We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries lives and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. We are crisscrossing the country. We've been in Texas, we've been in Idaho, we've been in Oklahoma. And now we are in the great state of Missouri where we are speaking on campuses across the country. The country is open because we say it's open and people seem to be enjoying themselves. We had a great event in Oklahoma City. The governor of Oklahoma, great guy, joined us and and we enjoyed 450 people last night standing room only. I think there were maybe two masks in the whole room and people loved it and they enjoyed was an optimistic event despite all of the nonsense happening in our country. We'll be in Kentucky tomorrow, we'll be in Nashville next week with the great Candace Owens and then we'll be in Vegas, then San Jose after that. We have a country to save and we are going to keep on working every single day to make that possible. The top news story of the day continues to be the atrocity in Boulder, Colorado, right after the tragedy, right after the shooting, the activist media was quick to try to categorize this as a racially motivated incident. In fact, Kamala Harris's niece, Mina Harris, came out and tweeted this quote, the Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago. Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country. Now, of course, this is not true. The shooter was not a white man. He was a Muslim, a Syrian immigrant to our country who killed 10 people. Nina Harris then went on Twitter and her correction was almost worse than her actual original statement, which is a pretty stunning thing to say. Now, this is the niece of the Vice President of the United States making a remarkably bigoted statement, stereotyping someone immediately as being a violent white man. She said this. I deleted a previous tweet about the suspect in the Boulder shooting. I made an assumption, based on his being taken into custody alive, that the majority of mass shootings in the United States are carried out by white men. She's admitting that just because he was taken alive, she used prejudice and stereotypes to categorize him as a violent white man. But this sort of bigotry and this sort of over racialization of every single incident is intentional. Barack Hussein Obama, the former President of the United States, came out and said that what happened in Boulder is because of racism and misogyny. I'm paraphrasing. That's the essence of his, of his remarks. Tucker Carlson went after Barack Obama last evening, calling him a racial arsonist. Let's play tape.

D
More than any other contemporary American leader, Barack Obama is a racial arsonist. He emerges at our most vulnerable moments to deepen the wounds that divide us. He sows hate. Today, Obama took a break from becoming one of the richest men in the world to issue a statement blaming racism and misogyny for today's killings. So a guy who appears to be white shoots a group of white people and Barack Obama calls it racism. How exactly does that work? Can you speak slowly and tell us
- [05:02]
A
Tucker Carlson is a political poet? I don't say that lightly. His ability to make arguments in concise, precise and memorable ways is one of the greatest gifts I've seen in the history of cable television. And that's why the activist media hates him so much. They don't hate him because he's allegedly racist or any of that. They know that Tucker Carlson isn't. Instead, they hate him because he's able to synthesize very big ideas in 30 second sound bites. Barack Obama is a racial arsonist. So I'm reading this New York Times article. And it basically says that we're trying to find a motive for the shooter. I mean, this is almost like a Monty Python SNL skit. Ahmad Al Awi Alisa with 10 counts of first degree murder, which in Colorado carries a penalty of life imprisonment without parole. Law enforcement officials say Mr. Alyssa had been armed with a handgun and military style semiautomatic rifle and was wearing an armored vest when he carried out the attacks in the King superstore in Boulder's Table Mesa neighborhood. And then the byline of the story is, authorities seek a motive. They're never, they're never slow to seek a motive when it's not a radical Islamic fundamentalist killing Americans. No, you see, in Atlanta, despite the evidence pointing to the contrary, they said this must be racially motivated, even though we know it hasn't been. You see, the Democrats, they're uninterested in governing. They do not want to pass any sort of public policy measures that benefit Americans or improve the American way of life. Instead, they are solely focused on sowing a racial division in our country. And that's exactly what Barack Obama did when he released his statement. And that's what the New York Times is doing now. Are we going to now have a robust conversation on Islamic fundamentalism in our country? Do you remember the San Bernardino shooter? Was it six years ago? Five or six years ago, he was also an Islamic fundamentalist. Are we going to talk about our immigration policies as a result of this? Of course not. So now that the racial twist to this incident and this atrocity no longer is an option, they are now going for the gun control twist. They are now going to try to create a national gun confiscation debate around this. And this is predictable. We've, we've gone through this before and we're going to win this argument. I was pleased to see Senator Kennedy from Louisiana draw the line in the sand. Cut 30. But you don't stop drunk drivers by getting rid of all sober drivers, which is what many of my Democratic sense friends want to do with respect to the Second Amendment. In my judgment, we do not need more gun control. We need more idiot control. Well said, Senator Kennedy. And I can't forget also the Pulse nightclub, which was also done by an Islamic fundamentalist. Also, this shooter in Boulder, Colorado, hated Donald Trump, posted favorable articles about Ronan Farrow and his journalistic work, was a big fan of the Washington Post. So all of a sudden, are we now going to do the guilt by association thing with the entire activist media that does that to us every single day. Of course not. That would be unfair. But according to their own book of standards, the activist media inspired the shooter to go out and kill people. You go look at his social media feed of which Facebook was very quick to delete. Very quick to delete. He was anti Trump, anti American, pro Islamic fundamentalist, and also read the Washington Post, quite often shared their articles. Joy Reid is trying to frame the debate for gun confiscation. She had some fool on. I don't know who this is. This goes to show that Joy Reid has no understanding or appreciation of the United States Constitution, what it says, its intention, and what it seeks to achieve. Play tape.

B
The NRA tried to tweet out today, thinking they were dropping the mic, tweeting out the text of the second Amendment. The text of the second Amendment includes the words well regulated. And it talks about militias. It is irrelevant to gun reform from what is being talked about in places like in Congress, in the United States Senate and in the House. Would you like to see the United States Senate get rid of the filibuster in order to pass what, like 70% of even Republicans want universal background checks? Do you think that the Senate should just dead the filibuster so that they can actually pass it?
- [09:54]
A
Joy Reid's not a very smart person and so she has a cable television show, for what reason, I don't know. And by the way, if you go look at Joy Reid's history, you want to talk about cancel culture, go look at Joy Reid's bigoted past where she posted anti Semitic, anti gay posting on her website and she said she was hacked. And how does she get rewarded? By being an angry person on a 7pm slot saying absolute foolish nonsense. And in the coming segments, I'm going to build out the constitutional argument of what does well regulated militia mean? Who was a militia person back when the Constitution was written? You see, to be an originalist, you must take the context of what the founding fathers intended. And I always get such a chuckle out of this because the left, they hate the Constitution, they want to put it through a shredder and all of a sudden they're trying to lecture us on originalist, textualist, constitutional intent, as if they actually care about what the Constitution aims to achieve. I saw some images on Fox News the other day and I just took a pause and I asked a very obvious question because we've been seeing these images on social media of the border jumpers and the illegals that are wearing these shirts that say biden let us in And I took a quick pause, I said, wait a second, who's paying for these T shirts on the live stream? Let's try to get a picture of this if we can, just so the people that are watching they can have an understanding of this. You've probably seen these images. And so Business Insider a couple days ago came out with this story. Migrants waiting at the US Mexico border have been photographed wearing T shirts that say, Biden, let us in. And I read this entire article by Business Insider, and I even read the article by the Wall Street Journal, but no one asks the most obvious question. Who is actually behind the logistics of designing, paying for, and printing these T shirts for these people on the southern border? That's a very important question. And it's not just, oh, it's a couple hundred dollars here. You're talking about a massive volume of a public relations stunt to have people possibly illegally enter into our country. So you look at this picture here, and they're all on their knees and it says, Biden, please let us in. Kneel and pray at the US Mexico border with the Biden logo actually in it. And it just strikes me, how does that one journalist in the country find this to be an interesting story? That's a pretty compelling case, isn't it, that you have some ngo, some non government organization, there it is right there in the live stream that would say, who's paying for these T shirts? And it's a broader question of, do we have a network that is subsidizing, that is encouraging illegal border entry into our country? The answer is yes. If you look at the research and if you look at the amount of nonprofit groups where their mission is to assist illegal border entry into the country, it will stun you. And the fact the activist media isn't covering it is not surprising. But it's so obvious. So why would a US Based nonprofit get involved in this sort of work? Here are some of them that do this. Obviously, the aclu, United We Dream, the American Immigration Council, the National Immigration Law center, the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, and International Rescue Committee, they are all NGOs, non government organizations that sometimes receive government funding and private money from George Soros and Bill and Melinda Gates and the multi trillionaire class to subsidize illegal entry into our country, to subsidize lawlessness. This is more than a massive public scandal and it's right in front of us. And yet we're supposed to accept the fact that 200 prosecutors go to work every single day in New York while violent Crime is going up, by the way, to investigate Donald Trump's taxes. There are 300. I'm sorry. There are hundreds of nonprofits, groups and churches, mostly Catholic, with billion dollar budgets, that are involved in eliminating America's borders and trying to create a global governance. They're aided by your corporations. They're aided by Silicon Valley CEOs and Hollywood elites. Our southern border is being delegitimized by our own dollars. Have you ever seen a case of a superpower that so voluntarily wishes to be taken over by other cultures and other countries? That's what's happening right now on the southern border. And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, it's not that they won't even admit that anything's happening on the southern border. They won't even visit the southern border. But they like what's happening on the southern border. You see these groups that are sending out these shirts that literally say, biden, let us in, handing them to these people that want illegal entry into our country. That's perfectly fine. Meanwhile, the activist press, they are relentless in investigating and looking into anything on the center right of our country. The estimated cost of resettling these people over five years is over $8.8 billion. The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Huffington Post, buzzfeed, they don't do any investigation into the flow of foreign nationals into our country and the subsidizing of it. That is subsidizing lawbreaking. That's subsidizing the deterioration of American sovereignty. It's one of the most obvious issues that's happening in our country. The question is, who's paying for the T shirts? That's something that should be repeated by every single Republican in Congress and on television. Who's paying for these T shirts? Where'd they come from? It's against the law to subsidize and support the act of breaking a law. You can make a conspiracy charge against it, but instead you get lifted up as if you're doing the act of the generous and benevolent left wing activists in our country.

I got a push notification on this article on Apple News, which, by the way, Apple gets a complete hall pass at times that they don't deserve when it comes to how they're pushing certain news articles into the mainstream and into the zeitgeist, into people's devices. And this is the article Scared for life to go back to normal. You're not alone. Now, we predicted this on our program. We predicted that people are gonna want to stay locked down, that people are gonna want to remain in a position of being taken care of. It says, quote, earlier this month, President Biden announced that all American adults will be eligible to receive the COVID 19 vaccine by May 1st. Continues by saying almost immediately, conversations about restaurants people would visit, what outwits outfits they would wear picked up with a new urgency. But what if you're too scared to RSVP? Elena Nikolau, 26 years old, explains quote, so now that it may soon be over, I should be the one talking about putting on a bikini and walking outside. But I'm not. I often feel the need to pretend I'm more excited than I am, says Chicago based journalist Emma Sarina Webster, 35 years old, quote, inside, I'm feeling all sorts of mixed up about it. Even just seeing people on social media gets me so triggered. That's what she says right here in the article. It triggers her. So let me just say this to the world. We've been living in normal. At least I have since last May. We've done over 150 live events across the country. I've traveled over 40 states. Things are fine if you're under the age of 30 and you think like this, you have been propagandized. Do you know what's so interesting? I actually find that some young people are actually more worked up about the virus than certain old people. It's because we're creating the softest generation in American history. There's a lot of different reasons for that. We've talked about that in our program last week. It's the feminization of our country, quite honestly. And we have the weakest men that I have ever seen. Actually, a good exception to that is we're in Oklahoma, Missouri and Kentucky. It's still some good Midwestern culture of against the feminization of our country. But it continues by saying and this is an article that was push notified to almost every iPhone across the country. Are you scared to go out? Let me just be very clear. Liberty is hard. Fear is normal. It's what being wise and being brave has always been. The story of what has made Western civilization different. And by the way, once things reopen, you can stay at home. No one's forcing you to leave your house. You could have agorapho phobia. You know what agoraphobia is? Fear of leaving your home. It continues by saying that she feels Brooklyn based student and freelance journalist Shelby hall feels the same quote, this time with myself and those closest to me has brought out more of my drive and relentless passion. I I wouldn't want to go away when things go back to normal. She adds that her common schedule of working nine to five makes her feel like her life is boring. It continues by saying that more adult children have moved back with their parents than ever before. One way to gain that courage is try to construct new social boundaries for yourself, Dr. Hung suggests. This is so evil. I want you to hear this, Shelby Dewees. She says that she's looking forward to hugging her parents and sister when this is all over. You're trying to tell me you haven't hugged your, you haven't seen your parents and your sister in the last year? What's wrong with you? You're 28 years old. You've been self isolating and they've been self isolating. If you got the virus, it would be like the immaculate inoculation. It's there's 28 years old, she hasn't seen her parents in a year. But then she confides with Refinery29 that there are some interactions she's very nervous about. Quote, small talk in elevators, at parties and during lunch at my workplace. And a few of the many instances that would always stir up my anxiety even before the pandemic. Now that it's been just a year since I've had practice in this, I'm not looking forward to readjusting. That's right. Let's just keep you away from other human beings. That is the solution. According to Refinery29. Quote I have not socialized with anyone face to Face except for my husband and and my two pet rabbits for a year.

E
Yeah.

This is a marriage that's going to last. I'm so grateful that I have been able to work from home safely and that an end in sight for this deadly pandemic. But I'm also fearful that many of the things I miss Going to group fitness classes, volunteering, dinner parties, board game nights will be excruciatingly difficult. Why? What do people even talk about? I don't know what books they're reading. Not if the virus is raging in your recent county hall is also worried about this return to socializing. Quote I've always been a homebody, but I've grown to treasure it all the more. I just don't know how I'll be comfortable out in the world. You understand what we've done here? We have created permanent anxiety and stress to an entire generation that largely should not have been concerned about the Chinese coronavirus. This is social conditioning by the ruling class and the elites in this country. And Dr. Fauci is responsible for this nonsense. So where does this lead us? What is the furthest conclusion of this? And by the way, this is like a six page article here that was pushed through Apple News. Scared for life to go back to normal. You're not alone. We've been back to normal since May. Turning Point Action. We hosted a 3000 person in person event with no masks, no social distancing back in June. We've hosted events all across the country. Hosted our student Action Summit in December. It's a decision to be free. Of course there's costs. We're here in beautiful Missouri right now. We drove to the station this morning. You know, over 50,000 people die on the road every single year. It's a risk we were willing to take. It continues by saying as a recent college graduate trying to desperately be hired. I'm experiencing extreme anxiety about having to go back into the world of early 20 somethings on their path of success. Says Amanda, who is 22, unemployed and currently living in Arizona with her parents. Quote as much as I hate it, the pandemic has acted like some sort of shield against the anxiety and scrutiny of not being where I need to be right now. I'm dreading a lunch or coffee chat where we go around describing our jobs or even complaining about them. You see what's happening here. These people are basically admitting they've been given a gift to not mature. That they can be perpetual grown infants. That's what she says here. And this word anxiety keeps on Getting repeated. Another layer of post pandemic social anxiety revolves around the fact that for many people there is no way to simply flip a switch and suddenly feel completely safe partying. I'm going to say something very controversial. We over diagnose this anxiety thing in our country. We do. Now, do some people have legitimate anxiety issues? Of course. We play into it far too much. The article is another quote by this Webster person. For the past year we've been told to avoid other people, stay away from crowds, be extra aware of any possible signs of illness. So now the idea of going into restaurants, socializing with groups of friends, indoors of all places, even walking around down crowded sidewalk just feels so daunting and dangerous. It's the real quotes. This person's 28 years old and it actually has gone. It's actually very instructive to me because we've been living a free and open and happy life over the last 11 months because we know exactly what this virus is. And if you get it, you take certain therapeutics, vitamin D, zinc, hydroxychloroquine, stay away from those you love, you take proper precautions and you understand that there's a risk in life. But life, a full life, is worth living. Not being masked and living at home, but where I just get anxiety talking about my job, a coffee chat where we go around describing our jobs or even complaining about them. It continues. Perhaps though, because it's so hard to put life on pause. When did people manage to do it successfully? Why would I want to press play again? You know I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but if I wanted to create an entire generation that didn't want to be self reliant, marry and be adventurous into the world and get government subsidies and vote Democrat, I would do this. Not saying that's what their intention was, but if that was my intention, this is what I would do. Dr. Hung, who should be completely kicked out of any sort of decent circles, let me just tell you what he said. For some, the pandemic has been a window into a different world of what could be. In a normal world you have these sets of expectations for yourself. And then in a non normal world, so to speak, you shift those expectations accordingly. What helps us realize that the ones are setting those expectations? You can actually shift those expectations anytime. Nicole, this woman Nicol, who's 28 years old says that she doesn't think she's ready to go back into the world, that her social anxiety might be too much. You understand what we've done here to an entire generation oh, and it does say that some names have been changed in this article, so of course. So I'll just call it person A or person B. Living in a free society and living with liberty is tough. How do you create toughness, adversity? We have created the most fragile, brittle generation in American history. Instead of telling young people, look, you might get the virus. You're most likely not going to die unless you're overweight and have underlying health conditions. Go live a good life. Don't be dumb said we did the opposite. We've propagandized and hypnotized young people in particular to believe that this virus is lurking around the corner and will destroy their life. I can honestly say in the last year I've had some of the greatest experiences of my entire life. If I would have allowed the medical establishment, the propagandists to dictate my human action and my behavior, I wouldn't have spoken over 50 churches over the last year. I wouldn't have been able to meet hundreds of Turning Point USA leaders. We would not have been able to host the President as we did in Phoenix, Arizona. I wouldn't have been able to bring people to Jesus Christ like we did at churches across the country. We wouldn't have been able to launch this radio show if we were acting like this. Life is a very difficult endeavor. You see, there's a deeper philosophical point being made here, which is that we have told young people that if you vote for the right politicians and you believe the right ideas, we can change the atmosphere around you to accommodate your wishes. Instead, we should tell young people, life is a brutal exercise. Make yourself tougher, make yourself wiser, go out in the world and make something of yourself. What I read in this article right here is so incredibly disturbing about the current trajectory of our country that you have 26 year olds that are saying that they're not even sure if they're ever going to leave the house again. That it gives them social anxiety. And it tells me exactly what I have learned in the last year. People don't want to be free. There's an attraction to having an excuse to be lazy and to be sedentary. That's what the virus has given it's give people an excuse to not have to go out and conquer and create and be responsible for your actions. Responsibility is hard. It's time to open up the country fully and force people to be responsible again. How many times have you seen these signs? Especially in upper middle class neighborhoods? Love is love. Love everyone always. If you remember during the gay marriage debates. That was one of the most compelling arguments allegedly from the gay marriage advocates. Well, love is love. Who are you to get in the way of that? And something that Dennis Prager and many people that believe in traditional marriage said is, wait, well, wait a second. Where does this stop? And a prediction was made that polygamist style relationships will be allowed very soon. And of course, anyone who said that was immediately kicked off television and considered to be a slippery slope fallacy. Conspiracy theorist. Well, right now, according to Breitbart.com, cambridge, Massachusetts, has now passed measures to recognize domestic partnerships of more than two people. The Massachusetts city of Cambridge has put in a measure that recognizes domestic partnerships of more than two people, euphemistically referring to them as polyamorous families, which in practice means the sexual relationship between multiple adults in one household. There's a picture of three men that are raising. Looks like two children. Continues by saying, there's a whole legal organization called the Polyamory Legal Advocacy Coalition, which gave input concerning the change in Cambridge. No coincidence that this is where Harvard University is. Harvard has no wisdom because they have no God and they're only continuing in this quest of chaos. The Christian Post says, quote, a domestic partnership in the city that is home to Harvard University is now defined as the entity formed by two or more persons who are not related and, quote, consider themselves to be a family. See, this is what happens when you start to destroy traditions that have stood the test of time. All of a sudden, well, why shouldn't marriage just be a group of people? Why should a child be raised to believe that there's a man and woman raising them? And if it's a daughter, it's a man who they one day want to emulate, who they will marry, and a mother who they will emulate to be, and vice versa if it's a son. But no. According to Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Polyamory Legal Advocacy Coalition says that it hopes it will have, quote, a wave of legal recognition for polyamorous families and relationships in 2021. Do you want to know why the conservative movement is becoming more socially conservative? Because, like garbage like this, you wanna know why people are now seeking tradition and institutions that do not change. Do you wanna know why people get so frustrated when conservatives even give one inch to the transgender nonsense? It's because you start to see this steady moral erosion, the quest to destroy things at work. A war on natural law. Ed Vida Gelanio. Apologize if I mispronounced that. Executive vice president of the American Family association said, quote, once you reject the biblical model for human sexuality, marriage and family when it comes to homosexuality, there is no logical stopping place. And he's right. He continues by saying polygamy and polyamory are acceptable. This return to pagan sexuality began with a rejection of God and his word was. Unfortunately for the people of Massachusetts and eventually the people of this nation, paganism leads to barbarism. These fights are coming to you very soon. And is love just love? Or maybe the construct of what government needs to say is that the proper way for children to be raised are not by some sort of collective partnership with three men in Cambridge, Massachusetts. That is not what our government should tolerate or stand for. This is a social and moral decline that must be stopped. Now. We should be unafraid to say that this is now going to spread all across the country. Right now, Cambridge, Massachusetts has passed the measure to recognize domestic partnerships of more than two people. You heard it here first. It's coming all across the country. She is one of the most powerful voices for faith, family and for freedom. Someone I know very well. We had a lot of fun together for a couple years at Turning Point usa and she's doing awesome. And she's a frequent guest of the show. We have an upcoming campus tour. It's Candace Owens and I want to tell you Candace has joined the powerful lineup at the Daily Wire. Great company launching a new show where talk show meets late night. She'll continue to call out leftist lies and the corruption of media and big tech. So join Candice each week as she welcomes powerful voices, talk about the most critical issues, break down what's actually happening in our country and trust me, you're going to laugh a lot too. Candace is unfiltered and quite honestly, un cancelable. Even as she says all the things other on the right wing are afraid to say. Candace is a dear friend. She's a fighter. She loves our country. And I know all of you love supporting Candace Owens. So here's how you do it. Her full show is available to Daily Wire members only. Use code Charlie and get 25% off your daily Wire membership now.

It's really important to walk through this play. Cut.

A
First of all, Joy Reid doesn't know what she's talking about. That's not a huge surprise. So let's go to this phrase, well regulated militia. What did that phrase mean when this was written? Well, first of all, who was a militia? So the sloppy argument is, well, a militia was obviously government forces. That's not true. A militia was anyone ages 18 and older as a man in the entire country that was considered to be the minute militia or the minute men who could be called upon at any moment's time to try and protect the homeland, try to protect against invaders, so on and so forth. But let's read the entire Second Amendment as is. But before we do that, we have to talk about that. Justice Antonin Scalia rightly pointed out the Second Amendment refers to the right of the people and that when that language is used anywhere else in the Bill of Rights in the first or Fourth Amendments, it means that a right belongs to every individual as opposed to a collective with special properties such as a militia. So you go back to how the sentence is actually written. It says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. That's known as the operative clause. Whereas the well regulated militia aspect of it is the prefatory clause, which is the gun regulators say that's the only reason for preserving the right to key and bear arms. Which is as opposed to one of the reasons. That's a very important distinction. It's a great article. Reason.com, brian Doherty wrote this. And so when you go through the precedent of what the court has ruled on this, the most important ruling in Recent memory was DC versus Heller, where the United States Supreme Court upheld the decision that owning a firearm was a constitutionally protected right. Heller said that the government cannot enforce laws that prevent most Americans from possessing commonly used weapons in their homes for self defense. So Dr. Robert Cottrell, who was the editor of the book Gun Control in the Constitution, he also went through and said that the words well regulated sometimes refer to proficiency and top notch training. He said, quote, this was written at a time when there was relatively little in the way of formal training and marksmanship on the part of armies and usually less on the part of militias. The idea was that the familiarity gained with weapons in private pursuits would translate into a militia that could be mobilized when needed. The entire idea is basically this. The second amendment as the founding fathers wrote it and intended it, original intent means everything for those of us that are textualists was that it doesn't mean well regulated, meaning government regulated. It means that first of all, the right of the people is the operative part of the sentence shall not be infringed. And who is the militia? Basically everyone is the militia. So it goes back to a deeper point. What is the intent of the second amendment? Was the intent for hunting, was the intent for self defense? No. The true intent of the second amendment was to fight back against potential government tyranny. The intent of the second amendment was to have free people be able to protect all the other amendments without the second amendment there are no other amendments. There is no first amendment without the second amendment. The second amendment is the amendment that protects every other rights that we enjoy given to us by God. And this is a debate that we have over and over again. Senator Ted Cruz cut 31, said that every time there is a shooting we play this ridiculous theater play cut 31.
- [40:06]
F
And every time there's a shooting, we play this ridiculous theater where this committee gets together and proposes a bunch of laws that would do nothing to stop these murders. What happens in this committee after every mass shooting is Democrats propose taking away guns from law abiding citizens because that's their political objective. But what they propose, not only does it not reduce crime, it makes it worse.
- [40:34]
A
And unwokenarrative.com, who we have plugged a couple times on this program debunks exactly what the media is saying. Did you know that Colorado has some of the strictest gun laws in the country? There are universal background checks, they banned large capacity gun magazines. They had red flag gun control laws. They have boyfriend loophole that was closed. The gun show loophole that was Closed the mental adjudication which prohibits firearm ownership, restraining orders prohibiting firearm ownership, an extended background check period, a state database for all background checks and countless gun free zones. So one of the biggest arguments from the left is, well, we need a waiting period after you buy a weapon. Well, this guy committed the murder a week after he bought the weapon. So it wasn't like he just bought the weapon on the way to doing this atrocity. So that wouldn't have any sort of application there. But here's a deeper question. If he was on the FBI watch list, why didn't they intervene? You see, the Democrats should be focusing their attention on, on that question, not on a gun registry effort to try and potentially confiscate weapons from law abiding citizens. Now, Kamala Harris has come out and obviously said, well, I don't want to take your weapons. I mean come on, cut 27.
- [41:52]
G
And I believe that it is possible, it has to be possible that people agree that these slaughter have to stop. And this is again, reject the false choice and stop pushing it for sure. Stop pushing the false choice that this means everybody's trying to come after your guns. That is not what we're talking about.
- [42:14]
A
So what are you talking about? You're talking about a universal registry. You're talking about restricting assault weapons, which is a made up term altogether. This is about coming after guns. And remember, Democrats all but admitted it. And in the next segment we are going to play tape of Robert Francis o'. Rourke. We're gonna play tape of leading Democrats that have admitted what their true agenda when it comes to firearms is. So Senator Kamala Harris. I'm sorry, Vice President Kamala Harris. Boy, it's hard to get used to that, isn't it? I guess she's President Kamala Harris, is that right? It's hard to get. I actually meant it was completely unintentional. It was a slip. It was with like a Freudian slip. It just completely unintentional. Senator, she acts, whatever she is, she is putting forward a false choice herself. This has always been a dream of the Democrats. Now why do they want to take away weapons so badly? You become easier to control as soon as your rights and your liberties disappear. The Democrats have always wanted to implement a European social welfare state. One of the main reasons why they can't is because Americans still, despite the safetyism craze that has spread across our country, we have had some reverence for certain liberties. Going to church worshiping, coming in contact with your creator, hopefully, or at least having a relationship with Your Creator through worship firearms, owning private property. Now, a lot of these rights were infringed upon the last year during the lockdowns. But the reason why the gun grabbers fail time and time again is this is usually an issue. Or even establishment Republicans and grassroots Republicans and conservatives can unite behind. Front page of the Epoch Times, it says, Lindsey Graham, quote, the GOP will shut down the Senate if denied access to border facilities. So Lindsey Graham basically admits they could shut down the Senate at any time. So they should use that chip more often. They're trying to pass HR1, they're trying to pass HR5. I agree that you should be willing to use the tools at your disposal. Senator Graham, you just admitted now that we can do something to pass to prevent the passage of amnesty, the passage of open borders, which too many corporate Republicans want to get done in our country. Let's get to sound here. Cut 32 sound. Ted Cruz continued by saying the other side never has any solutions.
- [44:46]
F
And he debunks in Connecticut, just said the folks on the other side of the aisle have no solutions. While the Senator from Connecticut knows that is false. And he knows that's false because Senator Grassley and I together introduced legislation, Grassley Cruz, targeted at violent criminals, targeted at felons, targeted at fugitives, targeted at those with serious mental disease to stop them from getting firearms, to put them in prison when they try to illegally buy guns.
- [45:13]
A
That's exactly right. Instead, their solution is to try and prevent the further selling of other firearms. And where do we get this idea from that all of a sudden Democrats want to confiscate weapons? Did we just make that up? Well, here's Robert Francis o', Rourke, the fake Hispanic Irishman from Texas. He was commenting on the gun issue. And remember Joe Biden did joint events with Robert Francis o'. Rourke. He was called to be the soon to be gun czar of the White House. He is platformed as a serious person, which he shouldn't be taking one. But I guess we have to take him seriously. Play tape.
- [45:48]
H
And in Odessa, I met the mother of a 15 year old girl who was shot by an AR15. And that mother watched her bleed to death over the course of an hour because so many other people were shot by that AR15 in Odessa, in Midland. There weren't enough ambulances to get to them in time. Hell yes, we're going to take your AR15, your AK47. We're not going to allow it to be used.
- [46:11]
A
We're going to take your AK47 if we can Find a Kalashnikov anywhere in the country, we're going to take it. Robert Francis o' Rourke has no idea what he's talking about whatsoever. That's where we get this from. And notice at the end of that video, what's so unique about that video? The entire crowd applauds. That's the Democrat base. That's what they want. And then all of a sudden, they say, oh, no, you're dumb to think that we want to take your weapons away. It's a leading Democrat. And by the way, Robert Francis o' Rourke will never be Bobby Kennedy, despite his best attempts. I was born for this. That's what the front page of Rolling Stone would say. Let's go to cut 36. Rachel Maddow on how Joe Manchin holds the fate of gun control, background checks and the filibuster. Now, this is really where it's all coming through the entire political conversation. And the future of the country is coming down to Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema solely on the filibuster play tape.
- [47:06]
I
If he alone changed his mind on this and decided that he really does care about this, that actually probably would be enough to get that one reform over the finish line. If he changed his stance on the bill itself, if he flipped, found it in his heart to support background checks, given that and his stance on keeping the filibuster rule in place so that majority votes don't count, even for his own legislation, those two issues alone. Joe Manchin holds the fate of this in his hands. And he promised this was an issue that moved him in tears as a
- [47:43]
A
parent, as a grandparent.
- [47:44]
I
He promised that he could get it done. He could get it done actually now, if he wanted to.
- [47:55]
A
Nothing like Rachel Maddow lecturing Joe Manchin for not being a good enough person. That's what she was doing. She was saying, joe Manchin, you're not as good a person as I am. And you promised us that you'd take people's weapons away. Your credit card company found suspicious charges on your card. That's simple identity theft. It's annoying, but they cover it.

When people talk about the gun lobby, who is the gun lobby? It's people. It's not some sort of small back room dealing, cigar filled room. No, the gun lobby are the millions of legal gun owners in our country that follow the law. You know that 8 million guns were sold last year alone. 8 million guns, most by the way to women and Asian Americans. So this whole idea of the gun lobby, it's complete and total nonsense. Okay, let's go to cut 41. Joe Biden talking to a Detroit auto worker. We're going to take away your AR14, whatever this is. Cut 41.
- [50:10]
C
I did not say that.
- [50:13]
H
It's a viral video like the other
- [50:15]
A
ones you're putting out.
- [50:19]
C
Well, he didn't wear it.
- [50:27]
A
And so then he says, wait, I'm gonna take away your AR14. He doesn't even know what that is. Do you see how we've been cheated? Just that encounter alone should have ended Joe Biden's run for the presidency. Could you imagine in a previous time in political history where a former vice president gets face to face with a Michigan autoworker and starts screaming at him and says, AR14, I am going to take those away. That's where we get this from. Cut 42. Joe Biden. Remember him being on stage with Robert Francis o' Rourke where he said, we're counting on you to take care of the guns. Cut 42.
- [51:03]
C
I'm going to guarantee you this is not last year seeing this guy. You're going to take care of the gun problem with me. You're going to be the one that leads this effort. I'm counting on you. I'm counting on you. We need you badly. The state needs you. The country needs you, need you. You're the best. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- [51:22]
A
Saying to Robert Francis o', Rourke, otherwise known as Beto, we're counting on you. We're going to take care of you. We need you to take care of the gun issue where Robert Francis Rourke says, hell, yes, we're going to take away your AR15s and your AK47s, which very few people own AK47s. They own them probably as novelty antiques than anything else. And I want to go back to this Rachel Maddow clip. We don't have to play it again. But she's basically lecturing Joe Manchin on how he holds the fate of gun control in his hands. Do you know what's starting to happen? Democrats are starting to fight amongst each other. It's beginning. They passed their $1.9 trillion stimulus bill to subsidize inactivity. And we are gonna get to that because that's a very important story that I wanted to talk about, about today. But you're starting to see Democrats, you're starting to see that the Democrat intelligentsia who always want to be on the right side of the angels, like Rachel Maddow, fight amongst each other. You're starting to see Rachel Maddow basically say, Joe Manchin is a liar and not a good person. We predicted this. Their obsession, their pathological fixation on Donald Trump is coming to an end. With Donald Trump focusing on his golf game and endorsing candidates here and there, Democrats are now having to wrestle with the harsh reality that they're in charge. They control the House, they control the Senate, they control the presidency. And people like Rachel Maddow who have been waiting for this moment to put forward the revolution, she's looking around. She says, joe Manchin, why don't you want to burn it all to the ground? And that sort of struggle, that sort of, you could call it a Democrat civil war is just beginning. They're going to do this on HR1, HR5, gun confiscation. And Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin are going to say, we are not going to break the filibuster for this. Mitch McConnell has been great on the filibuster. He is using the Democrats words against them. Let's go to cut 24. I want to play every cut from Mitch McConnell. He's been very good on this cut 24.
- [53:39]
E
Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema have been rock solid. They are opposed to getting rid of the legislative filibuster. That's the essence of the Senate. We could have done that when my party was in the majority. President Trump actually asked us to. I said no. We were not interested in changing the fundamental nature of the United States Senate, which is just designed on purpose to kill bad ideas or to reach a compromise so that you can reach that super majority threshold. It keeps America in the political center.
- [54:09]
A
He's right. And look, I'll be honest, I was frustrated for a couple years because we couldn't get big bills passed because we had the filibuster. I was, I was getting a little bit impatient, similar to Rachel Maddow. But I was reminded by people that said, hey Charlie, if we ever lose the Senate, you're going to be happy that we did not break the filibuster. And I'm glad we didn't. Now, the bad part of the filibuster in Mitch McConnell is right on this, but he doesn't understand why he's right. It does make compromise necessary. Just unfortunately, that compromise usually is really bad for American workers and good for corporate interests and for Democrat long term policy objectives like open borders. That's one thing that they can always agree on. Endless wars. It's one thing they can always agree on. However, I think that would still be the case if we got rid of the filibuster. Let's go to cut 25 where it says McConnell has not spoken to Joe Biden. And it seems as if that Joe Biden is not interested in doing anything in the political center. Before we play that tape though, remember Joe Biden gave this long inaugural address about unifying the country and healing people. I don't care what party you are, Joe Biden is governing more radical than Woodrow Wilson ever did. Playtape.
- [55:19]
E
I haven't been invited to the White House so far. This administration is not doing any, not interested in doing anything on a bipartisan basis. And the political center, they'd be more than happy to pick off a few of our members and do what they would like to do. But there's been no effort whatsoever by the president or the administration to do anything in the political center. I don't believe I've spoken with him since he was sworn in. We had a couple of conversations before then.
- [55:48]
A
They have not spoken since. Joe Biden has been sworn in. Trump talked to everybody, always. You can, you can accuse Donald Trump of a lot of things. Being not able, not able to reach Donald Trump was not one of those things. Donald Trump would take a call from Pelosi or Schumer at any hour. Always trying to make a deal, always trying to do what's best for the American people. Joe Biden has not spoke to Mitch McConnell. Why? Because Joe Biden is uninterested in governing in the best interest of our country. Joe Biden is more interested in how college professors are going to write his presidency in a textbook 20 years from now. He wants the textbook to be written. That Joe Biden did what Barack Obama never could. He decided to stand up against the evil Republicans, and he drew a line in the sand. One of the arguments is that the filibuster is somehow racist. You're going to hear this a lot, that the filibuster is rooted in the protection of Jim Crow. In fact, Barack Obama said that the filibuster was a Jim crow relic. Mitch McConnell had a great response to this. Cut 26. Elizabeth Warren has said that the filibuster is based on racism. Is it?
- [57:00]
E
No. The filibuster predates the debate. Debates over civil rights goes back to the beginning of the country. The filibuster started well before we got into the civil rights debates that have occurred off and on over the history of the country. So the derivation of the filibuster was not related to race or civil rights, never has been.
- [57:23]
A
And that's Elizabeth Warren saying, we have our moment. We must seize total and complete power. That's why HR1 was literally the first bill they introduced in the House. They are trying to fundamentally change the nature of how we do elections in our country, change the way that we elect our leaders. HR1 is so destructive to the future of our republic. And it's up to Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, two Democrats, to protect the filibuster. And both parties can look out for each other. If Republicans win back the Senate in 2022, which I think is very likely, then the Republicans are going to keep the filibuster intact. But Chuck Schumer is now wrestling with the question, am I able to fundamentally transform America in our image now? Or do I want to play this game where we're always kind of going within the political middle? It's a big choice for Chuck Schumer, but Rachel Maddow is getting impatient. You see, the radicals and the revolutionaries, they believe that this is their moment, that this is their moment to fundamentally transform America. Barack Obama foreshadowed this nearly 13 years before, where he said, we are just days away from fundamentally transforming America. You see, the Constitution spreads authority over space, geographic space and time. You cannot take over the country in less than six years because one third of the Senate is up every six years. Democrats are running out of patience. They're running out of time. They know that Republicans are probably going to take back the house in 2022 unless they change the way we do elections. They know that Republicans are poised to win seats in the United States Senate. So their only solution to this to keep themselves in power is to change the way that people get power in America. Fair and free elections. Forget that they want to register people that are on the prison bureau roles, register people that are on the DMV roles. That's what HR1 would do and it would subsidize a massive mail in voting takeover of our entire country. Republicans are being very firm on this and we said this on our show repeatedly. The entire public policy future of the United States Congress and with it the White House and with it our country is wholly dependent on two Democrat Senators, Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin. Joe Manchin has just come out and said he's not voting for the Democrats background bill in the House of Representatives. Basically killing it dead on arrival. Eight Republicans voted for gun confiscation and gun registration in the House of Representatives, including Adam Kinzinger in Illinois. You see, the Senate is supposed to be a slow moving deliberative body, not a fast paced instant reaction institution. And I know it drives a lot of us nuts when we are in power. But those slow moving precedents, that tradition of deliberation, that might be what saves us from these radicals that have a moment of power. We got an email@freedom charliekirk.com from Janine Hey Charlie, you discussed hiring American workers on your podcast yesterday. I totally agree with you. By the way, subscribe to our podcast but wanted to point out a situation my husband ran into. My husband typically orders a trailer load of pine needles to mulch our property. When my husband called the vendor to place his yearly order, he was told that the order would not be able to be fulfilled this year due to a lack of labor to harvest the needles. The vendor told my husband he had a lot of pine needles and lots of orders but no one to harvest them. I've heard the same side of things from a lot of my friends. I totally agree with you at Hiring American. What do you think about the situation? It seems our vendor is competing with our government welfare system. Bingo Jeanine, you hit it on the head at the end of your email. This $1.9 trillion stimulus bill and before it the 1 trillion dollar stimulus bill and before the $4 trillion continuing resolution and before the $2 trillion stimulus bill. Basically if you're working right now, you have to be able to justify that you have a higher wage than sitting at home and just collecting A government check, not to mention the $1,400 cash that we sent in the PPP loans. We have such a massive influx of taxpayer money and we don't, by the way. It's not even taxpayer money. It's fiat currency borrowed and leveraged against the future of our country and future generations. This is a massive issue happening right now. I have opposed every single stimulus measure, every single one of them. And a lot of corporate Republicans and even some grassroots Republicans say, charlie, government must do something. No. I am a populist conservative through and through, but I think stimulus bills never have their intended impact at all. Especially when you're volunteer you're voluntarily locking down the economy. I was a harsh critic against the lockdowns from the beginning. We should have fully reopened the country. No mask mandates, no social distancing. A month after we knew what we were dealing with, by mid April, the country should have been fully open. We should have said, be brave, be wise, take responsibility for your actions. If you're old, over the age of 60, stay at home, open the schools, enjoy your life. Now that's a controversial position because liberty is hard and it's easier to cower behind a safetyism type perspective. One of my good friends just messaged me. It seems as if people have a socialism buzz right now. It's as if they're enjoying the free flow of capital. They're enjoying sitting at home and doing nothing. And now if you're working, you are going to be in the vast minority of our country. And if you happen to be a job creator, then you're going to be extra penalized because now Joe Biden wants to pass another $3 trillion stimulus bill. That's right, another $3 trillion and tax anyone that is earning more than $200,000 a year. That's Joe Biden's solution to all of this. This is a more fundamental point and I think that we as conservatives must be very clear about what public policy measures we want to support. We want to subsidize things that we want to see more of and we want to tax things. We want to see less of family creation and having children. We should encourage work. We should encourage work is a good thing. Sitting at home is not a good thing. Being sedentary is not a good thing. Especially when we look at the, what I call the muscular class of our country. People that work with their hands. So I read this email from Janine and thank you again for the email@freedom charliekirk.com Pine needles to mulch our property can't find anyone to do that. Why would you. You would want to just sit at home and watch Netflix. You can get full unemployment, $1,400. Why would you want to get all sweaty to have to go earn a wage when you could be paid literally cash to sit at home? So what's gonna end up happening is Joe Biden is gonna have to have a decision. And Democrats don't wanna work with Republicans on this. Are they gonna continue the persistent subsidy of this? But Democrats know why they're. You know why Democrats are doing this? Democrats are doing this because they wanna bring in another 10 million people into our country. And because they're the ones that aren't yet on the government assistance, they'll vote their way and they'll be the ones to mulch the property. That's why they're doing this. Subsidize the current Americans to make the labor market. Looks like we need more workers when we don't bring in those people. And then it accomplishes a political objective for them. That's what they want. Thanks so much for listening everybody. Please consider supporting us and the work we are doing to reach millions of young people at charliekirk. Com support.
