00:00:41.000Christina from North Carolina, Katie from California, Karen from New Jersey, Hulda from Idaho, Janine from Montana, and Lark from Colorado, charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:00:54.000We will see you, Tucker Carlson, Kaylee McEniny, Jesse Waters, Greg Gutfeld, Pete Hegseth, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr., Rand Paul, and so many other speakers.
00:01:40.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:03.000Caught 24, a couple minutes of Kyle and I chatting back and forth.
00:03:07.000And I just want to say this: that Kyle Rittenhouse was supposed to be in jail if the state had their way with a motivated prosecution, which an activist press trying to destroy him and crush him.
00:03:24.000Why is it that a teenager from the suburbs of Chicago represented such a threat to the American ruling class?
00:03:33.000And the answer was, of course, this was not about him.
00:03:36.000This is about self-defense, about due process, about the rule of law, about all the themes we've seen across the country found its way into a courtroom with an 18-year-old, Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:04:05.000Well, when I first realized it was probably in December of 2020 when I realized, okay, this is getting pretty big.
00:04:11.000All these media personalities are talking about it and all the people who don't agree with me or agree with the right to self-defense are making up these things, such as Annika Spear.
00:04:49.000I may have been one of the loudest voices or louder voices out there, but there were so many people.
00:04:55.000And I, I mean, I wish maybe, you know, someday if I get a chance, you know, I could show you so many people are emailing me and messaging me.
00:05:07.000I had a son was in a similar thing and like all these different stories and just complete outpouring of support because I think a lot of people looked at it as a situation of, and, you know, I said this too, they, you know, people were saying, oh, should he shouldn't have been there, right?
00:05:24.000But the actual answer is that none of them should have been there.
00:05:27.000None of the rioters should have been there.
00:05:29.000The mob shouldn't have been there, right?
00:05:31.000We should have safety in our communities.
00:05:34.000This great little town of Kenosha that it was so nice to be able to go visit should never have to experience that and nobody should because our government should be the one that's actually protecting people.
00:05:48.000And so you had these two courts and obviously you were most focused about, I don't know, like I'll win the court of public opinion later.
00:08:12.000This goes to show that this is a very important point.
00:08:14.000The Northeast bias of the news media, because when you cross from New York to New Jersey, you go through a tunnel or you go through a bridge or go over a bridge, right?
00:08:23.000You really can't go from New York to New Jersey.
00:08:25.000I'm trying to think, at least in Manhattan, yeah, unless going through a tunnel or a bridge.
00:08:29.000Like in the Midwest, you have to go into Wisconsin, you're like, wait, I just crossed state lines?
00:08:58.000You're the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and you literally tweet that he crossed state lines.
00:09:06.000And so now there's some sort of federal jurisdiction.
00:09:10.000Come on, you're the chairman, you're a congressman, and you can't get that right.
00:09:17.000So, do you believe it's a situation where they want only the government to have that kind of monopoly on violence to be able to use guns so that it essentially eviscerates the Second Amendment?
00:09:32.000Well, I think that's getting into the weeds on the issue, besides the fact that I believe from the very start that it has always been about the gun.
00:09:44.000It wasn't about the right of self-defense, which it became about because that's what it was about.
00:12:53.000Is racism only possible by certain skin colors?
00:12:56.000Our entire national discourse is hyper-focused on race, unnecessarily so.
00:13:02.000We have a supply and demand problem with race in America.
00:13:05.000We have an incredible demand to try to find that racism is around every corner, yet there's such a low supply that we try to find racism where it doesn't exist and actually ignore it where it does legitimately exist.
00:13:17.000For example, we call people like Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist racist, not we, but the media does, based solely on the color of his skin and stereotyping.
00:13:26.000You see, racism is rooted in this belief of generalizing all into one.
00:13:34.000Generalizing a group into one sentence.
00:13:39.000No capacity for nuance, individuality, consciousness, reason.
00:13:51.000Now, you must understand, prior to the creation of the West or prior to the creation of the idea of a citizen, tribes is really the only way that human beings knew how to do government.
00:14:19.000Because in some ways, the anti-racists, who are actually the racists and the bigots, they say that if we all just had people that were alike, that would get rid of most of the conflicts.
00:14:33.000Well, then, why did Mao kill his own people?
00:14:42.000Why did the Aztecs sacrifice hundreds of thousands of children of their own people?
00:14:46.000This idea that if you're all homogeneous, that necessarily makes conflict go away is insane.
00:14:53.000There's no historical precedent for that whatsoever.
00:14:56.000Now, racism is something that I'm exhausted talking about, quite honestly.
00:15:02.000But I've said this openly, and I'll say this again: that a white person can be racist against a black person, and a black person can be racist against a white person.
00:15:12.000But the conventional orthodoxy that dominates public opinion, that dominates Ibram X. Kendi and Maya D'Anno, not Maya D'Angelo, Robin D'Angelo, and Harry Rogers and Tahanisi Coates is black people cannot be racist.
00:15:32.000So there is a, there's this Twitter group, and we don't know if they were, I don't think they were joking, right, Andrew?
00:15:42.000And I don't know, we don't know who these people are.
00:15:45.000We don't know if they were trying to provoke attention, but just the fact that this is being said on social media, and of course, ignored by the activist press is cause for publicity.
00:18:14.000Internet privacy is extremely important.
00:18:16.000New news out shows that Google has been colluding with the federal government to hand over your data if you might have searched something wrong into the search bar.
00:18:27.000So what are you doing to protect your search history?
00:18:30.000Well, this is why you need ExpressVPN.
00:18:33.000Using the internet without ExpressVPN is like going to the bathroom and not closing the door.
00:19:31.000Express VPN for me has been a game changer to be able to know that the tech companies or the government, they have to go through a whole nother barrier to try to spy on us.
00:19:43.000We see with the new announcements out of DC.
00:19:45.000If you spoke at a school board meeting lately, you better get a VPN.
00:19:48.000Secure your online activity by visiting expressvpn.com/slash Charlie today.
00:20:08.000So, as I spent some time with Kyle, I realize more and more that this is a young man who got abruptly thrown into this situation without ever asking for it.
00:20:24.000And it really was a question about the rule of law.
00:20:28.000It was a question of whether or not we are going to have a system that allows the presumption of innocence, checks and balances, that allows due process to have proper and complete representation.
00:20:47.000The Constitution is the greatest political document ever written because it recognizes that people in the state of nature are deserving of the right to speak and defend themselves against a potentially aggressive prosecutorial state.
00:21:08.000You see, the state being a potential weapon and a potential, let's say, tool of the collectivists and of the ruling class structure before us, it's incredibly important that we have a system.
00:21:30.000And Judge Schroeder was definitely one of the, you know, most of the best examples of this, that slows that process down.
00:21:40.000If you are going to deprive somebody of their rights, if you are going to take someone's rights away, you must go through a process that is checked and balanced.
00:21:56.000You see, one of the things that I think people are missing about the Kyle Rittenhouse drama is that it was an ultimate bottom-up type conclusion.
00:22:12.000It's very obvious, but the Rittenhouse verdict is another example of how the Constitution gives power to we the people via a jury.
00:22:25.000It's another example of the grassroots bottom-up, just like school boards, audits, and state board elections.
00:22:31.000You see, the reason why Kyle Rittenhouse is free and was able to have In-N-Out Burger with us yesterday, a lot of In-N Out Burger, by the way.
00:22:38.000We love In N Out Burger here at the Charlie Kirk show and at Turning Point USA.
00:22:43.000Good Christians that own In-N Out Burger.
00:22:45.000The reason why we were able to do that is because the check against Binger, against Lunchbox, against Joy Reed, against the Department of Justice or whatever is you.
00:22:59.000You can stack a jury, you can rig it in a county that's very biased, but it does make it harder for the people that wish to see Kyle Rittenhouse in solitary confinement with handcuffs and behind bars to be permanently there.
00:23:19.000I think that's a component of the Rittenhouse saga that was missed on most people.
00:23:24.000Most people were just focused simply on he defended himself, he shouldn't go to jail.
00:23:56.000You have to go in front of a judge, in front of a jury.
00:23:58.000Contrast that with what we are seeing the fourth branch of government do via Anthony Fauci, via the CDC, via the FDA, where you have, or even what you're seeing with public education or what's happening with the military, there is no citizen-led jury that's all of a sudden to say, Fauci, you're out of line.
00:24:23.000Where's the citizen-led jury that goes and votes and says, you know what?
00:24:28.000We're not going to vaccinate people against their will.
00:24:31.000You see, the founders thought they put that into place via a permanent check and balance of the legislature.
00:24:42.000The problem with the legislature is that it stopped being a citizen-led legislature when we decided to get and implement the direct election of senators in the 17th Amendment and stopped being in a true check and balance from the state on the federal government.
00:25:00.000You see, our system is unlike any other country's.
00:25:03.000So I'm going to play Cut 23, Kyle Rittenhouse, but I want you to think about this.
00:25:08.000The same sort of energy of parents showing up at school board meetings, of audits, of we the people rising up.
00:25:16.000Kyle Rittenhouse had one last opportunity to be free, and it was his fellow countrymen.
00:25:23.000It was the fellow citizen, and they made the right choice.
00:25:28.000While growing up, my mom was a single mother working as a CNA at a nursing home, helping old people, and inspired me to start helping people wanting to go to nursing school, becoming a lifeguard, becoming a firefighter EMT cadet and a police explorer.
00:25:42.000Growing up, what did you want to be when you got older?
00:25:46.000Growing up, I wanted to be a police officer, to be able to help people and help people when they're having bad days because cops see people on their worst days.
00:25:56.000Now, Arizona State University is kind of dancing around whether or not they want to have Kyle Rittenhouse attend their college.
00:26:36.000As we celebrate the Christmas season, we often pause to consider our many blessings.
00:26:40.000Hillsdale College wishes to thank you for standing with them as they celebrate 177 years of blessings.
00:26:47.000Since 1844, Hillsdale has held fast to their mission to provide the kind of education essential to providing free government.
00:26:55.000And for decades, the college has extended its educational mission on behalf of liberty through a variety of outreach programs.
00:27:02.000Perhaps you've received Imprimus for free every month or have taken one of the Hillsdale's excellent free online courses or have attended one of Hillsdale's free regional events.
00:27:11.000Hillsdale's online courses are amazing, everybody.
00:27:14.000I am right now almost done with Victor Davis Hansen's The Dying of the American Citizen.
00:27:23.000You know of Hillsdale's refusal to take any money from the government.
00:27:28.000This independence allows the college, which in Greek means partnership, to focus on promoting its core purpose, learning, character, which means tattoo, imprint, faith, and freedom without government interference.
00:27:43.000At no time in our nation's history has there been a greater need for the kind of classical liberal arts education that Hillsdale offers on its campus and nationwide.
00:27:53.000So during this season of blessing, Hillsdale thanks you for their partnership in extending its mission to the country.
00:28:01.000Check out Hillsdale College, All Things Hillsdale, take their online courses, learn about your country.
00:28:06.000It's charlie4hillsdale.com, all free of charge.
00:30:31.000And so, as they're trying to make a big argument, the mosaic of systemic racism must be little tiles of white people doing bad things.
00:30:42.000Tile here, tile there, Ted Kaczynski, Eric Rudolph, Aurora shooter, Columbine shooter, the Charlottesville incident.
00:30:52.000So, they put all these little tiles together because they want it when you step backwards to look at this massive mosaic of inputs and saying, oh my goodness, America is systemically racist.
00:31:02.000But what they refuse to put on their mosaic is a story of a black supremacist killing six people at a Christmas parade.
00:31:14.000They're like, no, no, no, that doesn't fit.
00:31:46.000And MyPillow doesn't have their box stores anymore, so we got to help them out.
00:31:49.000And part of them being canceled, they want to give you the lowest price yet.
00:31:53.000So you can get the lowest price in the history of MyPillow for their classic standard MyPillow regularly, $69.98, now only $19.98 with the promo code.
00:32:03.000They also have queen size, regularly $79.98 and $24.98 with a promo code or king size, usually $89.98, only $29.98 with your promo code.
00:32:52.000But the best way to demonstrate what the narrative actually is is a distillation or a combination of multiple inputs to try to have a bigger picture.
00:33:05.000So multiple little stories that confirm something bigger.
00:33:11.000So it could be a drumbeat story that was one after the other of, okay, we're going to have a thousand stories to try to prove that Donald Trump is corrupt or 500 stories to prove that Donald Trump is inept.
00:33:23.000And then when you look back at it, you're like the whole picture, the whole painting shows that.
00:33:28.000When you actually see this picture, this painting, I should say, in a museum, what's so fascinating about it is that this painting was done as a collection of hundreds of thousands of little dots.
00:33:42.000So little dots, one after the other, you might not notice it if you're just going straight up and you're just zooming in on it and you're squinting on it.
00:33:52.000But the further and further you back up, you realize that those dots were actually there to be created a bigger picture.
00:33:59.000Now, I use the mosaic example, and this is exactly what the media does.
00:34:03.000So everything the media does day by day by day is adding a couple pieces of tile, adding a couple little dots.
00:34:10.000Now, you might not notice it while it's happening, and sometimes it takes a trained eye, but they rarely ever allow a discolored tile or they rarely ever allow an off-colored series of dots to come into the mosaic, the tapestry, the piece of art that they're trying to create.
00:34:33.000Because what they're trying to do, they're trying to create a visual spectacle that when you look at the news cycle, when you look at what's happening in front of you, you're like, oh, well, all those little tiles show to me that show me America's systemically racist.
00:34:51.000Look, we have a whole pile of stuff that shows the opposite.
00:34:54.000You see, and the Waukesha story is a massive disruption in the picture they're trying to paint.
00:35:06.000It is a glitch in the narrative, in the mosaic.
00:35:12.000The deeper point is this, is that you must realize that every story they're covering or they're not covering is all about painting the mosaic that confirms what they actually want for the country.
00:35:25.000Why do they want you to try to believe America is systemically racist?
00:35:28.000Why do they want you to believe that black people are being hunted down in the streets?
00:35:32.000Why do they want you to believe that we must vaccinate everyone?
00:35:35.000Because it fits their political narrative.
00:35:38.000So, what they intentionally do is remove the stories they don't want to talk about and they confirm the ones they want to talk about.
00:35:44.000But this, a couple of the ones that have happened, especially in the last couple of days, Rittenhouse acquittal, Waukesha massacre, and the Maxwell trial, those three in particular, they want nothing to do with.
00:36:14.000Instead, they want it to be strictly the type and end goal that they want to paint.
00:36:19.000They want you to zoom out from the collection of dots, from the tiles put together, and look at their manufactured artificial picture and say, oh, wow, you are right.
00:36:30.000Everything CNN says means that we need to give the left more power.
00:36:34.000The reality is the opposite, and they're withholding those from the broader cultural and news media mosaic that you consume every single day.
00:36:46.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
