Bubba Wallace and the FBI 00:14:54
Thank you for listening to this podcast one production.
Now available on Apple Podcasts, Podcast One, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts.
Hey, everybody, great to be back in the saddle.
Thank you for listening to our interview with President Trump.
If you have not checked it out, you guys have got to download the episode and listen to my exclusive interview with President Trump.
So while I was planning the rally for the president in Phoenix, Arizona, with over 3,000 students, I was still watching this story because I was so bothered when I saw this guy named Bubba Wallace.
Look, I didn't know Bubble Wallace up until a couple weeks ago.
I have a lot of respect for people in NASCAR.
I have a lot of friends in NASCAR, but NASCAR is not exactly my favorite activity in the world.
That's fine.
Everyone has their own preferences, and that's fine.
So when Bubba Wallace, who I'd never heard of before, he said, I found a noose in my garage.
And the team at the Charlie Kirk show, we have a text message to prove it.
They will tell you, I said, this is a hoax 100%.
Like, there's no way that what is being accused is that someone came in during this time of heightened racial tensions and put in a noose.
So on Monday, it was reported the FBI was investigating the discovery of a noose found in the Talladega Super Speedway garage of Bubba Wallace.
Now, mind you, he's NASCAR's only black driver.
So he's a total fool.
He walks around with his Black Lives Matter shirt.
And he was the big voice to try to ban the Confederate flags.
Again, I'm not a huge Confederate flag advocate.
I'm not someone that would ever associate with a Confederate flag.
However, I think that when people have Confederate flags, it's less in defense of what the Confederacy stood for and more about Southern pride and a culture that is uniquely Southern within the United States of America.
So I do not support the forcible removal of Confederate flags.
I don't.
But on the morning of Talladega, one of NASCAR's biggest races of the entire season, Bubba Wallace said he found a noose in his garage.
Now, mind you, because of the Chinese coronavirus, fans were not granted access to the infield or the restricted area of the Cup Series garage.
It's very important.
So under strict new health guidelines, a very limited number of people can access the garage where the cars are kept.
That would include crew members for each of the 40 teams, which are NASCAR employees.
Talladega staff members and any contracted safety crews or security guards were only people that had access to it.
So you're dealing with a limited population as it is.
Now, of course, the response to when he said he found the noose, it was so quick and overwhelming and reactionary.
As soon as I was watching it, I said, there's no way this is true.
It's just, first of all, it's hard to get restricted access into any sort of individual's private locker.
Second of all, during this time in our country, it would just be so illogical and improbable that someone would do this, especially to NASCAR's only black driver.
It didn't add up.
And so Jeff Gordon, who called it a cowardly act, NASCAR driver Michael McDowell said, God help us.
The level of evil it takes to do something like this is disgusting.
This is enraging and heartbreaking all at the same time.
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey said she was shocked and appalled by this vile act.
She fell for the hoax, as did many other conservatives.
I didn't, and I have the text messages to prove it.
I only wish I would have gone public with it, but I didn't because I said, I don't know.
I don't want to have to deal with the hysteria of that and the backtrack and this and that.
The vindication, by the way, would be nowhere even close to the canceling that I would have experienced if I would have done what I believed was a conjecture at the time.
Because I did it on just a little bit of gut instinct, but it turned out to be true.
And of course, LeBron James, who we have cataloged plenty of times on this show, who's a total fool, he said this, sickening.
Bubba Wallace, my brother, no, you don't stand alone.
I'm right here with you as well, as every other athlete is.
I just want to continue to say how proud I am for you to continue to stand and take a change here in America and in sports.
And the future ex-senator of Alabama, Doug Jones, who is also a fool and very lucky he ran up against who he ran up against.
He said, We're with you, Bubba.
The journey to racial justice has taken far too long.
Keep your eyes on Bubba Wallace at Talladega.
Keep that racist noose in your thoughts and ask, when will this end?
Maybe Bubba can get us a checkered flag a little bit sooner.
It's time, America.
Okay.
But if we've learned anything in the age of media coverage under Donald Trump, it's that things are not always what they might seem.
That's why I said what I said internally and I had our team.
I said, we're not issuing any statements.
By the way, I had people reaching out.
They said, well, Charlie, what's your thought on Bubba Wallace?
He said, I'll get back to you.
I don't really want to jump on it.
I mean, there's so many, there were other conservatives that were just tweeting out, like, oh, this is horrible.
This is awful.
I said, hold on a sec.
Slow down.
After Jussie Smollett, after the Covington thing, which I admit, I got the Covington thing wrong because I believe the media report.
I said, wait a second, I'm going to learn from this.
And how about the Kentucky gun range that ABC tried to pass off as a war in Syria?
If the media can exploit a hoax to hurt Trump or disparage his base, they absolutely will.

So as soon as this broke, the FBI sent down a team of 15 investigators to get to the bottom of this so-called hate crime.
So first of all, 15 FBI agents?
What are they going to go arrest Roger Stone?
I mean, it's unbelievable.
I mean, we can't get 15 FBI agents to go find out who's burning down American cities or to go arrest the domestic terrorists all across the country.
And what did they determine?
Well, as the Associated Press reported, U.S. Attorney Jay Town, an FBI special agent in charge, Johnny Sharp Jr., said its investigation determined: quote, although the noose is now known to have been in the garage number four in 2019, no one could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to Garage 4 last week.
Now, mind you, it was not a noose.
It looks like a noose, but it's not a noose.
It's a garage door closer.
A crew member for Richard Petty Motorsports discovered the thing that looks like the noose Sunday at the Alabama racetrack.
NASCAR was alerted and contacted the FBI, which sent 15 agents.
What are they going to go invade a Central American country?
I mean, 15, would five not have been sufficient?
My goodness.
And they determined that no federal crime was committed.
The statement said the garage stall was assigned to Wallace last week in advance of the race scheduled for Sunday, but held on Monday because of rain.
So through video, though, it confirmed by NASCAR, it was discovered that the thing that looked like the noose was there since October 2019.
And I just want to point out, and I've said this previously, I'm going to say it again.
Why is it that the FBI was so aggressive on this?
Where are their priorities?
Has the Bureau arrested anyone for these statues that I know of?
Maybe a couple people here and there, a little sparking violation citations.
But, like, real federal charges, here's some of the facts: it was a garage door opener, it looked like something bad.
It wasn't.
Now, I understand Bubba Wallace is not very intelligent.
I understand he's a total and complete fool.
But for him to double down and repeat this, maybe not, maybe Bubba Wallace can be like, wow, that looks like a noose.
Instead of making a media sensation around this, where everyone takes a lap with Bubba Wallace and they get the entire news cycle around it, maybe Bubba Wallace should have been like, huh, maybe it's a garage door opener.
Brilliant, Bubba Wallace.
But again, even now, you have the media covering for it.
I mean, there was a New York Times article that basically was like the complicated story about Bubba Wallace's discovery.
Like, it's really not that complicated.
You have a foolish, emotive, pathological individual, Bubba Wallace, who, again, he's not that smart, so you can't give him that hard of a time.
But this is so reckless.
It's so unbelievably reckless.
So then Bubba goes on CNN with Don Lemon, and the combined IQ of that duo is dangerously low.
And he said this quote: It was a noose.
It was a noose that whether it was tied to 2019 or whatever, it was a noose.
He said it three times.
How you know he's lying.
So it wasn't directed at me, but somebody tied a noose four times.
Playtape.
Have you seen ropes like that hanging from garages?
Is that typical?
Don, the image that I have and I have seen of what was hanging in my garage is not a garage pool.
I've been racing all my life.
We've raced out of hundreds of garages that never had garage pools like that.
So people that want to call it a garage pool and put out old videos and photos of knots being in there as their evidence.
Go ahead.
But from the evidence that we have and that I have, it's a straight up noose.
The FBI has stated it was a noose over and over again.
NASCAR leadership has stated that it was a noose.
I can confirm that.
I actually got evidence of what was hanging in my garage over my car around my picker guys to confirm that it was a noose and never seen anything like it.
It's not something I talked to my crew chief about.
I said, is this something like I wanted to make sure we weren't jumping the gun?
And I said, this isn't a knot.
This isn't just a regular old whatcha.
He's like, Bubba, this isn't something that can be done within a second of just tying a knot and being on the way.
This is something that took time.
So what are you saying here?
Are you saying that you don't believe?
Do you believe that it was intended for you in that way?
Or are you what are you saying here?
It was a noose.
It was a noose that was whether tied in 2019 or whatever.
It was a noose.
So it wasn't directed to me, but somebody tied a noose.
That's what I am saying.
It was, it is a noose.
So, of course, Don Lemon, who is again, you combine Bubba Wallace and Don Lemon's IQ and double it.
It doesn't even hit room temperature.
Okay?
Very low.
And by the way, Don Lemon did nothing to push back against this at all.
Nothing at all whatsoever.
Because they just want to make the point that America's racist.
Garage door opener looks like a noose.
Why not?
Is there any sort of intellectual maturity anymore in this country?
Is there any sort of maybe, hey, maybe, maybe it's not a noose?
Like, let's slow it down, everybody.
Maybe there's another utility for it.
Maybe it was used for something else, like opening and closing a garage.
Now, Al Sharpton, the charlatan, Sharpton, the Charlatan, he said that racism warrants further investigations because we have so much racism, we must continue to investigate play tape.
So, Reverend Sharpton, what Bubba Wallace is referring to there is that other reports that that was actually a door pull for the garage, the way to close the door when it's up and bring it down.
But the FBI, as Bubba Wallace said right there, again and again referred to it as a noose.
We should take it as good news that someone didn't place it into his stall specifically as the only full-time black driver in NASCAR who pushed to have those Confederate flags removed from NASCAR events.
And NASCAR did take that step last week.
But it does appear there was a noose, as the FBI is calling it, placed in that garage last fall.
The FBI identified it as a noose.
NASCAR said it was a noose or went along with the FBI's characterization.
It was a noose.
So the question is, even if they did not know that Bubba Wallace was going to use that stall, why was a noose in the stall?
It's clear what a noose represents.
And I think to go whether or not they knew that sooner or later the one black driver would use that stall really doesn't answer why it was in the stall at all.
And then did someone know that it was in the stall when they did belatedly assign Bubba there?
So I don't think this answers a lot of questions.
And clearly from what we just saw of Bubba Wallace, it does not seem he, who is the victim and possible target in this matter, seems to be satisfied with this.
I do not think that we've seen closure in this particular inquiry.
Now, did you see what happened there?
Even though the host knew that it was not a noose that was placed there with this malicious intent, he still kept pushing the hoax.
You should ask yourself why and then ask yourself this.
Why don't you ever see conservatives faking hate crimes against MAGA hat wearers?
Can you name one?
Because we don't have to.
Because they actually happen.
Do you remember the voter registration booth that got ran over in Florida because they were registering Republicans for the Florida Republican Party?
Do you remember the 14-year-old boy on the school bus that got viciously beat up for wearing a MAGA hat?
Or the 15-year-old boy who was violently attacked at a New Hampshire voter registration booth for supporting Trump?
It was an Antifa member who beat him, by the way.
Or how about Andy No, who's a gay Asian journalist who got beat in the street.
He had a brain bleed.
No one was arrested.
Antifa still prowls the streets to this day to commit terror.
By the way, did one of those Antifa people, did they commit the murder in chaos?
We don't know because we have no idea who did any of it.
What about the Covington Catholic kids who were framed and then set them up brutally to get attacked online?
Why Fake Hate Crimes Fail 00:04:45
By the way, go listen to our sister episode of ALX.
He reminded me that there were blue check verified people on Twitter that showed the Covington kids being killed and they kept their accounts.
I can go on and I could go on.
I can go on.
How about Candace Owens and I getting stormed out of a restaurant because we support the president?
How about Hayden Williams getting punched in the face on the campus of University of California, Berkeley?
How about our Turning Point USA chapter leader at Tulane University, whose dormitory was firebombed?
How about our Turning Point USA chapter in Park City, Utah, where over 18 kids were hospitalized because a leftist came in with bear spray?
You probably didn't hear that story in your local news media, did you?
Where Turning Point USA kids are getting punched in the face.
Their dormitories are getting firebombed.
And yet our kids continue to press on.
We're not playing victim.
We're not like the fool, Bubba, and Jussie Smollett, Bubba Smollett, where they're trying to create fake hate crimes so they can get attention.
Causes so much damage to our country.
We do not have to fake hate crimes because they actually happen to conservatives.
And you compare that to the left.
John Nulty at the terrific website, Breitbart News.
Alex Marlowe's coming back on our show sometime soon.
He's your friend.
Put together a list of at least nine different noose-related hate crime hoaxes in just the past 10 years.
None of them were true.
Now, what agenda are people like Bubba, Don Lemon, and Jussie Smollett trying to peddle?
And why?
That's the question that needs to be answered here.
Think about it.
The only reason they would do this is if they want to divide America racially so that they could win politically.
If you fake hate crimes, that is one of the most disgusting things that you can do.
And the fact that we do not hold these people accountable is unbelievably disturbing.
Now, in breaking news today, Jussie Smollett, the failed actor turned failed fake hate crime practitioner, the two Nigerian brothers that Jussie Smollett hired to pull off the fake hate crime, they're now turning on him.
Now, here's just some good words to the wise.
If you're going to fake a hate crime and accuse two white people wearing MAGA hats in negative 10-degree weather on the coldest day in Chicago in February, do not hire Nigerian brothers.
That's probably a bad idea.
Just a bad starting point.
Probably don't hire anyone.
First of all, don't fake hate crimes.
I have to say that media matters as listen to this.
But if you're going to fake a hate crime, also don't write a check, Jesse Smollett.
Everything is political to the left.
And what's really sick and sad is that there are real hate crimes out there, legitimate ones.
And the more fake hate crimes there are, the less likely we're able to actually find the ones that are legitimate and hold people accountable that do those unspeakable acts of evil.

Biden Campaign Poll Trends 00:12:48
What do you have to lose except wait, n-o-om.com/slash Charlie to start your trial today?
So new New York Times polling and Fox News polling shows Joe Biden up on Trump in key battleground states.
So let's walk through this.
And before I do, understand right now, this is not a true presidential election.
It's not Trump versus Biden.
This is more just like a temporary temperature check of the state of America.
What president right now would be winning a head-to-head matchup after the lockdown, after the shutdowns, 30 million people out of work, racial unrest, the media going after you relentlessly?
You've been impeached five months ago.
So in some ways, you have to take a lot of these polls in context.
And we have not yet had the chance to go relentlessly negative on Joe Biden, we being those of us that love our country.
And you have just this steady drumbeat of former Republicans that are deciding that they want to come out against Donald Trump.
You have Carly Fiorina, which I just want to talk about this one.
Carly Fiorina is someone that I knew quite well.
I considered her a friend, and I spent time with her back in the summer of 2015, 2016, 2017.
And she was never a fan of Donald Trump's, and that's fine, whatever.
And Donald Trump wins the presidency, and now she has endorsed Joe Biden.
And so Carly Fiorina is either a liar or she's changed her entire perspective, and now she hates America.
So she told me back when I knew Carly Fiorina back many years ago, I haven't talked to her in quite some time, and she spoke at Turning Point USA events.
She spoke at Turning Point USA events.
Incredible.
Went out of her way to go speak at Turning Point USA events.
She would say, I'm pro-life.
I love my country.
I put service to America over politics.
I'm going to do whatever it takes to make sure America continues to be the greatest country ever to exist in the history of the world.
And I'm a team player.
There was a test of every Republican running for president.
Will you support the eventual nominee if it's not you?
And everyone raised their hand except Trump.
Now, Trump ends up being the nominee, which ended up being hilariously awesome.
But Carly Fiorina raised her hand.
So she lied.
So is she no longer what she said she was?
So it's one of two options.
Either she's moved and she now hates her country, or she never was what she said she was, and she always hated the country.
And now she's just telling us who she always was.
So you have that.
You have Colin Powell, who's never found a sovereign country that he doesn't want to invade.
You have Condoleezza Rice.
You got Colin Powell, who lied in front of the United Nations about weapons of mass destruction.
So look, there's been a steady drumbeat, to say the least, against Donald Trump.
And so some of these new polls show that Biden allegedly has a double-digit lead in some of these states.
Now, mind you, I don't necessarily take these polls at face value.
I think they could be suppression polls, but the question is how much of a suppression poll they are.
So it might not be 11 points, but it might be four points.
Okay, that's still not good.
Okay, so I mean, it's a matter that they might be wrong, but how wrong are they?
Now, according to these polls, Trump's poor polling is driven by an erosion in support from white voters, one of his key constituencies.
Because now everything must be divided by race, I guess.
I hate this over-racialization of America.
Thank you to the American left for doing that.
The Cook political report, they're pretty fair.
They moved Michigan from toss-up to Leans Democrat last week.
This is a state with a lot of white working class voters.
How it is not a landslide.
But those who are polled on Trump's handling of the economy remains a bright spot for the president.
56% of those in Battleground States approve of the economic policies, of handling the protests against police brutality and racial justice.
Only 31% believe they handle them well.
And it just shows how sinister the media has been.
It's just extraordinary.
55% of the Battleground State voters say they believe the federal government should be working to limit the spread of the coronavirus, the Chinese coronavirus, even if it hurts the economy.
Only 35% said the federal government needs to restart the economy.
The Times national poll has Biden ahead by 14 points, 50 to 36%, and his margins have widened amid the virus.
Now, again, this is just, it's a temperature check.
We're not even campaigning yet, okay?
The more Joe Biden talks, the more this is going to narrow.
So do not lose faith right now.
I'll tell you when to start panicking politically, okay?
When I tell you that, you got a problem, okay?
This is why the left wants to keep the country closed and burning, closed and burning.
They want things to not be open and they want them to be on fire.
Okay.
By the way, can we just have the arsonists stay at home and then they can burn their own homes?
Why are the arsonists not just staying home so they could just burn where they live?
Go burn somebody else's house.
So look, are these polls desirable?
Of course not.
And they're probably wrong.
But are they 15, 20 points wrong?
No.
Okay.
There is a negative trend, and we have to be honest about that and deal with it.
You just think, like, oh, we're up by 20.
Stop.
People say, oh, I think we're going to win a 50-state landslide.
I love those people.
Thank you.

Most people right now are not even totally aware of the Biden campaign.
I talked to a dear friend of mine in Chicago, lifelong Democrat, and we get along well.
And I knew her kids.
I went to high school with her, and I was talking to her about some neighborhood stuff.
This was going on with people I grew up with.
And I said, hey, who are you voting for?
And obviously it was Joe Biden.
I said, okay, well, what do you think about Joe Biden's mental and cognitive decline?
And I've known her well enough, and she was incredibly serious.
And she said, what are you talking about?
Joe Biden's in great health.
What are you talking about?
I said, have you seen anything about Joe Biden's slip-ups or him confusing his wife with his sister?
Or have you seen anything about Joe Biden forgetting what state he's in or what president he served for?
Oh, no.
I said, all I've seen is Trump not being able to walk down a ramp or Trump slurring his words or Trump not being able to drink a glass of water.
And I thought to myself, my goodness, our message is not getting out there as much as it should.
Our message is not penetrating the mass population like we might think it is yet.
And that's why you guys need to keep on spreading the Charlie Kirk show far and wide.
I mean, I thought that Biden's cognitive decline would be something that basically every American would be aware of.
Now, as an inverse to that, and I've talked about this on a previous episode of the Charlie Kirk show, I don't see the enthusiasm for Joe Biden.
If you look at the underpolling of this, there's not enthusiasm for Biden.
So to try to make up for that, they just want people to stay at home.
I had another friend who went to Portland over the weekend.
He saw Black Lives Matter pro-Marxist anti-American signs in nearly every single window.
Literally hundreds of them.
Do you know how many Joe Biden signs he saw?
Two.
Now, mind you, Oregon's one of the whitest states in the entire country.
So the self-loathing and hatred is so destructive for a country.
There were more Bernie Sanders signs than Biden signed.
There's going to be an undervote there if Trump can get within the margin of error by October 1st.
Now, look, like any good football game, you gotta, you gotta, or any basketball game, you gotta kind of carpamentalize this, right?
Compartmentalize this.
So what the Trump campaign should be doing is like, hey, take a deep breath.
Let's get Biden's numbers down and our numbers up, okay?
This is what the campaign should be doing.
And they are.
They have great leadership and they're going to figure it all out.
But just from a broader perspective, put your mind at ease.
Early August, they should say by August 1st, we want Biden's favorables to go down by five points, and we want to be within four points in the moving averages.
And if you keep that trend going, right now the trend is bad.
So you have to draw the line in the sand and get the trends going in the right direction.
So look, I saw this video of Joe Biden.
He was hosting a rally, which composed of four people, and it was a great attendance for him.
It was really good to see Joe Biden back in front of big crowds.
It was probably double the size of his last crowd, too.
So it was four people.
And so Joe Biden, he said that there was 120 million people that were killed by COVID-19.
Play tape.
Unnecessarily.
Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID.
Now, that's very interesting because according to Joe Biden, 150 million Americans have also been killed by guns.
Play tape.
150 million people have been killed since 2007 when Bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability.
More than all the wars, including Vietnam.
Well, that leaves only 60 million Americans alive.
I mean, the Biden death count is pretty dramatic.
I mean, the carnage that according America, Joe Biden's America is like dead, literally.
In Joe Biden's America, it's incredible.
I mean, and look, I go previously, my friend in Chicago, she didn't know any of this is happening.
This is not a campaign yet.
This is a referendum on a singular president.
And it's a very important point to make.
The media doesn't want a real campaign to exist because once it's Trump versus Biden and a real campaign happens, Trump's numbers are going to soar.
Campaigns are a binary choice.
These polls make it look like it's a binary choice, but we haven't had that discussion yet.
The press wants an up or down vote on Trump, a referendum on Trump.
And referendums are really hard to win.
Just ask Winston Churchill, who lost referendums.
Just ask Maggie Thatcher, who lost referendums.
Campaigns where voters must choose between two choices tend to be an even playing field, especially in Battleground State.
This is why you see the president and his campaign trying to force this back into an actual campaign season, a choice into two different visions for America.
Notice what happens as soon as Trump gets back on the road.
The media swarms the campaign and heaps all this Chinese coronavirus coverage on them.
You see Governor Cuomo doing a really tough interview with his brother, Chris Cuomo.
Like that one's really tough.
And you see this headline.
Governor Cuomo torches Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, now the Red State governor's quote, you played politics of the virus and you lost.
This is part of the narrative we are facing in Arizona ahead of Trump's visit.
And we won and we did terrific.
The COVID deaths per 100,000 residents, though, in New York City, 160, Arizona, 21, Florida, 15, Texas, 8, according to the Washington Post.
The hysteria surrounding this viral pandemic is awful.
Daniel Horowitz, a conservative review, had a great piece on this recently.
He said this.
Arizona Chinese coronavirus spread is alarming and action is needed, Expert Warren read a title of Arizona Republic article on Wednesday.
Yahoo News breathlessly warned about a spike in the southwestern states.
The truth is that new hospitalizations coming in for serious coronavirus or Chinese coronavirus infections are actually really low.
What they're actually counting are the extra people coming in for all the delayed health care caused by the lockdowns.
But thanks to universal testing in hospitals, they're discovering more asymptomatic cases than ever before, which had nothing to do with the original purpose of the hospital states.
Such a brilliant point.
Daniel Horowitz is so smart.
The virus is much more widespread, asymptomatic, and less deadly than it was before.
The ER patients are coming in, as the Arizona State Health Director, Dr. Kara Christ, said, because of the bottleneck of a much needed care and serious ailments that were ignored during the lockdown.
All but a few who actually came to the ER because of COVID-19 or Chinese coronavirus symptoms likely never knew they had it.
This is why we are not seeing a big spike of deaths in any of the states where the media is warning about an increase in detected cases.
And we're still told all of this is because of a pandemic.
It's been 84 days since Joe Biden has held a press conference, but it's not about a pandemic at all.
Joe Biden still thinks he has the winning formula.
Don't campaign.
Less is more.
No gaffes.
No self-inflicted mistakes.
As the nation riots and protests, they know by keeping Biden quiet, it helps pin the turmoil on Trump, and he will own it.
These are unprecedented times.
Really, they're trying to create an up or down vote on Trump.
And if that is the case, Trump will lose.
But if it is Trump versus Biden, Trump versus someone, and Trump can define the election, Trump has a fighting shot.
The 1619 Project Debate 00:02:30
Now, one story I want to end with is the founder of the 1619 Project, which their podcast is beating our podcast and the podcast charts today.
So it is your moral prerogative to type in Charlie Kirk show to your podcast provider, hit subscribe, give us a five-star review screenshot on the emails that you did at freedom at charliekirk.com to win a signed copy of the MAGA Doctrine because the 1619 project should not be beating the Charlie Kirk show, but it is.
We're not going to be a victim.
We'll be a victor and we will rise above their propaganda and anti-American Marxist hatred of our country.
So the founder of the 1619 project, Nicole Hannah-Jones, yeah, total rocket scientist, she said that the white race are barbaric devils, bloodsuckers, and Columbus no different than Hitler.
In an indication of what was to come, the founder of the New York Times 1619 Project, according to the Federalists, great website, do a great job, penned a lengthy racist screed attacking all white people in 1995.
The absolute total bitter racist, who should be taken less seriously.
But of course, if you're racist against white people, you get promoted and you get taken very seriously.
She wrote a letter to the editor in Notre Dame's The Observer stating that, quote, the white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, and pillager and thief of the modern world.
That's awfully racist.
And this transitions to now, for the first time in American history, the majority of people under the age of 16 are non-white and Hispanic.
I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing.
It's just factually the way it is.
And so now it's going to be very soon.
The demographic reality is that white people will be a minority and white people are also being told that you're the worst people in the world.
Do not apologize for how God made you.
You're immutable characteristics.
You're made in the image of God.
Do not take a knee because you're white.
Do not take a knee to anyone except Jesus or God.
And don't apologize for something you had nothing to do with.
We don't believe in blood guilt.
We don't believe in generational apology for something that you were related to someone that did something.
And by the way, maybe your ancestors did good things, not bad things.
It is uniquely un-American and anti-Western to apologize for something you did not do.
And yet that's what the left wants to do.
And yeah, you know who should apologize?
It's the author of the 1619 project that calls you as a white person a barbaric devil, that calls you a blood-sucking leech and says that white people are the biggest rapists and pillagers in the modern world.
Oh, and she also won a Peel at Surprise.
So I don't know if that says more about her or more about the Peel at Surprise, but it's awfully instructive, the state of literature in our country.
Get involved in the culture where everybody.

Rejecting Generational Apology 00:01:19
People are asking me, Charlie, what can I do?
Here's what you can do: do something today you didn't do yesterday, where you sacrifice something for truth and stand with courage.
If you're not sacrificing something right now, then you're just a spectator in this sport.
Or you're just a spectator in this exercise to save America.
Be a participant.

And we were very, let's just say we were very busy hosting the president.
So we had a little less episodes this week than usual.
But the president of the United States coming to Phoenix was one of the hardest things that we had to pull off in the midst of a pandemic and a mayor that was attacking us and a city council that was condemning us and the media that was targeting us.
But we're not, we don't complain.
It went off without a hitch.
3,300 young people in a room.
And if you didn't hear about it, the media intentionally tried to censor it from you.
And the president's support was terrific there.
107-degree weather.
And young people showed up in amazing, amazing remember.
