Campus Assault and Turning Point
00:03:22
|
|
| Hey, everybody. | |
| Today on the Charlie Kirk show, Brian Kilmead joins us to talk about his new book and the midterm chances. | |
| A Turning Point USA chapter leader is assaulted on campus, maced three times for wanting to go to a club meeting by domestic violent extremists on the left, of which no one is arrested. | |
| And yet we have to be lectured by the left and the media that somehow we're the violent side. | |
| And then finally, I have hope because of something I saw on MSNBC. | |

| Joining us now is a great American, someone who's always been very good to me, and I love watching him on TV. | |
| And I have to say, I have a lot of respect for someone that has a strong work ethic. | |
| I have a lot of respect. | |
| And this guy is a wonder in when he wakes up and how hard he works. | |
| And it is Brian Kilmead, and he really loves America, and he's a phenomenal author. | |
| Brian, welcome back to the program. | |
| Brian, what time did you wake up today? | |
| Well, today is an aberration because today I won and watched both my daughters had a college game against each other. | |
| So it's the last time they'll ever play against each other. | |
| So I actually took the day off and watched because I didn't get off the field last night till we're four hours from Manhattan. | |
| So late. | |
| So I had to take today off, but normally 2:20. | |
| 2:20. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And work my way through. | |
| And that was the election. | |
| There's not even enough time because you hop on the air at six. | |
| And then you do it with affiliates because you know, as you try to build the radio network, you try to contribute to their morning shows and let them know what's coming up on your show. | |
| So my busiest time for radio is between 4 and 5:55. | |
| And then I actually do the radio show at 9.06. | |
| And I'll be able to just, I just want to give the affiliates a sense that I'm part of their lineup. | |
| So I try to weave that in before doing Fox and Friends of the Morning. | |
| And there's a lot of live shows going on at that time, as you know. | |
| So around the country, different time shifts and everything like that. | |
| So it's a fun job, though. | |
| You know, Charlie, you'd be talking about this, even if you didn't have the organizations you had and the shows that you do, right? | |
|
Frederick Douglass and Abolition
00:15:06
|
|
| Your passion's there for it. | |
| Well, thank you, Brian. | |
| I appreciate that. | |
| So let's get to your book here, The President and the Freedom Fighter. | |
| It is now out in paperbook. | |
| We've talked about this before. | |
| Two amazing Americans, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. | |
| Talk about it. | |
| A couple of things. | |
| I mean, what I try to do is in the middle of these George Floyd riots, where people are saying America is hopelessly racist, and it's about time that we admit it. | |
| And everybody knew this was wrong, but people wrote checks to Black Lives Matter. | |
| I'm thinking to myself, okay, this is going to be great. | |
| I'm doing a book on the Civil War regarding two men, black and white, who rose above it and brought America forward. | |
| And then, at first, dread, and then I realized this is a great opportunity. | |
| Give people a perspective on race in America and where we were and where we are. | |
| And then you see these two men who overcame incredible circumstances. | |
| You know, Lincoln, most people know, bounce a depression. | |
| You know, people who not many people know his mom died at eight. | |
| His dad had no use for education. | |
| He had to find a way to teach himself to read, write, and excel, even though he had one year of formal schooling. | |
| And he overcame all those obstacles to be a few political losses, to be the perfect person at the perfect time to start this party called the Republican Party that thought that slavery should end and everybody should be free. | |
| And Frederick Douglass, born a slave, escapes to freedom on his second effort, ends up in New York. | |
| I was also free for a place to live and something to eat. | |
| So he literally had nothing in a strange city that was just as harsh as it is today, maybe more harsh. | |
| And then he found his way to become within seven years a best-selling author and one of the most sought-after speakers in the country. | |
| But instead of leaving America, he wanted to make it better. | |
| So instead of doing that, he helps lead an abolitionist movement. | |
| So he's in the perfect place at the perfect time when the Civil War happens. | |
| And he went from critic to big supporter to great friend of Abraham Lincoln. | |
| So I know I couldn't bring anything different to those biographies, but I could talk about their relationship. | |
| And I think people would understand if they accomplished what they accomplished despite America at that time and the world at that time. | |
| I think they have a great appreciation and perspective about race in America, the most successful multicultural country in the history of the world. | |
| And in this book, the news came to this history story and that they were trying to take down the very statue that Frederick Douglass was asked to dedicate to Abraham Lincoln 10 years after his death. | |
| I'm talking about the Emancipation Monument and talking about the freedom statue that sits in Lincoln Park in Washington, D.C. | |
| And they actually took the replica down in Massachusetts. | |
| And then they ripped Frederick Douglass's statue off the podium in Rochester where he lived most of his free life. | |
| And I'm thinking to myself, that is my book. | |
| So I put that in the afterword and what it means and the folly of those efforts and why we should feel better about where we're at in 2022 than we're at in 2020. | |
| And you see, I think there's a real sobering effect here in America that things are not nearly as bad as portrayed. | |
| People are taking advantage of that moment to make themselves rich like Black Lives Matter and really doing everything to divide the country when really not far apart. | |
| And I see Republicans being much like the original Republican Party, welcoming in African Americans, welcoming people of all sex. | |
| Look at the diverse class that is running for office right now. | |
| I mean, roles are totally reversed. | |
| Republicans are the diverse, you know, pull up your pull yourself up from your bootstraps party that is everyone on board from women to Hispanics to blacks. | |
| And I just think this is a fascinating time that's happened since my hardcover came out. | |
| And then the softcover comes out a year later with this new afterword because history is once again news. | |
| That's really well said. | |
| Can you talk about how Frederick Douglass considered the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence to be a promissory note that was the fulfillment to abolish slavery was actually a continuation of the moral claims about the Declaration of the Constitution. | |
| That is directly at odds with Nicole Hannah-Jones and the 1619 Project, who believed that those founding documents were against the promise of the abolitionist slavery. | |
| Frederick Douglass actually admired the founding promise. | |
| And some people misrepresent Frederick Douglass with his famous speech, what to the slave is the 4th of July. | |
| Help walk us through that, Brian, because you have a great historical mind, and I think the nuance is important to explain here. | |
| Well, number one, she doesn't do any interviews. | |
| I think she does like three interviews because she can't defend what's in her book. | |
| And most of the historians who were consulted by her book, you know, for example, the New York Times kind of wrote that book, it seems like. | |
| And a lot of it they sent out to various historians to say, hey, this is what we're putting out there. | |
| What do you think? | |
| And a lot of them kicked it to the curb. | |
| And there's a book called 1620 out there. | |
| And there's other books that just debunked the 1619 project. | |
| But I never thought that book was going to become part of curriculum. | |
| It's literally in schools now. | |
| I mean, who would think that some person would write a book and make it a handbook? | |
| And the New York Times was pure propaganda. | |
| It just is. | |
| I mean, it's unbelievable. | |
| It is conjecture. | |
| It's baseless. | |
| It doesn't use original source documents. | |
| And Brian, what I love about your books is they're all cited. | |
| Please continue. | |
| Sorry. | |
| Yeah. | |
| No, no problem. | |
| So Frederick Douglass in particular talks about the journey. | |
| So you have a guy that was told you don't teach African Americans to read and write because they don't want freedom. | |
| They're going to see the world in which it could be, not the one that we need them to work. | |
| Now, keep in mind, only 20% of the black population was in the North. | |
| People knew slavery existed, but it was not part of a lifestyle that in the North, even though you found this in the 1960s, that they even understood a lot of the times when people were seeing some of this video with a black and white water fountain to the buses. | |
| In the North, they were saying to themselves, what is going on? | |
| We don't have that. | |
| Not that the North was free of prejudice and racist tendencies, but it was anything like what's happening in the South that was embedded in some ways in that community. | |
| And what the founding fathers couldn't do is find a way to shake slavery. | |
| They didn't invent it. | |
| It was on every continent on the planet. | |
| It was mostly in Brazil. | |
| The American Indians had slaves. | |
| There was blacks in Africa had slaves. | |
| That's just the way things were done in early civilization. | |
| We used to study it, but now we condemn it as if in 2022, we figured everything out. | |
| You judge people by the era in which they live. | |
| So when you have Frederick Douglass escape to freedom, he ends up impressing a guy named William Lloyd Garrison. | |
| He's a leading abolitionist. | |
| And what Garrison said is everyone should be equal. | |
| Everyone should be free. | |
| And the Constitution needs to be torn up. | |
| And that's the guy that's mentoring Douglas. | |
| But the more Douglass reads and studies the Constitution, the more he looks at the Declaration of Independence, he changes his mind. | |
| And he leaves Garrison and he goes with this guy, Garrett Smith, who says, he goes, listen, we're not living up to the Constitution. | |
| It's not the Constitution that's wrong. | |
| And then Douglass wrote about it, made his own newspaper called The North Star, left the Liberator, and he would write about the promise of America. | |
| And he's impatient about America making progress. | |
| What is wrong with that? | |
| Nothing. | |
| He is more of an activist. | |
| And you have Lincoln, who is a politician, who says, this is the country I have. | |
| And you're telling me the country you want. | |
| I have to govern the country I have. | |
| And that's where some conflict between the two were. | |
| And he said, it's a promissory note, guys, here's the document. | |
| This is now the great, this is how you're going to be graded, live up to it. | |
| And it took generations in overcoming racists like Andrew Johnson, instead of having Grant and people like Lincoln, you had Andrew Johnson who said, you know, we fought a war, but if the South wants to do their own thing, go ahead, Ku Klux Klan. | |
| I'll go ahead. | |
| It seems like a good organization. | |
| Just don't bother me with it. | |
| Obviously, people outraged by it. | |
| They almost impeached him. | |
| At the same time, Grant comes over and starts doing some extraordinary things, but did give birth to separate but equal, which is something we had to handle 50 years later. | |
| So Douglas saw the promise. | |
| And Douglas traveled. | |
| And Ireland was above us. | |
| You know, they were ahead of us in race relations. | |
| The UK was ahead of us in race relations. | |
| He could have stayed and lived like a king. | |
| Instead, he said, no, man, I'm an American. | |
| I'm going back. | |
| And he goes back and he continues to push in prod. | |
| And when the Civil War is fought, yeah, when the Civil War is fought, we know how it happened, and we know how close these two became. | |
| Check out Brian's book. | |
| It's now available in paperback, The President and the Freedom Fighter to amazing Americans, Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. | |
| So, Brian, you're really on the pulse of the news. | |
| You help co-host the most successful morning cable news show out there. | |
| I love it. | |
| I love watching. | |
| What do you think is going to happen in 13 days with the midterms looming? | |
| What are you seeing? | |
| What are you looking at? | |
| What do you think the activist press might be missing? | |
| We've got to get you back on One Nation, too, Charlie. | |
| I got to ask you that very same question because you do have the pulse of the nation more than anybody because you probably interact with more people who came to this show and your foundation. | |
| But what I see right now is I cannot believe where it's trending. | |
| Now, we know what happened in July. | |
| I mean, the Dobbs decision was swapping everything, and Donald Trump, and they had investigations, allowed it to be the first and second issue in the country. | |
| And the Republicans said, well, what happened, man? | |
| Nothing's really breaking our way. | |
| But they held firm, and the Democrats really deserve most of the discredit for this. | |
| They let the border fall apart. | |
| The Republican governors made them take a look. | |
| That is now a top three issue. | |
| Crime and no punishment has taken over every city, big and small, bleeding into the subways. | |
| That is now one or two in almost every ranking of things that matter most. | |
| And the fact is, they jammed the Inflation Reduction Act down our throats, which was mislabeled, and they took the American people for suckers on that. | |
| It was a green energy deal that we didn't need. | |
| At the same time, our gas prices were going up and utilities go through the roof. | |
| Now, one thing that I point out that Democrats, that Republicans did, I'm telling you this is Republican action, the Democratic actions and their lack of action on things that matter most. | |
| And of all people, Bill Maher, if they had listened, they'd be stopping a tsunami that I think is going to hit him in the face. | |
| And now, even Al Franken came out and said, what is going on? | |
| This is a liberals, liberal comedian, I granted, but a commentator. | |
| No one's ever said he was dumb. | |
| And he said, how could you actually think that inflation wasn't something you have to deal with every day responsibly? | |
| Instead, you're just jamming, you're just adding fuel to the fire with the student loan forgiveness and continuing to pretend as if we're doing all we can, drilling and blaming Saudi Arabia when we don't, and Vladimir Putin that we are experiencing what we're experiencing. | |
| The American people don't want to hear excuses. | |
| They just see no on non-action. | |
| So I believe the Democrats are going to get swamped right now and they're the blame. | |
| The question is going to break down the fights in Georgia, when we break down the matchups in Nevada, when we shouldn't see if there's an upset brewing, if we see if there's an upset brewing, possibly across the country in places like Colorado. | |
| I'm not sure what happens there. | |
| I think there you've got to dive into what's happening in those states in particular. | |
| But I think that the Warnock stuff is coming out. | |
| This guy is as radical as Reverend Wright. | |
| And I think Herschel's handled his controversy pretty well and did fantastic in his debate. | |
| So I think Georgia is anxious to vote and they're coming out. | |
| So I think that in the House, I think it's going to be substantial. | |
| And now the Senate, even 538 is saying it's 52.50, 52% chance now Democrats hold up to the Senate. | |
| Yep, it's going down. | |
| They're always lagging, Brian. | |
| They're always lagging. | |
| You know, we've been saying this for weeks. | |
| When is 538 going to, in the middle of the night, do a little bit of a comp? | |
| Is that really 52%? | |
| Is that right now, Brian? | |
| I mean, yeah, that's what they said. | |
| A slight advantage for Democrats. | |
| I think they're going to change it right before election just to cover themselves because they're going to vote. | |
| Had it at 75 just a month ago. | |
| I think that's a really smart take, Brian. | |
| Yeah, but so there's a lot of people wondering, you know, what kind of sleeper races you guys have been covering them. | |
| Do you think Washington could be in play? | |
| And then, Brian, I mean, the beautiful state of New York, you're a Long Island guy. | |
| I mean, do you think it's possible that Lee Zeldon could be the next governor in New York? | |
| About a minute remaining. | |
| Yeah, real quick, I think, I think former Governor Cuomo is working against Hochul. | |
| And I think also the Hoku. | |
| That's really smart. | |
| And I think Zeldin is real. | |
| Zeldin's authentic. | |
| There's no great lines. | |
| That's him. | |
| And the issues came to him. | |
| So if I was to pick it up, said that would be it. | |
| I've watched it along the way. | |
| I sat next to him at the Al Smith theater. | |
| Everybody was coming up to him saying, you're going to win. | |
| You got my vote. | |
| And I couldn't believe who I was seeing saying it. | |
| This is established elite Democratic event. | |
| And these people will go and I've had enough. | |
| And you know what? | |
| Lee Zelda's smart enough to say, I'm going to work with Democrats in New York. | |
| You got to say that. | |
| And I think he would do it because you don't get anything done if you don't. | |
| Yeah, that's right. | |
| I think it's really smart. | |
| And I think you're right. | |
| I think Cuomo is trying to sabotage Hochul. | |
| And Cuomo has a lot of power. | |
| I think Cuomo's working the phones and telling get out the vote union stuff saying, nope, maybe, nope, maybe help Schumer, but stay out of this one. | |
| I think there's a lot of, I think there's a lot of revenge going on there. | |
| That's a smart take. | |
| Brian, thanks for joining us. | |
| Check out his book now available in paperback. | |
| Check it out. | |
| I think it's going to do very well. | |
| The president and the freedom fighter, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. | |
| Brian, thank you so much. | |
| Hey, Charlie Kirk here. | |
| When it comes to liberals in Congress, there's no way they would accept term limits on themselves. | |
| And yet now they're fighting tooth and nail to impose term limits on Supreme Court justices. | |
| Term limits for thee, but not for me. | |
| Sounds completely hypocritical. | |
| Of course it is. | |
| But since when has that ever been a problem for the American left? | |
| They do whatever they want to try to seize more power, even if it means purging the Supreme Court of its most experienced justices. | |
| To no one's surprise, their new court purging scheme would remove long-serving, amazing justices like the super brilliant Clarence Thomas and the courageous Samuel Alito. | |
| They would then replace these new justices with a rubber stamp and their radical agenda. | |
| Since Democrats are working hard to pass court purging with term limits, we need to work even harder to stop it. | |
| Or the Supreme Court, as we know it, will never be the same. | |
| If you care about the integrity of the Supreme Court and don't want to see it taken over by political hacks, go to supremecoup.com. | |
| That is supreme COUP.com. | |

Protest Safety and Free Speech
00:12:17
|
|
| We are lectured all the time about domestic violent extremism, as if the right has lots of domestic violent extremists. | |
| Except that's just not true. | |
| The left is full of people that are willing to use force to intimidate and harm conservatives. | |
| It's happening with Turning Point USA chapters all across the country. | |
| It's now happened twice at University of New Mexico, University of Iowa, and yes, now at University of California, Davis, our Turning Point USA chapter, was trying to host a speaker, Stephen Davis, a great man, who was met with Antifa and the young lady who runs the Turning Point USA chapter, Madeline Lowe, University of California Davis chapter leader, was maced three times by domestic, violent, extremist leaders, domestic, violent, extremist leftists. | |
| Joining us now is Madeline Lowe. | |
| Madeline, welcome to the program. | |
| Hi, thank you for having me. | |
| First of all, are you doing okay? | |
| I am. | |
| I am. | |
| Thank you very much. | |
| I've recovered, yeah. | |
| Well, walk us through what happened last evening. | |
| So I was arriving to the event at 6.40. | |
| I was 20 minutes early. | |
| And when I arrived, I saw about 100, maybe 75 to 100 protesters in front, and they were banging on the windows, yelling things at the UC Davis Conference Center. | |
| And so I walked through the crowd trying to fit in and I go up to the security guards asking them if I was able to get into the event. | |
| And when I found out I couldn't, I was started taking videos of everything that was happening around me. | |
| And at that point, people were starting to like grab me and say, why are you talking to these people? | |
| You need to come back here with us. | |
| And I was asking them politely, please do not touch me. | |
| And then once I walked out back to the crowd, I saw protesters protesting the protesters. | |
| And at this point, I went over to them and said, like, hi guys, like, what's going on here? | |
| And I was videoing this whole situation. | |
| As I started to walk back into the protesters crowd, a man asked me to identify myself. | |
| And I just keep walking past him. | |
| That's when he proceeded to mace me. | |
| And then I turned around and then another person maced me. | |
| And then the same guy that did it the first time maced me again. | |
| After that, a guy from my left grabbed my phone, ripped it out of my hand, and then took it from me and threw it on the ground and smashed it. | |
| At that point, my hand was hurting a lot because he had ripped it out of my hand and I was trying to hold on to it. | |
| And then he called the police and the police would not come until the protest was broken up. | |
| And so that was the end of that. | |
| Was anybody arrested for using mace against you three times? | |
| No one was arrested because the police department would not respond to the call unless the protest was broken up. | |
| I'm pretty sure it was due to an incident 10 years ago at UC Davis. | |
| And so I had to wait around for the police department to come take my statement, in which if they find the people who did mace me, they would arrest them and press charges. | |
| Yeah, well, something tells me that they're not going to take this very seriously, right? | |
| And probably won't. | |
| And so here, basically, you're trying to host a peaceful event with Turning Point USA, trying to have Stephen Davis on campus and walk our audience through this. | |
| A hundred masked Antifa people show up on campus because you're going to have an event with a couple dozen people, maybe 50, maybe 100 people. | |
| What's going on here? | |
| So this is exactly what happened. | |
| And so the vice president, Luke Schultz, is the person who invited me to this event. | |
| I was really just a member going and I'm trying to get more active in the club. | |
| And at this point, I was taking videos to, you know, have this be promoted. | |
| And when I showed up, I was not expecting 100 protesters. | |
| It was extremely not fair to any side. | |
| And I think it's really lack, it's really showing what, how much freedom of speech we have on campuses and universities around school. | |
| And I'm a first year and I thought that it would be a lot more accessible to just have the right to speech and understand and go to club meetings. | |
| And now it's really being a threat. | |
| It's politics on campus is being a threat to everyone's freedom. | |
| So your first year here and you want to join a Turning Point Club meeting. | |
| Again, this wasn't a very big event by turning point standards. | |
| Is that fair to say, right? | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| We actually didn't believe, we only had 200 people that RSVP'd, but we didn't expect a lot of people to show up, especially not protesters. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And so then you try to, this is a club meeting, right? | |
| Yeah, it is. | |
| And so you try to show up and 100 leftists that some of whom are armed with batons and mace and Tifa, domestic violent extremists, try to then intimidate and then they go after you and Mace you, which is against the law. | |
| That is domestic violent extremism. | |
| And one of our audience members says, do these kids ever go to class? | |
| I bet a lot of these were non-students, though, weren't they? | |
| They sound like community members. | |
| I saw a lot of older gentlemen. | |
| I felt as though they weren't undergraduates. | |
| They might have been recently graduated or community members. | |
| Yeah, I mean, that's been our experience. | |
| And I mean, they have these trained Antifa pamphlets. | |
| I want to read it for our audience here, which is: don't talk to cops, don't photograph or film the protest, protect each other, stick together, watch what you say, leave your phone in case of arrest, all this different stuff. | |
| And they have the Sacramento NLG hotline. | |
| What is NLG? | |
| I know what that is. | |
| It's a hotline for them, maybe to bail them out of jail or something. | |
| But look, this is extraordinary. | |
| And so I got to ask the question: are you going to stay involved as a conservative on campus? | |
| I mean, does this deter you, despite the fact you got maced three times by a left-wing domestic violent extremist? | |
| No, it does not deter me at all, actually. | |
| I'm going to try and make my difference as much as possible. | |
| I was not planning on getting actively involved in politics at least until sophomore year, but now it just makes me want to do it more because this isn't right at all that people can't voice their opinion. | |
| And I'm trying to make a big movement and be able to have the right to freedom of speech on campus. | |
| I mean, seriously, I hope every adult listening to this, and we have a very sizable audience, is taking this in. | |
| Where people say, Oh, Charlie, you know, how do I get involved in all this? | |
| I hope you guys get a little inspired by this because here's a young lady who just wanted to go to a Turning Point USA chapter meeting. | |
| She gets maced three times. | |
| No one gets arrested. | |
| Nobody cares. | |
| The cops totally failed you, by the way. | |
| I'm going to be the first one to say that. | |
| The cops could have actually restored order. | |
| They could have arrested somebody. | |
| They could have looked into this. | |
| They just let these hooligans do whatever they want. | |
| And by the way, there is this organization, the Sacramento National Lawyers Guild, that they have an on-call attorney for people who are arrested can call from jail to request legal supports. | |
| They have an entire infrastructure in case somebody got arrested that assaulted you. | |
| Of course, they'd be let out without bail. | |
| But that's really amazing, Madeline, that you want to stay engaged and stay involved, and this won't deter you. | |
| No, not at all. | |
| I love politics. | |
| That's awesome. | |
| Well, stay involved with your Turning Point USA chapter. | |
| We have your back. | |
| I hope to meet you soon. | |
| And I hope every parent and every adult out there is watching carefully and closely. | |
| You try to attend a Turning Point USA chapter at University of California, Davis. | |
| They will assault you. | |
| Well, thankfully, you're okay. | |
| I'm glad you're doing better. | |
| God bless you, Madeline. | |
| See you soon. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | |
| We have someone emailed us. | |
| Charlie, this is not America anymore. | |
| Yeah, I mean, we've been trying to warn about this for quite a while. | |
| It's really sad what's happening. | |
| Email me, freedom at charliekirk.com. | |
| Let's get to some other stories here. | |
| By the way, we're going to have that story written up at charliekirk.com. | |
| That is charliekirk.com. | |
| Very important that we stay on this, what's happening on these college campuses. | |
| Meanwhile, they're the ones that call us Nazis, play cut 50. | |
| I mean, I'm not calling, I'm not going to say that, you know, the GOP are Nazis at this point or whatever, but it certainly sounds very familiar to what happened in Germany. | |
| Certainly sounds very familiar to what happened in Germany, really. | |
| Which side is the one that is using weapons to deter people to go to campus meetings about freedom of speech and the Constitution? | |
| Which side is doing that? | |
| Can you give me an instance of a conservative group that is using force or violence? | |
| Which side has masked goons and hooligans? | |
| Which side is that exactly? | |
| This is a poor young girl who tries to go to a Turning Point USA chapter meeting and gets maced. | |
| And by the way, you might say, oh, that's an isolated incident. | |
| No, it's not. | |
| We've had kids knocked out stone cold at UC Berkeley. | |
| University of New Mexico, they violently have stormed and canceled two events of ours. | |
| You might see where I'm going to be attending next semester where I'm going to be visiting next semester. | |
| You see, we have a rule at Turning Point USA. | |
| You mess around and you come after us, we're going to come back after you. | |
| Remember the Tommy Larin event when they were quarantined and had not just quarantined because of a virus, but because of all the people that disrupted the event and the domestic violent extremists or Benny at University of Iowa, where they came violently after him in his presentation? | |
| Or do you remember the Steve Scales shooter, James T. Hodgkinson? | |
| Staunch Bernie Sanders supporter that shot Steve Scalise? | |
| Or how about the three arrested in connection with violence with the Donald Trump rally in San Jose? | |
| Or how about this? | |
| Remember the Molotov cocktail-wielding lawyer during Floyd Apalooza in downtown New York? | |
| Or how about the armed man who threatened to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh? | |
| It sure seems that domestic violent extremism lives in the hearts and the practice of the American left. | |
| Or how about black extremists murdering cops in Dallas and Baton Rouge? | |
| They got radicalized by anti-cop rhetoric. | |
| By the way, how many people have been arrested recently for vandalizing and terrorizing pro-life centers? | |
| 105 days and not a single arrest for all of the arson and terrorism done to pro-life centers across the country. | |
| How about Rand Paul? | |
| Rand Paul can barely leave his home without being terrorized by somebody. | |
| His neighbor came and beat him up violently. | |
| Or remember when he left the White House and he got terrorized and a bloodthirsty mob came after his family? | |
| Or do you remember the domestic violent extremist in North Dakota recently that killed a teenager because he was a conservative? | |
| Kayler Ellingson was murdered in cold blood by a left-winger because he was a conservative. | |
| Which party is the party of domestic violent extremism exactly? | |
| Or the pro-life coffee shop owner forced to close after leftists bullied him so badly he was hospitalized? | |
| The media doesn't cover any of this. | |
| They say, oh yeah, the right wings are fascists. | |
| These are such dishonest people. | |
| For all of history, the left has always needed chaos and violence. | |
| From the French terror to the Bolsheviks to Maoism to today. | |
| And I could go through example after example after example of how the left endorses violence, the left appreciates violence, the left uses violence. | |
| They love violence. | |
| They always have. | |
| Remember during 2020, an AOC said protesting shouldn't be comfortable during Floyd of Palooza when they assaulted dozens of Secret Service members and no one went to jail. | |
| There was no January 6th committee for the summer of arson or the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone or for CHOP. | |
| No, no, no. | |
| They're trying to gaslight an entire nation to try to say that somehow conservatives are domestic violent extremists. | |
| It's a lie. | |
| It's a bitter lie used to try to create a national security apparatus to spy on us, to censor us, to infiltrate our political groups, and to destroy our movements across the country. | |
| We're not going to put up with it. | |

Live Footage and Political Awakening
00:06:24
|
|
| We're going to tell the actual story. | |
| The Democrats are the party of violence. | |
| They can't win debates, so they must use force. | |
| Rents are soaring at unprecedented highs. | |
| If you're renting or have a friend or family member, that is, now is a great time to make the move to homeownership. | |
| Look, you got to own renting, that's great, reset stuff. | |
| Andrew Del Rey and Todd Aveyan at Sierra Pacific Mortgage have helped so many people make that leap from renting to owning with lots of programs that offer first-time buyers assistance with little to no down payment needed. | |
| I encourage you right now to visit my buddies, their website. | |
| They're great guys. | |
| They're Christians. | |
| They're conservatives. | |
| They love the Lord. | |
| AndrewandTodd.com right now. | |
| The thing I love about these guys, it's not about the transaction. | |
| They're helping you create a plan to help you reach your goals. | |
| Give them a call or go to their website, andrewandTodd.com. | |
| With today's still historically low interest rates, it's easier than you think to become a homeowner. | |
| I've relied on them and producer Andrew has as well. | |
| I highly recommend you take action now. | |
| And if you know someone paying rent, tell them about Andrew and Todd. | |
| Go to andrewandodd.com and tell them the Charlie Kirk show sent you. | |
| You know, you rarely ever get to see the image of a liberating force going into a tyrannical city or nation to liberate people from their oppressors. | |
| But we do have live footage of such a time. | |
| Let's get this tape. | |
| Let's get this tape for everybody. | |
| You know, it very reminds me of the Americans going to Berlin, liberating Paris along the way. | |
| Everybody, we have footage. | |
| That's right, footage of Elon Musk walking into Twitter headquarters. | |
| The liberation is beginning. | |
| Of Elon Musk with a $44 billion smile a mile wide, carrying what seems to be a sink of some sorts. | |
| Don't quite understand that, but he must be very particular with his type of sinks. | |
| Walking right into the very luxurious Twitter headquarters saying, So, where are the bathrooms? | |
| I'm in charge now. | |
| It is the rare image of a liberator entering the land of the oppressed. | |
| I hope he does. | |
| One of our team members says, We hope Musk realizes the fight that he is starting. | |
| They will freak out. | |
| They need censorship. | |
| I think Musk is just bold enough. | |
| I'm going to use a nice word. | |
| His tweet is at Twitter, let that sink in while he carries a sink into Twitter. | |
| You got to love it. | |
| As he's carrying a sink into the lobby of Twitter. | |
| He's trolling them. | |
| Let that sink in. | |
| Now I get it. | |
| Very funny. | |
| All right. | |
| I didn't plan to start with that story, but it's very rare you get to see the forces go to liberate people from their oppressors. | |
| Okay, I want to emphasize this. | |
| We're going to go through these tapes as quickly as possible. | |
| I'm very encouraged at how smart you are audiences, how knowledgeable you are, how intelligent you are, how sharp you have become. | |
| This is exactly why I think we're on the verge of an awakening, an enlightenment, a political movement like anything else. | |
| You guys know your stuff. | |
| You guys are studying at a very deep and fundamental level. | |
| And MSNBC thought MAGA people are stupid. | |
| Obviously, they didn't go to Yale, and they probably weren't vaccinated, losers. | |
| And so, this wine mom, who I don't know her name, but she's obviously very uninformed, who thought that she could go get pull a fast one on a bunch of deplorable MAGA types about January 6th, she had a focus group. | |
| And I think this is one of the most encouraging videos I've seen in some time because it shows that our movement is truly bottom-up. | |
| It's truly grassroots where they know this stuff just as well as I do. | |
| The muscular class is red-pilled against this smug elite TV commentator. | |
| Play cut 16. | |
| Doug Mastriano was at the insurrection and he was photographed breaching one of the restricted areas. | |
| Is that okay? | |
| Which area? | |
| Because I saw a video where Capitol officers were taking away barriers and unlocking doors. | |
| I mean, they opened the gates to the city. | |
| So it shouldn't be disqualifying for an elected official to participate in January 6th. | |
| He didn't strike anybody. | |
| He didn't hurt anybody. | |
| And the only one that died was a protester there, not a Capitol politician. | |
| That's the only one that died. | |
| That's the only one who died. | |
| They know their stuff. | |
| This woman is an idiot. | |
| Insurrection. | |
| Shut up. | |
| Those people that you're trying to make look stupid on TV for MSNBC are infinitely more wise than you. | |
| They made you look like an idiot. | |
| Play Cut 17. | |
| So, what do you make, though, overall of January 6th? | |
| I mean, it was watching that footage. | |
| It was pretty disturbing. | |
| I mean, there were people throwing excrement at the walls, and it was our, you know, it's the Capitol. | |
| It looked a lot like Antiza's action. | |
| Yeah, except on a much smaller scale. | |
| It looked the same as the Black Lives Matter riot. | |
| Cut 18. | |
| They continue. | |
| I love this. | |
| This is how I know we're going to win. | |
| Bottom up, play cut 18. | |
| Anybody who harmed anybody, anybody who caused property destruction, that needs to be dealt with. | |
| But if you're there making your voice heard at the people's house, no less, that's, again, it's a fundamental constitutional right of an American citizen, and people should not be being held political prisoner because of it. | |
| For misdemeanors. | |
| That's East Germany. | |
| That's East Germany. | |
| Yeah, that's what's scary. | |
| If anyone on our audience knows any one of these people, please have them contact me. | |
| I have a feeling and an urge, and I'm usually right about this, that there's a lot more that they did not air as part of that conversation. | |
| If you know anyone that's one of those 10 patriots that had the boldness to challenge the MSNBC, Cabal, email me, freedom at charliekirk.com. | |
| We're going to win. | |
| We got a bottom-up movement. | |
| See you guys tomorrow. | |
