The war in Afghanistan may be over, but its aftermath continues to humiliate America. Charlie responds to ridiculous tweets by America's top Afghan diplomat, who is far more obsessed with #BlackGirlMagic than negotiations with the Taliban. Charlie explains how this fits into a wider cult that puts "anti-racism" above everything, and how this cult is particularly damaging to America's pro-social middle-class women. Plus, Charlie responds to the latest from the Fulton County anti-Trump investigation, and asks whether America may be on the cusp of a religious revival.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Revival Across All Faiths00:04:33
Hey, everybody.
Today on the Charlie Kirk Show, we dive into a variety of topics here, including the prevailing new religion of anti-racism.
What is black girl magic?
Why is the left targeting suburban moms and middle-class women?
They know what they're doing.
We'll explain why.
Email me directly, freedom at charliekirk.com.
Support our program at charliekirk.com/slash support and get involved with Turning PointUSA Today at tpusa.com.
That is tpusa.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.
There might be a revival happening in America, and you should be cheering for that regardless if you are a Christian, if you are a Jew, if you are agnostic, if you are atheist.
I've been covering this story for the last couple of days, and I have intentionally not talked about it because I wanted to make sure it was legit.
And Turning Point USA board member David Engelhart went there, and my pastor, Rob McCoy, went to a separate one.
And their firsthand reports to me, there's something happening.
Tucker Carlson covered it last evening.
There might be a move of the Holy Spirit, the like of which people have prayed and fasted for.
And I am praying that this starts to spread like wildfire across the country.
So not all the news is bad, everybody.
I know it seems to be such doom and gloom and all this, but boy, a spiritual revival right now.
That is exactly what we need to penetrate the darkness and to get people to actually repent and get a spiritual reset.
Oh, I'm so excited about that.
So we're going to talk about that.
That's my little tease there.
But first, let's get to the Fulton County grand jury, as I mentioned just a moment ago, has released a report.
And it's unclear whether or not this is a final report or if this is the first report before an indictment of Donald Trump.
I've said for a while that if they're going to go after Donald Trump, it's likely going to be through Fulton County, Georgia.
It's unfair.
It's not, I think, constitutional.
I think it would be a bending of the law.
I think it would be a hyper-aggressive prosecutor that would do this.
However, here's what we do know.
The grand jury said that an unspecified number of witnesses who testified should be prosecuted for perjury.
Donald Trump did not.
That might refer to Rudy Giuliani or Mark Meadows.
All we do know is that it does not refer to Trump because Trump obviously did not testify.
So he still might be indicted for other things.
That has not been announced yet, and today's report doesn't bear much out on that.
So we're going to keep our eyes on Georgia.
Jack Smith, this guy running the Department of Justice special counsel with wide-ranging authority.
Never should have been authorized.
Obviously, it was done by Merrick Garland and should not have been done.
Way too much power.
And he's going after Trump in that vertical and that angle.
I think that is a weaker case.
Just based on the New York Times coverage and the media, they've really been trying to build up the expectations on Fulton County, Georgia.
They have been.
And I don't think today is any indication either way.
I don't think you could say that Trump is not going to be indicted or he is.
It still kind of remains a mystery.
And we'll keep our eyes on that because that plays straight into 2024.
If an indicted former president, yes, of course, in a local county, it's still, you're still indicted.
You got to fight it.
You got to show up.
You got to have your lawyers there.
And eventually you have to go to trial.
I don't think we've ever seen anything like that before.
Okay, I want to cover this other story.
And this is remarkable.
So we've been trying to warn for the last couple of years about the real life, real world implications of teaching history improperly.
I'm afraid that the improper teaching of history sometimes get categorized, gets categorized as merely an academic exercise.
That how we teach history to our kids and our grandkids gets labeled as, well, it's important because we want them to love the country.
Anti-Racism as Original Sin00:05:29
But what happens when your leaders and your rulers start to digest and regurgitate this pabl, this nonsense, this poison?
We've talked at great length about the 1619 Project and Nicole Hannah-Jones and Tahanisi Coates and Ibram X. Kendi and the roster of quote-unquote anti-racist scholars that have really made millions and millions of dollars since Floyda Palooza in the summer of 2020 publishing books, Robin DiAngelo being one of them who published the barely coherent book, White Fragility.
The other one's How to Be an Anti-Racist by Ibram X. Kendi.
So there has been this boom genre of people that have made a ton of money.
And basically their worldview comes down.
The religion of America is no longer the religion of Christianity.
That's why I'm praying for a spiritual revival.
It's no longer a religion of even kind of, let's just say, secular constitutionalism, which is not really religion, but it is some of a neoliberalism, you know, live and let live.
I won't interfere with your life.
And it's no longer a metaphysical view of even deism, like, hey, God put the world into existence and wound up the clock and then got out of the way.
No, now we have a religion of anti-racism.
The religion of anti-racism appropriated elements of Christianity, such as a promise of eternal life, sanctification.
They take the sacraments of the Catholic Church and they pervert them and they put them in their own lens, such as you have to be an ally of people of color.
So they take all of the proven elements, the systems of Christianity, they change them and label them differently, but they're still the same essence of the thing under this kind of view of anti-racism.
And you see this, for example, they share a Christian view of original sin.
Their view of original sin is not that we rebelled in the garden against God's command and we have been in a state of brokenness ever since then, as it says in Genesis 6, 5, the heart of man is wicked.
No, no, no.
Instead, they believe the original sin is that if you are white, you have the original sin of racism and there's nothing you could do to atone for it.
Now, one of the ways that the religion of anti-racism is different than the religion of Christianity is that there is no salvation.
There is no grace.
There is no mercy.
That you are in perpetual damnation for the rest of your life if you are white.
Now, you might be able to be an ally, but it believes in hierarchies.
For a religion that allegedly says that everything is equitable and even, the religion of anti-racism is more hierarchical than ever before.
Now, the religion of anti-racism can also be called woke.
I prefer calling it a religion because they have a core dogma, they have texts, they have practices, they have tons of money.
Look, the religious folks of anti-racism, they can't even make all non-whites equal.
So they create this BIPOC category to make it clear that black people are better than merely brown people.
They basically have one commandment: don't be racist.
And obviously, they can't even follow that because they hate white people, but they believe that it's impossible to be racist against white people because it's a power struggle, that actually racism, power, not skin color.
So, it's impossible to be racist against white people.
Now, this ideology is obviously incredibly dangerous.
We're going to have Jack Pesobic on the program to talk about the real life implications of how this anti-racist regime that was implemented in South Africa is now resulting in rolling blackouts in an increasingly impoverished country.
There's a lot of real life implications here.
But interestingly, the most enthusiastic proponents are not black people.
You see, it's not working-class blacks that are the ones that are clamoring the loudest to implement anti-racist beliefs.
They might believe if you talk to a lot of black people and a lot of working-class blacks, they might kind of complain, like, yeah, you know, the game's kind of been rigged against us and we haven't been treated fairly, but honestly, our community's got a lot of problems too.
That's kind of like a general attitude, it's a little more nuanced.
No, no, no, no, the zealots are not in the black community.
There's a couple here and there, Nicole Hannah Jones, and all this.
The only reason they are as enthusiastic for this as they are is because they know they'll get paid by the white man, literally, because it is upper-middle-class whites, specifically upper-middle-class white women, that are just so overwhelmed with white guilt, as Shelby Steele wrote extensively about this topic and did a fabulous job.
That is the engine and is the energy behind anti-racism.
And I'm going to show you an example with all that buildup of what this means with the Our Ambassador to Afghanistan.
The Engine of Woke Zealots00:15:22
It will take your breath away.
It will.
And if you can make sense of it, you could become my new woke translator.
Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
I have never experienced anything quite like the new Strong Cell product.
I take it right before every single show.
It's so easy.
And you've got to read up on everything that has been packed into these tiny bottles.
You see, Strong Cell is a new scientific cocktail of cellular level replenishment.
It's so simple.
Just drink one small bottle of strong cell liquid per day, and boom, you guys get NADH.
I've kind of become a student of NAD.
I'm going to tell you more about that in a second.
Look, Strong Cell is a formula that helps boost your body's natural energy and restoration at the cellular level.
NAD is a crucial coenzyme that is critical for creating energy in your cells.
Now, you might say, Charlie, this sounds too good to be true.
NAD, go look it up online.
Go do five minutes of research on NAD.
It is a miracle coenzyme.
Some people call it the anti-aging enzyme.
It can help with depression.
It can help with anxiety.
It can help with mental acuity with memory.
And Strong Cell also puts CoQ10 and wild-caught marine collagen.
Again, I take it every day, and the difference I feel is undeniable.
By taking just one small bottle of Strong Cell liquid every day, you can experience an energy boost within the first week and even more benefits within the first 15 days.
After 30 days, you'll feel like a new person.
But just don't take my word for it.
Try Strong Cell for yourself and see the difference it can make.

So, the life source of any strong country or civilization is middle-class women.
A country needs strong men.
We've talked about that for a while.
However, the entry point for so much of the work of volunteerism, of building churches, of raising children, is done by middle-class women.
God bless the godly, conservative, middle-class women that sacrifice so much for their kids, their grandkids, and their community.
They show up to city council meetings.
They show up to school board meetings.
They do the volunteer work.
They care about making sure institutions keep functioning.
They're amazing at acting in concert with other women.
America was largely built and strengthened by godly women who sacrificed their time and their treasure, their energy for their kids, their grandkids, and their nation.
Middle-class women are heroes.
But since they are the life force of a society, the left knows that if they are able to introduce really dangerous and pernicious ideas into that life force, it can make the entire society fall apart.
If they're propagandized into something evil, it's horrifying.
And so, middle-class women, God bless them, that have a gut natural maternal instinct against bad ideas and threats to their children, has actually kept America more free.
So, what has the left done?
They're so smart with this.
When they had Floyd Apalooza in 2020 and there were the riots and all of this, yeah, they had a lot of young people involved, but their real target audience was always middle-class women, specifically middle-class moms.
This is why they spent so much money on podcasting.
Podcasting is a majority female-consumed medium.
There's a lot of men that listen to podcasting, but women listen to more podcast men.
Women read more books than men.
Women go out to eat with their friends more than men, more lunches, more social.
They are pro-social.
Not that men aren't, but they're completely different.
So, therefore, with that kind of baseline, understanding the heroes that middle-class women are, and without it, the entire country would fall apart.
We must also recognize the truth that middle-class women, specifically upper-middle-class white women that might have a really nice lifestyle, might unnecessarily feel a sense of guilt.
And let me say this right now.
If you are raising children, if you are involved in your community and you have a nice lifestyle, you earned that, regardless if you're the one actually getting the pay stub from some employer.
However, the left being so crafty and being so sly, they see an opportunity to exploit these women with these incredibly dangerous, poisonous narratives.
Now, some of you probably emailing us.
You say, oh, come on, Charlie, it's not just women.
Like, hold on, you're right.
But the driving force of the religion of anti-racism is white women.
You want evidence?
Look at this.
Play cut 95.
This is what's called a struggle session.
This is a group of white women that pay a black activist to come in to teach them and challenge their worldview of how they actually might be racist.
They're paying for the berating of their own comfort.
This clip went viral a few months ago.
It is not a parody.
Play cut 95.
How many of you would trade places with a black person in this society?
Raise your hand.
I don't know the answer to that.
Well, it's yes or no.
How many of you would do it?
I know I wouldn't.
I think I would.
Absolutely.
Absolutely no.
Okay.
I'm not saying there's not racism.
Absolutely not.
It's just saying I don't see it.
Yeah, but you know how racist this country is.
Not to the degree that you do.
Oh, no, you will never know.
You know, in this country, we created the criminalization of black people.
And when your skin is seen as a weapon, you're never unarmed.
And that's why black boys and men and women are dying in the street with their hands up.
Yep.
It's such a lie.
By the way, they should have said, hey, would you want to be white?
The person who talks about being black all day long?
I would love to hear her answer to that.

Okay, so with all of that lead up, the religion of anti-racism and who unfortunately falls prey to this more than anybody else, which is suburban white women, which is exactly why the left targets them.
I have to share with you a series of tweets from the now ambassador to Afghanistan.
So this is not some sort of fringe character.
This is not some kind of just random person talking on social media.
No, this is somebody who represents the United States in diplomatic conversations and relations to the Afghan government.
So she's a white woman, unless she's like Rachel DeLazelle and I don't know, and she's, you know, transracial or whatever.
And so she sent out this tweet.
And by the way, she is obsessed with Black History Month.
Mind you, this is a woman who oversees a country that is currently under Taliban tyranny.
This is a woman that currently is ambassador to a nation that the biggest problem in Afghanistan right now is not racism.
And guess what?
The biggest problem in America is not racism.
Racism is evil and wrong.
But it's not the only thing that is evil and wrong.
In fact, there are things that are worse than being racist.
Being racist is bad.
But there are things that are even more evil than being a racist, like harming children.
That's worse than being a racist.
Now, our current society makes you believe that the core commandment is you cannot violate being a racist.
I hope you're not a racist.
You shouldn't be a racist.
It's a bad thing to be a racist.
But even the NFL, what do they have on their Super Bowl end zone?
End racism.
So this woman who is the ambassador of Afghanistan, Karen Decker, sent out one of the more bizarre tweets, and I didn't even know what this means.
She said, Are Afghans familiar with hashtag black girl magic and the movement it inspired?
Do Afghan girls need a similar movement?
What about Afghan women?
Teach me, ready to learn.
Hashtag Black History Month at Beyoncé at Lizzo at Regina King.
Don't know how helpful Lizzo would be, but I won't make that joke.
Abe Lincoln, born today in 1809, she said, he did some stuff.
This is an ambassador of the United States to Afghanistan, a white woman.
It's also NAACP Day, home of grassroots activism, inclusive communities, and making sure black voices are heard.
What does that look like for Afghans struggling to be heard?
She tweeted about the Super Bowl.
She can't stop tweeting about race.
This white woman diplomat to Afghanistan, all she thinks about is race all day long.
Not geopolitics, not the fact that Taliban leaders rape little boys and they call them T-boys, true fact.
Not the fact that women are generally mutilated, but about racism.
Guess what?
The biggest problem facing Afghanistan is not racism.
It could be called tribalism.
It could be called theocratic Islamic fascism.
It could be called pedophilia, but it's not racism.
But she is so programmed through a Western lens that all problems, all of the sins of the world come back to racism.
Guess what?
They're all related to one another basically in Afghanistan.
It's not racism.
They're not a multi-ethnic society.
I'm sure there's a difference of tribes.
I'm sure there's some linguistic differences.
But generally, the melanin content is approximately within the same calculation in Afghanistan.
She says, as I reflected on his legacy this week, it occurs to me to ask: who is Afghanistan's MLK?
What Afghan person, driven by their faith and a desire for peace, can lead the Afghan people to the mountaintop.
She said this.
She just doesn't stop.
Ruth Carter and Radha Akbar have a lot in common.
They both design clothing for superwomen.
I saw this exhibit in Kabul in 2020.
It was amazing.
Now, why is it that Afghanistan was such an unmitigated disaster and a failure?
And I want to remind you at how significant of a failure that was.
We have a piece of tape that will definitely animate you.
It's because people like her are filling our government.
Robin DiAngelo, Ibram X. Kendi, all of these ideas that we make fun of, like, oh, yeah, we shouldn't teach kid that.
Kids, your leaders believe them.
Play cut 94.
Why did you take the military out before the civilian contractors, diplomatic corps?
Why did you not consult with your NATO allies who had 8,000 troops that you left in a virgin?
We've seen heart-wrenching video imagery of torture and destruction, even though the left-wing media is covering up for Biden largely, not even addressing the rape and murder of Afghan allies.
The Taliban keeps broadcasting that they are Islamic purists, Islamic fundamentalists, they're religiously pious.
They're not.
After 20 years of the U.S. and Afghanistan, to withdraw in such an irresponsible way.
We can wave pride flags at the embassy and won't just Americanize them.
And that has never worked to store they group with a westernized view of the quality of the sexes.
And now they're going to go back into the dark ages.
Now they have brand new stuff.
They have military vehicles, our military vehicles.
What we call woke is directly at odds with competency.
Why?
Because competency, they believe, is white supremacist.
They believe that showing up on time, speaking correctly, having agreed upon language, all of these things have significant, actual material consequences.
Competency vs White Supremacy00:04:27
The ideology that we poke fun at that we are funding through these universities materializes in very significant ways.
So this woman who is the ambassador of Afghanistan, we laugh at her and we should.
But she's the United States representative to Afghanistan.
So you got to imagine them hearing this and they say, look, that's not really the biggest concern here.
You see, to reinforce this, and this is something that I hope all of you repeat to your friends and your family every time they talk about how racist America is, which we're not.
We're the least racist country ever to exist in the history of the world, is that they've led you to believe that if you violate the one commandment, don't be racist, that you should be excommunicated from all society.
No opportunity for redemption or for healing, mercy or for grace or for correction or for nuance, none of it.
You say something we don't like, we destroy your life.
Unless, of course, you're a Democrat, then you're perfectly fine.
You can wear a blackface.
You could say the N-word.
You could do all that sort of stuff.
It's perfectly fine.
But if you are in a political category they don't like, they will use the guillotine of anti-racism to cut your head off.
And they will do so without mercy, without forgiveness, and they will use it as a reason to quarantine you and your quarantine your career for the rest of your life.
We've basically reduced all of Western morality and our entire society, understanding of society to don't be racist.
That's the number one thing that they want to teach your kids.
Don't be racist.
When in reality, they're actually, they're basically making them more racist than ever before because they're starting to talk about race all the time.
Race means nothing to me, to be very clear.
It is not a characteristic I care about at all.
Now, this goes two ways.
It doesn't just mean that we're obsessed with racism now as a society to the exclusion of all else, which is really bad.
But even among other things that we should be caring about are just reduced through a racism-obsessed prison.
And I'll prove it to you because right now there's another train derailment in Detroit.
This will be fascinating now that there's a train derailment in Detroit, which is a heavy black population.
Will Pete Buttigieg and the federal government care about this train derailment with hazardous materials outside of Detroit more than the one that they have conveniently ignored and try to cover up with a control burn of incredibly dangerous chemicals now in the air in eastern Ohio?
This will be a great example.
Will the government mobilize FEMA, do a press release, and care now that a black population in Detroit, and if not, then okay, they don't care about anybody.
But Pete Buttigieg looks at everything that should be a very simple solution through a racist lens.
Remember the other day, Pete Budigej, while there was this massive issue happening in Ohio, do we have a tape of him saying there are not enough construction workers?
Budajej saying that there are not enough black construction workers.
That's the biggest problem is the color of the skin of construction workers.
They use the term racism as a thought-terminating cliché.
Anytime they say the word, you're supposed to stop thinking.
You're supposed to be obedient.
They use it as a way to control you, which is tragic because there are some people that are racist.
They're mainly on the left.
There are some people that are bigoted.
We have a supply and demand problem with racism in America, where we have far greater demand to find racists than actual supply of racists.
Do you want to enforce the law?
Racist.
Want to have merit-based hiring?
Racist.
Critical race theory and the religion of anti-racism is actually Marxism and totalitarianism that has been given a new veneer and a camouflage to be able to take the country because they think we're going to stop fighting against Marxism if they really just call it anti-racism.
We are so non-racist that we have a constant stream that you could set a watch to of fake hate crimes because people crave racist morality plays and are denied them by our non-racist reality.
We live in a decent country, but they're trying to convince you you live in a horrifically structurally racist one.
America's Spiritual Awakening00:06:19
I want to tell you guys about COVID tax relief.
COVID tax relief is an amazing service that exists for you because of Washington, D.C.'s addiction to overspending.
Again, I'm not a fan that this money exists or that's out there or that it's available, but as they say, it is what it is.
Look, COVIDtaxRelief.org got a small retail business, almost $80,000.
COVIDtaxRelief.org got a manufacturing business, nearly $250,000.
COVIDTaxRelief.org got a large distribution business, almost $900,000.
If you run a business, church or nonprofit, and paid your employees through all or part of the pandemic, you could qualify for up to $26,000 per employee through the Government Cares Act.
COVIDTaxRelief.org receives a low commission, very reasonable, only after you receive the money.
So go to covidtaxrelief.org.
That is covidtaxrelief.org, covidtaxrelief.org.
Check it out right now, covidtaxrelief.org.
There might be a revival happening right now, and it started in Ashbury, Ashbury College.
Is that how you pronounce it?
It's AS.
I don't know if there's an H, but maybe you just infer it.
Ashbury University in Kentucky.
And it's spreading to other campuses across the country, and it's spreading to other places across the country.
Now, what is a revival?
A revival is something you cannot plan.
It's not something that you can manufacture.
It just happens.
There have been incredibly powerful revivals in American history.
Fact, America would not exist as a nation if it was not for the First Great Awakening.
The First Great Awakening was the precursor to the American Revolution.
Before there was a revolution against Britain, there was a spiritual revolution led by Witherspoon, George Whitfield, Jonathan Mayhew, Jonathan Edwards.
I have right here on the wall, you guys can't see it, a picture of Jonathan Edwards and Whitfield.
Whitfield gave 30,000 open-air sermons.
And of course, the most famous by Jonathan Edwards, I have it up on the wall here, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.
Our country desperately needs a spiritual reset right now.
And so my good friend David Engelhart, who is a turning point USA board member and also a pastor in New York City, we weren't able to get him on the program, but he did text me this last night.
It was a very long text.
I'll read just the highlights.
He said, I sat in the overflow room and I wept.
I wept for my sins, for my shortcomings, for my confusion, and wept because of the kindness of God.
After an hour and a half, I left to eat lunch before my plane took off and dropped me off to the gray and godless wasteland of New York City.
What are my takeaways?
God is real.
You should seek him while he should be found.
But as it stands, Ashbury is drawing a kind of person who is not religious but is seeking.
That is a sign of a revival, everybody.
It's a sign of a revival when people that are otherwise just curious and they see this happening.
What is going on here?
In the overflow room, attendees kept coming and coming and coming.
Much of the audience was singing and weeping and repenting and kneeling.
The cynics are just calling this emotionalism and saying that this is just phenomenology that convinces you of religious religious experience.
There will always be cynics.
But I could tell you, as legit as it gets, there's something happening right now.
Now, why is it that I say, I hope, and I check it out?
Because sometimes there are people that claim a revival is happening, and it's a lot more sizzle than it is steak.
This is legit, and it's growing, and we need to help it grow.
We need to encourage people to participate, to show up, to try to spiritually pour in.
Look, you are a spiritual being.
You are more than just a material being.
There is a soul.
This is a struggle in our country between good versus evil.
And we need to engage in that invisible and spiritual dimension.
Praise God that this is happening.
And for any of the naysayers or the cynics or the mainstream media, if you type revival in, there's already cynical articles being written.
And there are now pilgrims coming from all across the country coming to this revival.
