The Charlie Kirk Show - 3 Blind Mice—America's Failed Generals Aired: 2021-09-29 Duration: 01:12:04 === Holding Unelected Oligarchy Accountable (14:06) === [00:00:00] Hey everybody, today in the Charlie Kirk show, how do we hold the unelected oligarchy accountable? [00:00:06] That is the key word, isn't it? [00:00:07] Accountable. [00:00:08] Well, unfortunately, Millie, Austin, and McKenzie testifying in front of Congress show that America's ruling class of generals, it's not easy to hold them in check and in balance. [00:00:18] We go through that and so much more. [00:00:20] We also talk about how segregation is back. [00:00:23] Unfortunately, on college campuses, black-only dormitories are getting more popular. [00:00:27] A Marine has decided to speak out against the regime, and he is in jail and court-martialed, unlike Millie, who is a traitor to the United States. [00:00:36] We also talk about how the governor of New York says that the vaccine is from God and says that you need to be my apostle and spread the good news of the vaccine. [00:00:47] I'd love your thoughts on that. [00:00:49] If you email us freedom at charliekirk.com and so much more, including how Joe Rogan has become a freedom fighter for all of us.

[00:03:14] We are monitoring the Senate hearings of Mark Milley, Lloyd Austin, and General McKinsey of a hearing that is supposed to explain what happened in Afghanistan with the Taliban and with one of the most embarrassing and humiliating foreign policy moments in American history. [00:03:39] We have a lot of tape to play of senators asking questions and even some Democrats asking some tough questions, including Senator Manchin from West Virginia, who actually revealed some very important information. [00:03:54] But before I get into that, I want to just frame what you're about to hear. [00:03:59] We have cut after cut of General Mark Milley, who of course is a traitor to the United States and back channeled with the Chinese and told the Chinese that, don't worry what Trump does, I got your back, we're not going to attack you. [00:04:13] As the U.S. Constitution clearly says, Article 3, Article 3, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them or in adhering to the enemies, giving them aid and comfort. [00:04:30] Giving them aid and comfort would be telling the Chinese we are not going to attack you. [00:04:34] What you are seeing right now on Capitol Hill, and what we're about to go through piece by piece, testimony by testimony, is the untouchables. [00:04:43] These people who call themselves generals and the head of the Department of Defense, they more closely resemble college professors who wear medals they did not earn. [00:04:54] Accountability, separation of powers. [00:04:56] No, this is an untouchable oligarchy. [00:04:59] When you start to hear what these men have been saying, you realize these are jesters that are running our military. [00:05:07] Someone asked, including Senator Tom Cotton, we're going to play this tape in just a second, why haven't you resigned? [00:05:15] Let's start with that one. [00:05:16] Cut 38. [00:05:17] Senator Tom Cotton asked Mark Milley, if your advice was rejected and you were not sought out, but all this is true, why haven't you resigned? [00:05:25] Now, Senator Tom Cotton is a friend of mine, and he's very smart. [00:05:28] That should have been the least reason why Mark Milley resigned. [00:05:32] Play Cut 38. [00:05:34] Got one final question. [00:05:35] General Milley, I can only conclude that your advice about staying in Afghanistan was rejected. [00:05:42] I'm shocked to learn that your advice wasn't sought until August 25th on staying past the August 31 deadline. [00:05:49] But if all this is true, General Milley, why haven't you resigned? [00:05:52] Senator, as a senior military officer, resigning is a really serious thing, and it's a political act if I'm resigning in protest. [00:06:03] Yeah, because Mark Milley understands he is there as a spokesperson for the regime. [00:06:08] He's not there to actually win wars. [00:06:11] He's not there to crush the enemy. [00:06:13] No, Mark Milley arms the enemy. [00:06:16] He calls China ahead of time and gives them a heads up. [00:06:21] You see, if we were a serious country, which we have failed to be a serious country in quite a while, especially since this current regime has taken over, all three of these clowns would have resigned in disgrace, and they would have been demanded to resign in disgrace. [00:06:38] And even some Republican senators are saying, I just want to thank all three of you for your service every time before they ask these clowns these questions, even though they were the designers and the architects of giving $85 billion in weapons to the Taliban, back channeling to the Chinese. [00:06:55] Resignations, going away in disgrace? [00:07:00] No. [00:07:01] This is a very important point. [00:07:04] Our ruling class in our country is incapable and unwilling of doing the one thing that makes us human, feeling shame. [00:07:17] Aristotle famously said, human beings are the only creatures that can blush. [00:07:24] We are the only creatures that can feel guilty, only creatures that can feel as if an introspective analysis of our soul that we need to do something better. [00:07:37] Instead, we have seen the exact opposite attitude from Milley, Austin, and McKenzie. [00:07:43] Instead, they marched into Congress today defiant, doubling down, saying that you guys don't understand, you senators who represent people, we're the untouchables. [00:07:55] We're in charge. [00:07:57] You see, look at all these medals I have. [00:07:59] I'm Mark Milley and I've never won a war. [00:08:02] Every time Mark Milley answers a question, it is with an arrogant, pompous attitude, as if he was the one that stormed Normandy Beach. [00:08:11] Mark Milley acts as if he had a record of service comparable to George S. Patton or Dwight D. Eisenhower, when in reality, Mark Milley has done nothing but oversaw the endless spilling of American blood, treasure, resources, and time overseas to accomplish nothing. [00:08:30] Instead, Mark Milley goes into Congress and looks senators in the eye and say, it didn't end like we wanted, but it remains to be select or not the Taliban can consolidate power. [00:08:47] And under oath, Milley and McKenzie confirmed they recommended against President Biden's withdrawal timeline. [00:08:54] We'll get to that in a second. [00:08:56] But there's no shame. [00:08:59] And it's largely because the ruling class, they do not feel as if they are under a threat of a check or a balance from you or from the media. [00:09:10] They feel immune to this. [00:09:12] Sure, they're going to have some people ask them questions, give them a tough time today. [00:09:21] But Mark Milley will get back into his military vehicle, go back to the Pentagon, and he'll breathe a deep sigh of relief and say, well, that's about it. [00:09:34] I'll go add another medal because I get a medal for testifying in front of the Senate. [00:09:39] As Aristotle said, we are the only beings that can blush, he meant that a properly sold individual, meaning someone who has character, is someone that is willing to admit failure, responsibility, and accountability. [00:09:56] What stuns most Americans when they see the spectacle of disgrace, they wonder who exactly is able to check these guys? [00:10:11] One of the goals of progressivism, as designed by Woodrow Wilson, the anti-American Princeton College professor who became a president without winning a majority of votes in 1912, was he hated the idea of separation of powers. [00:10:30] He wanted what Plato would call a philosopher king, someone who understood how the world should work, but never actually has to be held accountable by the people. [00:10:40] The whims of the everyday man should be disconnected from the administrative state. [00:10:46] And what we have seen over the last 100 years in the CDC, the FDA, the IRS, and yes, the military, is this arrogant, pompous attitude. [00:10:58] Because deep down, they actually look at you and they say, I'm better than you. [00:11:02] There's nothing that will make me resign. [00:11:06] I'll leave when I am ready to go make millions of dollars lecturing at Georgetown University. [00:11:12] Mark Milley is a traitor to the United States. [00:11:16] He should be court-martialed. [00:11:18] Instead, he's warmly welcomed by most senators, including Republicans. [00:11:21] Oh, thank you so much for your service. [00:11:24] Such a wonderful thing you've done. [00:11:26] And I'm going to tell you who has been court-martialed. [00:11:28] We're going to get into that story. [00:11:30] Where a lieutenant colonel of the United States Marine Corps was court-martialed yesterday. [00:11:37] Why? [00:11:38] Because he dared speak out and be a whistleblower and call nonsense and BS on every single one of the members of the Untouchables, who are now testifying in front of Congress, and we're just getting started on this. [00:11:54] I've been telling you guys about Relief Factor for quite some time. [00:11:56] And truth is, I know millions of people are in fact, 100 million people are in some kind of pain. [00:12:01] Look, producer Andrew, he couldn't walk. [00:12:02] He was a hobbled individual. [00:12:04] He was bedridden in his chair complaining all the time. [00:12:08] And then all of a sudden, we got this call from Relief Factor. [00:12:11] They said, hey, we want to partner with your show. [00:12:12] We're going to send you some Relief Factor. [00:12:14] Producer Andrew got it. [00:12:15] He took it, got a little bit better, took some more, got a little bit better. [00:12:19] Next thing you know, he's doing the Falseberry flop like you wouldn't believe. [00:12:22] In fact, he might be training for an Iron Man. [00:12:26] It's pretty incredible. [00:12:27] Now, he says it's thanks to Relief Factor. [00:12:28] I ask him all the time, Relief Factor? [00:12:30] He says relieffactor.com, 100% drug-free supplement. [00:12:33] You can get it for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day. [00:12:35] So go to relieffactor.com, and I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start to see if we can get you out of pain. [00:12:41] And then after that, it's less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day to stay out of pain. [00:12:44] So go to relieffactor.com. [00:12:45] That is relieffactor.com. [00:12:47] I'm telling you, a lot of people are in pain. [00:12:49] It's 100% drug-free. [00:12:50] Don't go to opioids. [00:12:51] Don't go to these other things. [00:12:52] Check it out at relieffactor.com. [00:12:57] Are we citizens of our government or are we subjects under our government? [00:13:02] Sure, seems as if we are subjects and have been for quite some time. [00:13:07] Cut 33, Mark Milley, who is a traitor to the United States and should be court-martialed, but he won't be. [00:13:16] He will be promoted, given book deals, treated very seriously. [00:13:19] Look at how many medals he has when I play this on the live stream on rumble.com. [00:13:24] Dwight D. Eisenhower, the greatest, one of the greatest generals in American history, had like two medals. [00:13:30] He won World War II alongside the sacrifice, the blood, and the commitment of so many heroes. [00:13:37] What has Mark Milley ever done as useful? [00:13:40] Overseeing the destruction of the greatest military in the history of the planet? [00:13:44] Play Cut 33. [00:13:46] It is clear, it is obvious, the war in Afghanistan did not end on the terms we wanted with the Taliban now in power in Kabul. [00:13:56] And we must remember that the Taliban was and remains a terrorist organization, and they still have not broken ties with al-Qaeda. === Mark Milley Loyalty Questioned (03:04) === [00:14:06] I have no illusions who we are dealing with. [00:14:09] It remains to be seen whether or not the Taliban can consolidate power or if the country will further fracture into civil war. [00:14:17] So why'd you give them weapons then? [00:14:20] So why'd you give them Black Hawk helicopters, Mark Milley? [00:14:23] Why'd you give them rifles? [00:14:26] Why'd you give them grenades? [00:14:28] Why'd you give them $85 billion of our best weapons? [00:14:32] If they're an enemy and make no mistake, I know who they are, why did you work with the Taliban to back channel to try to all of a sudden give up Bagram Airbase? [00:14:43] But Mark Milley is playing lip service to something he does not even actually believe. [00:14:49] Mark Milley is not here to testify in front of Congress. [00:14:55] You see, Mark Milley is not loyal to this, the United States Constitution. [00:15:01] Because that is what you swear an oath over when you enter our military. [00:15:05] You're swearing an oath to a contract to your fellow citizen, a promise to your fellow countrymen. [00:15:12] The Constitution of the United States is a framework and is a document that protects what you have naturally given to you by your creator. [00:15:20] Mark Milley's not loyal to this. [00:15:22] Instead, Mackenzie, Austin, and Milley, it is very clear as you watch this hearing, they are under strict orders to defend the regime. [00:15:36] Not to undermine anything that Joe Biden did. [00:15:41] Not to tell the truth of how he lied in August, but instead do their very best to make sure that Biden, Ron Klain, Jake Sullivan, and Jen Saki come out as untouched as possible. [00:16:01] Cut 35, Milley and McKenzie confirmed that they told Biden the withdrawal timeline is no good. [00:16:08] And of course, Joe Biden said no one said that to me. [00:16:11] We knew Biden was lying. [00:16:13] And Biden will get away with it, of course, because the propagandist media will not hold him accountable. [00:16:20] But here it is, under oath. [00:16:22] Millie and McKenzie, I think, accidentally reveal that Biden lied to you. [00:16:28] Cut 35. [00:16:30] I recommended that we maintain 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. [00:16:34] And I also recommended earlier in the fall of 2020 that we maintain 4,500 at that time. [00:16:40] Those are my personal views. [00:16:41] I also have a view that the withdrawal of those forces would lead inevitably to the collapse of the Afghan military forces and eventually the Afghan government. [00:16:50] Yes, I understand that. [00:16:51] And General Milley, I assume you agree with that in terms of the recommendation of 2,500. [00:16:56] And I do agree with that, General McKenzie. [00:16:58] I think you've all made this statement. [00:17:00] Did you talk to the president about General Miller's recommendation? [00:17:04] Sir, I was present when that discussion occurred. [00:17:07] And I'm confident that the President heard all the recommendations. === Vocational Training vs Broken College (02:39) === [00:17:11] If we were... [00:17:12] First of all, let me just say as a side note as we ramp up this segment, these Republican senators that seem to be on such good terms with these generals, why don't they pick up the phone and tell them not to dishonorably discharge U.S. service members in the Air Force, Marines, Army, Coast Guard for not taking the vaccine? [00:17:34] That would be too hard of a fight for Republican senators. [00:17:36] I wouldn't expect that from them. [00:17:38] The untouchables, the oligarchy, the Millie, Austin, and McKenzie's will not be held accountable. [00:17:45] But that does not mean that certain people will not be punished. [00:17:50] This is not anarchy. [00:17:52] This is tyranny. [00:17:54] Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller, who you might know as someone who exposed the regime last month in a Facebook video, has now been arrested for calling out the military for abusing their power. [00:18:13] Look, I often talk about the crushing debt and lack of jobs that come with the broken college system in our country and how entering a trade or vocational school can provide great career opportunities where your skills will always be in demand. [00:18:26] I want to talk to you about the American Institute of Non-Destructive Testing.

[00:19:47] It is a variation of the gas chamber, even more cruel. === Courage to Speak Against Ruling Class (11:18) === [00:19:51] The torture of the people being killed is more malicious and more prolonged. [00:19:56] Like the gas chambers, these crimes will never be forgotten, and those involved in them will be condemned for all time during their life after their death. [00:20:05] Alexander Solshenitsyn, the author of the Gulag Archipelago, one of the greatest books ever written that exposed the Soviet Union. [00:20:17] Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller, who many of you have seen videos of, had the courage to speak out against the Biden regime when 13 Marines were killed because of Mark Milley and Lloyd Austin and McKenzie, who are currently testifying in front of Congress right now. [00:20:37] And Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller knew that he was going to be giving up a $2 million pension and resigned his commission after 17 years of service. [00:20:51] He knew that this was going to come at a price and a cost. [00:20:56] Let's listen to the video of Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller from just last month of him asking questions, demanding accountability after 13 of his fellow Marines were murdered, doing something they were not trained to do, deployed by the Biden regime to do something that they have never done before, and 13 of them were killed. [00:21:21] Play tape. [00:21:24] I've been in the Marine Infantry for 17 years. [00:21:27] Post this video, what might happen to me, especially if the video picks up traction, if I have the courage to post it. [00:21:34] But I think what you believe in can only be defined by what you're willing to risk. [00:21:39] So if I'm willing to risk my current battalion commander seat, my retirement, my family's stability to say some of the things that I want to say, I think it gives me some moral high ground to demand the same honesty, integrity, accountability from my senior leaders. [00:21:56] In Cut 46, he continues by saying that maybe all those people did die in vain, and we keep making the same mistakes. [00:22:05] Play Cut 46. [00:22:07] And what I'll say is, from my position, potentially all those people did die in vain if we don't have senior leaders that own up and raise their hand and say, we did not do this well in the end. [00:22:25] Without that, we just keep repeating the same mistakes. [00:22:27] This amalgamation of the economic slash corporate slash political slash higher military ranks are not holding up their end of the bargain. [00:22:42] In Cut 47, Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller says, I demand accountability. [00:22:48] Well, unfortunately, Stuart Scheller, you don't live in a country where the untouchables are held accountable. [00:22:57] They will be promoted, make millions of dollars. [00:23:00] And Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller has the courage to speak out, to demand answers for his fellow Marines that were killed, needlessly killed. [00:23:11] Play Cut 47. [00:23:13] I want to say this very strongly. [00:23:18] I have been fighting for 17 years. [00:23:21] I am willing to throw it all away to say to my senior leaders, I demand accountability. [00:23:29] Well, now he's been arrested. [00:23:31] This Marine, Lieutenant Colonel, is now in military lockup. [00:23:39] Lieutenant Colonel Scheller has been arrested and awaits a pretrial hearing. [00:23:49] His father said he was just asking for accountability. [00:23:53] In fact, I think he even asked for an apology that we made mistakes, but they couldn't do that, which is mind-blowing. [00:23:59] Well, it's not mind-blowing because the ruling class in America does not admit mistakes. [00:24:06] It's no different than the people that ran the Soviet Union, the party today, the party tomorrow, the party forever. [00:24:14] It's the infallibility of the ruling class. [00:24:22] And of course, as predicted, we made on this program, Lieutenant Colonel Scheller was ordered by the Marines to undergo a mental health screening. [00:24:36] Of course, that is a favorite tactic of political tyrants. [00:24:43] In fact, there has been an incredible amount of scholarship in history. [00:24:46] And I just want to say, this is coming to your schools. [00:24:49] This is coming to your workplaces. [00:24:51] This is coming everywhere. [00:24:53] This form of tyranny, which is the abuse of psychiatry, is coming right to your neighborhood. [00:25:01] In the Soviet Union, this form of the abuse of psychiatry is called psychopathological mechanisms of dissent. [00:25:11] This was popularized by Brezhnev, who used the psychiatric wards to be able to disable and remove from society political opponents and dissidents. [00:25:23] These people who openly expressed beliefs that contradicted the official party dogma, like Lieutenant Colonel Scheller. [00:25:32] We don't like what you have to say. [00:25:33] Send him to the madhouse. [00:25:36] The term philosophical intoxication was widely applied to the mental disorders diagnosed when people disagreed with the country's communist leaders. [00:25:50] Or if they dared question Marxism, Leninism, Engels, or Vladimir Lenin himself. [00:25:58] Article 5810 of the Stalin-era Criminal Code said, quote, anti-Soviet agitation was to a considerable degree preserved in the 1958 RSFSR Criminal Code as Article 70, which continued by saying that the laws were frequently applied in conjunction with a system to diagnose mental illness. [00:26:27] They established a framework that allowed those that disagree at the party to be locked up forever for psychiatric diagnosis. [00:26:39] You don't think that Marx is the greatest person ever? [00:26:45] To the madhouse for you. [00:26:49] There is no famine. [00:26:52] And if you dare say that there's no crops, to the madhouse for you. [00:26:55] What do you mean? [00:26:56] There's crops everywhere. [00:26:56] It doesn't matter that in the 1930s there was no crops. [00:27:00] Psychiatric tyranny was a go-to weapon of the Soviet ruling class and tyrants. [00:27:15] So of course, Lieutenant Colonel Scheller, our own Marine hero, he was announced that he had to undergo a mental health screening. [00:27:21] Of course, he's crazy. [00:27:22] Go send him to a madhouse. [00:27:23] That is coming to your schools for your children, by the way. [00:27:27] That's coming to your workplace. [00:27:29] That's coming to your local area where they are going to try and abuse this form of diagnosing people as crazy to keep them down. [00:27:44] So now, as it stands today, Lieutenant Colonel Scheller, an American hero for speaking out and demanding accountability, is currently in pre-trial confinement in the regional brig for the Marine Corps installations east aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, pending an Article 32 preliminary hearing. [00:28:13] So for all of you keeping score at home, Mark Milley, who willingly armed the Taliban, Mark Milley, who called the Chinese our greatest enemy and gave them a heads up of our confidential and secret military operations, which according to the United States Constitution is treason. [00:28:33] Let me say this again. [00:28:34] Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. [00:28:44] But who's the one that actually gets court-martialed? [00:28:50] People do not get held accountable when they do something wrong, but they will be reprimanded and they will be put in the public square as if it's a show trial if you dare speak out and ask questions about 13 dead Marines. [00:29:08] Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller is currently behind bars. [00:29:14] The old idea of the Greeks of justice is to give a man what he is due. [00:29:19] Many of our debate in America right now is a debate over justice, of who should be penalized and who should be rewarded. [00:29:28] Well, generally, we believe in a meritocracy in America. [00:29:32] We believe in individual agency and choice. [00:29:34] So we believe when you leak confidential military operations to our greatest enemy and give $85 billion of weapons to the Taliban, you should at least be held minorly accountable. [00:29:44] But no, instead, our own military is executing a show trial. [00:29:49] What is a show trial? [00:29:52] A show trial is a public display of a farce of justice to deter other individuals and movements and organizations from challenging the incumbent party. [00:30:05] And right now, your fellow American, an American hero who gave up a $2 million pension in 17 years of service, who's more courageous than Mark Milley has ever been on his best day, is behind bars. [00:30:15] Why? [00:30:16] Because he spoke out. [00:30:19] Because he dared ask questions. [00:30:23] And right now, he needs your help. [00:30:24] Lieutenant Colonel Scheller will probably go to jail for a long time because he had the courage to speak. [00:30:31] Lieutenant Colonel Scheller is behind bars, and later Mark Milley will be at the bar, knowing that he will never be held accountable. [00:30:41] Resignations, disgrace? [00:30:43] No. [00:30:43] The military industrial complex is incapable of blushing and admitting failure. [00:30:51] Because that would make them human, fully human. [00:30:56] Let me tell you a story about a woman named Lori Smith. [00:30:59] She owns a web design business in Denver. [00:31:03] It's called 303 Creative. [00:31:05] She creates beautiful custom websites for all of her clients. === Preparing for National Disarray (06:27) === [00:31:09] And back in 2016, attorneys for Alliance Defending Freedom, wonderful organization, filed a lawsuit on Lori's behalf. [00:31:17] They challenged a Colorado law that would force her to design websites and promote messages that violate her deeply held religious beliefs. [00:31:27] To make matters even worse, that same law now prevents Lori from on her own website expressing her religious reasons for only creating websites that celebrate certain messages and ideas. [00:31:39] So the question remains: do creative professionals have the freedom to decide which messages they celebrate through their art? [00:31:46] So the Alliance Defending Freedom has just filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to hear Lori's case. [00:31:53] ADF has won 13 victories at the Supreme Court since 2011. [00:31:57] But as ADF's Matt Sharp tells us, our help is needed because the next challenge to religious freedom could be right around the corner. [00:32:04] Play cut two. [00:32:05] One day it may be your grandmother or your business that comes under attack because you wanting to operate consistent with your faith. [00:32:12] And maybe your kids' religious school comes under attack for wanting to teach kids the biblical values that you hold so dear. [00:32:18] ADF is always there to stand with people to make sure that their rights are not trampled, that their freedom is always protected, both locally, statewide, and ultimately at the U.S. Supreme Court. [00:32:28] ADF does all of its work pro bono for free, like clients for clients like Lori, but they need our help to cover the cost of defending our freedoms. [00:32:37] Go to charliekirk.com and click on the Alliance Defending Freedom banner and consider chipping in AllianceDefending Freedom banner at charliekirk.com. [00:32:46] That is charliekirk.com. [00:32:49] Let's go to some sound here. [00:32:54] If we have yeah, I'm not sure. [00:32:58] I don't think we have the one. [00:32:59] We'll get that in the next hour. [00:33:03] I want to get one of the senators cross-examining. [00:33:07] Let's go to cut 42. [00:33:09] Joe Manchin, there's another Joe Manchin clip I want to get to, but we'll play Cut 42. [00:33:13] Play Cut 42. [00:33:15] It drives me absolutely insane to see the television at night and see the Taliban and all them wearing our uniforms, wearing our night vision, doing everything, using everything we have, our MRAPs and everything else that we left there. [00:33:29] I just can't believe it. [00:33:30] I can't even get an accounting of how much equipment we really did leave. [00:33:34] No one knows, by the way. [00:33:35] There's no accounting. [00:33:37] There's no ledger sheet. [00:33:39] If you ran your business like the military runs with their equipment, you would be in prison by the IRS for the rest of your life for embezzlement and for running fraudulent books. [00:33:53] But instead, they get elevated and promoted. [00:33:56] They get all these medals. [00:33:58] This distance between the citizen and what has now become the subject, the people in charge, and you, it is growing. [00:34:10] And I remember in America where generals at least pretended to care that people were so disgusted and upset with them. [00:34:21] Instead, it's just kind of shrug it off. [00:34:28] Let's go to cut 43. [00:34:31] Dan Sullivan says just that. [00:34:32] Play cut 43. [00:34:34] Here's the anger. [00:34:35] I've never seen my constituents more angry about an issue than this. [00:34:40] And it's the combination of everybody knowing that this is a debacle and yet people defending it as a, quote, extraordinary success. [00:34:49] And here's the biggest. [00:34:50] No accountability. [00:34:56] Well, Senator Sullivan, you're a good man from Alaska. [00:35:00] I disagree with you on certain things. [00:35:01] I think you're too moderate in certain things. [00:35:03] But maybe you're starting to realize what we've been saying for a couple of years. [00:35:07] There is no holding these people accountable. [00:35:10] They laugh at the senators. [00:35:11] They laugh at the people. [00:35:13] They're going to do what they want to do. [00:35:17] It has been 60 years of the long march of the institutions, the slow and steady takeover of our treasured and valued military, academia, media, whatever you might say it is. [00:35:31] There will be no accountability. [00:35:33] This regime thinks they are untouchable. [00:35:37] Hey, everybody, if you're paying attention, you know we're going to face some tough times. [00:35:40] I'm not saying run and hide, far from it. [00:35:42] But I am saying you should prepare for food shortages in the very near future. [00:35:45] I am a big prepper, and you should be too. [00:35:47] The best way to be able to be prepared for what's happening, and there might be some bad things happening very soon, is this: get a three-month emergency food kit from MyPatriot Supply. [00:35:57] They're the number one emergency food company, and they've served millions of American families over the last 14 years.

[00:36:40] I want to get to some sound here of Millie, Austin, and McKenzie testifying in front of Congress. [00:36:48] And just to give you an idea, just to continue the drumbeat of who's in charge, are they being held accountable? [00:36:58] Where is the check and balance, if anywhere? [00:37:00] And I'm not trying to play into cynicism. [00:37:02] I'm not a cynic. [00:37:04] I see things as they are. [00:37:06] But I'm also never going to lie to you as if anything's ever going to happen to these people except to the fact that Millie, Austin, and McKenzie will now be invited to Obama's birthday party, get big book deals, lecture at Georgetown, become on the board of Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, or Boeing. [00:37:21] They will be treated very well for the rest of their life. [00:37:25] The country might be in total disarray, but they did their part. [00:37:29] They were loyal members of the revolution. [00:37:34] They were loyal to the party. === Drone Operators and Afghan Targets (07:30) === [00:37:37] Senator Kramer said something in Cut 39 that I don't think got any attention, but I'm going to just spend a little bit of time on this. [00:37:44] I'd love to get a little bit of clarification on this. [00:37:46] He said that Joe Biden once threatened to have union bosses beat him up as an attempt to be a tough guy. [00:37:53] I'm not exactly sure when that would have happened or what the possible or potential context that would be. [00:38:00] But did Joe Biden threaten to call on a hit on a North Dakota senator? [00:38:06] Is Joe Biden asking, hey, go take care of business? [00:38:12] Is Joe Biden somehow back channeling with Tony Soprano? [00:38:17] Cut 39. [00:38:19] You know, I noticed that the president was quick to take a victory lap after the first strike and push this tough guy image he's so famous for. [00:38:26] He once threatened to have union bosses beat me up. [00:38:30] He said things like, just do it. [00:38:32] If we find more, we'll strike them. [00:38:34] Of course, this was after he said of the ISIS K leaders, we will hunt you down. [00:38:39] He talks tough. [00:38:40] He's going to go get him. [00:38:41] But I also notice he's been equally silent, taking no responsibility for the strike on innocent civilians, including children, that was in part caused by, in my view, his insecure need to appear tough. [00:38:54] And then Senator Kramer asked a good question next, which is something I've been thinking of actually. [00:38:58] I was in the car with my wife talking to her about this. [00:39:01] And I said, has anyone thought to actually reach out and counsel the drone operators that were the ones that actually pushed the button that killed the seven children, just the random family in Afghanistan that had nothing to do with the bombing of our 13 Marines? [00:39:19] Did anyone think to actually talk to these drone operators, put them under a legitimate sort of psychiatric analysis that they're not going to engage in self-harm? [00:39:31] And of course, they said, no, why would we do that? [00:39:34] You see, it's easy to give orders behind a desk, like Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley. [00:39:39] Do you know what's not easy? [00:39:41] Being a drone operator. [00:39:44] Being a drone operator in the United States depends on what military base you're operating at. [00:39:51] But from what I have been led to understand from people that actually are in those positions, they will go home and then back to the base. [00:39:59] They dress in full military fatigues. [00:40:02] They go into kind of a box. [00:40:04] It's literally like a box. [00:40:05] Almost think of an RV. [00:40:07] They sit behind a computer screen with a joystick equivalent with a headset on. [00:40:13] They will be given their targets to follow, to track and analyze. [00:40:18] And they will see the most intimate movements of what those people will be doing in Afghanistan or Iraq or in Libya or Yemen or Oman. [00:40:27] I want you to imagine being the drone operator, getting an order from Central Command saying, hey, here's our target. [00:40:35] And you start following that target around. [00:40:38] And you say, man, that's a lot of children. [00:40:41] Seven kids? [00:40:43] Are we sure this is right? [00:40:46] And then from the president of the United States, Joe Biden, then the Lloyd Austin, they gave the order to then tell one of these wonderful military service people to go push the button on the joystick to go murder those seven children. [00:41:03] Can you imagine the psychological damage that has to be when you realize it was just completely innocent civilians? [00:41:08] And Senator Kramer asked the question: did you guys ever think to follow up about that? [00:41:12] Are you even remotely? [00:41:14] Of course they don't care. [00:41:14] They don't care for a second about our troops or about our military. [00:41:19] Of course not. [00:41:22] What they do care about is their pending book deal. [00:41:24] How I saved democracy while I was at Old Country Buffet. [00:41:30] Senator Manchin, Cut 52, Democrat from West Virginia, asks a very simple question. [00:41:38] Hey, you know that government that we propped up for the last 20 years in Afghanistan? [00:41:44] You know the hundreds of billions of dollars that we sent? [00:41:47] Does anyone know where this Ghani guy is? [00:41:52] Ghani? [00:41:53] Ghani? [00:41:54] Bueller? [00:41:56] Anybody? [00:41:57] You know the guy that was kind of the puppet presidency for the last five to ten years? [00:42:02] The American educated guy who has kids that live in the ruling class district of Washington, D.C.? [00:42:09] Where did all that money go? [00:42:12] And how was he able to take that much money out of the country if it wasn't for United States air support assistance? [00:42:18] Play Cut 52. [00:42:20] We know where the president, the former president of Afghanistan, is today and how much money he took with him. [00:42:27] We have any idea? [00:42:30] Sign up. [00:42:31] Secretary Austin, do you have any idea? [00:42:33] I think that he may be in the UAE Senator. [00:42:36] I'm not certain of that. [00:42:38] That's what the last report that I had. [00:42:40] And in terms of any money that he may have taken with him, I have no knowledge of any amounts of money. [00:42:46] You all haven't been able to. [00:42:47] I mean, there's no way that we can trace that to our, I mean, to the banking institutions. [00:42:52] No way that we have any insight on that whatsoever. [00:42:55] Why do we keep funding these intel agencies that are able to tell you the very intimate movements of Roger Stone? [00:43:03] Don't worry. [00:43:04] Roger Stone, they're able to mobilize 25 FBI agents with night vision goggles going through an aqueduct coming onto his house. [00:43:16] But where is the CIA or the intelligence agencies following the flow of money, worrying about the person who we propped up as the president of the country? [00:43:27] It is such a basic and fundamental and simple question. [00:43:32] It's actually impressive how little these people know. [00:43:39] You could pick some random guy from Resden, Virginia, and you could just put him up here and he'd have all the same answers. [00:43:49] Yeah, I'm Carl. [00:43:51] I'm a big football fan. [00:43:53] I don't know where Ghani is, but I did stay at Holiday and Express last night. [00:43:58] How about you, Steve? [00:44:00] Yeah, I don't know where Ghani is. [00:44:02] I don't know where the weapons are, but I did stay at a Holiday and Express last night. [00:44:06] And we have to trust these people to have drone strikes, the nuclear arsenal, the capability of our battleships. [00:44:13] If you are the Chinese Communist Party and you are the soulless, atheistic, godless, imperialistic-minded regime that they have to take over our country, and you're watching this court jester circus right now in front of Congress, you don't know where Ghani is. [00:44:30] You don't know where the weapons are. [00:44:33] All you got, even just from a public relations standpoint, here's what these generals should have been saying. [00:44:39] You know what they should be saying? [00:44:40] We'll get to that in secret session or private session. [00:44:44] Just do a little bit better job of giving us the peace of mind that you have even the most distant or remote or even just the pretend notion that you care. [00:44:55] Just can you go through the motions? [00:44:56] Can you at least play act? [00:44:58] Can you do a little Jack Nicholas? [00:45:00] You can't handle the charge. [00:45:02] Just a little bit of, come on. [00:45:03] Like, can you at least play it? [00:45:04] Instead, it's like, yeah, we don't know where he is. [00:45:05] Why would we? [00:45:06] It's not like we're in charge. === Apostles, Vaccines, and Religious Freedom (07:23) === [00:45:07] It's not like I have all these metals going down from my shoulder to my hip. [00:45:13] There are so much. [00:45:16] There are many more pieces of tape we want to get to here. [00:45:18] And I also want to get to the story of the New York governor. [00:45:22] The new New York governor, not Andrew Cuomo, says that the vaccines are from God. [00:45:27] You see, they love talking about God when it fits their purpose. [00:45:30] And to send out her own apostles to push jabs. [00:45:34] Yeah, there's nothing creepy about these people, right? [00:45:37] Of course. [00:45:39] Give them more power.

[00:47:25] We have so much going on today on this very busy Newsday on the Charlie Kirk show. [00:47:32] We have said for quite some time, we're not the only ones to say that we're one of the few, that the left has created their own secularized religion, that the left has tried to abolish Christianity and abolish any of the traditional Western religions and replace it with this same sort of religious tradition, [00:47:57] but have it be with their own sacraments, their own priests, their own orthodoxy. [00:48:09] So Governor Kathy Hochl, she preached from a pulpit in Brooklyn on Sunday and said that citizens should be thankful to God for the Fauci virus vaccines, which she claimed were divinely inspired. [00:48:26] She said, we're not through this pandemic. [00:48:28] I wish we were, but I prayed a lot to God during this time. [00:48:31] And you know that God did answer our prayers. [00:48:33] He made the smartest men and women, the scientists, the doctors, the researchers, he made them come up with a vaccine. [00:48:39] That is from God to us. [00:48:40] We must say, thank you, God. [00:48:41] Thank you. [00:48:42] She continued by saying, I need you to be my apostles. [00:48:46] I need you to go out and talk about it and say, we owe this to each other. [00:48:49] We love each other. [00:48:50] Jesus taught us to love one another. [00:48:52] And how do you show that love but to care about each and others and say, please get the vaccine because I love you and I want you to live. [00:48:58] Play tape. [00:48:59] I prayed a lot to God during this time. [00:49:02] And you know what? [00:49:03] God did answer our prayers. [00:49:05] He made the smartest men and women, the scientists, the doctors, the researchers. [00:49:10] He made them come up with a vaccine. [00:49:12] That is from God to us. [00:49:14] And we must say thank you, God. [00:49:17] Thank you. [00:49:18] And I wear my vaccinated necklace all the time to say I'm vaccinated. [00:49:22] All of you. [00:49:24] Yes, I know you're vaccinated. [00:49:25] You're the smart ones, but you know there's people out there who aren't listening to God and what God wants. [00:49:30] You know this. [00:49:31] You know who they are. [00:49:33] I need you to be my apostles. [00:49:35] I need you to go out and talk about it. [00:49:38] Jonathan Mayhew, who largely inspired the American Revolution, said that disobedience to tyrants is obedience to God. [00:49:50] So Kathy Huckel, excuse me while I rebel publicly and repeatedly against people like you. [00:50:01] What's so interesting is that the other side always accuses us of trying to conflate church and state, even though it doesn't say that anywhere in the United States Constitution, even though it does not say it anywhere in our founding documents. [00:50:18] But instead, she's the one now going into churches, trying to take the moral high ground and literally trying to deputize apostles. [00:50:30] So what would that make you, Kathy Hochul? [00:50:34] Jesus, the governor of New York. [00:50:38] She also says that she may call in the National Guard to cover for fired or unvaccinated workers from Breitbart.com. [00:50:46] Kathy Hochul said that we're still in a battle against the Fauci virus to protect our loved ones. [00:50:52] And we need to fight with every tool at our disposal. [00:50:55] I am monitoring the staffing situation, and we have a plan to increase our healthcare workforce. [00:51:01] She continued by saying. [00:51:04] Now, here's an interesting question: How are the schools that have, how are they doing that have extremely high vaccination rates? [00:51:14] Are they getting infected? [00:51:17] Are they not getting infected? [00:51:19] Well, Harvard Business School has now locked down again for this semester, despite 95% of the Harvard Harvard student body being vaccinated. [00:51:32] They are locking down again because of the spread of the Chinese coronavirus. [00:51:40] So they say, We need to get, we need you to get vaccinated so we could protect the vaccinated. [00:51:46] I thought that's what the vaccine does. [00:51:48] I thought the vaccine protects the vaccinated from whatever you're afraid of. [00:51:54] Yet, Kathy Hochul says, I need you to be my apostles. [00:52:00] In Matthew, in the book of Matthew, Jesus famously said to his apostles, Who do men say that I am? [00:52:08] And his disciples repeated, they say, Well, some say you're John the Baptist, some say that you are Elijah. [00:52:14] And it continues by saying, On this rock build my church. [00:52:20] Now, the new way of the secular left says, On this rock, put the jab in the arm, or else. === Colorblindness and Segregation History (04:52) === [00:52:31] Hillsdale College, the beacon of the North, the last college, the place of liberty and freedom, they have four purposes: learning, character, faith, and freedom. [00:52:40] Education and faith thrive in freedom, and freedom requires an educated people, a people of good character, to preserve it. [00:52:47] Hillsdale College has been providing the education needed to preserve free government for over 175 years. [00:52:54] It continues to provide that education today, not only to its 1,500 undergraduate and graduate students, but nationwide through its free online courses, its support of classical K-12 charter schools, and its other outreach efforts on behalf of liberty. [00:53:08] Hillsdale's Articles of Association, dating back to 1844, commit the college to preserving the blessings of civil and religious liberty through the provision of sound learning. [00:53:20] This learning includes the Constitution. [00:53:22] It includes the laws of nature and nature's God as described in the Declaration of Independence. [00:53:29] It includes America's beautiful heritage of liberty that too often is falsely derided or denied. [00:53:35] I'm actually going to be at Hillsdale College in just a couple days. [00:53:38] And Hillsdale's model is pursuing truth and defending liberty since 1844. [00:53:43] It will continue to fight to live up to that motto, come what may. [00:53:46] Check out the Beacon of the North, the place that is so beautiful you won't believe it. [00:53:50] They have statues of Frederick Douglass, Winston Churchill, George Washington, Maggie Thatcher, Hillsdale College, the place where liberty and truth are defended. [00:54:01] So check it out at hillsdale.edu. [00:54:04] That's hillsdale.edu. [00:54:08] What if I told you that segregation is back? [00:54:13] Segregation is legal. [00:54:16] And in fact, the people in charge, the ruling class, the cartel, they're in favor of it. [00:54:24] Reading from Foxnews.com, a university in Washington has created segregating housing specifically for black students. [00:54:32] Western Washington University has designated the fourth floor of Alma Clark Glass Hall as housing reserved for black affinity housing program, becoming the latest school to adopt such a program. [00:54:45] Quote, the program will explore and celebrate the diversity of black and African American people and culture with historical and contemporary context. [00:54:53] Western students residing in the program help foster a warm and vibrant communities supporting social, personal, and academic success. [00:55:02] Black affinity housing residents represent all diverse identities, pride themselves on fostering a sense of belonging for all residents. [00:55:10] The black student organization and black applicants have called for the new housing program and defended the move, saying it's not anything new to segregate people based on skin color. [00:55:22] Segregating people based on skin color is what we've always wanted. [00:55:26] American University in Washington, D.C. has also said they are offering black affinity housing after the conviction of George Floyd and the conviction of Derek Chauvin. [00:55:38] I'm sorry, for the murder of George Floyd, is what it says here. [00:55:41] You see, one of the lies of the civil rights movement was that if we passed the Civil Rights Act, we would have a de-emphasized race conversation in the country, that we would be less race aware than ever before. [00:55:58] When in reality, the opposite has happened 60 years later, that our race awareness and consciousness has only become more. [00:56:07] The promise was colorblindness, which is the moral position. [00:56:12] I don't care about what you look like. [00:56:13] I care about who you are. [00:56:15] Instead, we have received the exact opposite, where when you send your child to college, they might go to a school where they will be segregated based on skin color. [00:56:28] The Atlanta public schools are segregating grade school children based on skin color. [00:56:36] The San Diego public schools are segregating children based on skin color. [00:56:42] It reminds me of that famous quote by George Wallace: segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever. [00:56:52] And this is a great test for all of you listening. [00:56:54] And I got this from the wonderful Dennis Prager. [00:56:58] Do you want to find out if the person you are talking to is a liberal that means well or a leftist that wishes to destroy the country? [00:57:06] Ask them if they support black-only dormitories. [00:57:11] Anyone who supports black-only dormitories is a bigot and wants to re-segregate the country based on skin color. === Exposing the Left's Hidden Agenda (14:39) === [00:57:24] We're going to post that article on CharlieKirk.com. [00:57:27] I know that comes as a surprise to a lot of Americans. [00:57:29] They say, what do you mean they're segregating based on skin color? [00:57:32] It's what they're doing. [00:57:33] Black-only dormitories at Western Washington University. [00:57:38] It's going to continue to spread across the country at a record pace. [00:57:42] Okay, let's get back to the court jesters that call themselves generals. [00:57:47] Let's see here. [00:57:48] Let's go to Cut 55, Tom Cotton Girls, Millie, and Secretary Austin over the fact that Biden waited 10 days after Kabul fell. [00:57:55] Play Cut 55. [00:57:56] And as General Milley just said, that assessment was made. [00:58:01] We tasked him to make that assessment on the 25th, and he came back and provided his best military advice. [00:58:06] Secretary, Kabul fell on August 15th. [00:58:11] It was clear that we had thousands of Americans. [00:58:13] It was clear to members of this committee who were getting phone calls that we had thousands of Americans in Afghanistan behind Taliban lines on August 15th. [00:58:19] And it took 10 days to ask these general officers if we should extend our presence. [00:58:23] I suspect the answer might be a little different if you were asking them 16 days out, not five days out. [00:58:29] They didn't even have to do an assessment regarding the August 31st deadline. [00:58:34] Senator Josh Hawley, Cut 54, says, you left Americans behind. [00:58:38] Joe Biden left them behind in Afghanistan. [00:58:40] Play Cut 54. [00:58:42] With all due respect, sir, you have left past tense, Americans behind. [00:58:46] We have no presence any longer in Afghanistan. [00:58:49] There are hundreds of Americans, and not just Americans generally, civilians you left behind against the president's explicit commitment not to leave until all American citizens were out and to safety. [00:59:04] That is not what happened. [00:59:06] And now we have people who are desperately, frantically trying to get out of this country, coming to me, coming to members of this committee, asking for help. [00:59:13] They can't get that help. [00:59:14] They're stuck behind enemy lines. [00:59:16] So please don't tell me that we're not leaving Americans behind. [00:59:19] You left them behind. [00:59:20] Joe Biden left them behind. [00:59:21] And frankly, it was a disgrace. [00:59:24] It was a disgrace. [00:59:25] That is well said, Senator Hawley. [00:59:28] But if you have a government that has betrayed its own citizens domestically, don't be shocked when that government betrays its citizens internationally. [00:59:38] And this is the question, and I'm curious, as we continue to unpack this, email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com. [00:59:46] Are these people incompetent or are they malevolent? [00:59:52] Do these people not know any better? [00:59:55] Or are these people in on the game? [00:59:58] Do they want something that they aren't telling us? [01:00:01] Do they want to see the country go in a certain direction that they're not currently articulating? [01:00:07] So much to get to. [01:00:08] I want to get to this story here. [01:00:08] Joe Biden has come out and he has said that his new bill, the $3.5 trillion bill, costs $0. [01:00:16] That's right. [01:00:16] He's come out and he said, my Build Back Better agenda costs $0. [01:00:22] He said that it adds $0 to the national debt, which of course is not true because the Associated Press says that it will add nearly $1.4 trillion to the national debt. [01:00:33] Now, we haven't been covering this a lot on this program, but I've been monitoring the kind of palace intrigue and the drama behind the multi-trillion dollar bill that is currently being pushed through Congress. [01:00:48] And the Democrats have many different points of crisis on their hands right now. [01:00:56] They have inflation. [01:00:58] They can't explain away Afghanistan. [01:01:00] The borders are completely and totally wide open. [01:01:02] Crime is going up dramatically, which if we have time, we'll cover it. [01:01:06] If not, we'll do it tomorrow because the crime statistics are stunning. [01:01:09] But the Democrats are stonewalled by the people in their own party. [01:01:15] And one person in particular is deciding to wage war on Kirsten Cinema and on Joe Manchin. [01:01:24] The ingrate Elon Omar, who is only in America, thanks to the generosity and the benevolency of our own country who rescued her from a Kenyan refugee camp, she calls Manchin and Cinema Republicans. [01:01:38] Now, it took a little bit longer than I would have thought, but finally we are seeing Democrats start to fight amongst themselves. [01:01:45] Finally, we are starting to see the people in charge of the feast, they're starting to argue over who gets the most amount of food. [01:01:57] They are tearing each other apart. [01:01:59] It's happening privately, and it's pouring into the public discourse. [01:02:03] PlayCut 44. [01:02:05] My colleague Manu Raju asked her for her thoughts a short time ago about Senators Kirsten Cinema and Joe Manchin. [01:02:11] Here's what she said. [01:02:14] It is saddening to see them use Republican talking points. [01:02:18] We obviously didn't envision having Republicans as part of our party. [01:02:23] And I hope that they will understand that Democrats need to be united behind the president's agenda. [01:02:32] And we need to have urgent conversations on how to get this agenda done. [01:02:36] There's a lot of things I want to say about that, but I'm not going to say it. [01:02:39] So email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com. [01:02:42] But as this is continuing to happen in Congress, the question is, are they going to be able to pass their massive spending package? [01:02:53] Are they going to be able to pass the infrastructure package with the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill alongside the debt ceiling? [01:03:06] And Senator Mitch McConnell, who gets fair treatment on this program, has done a terrific job of holding the line on the debt ceiling. [01:03:14] Now, in return, they should demand something and say, you just don't want transparency, but we want a southern border. [01:03:23] Make Joe Biden shut down the government. [01:03:26] Make Joe Biden oversee the locking down and the shutting down of the government. [01:03:31] Do we have Cut 58? [01:03:32] But don't worry, everybody. [01:03:34] Nancy Pelosi says that we need to keep the government open because we have to fulfill Obama's agenda. [01:03:41] Play Cut 58. [01:03:43] Keep government open. [01:03:45] We have to do those imminently, more imminently even to address the full Obama agenda of building back better. [01:03:56] And I love to say building back better. [01:03:59] We are run by our country is truly being run by people that should be in Del Boca Vista. [01:04:09] Anyone know what Del Boca Vista is? [01:04:11] Oh, you guys got to watch more Seinfeld. [01:04:15] It's back to school time, and you may be feeling the burden of college bills or private tuition school expenses. [01:04:20] With home equity at a all-time high and interest rates low, refinancing your house could be a great way to get some cash and pay out those bills. [01:04:27] But look, I'm going to cut it to you straight. [01:04:28] Stop using banks to refinance your home that hate you. [01:04:31] Every big bank hates you. [01:04:33] They hate your values. [01:04:34] They hate your worldview. [01:04:35] They want to take our guns away. [01:04:36] They fund Planned Parenthood. [01:04:38] Enough. [01:04:38] So let's go with the good guys. [01:04:39] I got two good friends. [01:04:40] These guys love the Lord. [01:04:41] They love their country. [01:04:43] They're really fun people. [01:04:45] They're down to earth. [01:04:46] It's Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian at andrewandTodd.com. [01:04:50] They are with Sierra Pacific Mortgage, people I know and trust with them, and you should too. [01:04:54] So it's super simple. [01:04:56] Anything you need for a home loan, anything at all, refinance, take out a loan. [01:05:00] Don't go to Chase. [01:05:01] Don't go to Wells Fargo. [01:05:03] Definitely don't go to Goldman Sachs. [01:05:05] I don't think many people would because I don't think they have a retail operation. [01:05:07] Don't go to this brick and mortar nonsense of these people that are woke USA, wearing two masks, take your money and deposit it, charge you fees, and then say, oh, let's take out a loan. [01:05:18] By the way, the money we make is going to go fund the downfall of America. [01:05:21] Ain't done with that. [01:05:22] Instead, just go to andrewandtodd.com. [01:05:25] Again, these are two patriots who love the Lord and they love their country. [01:05:28] Take 30 seconds to answer a couple questions. [01:05:31] That gives them the info they need and gives you value information often on the first call. [01:05:36] Andrew and Todd, they are not brokers. [01:05:38] They are bankers, which means they can handle your loan from start to finish. [01:05:41] So you always have someone in your corner. [01:05:43] Again, they're honest. [01:05:44] They are great people. [01:05:46] I've got to know them so well. [01:05:48] So take that first step towards getting the cash you need today.

[01:06:10] And you know what gives me some peace at night? [01:06:12] I know that when I use them, they love the Lord and they love the flag and they love the country. [01:06:18] It really makes me feel good about it. [01:06:20] AndrewandTodd.com, start supporting the good guys and stop taking out loans of people that hate you and hate your values. [01:06:29] Joe Rogan has become a freedom fighter. [01:06:32] And he always has been. [01:06:33] I had a chance to meet Joe Rogan while shooting guns in California. [01:06:37] We exchanged notes on Ivermectin, amongst other things. [01:06:41] And I've always been a Joe Rogan fan. [01:06:44] Obviously, I disagree with him on plenty of things. [01:06:46] I got these emails from people. [01:06:47] Charlie, how dare you praise Joe Rogan? [01:06:49] He smokes weed. [01:06:50] Yeah, he smokes weed. [01:06:52] Not a fan. [01:06:52] Okay. [01:06:53] Happy to talk to him about that. [01:06:55] My own personal views on that, how I think the law should reflect that. [01:06:58] Do I think that Joe Rogan is one of the best interviewers of the modern era? [01:07:02] Yes. [01:07:03] Is he endlessly interesting? [01:07:06] Yeah. [01:07:07] He's incredibly entertaining and he's fair. [01:07:11] Joe Rogan is fair. [01:07:13] Joe Rogan doesn't put up with nonsense on his program. [01:07:15] He doesn't allow his guests to meander in areas, liberal or conservative, that is unfactual or speculative or quite honestly ideological. [01:07:24] Joe Rogan is a non-ideological being. [01:07:27] He's someone that just loves the country, has made a lot of money in the country, has worked really hard, sees things a certain way that yields to the promise of the Declaration of Independence, which we have a separate and equal station that we get our rights from, of the consent of the governed. [01:07:48] He believes in the laws of nature and nature as God. [01:07:50] Very simple stuff. [01:07:52] And for that, Joe Rogan has been crucified by the activist media for believing that we shouldn't have locked down the entire country and that we shouldn't have vaccine mandates. [01:08:05] But there's a new video that is going viral that Joe Rogan has posted that was him talking. [01:08:11] We'll play 32 seconds of it. [01:08:13] And yes, if you watch it on social media, it's full of vulgarity and swear words. [01:08:17] Again, not my style. [01:08:18] We're a family-friendly program here. [01:08:20] But when you have someone as mainstream as Joe Rogan, the number one podcaster of all time, let me say that again. [01:08:26] Joe Rogan is the number one podcaster of all time. [01:08:30] He is the most influential cultural icon, non-musical cultural icon for young men under the age of 40, and it's not even close. [01:08:42] He does long-form podcast interviews. [01:08:45] He is someone that has always been contrarian on certain issues, but he right here has been heroic and quite honestly helpful in getting people to wake up and realize what's actually going on in the country. [01:08:59] Play a small taste of Joe Rogan arguing for freedom from COVID tyranny. [01:09:04] Play Cut 57. [01:09:06] As soon as you give politicians power, any kind of power that didn't exist previously, if they can figure out a way to force you into carrying something that lets you enter businesses or lets you do this or lets businesses open, historically, they are not going to give that power up. [01:09:25] They find new reasons to use power back. [01:09:28] We have to protect those freedoms at all costs, whether you agree with people's choices or not, because it is the foundation that this country was founded on. [01:09:36] Freedom. [01:09:38] Now, that's just a small taste. [01:09:40] We're going to post it on CharlieKirk.com. [01:09:42] Again, there's a couple swear words throughout it. [01:09:44] But this video has millions of views, by the way, and the press, they are losing their mind. [01:09:50] They say, how dare you call out tyranny? [01:09:52] This is not tyranny. [01:09:53] It's actually comfort. [01:09:54] It is wonderful. [01:09:56] Do you notice that every single time the other side says we need to unite? [01:10:01] You know what they actually mean? [01:10:02] Conform. [01:10:04] When Joe Biden gave his speech, his inaugural address, he said, we're going to unite the country. [01:10:10] We said from the beginning, no, no, no, no. [01:10:13] You are going to make the country obey and conform. [01:10:16] Their idea of uniting is to make you take a knee and be subservient to their agenda. [01:10:23] And Joe Rogan, in a non-ideological and dare I say, effective way, is moving the Overton window and waking people up. [01:10:32] Joe Rogan is more effective in preaching liberty than most Senate Republicans will ever be in fighting for liberty in the United States Senate. [01:10:42] The tattooed, weed-smoking, deer-hunting comedian and the number one podcaster of all time has become an ally in the fight of self-government, separation of powers, the consent of the governed. [01:11:00] I'm thrilled to see it because many people thought that Joe Rogan was going to back down once he signed that Spotify deal. [01:11:07] But the way that he was smeared and attacked after he took Iver Mecton, I think it's red-pilled him in a way that people would not have expected. [01:11:16] You could take the blue pill, you could take the red pill. [01:11:19] And Joe Rogan was like, yeah, give me the red pill. [01:11:23] When you win over, and by the way, we're running out of time on this, but in the next tomorrow, remind me to go over Russell Brand, another unusual cultural icon who's coming around. [01:11:36] They built this regime of social media dominance. [01:11:40] And all of a sudden, they're going to realize that a lot of these social media influencers are not having what they're selling.
