00:00:01.000I love the smell of victory, and that is what we are enjoying today.
00:00:04.000But more than just Virginia, we go into shocking upsets in state Senate races in New Jersey, a razor-thin race in New Jersey that develops throughout the course of the recording of this program.
00:00:29.000I encourage everyone listening right now to take out your calendars and circle four days: December 18, December 19th, December 20th, December 21.
00:00:39.000tpusa.com/slash amfest is AmericaFest.

00:00:46.000Well, I'm telling you, this is going to be something unlike you have ever seen before.
00:00:50.000It is the biggest event of the year where we are going to have speakers that have never all been at the same event together.

00:02:08.000Always email me your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:02:11.000I want to thank some of our supporters that have generously supporting us as we have been just non-stop, quite honestly, producing content and in the trenches.
00:02:21.000I want to thank Cheryl for supporting us from Minnesota, charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:02:26.000Carrie from St. Petersburg, Florida, thank you.
00:02:31.000Kelly from California, thank you for supporting us.
00:02:34.000Starsha from North Carolina, she says, Thank you so much for what you do.
00:02:38.000I was introduced to the Charlie Kirk show by my 14-year-old son.
00:02:41.000He watched you on Happening Now with Jack Kibbs.
00:02:43.000He immediately became interested in what was happening politically in our nation.
00:02:46.000Your show has been a tremendously positive influence in his life.
00:02:49.000He's eager to read books you recommend and listen to other podcasts that are mentioned on your show.
00:02:54.000I am blessed that I have been able to homeschool my children for many years, and I plan to make the Charlie Kirk show a part of our daily routine.
00:04:22.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:05:11.000Last night, we started to see the citizen uprising that we knew was happening manifest itself in every single corner imaginable across the country.
00:05:23.000From Virginia to New Jersey to Seattle to New York City to Pennsylvania.
00:05:30.000It wasn't just the governor's race in Virginia, which we're going to get into in great detail, that shows citizens being co-rulers and no longer being subjects of their country.
00:05:41.000But people on television are so surprised.
00:05:44.000They are, they're shocked, you could say, that their masking children vaccine mandate, their lockdown of the church agenda is somehow widely unpopular.
00:06:00.000It's as if they weren't looking at the Biden regime's plummeting poll numbers, at the inflation, at the Afghanistan debacle.
00:06:08.000And for so many people, last night was their first opportunity to finally send a message to the American ruling class.
00:06:38.000But what yesterday was, were people in deep blue states that have had enough.
00:06:43.000And regardless of political affiliation, regardless of political affiliation, yesterday, what you saw in specifically Virginia and New Jersey, and we'll get into the new Jersey specifics momentarily here because we're not exactly sure how it's going to shake out, but it looks like it's going to be a squeaker for the Democrat barely.
00:07:01.000What I mean by barely, like 7,000 to 10,000 votes, whereas that Americans are willing to abandon whatever political ideology or jersey that they're supposed to wear for the betterment of their nation and their family and the well-being of their fellow countrymen.
00:07:20.000What you saw last night was the beginning of the takeback of the country from the people who took it from us.
00:07:32.000Last night in Virginia, it was front and center.
00:07:34.000You had Terry McAuliffe, who is a Clinton operative and was former governor of Virginia from 2013 to 2017.
00:07:42.000You're not allowed to serve two consecutive terms as Virginia governor.
00:07:45.000You're term limited just to one term, but you could serve more than one term if you want.
00:07:49.000Then Governor Ralph Northam served this last term.
00:07:51.000And so McAuliffe wanted to be governor again.
00:07:55.000McAuliffe was comfortably in the lead in a deep blue state of Virginia.
00:07:59.000No one really questioned that McAuliffe was going to be the next governor until all of a sudden, moms and dads at school boards across Loudoun County, Fairfax County, and across Virginia started to create a new political coalition.
00:08:13.000Started to create a political coalition that was going to challenge the education cartel, challenge Randy Whitegarten from the American Federation of Teachers, challenge the National Education Association.
00:08:29.000And Terry McAuliffe, while he was running, decided to say parents have no say over their children's education.
00:08:37.000That parents have no, let's say, input in how their children are even going to be raised.
00:08:46.000And when you see Terry McAuliffe, time and time again double and triple down on this, all of a sudden, voters in Virginia, and by the way, Virginia being a high-net worth, high-income state, especially around the suburbs of Washington, D.C., you started to see people abandon their team left Jersey and they say, I might vote for a Republican for the first time in my life.
00:09:11.000Now, instead of getting the memo or getting the message, Democrats in control, Terry McAuliffe and Obama and Clinton and Kamala Harris, they doubled and tripled down on their Virginia strategy.
00:09:26.000In addition, we started to see cover-ups from the Loudoun County School of the rapists that went into women's bathrooms and raped young girls multiple times in the cover-up of that.
00:09:36.000And Terry McAuliffe said explicitly, let's just go to Cut 37, what he said on school choice, I will never allow that as governor.
00:09:45.000This was Terry McAuliffe's stated position, play cut 37.
00:09:48.000It is a Donald Trump Betsy DeVos plan of moving money from public to private.
00:10:42.000Virginia was the pressure cooker, everybody, of a woke lash, not a white lash, but a woke lash.
00:10:50.000A woke lash was a coalition of people together that said, enough of the white fragility, enough of white privilege, enough of hiring airline pilots based on the color of their skin, enough of black-only dormitories, enough of black-only graduation ceremonies.
00:11:04.000Whoever is against that, that's who I'm for.
00:11:07.000Even if I might disagree with them on some social policy, I know this is not good for the direction of my children, our country, and our nation.
00:11:16.000And what you saw all across Virginia is not only did this work in Democrat areas like Loudoun County, where the final count shows that Youngkin only lost Loudoun County by 11 points when Republicans traditionally lose it by 20 to 25 points, is that Glenn Young actually ran up the score in rural Virginia.
00:11:38.000In Southwest Virginia, Glenn Young actually outperformed Donald Trump in certain areas.
00:11:42.000In Virginia Beach, he stunned the political world by actually winning parts of Virginia Beach, a traditional Democrat stronghold.
00:11:49.000And in the Richmond area, Terry McAuliffe did not hit any of his projections that he needed that was necessary for him to become governor of Virginia.
00:11:58.000Now, despite this, many of us that were watching last night, and many of you on the live stream, we endured a very long evening of nail-biting and anxiety-inducing type coverage because we, what does it say for the American Republic where we are so conditioned to have late night ballot dumps that we are not willing to go to sleep until every network has officially called it, every person has conceded.
00:12:24.000And that's exactly what happened last night.
00:12:25.000We didn't go to bed till 3:30, 30, 3:30 in the morning because we had this kind of PTSD from the 2020 election where you think everything's fine and 3 a.m. vote dump.
00:12:34.000And there was a lot of chatter last night around 1.15 in the morning.
00:12:38.000I went more like we're at midnight where Republicans were getting very nervous.
00:12:41.000They said, I think they're going to do their sort of shenanigans or their tomfoolery again.
00:12:46.000But Youngkin won so convincingly that they were not able to round up what they needed in Fairfax.
00:12:51.000Young won so convincingly that they were not able to go find ballots in every single direction.
00:12:57.000And Terry McAuliffe was supposed to waltz in as governor of Virginia.
00:13:03.000And this is more than just a conservative uprising because it's part of that.
00:14:02.000They exist to support local American farms to help you make great American meals.
00:14:07.000Together, they want you to restore the American ranch and your meals to their former glory.
00:14:12.000Get the beef, chicken, and seafood that can't be imported or matched at goodranchers.com.
00:14:18.000Goodranchers.com does an amazing job, everybody.
00:14:20.000Did you know the product of USA tag has been stolen by foreign countries?
00:14:24.000They process their meat here and label it like it came from America.
00:14:28.000Because of these labeling laws that favor foreign imported meat, over 100,000 independent American farms and ranches have closed since 2015.
00:14:35.000Well, Good Ranchers has gone on a hunt and they have found the American meat, everybody.
00:14:40.000Good Ranchers is here to put America first at the dinner table and farmers that work to raise the meat we eat.
00:14:45.000Look, when we get Good Ranchers sent to the office, it's a fight.
00:15:32.000Number three, you want to support the Charlie Kirk show.
00:15:33.000So in all seriousness, if you want to support the Charlie Kirk show, support the country and eat, well, then I have a trifecta for you right now.
00:16:42.000If you go to goodranchers.com slash Charlie and use code Charlie at checkout, that's 10 free bistro fillets, free express shipping, and $25 off your subscription for life.
00:16:52.000So here's, you just go to goodranchers.com slash Charlie.
00:18:51.000That's where a lot of this stuff, unfortunately, is centered.
00:18:58.000Now, there's still a lot of votes left in Essex County.
00:19:00.000I'm sure Stacey Abrams is on her way up.
00:19:03.000But again, they probably, most of these ballots were probably on a ship off of the coast of Long Beach, California, and were never able to make it.
00:19:16.000If you said, Charlie, who do you think is going to pull it out?
00:19:19.000I think that Phil Murphy is going to pull a Tony Soprano, and all of a sudden all these votes are going to show in Camden County.
00:19:26.000But make no mistake, the fact that all of a sudden the next day we have to entertain that a Republican holds the lead, it's shocking.
00:19:35.000It is a death blow to the Democrat regime.
00:19:39.000So what we have here in New Jersey is a state of affairs where the Democrats were in such a comfortable position.
00:19:49.000We're going to do a big windup for a man that needs to become a household name.
00:19:54.000The real winner last night is the true citizen government.
00:20:00.000True citizen government is what happened in New Jersey last night.
00:20:02.000And I can't wait to share this with you.
00:20:05.000It was just one of the most exciting, beautiful. bottom-up, organic, authentic political victories, I think, in the modern era.
00:20:18.000Now, who would have thought that forcibly masking children and shutting down schools and having birthday parties at Obama's Martha's Vineyard house while you have to have your children be masked?
00:20:28.000Whoever thought that would be unpopular?
00:20:32.000And I also want to talk about election integrity because I think a lot of Republicans are getting this wrong.
00:20:36.000A lot of Republicans say, oh, see, everything was perfect in Virginia.
00:20:41.000Therefore, we have to stop talking about election integrity.
00:20:43.000First of all, I don't think everything was perfect in Virginia.
00:20:45.000I think we won by so much, we were able to overcompensate all the fair facts and nonsense.
00:20:50.000But after I introduce you to the new national hero of the true citizen government, the man that we all are, this guy is the Richard Jewel of the 2021 American political story.
00:21:03.000He's a man that didn't ask to be a hero, but it was deemed upon him because he wanted to do the courageous and epic thing.
00:21:09.000And as it stands right now, he might actually be poised to unseat the longest serving state senator in New Jersey history, a man who spent $150 and it looks like he might win.
00:21:25.000Every once in a while, a coffee company comes along that changes the way we think about our morning routine.
00:21:30.000Are you looking for a conservative coffee company that shares your values of freedom and liberty and not feel like you've been thrown under the bus because of your beliefs?
00:21:40.000Bold, smooth, and never bitter, roasted in small batches and shipped to order.
00:21:44.000Minutemen Coffee never fails to deliver on time and with the freshest roasts available.
00:21:49.000Minutemen Coffee supports our first responders, our constitutional sheriffs, and our veteran and military service women and men throughout the country of various charities.
00:21:58.000I am proud to partner with Minutemen Coffee and excited to share them with you.
00:22:02.000Minutemen Coffee subscription plans are top-notch and easy to manage on your terms.
00:22:06.000The coffee is so delicious, everybody.
00:23:17.000Let's play Cut 56, a little bit about the Virginia election results, play cut 56.
00:23:21.000The House delegates is not going to go Republican.
00:23:23.000This is a state that has not had a statewide Republican since 2009 when Bob McDonald was governor.
00:23:28.000At the Senate level, at the gubernatorial level, the state was bright blue yesterday.
00:23:34.000And now, as of next January, the state's going to be almost entirely in the control of Republicans.
00:23:39.000And that's, you know, that's a bloodbath.
00:23:40.000Well, bloodbath in the state that Democrats have dominated, dominated for the past decade.
00:23:46.000And Republicans have taken control of the Virginia House of Delegates 5149 that no one saw coming.
00:23:54.000Cut 57, John Carl from ABC says this is a sonic boom of a wake-up call for Democrats, but they won't heed the wake-up call.
00:24:01.000Instead, you have Pelosi and Schumer say, oh, this is why we need to go spend these trillions of dollars we don't have on programs that are unpopular.
00:24:09.000Honestly, Democrats, I hope you guys try to implement CRT in every single school district across the country, not because it's good for the country, it's super damaging, but voters hate it so much that it's the greatest political gift to conservatives you could imagine.
00:28:05.000And Edward Durr is the ultimate example of someone that actually didn't think they were going to win.
00:28:12.000You look at his picture, he has a superimposed American flag behind him.
00:28:16.000It's as if he just kind of went to kind of one of the photo booths at the local Walgreens, took a campaign picture, and had it superimposed.
00:29:46.000I'm running for New Jersey State Senate.
00:29:48.000I've lived here all my life, raising my three kids.
00:29:54.000In 2020, my opponents sat by and watched as Governor Murphy forced nursing homes to take in COVID-19 patients, resulting in the death of over 8,000 of our seniors.
00:30:06.000He remains silent as Governor Murphy with his lockdown and mandates forced the closing of over one-third of all small businesses, costing New Jersey family thousands of jobs.
00:30:17.000He has done nothing as seven out of every 10 moves are leaving the state, placing a heavier burden on those of us who remain.
00:30:27.000The Senate president has spent 20 years in Trenton.
00:30:31.000Higher taxes, increasing debt, and a rising cost of living.
00:31:09.000No other country could a truck driver just walk through a cemetery and buy a convenience store with a 16-year-old with a kind of a joggling iPhone camera and defeat the New Jersey state Senate president.
00:31:21.000That is the definition of grassroots, everybody.
00:31:23.000That is the definition of bottom-up, not top-down.
00:31:26.000Edward Durr didn't have some sort of super PAC funded by Pfizer come in and fund his campaign.
00:31:31.000Edward Durr did not have AstraZeneca come in and drop a million dollars in support of his campaign.
00:31:36.000Edward Durr did not have Facebook come into the Center for Technology and Civic Life and have all these mail-in ballots.
00:31:42.000No, Edward Durr is exactly what James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton envisioned as citizens taking back their government.
00:31:50.000Because Edward Durr did not have a father that was a monarch.
00:31:53.000Edward Durr did not have special connections in Trenton.
00:33:12.000I don't know what to do with my hands.
00:33:16.000And he's a Harley riding Eagles fan truck driver.
00:33:20.000Yes, you are what makes this country run.
00:33:22.000And honestly, Edward Durr, you are far more qualified to run this country than the criminals that have been doing it the last 30 years.
00:33:29.000If we had more people like Edward Durr sitting in committee meetings using common sense that is accrued by driving trucks and raising a family, he's a grandfather of six and a father of three.
00:33:38.000I trust you infinitely more to go make decisions on lockdowns and vaccine mandates and mask mandates than some sort of transactional politician Sweeney.
00:35:21.000So go to mypillow.com, Radio Listener Special and promo code Kirk.
00:35:25.000If you like Mike Lindell and you love what he's doing for the country, you also like our show, the Charlie Kirk Show, boom, kill two birds, one stone, mypillow.com, buy a bunch of stuff, promo code, Kirk.
00:35:38.000Taking back our government is a beautiful thing.
00:36:01.000And that feeling that Americans have of fear, stress, anxiety, frustration about all sorts of issues, right?
00:36:13.000And they might not have the same kind of anxiety about the same issue, but there is this feeling of dread, of discontent of a country that's sort of stalled out and not delivering in the way that Biden promised, that Democrats have promised as well in this last election.
00:36:36.000Now, one thing that people are focusing on, some people on the right, they say, now this shows that we shouldn't talk about election integrity ever again.
00:36:45.000I think our emphasis on voter integrity put fear into the regime and backed them off to not cut corners again.
00:36:54.000I think our emphasis on voter integrity actually made it less likely for them to try to do the same sort of shenanigans they did previously.
00:37:04.000Now, some people are saying, well, Charlie, what about New Jersey?
00:37:06.000First of all, I don't want to hear anyone talk about New Jersey, you know, cutting corners or doing all these things as Phil Murphy retakes the lead.
00:37:18.000If we would have spent millions of dollars and done events and really taken it seriously, I only believe the argument that Kent should be given a platform of voter integrity when we really go all out.
00:37:32.000When we really go all out, then I say, okay, then we're going to talk about it.
00:37:36.000But New Jersey, no one was taking that seriously two weeks ago.
00:38:46.000Now, if in Virginia, we would have saw what we're seeing in New Jersey right now, which is sudden 3 a.m. vote dumps and massive things and all this sorts of different stuff, then it's okay.
00:38:55.000Like, let's see what's really going on there.
00:38:58.000But I never want it to be an excuse for us not to engage.
00:39:01.000And I also want to say this, that credit to the MAGA base, it shows that we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
00:39:07.000It shows that we can be worried about election integrity and that we're still going to show up to elections and not allow that to be kind of this spell of cynicism of I'm never going to vote again.
00:39:17.000In Virginia, what you saw is that people that were worried about people that were coming into the process, meaning ballots going on every direction, signature verification issues, all this stuff.
00:39:27.000They said, hey, if we win by so much, they're not going to be able to cut the corners.
00:39:34.000And Ron Meyer came on our program last evening, former Loudoun County supervisor, and he said that Republicans had precinct committeemen everywhere in Virginia last night looking at the ballot counting, looking at what was happening.
00:39:46.000And that was an outgrowth, by the way, of all of our concern from the 2020 election.
00:39:51.000And so here's what I'm saying: the balance needs to be struck.
00:39:54.000We can never stop talking about election integrity, voter ID, ballot custody, signature verification issues.
00:40:00.000But you have to reject anyone in circles that ever says, Charlie, what's the point of voting again?
00:40:04.000Virginia is the point of ever voting again.
00:40:06.000Edward Durr is the point of ever voting again.
00:40:09.000And honestly, I want to thank all of you that entertained those thoughts and you rejected them.
00:40:15.000I know after the 2020 election, where it seemed like everything was going so well and it collapsed all around us, you're like, oh, what's the point?
00:40:22.000The point is you can take back your government.
00:40:25.000The point is that Harley Davidson riding Eagles fan wearing truck driving middle class, muscular class grandfather of six and father of three normal people in South Jersey, they can make a big difference.
00:40:39.000Everyone, what's happening in our country is amazing.
00:40:42.000Let's talk about Pennsylvania for a second.
00:40:43.000In Pennsylvania's Supreme Court race, conservatives held on to retiring Republic Justice Thomas Saylor's seat.
00:40:51.000Republican Commonwealth Court Judge Kevin Brobsom defeated Democrat Superior Court Judge Maria McLaughlin by more than 100,000 votes, a massive judicial victory.
00:41:03.000Democrats still outnumber Republicans in the state highest court, but in Pennsylvania court judge election, Republican Megan Sullivan defeated Democrat Lane Timka by nearly 300,000 votes.
00:41:17.000And Pennsylvanians also voted in roughly a two-to-one margin to retain both Republican Superior Court judges John Bender and Mary Bose and Republican Commonwealth Court Judge Ann Covey and Renee Jublier.
00:41:40.000Republicans won city council seats in New York City City Council races.
00:41:45.000New York, Republicans won four contested city council races in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island and have a shot of a fifth potential upset seat.
00:41:54.000With 87% of the vote in, Vernikov, a 37-year-old lawyer and Ukrainian native, garnered 10,768 votes or 65% of the vote.
00:42:05.000She will succeed ex-councilman Chaim Deutsch, who forfeited his seat earlier this year when he is convicted of tax fraud.
00:42:13.000The district includes many Russian-speaking and Jewish immigrants.
00:42:17.000I'm reading from the New YorkPost.com in the communities of Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, Sheepshead Bay, and Homecrest.
00:42:23.000Vernikov ran as an unabashed supporter of Donald Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. endorsed her in robot calls to voters, and she won.
00:42:33.000This election victory shows that people are fed up with the progressive policies that have destroyed our city and district in New York City, everybody.
00:42:44.000Meanwhile, Joanne Areola, she won in the 32nd district.
00:42:50.000She's a Queens Republican leader and Howard Beach civic activist, and she trounced a left-wing Democrat progressive Felicia Singh in New York City.
00:43:01.000In Staten Island, Republican David Carr defeated Democrat Sal Albanes, a former Brooklyn city councilman, and how about one more in New York City.
00:43:11.000A Republican pulled off a huge upset in northeastern Queens.
00:43:15.000Everybody, this woke lash goes from Seattle to New York City to Virginia to New Jersey to Pennsylvania.
00:43:26.000This woman by the name of Vicki Paul Donino or Paladino, she won and defeated Tony Avella, Democratic city councilman, with 99% of the votes in.
00:43:40.000Palladino shocked the New York political world with over 50% of the vote.
00:43:47.000And city councilman Tony Avella, who's very powerful, has been defeated.
00:43:52.000This red wave has gone all the way to Manhattan, everybody, in city and local elections.
00:43:59.000So, how are Democrats nationally responding to this?
00:44:14.000Well, the outcome in Minneapolis also reflects what Jim Clyburn warned back during 2020, that message about police and whether you call it defunding or reforming or becoming a public health safety department.
00:44:44.000But there's a remnant of great people in King County, all across that area, that are wanting their city back.
00:44:51.000They want the safe, normal, reliable Scandinavian outpost in the Northwest part of the country, not run by radicals.
00:45:00.000And as it stands right now, Republican, Republican, Republican Ann Davison is clobbering Nicole Thomas Kennedy for the race for the Seattle City Attorney.
00:45:37.000You know what this tells me about Seattle is that even Democrats know that when they want to be safe, they'll go to Republicans.
00:45:47.000What this tells me right here with the Seattle City Attorney race, Ann Davis and 58.7%, Nicole Thomas Kennedy, in the Seattle City attorney race, a Republican is on pace to win by double digits in the Seattle City attorney race.
00:46:06.000Well, last night, Minneapolis overwhelmingly rejected measures to replace the city police department, overwhelmingly decided to push back on calls to, quote, defund the police.
00:46:20.000In Minneapolis and Seattle, the two Scandinavian cities that were going in the wrong direction reversed course last night.
00:47:32.000David Axarod makes the point that we've been making on this show for a year and a half.
00:47:37.000The Ed Der types, the muscular types, muscular class types, the guys that lift boxes and have to wear a mask all day long and have to be yelled at by the elites when Nancy Pelosi has her outdoor fundraiser for the Democrat House committee.
00:47:51.000And meanwhile, every single person that waits on her has to wear a mask and she can snap her fingers and be served on at a moment's notice.
00:47:57.000Yeah, those people, they're now becoming Republicans.
00:48:01.000Republicans have an opportunity to build a governing coalition of 60 to 70% of the country of people that love the Constitution, that are members of the muscular class, that want to be citizens, not subjects.
00:48:20.000I thought that it would be Virginia and a little bit of a ripple and the Democrats could explain this away.
00:48:25.000I did not think on November 3rd, 2021, I'd be telling you that in Seattle, a Republican is winning by 17 points to become the new city attorney.
00:48:35.000What this shows is that the reaction since Floyda Palooza and all the nonsense that happened in the CRT, $3 billion of damages burning down our country, how it has made America more profoundly dangerous, is that regardless of political affiliation of ideology, regardless of their views on abortion and their views on vaccines, that people don't want to have to worry about whether or not their five-year-old is going to get shot on the way to school.
00:50:24.000Okay, first, Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they're smacked in the face.
00:50:29.000I have now, let's say, modernized it by saying everyone is a Democrat till your daughter gets raped by some trans person in the restroom.
00:50:37.000I think that is the more modern side of it.
00:50:39.000By the way, just as a side note, the mom of the skirt-wearing male teen of what happened in Loudoun County, Virginia, who raped two female girls, says son identifies as a male and just wanted sex as she berates the victim, saying to the young girl that was raped, you're 15, you can reasonably defend yourself.
00:50:58.000That's where Loudoun County messed up the entire state of Virginia.
00:51:02.000What we're going to explore in the next segment with James Lindsay, who is the author of Cynical Theories, I think he deserves so much credit for this, is that this whole thing, really, the underlying premise of what happened in New Jersey from Seattle to New York City is kind of America's reaction post-Floyd.
00:51:21.000Part of it was vaccine mandates, part of it was mask mandates, but a lot of it was that racial reckoning that was just thrown down our throat.
00:51:30.000That was just kind of forced down our throat, I should say.
00:51:32.000And it was done so aggressively and abrasively and abruptly that the 2020 election with Trump was not a good reading on kind of how America thought about that.
00:51:43.000This is now where all of a sudden that we've kind of had a chance to digest the meal of CRT and we want it gone.
00:52:46.000He said the Democrat Party needs to come to face with the issue of wokeism.
00:52:50.000But here's the thing, is that since Republicans, and I will give Tucker Carlson great credit for this, I will give Candace Owens great credit for this.
00:52:57.000I will give the Charlie Kirk Show team great credit for this.
00:53:00.000I will give Turning Point USA credit for this and many others.
00:53:03.000Since we had a zero tolerance policy for wokeism, the virus of wokeism has found a, let's just say, a reasonable place to fester and grow.
00:53:16.000The virus is within the Democrat Party, and they know they can't get rid of it.
00:53:21.000As soon as you make everything about racial identity politics within one organism, organization, or structure, it will win.
00:53:27.000Wokeism will win because it's no rules except whoever the most oppressed is.
00:53:48.000Here you have a lot of people saying that.
00:53:50.000And we need to talk about this around the table a good bit because the Democrats are going to have to come face to face with this issue of wokeism.
00:54:01.000Oh, yeah, not CRT, right, Joe, because CRT doesn't exist.
00:54:05.000I don't think this is going to get better for Democrats anytime soon.
00:54:07.000Wokeism is now within the internal operating system of the Democrat Party.
00:54:12.000It's within their language, within their leadership structure, and how they organize themselves.
00:54:17.000That virus is there to stay within the Democrat Party.
00:54:20.000And it looks like it's weakening them every day.
00:54:24.000Internet privacy is extremely important.
00:54:27.000New 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.
00:54:38.000So what are you doing to protect your search history?
00:54:41.000Well, this is why you need Express VPN.
00:54:43.000Using the internet without Express VPN is like going to the bathroom and not closing the door.
00:55:41.000ExpressVPN for me has been a game changer to be able to know that the tech companies or the government have to go through a whole nother barrier to try to spy on us.
00:55:53.000When we see with the new announcements out of DC, if you spoke at a school board meeting lately, you better get a VPN.

00:56:33.000You are the leader and you deserve credit for leaning the enlightenment against the woke.
00:56:38.000Where do they get off for saying something like this over?
00:56:42.000Well, they get off saying that because the propagandists are out in force because they want to hide the fact that not only does critical race theory exist, it exists in our schools.
00:56:52.000It has been being taught in our schools for a number of years.
00:56:55.000I was, in fact, just reading a book yesterday on a flight that's called The Critical Turn in Education that's structured around three main changes that made our education system in the United States Marxist since 1970.
00:57:07.000And the third of the three main changes in education they list is critical race theory.
00:57:11.000So, this is the propagandists are out in force because they don't want people to know that this is really happening.
00:57:17.000Well, and so, and so, James, this is something that we've seen impact every single form of American society in every single fashion.
00:57:24.000And so, James, you have come strong against the woke.
00:57:27.000And I think what we saw yesterday is woke lash.
00:57:31.000I want to play some sound here that I think is really important because some people are still denying that any of this stuff even exists.
00:57:42.000And they are not taking the cue in any way whatsoever on this.
00:57:47.000Kaylee McEniny did this quite well on Fox News last evening.
00:58:21.000And that's 72% of Americans, they're not crazy.
00:58:25.000So, James, they are insisting that this does not exist.
00:58:28.000They're telling parents they don't have a say in education.
00:58:31.000You've been tracking this for quite some time.
00:58:33.000Talk about how you've been seeing the backlash against this that has now manifested into a woke lash.
00:58:39.000Okay, so first, let me just say, Kaylee was exactly right.
00:58:43.000The Ed Equity Virginia program is written through with critical race theory.
00:58:47.000Lists authors, people like Ibram Kendi, who people have heard of as a critical race theorist, Bettina Love, who argued that not teaching critical race theory spirit murders children of color in schools, and Gloria Ladsden Billings, who wrote the first paper called Toward a Critical Race Theory of Education in 1995.
00:59:08.000Even the Fairfax County Commissioner of Schools or something high in their school district recently said that they teach it.
00:59:14.000Now, as far as the woke lash, as we're saying, goes, what's happened is that people have cottoned on to this.
00:59:21.000They do not like the fact that there's this very divisive racist and Marxist indoctrination and reprogramming of our children happening in schools, happening in corporate HR departments, happening in universities, happening in institutions.
00:59:37.000But critical race theory interprets any resistance against critical race theory as proof that critical race theory is necessary.
00:59:45.000And it predicts that there will be this kind of backlash.
00:59:47.000What they are not prepared for, though, is to actually deal with the backlash because all we're seeing them do today is call everybody in the world a racist to say everything supports white supremacy, that Glenn Young ran on a platform of racism and white supremacy.
01:00:02.000It's all preposterous propaganda because they don't have the argument on their side.
01:01:18.000When it gets kicked on its heels, this is what it does: it says that everything that opposes it is just another manifestation of white supremacy here.
01:01:24.000It uses very divisive race-baiting tactics, like saying that white parents don't want to have race education in the schools, and it becomes a white, black, or white minority racial issue so that it can be polarized around people's identities rather than to stick to the issues because they know that identities are very sensitive to people, they're very personal to people, and that when you get people operating in an identity-based frame, they don't want to talk about the issues rationally.
01:01:53.000They talk about them in a way that's personal and emotional and effective.
01:01:57.000And they know that this works, and that's why they're doing it.
01:02:00.000But the joke's on them because the spell has broken.
01:02:07.000I'm playing these clips just to understand.
01:02:09.000So, James Lindsay wrote Cynical Theories, Everybody, which was the philosophical rebuttal to critical race theory, and he was ahead of the curve here.
01:02:17.000And part of why I wanted to have you on the show, James, is that people say politics flows downstream from culture.
01:02:22.000James was involved in the cultural battles early, and he was willing to do the political side too.
01:02:27.000And James actually would consider himself a liberal.
01:03:23.000So it's tempting to call what we just heard crazy or insane, but it is in fact very calculated propaganda that works on its target audience, which are the liberal viewing audience watching that.
01:03:36.000And this is why what you just said before the clip, Charlie, is exactly right.
01:03:40.000We need a broad coalition against wokeness, which is a very narrow way to care about issues like social justice.
01:03:50.000And you can hear in that clip what it does.
01:03:53.000A, it uses very polarizing, divisive, narrative-driven ideas, insurrection to describe a thing, you know, no nuance whatsoever, just the most blazing thing that you could possibly say to get people worked up and afraid, tying everything to Trump to polarize around Trump.
01:04:10.000They did this very effectively to the entire polity over the past five years.
01:04:20.000If you have somebody pushing a political movement that will brazenly lie about a theory that has been being developed, depending on which theorist you ask, since the early 1970s, maybe even from 1903 with W.E.B. Du Bois' views in The Souls of Black Folk about double consciousness, but certainly that was named in 1989 by Kimberly Crenshaw at a meeting she described in Madison, Wisconsin as being a bunch of Marxists meeting to talk about racial justice.
01:04:46.000If you're going to say that that doesn't exist when it is a gigantic body of scholarship with many, many, many books, to say nothing of articles published about it, then you know that you're dealing with a political movement that is doing something very off-kilter.
01:05:14.000It's a broad coalition led by parents, most of all, who realize that wokeness is a danger to their children, a danger to our future, a danger to our country, a danger to Western civilization.
01:05:27.000And I think yesterday we started to see a repudiation of wokeism and a rebuttal to it and that broad-based coalition that comes at it from a lot of different political perspectives and understands that there are some fruits of the Enlightenment that are necessary to preserve, like freedom of speech, dialogue inquiry, the scientific method, respect of human dignity, human equality, you know, basic American traits and virtues and values that are under attack from forces that are pathological, ideological, and will not stop at anything.
01:05:55.000And so, James, I just want to thank you for your contribution and service in all this because yesterday, I think, was an affirmation of a lot of the work that you've put into.
01:06:04.000I know that at times you could be attacked from every single direction and, you know, it could be difficult.
01:06:08.000But for people listening, you have to understand yesterday, when people started to get educated about CRT, understand where it came from.
01:06:14.000There's a couple people that deserve credit.
01:06:16.000And James Lindsay's on the Mount Rushmore of the metaphorical, let's say, slaying of the woke dragons.
01:06:50.000And don't even get started about the $25 trillion of debt.
01:06:54.000If you've been thinking about investing safer, you can retire comfortably and sleep at night.
01:06:58.000It's time to talk to Noble Gold about the tax advantages and other pluses of precious metal IRAs.
01:07:04.000Of course, you might love uncertainty, but if you don't, this month, Noble Gold are giving away a free America, the beautiful solid silver five-ounce coin with any qualifying IRA you start.

01:07:33.000Now, don't take your eye off this story, everybody.
01:07:37.000Rochelle Walensky has just announced that Pfizer's Fauci virus vaccine will be available for all kids 5 through 11 injections starting tomorrow.
01:07:48.000So we are going to, we're going to cover that extensively tomorrow.
01:07:52.000We're back at mission control, aren't we, tomorrow?
01:07:54.000Tonight, we're at the University of Alabama, everybody.
01:08:48.000There was one piece of sound I wanted to play, though, that we didn't play, which is, yeah, Cut 47, which is CNN on election night freaking out that voters are showing up because of the CRT issue.
01:08:59.000Glenn Young has seized on those issues as well as the idea about teaching critical race theory, which is not even in the curriculum officially in Virginia, but there are some voters here in Loudoun County who believe it's kind of unofficially being taught and they like Junckin's message on that, Jake.
01:09:50.000It's free of charge and it's available not only to teachers, but also to citizens who, just like you, share with other concerned Americans.
01:09:58.000This complete K-12 history and civics curriculum is designed to give educators guidance, not mandates.
01:10:07.000It allows students to learn from the tragedies and triumphs of American history as it really happened.
01:10:12.000Only through a complete and honest study of our history can students fully understand the world in which they live.
01:10:20.000Our children deserve to be taught the truth through a sound curriculum that was created by teachers, not unelected bureaucrats, and upholds the dignity of each individual.
01:10:31.000America's future depends on an honest, candid look at our history.
01:10:35.000So download the 1776 curriculum or take some of their wonderful online courses at charlieforhillsdale.com.
01:11:23.000From Ed Burr, seems like he's going to unseat the New Jersey Senate president to the shockingly close race in New Jersey where Murphy has now retaken the lead, from the repudiation of Clintonism and Obamaism in Virginia.
01:11:44.000It's parents reasserting their role to say that they're in charge.
01:11:49.000It's parents no longer being spectators and watching from afar and being timid and letting other people bully and intimidate their children.
01:11:57.000From the city attorneys race in Seattle to the New York City City Council race of electing Republicans to what we are seeing to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court races all across the country with people that have never met each other before, thousands of miles apart.
