What is a border?
Is a border a suggestion or is it something that defines sovereignty?
That is the beginning and the end of a nation.
The idea of a border is not an outdated or antiquated idea.
In fact, in the podcast we dropped last evening and it went well into today.
I encourage you to check it out.
We talked about just because something is old does not mean it is outdated.
Sometimes that's the case, but that's not necessarily true.
What is a border?
Do borders matter?
Well, a border is where a nation says this is where our control, our sovereignty, begins and ends.
It's literally the difference between life and death in certain parts of the world, between North and South Korea.
Most famously, and most young people are not taught about this at all, East and West Germany or East and West Berlin, India and Pakistan.
Borders matter.
There is an increasing anti-border movement within our country.
We call these people open borders.
We also call them globalists.
Many people on the left and on the corporate right believe that borders are an antiquated, outdated, ancient idea.
You see, we sophisticated citizens, we understand that borders must be eliminated.
We understand that borders are what prevents us from living in a one-world community.
What's happening right now on our southern border is a crisis.
And it's the first crisis that I can think of in my lifetime that was created quickly and intentionally.
This is absolutely at the making of Joe Biden.
Joe Biden did not inherit a border crisis.
Joe Biden did not come into office with a surge of unaccompanied minor children.
And I'm going to walk through exactly what that means.
It did not have to be this way.
The southern border is now becoming such a crisis that even CNN is covering it.
Yesterday, the mayor of McAllen, Texas was on CNN talking about what was happening on the southern border.
We're going to walk through the specifics and the numbers.
And I'm going to say something that I hope Media Matters writes up.
That's right.
I actually hope they write it up.
The crisis on the southern border and the threat that is growing is currently a bigger threat to the United States of America than the Chinese coronavirus.
It's a threat to our sovereignty.
It's a threat to the rule of law.
It's a threat to our way of life.
It's a threat also because people are coming with the Chinese coronavirus.
There are 7,000 unaccompanied minors in shelters.
I laugh when people say human beings are basically good.
How can human beings possibly be basically good when you see 7,000 families that just abandon their kids and say, we're going to sell you for cash so you could walk across the southern border with either a cartel member, a smuggler, or a human trafficker?
What we learned on our podcast yesterday, which I encourage you to check out, the Charlie Kirk Show podcast on Apple Podcast or Spotify, Tom Holman informed us, and he said a term, and I made him stop.
I said, what do you mean by that?
He said, oh, yeah, well, there are thousands of children that are rented on the southern border every month.
I said, what do you mean rented?
What are they, a Yukon XL?
Are they a Ford Explorer?
What do you mean rented?
Is it a home video?
What kind of a term to use child and rented?
Who does that?
He said, oh, yeah, this happens all the time on the southern border.
Children are rented.
Where you'll have a cartel member that wants to get into the United States, someone that wants to be involved in drug smuggling.
But he currently doesn't have a child that he can cross the border with.
So in order to get asylum status, in order to get a favorable judgment if he is caught, he will either cross the border in anticipation of being caught with that child or just go into a port of entry and declare asylum status with the child.
Now, President Trump developed a creative solution called the Remain in Mexico solution, where basically, if you come here and declare asylum to wait for your court date, you must wait in Mexico.
You don't get released into the interior of the United States.
Currently, the surge happening on the southern border is one of the greatest increases we have ever seen.
7,000 unaccompanied minors in just the last couple of weeks.
7,000.
Rough estimates show that over 100,000 illegals are passing into the interior every single month.
We are the most powerful nation in the history of the world, and we're basically now being reduced to groveling for volunteers.
That's what we're doing now.
Please come and help on the southern border.
This is all manufactured.
This is all created.
One of the most frustrating lies that I have to encounter, and I have to say it's mostly from suburban voters that believe this is the fallacy of shared intentions or the fallacy of shared outcomes.
We hear all the time, well, we all want the same thing, we just have different ways of getting there.
And I'm sure you've heard that.
And I'm sure in certain circumstances, it's absolutely true.
If you're dealing with a genuine moderate, you're dealing with someone that loves their country.
But less and less, and almost to an extent that's non-existent, I do not believe that we want the same thing.
There is no way that you can have the same intentions that we have, the people that love our country, and forget the term conservative, forget the term Republican, just someone who loves their country, and then make the decisions that Joe Biden and his administration have made when it comes to the southern border.
You must have different intentions.
You must desire a separate outcome.
It is impossible to believe.
In fact, I refuse to believe that the intentions behind what is happening is pure.
The Department of Homeland Security is now calling for volunteers.
Gensaki refused to acknowledge that this is even a problem.
So why are they doing this?
What is their intention?
It's partially this.
It's generosity gone wrong.
That's part of the answer, but it's not the whole answer, and it's not even the most important part of the answer.
To attribute what's happening on the southern border as well-intentioned activists running our government that now have an unexpected crisis on their hands does not accurately depict how malevolent these people are.
So now we have a situation on our southern border that will jeopardize our way of life and everything that we know.
And I'm going to keep on diving into it.
My buddy Ed Zeman has a new thing you got to check out.
Maybe you are an RV person and you are looking for a good RV resort.
I saw this resort.
It is world-class.
And so if you are taking your RV around the country and maybe listening to the Charlie Kirk show, I know a lot of people are.
There's a great place for it.
It's thetidesrvresort.com.
It's very close to the Tampa-St. Petersburg area.
It's a luxury RV resort that was just completed in 2020 and has spared no expense to bring you the best in comfort and beauty.
I have been there, and again, I could tell you it's remarkable.
It has everything you could want as a high-end RV owner, including two pools, a clubhouse, 30-acre lake, a billiard room, card room, office kayaking on the river, and plenty more things to do for an active lifestyle.
So go to thetidesrvresort.com or call them directly at 941-244-5744.
The Tides RV Resort is amazing.
It's the best I've ever seen.
Again, it's operated by my good friends, the Zeman family.
They are outstanding American entrepreneurs and patriots and deserve your business.
If you are an RV person, which I know a lot of people are, then this is the place for you.
Experience this beautiful country and go to a free and open state in Florida.
Don't let the lockdowns get in the way of you living your life.
Go to the Tides RV Resort, and I promise you, you won't regret it.
Keith emailed us.
I love the wisdom of our listeners and our viewers.
In fact, I have a fun story to share about that, which I will do so later in the show.
Keith says, it's not generosity going wrong.
Biden and the rest of the globalists want to destroy America and rebuild some kind of communist, socialist utopia.
Good to see you, Charlie.
I hope all is well.
All is well, except our country is currently going through a crisis, a legitimate crisis on the southern border.
And it seems, it's very interesting.
Only if you study history are you able to use the term unprecedented.
You see, history matters, and it matters more than I think people realize.
We don't teach our children history anymore.
Instead, we teach them selected narratives from the last couple hundred years to try and establish a belief that America is a racist, bigoted, homophobic, colonialist country, of which it is not true at all.
And so only if you study history are you able to see whether or not something is unprecedented and whether or not something is a danger to your country.
Again, this all comes back to the struggle of human nature.
If you believe human nature is malleable and is able to be changed, then history really doesn't mean much to you because you're smarter than everyone who came before you.
So why on earth would you study history?
If you think human beings act in predictable patterns and they're likely to do things that they've done before, whether it be civilizationally or politically or personally, then history is a really important guide.
And we know that looking back into history, open and porous borders are dangerous for a culture, a civilization, and a country.
And now just looking in the last couple of years, what we are seeing at the southern border, the numbers related to it are unprecedented in every single sense.
We are now expecting around 100,000 border apprehensions.
Those are just the people that are being apprehended.
Tom Homan, who was on our podcast, I encourage you to check it out, said that there's over 100,000 getaways a month.
A getaway is someone who just slips through the cracks and no one stops him or her.
There's a video that I have on Facebook that has been viewed over 35 million times.
It's when I decided to go visit the southern border.
I decided to go visit the southern border with Art Del Cuerto, a good friend of mine who he's a border patrol agent himself, and he helps run the border patrol union on the southern border.
And he brought me right down to the southern border, and I saw myself how wide open, porous the boundary between the United States and Mexico is.
You could walk freely if you chose.
There is no wall, there is no barrier, and that is right there in right near Tucson, Arizona, that sector right near Nahalis that guns, drugs, and children are sex trafficked every single day.
And so this idea that the people running our country have any interest at all, securing the southern border is incorrect.
They say that to get elected.
Oh, we want some form of border security.
They don't.
Their intention is an open border.
And I also don't think, I think that Republicans deserve some criticism here.
How is it possible that in an era of new technology that we do not have thousands of drones on the southern border, not armed, but for reconnaissance, thermal detectors?
I don't understand why we have not updated some of the technological advances to be able to have a zero tolerance policy on the southern border.
Zero.
There should not be one human being crossing the southern border.
And another thing that really frustrates me is how we're describing the border jumpers that are coming into our country.
I know a lot of legal immigrants, and they love this country.
And they waited in line to come into America.
They did the right thing.
They didn't commit crimes.
They paid their taxes.
They waited in line, are now here.
Some of them have vibrant businesses.
They love President Trump from Eastern Europe or Southeast Asia.
Those are immigrants.
We cannot, should not call the people that illegally enter into our country and break the law an immigrant.
That is not an immigrant.
In fact, it's an insult to everyone that has come here legally and our process that allows those people to come here legally.
And to conflate the two is deceiving and dangerous.
Look, you've heard me talk about my pillow.
And if you want to support Mike Lindell, do it through my pillow.
And a lot of people are saying it's literally changing their life.
They won't go flat, and you can wash and dry them as many times.
But all that aside, Mike Lindell, a lot of you are asking me, how do I support Mike Lindell?
I love what he's doing.
I think he has great character.

Okay, so let's get to some sound here.
Joe Biden has to own this border crisis.
Now, even the activist media is being forced to cover this in some way.
Let's go to cut 24, where Joe Biden just ignores questions from reporters.
Now, something very interesting is happening.
The activist media is now feeling the financial pressure of not having Donald Trump around.
The Huffington Post laid off, I think it was like 60 or 70 people.
And by the way, in a very cruel way, mind I add.
And the Huffington Post is not exactly an institution that I think is worthy of preservation for the advancement of Western civilization.
However, it was pretty heartless the way that they laid off these Huffington Post reporters.
With that being said, that got more coverage and sympathy in the activist Twitter sphere than the Keystone XL pipeline getting signed away through an executive fiat.
But the press is feeling the financial pressure.
In fact, we'll get the...
Oh, you see, producer Andrew is on top of it.
He is now throwing the receiver open.
I miss football.
Mainstream media web traffic has slumped by 20% after President Trump left office, with the press writing three times fewer stories about Biden than they did about Trump in the same month he took office in 2017.
Basically, traffic, revenue, and profits are going down.
The media needs to justify their huge overhead.
So some of them are saying, hey, there must be some story out here somewhere, something we can ask Joe Biden to sell newspapers.
Here's one brave soul trying that.
Cut 24.
And then if I did this.
Let's go, you guys.
Come on.
Asking, is there a crisis at the border, sir?
And Joe Biden looks, at best, dazed and confused.
Now, another reporter, this is probably one of the reporters that got laid off at the Huffington Post.
She believes, or he, I haven't seen this clip, but I've read the transcript, believes the most pressing issue of our time is whether or not there is a White House cat.
Play Cut 25.
You've had all about dogs.
We were promised a White House cat.
What happened to that?
Where is the cat?
Today's a good day for the cat.
I don't have any update on the cat.
We know the cat will break the internet, but I don't have any update on its status.
Real investigative journalism.
And so here's an actual question that's being asked, unlike whether or not there is a cat in the White House.
Kid you not.
That's a legitimate question.
Do you think Kaylee McEnany got a question like that?
Do you think Sarah Sanders or Sean Spicer?
Basically, the question that was asked out of Kaylee McEnany every single day is, does Donald Trump enjoy beating you guys in the morning with a rod?
Does he enjoy that?
That's like the question, which of course is the old fallacy.
There's no way you could possibly answer that question.
Cut 26, a reporter asks about the amount of migrants in this country.
Again, these are not migrants.
These are border jumpers.
Cut 26.
Follow up on that, Jim.
Thanks.
There are reports out there that the number of unaccompanied migrants detained at the border has tripled in the last two weeks to 3,200 plus.
Is that number accurate?
I'm not going to confirm numbers from here.
Obviously, the Department of Homeland Security and others oversee the programs and the engagements that happen at the border.
Those numbers are tracked by the Department of Homeland Security.
So I'm certainly, I'm just suggesting that you talk to them about specifics.
They won't confirm the numbers.
I would encourage you to go back to them and ask them again.
We're not going to confirm them from the White House.
It's not our program.
Not our responsibility.
It's a different government.
That's basically the argument she's making.
Department of Homeland Security, it's not like it's a cabinet position or anything.
Now, of course, Joe Biden ran on the buck stops here.
Elect me.
I'm going to solve all your problems.
And for people that are now regretting their Biden vote, I know some of these people, they say, well, I didn't vote for this.
Wow.
Cut 36, Biden administration saying that the crisis, the border, is not a crisis, and that we don't need to put labels on it because we know it.
Cut 36.
Do you believe that right now there's a crisis at the border?
I think that the answer is no.
At this point, is this a crisis at the border?
Look, I don't think we need to sit here and put new labels on what we have already conveyed is challenging.
And so a lot of people are asking now: well, what should our border policy be?
Well, first of all, we should have a zero tolerance policy for anyone crossing into our country illegally.
And so Joe Biden and the Democrats want a suggestion of a southern border, almost a non-existent southern border.
And why do they want that?
They want millions of people to come into the country because eventually they believe they'll vote Democrat.
They can use it as a political issue, despite the amount of crime that is then being imported into our country.
This idea of the peaceful illegal is just not true.
And most people are afraid to talk about this because they are afraid they're going to be called the R-word.
Well, we talk about facts on this program, and here they are.
In the fiscal year 2019, ICE agents arrested more than 143,000 people in the interior of the United States.
The most convictions or criminal charges pending against them were DUI, 74,000, drug offenses, 67,000, and 1,900 convicted of homicide.
That's right, 1,900 murderers that are just allowed to come straight into our country.
Convictions or criminal charges of the aliens arrested also included 1,800 homicide-related crimes, 1,600 kidnappings, 37,000 assaults, and 10,000 sex crimes.
Of those, 4,276 were known or suspected gang members, 675 of whom are believed to have been gang members of the brutal MS-13.
31 were known or suspected terrorists.
Of all those arrested by ICE in fiscal year 2020, 90% had criminal convictions or charged at the time of arrest.
The Founding Fathers warned us about something, and I mentioned this on Steve Hilton's program on Fox News, and it resonated with some people, but I think I could build it out a little bit better here, which is the Founding Fathers warned us that if you were ever in a set of circumstances where the rulers, the people that make the laws, the people that administer the rules and laws, don't live under the laws that they pass,
then you will no longer have a republic.
You will have a dictatorship or a tyranny.
That is the ultimate description.
That is the best way to describe the death of a republic when you have people that make the rules that don't live under the rules.
We went under this.
We lived through this, I should say.
We went through this in the Obamacare debate when Congress was exempting themselves from Obamacare.
Understand that members of Congress are exempt from the cost and the consequences of illegal immigration.
Their neighborhoods, their private schools, their colleges, their corporations, their country clubs will not be impacted by another 5 million Nicaraguans coming into America.
Meanwhile, 17 million Americans remain unemployed in the United States, all seeking full-time work.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that 6.9 million people are out of the labor force entirely and 6.1 million people remain underemployed.
So, therefore, by definition, you bring in another 5 or 6 million people into the country.
Well, whose jobs are they going to take?
And will it actually result in wages going higher?
The answer is, of course, not.
But we have a set of circumstances.
We have a group of rulers that are not impacted day to day by the decisions they make against you at all.
Instead, they're able to say, we want you to live a certain way because it will benefit our own political future.
Republicans want open borders like Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney because it benefits their corporate agenda.
Jake on our team mentioned something the other day.
He went to Bain Capital's website.
I encourage you to go to Bain Capital's website.
Bain Capital, which is Mitt Romney's former employer.
He started Bain Capital, whatever.
And it says on there that they are going to dedicate $100 million to woke capital investments or black-driven enterprise, right?
Something like that.
We'll get the exact wording.
Bain Capital wants open borders.
Bain Capital, right here, our commitment to achieving racial equity and social justice, provide more than $100 million to our partners over the next 10 years to organizations focus on social justice, civil rights, and racial equality.
Create economic development initiative, improve diverse representation.
The time for change is now.
We must do better.
We are committed.
This is all part of a woke supremacist agenda, or what we call the woke industrial complex.
And basically, it benefits everyone except the country and people who love the country.
And the open border crisis that we have right now contributes to this directly.
Instead of addressing the crisis we have in America of mental health, suicide, opioid addiction, business closures, the death of entrepreneurship, student debt, the erosion of the middle class, our leaders say, you know, the way that we're going to be able to address all of this?
Let's open up the floodgates to the third world with no attempts whatsoever to try to stem or prevent this and remake America quickly in our image.
If a country does not have a shared history, language, or culture, it is no longer a country.
And it comes down to this fundamental question: is America our home or is it a colony?
Or most importantly, is America a country that has an economy in it or is America an economy that happens to be within a country?
America's our home and it's our country.
The economy comes second.
So, are you making full use of your savings?
Think of the times that you've yearned for better returns.
After real inflation, charges, and taxes, are you even making a profit?
With food, clothing, and rent all more doubling over the last 10 years, you need to do something different.
Gambling on Robin Hood or stocks might lose you everything you have.
And like thousands of others, you want to retire stress-free.
A precious metals IRA with Noble Gold could be the answer you've been looking for.
And this month, Noble Gold is gifting a genuine, rare Carson City-minted Morgan silver dollar with every qualifying IRA or 401k.
These coins were around in a time when an ounce of silver was worth a dollar.
For example, in 1893, a mint condition coin is now worth more than $3,250, a staggering 32,500% increase.
That's a return of 2,500% a year.
It is a hedge against inflation.
We know inflation is coming.
So, if you want something you can touch and something you can feel and something you can trade and something that is real, go to noblegoldinvestments.com and tell them the Charlie Kirk show sent you.
NobleGoldInvestments.com or call 877-646-5347.
That's noblegoldinvestments.com.
It's Wednesday, so that means we go right into the professor watch list, professorwatchlist.org.
That's professorwatchlist.org.
You guys can read alongside me, a project of Turning Point USA, where we profile professors so you understand where your tuition dollars are going and why the country is headed in a very uncertain direction.
Today's Professor Watchlist, we are talking about Amber Catherine.
She is a professor at Santa Monica College.
She's a professor of philosophy.
Now, before I go any further, philosophy comes from two Greek words: philo, which means love.
It's where we get the idea of brotherly love, not agape love, not storge love or eros love, but phileo love, brotherly love, but a love that is non-romantic, but still very serious and respected, and wisdom.
So, the love of wisdom.
That's where we get the word philosophy from.
As I start to talk more about Amber Catherine, you can see she does not love wisdom.
So, Catherine, Amber Catherine, teaches your children this.
She serves as a co-organizer of an event, facilitating and helping students marry the ocean.
That's right, she oversees a pagan ceremony where students are able to participate in a ceremony of giving their vows to nature.
She called this the eco-sextravravaganza, the eco-sextravaganza, described as a quote, rallying call to incite intergenerational barrier-busting planetary dialogue.
According to the COSER, and I'm reading from professorwatchlist.org, remember, these are the people that are teaching your children and grandchildren.
Aren't you lucky to spend $70,000 a year to have these very enlightened people teach your children?
A student newspaper at Santa Monica College covering the event: students underwent an eco-boot camp as part of the eco-sex travaganza.
Organizers included University of California Professor Elizabeth Stevens and a pornographic actress, Annie Sprinkle.
Organizers, in fact, instructed the students in attendance to, quote, view earth as a lover rather than as a mother or another being rather than a separate entity.
In another interview with Campus Reform, Catherine stated the goals of the event were for students to develop a deeper love and lust for America.
So when I say the left is actually engaged in earth worship, they are.
Participants marry the ocean in a ceremony conducted on the beach the following day.
Quote, today we stand upon this holy earth and in this sacred space to witness the rite of matrimony between the sea and us all.
And students happily participate in this.
You see, this is what happens when you have no God.
You have no wisdom.
Therefore, you enter a state of confusion and you don't understand what the purpose of nature is.
So because Amber Catherine has no wisdom, she looks around and she says, well, nature must be there for us to have some sort of eco-sextravaganza relationship with.
And your children learn this.
Why do you think that young millennials in Santa Monica who are married don't want to have children?
Maybe because they've been learning from Amber Catherine that children pollute the earth and we work for the earth and we are nothing but visitors here on this planet, which of course, biblical wisdom will tell you the exact opposite, that the earth is here for us.
I believe in human supremacy over the planet.
All human beings, by the way, there's a human hierarchy.
The water, the sun, the mountains, the air, the birds, and the animals are there for our pleasure, our flourishing, our multiplication, our replication.
We are not here to get in some sort of a strange relationship with the earth.
We should not abuse the earth.
We should respect it, and it's in our self-interest to do so.
But indulging in this quasi-paganistic belief that Amber Catherine advances shows exactly the heart of the American environmentalist movement.
And it's headquartered on a college campus near you.
I love some of the emails that we get here.
Here's one from Tom, emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
Charlie, thank you so much for mentioning the Federalist article yesterday about the Naperville School District 203 bringing in the critical race theory program to teachers.
My child goes to the Naperville School District, and I didn't know about this.
This stuff obviously goes on without public knowledge.
I'm sick to my stomach.
This is patent racism against everyone, frankly.
I read both articles on the Federalist wrote last night.
The school district is shameful from this.
I hope more parents will be informed and involved now.
Thank you.
So yesterday, I spent time with some friends, and they listened on AM560, The Answer, and they listened to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast, of which we are very thankful.
And I was talking to some guys that were running for school board, really good guys, and they're doing the right thing.
And they did not even know about the Illinois State Board of Education new guidelines that were put in.
There are people that are in the positions or running to be in the positions that don't even know everything that's happening in these states or these school districts.
So that's what we try to do here.
We try to have exposure.
We are doing what the activist media is supposed to do.
In fact, that is the theme of our upcoming episode with Cheryl Atkinson, who's terrific.
So make sure to check that out.
I've never seen Such powerful people complain so much and try to get sympathy from the rest of the population.
Have you noticed how the ruling class, when anything doesn't go their way or they don't have record sales that they want or desire, the new way to give yourself permanency, well, it's first, the first way is by buying progressive insurance and no, not the company, is do the correct woke action items and that will save your career.
The second thing, though, then, is to then play the victim, like Megan Markle.
Now, Piers Morgan, I don't know if Piers Morgan was fired or Piers Morgan resigned from Good Morning Britain.
Is that the name of the show?
Good morning, Britain.
I don't know if he resigned or was fired, but it's outrageous.
Pierce said nothing wrong.
In fact, I went way more direct after Megan Markle.
And I can tell you right now, we're not going anywhere.
For whatever reason, Megan Markle is not allowed to be criticized.
Very ungrateful, unhappy woman, Megan Markle.
And Tucker Carlson played on this perfectly.
Tucker, I think, is one of the wisest people on television.
He talked about Taylor Lorenz and how on International Women's Day, she complained about how hard life is.
This is a very important point that I want to build out.
But first, let's let Tucker begin the argument.
Play tape.
The most powerful people claiming to be powerless.
Taylor Lorenz, for example, writes for the New York Times.
She's at the very top of journalism's repulsive little food chain.
Lorenz is far younger than prominent New York Times reporters used to be.
She's also much less talented.
You'd think Taylor Lorenz would be grateful for the remarkable good luck that she's had, but no, she's not.
Just this morning, she tweeted this: quote, for International Women's Day, please consider supporting women enduring online harassment.
It's not an exaggeration to say that the harassment and smear campaign I've had to endure over the past year has destroyed my life.
Hmm, destroyed her life, really?
By most people's standards, Taylor Lorenz would seem to have a pretty good life, one of the best lives in the country, in fact.
Lots of people are suffering right now, but no one's suffering quite as much as Taylor Lorenz is suffering.
People have criticized her opinions on the internet, and it destroyed her life.
Let's pause on this International Women's Day and recognize that.
You thought female Uyghurs had it bad.
You haven't talked to Taylor Lorenz.
And people online are now saying that Tucker Carlson is trying to target and dox her because he kept on saying her name over and over again.
If you're in the public limelight, you're going to get online harassment.
Everyone has different ways of dealing with it.
I've chose to deal with it by not having the apps on my phone.
And also, I don't care.
It's kind of an extra boost.
In fact, I like it when they write about things we have to say.
I don't actually, this is a very interesting point.
The things that bother me the most are the misrepresentations of what I have to say.
You see, when the Daily Mail and all these news outlets wrote accurately what I had to say about Megan Markle and Prince Harry, it's like, this is a perfect article.
People are texting it to me and they're saying, wow, the Daily Mail has.
I'm like, it's perfect.
It's exactly what I said.
If I would have wanted to correct it, I would have done that.
But what I don't like is when people misrepresent what I have to say or they misrepresent who I am.
That bothers me.
But for Taylor Lorenz, she brings up a point that is very interesting, which is that the ruling class is so deeply unhappy, and they're unhappy because they don't have wisdom.
Cheerfulness is a byproduct of wisdom.
They're also unhappy because they don't have purpose.
And their purpose for the last couple years has been pathologically destroying Donald Trump because they thought of him as a Benito Mussolini figure.
So their identity was wrapped up in this moral high ground that every action they took, every flight that they flew on, every meal they ate, every tweet they sent, they felt as if this is our Mussolini moment.
We will take him over and we will be known as the good guys.
And they realize Trump is gone and their life is devoid of purpose, meaning, shallow, empty.
So many of these people are now looking for a new enemy, antagonist is a good word, to fill that void.
So how do they fill the void?
The oppression Olympics.
You see, college campuses are not good at a lot of things, but they produce oppressed Olympians better than I've ever seen.
So here's how the oppression Olympics work: it's a competition of who can get the most virtue-signaling points.
If you're a black lesbian woman in a wheelchair, you are by definition more oppressed in the hierarchy of the left than a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant male.
And if you dare challenge any of this oppression Olympic nonsense, we're going to call you the R-word.
You see, this is where the broader population of our country needs to mock and reject people all up and down the chattering class and the activist media and the Netflix Hulu paramount production class.
Anytime that they try to say, feel sorry for us, life is so hard.
You know who we should feel sorry for?
The people that could truly participate in the victim Olympics.
How about the 40,000 families that lost loved ones to opioid addiction last year?
I think that those families probably had a more difficult year than Taylor Lorenz, who probably earned six figures a year to go write mountains of drivel for the New York Times.
You see, second wave feminism for a brief moment was about rising above your circumstances, being tougher.
What college campuses should do, which they don't do, is teach young people that the world is a dark and uncertain place.
We are going to make you tougher and more capable and more able to deal with the inevitable suffering of life and rise above your circumstances.
Instead, college does the opposite.
And after college, our whole media says, let's teach you how to complain and remove anything in your life around you that you don't like and turn you into an activist.
A common point of concern is what's happening on the southern border, and we've built that out in great detail.
And one of our listeners here says, Charlie, both the right and the left are to blame for what's happening on the southern border.
And the answer is absolutely correct.
And so the Republicans have decided to do nothing when it comes to the southern border because the Chamber of Commerce, the national chamber of commerce, not your local chamber of commerce, has been demanding cheap labor for decades.
And then you have a flow of cheap labor, an unregistered border jumping class, which then becomes illegally domiciled into our country, taking work from Americans.
And that's one of the biggest lies that I hear.
I heard this from a ruling class member recently at an undisclosed location.
He says, Charlie, I listened to your program.
I listened to your podcast.
He was very complimentary, and he does listen.
He said, but I have to tell you, all my years of business, all my years of doing merger and acquisitions, building companies, and he has a very, very impressive career.
He said, Mexicans, Nicaraguans, and El Salvadorians and Hondurans are doing jobs Americans don't want to do.
I'm sure you've heard this before from your friends or from popular media.
In fact, the liberals will commonly say, the leftists, I should say, and even the Chamber of Commerce types, they'll say, well, who's going to pick your vegetables?
Well, first of all, that's an incredibly racist thing to say, to think that the only thing a border jumper is capable of doing is picking vegetables.
You are now implying a racial stereotype that I'm not.
So the onus of racism is on you.
But the question should be, what did we do on our country before we had a porous southern border?
How did we get all this stuff done prior to that?
Well, H.W. Bush, from president from 1988 to 1992, changed immigration law forever.
Ronald Reagan's single greatest failure was, I think it was the Simpson Mazzoli.
We talked about this a couple weeks ago.
There's so many of these commissions, McCain Feingold, Simpson Bowles.
I think it's Simpson Mazzoli, 1986, 1987.
Reagan even said it was his biggest mistake.
Ronald Reagan said himself this was his biggest failure as president.
Yeah, it was Simpson.
Ha ha.
Where he basically granted amnesty to millions of people.
It was a lot more complicated than that, but I'm paraphrasing the essence of the bill.
Then H.W. Bush said, you know what the problem with America is?
The problem in America is not the declining middle class.
It's not reckless, endless wars.
Now, remember, H.W. Bush was president during a very consequential moment in human history.
It was the end of the Soviet Union.
So here's a trivia question for you.
What did H.W. Bush say?
What speech did he give when the Berlin Wall fell?
And if you're struggling to remember, you're right.
He didn't give a speech.
In fact, Peggy Noonan, who is an establishment Republican biographer who writes for the Wall Street Journal, very smart, but she was very nasty to Trump in the last couple of years, and they were feuding back and forth.
But she was also a biographer of Ronald Reagan, H.W. Bush, very, very, very smart woman.
Recently, she allowed Trump to get to her and vice versa.
However, she has a great quote, and she was a speechwriter for Reagan.
She has phenomenal diction, word selection.
It's just terrific.
Albeit very, very foolish at times in her approach to Trump.
But she says, according to all sources, H.W. Bush did not want to give a speech after the Berlin Wall fell because he, quote, did not want to rub it in.
What an unbelievable missed opportunity.
We beat Soviet communism based on a theological debate, the theological debate of the Soviets.
Their position was that Stalinism and Leninism and Mother Russia is the ultimate good, and everyone must do what they can to preserve and protect it.
Our theological perspective is that we are in a vertical relationship as human beings with God first, then country, family, individual.
And there's a very important takeaway here to what H.W. Bush did next.
And I'm going to debunk this idea of, well, Americans aren't going to do these jobs.
The opposite is the truth.
And I can prove it to you.

Okay.
We hear from people all the time.
There are jobs that Americans won't do.
We need immigrants because they will fill gaps in the labor market, gaps in the labor force.
When a study actually goes to show that many of the jobs that we stereotype immigrants to go into are actually more dominated by Americans than not.
Do you know that 73% of all janitors are native-born?
65% of all construction workers are native-born.
66% of all grounds and maintenance workers are native-born.
64% of all butchers and meat processors are native-born.
And I'm reading here, I believe, from the Center for Immigration Studies, I think.
Taxi drivers and chauffeurs, 54% native-born.
What the real discussion is, is not what Americans are willing or unwilling to do.
The question is, are they willing to do it at that wage?
Are they willing to do that job to be able to support a middle-class lifestyle?
There are 65 occupations in the United States in which 25% or more of the workers are immigrants, both legal and illegal.
I don't consider illegals to be immigrants.
In these high immigrant occupations, there are still 16.5 million natives, accounting for one out of eight natives in the labor force.
If you are over the age of 40, your high school experience was completely and totally different than mine, and especially to what high schoolers are doing right now.
If you talk to a group of people between the ages of 45 to 60 and you ask them, how many of you had a high school job?
Almost every single hand will go up.
Both my parents did.
I did not.
Now, what H.W. Bush did in the early 90s, Soviet Union falls.
So you see, H.W. Bush believed that the two biggest problems that America needed to solve is that we were not currently in enough wars and we did not have enough foreigners.
H.W. Bush was very worried about that.
So he eroded American sovereignty.
He did some good things too.
He put Clarence Thomas on the U.S. Supreme Court, who has been a phenomenal justice.
And remember, H.W. Bush started the Central Intelligence Agency.
He was one of the first people to run it.
And what did H.W. Bush do before he ran the CIA?
Oh, he was in China.
Interesting history.
So H.W. Bush changed our immigration policies forever.
So I was born in 1993.
H.W. Bush, and we'll get the exact number.
I think at its height in the early 90s, we were bringing in 1.2 million people legally into America per year, not including illegal crossing into America.
And so as a consequence of that, I was born in 93.
12 years later in 2005, we kept up those policies, 2005, 2007.
My local community, the Wheeling, Arlington Heights, Schomburg area, they didn't need high school workers.
The local movie theater, the local manufacturing plant, they were able to get by without having 14, 15, 16, and 17-year-olds come chip in over the summer.
Now, there's a positive to part of that, and I'm willing to admit it.
I was able to play AAU basketball.
I was able to become an Eagle Scout.
I was able to do other recreational activities other than working with my hands and working at a movie theater, working at a restaurant, whatever it might be, low-wage work, but introductory work that would build character.
I could tell you this, though, that the vast majority of people in my high school would have benefited from the experience of a high school job rather than a recreational summer.
What I did with my time in high school was a much different allocation of time than most.
I didn't sit around and play video games or endlessly ride my bike chasing after whatever, where most people in my high school did that.
They were idle or sedentary.
And the people that did end up getting high school jobs, because they were a few, they were the ones that really needed the money.
You see, parents used to have their kids work high school jobs, not because the family necessarily needed the money, but because they knew it was good for them and the community needed the labor.
So we have these unbelievably generous and relaxed immigration policies for 15, 20 years.
And we basically created a system where high schoolers did not need to enter the labor force.
So, some high schoolers, like myself and some of the people that work with us at Turning Point USA, that idle time ended up being a phenomenal blessing for us.
I'm not saying that high school work would have been awful, but I don't think I would have been able to do football, basketball, marching band, three different instruments, Eagle Scout, and then in my spare time, eventually start the beginning stages of Turning Point USA.
Not even close if I had to also do a high school job.
So, for people like me, it allowed me some extra time to get into what I really enjoyed and I had a skill towards.
The vast majority of students I grew up in would be better today if they would have been a lifeguard working at a movie theater or a waitress or cleaning dishes instead of playing video games when they were 16 years old.
So, this idea that Americans won't do the work is not true.
And I could prove it to you.
Over the last year, President Trump signed an immigration moratorium into our country, and I'm glad he did.
Because of this, South Dakota was facing a labor shortage.
Now, one of the best governors in the country, if not the best governor, Christy Noam, who's tied, I think, with Ron DeSantis, they're terrific.
She realized that she was not going to have seasonal work visas.
She realized she was not going to have this influx of cheap labor coming into South Dakota to help in the work for the summer, which is not as much work, but the fall is a lot of work.
It's a lot of work in South Dakota.
If you do not have the hands to help you in South Dakota in the fall, you could lose your whole savings.
The food supply line could fall apart.
But according to Governor Christy Noam, who we sat with on an interview, I believe it was July 2nd, where she said on the podcast that every single job was filled by older South Dakotans and younger South Dakotans.
16, 17, and 18-year-olds were forced to put the video games on hold, and they went into the fields and went to work.
And by accident, what was proven is that the labor is there.
The skills are even there to do it.
Just all of a sudden, there was a demand, not the type of demand that you would know or think of traditionally in economics, but there was pressure to put young American students to work.
And so, this lie that exists that there are jobs Americans won't do, Americans won't do, is only true if you say that Americans don't want to do the job with no increase in wage ever while also affording themselves to have a permanent middle-class lifestyle.
And so, we have seen the consequence of this, what happens.
And these two issues are the two issues that Donald Trump hit perfectly.
And I wrote about this in the MAGA doctrine, and they are directly tied together.
And the two issues that Republicans were told to never mention, keep it as is, everything is wonderful, sit down and shut up and enjoy your endless piles of plastic from Wuhan.
And don't say anything when your cousins are overdosing on meth.
And the two issues were immigration and trade.
Those are the two issues that we as conservatives were never allowed to talk about.
Funded by think tanks, pundits, prognosticators, there was zero intellectual flexibility for us to ever talk about those issues.
There is no place for robust debate and dialogue.
There is no place for discussion.
You want to talk about intolerance?
The conservative movement was intolerant towards discussion prior to Trump when it came to immigration and trade.
You were mocked, called a Luddite, a draconian, a protectionist, a Herbert Hooverite.
It was pathological in nature, quite honestly, because it was funded by corporations that were benefiting through big immigration and big internationalist trade.
And Donald Trump comes on the stage and unapologetically offers a factual, evidence-based, and experience-based critique against this system.
And quite honestly, he liberated my conversation and people for us to finally realize that the system of international and endless trade and open borders and millions of people coming into the country, it might have some positives, such as we have a bunch of plastic that we're never going to use and we don't appreciate, so we have to go buy self-storage units to just be able to get rid of the amounts of clothes that we don't wear and things we don't actually revere.
I guess that's a positive, but the cost might actually have been greater than the positive.
And the cost was the complete and total destruction of the middle part of our country, Southeast Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, the entire Appalachia region.
And my friend JD Vance wrote about this extensively in the book Hillbilly Elegy.
And so now we have the question in our current political system: are we going to now go back to embracing the dogmatic corporate belief that open borders and free trade is always correct?
A story that I want to focus on is one of the worst governors in America.
So we got our list of bad governors, J.B. Pritzker, Andrew Cuomo, and of course, Gavin Newsom.
Gavin Newsom is under the gun.
Gavin Newsom is facing a very serious and credible recall threat.
Gavin Newsom, very well might be recalled for his handling of the Chinese coronavirus.
Gavin Newsom very well might lose the recall.
Let's go to Cut 34, where Gavin Newsom says he made some mistakes.
That is putting it lightly.
Play tape.
We've made mistakes.
I have made mistakes, but we own them.
We learn from them.
And we never stop trying.
After all, that's the California spirit.
We're bent, but not broken.
Bloodied, but unbowed.
Resolved to make brighter days ahead and not to let the pain of last year deter us from the hopefulness of tomorrow.
I'm not exactly sure what he thought he would accomplish by rubbing it in the face that Dodger Stadium is completely empty and open.
But nevertheless, Gavin Newsom gave those remarks there.
Gavin Newsom in Cut 35 says that he is focusing on staying determined and that the partisan power grabs are trying to destruct from their recovery.
Cut 35.
Look, the state of our state, it remains determined.
I remain determined.
And I just want you to know, we're not going to change course just because of a few naysayers and doomstayers.
So to the California critics out there who are promoting partisan political power grabs with outdated prejudices and rejecting everything that makes California truly great, we say this.
We will not be distracted from getting shots in arms and our economy booming again.
This is a fight for California's future.
Gavin Newsom looks very nervous.
Gavin Newsom will be recalled.
Now, whether or not he wins or loses the recall is a different thing.
I'm saying he's going to have to participate in a recall.
And over 2 million people currently have signed the recall petition.
As we accurately predicted here on the Charlie Kirk show, the Gavin Newsom team is going to spend millions of dollars on a certain and specific activity.
Signature verification.
You see, the Newsom team is worried that people who aren't who they say they are have been filling in signatures to recall Gavin Newsom.
You see, Gavin Newsom is very worried about signature fraud.
Gavin Newsom and the California Democrats of Kamala Harris previously and Nancy Pelosi and Eric Fang Swawell are very focused on voter and signature integrity.
And the irony of all this is now that we have forced the recall, which is a great lesson for all of you out there.
People say, what do we do?
And I want to give a thanks and a congratulations and an applause and a reinforcement and an encouragement to the California Republicans out there.
God bless you guys.
I spend a lot of time in California.
We do a lot of things in California, and my relationship with the California Franchise Tax Board proves that.
But I have so much respect for the patriots in California, the pastors in California, Rob McCoy, Jack Hibbs, James Cadiz, Juergen, Greg Denham, and I will be in San Marcos, California this weekend at Rise Church.
That's what it's called.
Rise Church, Greg Denham's Church.
So check it out.
We're doing three services.
Because this recall against Gavin Newsom, whether it succeeds or not, is awesome.
Everything about it.
It shows that you haven't given up.
It shows that you can challenge tyranny.
It shows that you can get Gavin Newsom to look a little nervous and push back.
Make them uncomfortable.
And of course, Andrew Colvet, producer Andrew, he actually asked me just to mention him.
So congratulations, Andrew.
You're doing a wonderful job holding down the fort in the great state of California, the once great state of California.
I love this story.
It's completely irrelevant of whether or not the recall works or not.
It has put Democrats on defense, which is what we should be doing in every state.
And if you have not yet helped or participated in this recall, please go do that.
It's the moral thing to do.
Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
