But they still passed it with 59 votes while doing an accounting trick to get it done. And then you have Joe Biden who says this is such an effin big deal. Actually you know what, let's play the tape of that so you can hear the wonderful Joe Biden using colorful language. Play tape. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama. Mike Brown's whole argument is, well, look at Obamacare. It ended up horribly because Republicans weren't involved in the process. No, it ended horribly because the idea of Obamacare was a disaster. Government run health care. Some people would argue and say that their death panels 27 new taxes, medical excise tax, absolutely bankrupting the Medicaid exchanges in all the states. It was a gateway to socialized medicine. That's a non starter. So according to Senator Mike Braun, we should go along and pander to the leftist thesis and talking points and their presuppositions. It's a completely wrong guiding thesis. In fact, it sounds like someone who's was sending far too much time pandering around with Chuck Schumer. Moderate Democrats, radical Democrats and moderate Republicans. BLM Inc. Should be denounced and defeated organizationally all across the country. Instead we have senators, Republican Senators that are voicing support, passing legislation that makes BLM Inc. Happy. And honestly, it's really interesting. I always this is one of my operating matrixes and it's not perfect. It isn't, but it's pretty good. If the most radical elements of the Democrat movement are applauding what a Republican senator is doing, that's not necessarily meaning it's a awful idea. But it should generally as a rule mean it's an awful idea. It's not a perfect logical system to make decisions. It's not. But it's a pretty good one. It's a pretty good one to say that if BLM Inc. Is supporting Mike Braun to strip qualified immunity, then it probably is not a pretty good idea, especially when you know the ideas that they're espousing. And BLM Inc. By the way, is actually Act Blue Inc. Which is the payment processor of the Democrat Party. And so every suburbanite who thinks they're going to change the world by donating money to blacklivesmatter.com every suburbanite that thinks they're going to be able to end the racism in America by giving money to blacklivesmatter.com, which we've been through exactly what they believe in. Pro sex work, abolish prisons, abolish police, more abortions, destroy the family. The more they pander to those elements, they're actually giving their own data to Act Blue so then they can be solicited in the future for Joe Biden for President or Alexandria Ocasio Cortez for Congress or for Senate or whatever she runs in the future. You have just given the most valuable piece of information that you have. It's not your money, it's your data. You just handed it over to ActBlue. You probably didn't even read the disclosure waiver for the Christian pastors that had their congregations give money to blacklivesmatter.com to the upper middle class Individuals that have no idea really what BLM stands for. Blm, Inc. That's pretty dangerous, pretty scary. And yet that's where Republican Senator Mike Braun decides to voice his support. Not with police officers, not with everyday Americans that are suffering in the opioid crisis. Not the manufacturing jobs that have been shipped out of Indiana because of our pandering policies to China. Senator Mike Braun is not introducing bills to U.S. senate to have our kids love America again. He's not introducing bills to the United States Senate to have the next generation appreciate the Founding Fathers. Instead, Senator Mike Brown is going out of his way to go on Tucker Carlson's show to advance the talking points of BLM, Inc. And advance the talking points of Chuck Schumer. This is why we are losing our country. We are losing our country because we have a Republican Party that decides to pander to the most radical elements of American society. And I'm all for solving problems. I'm all for coming together. But as Victor Davis Hanson brilliantly says, and we're going to have him on our podcast soon, he says, if you were not taking this as a priority issue when America was not in a sense of cultural panic, then why are you doing it now? Are you pandering or are you actually trying to solve a problem? And generally, I think policing should not be solved in the halls of the United States Congress. Generally, I think that policing is best done locally. And that's why I think that Minneapolis defunding their local police is going to be met with huge protests and repudiation. And unfortunately, it's going to be a huge increase in crime. I do not think that Mike Braun should be introducing a federal bill stripping qualified immunity for people across the country, especially when the Indiana Police association says, it's an awful idea. We are losing America because people who are supposed to be on our team are pandering to the radical elements that are destroying our country. Those people should not be Republicans. Those people should be independents or not in the US Senate at all. We need wartime conservatives. We need fighters, not people that pander to BLM Inc. And the most sinister forces in America.

I had a great phone call yesterday with a dear friend of mine from New Jersey, New York area and I was on the phone with him and his 25 year old son and he said something that really resonated with me and I decided to dive deeper into the polling cause I think it was really true. He said, Charlie, I'm just culturally exhausted right now. I'm just fatigued from the news cycle. And really I dove into it. I totally agreed with him. I said I think a lot of people have fatigue. And the Washington Post on April 29 said that 71% of Americans now must take breaks from coronavirus news. And I don't think that it's probably improved from there. I'd like to see some more polling. I've seen some data that reflects something similar. And by the way, if it was true in February and April, how do you think Americans are feeling now after months of protests and riots and looting and arson. The Capitol Hill, autonomous zones, statues being desecrated, BLM ink going on television and propagandizing the American people. And now more lockdowns 2.0 that are coming. We're emotionally, psychologically and spiritually worn out and scared. And the Democrats and the media are continuing to pour it on. They're just pouring gas on the fire. Of the fear mongering machine. Just today from the Associated Press, Anthony Fauci said that the United States is going in the wrong direction in the coronavirus outbreak with about 40,000 new cases being reported today. Fauci, the top government infectious disease expert. I don't even know why we would call him that. He's been wrong about everything. He said that, quote, we'd not be surprised to go up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around. I'm very concerned. He told the hearing of Senate Health, Education, labor and Pensions Committee. And if that weren't enough from cnbc, it says a new strain of flu now found in China has a potential to become a pandemic. The new strain has descended from the type of flu, swine flu, that has emerged in 2009, causing the first global flu pandemic in 40 years. As with swine flu, however, the new strain has been identified as, quote, having all the essential hallmarks of a candidate pandemic virus. That's your good news? That's your good news of the day, right? The new strain of the flu is being closely monitored. My goodness, China. Can you guys get your act together? Look, first of all, our cases are going up because you cannot go into a hospital. I said this in a previous episode of the Charlie Kirk Show. I'm going to keep on saying this. You cannot go into a hospital without mandatory testing. So people that are not showing any symptoms are being tested. Therefore, the testing pool is getting bigger. But the positive rates are staying stable or going down. And deaths are going down in every major state except Arizona, which has ticked up slightly. But how we're categorizing the deaths is still highly questionable. And then to go further into this idea of societal and cultural exhaustion, the Democrat party has now even begun to demonize Mount Rushmore. In a tweet from the Democrat National Committee's Twitter, they actually Refer to the July 4th celebration as, quote, glorifying white supremacy. And we'll actually have South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem on the show very soon. You guys are gonna love it. And she says, quote, not on my watch. So make sure you're subscribed to the Charlie Kirk Show. Type in Charlie Kirk show, your podcast provider hit subscribe, give us a five star review. This is really happening. And the activist media is totally silent. And they're especially silent on what Joe Biden thinks of any of this. And commentator Stephen Miller made the point, replying to the Democrat National Committee's tweet, he said this. Gosh, it Would be sure neat if there was an entire industry, professionals, who could ask the Democrat nominee for president of his party if he agrees with this sentiment that Mount Rushboard glorifies white supremacy. I mean, we still don't know where he stands on removing statues. They let him out to run around once a week and give him a 12 minute statement on something and then they go back to the basement. Grandpa. And finally, after 89 days at a press conference, Joe Biden finally took questions today. It was all softball. It was basically fungo baseball. He did commit to debating the president, which was nice. The whole press conference was a total farce. Aaron Perrin, director of press communications for the Trump campaign, tweeted a list of approved reporters to take questions from. Then, quote, are any of these approved reporters about to push back on any of the lies that Joe Biden is telling? Of course not. And Ari Fleischer, who was the former press secretary for George W. Bush, he reacted to today's press conference with some very, very smart observations. He said the difference between the tenor of the questions to Biden compared to the questions of Trump is striking. After eight years of going easy on Obama, almost four years of being brutal to Trump, the mainstream media seems happy to go easy again. Here's what wasn't. One, anything about Biden's role in authorizing surveillance against the Trump campaign? Two, do blue lives matter? Three, should CHOP in Seattle never been allowed? Four, will you prosecute those who destroy statues? Five, should the New York Police Department cut 1 billion? And it's all about societal blackmail. This is about blackmailing the American public into voting for Joe Biden. This is coercion, plain and simple. Basically, it's been orchestrated by the Democrats and their propaganda arm of the leftist media. When Bill Maher said that he wanted the economy to tank if it meant removing Trump from office, we are seeing that idea become mainstream on the left. This is a small price to pay for them, especially since they all want to destroy capitalism. The idea of private property. They've created a war zone in America where no good or uplifting news is allowed to exist. All of it with the unspoken promise that come November, if we elect Joe Biden, all this will go away, the pain will stop, we can go back to normal again. They are blackmailing and extorting the American people, basically saying, if you vote for Joe Biden, your life can come back, sports will come back, the market will go up, your jobs will come back. Basically, they are slowly and surely trying to put a metaphorical societal gun to the head of the American people and say you want it to stop. Just vote Biden. Pcmatic Terrific company.

Go to pcmatic.com charlie pcmatic.com charlie by the way, even while all the chaos in the news subsides, the truth will be much more serious and sinister. Death in our cities will skyrocket from the lack of policing. The media will not cover that our business owners will be destroyed by high taxes and regulations. The media will not cover that our schools will continue to fail from a lack of choice and unchecked teacher unions. We will sell our future out to China and watch the re emergence of terror in the Middle east all across the world. And Marxists will be left to poison, rot and destroy our institutions, at least what's left of them. And you saw this with Reagan, you saw this George W. Bush. And now you see it worse than ever before with Trump. Why? Because he called out the activist news media day after day. It's always a war when conservatives are in power because the institution of the news media is owned and controlled by the left. So is Hollywood. So while things seem so bad, and frankly they are, in a lot of ways the me this is a media sleight of hand. They selectively publish certain stories, run with them for days, and never give us a break. This is why we never stop hearing about a black man tragically killed by a white man. But we never hear about the 85% of interracial victimizations are black on white. This of course is from the great. Heather MacDonald. So do not be fooled by the extortionist tactics of the left and the activist news media. Do not allow them to blackmail you into your vote. They create a narrative not based in truth. The truth is that policies of this president have worked and will work again. They want you to see chaos and cultural upheaval from the riots and the chaos. They do not want you to see that it's their side causing it. The left destroys everything it touches. They do not want to see that it's conservatives restoring order. That does not fit the narrative. And they will counter any narrative that we advance. I mean, Joe Biden said today that he thinks that Trump has signs of cognitive decline. He says that Trump is weak on China. Truth is not a left wing value. So they'll just deflect the accusation that we're about to throw on them against us. This is why we must flip the script and go back on offense. The way you go back on offense and the way you make the media play defense is you have big and bold ideas. Go back in the archives to the Charlie Kirk Show. Listen to our Think Big podcast. It's one of our best rated podcasts we've ever done. And I want to encourage all of you to email me your questions. Freedom charliekirk.com freedomarliekirk.com of your ideas of how we can lay out a positive vision of what America looks like if Donald Trump wins. Not just saying, oh, Joe Biden won't be president. That is positive in and of itself. But show me concretely, show me tangibly of where, how your life will improve if Donald Trump wins another four years. Our kids will love America again. Jobs will come back, people will be smiling again. Can we laugh again? Can comedians make jokes that maybe push the boundaries? All these things are being put in jeopardy by the cultural left that are digitally and culturally annihilating anyone they dare disagree with. We as conservatives have to defend the American way of life. We as conservatives stand on the shoulders of giants of Churchill and Reagan, Thatcher, John Locke, Jefferson, Washington. We learn from these people because they stood up against a mob and stood for truth. They also painted a picture that Western society can be better than it is today, but it doesn't need to be destroyed in order to get to that future. We need to be the ambassadors of optimism, of hope, of forward thinking, of creativity, of benevolence, of generosity, of teaching our kids that you live in a wonderful country and we must defend and protect and preserve it. No more just saying like, oh, we're better because we're not them. And that is in some way ostensibly true. But instead we must become better at articulating why we believe what we believe. And that's why I laid out those five ideas. Well, it was really eight by the end of it. And how we can start messaging differently with proposals that speak to the anxieties of this moment shared by patriots and independent voters alike. School choice for black kids. Making our kids love America again. The Constitution taught in classrooms across the country. Becoming a self sufficient nation. Building two statues for every statue that they tear down proclaiming truth in every single corner of our country. That's a country that I want to live in because for young parents out there, I'm getting tons of messages@freedomarliekirk.com freedomarliekirk.com I'm getting messages and they say, I don't know if I want to raise kids in this world. I don't know if I want to raise kids where everyone's wearing masks and they're afraid to gather. And even though kids are basically at no risk of getting the virus that we have seven and eight year olds. I was just walking the streets a couple hours ago of an undisclosed city and all these kids are wearing masks and they're in perpetual fear that somehow there's going to be a pathogen that's going to kill them. It's just not true. We are robbing childhoods of our children. We are robbing the innocence of kids. And the left has done this for so long and they're masters. The left are masters at making sure that kids have miserable childhoods. That's why they bring in sex education for 9 and 10 year olds to teach them things that they shouldn't learn for another decade or at least half a decade. They ruin the innocence of our children. And by the way, our white kids are being automatically demonized. They have to take knees in their classrooms. They have to apologize for their immutable characteristics. This is not a country that, that we should accept or tolerate. And it's not enough to say that we oppose it. It's not enough. We have to be big. We have to be bold. We have to be concrete and tangible, positive, optimistic, relentless against the demonization of the left. They're ambassadors of darkness. It's about time that we start to spread truth and light and the American way of life. We can and will win on these ideas and on these issues. We're not going to win with people like Senator Mike Braun that advanced ridiculous ideas and pander to the radical elements of the left. Instead, why don't we put forth real, concrete solutions that will make our country a better place? We've done that. I encourage you guys to email me your questions.
