00:00:00.000It is now the position of the Democrat Party and the American left that you are not in charge of your children, that you need to sacrifice your children and give them to the state and stop asking questions.
00:00:10.000We go into a horrific story of what happened in Loudoun County of what happens when you allow the transgender movement to go unchallenged.
00:01:41.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:20.000Finally, finally, finally, we are seeing the most fundamental issue for our civilization take a front seat in how we view American politics and the conservative movement, and that is education.
00:02:38.000Traveling the country, going to high school and college campuses, talking about how we need to properly educate young people about American history, civics, the development of the character, understanding how parents should have a primary role in their children's education, trying to have young people understand that there is objective truth,
00:03:03.000educate them about metaphysics and a transcendent order and meaning.
00:03:09.000These are things that I've been warning about for years.
00:03:12.000And I don't want to say that I was ignored.
00:03:16.000Conservative base always took it seriously.
00:03:19.000People considered it to be a top 10 issue.
00:03:21.000People said, you know what, Charlie, you're right.
00:03:23.000We should take education more seriously.
00:03:26.000But one of the most important and unexpected byproducts of the Fauci virus lockdowns was all of a sudden when parents started to walk into their living rooms, walk into the kitchen,
00:03:42.000and they overheard their kid because the school is locked down on a Zoom class call, and they overheard the garbage and the pablum and the nonsense that was being spewed by teachers that they were paying for.
00:03:57.000Schools then somewhat opened across the country and students were subjected to wearing masks and then vaccine mandates.
00:04:04.000Critical race theory was exposed in the curriculum of hundreds of schools across the country.
00:04:11.000And parents who never cared about education before made it their 15th or 20th issue to their number one issue.
00:04:19.000All of a sudden, we started to see parents show up to school board meetings across the country, something that we have been celebrating and encouraging.
00:04:26.000I myself have shown up at a couple school board meetings in the state of Arizona.
00:04:30.000We have been profiling courageous parents that have been stepping up.
00:04:33.000And it's funny, we've been calling for this type of movement for years, but it just seems that there was transparency for the first time in my 10 years of doing this when all of a sudden parents saw for themselves what their students were learning in classrooms.
00:04:49.000And I can't tell you how many people have emailed us at freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:04:53.000Charlie, you were talking about education for years.
00:04:55.000I never took it seriously until I saw it myself.
00:04:58.000And I'm glad that it's finally happening.
00:05:00.000And it really has the statists, the collectivists, the progressives, the Democrats in an unexpected position right now.
00:05:09.000Out of conservative voters, this is in Virginia, 77 of conservative voters for the upcoming governor's race.
00:05:32.000But the issue that is animating conservatives, animating moderates in a way that is unexpected, that is moving people in massive numbers in the state of Virginia and nationally is education.
00:07:03.000Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe has come out and he said in his debate with Youngkin, quote, I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.
00:07:13.000He thought this was going to be like a big kind of rallying moment, like, yeah, we stand with the state and government and not with parents.
00:07:21.000But Terry McAuliffe is telling you exactly what the Clinton machine has believed for years: that it takes a village.
00:08:35.000Of too many people who know little or nothing about education, trying to tell professionals who are in this industry who've been working hard.
00:08:44.000We're coming in as weekend lawyers, trying to tell them about what education should look like.
00:08:50.000We need to put a little bit more trust in our educators because they've actually spent the time and energy necessary to really understand some of the nuances that are being kind of just blown over here in this conversation.
00:09:05.000Some 25-year-old University of Maryland educated Marxist knows about the nuances of your child better than you.
00:09:16.000I mean, come on, you got to trust the experts, everybody.
00:09:18.000And this really does show the divide as we dedicate this hour to what's going on with education in our country, which is the most important issue outside of immigration, election integrity.
00:09:44.000And this really kind of goes to the divide in the country, which is do we trust a group of unelected, unknown experts to be in charge of important things?
00:09:56.000Or do we trust parents, citizens, to have the liberty and the freedom to be able to make better choices, to have the ability to say, you know what, this is not working for me at Loudoun County Public Schools.
00:10:10.000This is not working for me in Scottsdale, Arizona.
00:10:12.000This is not working for me in Cook County, Illinois, for those of you listening on AM 560, the answer, at District 214 or District 211.
00:10:21.000Instead, the movement is saying, you know what, give us our child.
00:12:44.000I'm thinking of someone else as Brazilian.
00:12:46.000And so the question for Angela Davis and for all these other people is: are you now willing to say out loud what you have always kind of hid behind nice slogans?
00:13:03.000Angela Davis is the woman who is largely responsible for pushing critical race theory, divisive racial politics through every single avenue of American life, from the military to our education system to our music.
00:13:20.000Angela Davis is someone who should be a household name.
00:13:24.000If you send your kid to college, if your kid is in college right now, they are being exposed to the garbage ideas from a vengeful, hateful, 77-year-old activist, communist activist by the name of Angela Davis.
00:13:40.000Now, Melissa Harris Perry is not a name that you might know, but Melissa Harris Perry was someone that I knew of quite well because she used to be on MSNBC all the time.
00:13:55.000She was considered to be the more radical voice on cable television for years, another Marxist.
00:14:01.000I haven't seen her very much recently.
00:15:15.000We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children.
00:15:22.000Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility.
00:15:26.000We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children.
00:15:29.000So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.
00:15:37.000Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the households, then we start making better investments.
00:15:43.000We have to realize the kids are a community object, not that it's part of your nuclear family.
00:15:48.000Now, interestingly enough, she's now an employee of National Public Radio.
00:15:53.000So, your tax dollars are paying for Melissa Harris-Perry.
00:15:56.000I'd prefer for her to be at MSNBC because at least it wouldn't be taxpayer-funded, even though I'm sure taxpayer dollars.
00:16:01.000Actually, taxpayer dollars go to MSNBC all the time.
00:16:03.000They're running these vaccine advertisements every 30 seconds, which, by the way, is one of the great handouts to these big media companies.
00:16:11.000You can judge a media company if they dare even ask questions about the vaccine from a media company, then they're in a category that deserves some praise.
00:16:23.000You know how easy it is to get a flow of money from AstraZeneca, Moderna, Pfizer, Johnson Johnson, the CDC, HHS, they are throwing money up this thing right now.
00:16:33.000So, MSNBC is running these spots every two minutes.
00:16:36.000Get vaccinated, get vaccinated, easy cash for a broken media company.
00:16:41.000Melissa Harris-Perry said, your kids don't belong to you.
00:16:47.000Now, it is policy in the Democrat Party.

00:17:49.000We have been warning about how the trans lobby is going to be endangering young women because they're going to allow young men that have mental problems who think they are women allowed into locker rooms.
00:18:04.000And we have been pushing back against this rather, I don't want to say unsuccessfully.
00:18:08.000There's been some wins and some losses, but the ACLU and all these major organizations, they are pathologically focused on trying to destroy regular gender norms and reinforce gender dysphoria.
00:18:22.000Now, gender dysphoria used to be something that was talked about and was accepted as a real thing.
00:18:29.000And now we have decided to reorganize society completely and to play into a very serious mental condition that people should get treatment for, they should get counseling for.
00:18:41.000And so in Loudoun County, you might remember this father that went to the school, Scott Smith, who was arrested for disorderly conduct for trying to speak out at the school board meeting.
00:18:53.000And then the National School Board Association calls him a domestic terrorist.
00:19:00.000I want every father listening to this to know this story.
00:19:04.000Well, he was there because on May 28th, a boy who pretends to be a girl, allegedly wearing a skirt, entered a girl's bathroom nearby Stonebridge High School and sexually assaulted his ninth grade daughter.
00:19:26.000This is according to Daily Wire and Washington Examiner.
00:19:30.000The family's attorney said, quote, a boy was charged with two counts of forcible sodomy and one count, and this is very graphic.
00:19:43.000So if you want to just talk about puppies and rainbows, go find another network.
00:19:49.000One count of anal sodomy and one count of forcible fellatio related to an incident that day at the school.
00:19:57.000The sheriff's office confirmed via a public records request that this was a real charge matching the date and location of Smith's rape.
00:20:08.000His ninth grade daughter gets raped in a bathroom by a man wearing a skirt who thinks he's a woman.
00:20:17.000Spare me the we need more Caitlin Jenners in the Republican Party, okay?
00:20:23.000Yet on June 22nd, during the school board's hearing on the proposed policy for transgender students, so men who think they are women or women who think they are men, I don't even use that term transgender, not after stories like this.
00:20:39.000School board member Beth Bartz said, quote, our students do not need to be protected and they are not in danger.
00:20:45.000The school board asks, do we have any assaults in our bathrooms or locker rooms?
00:22:12.000Do you see how tolerance and the willingness or the unwillingness to try to stand for truth against the world, against what's happening, can result in innocents being harmed?
00:22:29.000The Smith family said they contacted the special victims unit detective who reportedly told them, quote, I can't tell you what happened, but it's bad.
00:22:37.000The Washington Examiner says, when you talk about injustice, it doesn't get much worse than the case of Scott and Jess Smith.
00:23:10.000After you read a story like this, two of these, the guy that got arrested said, thank goodness I drew enough attention to this.
00:23:18.000Without getting arrested that night, we got an escort to the hospital and they administered a rape kit that night after his daughter was raped.
00:23:28.000At 4.48 on the day of the incident, the principal sent out an email to the community claim nothing jeopardizing student safety had occurred.
00:23:35.000These, the people running the Loudoun County public schools, they are More interested in protecting some sort of abstract transgender agenda than defending young girls who are being raped by men.
00:23:53.000Wasn't that the whole point of the Me Too movement?
00:23:56.000The whole point of the Me Too movement was protect our women, believe.
00:24:00.000The exception is if the attacker, the perpetrator, is actually a man pretending to be the woman, that person is higher in the victim hierarchy.
00:26:49.000They put the Loudoun County Public Schools School Board, transferred the rapist from one school to the other, and now another person is raped.
00:26:57.000And so the parents are the terrorists.
00:27:00.000I'm telling you, everybody, it's time to get to a whole nother level of outrage about this stuff.
00:27:06.000If your school district, which probably does has transgender bathrooms, your children are at risk.
00:27:12.000It's happened twice in Loudoun County schools.
00:27:14.000We need every parent to get engaged and involved now.
00:27:20.000We're going to post this story at charliekirk.com.
00:27:23.000We also had Monica Gill from Loudoun County Schools on, where they're trying, they're going after her because she refused to call kids that have mental illnesses that think they're a different gender by their preferred gender, even though she's like the sweetest person from Alliance Defending Freedom.
00:27:39.000You guys should go to charliekirk.com, click on the Alliance Defending Freedom banner and support them.
00:27:52.000Maybe it's going to take a bunch of high school girls being raped in bathrooms for moms and dads to realize: wow, this is not the country I thought that we were living in.
00:28:01.000And what's amazing is the school board keeps on covering it up.
00:28:04.000District spokesperson Wade Bard said that neither he nor the school board members could comment on the alleged assaults, although doing so would not risk revealing any student identities.
00:28:14.000Bayard also said the district could not confirm or deny that the assailant was the same student in both incidents.
00:28:25.000Either you keep on transporting the rapists to different schools so they can keep on going into women's restrooms and raping young girls in Virginia, or they got a much bigger problem on their hands than just one person in Virginia.
00:30:01.000But I'm telling you, when you have a rape of a ninth grader involved, that's going to be tough for a prosecutor to ignore.
00:30:08.000And at the very least, I bet this father files a civil lawsuit, which in that lawsuit, I think they're going to have a lot of revelations then.
00:30:16.000I think you're going to find documents.
00:30:22.000And if a Republican governor gets elected, but here's the conjecture, and bear with me here.
00:30:28.000I believe that the school board met privately in Loudoun County Public Schools.
00:30:37.000They knew about the rape, but they didn't want to deal with the backlash of the trans lobby, which is a vicious group of people, by the way.
00:33:11.000The political map is about to change significantly, and Democrats are going to be run out of positions of leadership all across the country.
00:33:18.000Let me reiterate this: Virginia has become solidly blue for years.
00:33:24.000Well, Virginia, specifically Northern Virginia, has become a suburb, literally, of Washington, D.C. Government contractors, lobbyists, lawyers, insiders, people that are part of the woke industrial complex, military industrial complex, the richest counties in America are the counties surrounding Washington, D.C.
00:33:52.000And the one thing, though, that is proving to break the back of the ruling class of Virginia, the people in the suburbs of Virginia that have their Gucci stores and their Hermes stores coming into Resden and Arlington, is all of a sudden when their daughters start getting raped and their kids get be called racist just because of the color of their skin.
00:34:17.000If Republicans continue the momentum in Virginia and these stories keep on coming out, Terry McAuliffe, the Clinton operative, is going to lose on November 2nd.
00:34:27.000We're going to keep our eyes very closely peeled on this race as results continue to come in in Virginia as we look at what's happening politically on the ground.
00:34:40.000Virginia race is more of a bellwether for 2022 and 2024 than I think people realize.
