Defeating Antifa in Eugene 00:14:56
Hey, everybody, how we defeated Antifa in Oregon.
That's right.
We're taking a victory lap.
They tried their best to stop us from having our event in Eugene, Oregon, and we won and they lost.
We talk about the details of that, and we talk about some of the lessons on how you could defeat the radical left on how Antifa losers after trying to cancel us five times.
That's right, not once, not twice, not three, not four, but five times.
Kind of sounds like LeBron James when he used to say how many championships he was allegedly going to win at Miami.
Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five.
Well, he didn't win that many championships with Miami.
In fact, he's lost more championships than he's won.
But guess what?
We won and Antifa lost because we did our event and we go through that.

Hey, everybody.
Welcome to the show today.
Quite a day yesterday in Oregon, where despite the best efforts of the Antifa crew of cancellation crowd, we had an amazing event in Eugene, Oregon.
Five venues.
I just want you all to understand what we have to go through when we do these events.
And well, first of all, the campuses we're not allowed on because it's unsafe because they're trying to say that the virus is a reason why you can't have events.
Meanwhile, they'll put 85,000 people in Autson Stadium for a football game.
So we can't do it on campus.
So we say, okay, let's find a hotel near campus to try to make it easier.
And what we have to deal with every time we announce it and every time we announce it, there will be left-wing activist groups that hear that we're coming.
They'll start contacting the hotel, threatening them, and intimidating the hotel and their workers to try to cancel our event.
So they did this in Eugene once.
We found a new venue.
They did it a second time and we found a new venue.
They did it a third time and we found a new venue.
They did it a fourth time and we found a new venue.
They did it a fifth time.
And then yesterday morning, when we thought we had everything all sorted out, they canceled us again through activist pressure of threatening employees, of going after the owners, and saying that there might be destruction.
So we finally found a sixth venue.
And this is a really important thing.
And credit and thanks to the amazing Turning Point USA staff who would not be deterred.
They would not allow these basement dwelling activists to stop us from being able to organize and have an event in the state of Oregon and right near University of Oregon in Eugene.
So we had the event last night.
It was amazing.
It was standing room only.
We had hundreds and hundreds of people that unfortunately were not even allowed to come into the venue because it wasn't big enough.
Our biggest problem when we have these events is finding spaces and venues big enough to be able to facilitate all the students that want to attend.
And we must understand that the new threat against speech is not just the existential threat of government shutting off our speech.
And it's not even just big tech and big companies coming against our speech, the corporate oligarchy.
It's also the culture of people being afraid of the potential backlash that could ensue if you experience threats and intimidation.
I'm not saying it's easy, trust me.
I'm not saying it's easy to be a hotel owner in Eugene, Oregon and receive 500 phone calls from mass vigilantes and say, if you host Charlie Kirk, if you host Turning Point USA, we're going to burn your hotel to the ground and we're going to follow your workers to their homes and intimidate them and harass them.
I'm not saying it's easy.
But what we did last night is that we showed how powerless these activists actually are.
The only way you can deal with them is by not allowing them to determine the terms of engagement.
The only way that you can deal with these activists is you show and you disempower them to such an extent that all of the effort that they put into it to try to say, oh, you're not welcome, Eugene, you're not coming to a university campus.
Oh, that was for wasted.
That was all wasted.
So for all the left-wing people that are watching this that say, wow, why did we put all that effort in?
Good question.
Why did you?
Go do something useful.
Go find a purpose in your life.
These are deeply insecure people.
This is the other part.
This is a very important part.
These are people that are not rooted to the earth.
They've never worked an honest day with their hands.
They wouldn't know a plow from waking up at 5 o'clock in the morning.
They don't know anything about things that take time, work, or meaning.
These are highly insecure people that grew up in a technologically driven economy, largely from the suburbs, very white, I might add, by the way, upper white middle class, filled with guilt, and they don't really know their place in the world.
And so insecure people make the world a worse place.
Let me say that.
That's a blanket statement, but insecure people generally try to control other people.
They overcompensate.
And when you're not secure in your beliefs, then yes, you are going to try to go and be a massed activist and go and follow us around the very small town of Eugene and try to prevent us from evil even being able to speak.
Many conservatives say, well, why even waste your time going to Eugene?
I'll tell you why.
And it's not a waste of time.
When I saw in the crowd last night hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people from Oregon, University of Oregon, Oregon State University, there are more conservatives at these schools than you could ever imagine.
You want to know why the country's in the place that it's in?
It's because some conservatives have said that these places are wastes of time.
Our ideas work to all communities at all times.
Yes, sometimes you have to navigate the backlash.
Sometimes you have to understand that they're going to try to prevent you from coming.
But I am here to say that despite everything that they've thrown at us, we have successfully pulled off events, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, University of Vermont.
We also had Idaho this last week.
That one wasn't as contentious as far as the protesting and the activists.
And then now University of Oregon here in Eugene, where we just were.
And we're now heading to Clemson, Alabama, University of Arizona.
This weekend we'll be in Denver.
We're expecting 3,000 plus people in Denver.
And this was a victory for speech.
And I know a lot of people listening to this are wondering, how on earth is this what happens on college campuses?
They train people to do this on college campuses.
This is a program that is implemented from the professors, the administrators.
And our message is very clear.
Our message is that if you disagree, you are allowed to go to the front of the line.
If you have a difference of worldview, Worldview, we want to have a dialogue with you.
We believe certain ideas are certainly better than others.
We are not saying that all ideas are created equal.
That is not what we are saying.
There are some awful ideas out there.
We are saying, though, if you have an awful idea, you have a right to say it.
You as a human being can say whatever sort of garbage or brilliant or wise sort of statement.
And that's the way that we're supposed to govern ourselves.
If you were to organize every type of government in the world, you could either organize them through one that has a preference on force or one that has a preference on speaking and talking persuasion and reason.
The people that followed us around Eugene and canceled us five times where we successfully got it the sixth time where we disempowered them because we would not give up on our amazing staff at Turning Point USA was on top of it, on top of it, on top of it.
The people that were trying to cancel us, they want to live under a regime of force.
They're done talking, is what they say, because they believe that freedom of speech is a white supremacist colonialist hierarchical value.
I am not kidding.
You go read their own literature.
Go read Herbert Marcuse.
Go read One Dimensional Man.
Go read Spinoza.
Now, isn't it interesting that the Attorney General of the United States calls moms and dads who show up to school board meetings and complain domestic terrorists, but not the people that sent us on a scenic tour throughout Eugene because they kept on intimidating hotel workers, maids, owners saying they were going to burn it all down?
You know, they doxed the address of where we were last night, publicly saying, this is where Charlie Kirk is, everybody.
This is where he is right now.
And we brought in more security.
We're not going to be intimidated by these people, and you shouldn't either.
You shouldn't be intimidated by some boss that acts as if you have to be some sort of left-wing activist or liberal activist at your workplace.
Don't be intimidated by your friend that says, you're not allowed to say those things.
Go find new friends.
Do not live under the tyranny of the authoritarianism, the boot of this regime of political correctness.
And what we did last night moved the dial.
It moved the perspective of what is happening and how we do things where we successfully pulled off an event peacefully, by the way, and the response was overwhelming in Eugene, Oregon.
And why are they trying to cancel us?
They try to cancel us because they know our ideas are persuasive.
They try to cancel us because they know our ideas work.
I asked everyone in the audience, Oregon State students, University of Oregon, how many people here, how many of you have heard a conservative speaker on campus recently?
No hands went up.
So they spend weeks of work to try to cancel us for one 90-minute speech that should tell you everything you need to know about the truth and the virality and the potential that our ideas and our worldview has as soon as we are allowed to speak.
And for all of you, Antifa cancellation crowd, you guys lost and we won.
Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?
Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization?

I remember back in May of 2020, there were a few leaders that decided to do the right thing.
Many Republicans did the wrong thing.
Many Republicans remained locked down, scared, and had their states remain closed.
I remember when Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in May of 2020 opened up his state of Florida.
I remember one of our team members, Josh, who was in Florida, sent me a selfie of something I had not seen for months.
He sent me a selfie of him eating inside a restaurant.
And I remember showing Erica and showing our team, I said, they have restaurants open in Florida.
This was in May of 2020.
Ron DeSantis was the first major state to open because he trusted the science, not the scientists that they want us to listen to.
Ron DeSantis was unafraid to allow a conversation around ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, aspirin, and monoclonal antibodies.
Florida is now tied for having the lowest number of daily average cases of the Fauci virus per capita in the United States.
It's tied with Hawaii.
And the only reason why Hawaii is low is because they've decided to enforce very strong border control and immigration control to get to Hawaii, something that I wish our own country would do.
But Hawaii, they don't want to have bad things come to their beautiful island.
Well, why would we not have strong borders coming into America?
Illinois, for example, which has started vaccinating children, mask mandates, for those of you listening on AM560, The Answer, has 17 cases per 100,000, where Florida has nine cases per 100,000.
So Illinois has nearly doubled the COVID rate despite lockdowns, despite mass vaccination strategies.
Governor Whitmer's Michigan, who's been one of the most aggressive lockdown states in the country, 38 cases per 100,000.
How about Tom Wolf's Pennsylvania, another lockdown happy state, 30 cases per 100,000.
New York, 19 per 100,000.
Florida is also reporting a significantly lower daily death rate than any other state.
Why?
Because Ron DeSantis decided to go straight to the monoclonal antibody producer.
He circumvented the federal Biden regime saying that, oh, you have enough monoclonal antibodies in Florida.
Ron DeSantis came under huge accusation, I'm reading from Breitbart.com, for opening up the economy early.
Florida jobs growth is three times the national average, growing for 17 consecutive months.
And I'm just going to say the obvious, which needs to be said out loud.
Florida has one of the most elderly populations in the country.
Florida's population is most at risk from the Fauci Chinese coronavirus.
And despite that, Ron DeSantis fully opened the state and he says, I'm going to trust people to make the right choice.
Ron DeSantis has also come out, and he has said that if you are a nurse, a police officer, a firefighter, you will not be forced to take the vaccine in the state of Florida.
Florida is a test case, everybody, of what Justice Louis Brandeis said of the laboratories of democracy, allowing the competition between states.
This is why Fauci and NIH and the CDC has become so completely irrelevant.
Allowing states to make their own decisions is a unique characteristic of the American constitutional order.
Of course, the left-wing Democrats, they want to get rid of that.
But Florida is a completely different state than Oregon, where I just was.
Florida is unafraid, wide open, free.
If you are in the state of Idaho, you could be fired.
Idaho, which is an overwhelmingly conservative state, there are nurses being fired because they don't take the vaccine.
Florida, Ron DeSantis said that's not going to happen.
I'm going to intervene.
Ron DeSantis is withholding federal funding from certain cities that are implementing mask mandates.
Now, what makes Ron DeSantis different than most other governors?
Well, he's very smart.
Most people in politics are not smart.
He's also courageous.
He's willing to do the right thing.
And the results speak for itself.
Look out the lockdown artists of Mike DeWine in Ohio.
Massive failure.
How about Charlie Baker, Republican from Massachusetts?
Massive failure.
Larry Hogan in Maryland, massive failure.
Ron DeSantis knew: quote, I will not let the heavy hand of government force Floridians to take a shot.
That violates their constitutional rights, infringes on their medical freedom, and threatens their livelihoods.
Why don't we have every Republican out loud saying that?
Why is the National Republican Party not advocating for medical freedom?
Free Mass Zymes Offer 00:02:06
Are they bought by Pfizer, Johnson, and Johnson, AstraZeneca, Moderna, and BioNTech?
Obviously, they might as well just wear a NASCAR jersey with all their sponsors.
Well, guess what?
Ron DeSantis is controlled by one thing: the people of Florida.
He's controlled by his constituents, and he's doing a great job.
Okay, I'm going to get straight to the point.
My friends over at Buy Optimizers have put together a truly irresistible offer that is only good during the month of October.
So here's the deal: you'll get a free 30-day supply of their enzyme supplement called Mass Zymes.
You'll get a free copy of their book, From Sick to Superhuman, and you'll get a free copy of their brand new Carnivore Cookbook.
This bundle is valued at $65, but they'll send it to you for free if you fill out a short form and cover a small shipping fee.
Trust me, guys, this is a very rare deal.
So why would you take advantage of this free bundle offer besides the fact that it's free?
Well, Mass Zymes is a powerful, best-in-class enzyme supplement that improves digestion, reduces gas and bloating, provides relief from constipation, and more.
Well, you'll want this supplement daily, even if you only eat organic health food.
Why?
Because your body produces fewer enzymes as you age, so it becomes harder for your body to quickly digest and assimilate food.
Taking Mass Symes daily can fill those gaps.
After you start taking Mass Symes, you may notice that you no longer feel bloated after meals and that your belly feels flatter.
And if you have a leaky gut, Mass Symes could reduce gut irritation and help you absorb more nutrients.
But remember, a 30-day supply of mass symes is not all you're getting with the special offer.
The book, From Sick to Superhuman, gives you the tools, tips, and techniques you need to become a superhuman version of yourself, biologically optimized for health, aesthetics, and performance.
And the new Carnivore Cookbook contains 72 delicious low-carb meat recipes that are perfect for carnivores, keto dieters, meat lovers, and everyone in between.
Like I said, this free bundle offer is only available during the month of October.

An NRA for families.
That would be nice, wouldn't it?
If we had people in Washington, D.C. and state capitals across the country actually defending social conservative values and what's happening in our country from education to having more children.
Well, a friend of mine is here with us.
He is running the American Principles Project.
He's doing a great job.
And he also has, you are very involved in what's happening on the ground in Virginia.
I want to talk to him about that.
Terry Schilling from the American Principals Project, welcome.
Thanks so much for having me, Charlie.
So, Terry, tell us what's happening in Virginia right now.
You guys have been very involved in the McAuliffe-Younkin race.
It seems like it's tightening very quickly.
What's happening on the ground?
Well, Charlie, we've seen a surge of support for Glenn Youngkin and a huge drop in support for Terry McAuliffe.
And it's all pertaining to what's going on in Northern Virginia, especially as it regards schools.
So parents across the country have been outraged at the fact when they learn that their children are being taught to judge their peers by their skin color, when they're being encouraged to change their gender even before they're 18.
And they're also really upset about allowing boys into girls' sports.
About three weeks ago, Fox News released a poll that showed Glenn Youngkin was down about 10 points among parents in Virginia.
Just two days ago, another poll came out showing that Glenn Youngkin was up 17 points against Terry McAuliffe.
There's been a 27-point shift in this race.
It's a huge deal, and it's all being led by parents and families who are really concerned about the future for their children.
And that's an extraordinary development.
Go into detail about the Loudoun County case, Terry, because people have heard some of the details.
The media is totally gaslighting this entire thing.
Talk about how the father's daughter, the ninth grader, was raped in the restroom, and then they sent the ninth grader as a cover-up to a completely another school.
And it happened again, not the ninth grader, but the rapist.
Talk about the details of that case.
Charlie, the details are absolutely enraging here.
So this father who is in Loudoun County gets a call from the school saying that his daughter was assaulted.
So he runs to the school to pick up his daughter and then he hears the details from his daughter and finds out that this wasn't an assault.
It wasn't an altercation.
She didn't get beat up.
She was sexually assaulted, raped in the worst possible ways.
I can't even discuss it because your audience would be just throwing up.
Then he confronts the school and finds out that they didn't turn this into police investigation as a criminal matter.
So he then goes to the school board meeting, the very next one that he could, to bring up the fact that this happened and to oppose the transgender policy that the school board was getting ready to prepare.
As parents were bringing up the concerns about sexual assault from allowing boys into girls' private spaces, Dr. Scott Ziegler, who's the superintendent of schools in Loudoun County, told the entire room that he was unaware of any cases of sexual assault in Loudoun County School District.
That this was not a problem.
Charlie, the parents there organized, they got a FOIA request and they found out that Dr. Scott Ziegler actually had already emailed the entire board in Loudoun County that there was a sexual assault by a male in the girls' restroom who was wearing a dress.
This was a total cover-up.
The media played along with it because they wanted to pass their transgender bathroom agenda.
This is a total fraud.
People need to go to jail.
I'd be really scared if I was Dr. Scott Ziegler, if Jason Mayeres, who's running for attorney general in Virginia, if he ends up winning, because that guy had better go to jail.
But then they transferred him to another school.
Talk about that.
They transferred the rapist knowingly to another school, and the rapists raped again.
That's exactly right, Charlie.
They tried to cover it up.
They don't want, look, these schools cover up anything that they can.
They don't want things on their paperwork.
They don't want it on their record.
So they transfer him to another school.
And then this time, the sexual predator ends up sexually assaulting another girl, this time not a 15-year-old, but a 14-year-old, in a classroom.
Charlie, these are sexually dysfunctional, sexually confused people, and they're the exact type of people that we shouldn't be having in our schools.
This is what parents have been upset about since the beginning of this transgender debates that started back in 2015.
We don't want men, let alone sexually confused men who believe that they're women and don't see anything wrong with that, in the same private spaces as our daughters.
It's very simple.
This isn't about bigotry.
This isn't about hate.
We want to protect our daughters.
And Democrats instead called us transphobic.
They said we were bigoted.
They said we were evil.
This is an evil movement, Charlie.
You know that better than anyone.
And it's time to pay the Piper.
These people are going to pay a political consequence next Tuesday.
And it's going to be something bigger.
And I think we're going to see something incredible.
And I'm calling it the Tea Party for Families.
2022 midterms are going to be all about parents and families and protecting our kids in schools.
I love that.
And Scott Ziegler is the bottom of the barrel.
He's the type of guy who, of course, needs to go to jail and all that.
But his pompous attitude and how he lied as an official of the superintendent of schools, I hope that he gets punished beyond belief because the rape of the second victim is on him and the entire political correct ACLU transgender lobby pandering cartel of criminals that run the Loudoun County School Board.
And parents are rising up in record numbers.
Now, Terry, Virginia was a traditional blue state, and Youngkin was running like a super boring race.
He was talking about, I don't know, what was he talking about, Connor, like Chamber of Commerce stuff, you know, why we need to improve, I don't know, licensing for hairdressers or something.
And then Terry, all of a sudden, he got a little bit based and he started talking about things that matter.
Talk about that and then talk about what happened to the polls as soon as he actually got serious about winning.
So, yeah, no, Glenn Youngkin really is a Mitt Romney-style candidate.
He has a lot in common with him.
He has the same type of business background, the same corporate tendencies.
And he was running this campaign about lowering regulations, protecting entrepreneurs and business owners, which is important.
I don't want to attack business owners, but something magical happened.
You know, Charlie, as you said, we're the NRA for families.
We only get involved in races where family policies can make a difference.
So we weren't planning on investing any money here.
But something special happened about three weeks ago.
And that is the parents of this state started pushing back so hard against the school boards and these Democrats.
Glenn Youngkin, to his credit, he saw the opportunity.
He saw that this was a winning political issue and he has stepped up to the plate.
Look, we have to be, you have to give Glenn credit.
He saw this as an important issue and he had a choice.
He didn't have to back up the parents.
He could have done what so many politicians do when these important issues come up and run from it, but he didn't.
He stepped into the arena.
He doubled down.
He's been leading the charge against the Loudoun County School Board saying that people need to go to jail over this.
So he has become incredibly based, especially over the parents and schools and family issues.
And it's absolutely beautiful to see this is the key to victory.
It's leaning into the culture.
It's fighting these evil people that want to destroy our country, want to destroy our children and control us.
And I'm just so grateful.
You know, Charlie, and we've had a lot of great support from small dollar donors and others.
We've raised almost $1 million to help get Glenn Youngkin elected and keep Terry McAuliffe out.
And this message is really resonating with voters here.
Well, and this is something that shouldn't even be political, right?
This is something that should, it's become political because of the other side.
So talk about Obama's coming in, McAuliffe.
You have the entire regime that is just flooding the zone.
They don't know how to deal with this educational issue.
And finally, Terry, we are seeing people take the stuff we've been talking about for years seriously.
We've been talking about the transgender thing.
We've been talking about CRT.
We've been talking about children.
And all they wanted to talk about was corporate tax cuts and, you know, vain capital strategy to re-domicile labor to Wuhan China when actually parents are now activated the very same group of people that we were told Donald Trump was disenfranchising.
Talk about that.
Well, Charlie, I think part of the big problem that we have in our country is that you have the Democrats, and they're the party of big government.
They want to run our lives with government agencies and government bureaucrats.
But on the other side of the aisle, the Republican Party has, for the most part, been the party of big business.
They want big, big elite business owners and big, big elite business companies, you know, like big pharma, big tech, big oil.
They want them running our lives.
And the real answer is neither.
And part of our mission at APP is to turn the Republican Party into the party of families.
That's the key to victory here.
It's so simple.
It's so simple.
And it's so obvious.
This is what we care.
We care more about our families.
We care more about our children than our money.
Everyone knows that.
In fact, no one knows it better than parents because we give our children all of our money.
We pay a lot of money to educate them.
We pay a lot of money to feed them.
My kid, I have five kids, Charlie, as you know, and they eat me out of house and home.
But I want to back up because something really important happened this Saturday in Virginia.
President Obama came to town and he held a big rally for Terry McCauley because they're scared.
And he said one thing that I really want to reiterate and it shows that we're winning.
He said, we need to stop focusing on all of these phony, trumped up culture wars that the GOP wants to distract us with.
Charlie, this is the king of the culture wars.
I mean, he was the five-star general leading the charge.
This is the guy that sued Catholic nuns for not wanting to buy abortion services or birth control.
He's the guy that want and started the transgender bathroom madness.
But there's something really special here.
He doesn't want us focusing on the culture wars because they're losing.
That's right.
They're finally realizing that they're losing and they want to go back to the days where it was a one-sided truce, where the Republicans were the ones not talking about social issues and advancing and protecting families, where it's just Democrats going on offense.
And actually, it's been a slaughter.
It's been a massacre.
If you look at how fast the country's changed culturally since the GOP gave up on those social issues for just those four years, we now have transgender children, right?
We have children that are taking mutilation.
They're taking puberty blockers and chemically castrating themselves.
I was just in Oregon where you can get sexual reassignment surgery paid for by the Oregon government, Oregon taxpayers, without the consent of your parents.
You can walk into a facility, no parent consent, sign a couple forms as a 12-year-old and come out a different gender with irreversible damage to how God made you biologically and morally.
It is disgusting.
And we have a whole pile of stuff I wanted to get to, Terry, about Florida school board member takes elementary school students on a field trip to a gay bar.
I don't know if you saw this one or not.
In Kentucky, they're having strip club stuff actually in the gymnasium where students were stripping in front of teachers, and they think that's perfectly fine.
Child pornographic material is now being found in the Texas schools.
Terry, what can parents do?
They are losing patients.
Some of them are like going to school boards is not enough.
What can they do, Terry?
You have to get politically engaged.
You can't just go to the school board level.
You have to vote.
You have to volunteer for campaigns.
You have to donate to the candidates that need to win.
And by the way, Charlie, you need to run for office.
You can't just go to your school board meeting.
There are 13,000 school districts in this country, 93,000 school board members.
Thousands of them every year go unchallenged.
Thousands of seats every year go unfilled.
Run for office.
No one's going to do it unless you do it.
So I would encourage everyone to get involved in politics, run for office, get involved in campaigns.
And by the way, sign up for APP's big family.
You know, we're building a big family.
You got big pharma, big tech, big oil.
We need a big family to hold these guys accountable and have some consequences.
I love it.

Terry, talk to you soon, and we will get you back on for the Virginia race.
Thanks, man.
Are you worried about America's future?
Times of trouble are full of reasons to despair, but those who have built and preserved our country did not despair.
And if we're going to do our part, we need to draw on the books, the history, and the ideas that gave our forefathers and mothers strength and inspiration.
Hillsdale College, the beacon of the North, the last college, was founded in 1844 to teach these things, and it teaches them still today.
The great news is that we can study all these things along with Hillsdale College professors right in our home.
Through Hillsdale College's free online course, we can study the history of our civilization, the wisdom of ancient and Christian philosophers, the writings of Shakespeare and Mark Twain.
We can reacquaint ourselves with our Constitution.
We can learn how the Constitution has been undermined, and more importantly, how it can be recovered.
I take the Hillsdale online courses every single day.
You guys can go to charlie4hillsdale.com and join me in taking intro to Constitution, Constitution 101, the Federalist Papers, an intro to the Progressive Era, Progressive 201 is what it's called.
From Genesis to John Locke, the Western tradition.
How about how to teach your children Genesis?
Look, if you want to know what's going wrong with our country, then you guys have to go to charlie4hillsdale.com and learn about the truth behind Western civilization, behind truth and beauty and goodness.
They have a course on Dante's Divine Comedy.
I just finished recently the Winston Churchill and Statesmanship course.
Every child, every kid, every person, every citizen should take the Winston Churchill and Statesmanship class.
I just finished Introduction to Aristotle's Ethics, How to Lead a Good Life.
And I'm telling you, I'm almost done, 41% of the way there.
Western heritage from Genesis to John Locke.
The Genesis story, I'm about to wrap up.
The C.S. Lewis course is incredible.
The Great American Story, Land of Hope.
Every single person, if you're a parent, literally pay your children to do.
There's no better investment.
Have them go through the great American story, a land of hope.
And also, if you're like, hey, what's the proper way to educate my kids?
They have a course on that too.
A proper understanding of K-12 education, theory, and practice.
They have a new course now, the David Story, Shepherd, Father, and King.
They have one on mathematics and logic from Euclid to modern geometry, civil rights in American history, classic children's literature.
Also, Congress, how it worked and why it doesn't, the Second World Wars, Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, and selected short stories.
Literally, if you take every single Hillsdale online course, it's better than most college diplomas out there.
I am not kidding.
So dive deep into the ideas.
Do it with your kids.
Maybe you are a college student listening to this.
You're like, man, I'm not getting much out of my college experience.
Or here's another thing.
Maybe your college professors are teaching you garbage about Western civilization.
Then counter that by taking your own courses to know the truth and challenge your professors.
They have a great one on the presidency and the constitution, Economics 101, the principle of free market economics.
And they have some new ones coming out with Victor Davis Hanson that will blow your socks off.

If you have children in public school, make sure you know what they're being taught and make sure you know what's happening at school.
I'm just going to go through a couple of these.
Kelly Bates, who's on our school board watch list at Turning Point USA, says at a recent school board meeting, quote, we do not need a white man sitting on our board and said, quote, we are not all wealthy white women who sit on home eating bonbons all day.
Now, if you look at a picture of Kelly Bates, you would get the impression that she has been eating bonbons for quite a long time.
She is a Mark Milley type.
And yet she is on a school board in Greenwood Village, Colorado, vice president of the Cherry Creek School Board, saying that we don't need any white women on our board.
Do we have the clip of that professor too?
In the meantime, I want to read about this story here.
Everyone, you got to be on top of what's happening in our schools, everybody.
It's the number one issue in America outside of inflation and the open border and all that other stuff.
I mean, there's a lot of stuff.
So it's up there, right?
The school issue is right there.
I don't mean to categorize it.
In Kentucky, of all places, a principal was given a lap dance by one of his students in a gymnasium for a homecoming event.
This principal is now under investigation, and the administration and the administrator is sitting there with a big grin on his face while a boy clad in a black dress bends over in front of him and giving him a lap dance.
The incident is under investigation, and was what the school board has now said.
You look at pictures of this.
The administration seemed to be sitting in chairs while boys with no shirts and in short shorts came up to administrators and started to give them lap dances and started to engage in some of the most graphic sexually explicit activity you could imagine.
Now, you might think I'm exaggerating.
It's so disgusting, but you guys can check it out.
We'll repost it at charliekirk.com.
It's at the New York Post.
The New York Post, quote, Kentucky principal investigated after getting lap dance at homeschool event, at homeschool, at homecoming event.
I'm sorry, at homecoming event.
And the principal of the school thought this was perfectly appropriate and engaged in it and actually seemed to enjoy it.
This is at Hazard High School in Kentucky.
And a male student touched his stomach, another guy's stomach during the homecoming event.
But don't worry, he was wearing a mask, everybody.
So it was fine.
The teacher was wearing a mask, even though he got a lap dance from a male student.
I'm not exaggerating about any of this.
This is the stuff that's happening now in high schools, unfortunately, all across the country.
Florida school board member took elementary school students, a separate story, on a field trip to a gay bar.
Quote, I am so honored to be invited to chaperone Wilton Manners Elementary School's field trip to the incredible Rosies.
The students and I had a fun walk over and learned a lot about our community.
A huge thank you to Rosie's Bar and Grill, hosting the special field trip every year.
The Broward County, that's in Florida.
Broward County School Board member Sarah Leonardi said she brought them to this gay bar where it had incredibly graphic things on their menu, images all around.
And so if you have a six, seven, or eight-year-old, you then bring them to gay bars, I guess.
On the menu items were the big girl burgers, the Rhoda Cowboy, the Ivana Hooker, the Helena Bun, the Georgia Blue, the Young Ranch Hand, the Willie Cheesecake.
That is what seven-year-olds, six- and seven-year-olds are being exposed to if you are at an elementary school in Florida.
We have the professor from Rutgers University.
So maybe you are in New Jersey.
Well, you know, Rutgers University is technically, I think, the State University of New Jersey.
Well, if you send if you pay taxes in New Jersey and you send your kids to college, maybe your kid or grandkid is getting into debt.
They have the opportunity to learn from such wonderful scholars such as this one, Play Tape.
I think that white people are committed to being villains in the aggregate, right?
Because they cannot imagine that there is another way to be.
It is either that you dominate or you are dominated.
And isn't it sad that that is spiritually who they are?
The thing I want to say to you is we got to take these motherfuckers out.
That's spiritually who white people are, and we got to take them out.
Is that going to be national news?
I don't think so.
So just to recap in the fastest five minutes of radio in the last five minutes of the show, of this hour, we got a black professor at Rutgers University saying we have to wipe out white people because our souls are dark.
We have Florida Broward County board members bringing young six-year-old children to gay bars with sexually explicit material.
In Kentucky, we have principals getting lap dances from his students at a homecoming event.
Parents, you've got to get out of cruise control, everybody, and get engaged because this is worse than you could imagine.
And if your kids are in public school, they're being exposed to all this stuff.
We'll post this all at charliekirk.com.
The gay bar field trip, the Rutgers professor who wants to have a genocide against white people.
Wipe them all out, she said.
And then the lap dancing of children in Kentucky with a principal.
Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
