearly that clean in real life.
00:34:32.000 Right.
00:34:32.000 And if you want the complete and total redistribution of outcomes, you are going to live in a very dark and quite honestly boring society where no one is incentivized to create, take risks, or aspire to be a better person.
