Charlie Kirk (26:10)
What language. By Thomas Jefferson. Determined to keep open a market where men should be bought and sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain this execrable commerce, and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them by murdering the people on whom he has obtruded them, thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of one another. Now, that never made it into the final draft of the Declaration of Independence. This was in the original, the rough draft, written in Thomas Jefferson's own handwriting and capital letters. It didn't make it because John Hancock, in the original deliberation of the Declaration, said, if we can't agree on everything, we're not doing this because they're going to try to use something to divide us and cause a civil war amongst the colonies. Do I think that was a good thing? No. But that's why it happened. It's called history. But this idea that every Founding Father was completely on board for slavery is just not true. I could not write a more aggressive paragraph using language they used back then against the King of England than what Thomas Jefferson wrote in the rough draft of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson, also right when he became the third American President, signed a moratorium of no new slaves into the United States, a provision that allowed him to do that in the United States Constitution. So know your history. Joe Biden doesn't want you to know the history. That's why he got rid of the 1776 Commission. He thinks that's an evil year. Joe Biden and his band of radicals want you to focus on Nikole, Hannah Jones's nonsensical 1619 project. But somehow we were founded in 1619. We've always had slavery. All these institutions are instruments of white supremacy, and there's not even a conversation beyond that. Joe BIDEN Abolishing the 1776 Commission is just a symbol of how he's going to govern. Our past is wrong. Our history is flawed and not even worthy of appreciating. And anything Donald Trump did to preserve it, I will get rid of. Now, this next executive action is described by CNN by saying, quote, preventing workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Okay, not a big deal, right? Wrong. This executive order is one I really want to focus on. This executive order allows boys to play in girls sports. Matt Walsh from the Daily Wire has a phenomenal piece on this. And he says, quote, joe Biden, who for his first 65 or 70 years of his life showed no interest in trans issues and never hinted at a belief that biological males can be women if they feel like they are, has now become, after just one day in office, most radically pro trans president in history. At the ripe old age of 78, Biden is governing, much like a 19 year old college student who just took her first gender studies class might. Goes on to say that because of this executive order that the media is conveniently ignoring, no child should ever be denied access to the restroom, locker room or school sports by federal executive order. Basically, if you have a daughter and she's in soccer, if you have a daughter who's in girls basketball, her classmate who's a man can wake up one day full of testosterone and say, I want to compete against you. Oh, and I want access to your locker room. Basically allowing widespread gender chaos and potential perversion to occur. And I don't use that word lightly. Now, there's a way to deal with a transgender issue that is not this. And it's with compassion, reconciliation and counseling. It is not opening up our locker rooms and private areas for young women, and with that, young men, for people that are gender confused, that are still biologically and chromosomally formed as XX or XY into places of sports locker rooms or dressing rooms. And that brings me to our Thinker.org Book of the Week. T H I N K R.org A lot of people are asking, hey, Charlie, where do you get your information from? How do I get big ideas distilled? Well, go to thinker.org charlie and check out this. That's Abigail Shire's book, Irreversible Damage. Irreversible Damage. The Transgender Craze Seducing our daughters. It's thinker.org you guys can check it out. It talks about men are men and women are women. We have differences despite what document Joe Biden wants to sign to try to make you feel or think differently. And this executive order, as Matt Walsh puts in writing, says, quote, joe Biden's political brand has always been that of normal and decent. But these are neither normal Nor decent actions. These are actions of either a deranged, amoral pervert or else a hapless, gutless coward enacting someone else's agenda because he lacks the spine or mental capacity to do the right thing. In this case, I suspect the answer is a little bit of both. Well done, Matt Walsh. He's a podcaster also for the Daily Wire. Very smart guy. And so this executive order, and this is how CNN says, it, quote, prevents workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Wrong. It allows boys to go into girls locker rooms. It allows boys to compete against girls in soccer. That's Joe Biden's America. How does that heal the country? Exactly? Did Joe Biden go throughout Pennsylvania campaigning? Well, he didn't really do that much anyway. But when he did, and he say, hey, hey, you guys co workers, your daughters, you know what they're missing? Men in their locker rooms. Corn pop. Could you imagine Joe Biden by signing this executive action Executive order shows clearly that things he said on the campaign trail, this idea of unifying in unity was all a bunch of gibberish, balderdash, nonsense and garbage. It's a great way to divide the country, literally based on those of us that believe that men should not be allowed in women's locker rooms and vice versa, and that this transgender issue is being completely hijacked by political forces that are trying to destroy the idea of gender at all in our society. The next executive order, executive action, requires non citizens to be included in the census and appointment of congressional representatives. So let me rephrase. This requires illegal foreign national border jumpers to be include in the census and allow them to have congressional representation. So here's a question I always have for people. You look at a city like Las Vegas, Las Vegas has hundreds of thousands of tourists all around the world that come to Las Vegas, especially in February when it's Chinese New Year and a lot of people go to Vegas from China. Should those people be counting the census? They're in America at that time. They're actually more legal than the illegal foreign nationals. And you might say, well, they're not living here. Well, they're using our goods and services. Shouldn't they get congressional representation? They're in Las Vegas. The same can be said, though, for the people that illegally entered our country. They do not deserve congressional representation. They shouldn't be here in the first place. They broke our laws. They broke and entered into the United States. They cut in line. And what this does is this cheapens the rule of law. And delegitimizes the process of how we actually get representation in our country. Never did the Founding Fathers envision a scenario where people could illegally domicile themselves into their country and somehow get congressional representation. Next Executive order fortifies daca. After Trump's efforts to undo protections for the illegals brought into the country as children, basically upholding daca, this is going to be the biggest fight, everybody, Immigration. So get ready, buckle up. Amnesty is coming. We're going to have to fight it. We're going to push, metaphorically fight it, push back against it on this program. Amnesty is going to be their very, very big push. Next executive action. Yes, I'm not done yet. They've been very busy trying to radically redefine our country. Reversing the Trump administration's restrictions on the US Entry for passport holders from seven Muslim majority countries. Reversing Trump's restrictions in the midst of a pandemic on the seven Muslim majority countries that was upheld actually as constitutional. Next Executive order undoes Trump's expansion of immigration enforcement within the United States. If you're here illegally, you're gonna be okay. But you know what Trump's expansion of immigration enforcement actually was about? That they're gonna lie to you about going after the murderers, the felons, the rapists, the child sex traffickers, the narcotic traffickers, and the drug smugglers that were here illegally. That's who ICE was going after. This idea that ICE was going into the local Catholic church of Our lady of Guadalupe in El Paso, Texas, and arresting and deporting 87 year old grandmas is nonsense. ICE was focusing their efforts on drug smugglers that were in Chandler and Gilbert and Phoenix, Arizona that were smuggling narcotics and breaking the law. That's who they were focusing on. But Joe Biden's America, ICE is going to become nothing more than a glorified tsa. ICE is going to be nothing more than just like, oh, welcome to America. Next executive action. Halting the construction of the border wall by terminating the national emergency declaration used to fund it. Joe Biden basically saying, our borders are going to remain open. You can flood into our country. We are not going to do anything in any way, shape or form whatsoever to stop you from coming into America. By the way, that means we're not going to try and stop child sex trafficking, we're not going to try and stop guns coming into the country. We want our borders open. That's Joe Biden's America. Next Executive action. Extending deferrals for deportation, work authorizations for Liberians are the safe haven in the United States until June 30, 2022. I don't know why Liberia was singled out. America and Liberia actually have a shared history. The capital of Liberia is Monrovia, named after James Monroe. There was an African nationalist movement that popped up, I want to say, about 150 years ago. Monroe is the fifth president. It happened around there where blacks wanted to go back to Africa. And Liberia, actually the term liberty, like liberation, was supposed to be a free country in Africa. Maybe Liberia is going through something right now. I don't know. I'll look into it. Maybe it's a drought or a famine. Maybe it's some conflict. I think maybe it's something like that. Our team just actually sent this to me right now. Liberian immigrants has a community, has community in Philly, hopeful. And so there's 400 Liberians living in Pennsylvania. They want green cards. Joe Biden has announced he would fix it his first day in office. It's the Liberian Refugee Immigration Fairness Program. I guess it was a really big focus for those people living in Philadelphia, electorally, that's my guess. And so I have nothing against Liberian people at all. I'm just kind of confused why this is getting singled out. Okay, next one. Almost there. Requiring executive branch appointees to sign an ethics pledge, barring them from acting in personal interest and requiring them to uphold the independence of the Department of Justice. This is the one thing on this list. 1 out of 30. I will applaud Joe Biden on if this actually gets upheld. Doubtful if this actually gets enforced. Skeptical. This is a good thing. Cleaning up ethics and corruption in government, regardless of who does that or what party, deserves to be commended. President Trump did similar executive orders as this. But this is a good thing. And the fact Joe Biden has signed an ethics pledge for other people is very good. And by the way, this also applies to his son. This now basically shows that he will have no meetings, no conversations, no interference, and no inside information of the Department of Justice inquiry and subpoena and investigation into Hunter Biden. I applaud him for that. Pretty bold, but I applaud him for that. And the first executive order that Joe Biden signed directed the Office for Management Budget Director to develop recommendations to modernize regulatory review and undo Trump's regulatory approval process. Basically, what America needs right now is more regulation. That's basically what this is. All this deregulation, freeing up the economy, opening things up. Cut that out. Basically, this executive order, the first one he signed in The President's room in the United States Senate. That one is all about adding red tape and regulation to our country. So what is the essence of all this? All 30 of these executive orders, backtracking on promises, radicalizing the country on transgender issues, globalizing America, destroying American sovereignty, and yes, one good thing, the ethics issue, that's about it. But Joe Biden is working pretty unilaterally, not even trying to worry about Congress. Because you know what? Congress is too focused on impeaching the former President of the United States. And if Joe Biden wants to unite the country, and I don't think he listened to this program, but a lot of you guys have social media followings and you guys can get a little bit of a drumbeat and chatter on this. If he want, if he wants to unite this country, if he really wants to bring people together. You know how you do that? You say, this impeachment is not going forward. Instead, pass my Chinese coronavirus relief bill. Joe Biden is choosing to allow the Senate to go through with what could be an unconstitutional impeachment. And that's our next question here@freedom.charliekirk.com I know that first question was quite long as we go through all 30 executive actions. But again, a lot of you have emailed us. You said, charlie, I'm not going to watch the news anymore. I'm just going to go through you. Well, I just went through your news update for the week, I think more comprehensively than anyone else. And we're going to remain positive despite Joe Biden with a samurai sword going through our country, trying to tear everything down. Okay, the essence of the question here is, hey, Charlie, do you think that impeachment is going to proceed? What's the plan? It's a long question. And this is from Brett from Texas. So my friend Kelly Shackelford, who I've done a couple episodes with, super smart, he texted me this last evening, and I want to read this to you. And I think it's really interesting, which is, quote, I believe it's unconstitutional to impeach a former president. The Constitution requires Chief Justice Roberts. When the president is tried, slashed, impeached. Kelly Shackelford predicts the Chief justice will not show up because he won't be part of, of the unconstitutional action. We will see. So basically, Chief Justice Roberts should not show up to this trial. He should say, I will not oversee this impeachment trial. It's not a current officer. It's unconstitutional. And that will tell us a lot. If John Roberts turns up, shows up that will tell us a lot about the constitutionality of this impeachment. Here's a question from Jenna. Hey, Charlie, where do you get your information from? I'm a senior in high school and I want to be informed, but I don't know where to go to be truly informed. These days, it's super difficult to look up stuff on Google and find reliable website that isn't biased. Well, first of all, thank you for listening to our program. And we try to be that source of information. You guys can also, I don't know if you know about this CharlieKirk.com, we're posting articles there all the time. I encourage you guys to check it out@charliekirk.com and look, the reason we're able to do all that kind of information processing and research, we have a whole team of researchers that is they're constantly diving into documents, making phone calls, talking to sources. We've kind of become this own pseudo, you know, news opinion operation. Obviously, we have opinions. We're not gonna act as if we're the Washington Post and we have no opinions. We're just. No, we're very much conservatives here. We get that. But we also are fact first people, and we try to be very fair. And you guys, when you Support us@charliekirk.com support you make all that possible. But I recommend JustTheNews.com, realClearPolitics. The Wall Street Journal generally does a pretty good job, I have to say. They've become a little more snarkily liberal lately, but they generally do a pretty good job. Stay away from New York Times. Stay away from Washington Post. Stay away from some of these message boards, these fringe stuff. It's not helpful message boards for conservatives. That's our version of the New York Times. Don't do that. It's all nonsense, narrative driven drivel. Okay, next question. Joe Biden is making waves for replacing a bust of Winston Churchill with, with a bust of Eleanor Roosevelt and Cesar Chavez. He also replaced a portrait of Andrew Jackson with fdr. The Washington Post did an entire piece on this. My question, say, hypothetical, you're elected president, what portraits are you hanging? What bust are you displaying in the Oval Office? I didn't even read this question beforehand. Okay, well, I would have definitely the bust of Winston Churchill back there. Winston Churchill saved Western civilization. Winston Churchill is one of the most under, one of the least understood, least appreciated figures of the 20th century. I would have George Washington, who's the father of our country, and I believe a true humble servant. And then I'd have Ronald Reagan. That's who I would have. And so that would be my trifecta. And I definitely would not have Cesar Chavez, let's put it that way. I would also maybe have DWIGHT D. Eisenhower, General MacArthur. And if I kind of had to pick our equivalent of a labor leader or philosopher or writer boy, I would have to probably pick going all the way back to the founding of our country. I would probably pick. Yeah, let me think about this. Probably Thomas Jefferson. I'm a big Thomas Jefferson fan. Oh, Teddy Roosevelt. I would definitely have Teddy Roosevelt around. I'm a big Teddy Roosevelt fan for different reasons than people might think. I've done a podcast on that before. I will do one again, but I don't want to repeat it.
