Jew-Free Zones and Discrimination 00:14:22
Hey, everybody.
Happy Monday.
I take your questions.
Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
Jew-free zones.
No whites allowed.
Also, what happens when the vaccine gives you Bell's palsy and you say you would do it all over again?
A phenomenon that is very hard to explain.
We try our best.

Email me your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
Buckle up, everybody, here.
We go.
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
I want to thank Charlie.
He's an incredible guy.
His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
That's why we are here.
Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
Peter from Berkeley, California.
Charlie, have you seen the latest news out of Berkeley when I thought it couldn't get more insane?
Here it is.
I'm a Christian conservative and I have to exist in the shadows here.
Please shine a light on the treachery and the demonic activity, strong wording, in Berkeley, California.
So I'm not exactly sure which part of this he's talking about.
I would imagine, though, he's talking about the anti-white racism that exists at UC Berkeley.
When I'm talking to people that I call normies, we use that term sometimes, normie as a term to describe someone who is not exactly enlightened on all these topics.
I will commonly and frequently cite black-only spaces on college campuses.
So, for example, if I'm talking to somebody and they say, oh, yeah, come on, America is not really going in a direction that is troubling.
We've been through this stuff before.
Now, mind you, I get this sentiment far less than I used to.
I mainly get it from people over the age of 50, not all people, but just mainly.
And they're usually well-to-do.
They're well-off.
They're well-established.
They're economically anchored.
And they'll kind of challenge me and not in a disrespectful way.
It's sometimes at a donor event or I'm speaking at some other person's event.
We do a lot of speaking.
And they'll say, come on, Charlie, don't you think you exaggerate some things?
Don't you think you're getting into hyperbole?
America's not going in the wrong direction as badly as you say it is.
Maybe we have to cut taxes and do some things, but come on, Charlie.
America is always exempt from pain and suffering is basically the essence of their argument.
I get it a lot.
I get it less, especially in the last year and a half, but I get it a lot.
And the example that I usually use to counter the normies, if you will, is talking about black-only dormitories.
Spaces that exist on college campuses where whites are not allowed.
In CUP 142, Tucker starts off and he starts articulating this: that at University of California, Berkeley, there's a housing co-op where only people of color are allowed.
And it's banning whites from common areas unless they have consent from the tenants.
White people are not allowed in our spaces.
This is a well-established belief amongst many college academics.
I talked about this in the college scam.
It's why I open an invitation to any left-winger to talk to me about this at any time.
I believe discrimination is evil and wrong.
I believe that segregation weakens the human spirit.
It creates us, it incentivizes us to care about people's skin color rather than people's soul, their actions, their beliefs, their values.
It prioritizes the visible over the invisible.
It creates racism where it does not exist.
It institutionalizes racism.
But if you understand critical theory and postmodernism and post-structuralism, if you understand Marcuse, Foucault, and Derrida, Bell and others that are the theorists of critical theory, they believe white people cannot be discriminated against because there's more of them and white people are more powerful than black people, which of course is a rubbish belief on face value and also a very dangerous thing to believe that racism is only a one-way street.
You could be racist against anybody because they believe racism is a power struggle.
They didn't think racism is a sin or just being prejudiced against one person.
They think racism is the white class against the black class.
It is taking that Marxist view of economic struggle and appropriating it through a racial lens.
Let's play Cut 142 to get us started on this.
So a housing co-op near UC Berkeley called the Person of Color Theme House is now banning whites from common areas unless they have consent from tenants.
Quote, many people of color members moved here to be able to avoid white violence and presence.
So respective their decision of avoidance of you if you bring white guests, says the rule.
In other words, white people are so repulsive, immoral, physically disgusting that their mere presence is intolerable and they are banned.
And it continues at UC Berkeley because they've created Jew-free zones where Jews are not allowed.
And again, sometimes I will talk to very liberal Jews and I challenge them on this stuff.
I say, you realize that this is the same behavior that happened in the 1930s.
And they say, that's outrageous.
Trump is the Nazi.
I say, oh, really?
And I say that.
It fires me up.
I say, is it Trump or is it the left that is creating Jew-free zones?
It's a very simple question.
Is it the left or is it Donald Trump that has created Jew-free zones?
Well, nine student groups at Cal Berkeley have created zones called, quote, Jew-free zones.
A Berkeley co-op created white-free zones, banning whites from common areas.
I don't think I have to spend too much time articulating what happens when you start to create zones where people aren't allowed, but I have a very simple historical philosophical question.
How is this pattern of behavior any different than the ghettoization of Jews in the 1930s in Germany?
Anyway different?
I have not done much diving on this, deep diving.
Has the Anti-Defamation League and those con artists said anything about this?
Have any of the liberal Jewish groups spoke out how there is a Jew-free zone?
California Berkeley School of Law have begun this academic year by amending their bylaws, saying they will not invite any speaker that supports Israel or Zionism.
Jewish-free zones are all across UC Berkeley.
It's amazing.
You can read it right now.
It's JewishJournal.com.
Berkeley develops Jewish-free zones.
And look, I talk to some liberal Jews and they say, oh, it's being misrepresented and all this.
I just, I don't understand it.
I do not get it.
Maybe someone can explain it to me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
I just, and then they go to call Donald Trump a Nazi and a fascist.
It's unbelievable.
We have to be lectured that the Republicans are anti-Semites.
But despite the fact there's not just no evidence, it's the opposite of evidence.
Trump moves the embassy to Jerusalem.
He recognizes Golan Heights.
He cancels the Iran deal.
He defunds the American funding of Hamas.
He literally deported Nazis.
He signed the Abraham Accords.
And he, in a lot of liberal Jewish circles, they call Donald Trump's a Nazi.
And here we have right in front of us from JewishJournal.com.
Yeah, by the way, Trump has a Jewish son-in-law and a daughter.
He has Jewish grandkids.
JewishJournal.com, Berkeley develops Jewish-free zones.
Berkeley Co-op has created white-free zones.
Discrimination has always been in the tradition of the left.
They created discrimination.
They're the party of discrimination.
They're the party of KKK.
The party's ever switched.
It's who they've always been.
And now it's manifesting, and most people really don't care.
They're not taking it seriously.
They kind of shrug it off.
Oh, those are just kids.
That's whatever.
Okay.
It's just so funny.
They get so outrageous when Donald Trump says one thing denouncing the Charlottesville.
They lose their mind.
And yet, when there's actual zones that have been created at UC Berkeley that are free of Jews, that are set their stated position, JewishJournal.com, Berkeley develops Jewish free zones.
People shrug their shoulders.
Oh, what's the big deal?
There's a lot more actually to dive into Berkeley.
This is just the beginning.
There's some other clips we want to play here.
But it's not just Berkeley.
It's at every major school across the country, every major school.
And by the way, Yom Kippur is right around the corner.
I could tell you, these people better atone for their discrimination and their prejudice since.
This is wrong.
It's sick.
It's terrible.
And this is what fires me up.
This is why we had the great Dr. Barna on yesterday.
And, you know, he said, well, Americans really want us to be more kind.
Oh, really?
I have to be kind to these people that create Jewish-free zones.
Like, I'm actually not going to be kind to people that create Jew-free zones.
I'm not.
I'm sorry.
You're disgusting.
You're a bigot.
I have nothing in common with you.
Zero.
Nothing.
I don't share values with you.
You're a bigot.
How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
Producer Andrews right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.
And truth is, I know there are millions of people.
In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.
They are on a mission.
You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
And I believe they'll do it.
So here's the deal.
If you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.

Aaron from Colorado has another question about Berkeley.
It's a very similar question.
Charlie read the college scam.
I graduated from Berkeley.
Have you seen the recent news about what's happening there?
It's all a very similar theme here.
I want to continue on with this.
And I try to warn parents when you send your kid to college, you're playing Russian roulette with their values.
That's what the great Dennis Prager always says.
It's completely and totally true.
You're playing Russian roulette with their values.
You send them to college, you may never see them again.
Cut 149.
This is what the universities are producing.
You want to know why America is so quote unquote divided?
It's because we've sent 20 million people to the university every four years for the past couple of decades to be filled with this trash, this venom, this poison, this garbage.
You can judge a tree by what it produces.
Has for your college-produced people who want a free society, that believe in liberty and believe in responsibility.
Wrote an entire book on it, The College Scam.
Cut 149, UC Berkeley student believes America's racist.
Just listen to this student talk.
This is what the university is producing.
149.
America is racist.
It's practically built on racism, and I don't think anything could change it.
We should just abolish like everything and abolish what?
This is no, this is a different, like completely like reform the Constitution.
I think like completely rewrite the entire thing.
We need to erase the history that has been done.
Okay, so you strongly agree that America is racist.
Yeah, one of the main things that America is trying to hide is the national anthem and its racist lyrics.
Can you read them to us?
Yeah.
No refuge to save the hireling and save.
It's just, it's practically built on racism.
America is racist.
Yeah, I mean, that's the garbage that they spew out.
And again, very easy.
Some of you are going to say, oh, Charlie, come on, who cares?
They're a bunch of college radicals.
Yeah, guess what?
That guy's going to go work for the California Attorney General or the FBI or Goldman Sachs.
Or better yet, he'll work for Facebook and have your children's internal messages at his disposal.
When you have a lot of cheap money and you have a lot of fake economic growth, you have to go hire a bunch of people to sustain that fake economic growth or that synthetic economic growth.
So therefore, you need personnel.
Where do you get your personnel from?
Well, you require a college degree and a diploma.
You go straight to the college and you staff all these institutions with morons like that that have never learned anything wise or good or true.
Cut 148, Berkeley student says everyone that lives here lives by patterns that nurture racism and nurture colonial practices.
148.
I'm taking America as a country, as a government, as an institution, and everyone that lives here lives by patterns that nurture racism and nurture colonial practices that we're still being carrying since then.
And it comes from capitalism.
It comes from colonialism.
Yeah, colonial practices.
You mean like separation of powers, natural rights, respect for the individual, the promise of the Magna Carta?
Colonial practices.
The Christian faith, colonial practices.
Okay, let's go to cut 129, PhD from UC Berkeley.
Trans Men and Pregnancies 00:06:47
Laurel Westbrook talking about trans sports.
Again, I'm picking on Berkeley just as an example, but I want to be very clear.
University of Texas, Austin, University of Florida, University of North Carolina, Indiana University, they all have elements identical to this.
It just so happens Berkeley is a little bit more brazen with this.
It's an epicenter, but they're a little bit more cavalier.
Andrew says a little.
Yes, a little.
Play cut 129.
This belief in the innate superiority and threat of male bodies accounts for why cisgender opposition to transgender inclusion organizes predominantly around the presence of transgender women and not transgender men.
This suggests that gender panics around transgender people might more accurately be termed penis panics, as they are fueled by the terror of penises, particularly penises where they should not be, because where they are in women's restrooms or locker rooms or sports teams is then dangerous to cisgender women and girls.
I remember the first time I heard this argument.
The first time I heard this argument, they said it a little differently.
They said you have phallic phobia.
I said, what?
I mean, look, this last person, Dr. Laurel Westbrook, she should not be teaching a class.
This is a very sick person.
I mean that.
She's a professor, and she says that this comes from pallic phobia, or it's because there are penises in places that they shouldn't be.
This is her argument.
I don't know if I have a lot to contribute to that.

Charlie, did you see the recent clip of someone who was testifying in front of Congress when asked about men can become pregnant?
I consider myself well informed.
I passively watched the news.
I saw you at Jack Hibbs Church.
I listened to your podcast and have subscribed.
Thank you.
And I don't understand where this comes from.
It just feels so strange and spiritual in a bad way.
Please help me understand.
Thanks so much.
Cynthia from North Carolina.
Thank you for listening and thank you for subscribing.
Let's go to 140, Representative Clyde.
Again, I want to just say Republicans that ask these questions deserve a lot of credit.
It's not hard to do.
You need a drumbeat of putting every one of these maniacs on camera, make it go viral every time, to educate the American population.
Do you want to know why we are winning over Hispanics?
We're winning over Hispanics because Dr. Bavik Kumar, who is an abortionist, he is associated with the American Civil Liberties Union.
He looks like a very sick person.
And you'll see why in a second.
Dr. Bavik Kumar.
I'm just reading the headlines of the recent commentary about him.
If you want central casting for left-wing beta male, not an ounce of testosterone in sight was detected.
You got Dr. Bavik Kumar.
Okay, let's see how he answers.
This guy's a doctor.
He's supposed to know what he's talking about.
Where did he go to school, by the way?
Obviously, more degrees than I have.
But not more wisdom, I hate to say.
Well, actually, I don't hate to say it, but where did he go?
Let's see.
Who educated this guy?
He completed medical school at Texas Tech University.
Residency training at the Montefiore Medical Center and fellowship in family planning at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York.
This guy's an abortionist.
He is director of primary and trans care for Planned Parenthood in the Gulf Coast in Houston, Texas.
This guy should be imprisoned, to be honest, for what he's done.
Genital mutilation.
It's really interesting before I play his tape.
Planned Parenthood is now expanding their business model to mutilate your children medically for profit.
They see huge dollar signs on this.
So they see the shrinking window on infanticide and they see the increasing window on the medical mutilation of children.
Okay, so Dr. Bavuk Kumar is asked by Representative Clyde on who can give birth in America.
Play cut 140.
Dr. Kumar, can biological men become pregnant and give birth?
So men can have pregnancies, especially trans men.
Men can have pregnancies.
Do you hear that?
That's the position of the Democrat Party.
Someone just said in our chat.
He's so metrosexual.
It's true.
It's like that's what the university produces.
It's just like a complete joke.
It's the death of the American male when I see something like that.
I want to play that clip again.
Play cut 140 again.
Dr. Kumar, can biological men become pregnant and give birth?
So men can have pregnancies, especially trans men.
Yeah, especially trans men.
So what's the significance of this?
We could talk about the biology of it, important, talk about the science of it.
He's a doctor, right?
All that.
No, no, no, no, it's much deeper than that.
Behind the trans movement is an obliteration of language.
It is making what we consider to be normal no longer normal.
It is the moving of the Overton window.
When you read postmodern literature by Herbert Marcuse, when you read One Dimensional Man, when you read and you understand what the deconstructionists were really going after, they were going after objectivity of existence.
C.S. Lewis Warns of Modernity 00:02:10
One of the more interesting books that really warned about this as we were entering into modernity, one of the things that wrote and articulated this beautifully is a book by C.S. Lewis called Abolition of Man.
It's a terrific book.
I encourage everyone to read it.
You could read it in a couple hours.
And Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis really begins as a literary critique of a children's book.
And as this literary critique is continuing of this children's book, it is picking apart how they defined, in my memory, a waterfall.
And in this book, C.S. Lewis finds it objectionable, and I'm just drawing from memory in here, but the essence is that the authors of this children's book said that you can have your own opinion of whether or not the waterfall is sublime or not, whether or not the waterfall is beautiful.
You can make up your own mind.
And C.S. Lewis says, whoa, this is going to lead towards an endless stream, no pun intended, of subjectivism.
He writes about men without chests, which Bavik Kumar is patient zero of C.S. Lewis's prediction of men without chests.
And G.K. Chesterton had one of the great quotes ever, G.K. Chesterton, an ally of C.S. Lewis.
I don't know if they were contemporaries.
He said, fires will be kindled to testify that two and two makes four.
Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer.
That time has arrived.
And Georgia Maloney continued, but that's what G.K. Chesterton said.
Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer.
And Orwell probably had the most famous work of poetry.
And I really consider 1984 to be a work of poetry.
It's an unbelievable book.
He just, it's easy to read.
It flows.
There's no waste of language.
There's nothing that is exposed that is not used later.
It's very, yeah, okay, so Chesterton was an early contemporary of C.S. Lewis.
He lived a little before C.S. Lewis really kind of hit his stride.
But this is a theme.
Chesterton on Justice and Truth 00:10:24
Cut 110, director of adolescent specialty clinic at all children's, says kids as young as 12 are part of patient visits and having confidential meetings without parents.
It is always the goal of the regime.
It is the goal of the totalitarians and the despots to make sure children do not have binds or bonds with parents.
They must break that bond.
When parents are close to their children and vice versa, the government is not as strong.
The government gets stronger.
The government gets more powerful when children are rebelling institutionally against their parents.
This is Cut 110, where they have children peeled away from their parents to get chemically crastrated, medically mutilated for profit.
Play cut 110.
We do a really good job at taking time to ask them really detailed and personal questions related to their emotions, their mental well-being.
We really try to create a safe space here to allow them to do that.
And so part of that visit really entails having the parents step out of the room for a few minutes so that we can really understand the teen a little bit more and create that confidential safe space for them.
Confidential, safe space.
So when I hear Christians, well, Charlie, we need more kindness.
No, we don't.
Sorry.
We need people like that in jail.
Maybe that is the kind thing to do.
Second grade teacher explains workaround she uses to discuss gender ideology with students in her district, which has rules against it.
Be careful sending your children and grandchildren to government schools.
I always chuckle when I meet some of our Turning Point USA donors and they say, oh, our public school is wonderful.
I'm glad.
I'm glad you've vetted it thoroughly.
But is there a chance there's something that's happening that you're not aware of?
Play cut 109.
Man, there were so many teachers in that guy's comment section that said that their district won't allow them to ask students for their pronouns.
So here is a little workaround.
This is an icebreaker I called Call Me because I'm bad at naming things that I used with my second pairs this year.
So we sat in our community circle and went around the circle and introduced ourselves.
And our introduction sounded like this.
My name is Miss Parker.
And when you talk about me, you can call me she.
They went around, they did the same thing.
They were very giggly.
But afterwards, we talked about why that's important.
Okay, so let me just give you some context.
First of all, I don't understand what is this new phenomenon of these young female teachers and gay teachers that make TikTok videos of themselves, bragging about, I don't, I guess I do understand it.
What I'm trying to say is it's so wrong.
That should be just warning sign number one, that you feel like you have to go to TikTok and do this.
And thanks to Libs of TikTok, who has done yeoman's work throughout the last year, filing through this and cataloging it and publicizing it.
We know about this.
That's just the first thing.
They're admitting to it.
Secondly, she's admitting that she circumvents the gender ideology bans by doing it this way because her district has proper rules against it, but she wants to pervert your children.
That's happening in real time.
Okay, I want to get to a separate story here.
Charlie, we don't hear much about the vaccine anymore.
Some of my friends are making me try to take a booster just to see them again.
What's your advice?
Why don't we talk about it as much anymore?
We don't talk about it much as much anymore because the gene-altering medication is not what people thought it is.
And it has a lot of damage.
This is one of the most unbelievable videos I've seen in quite some time and it says something.
Let's just get 152 ready, but I'm going to preface it.
This is a woman by the name of Jennifer Gibson.
She's a Canadian actress.
Makes a selfie video, and she has Bell's palsy.
It's a sad video.
And I felt really sorry for her till the end.
Play cut 152.
I have been diagnosed with Bell's palsy, which is paralysis on one side of the face.
For me, it's this side here, the left, obviously.
So I got it about two weeks after getting my vaccine.
And I had a rough go with the vaccine.
And I guess still am.
But I have to say that I would do it again because it's what we have to do.
Here's my work smile.
She has Bell's palsy.
And she says, well, I guess it's what we have to do.
Rough go with the vaccine.
This is such a crime.
It's sad.
I mean, I don't feel sorry for her because she's unbelievably stupid.
No, you don't have to do it to go see people.
It just shows the incredible hypnosis that you can be under, that the regime can make you believe in.
This woman has been hypnotized.
She is not a free-thinking, sovereign individual.
She's a cog in the machine.
Well, I guess we have to do it.
I would do it again to go get Bell's palsy again.
What has happened to us?
I'm learning a lot about humanity.
I have learned more about humanity in the last two years.
Someone emailed us, not really a question.
They said, Charlie, thank you because of the work you did this.
It's true.
We put a lot of pressure on this story.
And it is kind of finally getting to justice.
It's a very, very disturbing story out of North Dakota.
Kayler Ellingson was murdered by a criminal for political reasons.
And he ran over Republican teen in North Dakota, now charged with felony murder.
I knew a lot of you lit up the switchboards and a lot of you called and a lot of you did that.
We appreciate the emails that are thanking us.
We're nothing more than a conduit for that.
Most Americans don't know Kayler Ellingson's name, but they do know George Floyd's name, who was a 46-year-old drug-addicted criminal who was killed while resisting arrest.
He was not killed justly.
We're not making that argument.
That's never been our argument.
But Kayler Ellingson was an 18-year-old Republican murdered for supporting Donald Trump.
And most Americans know nothing about him.
Stephen from Michigan says, Charlie, you've been plugging Darkness at Noon.
I've been reading it.
There's a lot there.
Are you going to do a whole show on it?
Yes, I have been pestering the great Jack Pesobic to finish it so he could get on the program.
We kind of go through chapters here on this program where I really focus on certain books.
And Darkness at Noon is a very, very powerful book.
It's not an easy read.
If you want to get a picture of totalitarianism from a different angle, it is unlike any other book.
84, 1984 is the best.
It really is.
But then I have to say, Darkness at Noon is all about the Moscow show trials and about how the regime eventually eats itself.
It's very, very, it's brilliantly written because it's from Arthur Kussler, Kusler or Kessler.
Depends how you pronounce it.
There's a disagreement.
Let's just say Kessler for time's sake.
And he used to be a communist and he wrote this entire thing, really going after Stalin.
And it shows the mentality, the philosophy, the brutality of it.
Dr. Larry Arn from the Great Hillsdale College recommended I read it, and I did, and we had a great meeting about it, actually.
One of the things that I did when I was at Hillsdale is I just sat down with Larry, Dr. Larry Arn, and we talked about it for an hour, about what's behind it, what the big takeaways are, the applications that did today.
Obviously, he's a great teacher.
He saw things and taught me things I missed completely.
And so the next book I'm reading, because I'm really into uplifting literature right now, is the dystopian novel Brave New World, which is just great.
And, well, it's not great in the sense that it's actually very dark, but I think we're actually living through a Huxleyan moment more than anything else.
And Aldous Huxley was very clear about what happens when pleasure becomes the ultimate goal of a society.
That's really where he focused in on.
But if you kind of pair all these books together, if you look at it as a tapestry, if you look at it as that hideous strength in 1984 and Brave New World, it's very powerful.
Okay, let's get to another question here.
And yeah, we are going to have an entire segment on Darkness at Noon.
Okay, let's get to another question here.
All right, let's go to this one.
Cut 127.
A question, Charlie, did you say Lizzo playing President James Madison's flute?
Yes, she's not to be confused with Von Miller.
Play cut 127.
So I think there was another piece of tape where Lizzo was actually respecting the flute.
And I saw that tape where she did it.
People are accusing her of a desecration.
I don't know.
There must be a different clip than that because that didn't look as bad as people say it is.
Some people say she was twerking or something, if that's true.
But maybe I didn't see the entire clip.
So Lizzo, don't really know who she is.
I guess people say she's a big deal.
I don't know.
They're accusing her of desecrating an American object of President James Madison's glass flute, of which I do have to ask the question: why did the American government pass over this historic artifact to Lizzo?
What was the criteria for that entire thing?
Doesn't make any sense to me.
It sure does feel like an appropriation and the normalization of the desecration of our institutions.
Sure feels that way.
If it's true that she twerked and she, but I don't, I mean, I don't, it didn't seem that clear to me in that video, but that's that's definitely the consensus of what a lot of people are saying.
Feels widely inappropriate.
