=== Supporting America's Future Events (05:01) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey, everybody.
[00:00:01]  I love the smell of victory, and that is what we are enjoying today.
[00:00:04]  But more than just Virginia, we go into shocking upsets in state Senate races in New Jersey, a razor-thin race in New Jersey that develops throughout the course of the recording of this program.
[00:00:14]  We talk about Seattle, New York City.
[00:00:17]  Get ready, everybody.
[00:00:18]  This is one of the most positive, uplifting, and optimistic episodes we have done in recent memory.

[00:00:43]  Now, you might say, Charlie, what is AmericaFest?
[00:00:45]  I've heard and I've seen it all.
[00:00:46]  Well, I'm telling you, this is going to be something unlike you have ever seen before.
[00:00:50]  It is the biggest event of the year where we are going to have speakers that have never all been at the same event together.
[00:00:56]  Wait till you hear these speakers: Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Donald Trump Jr., Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Kaylee McEnany, Jesse Waters, Jim Jordan, Madison Cawthorne, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Jack Pesobic, Benny Johnson, and musical performances from Brantley Gilbert, Russell Dickerson, Adam Doliak, Raylin, Lee Greenwood, and DJ Silver.
[00:01:17]  It is going to be an event unlike anything else.
[00:01:19]  So, people say, Charlie, how do I meet new people?
[00:01:22]  You got to go actually go meet new people.
[00:01:24]  Go to events.
[00:01:25]  Go where places where people actually are.
[00:01:27]  If you people say, Charlie, how do I go meet my future husband or wife?
[00:01:31]  Well, how about you go to a place that shares your values?
[00:01:33]  You're not going to go find that at some sort of dive bar at three o'clock in the morning on a Saturday night.

=== The Virginia Takeback Begins (08:08) ===

[00:05:02]  It is victory day today, everybody.
[00:05:04]  Now, it's not ultimate victory.
[00:05:05]  We got a lot of work left to do, trust me.
[00:05:08]  But yesterday was a historic day.
[00:05:11]  Last night, we started to see the citizen uprising that we knew was happening manifest itself in every single corner imaginable across the country.
[00:05:23]  From Virginia to New Jersey to Seattle to New York City to Pennsylvania.
[00:05:30]  It wasn't just the governor's race in Virginia, which we're going to get into in great detail, that shows citizens being co-rulers and no longer being subjects of their country.
[00:05:41]  But people on television are so surprised.
[00:05:44]  They are, they're shocked, you could say, that their masking children vaccine mandate, their lockdown of the church agenda is somehow widely unpopular.
[00:06:00]  It's as if they weren't looking at the Biden regime's plummeting poll numbers, at the inflation, at the Afghanistan debacle.
[00:06:08]  And for so many people, last night was their first opportunity to finally send a message to the American ruling class.
[00:06:16]  We tried protests.
[00:06:18]  We tried exemption letters.
[00:06:21]  We tried writing our elected officials and pleading with them to stop.
[00:06:27]  We tried reasoning with school boards.
[00:06:30]  We tried starting even a new Twitter back in January before that got obliterated.
[00:06:36]  We tried waiting our turn.
[00:06:38]  But what yesterday was, were people in deep blue states that have had enough.
[00:06:43]  And regardless of political affiliation, regardless of political affiliation, yesterday, what you saw in specifically Virginia and New Jersey, and we'll get into the new Jersey specifics momentarily here because we're not exactly sure how it's going to shake out, but it looks like it's going to be a squeaker for the Democrat barely.
[00:07:01]  What I mean by barely, like 7,000 to 10,000 votes, whereas that Americans are willing to abandon whatever political ideology or jersey that they're supposed to wear for the betterment of their nation and their family and the well-being of their fellow countrymen.
[00:07:20]  What you saw last night was the beginning of the takeback of the country from the people who took it from us.
[00:07:31]  So let's start with Virginia.
[00:07:32]  Last night in Virginia, it was front and center.
[00:07:34]  You had Terry McAuliffe, who is a Clinton operative and was former governor of Virginia from 2013 to 2017.
[00:07:42]  You're not allowed to serve two consecutive terms as Virginia governor.
[00:07:45]  You're term limited just to one term, but you could serve more than one term if you want.
[00:07:49]  Then Governor Ralph Northam served this last term.
[00:07:51]  And so McAuliffe wanted to be governor again.
[00:07:55]  McAuliffe was comfortably in the lead in a deep blue state of Virginia.
[00:07:59]  No one really questioned that McAuliffe was going to be the next governor until all of a sudden, moms and dads at school boards across Loudoun County, Fairfax County, and across Virginia started to create a new political coalition.
[00:08:13]  Started to create a political coalition that was going to challenge the education cartel, challenge Randy Whitegarten from the American Federation of Teachers, challenge the National Education Association.
[00:08:27]  And we saw this race tighten.
[00:08:29]  And Terry McAuliffe, while he was running, decided to say parents have no say over their children's education.
[00:08:37]  That parents have no, let's say, input in how their children are even going to be raised.
[00:08:46]  And when you see Terry McAuliffe, time and time again double and triple down on this, all of a sudden, voters in Virginia, and by the way, Virginia being a high-net worth, high-income state, especially around the suburbs of Washington, D.C., you started to see people abandon their team left Jersey and they say, I might vote for a Republican for the first time in my life.
[00:09:11]  Now, instead of getting the memo or getting the message, Democrats in control, Terry McAuliffe and Obama and Clinton and Kamala Harris, they doubled and tripled down on their Virginia strategy.
[00:09:26]  In addition, we started to see cover-ups from the Loudoun County School of the rapists that went into women's bathrooms and raped young girls multiple times in the cover-up of that.
[00:09:36]  And Terry McAuliffe said explicitly, let's just go to Cut 37, what he said on school choice, I will never allow that as governor.
[00:09:45]  This was Terry McAuliffe's stated position, play cut 37.
[00:09:48]  It is a Donald Trump Betsy DeVos plan of moving money from public to private.
[00:09:54]  I will never allow that as governor.
[00:09:57]  And Terry McAuliffe then said in Cut 38, I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.
[00:10:02]  Play cut 38.
[00:10:03]  That I'm not going to let parents attend to schools and actually take votes out and make their own decision.
[00:10:09]  You vetoed it.
[00:10:10]  So, you stopped the bill that I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.
[00:10:16]  I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.
[00:10:18]  So, how'd that work out for you, Terry McAuliffe?
[00:10:21]  Glenn Young shocked the political world last night and won the Virginia governor's race as a challenger, insurgent Republican.
[00:10:29]  And he won it rather convincingly.
[00:10:31]  As the final vote tally shows, it shows that Glenn Young has defeated Terry McAuliffe by 2.1 points or 71,000 votes.
[00:10:41]  71,000 votes.
[00:10:42]  Virginia was the pressure cooker, everybody, of a woke lash, not a white lash, but a woke lash.
[00:10:50]  A woke lash was a coalition of people together that said, enough of the white fragility, enough of white privilege, enough of hiring airline pilots based on the color of their skin, enough of black-only dormitories, enough of black-only graduation ceremonies.
[00:11:03]  I've had enough.
[00:11:04]  Whoever is against that, that's who I'm for.
[00:11:07]  Even if I might disagree with them on some social policy, I know this is not good for the direction of my children, our country, and our nation.
[00:11:16]  And what you saw all across Virginia is not only did this work in Democrat areas like Loudoun County, where the final count shows that Youngkin only lost Loudoun County by 11 points when Republicans traditionally lose it by 20 to 25 points, is that Glenn Young actually ran up the score in rural Virginia.
[00:11:38]  In Southwest Virginia, Glenn Young actually outperformed Donald Trump in certain areas.
[00:11:42]  In Virginia Beach, he stunned the political world by actually winning parts of Virginia Beach, a traditional Democrat stronghold.
[00:11:49]  And in the Richmond area, Terry McAuliffe did not hit any of his projections that he needed that was necessary for him to become governor of Virginia.
[00:11:58]  Now, despite this, many of us that were watching last night, and many of you on the live stream, we endured a very long evening of nail-biting and anxiety-inducing type coverage because we, what does it say for the American Republic where we are so conditioned to have late night ballot dumps that we are not willing to go to sleep until every network has officially called it, every person has conceded.
[00:12:24]  And that's exactly what happened last night.
[00:12:25]  We didn't go to bed till 3:30, 30, 3:30 in the morning because we had this kind of PTSD from the 2020 election where you think everything's fine and 3 a.m. vote dump.
[00:12:34]  And there was a lot of chatter last night around 1.15 in the morning.
[00:12:38]  I went more like we're at midnight where Republicans were getting very nervous.
[00:12:41]  They said, I think they're going to do their sort of shenanigans or their tomfoolery again.
[00:12:46]  But Youngkin won so convincingly that they were not able to round up what they needed in Fairfax.
[00:12:51]  Young won so convincingly that they were not able to go find ballots in every single direction.
[00:12:57]  And Terry McAuliffe was supposed to waltz in as governor of Virginia.
[00:13:03]  And this is more than just a conservative uprising because it's part of that.
[00:13:07]  It is.
[00:13:07]  The base was fired up last night.

=== Edward Durr Runs the Country (15:17) ===

[00:13:10]  The conservative base was ready to go.
[00:13:13]  This is though that citizens are taking back their government.
[00:13:17]  And for anyone that was cynical or lost hope in the last nine months, I want to tell you that there is life left in our republic.
[00:13:25]  That we got a lot left in us before you preemptively all of a sudden give the eulogy of the downfall of America.
[00:13:32]  We got a lot of life left in us.
[00:13:38]  I want you to imagine 100,000 Americans losing their jobs.
[00:13:43]  Well, you can stop imagining and dreaming because it's a reality.
[00:13:47]  Since 2015, over 100,000 independent farms and ranches in the United States have shut down.
[00:13:52]  Why?
[00:13:53]  Because foreign meat is stealing their business and robbing you of the quality and flavor you deserve.
[00:13:59]  That's why Good Ranchers is here.
[00:14:02]  They exist to support local American farms to help you make great American meals.
[00:14:07]  Together, they want you to restore the American ranch and your meals to their former glory.
[00:14:12]  Get the beef, chicken, and seafood that can't be imported or matched at goodranchers.com.
[00:14:18]  Goodranchers.com does an amazing job, everybody.
[00:14:20]  Did you know the product of USA tag has been stolen by foreign countries?
[00:14:24]  They process their meat here and label it like it came from America.
[00:14:28]  Because of these labeling laws that favor foreign imported meat, over 100,000 independent American farms and ranches have closed since 2015.
[00:14:35]  Well, Good Ranchers has gone on a hunt and they have found the American meat, everybody.
[00:14:40]  Good Ranchers is here to put America first at the dinner table and farmers that work to raise the meat we eat.
[00:14:45]  Look, when we get Good Ranchers sent to the office, it's a fight.
[00:14:48]  It's a fury.
[00:14:49]  It is bedlam.
[00:14:50]  It literally is a controversial moment where people, they dig into their battle stances of who is going to get the T-bones, the fillets.
[00:14:58]  And here's the thing.
[00:14:58]  With goodranchers.com, you get three birds killed with one stone.
[00:15:02]  I never liked the expression because I kind of like birds.
[00:15:04]  So three mosquitoes killed with one SWAT because mosquitoes are no fun, everybody.
[00:15:09]  Mosquitoes are the bottom of the barrel.
[00:15:11]  I never liked to skin a cat either.
[00:15:13]  Who came up with that?
[00:15:13]  There's so many ways to skin a cat.
[00:15:15]  It's kind of a graphic thing.
[00:15:16]  How about this?
[00:15:16]  Three ways to kill a mosquito.
[00:15:18]  One, boom.
[00:15:18]  Everyone listen to this, unless you're fasting indefinitely, needs to eat, or else you're vegan.
[00:15:23]  If you're vegan, I got nothing for you.
[00:15:24]  But if you're non-vegan, number one, this place is for you because you have to eat.
[00:15:29]  Number two, you want to support your country.
[00:15:31]  That's important, right?
[00:15:32]  Number three, you want to support the Charlie Kirk show.
[00:15:33]  So in all seriousness, if you want to support the Charlie Kirk show, support the country and eat, well, then I have a trifecta for you right now.
[00:15:41]  And here's what you got to do.

[00:17:08]  You support America.
[00:17:09]  Support the Charlie Kirk show.
[00:17:10]  Goodranchers.com slash Charlie.
[00:17:17]  There's something happening in the country, everybody.
[00:17:19]  I'm telling you, I love New Jersey.
[00:17:21]  I know a lot of people are always kind of trashing on New Jersey.
[00:17:24]  They have some of the toughest, proudest people in the country.
[00:17:28]  They really do.
[00:17:29]  They love their state and they're very defensive of it.
[00:17:31]  New Jersey was supposed to be a cakewalk.
[00:17:35]  10 points.
[00:17:36]  Murphy is going to waltz to victory.
[00:17:38]  And by the way, if Murphy ever thought him going on television and campaigning was a good idea, he should have pulled a Biden.
[00:17:44]  As soon as I saw him on TV, I got animated to try to make sure he's never in leadership again.
[00:17:49]  He's kind of got that, what did you say?
[00:17:51]  Roger Keaton look?
[00:17:52]  Like Michael Keaton look.
[00:17:54]  Michael Keaton used car salesman better call so hello, everybody.
[00:17:57]  And I am now the governor of New Jersey.
[00:17:59]  Thank you so much.
[00:18:00]  Am I playing my role?
[00:18:01]  Okay.
[00:18:01]  Thanks, Mile.
[00:18:02]  Thanks, Nick.
[00:18:03]  Good to see you.
[00:18:04]  And as a challenger, you have Jack Chitterelli, who just ran a grassroots campaign with almost no help whatsoever from the outside.
[00:18:13]  Zero help whatsoever.
[00:18:15]  And breaking right now, as we are doing this show, Republican Jack Chitterelli has just taken a 700-vote lead in the garden state.
[00:18:26]  None of this was supposed to happen.
[00:18:29]  Phil Murphy is calling up Tony Soprano.
[00:18:32]  He's calling up Don Coralone.
[00:18:34]  He's calling up everyone he possibly can.
[00:18:37]  And look, it's New Jersey.
[00:18:39]  So if you want to talk about shenanigans corner cutting, they perfected that entire thing.
[00:18:46]  I don't say that as an insult to New Jersey.
[00:18:48]  I'm just saying buckle up.
[00:18:51]  That's where a lot of this stuff, unfortunately, is centered.
[00:18:58]  Now, there's still a lot of votes left in Essex County.
[00:19:00]  I'm sure Stacey Abrams is on her way up.
[00:19:03]  But again, they probably, most of these ballots were probably on a ship off of the coast of Long Beach, California, and were never able to make it.
[00:19:13]  This is Pete Buttigieg.
[00:19:16]  If you said, Charlie, who do you think is going to pull it out?
[00:19:19]  I think that Phil Murphy is going to pull a Tony Soprano, and all of a sudden all these votes are going to show in Camden County.
[00:19:26]  But make no mistake, the fact that all of a sudden the next day we have to entertain that a Republican holds the lead, it's shocking.
[00:19:35]  It is a death blow to the Democrat regime.
[00:19:39]  So what we have here in New Jersey is a state of affairs where the Democrats were in such a comfortable position.
[00:19:49]  We're going to do a big windup for a man that needs to become a household name.
[00:19:54]  The real winner last night is the true citizen government.
[00:20:00]  True citizen government is what happened in New Jersey last night.
[00:20:02]  And I can't wait to share this with you.
[00:20:05]  It was just one of the most exciting, beautiful. bottom-up, organic, authentic political victories, I think, in the modern era.
[00:20:18]  Now, who would have thought that forcibly masking children and shutting down schools and having birthday parties at Obama's Martha's Vineyard house while you have to have your children be masked?
[00:20:28]  Whoever thought that would be unpopular?
[00:20:32]  And I also want to talk about election integrity because I think a lot of Republicans are getting this wrong.
[00:20:36]  A lot of Republicans say, oh, see, everything was perfect in Virginia.
[00:20:41]  Therefore, we have to stop talking about election integrity.
[00:20:43]  First of all, I don't think everything was perfect in Virginia.
[00:20:45]  I think we won by so much, we were able to overcompensate all the fair facts and nonsense.
[00:20:50]  But after I introduce you to the new national hero of the true citizen government, the man that we all are, this guy is the Richard Jewel of the 2021 American political story.
[00:21:03]  He's a man that didn't ask to be a hero, but it was deemed upon him because he wanted to do the courageous and epic thing.
[00:21:09]  And as it stands right now, he might actually be poised to unseat the longest serving state senator in New Jersey history, a man who spent $150 and it looks like he might win.
[00:21:22]  Stunning.
[00:21:25]  Every once in a while, a coffee company comes along that changes the way we think about our morning routine.

[00:22:21]  You guys did make news.
[00:22:22]  Those of you in Virginia, New Jersey, New York City, Seattle, we're going to go through all of that.
[00:22:27]  And I just want to encourage all of you that have not given up hope.
[00:22:31]  I know it was easy the last nine months to go into self-pity, turn off the news.
[00:22:35]  You showed up and you shocked the political world last night.
[00:22:39]  So I want to play a couple of clips there.
[00:22:41]  Then I want to introduce you to the new hero that should inspire all of you because people say, Charlie, I live in Oregon.
[00:22:46]  There's nothing I could do.
[00:22:47]  Charlie, I live in Colorado.
[00:22:48]  There's nothing I could do.
[00:22:49]  Charlie, I live in New Mexico.
[00:22:51]  There's nothing I could do.
[00:22:52]  Charlie, I live in New Jersey.
[00:22:53]  Oh, you live in New Jersey?
[00:22:55]  What if I told you a truck driver rejected cynicism and decided to do something?
[00:23:03]  Man, I love this story.
[00:23:05]  But first, I want to just play a little bit of just the collapse.
[00:23:09]  I want to just play a little bit of the video of the collapse of the Democrat regime in real time.
[00:23:14]  I want to go to 56 and 57 in order.
[00:23:17]  Let's play Cut 56, a little bit about the Virginia election results, play cut 56.
[00:23:21]  The House delegates is not going to go Republican.
[00:23:23]  This is a state that has not had a statewide Republican since 2009 when Bob McDonald was governor.
[00:23:28]  At the Senate level, at the gubernatorial level, the state was bright blue yesterday.
[00:23:34]  And now, as of next January, the state's going to be almost entirely in the control of Republicans.
[00:23:39]  And that's, you know, that's a bloodbath.
[00:23:40]  Well, bloodbath in the state that Democrats have dominated, dominated for the past decade.
[00:23:46]  And Republicans have taken control of the Virginia House of Delegates 5149 that no one saw coming.
[00:23:54]  Cut 57, John Carl from ABC says this is a sonic boom of a wake-up call for Democrats, but they won't heed the wake-up call.
[00:24:01]  Instead, you have Pelosi and Schumer say, oh, this is why we need to go spend these trillions of dollars we don't have on programs that are unpopular.
[00:24:09]  Honestly, Democrats, I hope you guys try to implement CRT in every single school district across the country, not because it's good for the country, it's super damaging, but voters hate it so much that it's the greatest political gift to conservatives you could imagine.
[00:24:22]  Play Cut 57.
[00:24:24]  George, this is a sonic boom of a wake-up call for Democrats.
[00:24:30]  Biden won Virginia by 10 points just a year ago.
[00:24:34]  He won New Jersey by 16 points.
[00:24:37]  And the big factor is the one you mentioned.
[00:24:40]  Republicans vastly outperformed in the suburbs.
[00:24:43]  That is precisely where the battle for control of Congress will be waged next year in the midterm election.
[00:24:49]  And so all across the country, you are seeing this trend.
[00:24:56]  But I want to focus in on one story.
[00:24:58]  I want to focus in on a man who decided to take things into his own hands.
[00:25:04]  I want to talk about a race that was not even supposed to be close.
[00:25:11]  I want to talk about a race against the ultimate political machine leader.
[00:25:18]  So there is a man in New Jersey, and I don't expect our national audience to know about this, by the name of Steve Sweeney.
[00:25:26]  Steve Sweeney is the longest-serving leader in New Jersey history, and he was supposed to just waltz to victory.
[00:25:34]  No problem.
[00:25:35]  No one's ever challenged him.
[00:25:37]  Total machine politician.
[00:25:39]  You look at him and you know there's dirty deals being done.
[00:25:42]  But so many of you are being constantly propagandized to not stand up and fight.
[00:25:51]  And I understand it's tempting.
[00:25:53]  So many people are saying, Charlie, I live in Oregon.
[00:25:57]  I live in Colorado.
[00:25:58]  What's the point?
[00:26:00]  Well, Edward Durr, everybody, I want to introduce you to him.
[00:26:03]  Edward Durr is a truck driver.
[00:26:05]  He's never served in political office before.
[00:26:07]  He is the kind of epitome of a boomer conservative.
[00:26:11]  And I don't mean that as a pejorative.
[00:26:13]  I don't mean that as an insult.
[00:26:14]  He just is.
[00:26:15]  You look at, he doesn't have a campaign website.
[00:26:17]  Okay.
[00:26:18]  He ran for office without a campaign website.
[00:26:22]  He spent $150 in his race, $150.
[00:26:28]  And according to the latest tabulation, Edward Durr is up four points.
[00:26:35]  Is that right?
[00:26:36]  He is up four points against the state Senate president, Steve Sweeney.
[00:26:43]  It's becoming national news.
[00:26:45]  But who is Edward Durr?
[00:26:46]  Politico did a story on meet Ed Durr, the candidate who might knock off Steve Sweeney out of the Senate.
[00:26:52]  Who is this guy?
[00:26:53]  Does he come from billions of dollars?
[00:26:55]  Did he invent Facebook?
[00:26:57]  Is he the CEO of Tesla?
[00:26:59]  Did he develop the Chinese coronavirus vaccine?
[00:27:02]  No.
[00:27:03]  Edward Durr is your uncle.
[00:27:06]  Edward Durr is the guy that is part of the muscular class of this country who's had enough.
[00:27:11]  And quite honestly, Edward Durr, 30 years ago, might have been a Democrat.
[00:27:15]  Edward Durr is the type of guy that decided to get off of the sidelines and out of the stands and stop being a spectator.
[00:27:22]  And so, you know what?
[00:27:23]  If I'm going to try to save this country and try to save New Jersey, I might as well do something about it.
[00:27:28]  Edward Durr is exactly what the founding fathers envisioned as a citizen government.
[00:27:33]  This guy spends $150 and he unseats the Senate president of New Jersey.
[00:27:39]  And so this is making the entire New Jersey political world's headspin.
[00:27:44]  He is the embodiment of the muscular class, not the Zoom and Skype class, not the ruling class.
[00:27:50]  Remember, last night was all about the people who run the country and people who make the country run.
[00:27:55]  And if you, you can't think of a better example of that than Edward Durr.
[00:27:59]  He's a truck driver.
[00:28:00]  He makes the country run.
[00:28:03]  He allows products to be delivered.
[00:28:05]  And Edward Durr is the ultimate example of someone that actually didn't think they were going to win.
[00:28:12]  You look at his picture, he has a superimposed American flag behind him.
[00:28:16]  It's as if he just kind of went to kind of one of the photo booths at the local Walgreens, took a campaign picture, and had it superimposed.
[00:28:24]  This guy's a hero.

=== Critical Race Theory Explained (07:10) ===

[00:28:28]  I want to play first his campaign ad.
[00:28:30]  Now, why you say Charlie Woods would play his campaign ad?
[00:28:32]  Because it's so incredibly grassroots.
[00:28:36]  It's inspiring.
[00:28:37]  It's him walking through a cemetery and then walking by a convenience store and then him getting on his motorcycle.
[00:28:44]  And it was probably produced by just kind of a local intern.
[00:28:49]  And he's going to win, it looks like.
[00:28:52]  I mean, Connor, am I reading that correctly?
[00:28:56]  If Edward Durr can do it, you can do it.
[00:28:59]  And how much did Donald Trump lose New Jersey by?
[00:29:02]  I think it was 20 points, right?
[00:29:04]  How much?
[00:29:05]  So I want every single person there just to put a reality check for your own because we got a lot of blue state listeners, a lot.
[00:29:11]  We have a lot of California listeners.
[00:29:12]  We have a lot of Washington listeners.
[00:29:14]  We have a lot of Hawaii listeners.
[00:29:16]  We have a lot of blue state listeners.
[00:29:18]  We have a lot of Massachusetts listeners.
[00:29:21]  Edward Durr is proof that you can do it.
[00:29:26]  All right, let's play his campaign ad, PlayCut 69, and then I want to play his post-election interview.
[00:29:31]  Again, $150.
[00:29:34]  No special effects, no graphics.
[00:29:38]  This is just a dude who wants his country back.
[00:29:41]  Play Cut 69.
[00:29:44]  Hello, my name is Edward Durr.
[00:29:46]  I'm running for New Jersey State Senate.
[00:29:48]  I've lived here all my life, raising my three kids.
[00:29:54]  In 2020, my opponents sat by and watched as Governor Murphy forced nursing homes to take in COVID-19 patients, resulting in the death of over 8,000 of our seniors.
[00:30:06]  He remains silent as Governor Murphy with his lockdown and mandates forced the closing of over one-third of all small businesses, costing New Jersey family thousands of jobs.
[00:30:17]  He has done nothing as seven out of every 10 moves are leaving the state, placing a heavier burden on those of us who remain.
[00:30:27]  The Senate president has spent 20 years in Trenton.
[00:30:31]  Higher taxes, increasing debt, and a rising cost of living.
[00:30:36]  We deserve better.
[00:30:38]  New Jersey, it's time for a change.
[00:30:44]  So together, let's end single party rule.
[00:30:47]  Vote for me, Edward Durr for Senate.
[00:31:04]  I love it.
[00:31:06]  That is uniquely American.
[00:31:09]  No other country could a truck driver just walk through a cemetery and buy a convenience store with a 16-year-old with a kind of a joggling iPhone camera and defeat the New Jersey state Senate president.
[00:31:21]  That is the definition of grassroots, everybody.
[00:31:23]  That is the definition of bottom-up, not top-down.
[00:31:26]  Edward Durr didn't have some sort of super PAC funded by Pfizer come in and fund his campaign.
[00:31:31]  Edward Durr did not have AstraZeneca come in and drop a million dollars in support of his campaign.
[00:31:36]  Edward Durr did not have Facebook come into the Center for Technology and Civic Life and have all these mail-in ballots.
[00:31:42]  No, Edward Durr is exactly what James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton envisioned as citizens taking back their government.
[00:31:50]  Because Edward Durr did not have a father that was a monarch.
[00:31:53]  Edward Durr did not have special connections in Trenton.
[00:31:56]  Edward Durr was not a lobbyist.
[00:31:58]  He wasn't a corporate lawyer.
[00:31:59]  He's a truck driver.
[00:32:01]  Edward Durr decided to run because he said, you know what?
[00:32:03]  I'm just so sick and tired of my beautiful state, New Jersey, being deteriorated by people that hate it.
[00:32:08]  And that's a beautiful thing.
[00:32:10]  Let's play Cut 70 of Edward Durr, who looks like he is going to win.
[00:32:15]  Edward Durr in his post-election interview, Play Cut 70.
[00:32:20]  I have no idea what's going on.
[00:32:22]  I am really trying to grasp all this.
[00:32:26]  It is, I knew it would be a major upset.
[00:32:30]  And the funny thing is, whenever I went around the door to door, everybody, the first words out of their mouth was, Good luck.
[00:32:39]  Like they knew the political power that was being wielded down here.
[00:32:43]  I would get people who sent me $50, sent me $25.
[00:32:46]  They said, listen, I don't like the guy.
[00:32:49]  I want to see you do well.
[00:32:50]  And so I did what I could.
[00:32:53]  You're a Harley Riding Eagles fan who's a truck driver.
[00:32:57]  I mean, we don't have some real people in these state houses.
[00:33:01]  I've said this before.
[00:33:03]  I'm as blue collar as you're ever going to find.
[00:33:06]  The first thing, I love it.
[00:33:07]  I have no idea what's going on.
[00:33:10]  It reminds me of Ricky Bobby.
[00:33:12]  I don't know what to do with my hands.
[00:33:16]  And he's a Harley riding Eagles fan truck driver.
[00:33:20]  Yes, you are what makes this country run.
[00:33:22]  And honestly, Edward Durr, you are far more qualified to run this country than the criminals that have been doing it the last 30 years.
[00:33:29]  If we had more people like Edward Durr sitting in committee meetings using common sense that is accrued by driving trucks and raising a family, he's a grandfather of six and a father of three.
[00:33:38]  I trust you infinitely more to go make decisions on lockdowns and vaccine mandates and mask mandates than some sort of transactional politician Sweeney.
[00:33:47]  Yeah, go like me.
[00:33:48]  No, I want more truck drivers in our government.
[00:33:51]  I want the muscular class to rise up.
[00:33:53]  And honestly, he didn't have to do this.
[00:33:55]  He didn't even think he was going to win.
[00:33:57]  You saw it in that video.
[00:33:58]  I don't know what's going on.
[00:33:59]  I just like it's one.
[00:34:00]  I love it.
[00:34:02]  And everybody listening right now, go.
[00:34:04]  No matter where you are.
[00:34:05]  You're in New York City, go run.
[00:34:06]  You're in Boston, you go run.
[00:34:08]  I do not want to hear again, Charlie, I can't take back the state.
[00:34:10]  Edward Durr is the mascot to retake the country from the ruling class.
[00:34:15]  And honestly, I couldn't think of a better embodiment.
[00:34:19]  A grandfather of six, a father of three, a Harley riding Eagles fan truck driver.
[00:34:24]  That is who makes this country run.
[00:34:26]  Not Pfizer, not AstraZeneca, but instead, Edward Durr.

=== Defunding Police in Seattle (05:04) ===

[00:35:38]  Taking back our government is a beautiful thing.
[00:35:41]  There is life left in us, everybody.
[00:35:42]  Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:35:47]  I want to play some sound here.
[00:35:49]  I want to play, let's go to cut 59.
[00:35:53]  CNN describes how Americans are feeling under Joe Biden, fear, stress, anxiety, frustration.
[00:35:58]  Oh, they're finally getting the memo.
[00:35:59]  Play cut 59.
[00:36:01]  And that feeling that Americans have of fear, stress, anxiety, frustration about all sorts of issues, right?
[00:36:13]  And they might not have the same kind of anxiety about the same issue, but there is this feeling of dread, of discontent of a country that's sort of stalled out and not delivering in the way that Biden promised, that Democrats have promised as well in this last election.
[00:36:34]  Yeah, no kidding, hasn't delivered.
[00:36:36]  Now, one thing that people are focusing on, some people on the right, they say, now this shows that we shouldn't talk about election integrity ever again.
[00:36:44]  I disagree.
[00:36:45]  I think our emphasis on voter integrity put fear into the regime and backed them off to not cut corners again.
[00:36:54]  I think our emphasis on voter integrity actually made it less likely for them to try to do the same sort of shenanigans they did previously.
[00:37:04]  Now, some people are saying, well, Charlie, what about New Jersey?
[00:37:06]  First of all, I don't want to hear anyone talk about New Jersey, you know, cutting corners or doing all these things as Phil Murphy retakes the lead.
[00:37:13]  I think that's what we see.
[00:37:14]  We didn't campaign in New Jersey, okay?
[00:37:16]  Let's be honest with ourselves.
[00:37:18]  If we would have spent millions of dollars and done events and really taken it seriously, I only believe the argument that Kent should be given a platform of voter integrity when we really go all out.
[00:37:32]  When we really go all out, then I say, okay, then we're going to talk about it.
[00:37:36]  But New Jersey, no one was taking that seriously two weeks ago.
[00:37:38]  No one.
[00:37:39]  Maybe a couple people in New Jersey were.
[00:37:41]  I wasn't even taking it seriously.
[00:37:43]  But I also want to thank James O'Keefe for Project Veritas.
[00:37:45]  I think they played a big role in exposing what was happening in New Jersey.
[00:37:49]  It was absolutely terrific.
[00:37:51]  And look, when you look at what's happening in New Jersey, it's going back and forth.
[00:37:56]  Edward Durr, I still think is holding on, though, right?
[00:37:59]  Edward Durr, citizen extraordinaire, is holding on in the great state of New Jersey.
[00:38:04]  But people are saying, oh, Charlie, they're doing what New Jersey does.
[00:38:07]  It's New Jersey.
[00:38:08]  Of course they are.
[00:38:09]  They perfected it.
[00:38:10]  We had no infrastructure there.
[00:38:12]  I don't think the Republican Governors Association spent any money in New Jersey.
[00:38:16]  I don't think that there was any sort of massive effort.
[00:38:20]  And so I'm all for kind of talking about, I'm all for talking about voter integrity.
[00:38:28]  Don't get me wrong.
[00:38:29]  And I want to focus it on New Jersey.
[00:38:30]  If we can figure out what's happening with all these late night vote dumps in Bergen County, I think it's super important and everything.
[00:38:36]  But I think that we can't have that as a default position when we don't actually campaign in some of these states.
[00:38:42]  New Jersey was an afterthought.
[00:38:44]  Now, Virginia is a different story.
[00:38:46]  Now, if in Virginia, we would have saw what we're seeing in New Jersey right now, which is sudden 3 a.m. vote dumps and massive things and all this sorts of different stuff, then it's okay.
[00:38:54]  Hold on, time out.
[00:38:55]  Like, let's see what's really going on there.
[00:38:58]  But I never want it to be an excuse for us not to engage.
[00:39:01]  And I also want to say this, that credit to the MAGA base, it shows that we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
[00:39:07]  It shows that we can be worried about election integrity and that we're still going to show up to elections and not allow that to be kind of this spell of cynicism of I'm never going to vote again.
[00:39:17]  In Virginia, what you saw is that people that were worried about people that were coming into the process, meaning ballots going on every direction, signature verification issues, all this stuff.
[00:39:26]  But still, people showed up.
[00:39:27]  They said, hey, if we win by so much, they're not going to be able to cut the corners.
[00:39:34]  And Ron Meyer came on our program last evening, former Loudoun County supervisor, and he said that Republicans had precinct committeemen everywhere in Virginia last night looking at the ballot counting, looking at what was happening.
[00:39:46]  And that was an outgrowth, by the way, of all of our concern from the 2020 election.
[00:39:51]  And so here's what I'm saying: the balance needs to be struck.
[00:39:54]  We can never stop talking about election integrity, voter ID, ballot custody, signature verification issues.
[00:40:00]  But you have to reject anyone in circles that ever says, Charlie, what's the point of voting again?
[00:40:04]  Virginia is the point of ever voting again.
[00:40:06]  Edward Durr is the point of ever voting again.
[00:40:09]  And honestly, I want to thank all of you that entertained those thoughts and you rejected them.
[00:40:13]  Good for you.
[00:40:14]  Because I know it's tempting.
[00:40:15]  I know after the 2020 election, where it seemed like everything was going so well and it collapsed all around us, you're like, oh, what's the point?
[00:40:22]  The point is you can take back your government.
[00:40:24]  Things can make a difference.
[00:40:25]  The point is that Harley Davidson riding Eagles fan wearing truck driving middle class, muscular class grandfather of six and father of three normal people in South Jersey, they can make a big difference.
[00:40:39]  Everyone, what's happening in our country is amazing.
[00:40:42]  Let's talk about Pennsylvania for a second.

=== Protecting Voter Integrity Now (15:34) ===

[00:40:43]  In Pennsylvania's Supreme Court race, conservatives held on to retiring Republic Justice Thomas Saylor's seat.
[00:40:51]  Republican Commonwealth Court Judge Kevin Brobsom defeated Democrat Superior Court Judge Maria McLaughlin by more than 100,000 votes, a massive judicial victory.
[00:41:03]  Democrats still outnumber Republicans in the state highest court, but in Pennsylvania court judge election, Republican Megan Sullivan defeated Democrat Lane Timka by nearly 300,000 votes.
[00:41:17]  And Pennsylvanians also voted in roughly a two-to-one margin to retain both Republican Superior Court judges John Bender and Mary Bose and Republican Commonwealth Court Judge Ann Covey and Renee Jublier.
[00:41:32]  Now, how about New York City?
[00:41:34]  Republicans won four New York City state city council seats.
[00:41:39]  That's right.
[00:41:40]  Republicans won city council seats in New York City City Council races.
[00:41:45]  New York, Republicans won four contested city council races in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island and have a shot of a fifth potential upset seat.
[00:41:54]  With 87% of the vote in, Vernikov, a 37-year-old lawyer and Ukrainian native, garnered 10,768 votes or 65% of the vote.
[00:42:05]  She will succeed ex-councilman Chaim Deutsch, who forfeited his seat earlier this year when he is convicted of tax fraud.
[00:42:13]  The district includes many Russian-speaking and Jewish immigrants.
[00:42:17]  I'm reading from the New YorkPost.com in the communities of Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, Sheepshead Bay, and Homecrest.
[00:42:23]  Vernikov ran as an unabashed supporter of Donald Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. endorsed her in robot calls to voters, and she won.
[00:42:31]  She said, Quote, I'm very excited.
[00:42:33]  This election victory shows that people are fed up with the progressive policies that have destroyed our city and district in New York City, everybody.
[00:42:40]  That's right.
[00:42:40]  New York City.
[00:42:42]  Meet another one.
[00:42:44]  Meanwhile, Joanne Areola, she won in the 32nd district.
[00:42:50]  She's a Queens Republican leader and Howard Beach civic activist, and she trounced a left-wing Democrat progressive Felicia Singh in New York City.
[00:42:59]  How about another win?
[00:43:01]  In Staten Island, Republican David Carr defeated Democrat Sal Albanes, a former Brooklyn city councilman, and how about one more in New York City.
[00:43:11]  A Republican pulled off a huge upset in northeastern Queens.
[00:43:15]  Everybody, this woke lash goes from Seattle to New York City to Virginia to New Jersey to Pennsylvania.
[00:43:26]  This woman by the name of Vicki Paul Donino or Paladino, she won and defeated Tony Avella, Democratic city councilman, with 99% of the votes in.
[00:43:40]  Palladino shocked the New York political world with over 50% of the vote.
[00:43:47]  And city councilman Tony Avella, who's very powerful, has been defeated.
[00:43:52]  This red wave has gone all the way to Manhattan, everybody, in city and local elections.
[00:43:59]  So, how are Democrats nationally responding to this?
[00:44:02]  How about this?
[00:44:02]  Cut 58.
[00:44:03]  Andrea Mitchell decides to just say something that is so incredibly new and profound.
[00:44:07]  She says, hey, you know, the defund police messaging, I don't know if that's working.
[00:44:12]  Cut 58.
[00:44:14]  Well, the outcome in Minneapolis also reflects what Jim Clyburn warned back during 2020, that message about police and whether you call it defunding or reforming or becoming a public health safety department.
[00:44:29]  That doesn't work with voters.
[00:44:30]  Not in urban areas and probably not in other areas.
[00:44:34]  Yeah, I mean, the defund police movement, probably not a good idea.
[00:44:39]  Seattle City Attorney, everybody, Seattle.
[00:44:42]  I was just in the Emerald City.
[00:44:43]  That place is nuts.
[00:44:44]  But there's a remnant of great people in King County, all across that area, that are wanting their city back.
[00:44:51]  They want the safe, normal, reliable Scandinavian outpost in the Northwest part of the country, not run by radicals.
[00:45:00]  And as it stands right now, Republican, Republican, Republican Ann Davison is clobbering Nicole Thomas Kennedy for the race for the Seattle City Attorney.
[00:45:17]  Massive law and order.
[00:45:19]  This is for the Seattle City Attorney.
[00:45:22]  You know, after the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, defund the police.
[00:45:26]  Even in Seattle, in Wokestan, Seattle, people that got their ballot, they might have gone all Democrats.
[00:45:32]  And they're like, okay, I don't want my kid to get shot on the way to school.
[00:45:36]  Where's the Republican?
[00:45:37]  You know what this tells me about Seattle is that even Democrats know that when they want to be safe, they'll go to Republicans.
[00:45:47]  What this tells me right here with the Seattle City Attorney race, Ann Davis and 58.7%, Nicole Thomas Kennedy, in the Seattle City attorney race, a Republican is on pace to win by double digits in the Seattle City attorney race.
[00:46:01]  In Seattle, everybody.
[00:46:04]  How about in Minneapolis?
[00:46:06]  Well, last night, Minneapolis overwhelmingly rejected measures to replace the city police department, overwhelmingly decided to push back on calls to, quote, defund the police.
[00:46:20]  In Minneapolis and Seattle, the two Scandinavian cities that were going in the wrong direction reversed course last night.
[00:46:27]  And even they said, hold on a second.
[00:46:29]  What does this actually do to our city?
[00:46:31]  I don't know if I like this.
[00:46:34]  How about in San Antonio, in South Texas?
[00:46:38]  John Lujan flipped House District 118 in Texas special election runoff, winning by two points.
[00:46:46]  This is a Joe Biden plus 14 district in San Antonio that is 73% Hispanic.
[00:46:56]  73% Hispanic.
[00:47:00]  And so Democrats are trying to process all of this.
[00:47:03]  We're cut 60, David Axelrod says Democrats have no connection with blue-collar Americans.
[00:47:08]  You mean like Mr. Durr?
[00:47:10]  You're right.
[00:47:10]  Cut 60.
[00:47:12]  And in the Democratic Party, the messages tend to be moralizing.
[00:47:18]  We are going to tell you.
[00:47:19]  We will tell you what is right.
[00:47:22]  And no connection to people who work with their hands, people who work with their backs, rural voters.
[00:47:30]  So that's part of the problem.
[00:47:32]  David Axarod makes the point that we've been making on this show for a year and a half.
[00:47:37]  The Ed Der types, the muscular types, muscular class types, the guys that lift boxes and have to wear a mask all day long and have to be yelled at by the elites when Nancy Pelosi has her outdoor fundraiser for the Democrat House committee.
[00:47:51]  And meanwhile, every single person that waits on her has to wear a mask and she can snap her fingers and be served on at a moment's notice.
[00:47:57]  Yeah, those people, they're now becoming Republicans.
[00:48:01]  Republicans have an opportunity to build a governing coalition of 60 to 70% of the country of people that love the Constitution, that are members of the muscular class, that want to be citizens, not subjects.
[00:48:11]  And it's happening everywhere.
[00:48:12]  It'd be one thing if this was just an isolated incident, okay?
[00:48:15]  Let me tell you how profound this is.
[00:48:17]  I did not expect what I'm seeing right now.
[00:48:19]  I didn't.
[00:48:20]  I thought that it would be Virginia and a little bit of a ripple and the Democrats could explain this away.
[00:48:25]  I did not think on November 3rd, 2021, I'd be telling you that in Seattle, a Republican is winning by 17 points to become the new city attorney.
[00:48:35]  What this shows is that the reaction since Floyda Palooza and all the nonsense that happened in the CRT, $3 billion of damages burning down our country, how it has made America more profoundly dangerous, is that regardless of political affiliation of ideology, regardless of their views on abortion and their views on vaccines, that people don't want to have to worry about whether or not their five-year-old is going to get shot on the way to school.
[00:49:01]  That transcends political ideology.
[00:49:03]  It's the old George Foreman thing.
[00:49:05]  And I'll kind of rephrase it from modern politics.
[00:49:07]  Everyone's a Democrat till your daughter gets raped in the restroom.
[00:49:13]  I've been telling you guys about Relief Factor for quite some time.
[00:49:15]  And truth is, I know millions of people are, in fact, 100 million people are in some kind of pain.
[00:49:20]  Look, producer Andrew, he couldn't walk.
[00:49:21]  He was a hobbled individual.
[00:49:23]  He was bedridden in his chair, complaining all the time.
[00:49:28]  And then all of a sudden, we got this call from Relief Factor.
[00:49:30]  They said, hey, we want to partner with your show.
[00:49:32]  We're going to send you some Relief Factor.
[00:49:33]  Producer Andrew got it.
[00:49:35]  He took it, got a little bit better, took some more, got a little bit better.
[00:49:38]  Next thing you know, he's doing the Falseberry flop like you wouldn't believe.
[00:49:41]  In fact, he might be training for an Iron Man.
[00:49:45]  It's pretty incredible.
[00:49:46]  Now, he says it's thanks to Relief Factor.
[00:49:48]  I ask him all the time, Relief Factor?
[00:49:50]  He says relief factor.com, 100% drug-free supplement.
[00:49:52]  You can get it for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day.
[00:49:55]  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.
[00:50:00]  And then after that, it's less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day to stay out of pain.
[00:50:03]  So go to relieffactor.com.
[00:50:05]  That is relieffactor.com.
[00:50:07]  I'm telling you, a lot of people are in pain.
[00:50:08]  It's 100% drug-free.
[00:50:09]  Don't go to opioids.
[00:50:11]  Don't go to these other things.
[00:50:12]  Check it out at relieffactor.com.
[00:50:17]  Okay, I want to go into some of the other races that we kind of have touched on a little bit.
[00:50:23]  And okay, let me get the quote right.
[00:50:24]  Okay, first, Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they're smacked in the face.
[00:50:29]  I have now, let's say, modernized it by saying everyone is a Democrat till your daughter gets raped by some trans person in the restroom.
[00:50:37]  I think that is the more modern side of it.
[00:50:39]  By the way, just as a side note, the mom of the skirt-wearing male teen of what happened in Loudoun County, Virginia, who raped two female girls, says son identifies as a male and just wanted sex as she berates the victim, saying to the young girl that was raped, you're 15, you can reasonably defend yourself.
[00:50:58]  That's where Loudoun County messed up the entire state of Virginia.
[00:51:02]  What we're going to explore in the next segment with James Lindsay, who is the author of Cynical Theories, I think he deserves so much credit for this, is that this whole thing, really, the underlying premise of what happened in New Jersey from Seattle to New York City is kind of America's reaction post-Floyd.
[00:51:21]  Part of it was vaccine mandates, part of it was mask mandates, but a lot of it was that racial reckoning that was just thrown down our throat.
[00:51:30]  That was just kind of forced down our throat, I should say.
[00:51:32]  And it was done so aggressively and abrasively and abruptly that the 2020 election with Trump was not a good reading on kind of how America thought about that.
[00:51:43]  This is now where all of a sudden that we've kind of had a chance to digest the meal of CRT and we want it gone.
[00:51:48]  We're like, I don't like this at all.
[00:51:50]  I don't like what it's doing to our children.
[00:51:52]  I don't like what it's doing to crime.
[00:51:53]  I don't like what it's doing to our streets.
[00:51:57]  Let's go to more sound here.
[00:52:00]  Van Jones on the Youngkin win in Virginia says, these are our voters.
[00:52:04]  We have abandoned, who have abandoned us in droves in two states that should be in our column.
[00:52:08]  This is a five-alarm fire.
[00:52:10]  Play cut 66.
[00:52:13]  This is a big deal.
[00:52:16]  These numbers are bad.
[00:52:18]  This is not some, these are our voters.
[00:52:23]  These are voters that came to us in 2018, came to us in 2020, and have abandoned us in droves in two states that should be in our column.
[00:52:33]  That's a big deal.
[00:52:36]  That is a five-alarm fire.
[00:52:40]  Your voters?
[00:52:41]  What arrogance?
[00:52:42]  These are our people.
[00:52:43]  Break.
[00:52:45]  Joe Scarborough piled on.
[00:52:46]  He said the Democrat Party needs to come to face with the issue of wokeism.
[00:52:50]  But here's the thing, is that since Republicans, and I will give Tucker Carlson great credit for this, I will give Candace Owens great credit for this.
[00:52:57]  I will give the Charlie Kirk Show team great credit for this.
[00:53:00]  I will give Turning Point USA credit for this and many others.
[00:53:03]  Since we had a zero tolerance policy for wokeism, the virus of wokeism has found a, let's just say, a reasonable place to fester and grow.
[00:53:16]  The virus is within the Democrat Party, and they know they can't get rid of it.
[00:53:21]  As soon as you make everything about racial identity politics within one organism, organization, or structure, it will win.
[00:53:27]  Wokeism will win because it's no rules except whoever the most oppressed is.
[00:53:31]  We as conservatives dismissed it.
[00:53:33]  We inoculated ourselves and we got rid of wokeism.
[00:53:36]  Therefore, it is the home of wokeisms in the Democrat Party.
[00:53:40]  Joe Scarborough is realizing this.
[00:53:42]  Play cut 76.
[00:53:45]  2009 Bobs for Jobs.
[00:53:46]  Right.
[00:53:46]  It's the same thing.
[00:53:47]  It's the same thing.
[00:53:48]  Here you have a lot of people saying that.
[00:53:50]  And we need to talk about this around the table a good bit because the Democrats are going to have to come face to face with this issue of wokeism.
[00:53:58]  They don't have to talk.
[00:53:59]  Not CRT, but wokeism.
[00:54:01]  Oh, yeah, not CRT, right, Joe, because CRT doesn't exist.
[00:54:05]  I don't think this is going to get better for Democrats anytime soon.
[00:54:07]  Wokeism is now within the internal operating system of the Democrat Party.
[00:54:12]  It's within their language, within their leadership structure, and how they organize themselves.
[00:54:17]  That virus is there to stay within the Democrat Party.
[00:54:20]  And it looks like it's weakening them every day.
[00:54:24]  Internet privacy is extremely important.
[00:54:27]  New news out shows that Google has been colluding with the federal government to hand over your data if you might have searched something wrong into the search bar.
[00:54:38]  So what are you doing to protect your search history?
[00:54:41]  Well, this is why you need Express VPN.
[00:54:43]  Using the internet without Express VPN is like going to the bathroom and not closing the door.
[00:54:49]  It's in fact even worse than that.
[00:54:51]  It's inviting someone to the bathroom, which is really weird and creepy.
[00:54:53]  Internet service providers know every single website you visit.
[00:54:57]  ISPs can sell this data and information to ad companies and tech giants who then use your data to target you.
[00:55:05]  ExpressVPN creates a secure encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet.
[00:55:11]  So your online activity cannot be seen by anyone.
[00:55:14]  It's as easy as closing the bathroom door and fire up the app and click one button.

[00:55:21]  I have those beautiful three letters with a rectangle around it.
[00:55:25]  It's rated number one by CNET and tech radar.
[00:55:29]  Here's the cool thing: it works on phones, laptops, and even routers.

[00:55:36]  Here's the thing: I have it on my iPhone.
[00:55:38]  I have it on my iPad.
[00:55:40]  I have it on my computer.
[00:55:41]  ExpressVPN for me has been a game changer to be able to know that the tech companies or the government have to go through a whole nother barrier to try to spy on us.
[00:55:53]  When we see with the new announcements out of DC, if you spoke at a school board meeting lately, you better get a VPN.

=== Noble Gold Investments for Alabama (09:37) ===

[00:56:17]  James, can you hear me?
[00:56:20]  Yeah, I can hear you, Charlie.
[00:56:22]  So, James, we are told CRT does not exist.
[00:56:26]  This was a huge political talking point last evening in Virginia and New Jersey.
[00:56:32]  Where does this come from, James?
[00:56:33]  You are the leader and you deserve credit for leaning the enlightenment against the woke.
[00:56:38]  Where do they get off for saying something like this over?
[00:56:42]  Well, they get off saying that because the propagandists are out in force because they want to hide the fact that not only does critical race theory exist, it exists in our schools.
[00:56:52]  It has been being taught in our schools for a number of years.
[00:56:55]  I was, in fact, just reading a book yesterday on a flight that's called The Critical Turn in Education that's structured around three main changes that made our education system in the United States Marxist since 1970.
[00:57:07]  And the third of the three main changes in education they list is critical race theory.
[00:57:11]  So, this is the propagandists are out in force because they don't want people to know that this is really happening.
[00:57:17]  Well, and so, and so, James, this is something that we've seen impact every single form of American society in every single fashion.
[00:57:24]  And so, James, you have come strong against the woke.
[00:57:27]  And I think what we saw yesterday is woke lash.
[00:57:31]  I want to play some sound here that I think is really important because some people are still denying that any of this stuff even exists.
[00:57:42]  And they are not taking the cue in any way whatsoever on this.
[00:57:47]  Kaylee McEniny did this quite well on Fox News last evening.
[00:57:51]  Let's try to play Cut 73.
[00:57:53]  Well, I think there's no evidence that critical race theory is being taught in the schools of the United States.
[00:57:58]  Juan, there's a ton of evidence.
[00:57:59]  But I do think Juan, have you done the Virginia Department of Education's website?
[00:58:04]  Let's find out there.
[00:58:06]  Virginia Department of Education on their website right now showing CRT is currently there as a best practice.
[00:58:13]  That is on the website Juan, not to mention a 2019 memo that went out, also praising critical race theory.
[00:58:19]  We have a picture of that too.
[00:58:20]  It is being taught.
[00:58:21]  And that's 72% of Americans, they're not crazy.
[00:58:25]  So, James, they are insisting that this does not exist.
[00:58:28]  They're telling parents they don't have a say in education.
[00:58:31]  You've been tracking this for quite some time.
[00:58:33]  Talk about how you've been seeing the backlash against this that has now manifested into a woke lash.
[00:58:39]  Okay, so first, let me just say, Kaylee was exactly right.
[00:58:43]  The Ed Equity Virginia program is written through with critical race theory.
[00:58:47]  Lists authors, people like Ibram Kendi, who people have heard of as a critical race theorist, Bettina Love, who argued that not teaching critical race theory spirit murders children of color in schools, and Gloria Ladsden Billings, who wrote the first paper called Toward a Critical Race Theory of Education in 1995.
[00:59:06]  So it's certainly there.
[00:59:08]  Even the Fairfax County Commissioner of Schools or something high in their school district recently said that they teach it.
[00:59:14]  Now, as far as the woke lash, as we're saying, goes, what's happened is that people have cottoned on to this.
[00:59:21]  They do not like the fact that there's this very divisive racist and Marxist indoctrination and reprogramming of our children happening in schools, happening in corporate HR departments, happening in universities, happening in institutions.
[00:59:35]  They don't like it.
[00:59:36]  And they've started to speak up.
[00:59:37]  But critical race theory interprets any resistance against critical race theory as proof that critical race theory is necessary.
[00:59:45]  And it predicts that there will be this kind of backlash.
[00:59:47]  What they are not prepared for, though, is to actually deal with the backlash because all we're seeing them do today is call everybody in the world a racist to say everything supports white supremacy, that Glenn Young ran on a platform of racism and white supremacy.
[01:00:02]  It's all preposterous propaganda because they don't have the argument on their side.
[01:00:05]  They've been lying to us for years.
[01:00:09]  Yeah, that's very well said.
[01:00:10]  And so as we dive into the details of all this, it looks like education is the number one issue.
[01:00:17]  And I think, I mean, you've done such a wonderful job of articulating this.
[01:00:21]  Now, Joy Reed in Cut 68 says that, quote, exit poll showed that coronavirus was not important to voters in Virginia.
[01:00:29]  It was education.
[01:00:30]  So, James, after this clip, I want you just to take it as soon as you hear, as soon as it's over, it's 34 seconds.
[01:00:36]  She says that this is code for white parents that don't like the idea of teaching about race.
[01:00:41]  James, I'll let you riff right after this play cut 68.
[01:00:45]  And the exit poll showed that, which was interesting, that the coronavirus or that the virus was a very low-size-to-many voter.
[01:00:53]  It was education, which is code for white parents don't like the idea of teaching about race.
[01:00:59]  And I mean, unfortunately, race is just the most palpable tool in the toolkit.
[01:01:05]  It used to be of the Democratic Party back in the day when there were Dixiecrats, and now of the Republican Party.
[01:01:09]  It just is powerful.
[01:01:11]  You know, that is exactly what we were just talking about.
[01:01:13]  The propagandists are out in force.
[01:01:16]  This is the critical race theory.
[01:01:18]  When it gets kicked on its heels, this is what it does: it says that everything that opposes it is just another manifestation of white supremacy here.
[01:01:24]  It uses very divisive race-baiting tactics, like saying that white parents don't want to have race education in the schools, and it becomes a white, black, or white minority racial issue so that it can be polarized around people's identities rather than to stick to the issues because they know that identities are very sensitive to people, they're very personal to people, and that when you get people operating in an identity-based frame, they don't want to talk about the issues rationally.
[01:01:53]  They talk about them in a way that's personal and emotional and effective.
[01:01:57]  And they know that this works, and that's why they're doing it.
[01:02:00]  But the joke's on them because the spell has broken.
[01:02:04]  Yeah, that's really well said.
[01:02:06]  I want to play another clip here.
[01:02:07]  I'm playing these clips just to understand.
[01:02:09]  So, James Lindsay wrote Cynical Theories, Everybody, which was the philosophical rebuttal to critical race theory, and he was ahead of the curve here.
[01:02:17]  And part of why I wanted to have you on the show, James, is that people say politics flows downstream from culture.
[01:02:22]  James was involved in the cultural battles early, and he was willing to do the political side too.
[01:02:27]  And James actually would consider himself a liberal.
[01:02:30]  That's not even what's important.
[01:02:31]  What's important is building a coalition against wokeism, which you've done such a great job of doing, James.
[01:02:36]  And I just wanted to make sure that our audience knew how important of a role you've played in this.
[01:02:42]  Let's cut play cut 51, and you can respond to this, James, as well.
[01:02:45]  Again, it's the same sort of thing, but it's important because people are hearing about this play cut 51.
[01:02:51]  I mean, he worshipped at the altar of Donald Trump on Fox News.
[01:02:54]  He flew an insurrection flag at his rallies.
[01:02:57]  He simply didn't, he played dumb about a Zoom rally.
[01:03:02]  He did not really put much distance between himself and Donald Trump on the big lie or the deadly insurrection.
[01:03:09]  Critical race theory, which isn't real, turned the suburbs 15 points to the Trump insurrection-endorsed Republican.
[01:03:21]  What do Democrats do about that?
[01:03:23]  So it's tempting to call what we just heard crazy or insane, but it is in fact very calculated propaganda that works on its target audience, which are the liberal viewing audience watching that.
[01:03:36]  And this is why what you just said before the clip, Charlie, is exactly right.
[01:03:40]  We need a broad coalition against wokeness, which is a very narrow way to care about issues like social justice.
[01:03:46]  That's something you care about.
[01:03:48]  It's one very specific way.
[01:03:49]  It's very divisive.
[01:03:50]  And you can hear in that clip what it does.
[01:03:53]  A, it uses very polarizing, divisive, narrative-driven ideas, insurrection to describe a thing, you know, no nuance whatsoever, just the most blazing thing that you could possibly say to get people worked up and afraid, tying everything to Trump to polarize around Trump.
[01:04:10]  They did this very effectively to the entire polity over the past five years.
[01:04:15]  And it's about time for it to stop.
[01:04:16]  But most importantly, critical race theory does not exist.
[01:04:19]  They also lie.
[01:04:20]  If you have somebody pushing a political movement that will brazenly lie about a theory that has been being developed, depending on which theorist you ask, since the early 1970s, maybe even from 1903 with W.E.B. Du Bois' views in The Souls of Black Folk about double consciousness, but certainly that was named in 1989 by Kimberly Crenshaw at a meeting she described in Madison, Wisconsin as being a bunch of Marxists meeting to talk about racial justice.
[01:04:46]  If you're going to say that that doesn't exist when it is a gigantic body of scholarship with many, many, many books, to say nothing of articles published about it, then you know that you're dealing with a political movement that is doing something very off-kilter.
[01:05:01]  It's lying to people.
[01:05:02]  It's gaslighting people and it's doing so in a very dangerous way.
[01:05:06]  So I just want to bring it back to what you said before the clip.
[01:05:08]  What we need is a broad coalition.
[01:05:10]  It's not liberal, it's not conservative.
[01:05:12]  It's not white.
[01:05:12]  It's not black.
[01:05:13]  It's not male.
[01:05:14]  It's not female.
[01:05:14]  It's a broad coalition led by parents, most of all, who realize that wokeness is a danger to their children, a danger to our future, a danger to our country, a danger to Western civilization.
[01:05:27]  And I think yesterday we started to see a repudiation of wokeism and a rebuttal to it and that broad-based coalition that comes at it from a lot of different political perspectives and understands that there are some fruits of the Enlightenment that are necessary to preserve, like freedom of speech, dialogue inquiry, the scientific method, respect of human dignity, human equality, you know, basic American traits and virtues and values that are under attack from forces that are pathological, ideological, and will not stop at anything.

=== Teaching True American History (02:15) ===

[01:05:55]  And so, James, I just want to thank you for your contribution and service in all this because yesterday, I think, was an affirmation of a lot of the work that you've put into.
[01:06:04]  I know that at times you could be attacked from every single direction and, you know, it could be difficult.
[01:06:08]  But for people listening, you have to understand yesterday, when people started to get educated about CRT, understand where it came from.
[01:06:14]  There's a couple people that deserve credit.
[01:06:16]  And James Lindsay's on the Mount Rushmore of the metaphorical, let's say, slaying of the woke dragons.
[01:06:25]  James Lindsay is a hero in my book.
[01:06:29]  Now, not everyone's interested in precious metals, IRAs, or 401k rollovers.
[01:06:33]  Some people are happily putting their life savings on the stock market.
[01:06:36]  Some people are launching themselves into property investment.
[01:06:39]  Charlie Kirk here, all that what looks like the top of the market.
[01:06:42]  What could possibly go wrong with the supply chain issues and inflation is here and also coming even more, unemployment climbing.
[01:06:49]  Isn't it all a bit risky?
[01:06:50]  And don't even get started about the $25 trillion of debt.
[01:06:54]  If you've been thinking about investing safer, you can retire comfortably and sleep at night.
[01:06:58]  It's time to talk to Noble Gold about the tax advantages and other pluses of precious metal IRAs.
[01:07:04]  Of course, you might love uncertainty, but if you don't, this month, Noble Gold are giving away a free America, the beautiful solid silver five-ounce coin with any qualifying IRA you start.

[01:07:33]  Now, don't take your eye off this story, everybody.
[01:07:37]  Rochelle Walensky has just announced that Pfizer's Fauci virus vaccine will be available for all kids 5 through 11 injections starting tomorrow.
[01:07:48]  So we are going to, we're going to cover that extensively tomorrow.
[01:07:52]  We're back at mission control, aren't we, tomorrow?
[01:07:54]  Tonight, we're at the University of Alabama, everybody.
[01:07:57]  Roll tide.
[01:07:57]  Okay, I know everyone from Auburn is going to scream at me.
[01:08:01]  But in other news, Alabama is according, I think that Alabama was in the latest announcement of the college football playoff.

=== Understanding the Woke Clash (02:38) ===

[01:08:10]  Is that right?
[01:08:12]  Oregon was number four, which is a beautiful thing to see.
[01:08:14]  It really was spectacular.
[01:08:16]  Email us your thoughts, as always: freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[01:08:21]  Ron Klain retweeted this weird thing saying that we're going to have vaccine hunter groups.
[01:08:26]  Really strange.
[01:08:27]  I don't want to spend too much time on that story today.
[01:08:29]  We got all tomorrow to unpack that because there's just so much good news there.
[01:08:32]  But I'm just telling all of you, don't take your eyes off of that story.
[01:08:37]  Do not take your eyes off of that story.
[01:08:40]  Okay, let's go to some sound here.
[01:08:44]  I want to just play another piece of sound.
[01:08:46]  We had James Lindsay, who's amazing.
[01:08:47]  I really enjoyed him.
[01:08:48]  There was one piece of sound I wanted to play, though, that we didn't play, which is, yeah, Cut 47, which is CNN on election night freaking out that voters are showing up because of the CRT issue.
[01:08:57]  Cut 47.
[01:08:59]  Glenn Young has seized on those issues as well as the idea about teaching critical race theory, which is not even in the curriculum officially in Virginia, but there are some voters here in Loudoun County who believe it's kind of unofficially being taught and they like Junckin's message on that, Jake.
[01:09:14]  Education is the number one issue.
[01:09:17]  Education is what flipped Virginia.
[01:09:19]  Well, American history and civics education is at a turning point.
[01:09:23]  And will we allow unelected bureaucrats and lobbyists to choose what school children are taught?
[01:09:28]  Or will we teach the entire truth?
[01:09:31]  My very good friends at Hillsdale College argue for teaching the truth and they have made the Hillsdale 1776 curriculum.
[01:09:38]  You say, Charlie, I'm inspired.
[01:09:40]  I want to teach my children the true history of America.

=== Retaking Our Nation Together (02:17) ===

[01:10:49]  Charlie4Hillsdale.com.
[01:10:53]  So let's summarize all this together, everybody.
[01:10:56]  What happened yesterday?
[01:10:58]  What's still happening right now?
[01:10:59]  It was a pressure cooker.
[01:11:01]  People tried protests.
[01:11:02]  They tried exemption letters.
[01:11:04]  They tried writing their officials.
[01:11:06]  They tried reasoning with school boards.
[01:11:07]  They tried starting a new Twitter called Parlor.
[01:11:10]  They tried waiting their turn.
[01:11:12]  And instead, what you saw was Americans that did everything they were told and they said, find me a ballot.
[01:11:18]  I need to fill it out and I need to challenge the American ruling class.
[01:11:21]  And that is what happened yesterday.
[01:11:23]  From Ed Burr, seems like he's going to unseat the New Jersey Senate president to the shockingly close race in New Jersey where Murphy has now retaken the lead, from the repudiation of Clintonism and Obamaism in Virginia.
[01:11:37]  This was a woke clash.
[01:11:39]  But more than that, we have to understand this is not just what people were against.
[01:11:42]  It's what people were for.
[01:11:44]  It's parents reasserting their role to say that they're in charge.
[01:11:49]  It's parents no longer being spectators and watching from afar and being timid and letting other people bully and intimidate their children.
[01:11:57]  From the city attorneys race in Seattle to the New York City City Council race of electing Republicans to what we are seeing to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court races all across the country with people that have never met each other before, thousands of miles apart.
[01:12:11]  They're all saying the same thing.
[01:12:13]  Slow down.
[01:12:14]  We don't want this anymore.
[01:12:16]  We want the American way of life and we're willing to actually contest for it.
[01:12:23]  This is the beginning, everybody.
[01:12:26]  A journey starts with a single step and the journey of retaking our country.
[01:12:30]  I'm finally starting to see a new chapter of Americans starting to fight.
[01:12:35]  We are seeing Senate races that were leaning Democrat now be classified as toss-up races.
[01:12:40]  This is all heading in that direction.
[01:12:43]  And it all started in the last 24 hours.
[01:12:48]  Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
