00:00:43.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:53.000So there's a very fascinating chart here that I believe is one of the reasons why America is becoming significantly less free.
00:02:00.000Modern families and how households have changed since the 1970s.
00:02:03.000So for example, I'll narrate this and then we'll put it up on screen.
00:02:08.000The percentage of 25 to 34 year olds living with a spouse in the United States in the 1970s, 82% of 25 to 34-year-olds were living with a spouse.
00:02:44.000But in addition, cohabitation has increased.
00:02:46.000Living with an unmarried partner, 17% of young people are living with an unmarried partner, whereas that number was about 1% in the 1970s.
00:02:55.00010% of people are just living alone, whereas in 1970, it was 5%.
00:03:00.000So America is less married than ever before.
00:03:03.000More people are living with spouses, living without spouses or living with their parents or their relatives, or they're living with roommates or living with a cohabitated partner, and yet we're more miserable.
00:03:12.000Isn't it interesting how that all works?
00:03:14.000So to answer your question, and I don't want to be too blunt about it, but a paper degree to this person that emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:03:32.000Find a skill, any skill, and then go find somebody that is good at that skill and ask them for an unpaid internship for one year and say, I will do anything.
00:04:22.000So, Congressman, I want to play cut three of something about something Dr. Burks said, and then I'll allow you to elaborate on it for our audience.
00:04:30.000I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection, and I think we overplayed the vaccines, and it made people then worry that it's not going to protect.
00:04:58.000I mean, DOJ is extremely friendly to the left, and she certainly is in the left.
00:05:04.000I think it also reveals exactly what people like you and I said for a year and a half, two years, that what was going on was a pandemic, that it was designed to gain control over the American people, and they got control to an incredible degree, took away freedoms, attacked freedom and liberty, and that they did it so they would get that power.
00:05:27.000And then I guess the third thing is, if you want a great expose about Dr. Burks, Dr. Scott Atlas's book about the working on COVID issues, I think really reveals that she was intransigent and she wanted power and she was an egotist and arrogant.
00:05:50.000And all of that is revealed in her recent testimony and in the excerpts from her book that are out there, Charlie.
00:05:58.000This is a person who is dangerous, and it shows how tyrannical our own government can be.
00:06:06.000And yes, what's so troubling to me, though, is how she was largely not held accountable.
00:06:12.000It was her and Dr. Fauci that were able to run the entire medical apparatus of our country for quite a long time under Donald Trump.
00:07:21.000One lesson to learn here is it doesn't matter who the occupant of the White House is because the bureaucrats tend to act independently and alone and they're all leftists.
00:07:31.000So you can put your anointed people in here.
00:07:34.000They anointed two bad people in Fauci and Burks, but everybody underneath them was going to support that position.
00:07:40.000So when Scott Atlas is brought in, they hate Scott Atlas because he is, they've created this mindless orthodoxy of control and misinformation to the American people.
00:08:47.000How is it that when the new Congress takes over, because I think we are going to take over in November, I'm not sure by what margin, what do you think can actually be done to hold these medical tyrants accountable?
00:10:23.000It has been nasty and very difficult to watch.
00:10:26.000And I don't know how we're going to come together after it's over.
00:10:29.000I hope we can because nothing would be worse than a Katie Hobbs governor governorship, regardless of who the Republican candidate is.
00:10:40.000I would say this looks to me like a photo finish right now, Charlie.
00:10:48.000The last polling I saw had this a neck and neck.
00:10:53.000I've actually seen, it looks to me like Kerry was up a little bit on the last poll I saw and Karen was behind.
00:11:01.000But I did see a poll right before that where Karen had edged up.
00:11:05.000And so I'm looking at it as a photo finish.
00:11:09.000And what I would tell you too, Charlie, is that the mail-in ballot return is exceptionally low.
00:11:16.000And I don't know for it tells me a couple of things.
00:11:20.000Number one, people still don't trust the elections, but I would tell people get your ballot in sooner rather than later.
00:11:29.000And it tells me also that there's a lot of undecideds out there.
00:11:33.000And that means that the sprint to the end here, this last week, is going to determine the whole outcome because people have waited so long.
00:11:42.000Maybe there's a lot still who haven't decided.
00:12:20.000What's the estimate of how many people are crossing every single day across the southern border?
00:12:25.000Well, the estimate, if you include non-gotaways, known gotaways and getaways that we just estimate, you're probably looking at 9,000 to 12,000 a day on average all across the southern border.
00:12:42.000And right now, Charlie, we're seeing something we hadn't seen recently, and that is two things.
00:12:47.000Number one, sometimes Yuma leads the whole country in border encounters.
00:12:56.000But something you're seeing in Yuma that we hadn't seen until the last few months, last couple of months, is actually runners, getaways.
00:13:03.000And so last time I was there, just about two and a half weeks ago, 300 people.
00:13:09.000And all of a sudden, the Border Patrol, there were two Border Patrol agents there, and one has to leave to go chase runners, while the other one is left there with, you know, almost 300 people there.
00:13:21.000And he's trying to maintain control and order of those 300 people, which is somewhat, it's easier because those people know they're going to be released into the country.
00:13:29.000So it's as bad as ever, going to get worse, I fear.
00:13:35.000Well, Andy Biggs from the great state of Arizona, thank you for speaking out against the invasion.
00:13:38.000And as President Donald Trump says in regards to the Arizona primary, we'll see what happens.
00:14:01.000I'm Rebecca Hatfield, president of Second Vote.
00:14:03.000We've had uniquely American common sense since 1776, but now we're in the age of common nonsense.
00:14:10.000Today's nonsense comes from the big corporations fighting the Supreme Court.
00:14:14.000They can't accept the conservatives have won three huge victories.
00:14:18.000So they're trying to overpower the court's legitimate decisions, and they're using your hard-earned dollars to fund it.
00:14:24.000On Life, the court finally overturned Roe versus Wade.
00:14:28.000So some companies are paying for employees to travel to states where they can get an abortion.
00:14:33.000It's the usual suspects like Target, Starbucks, and Dick's Sporting Goods, but also others like Macy's, Netflix, and Airbnb.
00:14:40.000On the Second Amendment, the court clarified that we have a constitutional right to carry a firearm.
00:14:45.000So 200 CEOs signed a letter demanding gun control.
00:14:49.000It's just common sense if you have the right to carry a firearm everywhere.
00:14:53.000But woke liberals don't want you to be able to protect yourself.
00:14:56.000On Religious Liberty, the court ruled that, of course, a high school football coach has the right to pray after games.
00:15:02.000So woke CEOs promised to further remove religion from our lives.
00:15:07.000HR policies will stop employees from celebrating their faith at work.
00:15:11.000And big tech will continue to censor and silence Christian voices.
00:15:15.000These crucial issues are why Second Vote does the research to expose big corporations by scoring hundreds of companies on traditional American values.
00:15:24.000And we want you to use Second Vote research to make better choices with your money.
00:15:28.000So please make sure to arm yourselves every day with the knowledge you need to shop smart and stop funding the left.
00:15:34.000I'm Rebecca Hatfield, president of Second Vote, reminding you that your first vote is at the ballot box, but your second vote is with your wallet.

00:16:06.000So, basically, I mean, I haven't read the book, but the summary scenes that explain what drives America's left to be such a wet blanket.
00:16:13.000Liberals, Democrats, and leftists' tendency to zealously spread discomfort and misery has been somewhat of a mystery.
00:16:19.000You even say that conservatives are showing to be have better mental health than liberals.
00:16:24.000So, if I could just cut straight to the chase, if you're dealing with depression and you're a liberal, stop being a liberal and become a conservative.
00:16:32.000Um, I think that's that's a question for a doctor, but I will say, yes, I, I, as you said, it was this whole concept of liberal misery and liberal anger and bitterness was something that I think me, and I'm sure you and every one of your listeners and viewers have experienced, and I would say experienced to some degree for quite some time.
00:16:51.000But when I really started to notice, it was in 2020.
00:16:53.000I live in Washington, D.C., so it's all liberals all the time.
00:16:56.000Most of the people I associate with are just going to happen to be liberal.
00:16:59.000But I noticed that in that year, it was just becoming very, very obvious that there was something wrong here.
00:17:05.000And I felt that the politics and the bad nature of the whole thing was only coming from one side.
00:17:12.000And I kept asking myself, why are liberals so miserable?
00:17:16.000Why do I keep having these, even just normal social, what should be normal, pleasant social interactions?
00:17:21.000If the pandemic came up, if any of the Black Lives Matter stuff came up, if the campaign came up and discussion, suddenly it's an all-out war with these people.
00:17:33.000So I start looking around and I find that there's all these studies, all this data, all this research about showing, and every facet of life, no matter what you ask about, ask, break it down by ideological or by party, Democrats versus Republicans, liberals versus conservatives, also independents.
00:17:49.000Every single time, liberals are more likely to express a dissatisfaction with their life, whether it's their job, their marriage, where they live.
00:17:57.000They're more likely to block people on social media because they came across something they didn't like, they didn't agree with.
00:18:03.000They're more likely to say, I don't want to have anything to do with a Trump supporter, and on and on and on.
00:18:08.000And just finding that there's actual research and a way to demonstrate, no, this is true.
00:18:14.000This feeling that I and you and so many people have had about liberals and the misery that they just tend to carry with them is actually borne out by data.
00:18:22.000So what do you think is the driving element of that?
00:18:24.000Do you think it's part of their philosophy, such as you must be miserable if you want to change everything?
00:18:30.000Or is it because of their overemphasis on feelings or emotion, whereas conservatives would be more, I would say, rationality and reason and prudence?
00:18:38.000What do you think the reason for that is?
00:18:40.000Well, I would say that it looks as if more and more, and I would say, again, that 2020 was kind of where this kind of thing went on, went on steroids.
00:18:50.000The difference and the overriding difference in the pattern that I noticed in looking at all this research and data was that politics is part of a liberal and a Democrat's identity.
00:19:03.000And there was one study that I cite in the book, Liberal Misery, that's showing how, regardless of race, regardless of income, regardless of social status, if you are a liberal or Democrat, you are more likely to donate money to a political cause you believe in, whether it's abortion, environmentalism, some kind of political campaign.
00:19:22.000Whether you're a janitor or a CEO, you compare the two, including independents, well, I guess the three, independents and Republicans.
00:19:29.000If you are a liberal or a Democrat, you are just more likely to be invested in those causes.
00:19:34.000And I think that that's the, again, the pattern that I notice in all the data.
00:19:38.000It's I don't want my kids marrying someone who doesn't agree with our politics.
00:19:43.000I don't want to associate with these people.
00:19:46.000They no longer view disagreement on politics, especially disagreement on really anything, as chances to engage, maybe even learn something.
00:19:54.000They actually view those as reasons to shrink their social circles and actually lash out at people to demonstrate, again, this is what I believe.
00:20:04.000It's not just do an election, that's going to resolve our issues.
00:20:08.000No, this is politics all the time, all-consuming on the left.
00:20:13.000Yeah, and just to pinpointing the reason why is still somewhat of a mystery to me.
00:20:17.000I mean, liberals are more likely to believe that if it feels good, then it must be good policy.
00:20:23.000And it seems as if there is this driving force in left-wing ideology that could be best compared to just religious intolerance.
00:20:34.000And what I mean by that is just as if it was back to a return to scholasticism or just purging the non-believers, tolerance is not a value of theirs.
00:20:44.000It never has been, even though they pretend it's not.
00:20:48.000And so go through some of the other examples of how miserable liberals actually are.
00:20:53.000And I think their misery is one of the reasons why they're not going to stop the destruction of our great country.
00:21:00.000No, that is the point I'm making with this book: this is here to stay.
00:21:06.000I think that the best example was 2020.
00:21:10.000Once again, if you live in a big city, and they're all run by Democrats.
00:21:14.000It's all Democrat attorneys general, mayors, governors.
00:21:19.000If you live in one of these places, as we were getting closer to the election, all of their storefronts, small businesses, offices, all of them were boarded up because of the election.
00:21:31.000And that was not in anticipation of a possible Biden win.
00:22:04.000They harass a sitting Supreme Court justice, threaten him with actual political violence.
00:22:11.000And the thing is, this side, the left side, Democrats, liberals, they actually believe that that is justified.
00:22:17.000And that is the stunning development in our politics.
00:22:21.000I think in the history, certainly as long as I've been alive, that now there is one side of politics in this country that actually believes a certain type of political violence is completely justified.
00:22:31.000And again, the boarding up of all the storefronts, the shops, that was because if Trump won, the left is going to go insane.
00:22:40.000And they're going to do it all over again.
00:22:43.000The destruction, the threatening, the harassment, the intimidation.
00:22:59.000I would say when we go back to 2016, that's when you get the birth of the resistance and how the screaming in the streets, the pussy hats, all of that type of stuff, the crying.
00:23:11.000That's when you really notice the change that this is becoming a little bit different.
00:23:16.000I would say that there were studies, Pew and Gallup, they asked the same questions over a period of years.
00:23:22.000I could say that even going back to the Obama years, when they should have been fairly happy, they had the presidency, even then they were still likely to express this dissatisfaction with their lives, their marriages, where they live, their jobs.
00:23:35.000Still more likely to say that I'm going to block somebody on social media because I don't agree with something they said.
00:23:40.000More likely to say they don't want to associate with the other side.
00:23:44.000They don't want to associate with them.
00:23:46.000And so, yes, it goes back quite some time, but just again, the fact that it has become so consuming and overwhelming dynamic on the left and in our politics.
00:23:57.000And again, it's very clearly here to stay.
00:24:00.000They got the White House, they got all of Congress, and yet still, yet still, they're still behaving this way.
00:24:07.000So this is an interesting point, which is we know the left is miserable, but does the left know they're miserable?
00:24:12.000I mean, in your research, do they admit that they're less happy?
00:24:15.000Do they admit that they are dealing with an issue?
00:24:18.000And I'm not saying that they ever come to the conclusion that their politics is the reason for that, but is there at least any recognition that you're seeing that the left admits that they're less happier than other people in the country?
00:24:29.000Well, these studies are broken down by people who will self-identify, self-identify as liberal, self-identify as Democrat, and they just happen to be more likely, I shouldn't say just happen to be, they are more likely to say that they are less happy with things than people who are independent, people who are on the right side.
00:24:46.000Do they acknowledge or kind of admit that this is a problem that they have?
00:24:52.000And I think that's, again, going back to the point of this is all justified.
00:24:56.000The anti-social behavior, any idea that they're going to act out and harass people because they have political disagreements or they didn't get their way, they actually have come to believe this is justified.
00:25:07.000And as another example of that, I will say it's the pandemic and the environmental issue.
00:25:13.000You had time and time again, Democrats, mayors, attorneys, governors, Gavin Newsome, take your pick and forcing these rules and saying, you need to stay home, you need to wear your mask.
00:25:32.000And that's to say nothing of John Kerry, if you remember that clip when he took a private flight across seas and he was asked, well, why are you doing that if you think that the carbon emissions issue is such a big deal?
00:25:44.000And he said, someone like me can't fly commercial.
00:25:47.000When he says someone like me, he means that he is special.
00:25:51.000They actually believe that this, when they do it, it's okay.
00:25:56.000What the mental issue is there, I can't speak to, but I know that they actually, there is this tendency and this overriding pattern that whatever they have to do or whatever, however they act out, however, whatever rules they break, they honestly believe that that is okay.
00:26:10.000It's completely justified when it's them.
00:26:12.000And when it's the other side, well, they're going to put the full weight of the federal justice department in prosecuting them.
00:27:06.000The way that they're behaving, it doesn't go away just because you say we're going to appease them.
00:27:10.000I knew people who voted for Biden in 2020, voted for Democrats because they believe if everything can just calm down, we're going to vote that way and it'll be okay.
00:27:18.000No, we've actually seen it just the dial goes up.
00:27:33.000We just saw that Samantha B's show was canceled.
00:27:36.000I don't know if you saw that development.
00:27:39.000No, the whole point of that is that talk about sucking the joy out of everything.
00:27:43.000Liberals have completely destroyed the entertainment industry, especially comedy.
00:27:48.000What do they do when actually something genuinely funny comes out?
00:27:52.000If a little risque, but the Dave Chappelle comedy, everyone very popular, very popular, but not among the liberals, not among the hardcore liberals.
00:28:46.000And when it bombed, the new producers, or I don't know if they were the same producers or not, said, well, we're going to make another one, but we're not married to the all-female cast thing.
00:28:56.000I guess they might have learned their lesson.
00:28:57.000But the one of the actresses, Leslie whatever, who one of the characters in the show, I think she's also a Saturday Night Live person.
00:29:06.000She then goes on this Twitter rant about, well, that sends the message that boys are better than girls and we can't, we're not the same.
00:29:13.000But again, this goes back to what we were talking about earlier: that politics has to touch every corner of their lives, all-consuming.
00:29:21.000And when it's not, and when they're not making decisions based on that, and when the decision doesn't go their way, when the results don't go their way, they're very angry, very bitter, and they act out.
