I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point usa. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Hey, everybody. So much happening in the country. We wanted to come to you with instant analysis of what is happening in the news cycle. What is President Trump doing? What is Joe Biden doing? Very important news day. President Trump visited Kenosha, Wisconsin, had a phenomenal visit. Joe Biden still has been unable to answer for his supporters and for the Democrat arson of America. What's happening in our country is something called gaslighting. The great Rush Limbaugh mentioned this today on his program. And this is something that is thrown around quite often. This term, gaslighting. What does that even mean? You might have heard it on the news. In fact, the activist media quite often tries to mislabel U.S. conservatives as gaslighting the country. So gaslighting, the term originated from a British play called Gaslight, which was written in 1938 and performed as angel street in the United States. It actually got adapted into a film in 1940 and 1944, which are both called Gaslight. And it's used quite often in psychological literature. And so the play was actually about an abusive husband who was manipulating his wife by turning down the light, which was a gas light every so often, every evening, incrementally, where the wife would turn to her husband and say, am I losing my mind or is it getting darker around here? And he said, yes, you are losing your mind. Manipulating the victim venture, the play ends up in his arrest. However, this term gaslighting, essentially means manipulating someone or a group of people to believe something that is not true. According to psychology today, gaslighting is a tactic in which a person or entity in order to gain more power, makes a victim question their reality. Anyone is susceptible to gaslighting, and it is a common technique of abusers, dictators, narcissists, and sometimes cult leaders. It is done very slowly so the victim doesn't realize how much they've been brainwashed. So here are some core characteristics of how gaslighters act. Number one, they tell total and complete blatant lies. They will lie to you with a total straight face. They do it to assert their power and their dominance over you. They know that they can't keep up with all the lies, and they just have to keep double speaking, which is an Orwellian term. Now, a lot of this, especially in the political world, is because the media is complicit in the lie. They love their agenda more than the truth. A lot of members of the media see the world around them, and they see it is not their job to tell you what is happening, but to try to change what is happening in the world. Those are not journalists. Journalists tell you the truth. That is what is happening in the world. They break stories, they investigate, and they pursue veritas the truth. That is not what's happening right now. In the community of people that call themselves journalists, these are activists. That's why we call them the activist media. They know no consequences gaslighters for getting caught in a lie. They keep their jobs. Their side of the aisle will protect them, even though they have no integrity at all whatsoever. Everyone moves on. And we repeat the cycle of lies again and again. Gaslighters also deny they ever said anything at all, even though you have proof. For example, quote, you know they said they would do something, you know that you heard it, but they out and out deny it. It makes you start to questioning your reality, end quote. This is very dangerous because the longer it goes on, the longer it wears you down. Joe Biden and Senator Harris have done this thousands and thousands of times in the last Couple months. Joe Biden in particular. Joe Biden condemns the violence now because polling showed that he should, and we have proof of him failing to do so to condemn violence. And I'm going to complete the point altogether of how gaslighting as a tactic actually ended up being one of the major reasons as to why President Trump is in a favorable political position, how gaslighting actually is helping Donald Trump. Joe Biden says he's not a racist. In fact, he calls President Trump a racist, a gaslighting tactic trying to turn down the temperature ever so slightly so you don't even realize the reality around you. Even though we know that Joe Biden was best friends with bitter segregationists. He says you cannot go to a 711 without a slight Indian accent. He said, if you are not black, you are not black if you do not vote for me. Questioning someone's race if they do not vote for Joe Biden. He said on Barack Obama, quote, I mean, you got the first mainstream African American who's articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man. Joe Biden said, I will ban frackling. And then Joe Biden says, let me be clear, let me be clear, I will not ban fracking. Kamala Harris says she will believe all women and Tara Reid, but then she accepts the vice presidential nomination and she says, well, some women are liars. The third attribute of gaslighters, they use what is near and dear to you as ammunition. This is from Psychology Today. Quote, they know how important your kids are to you and they know how important your identity is to you. So those may be one of the first things they attack. They attack the very foundation of your being. For example, they say they tell you that Republicans want to kill your grandparents. They tell you that Republicans are racists. They tell you that you are a racist if you support Donald Trump. They tell you that if you support Republican ideas, you're actually against our country. They take something that is personal to you and use it against you. The fourth attribute of gaslighters is they wear you down over time. We've talked about this many times on the Charlie Kirk show before in Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Rule number eight says clearly to keep the pressure on. It is done gradually over time. Psychology Today says a lie here, a lie there, a snide comment every so often. And then it starts ramping up. Hemingway famously said, things happen gradually, then suddenly, so perfectly put. You see, the Soviets, they knew that when you tried to infiltrate America with Awful and bitter, backwards and evil Marxist ideas. They knew that the first steps took years, then the last stretch happened all at once. I encourage you to go back to listen to our June 11th episode where we had prophecies from a KGB defector, Yuri Bezmanov. You see, we thought socialism wrongly would never come to America. But for years the ideas were seeded slowly, like planting a harvest in our universities with those very same ideas Bezdemonov called useful idiots. For example, the professors. And then of course, Alexandria, Ocasio, Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan, Omar and the squad came all at once, gradually, then suddenly attribute number five of a gaslighter. Their actions do not match their words. According to Psychology Today again says what they are saying means nothing. It is just talk. What they are doing is the issue. They are all talk, little action. This is basically the entire story right now of what is happening to us politically. What is happening politically right now is you have an entire party that has decided they do not care at all whatsoever about their actions and their words correlating. The Democrat Party does not care that they say one thing and they do another. And there are so many different examples of this. The laws that they write do not actually apply to their actions. This is why the Democrats say they hate school choice, but they send their kids to private schools. This is why they say they hate guns, yet they walk around with armed guards. They say they hate border security, yet they live in gated communities. This is exactly why Pelosi got her hair done without a mask on in just the last 24 hours. And thank you to the hero that released that footage that shows Nancy Pelosi walking through the hair salon. I think we actually have a clip of this that I'm going to play for those of you watching on video. And for an audio, I will describe the clip. Play tape. And as you see here, Nancy Pelosi entering, getting her hair, I guess the quite right term is blown out without a mask on. So Nancy Pelosi is very quick to say that everyone should have a national mask mandate, doesn't wear a mask indoors. Maybe she's contributing to the spread. By the way, the salon was shut down so she can get her hair treatment, but the people of San Francisco cannot. And she wasn't even supposed to be there. Meanwhile, California is literally on fire and suffering from some of the worst fires in years. California's businesses are completely suffering under the tyranny of Democrat control. But it's okay as long as her hair looks fine, no different than Lori Lightfoot justifying herself getting a haircut during the lockdown. Cuz she said her appearance means quite a lot, the salon owner Erica Kios said, and she shared this video for this reason. I'm sharing this because of what everyone in my industry, in my city is going through right now. Good for you. You are a hero. Unfortunately, you're probably gonna have your business license revoked very soon by a San Francisco tyrant. She said, quote, we have been shut down for so long, not just me, but most of the small businesses, and I just can't. It's a feeling, a feeling of being deflated, helpless and honestly beaten down. I haven't been fighting, I've been fighting for six months for a business that took me 12 years to build to reopen, she said. I'm a single mom, I have two children and I have no income. She added, in fact they did this and she came in. It's like a slap in the face. But Nancy Pelosi gaslighting us says that we need to stay closed in our country, that we need to stay locked down, that we need to be without any form of return to normalcy. But Nancy Pelosi can go back to her $7.5 million home, eat her $13 a pint ice cream while she says she cares for the working class of this country. It's also exactly why Andrew Cuomo can walk the streets without a mask. I think we have a picture of this as well, of Andrew Cuomo today walking the streets of New York City without a mask. Kamala Harris owns a gun but doesn't want you to be able to. The Philadelphia mayor recently got caught eating inside. But even though it's illegal for the citizens of Philadelphia to be eating inside Chicago, Mayor Lori Lightfoot vacationed in Maine in the last couple days. While her city continues to burn, Lori Lightfoot vacations in Maine. Meanwhile, in just the last week, seven people have been shot and killed, 40 shot and wounded in Chicago and 47 total shot. Where in Democrat controlled Chicago where the last time there was a Republican elected to the mayor's office in 1931. We have 476 people shot and killed, 2,337 shot and wounded, and 2,813 people total shot with 519 total homicides in my hometown of Chicago. But Lori Lightfoot is perfectly okay, vacationing in Maine while her city burns, mandating that police do 12 hours on and 12 hours off, cutting their time off and but she has to go take care of her mental health by going to Maine while also saying that she supports the right to protesting. But then she arrests people that dare go on her street because she needs her rest. Can we show that Cuomo picture? I think we have it pulled up here. Now this right here is Governor Cuomo walking the streets at New York City with no mask on with his dog while the other citizens have to wear the masks. Rules for you, but not for me, I guess is the best way to say it. Boy, is that just picture. Just a perfect embodiment of that. Yet he's the one that says that you must wear a mask at every single facet and square inch of the state of New York. Masks for thee but not for me is the best way to say it. As Orwell said in his seminal work Animal Farm, all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. Good Ranchers began with the standard of bringing top quality 100% American born, raised and harvested meat to families across America.

GoodRanchers.com promo code Charlie I love high quality meat, not that nonsense that you buy at the grocery store. So go to goodranchers.com that is goodranchers.com promo code Charlie consider the DNC as another example. Remember the Democrats quoted our founding fathers. They paid homage to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. But they say they want to reimagine America and absolutely and fundamentally transform it. By the way, I could go through example after example of Democrats saying one thing and living another. Whether it be Elizabeth Warren saying she hates school choice and hate private schools, yet she sent her kids to private schools. Whether it be Bernie Sanders saying that he wants to basically eradicate private property in our time. Or Bernie Sanders saying that he wants to have Medicare for all. Or Bernie Sanders saying that he wants to have a socialist takeover of our country while he charges money for his book, while he flies around in private jets. Or Barack Obama and Michelle Obama saying that diversity is our strength, yet they live in Martha's Vineyard, which is one of the least diverse places on the planet. Why don't Barack Obama and Michelle Obama live in the south of Chicago? Why don't they live in Hyde Park? Why don't they go live near US Cellular Field? Are they afraid of all the crime that's happening? Instead they live in the liliest white part of the entire country. The left is very quick to tell you to live under their mandates, but they do not want to live under those mandates themselves. And we call that hypocrisy. But it's even worse than that. It's contempt. It is hypocrisy, but it's worse. They actually hate you. They think so little of you. They mock you with their actions. They do not respect you, the voters. They don't respect us, the sovereign, the people. They are so willing to defy their own publicly stated positions that they know they will never be voted out of office no matter what they do. The same to be said for the activist media that goes around trying to enforce everyone to wear masks, why they themselves, including head of the White House Correspondents association, was not wearing a mask at the event that I was at this last Thursday on the White House lawn when the President accepted the Republican nomination. The Democrats will always advocate for policies and positions that they themselves do not want to live under. A conservative. As you can see my shirt here, which will be for sale very soon. You guys can check out tpusa.com store tpusa.com store to check out these amazing shirts and swag that we have at Turning Point usa. But this one's not yet for sale. So this is an exclusive viewing of the new merch that we have at Turning Point usa. But we as conservatives will never advocate for a singular position that we ourselves will not live under, ever. You will not find one position that I advocate for that I am not comfortable embracing and living out every single day. For example, I never want to take your guns away. I'm happy living with firearms and I think you should be happy living with firearms. I want to one day send my children to a good school, maybe outside of a public school district or maybe homeschool my kids. I think you should be able to do the same. I'm Perfectly okay with you living in a gated community if you can afford it, and you think that's the best decision for your family. And I might make that decision. And I also think that we should have border security. So I like walls in the macro and in the micro. There is not one position that conservatives have articulate that they themselves do not live out. And if they do, then actually we as conservatives hold ourselves to high enough standards to run those people out of office. I want you to imagine for a second if the minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, was found to be getting some form of a haircut without a mask on national disgrace. I want you to imagine if President Donald Trump had a edict or an order saying you can't eat inside and President Trump was found eating inside of a restaurant that he closed down. I want you to imagine if Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida said that every single person needs to wear a mask outside at all times in Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and was walking the streets of those cities without a mask on. How would the media react? Because the activist media is an extension of the gaslighting Democrat Party. And we're going to get into that even deeper. The sixth attribute of the gaslighting tactics that we are seeing in the media and of the Democrats is they throw in positive reinforcement to confuse you. This person or entity that is cutting you down, telling you that you don't have value, this is from Psychology Today is now praising you for something that you did. This adds an additional sense of uneasiness. You think, well, maybe they aren't so bad, but. But yes, they are. This is political manipulation at its finest. Republicans follow this all the time, at least before Trump came to town. Look what you were praised for. It is something that served the gaslighter. This is exactly why when Senator Mike Braun said he supported the BLM Incorporated movement that wants to destroy the Western prescribed nuclear family, abolish prisons and abolish the police. I went after Senator Mike Braun harder than almost anyone else in the conservative community, probably second only to Tucker Carlson, because we do not tolerate Republicans pandering to the gaslighters. That Republican Party is over. Republicans always seek the approval of the gaslighting left. We want to be let in. We want to be into the party. We want to get invited to the cocktail party. We want to go to cnn. We want to have our kids go to the elite universities. That has ended thanks to President Trump. We are wise to you. I never want to be part of that social circle. I never want to get a positive reinforcement from the Left, you don't like me. And if that's the case and the battle lines are drawn and I'm not going to try to win favor from you, attribute number seven of the gaslighting left is they know confusion weakens people. This is very important. They know that when people cannot get their aim right, they know when people cannot get clarity in their future destination that confusion is a gateway to tyranny. They know that chaos leads to destruction. Humans natural tendency, this is from psychology today, is to look to the person or entity that will help you feel more stable. And that's what happens. And that happens to be the gaslighter. I call this electoral extortion. What is happening right now in this country when Joe Biden comes and says, do you really think that the violence is going to get better if President Trump gets reelected? This is a hostage situation, America. Joe Biden and his campaign, when he says that they are holding us hostage by saying, if you reelect Donald Trump, we are going to throw my base and my supporters into the streets. And what you've seen in Kenosha and Portland and Seattle is just the very beginning. Many people may or may not vote for Donald Trump. They actually might not if they think that the arson's going to continue. That is not a reason not to support Donald Trump. Even though I believe that the riot soon after President Trump wins reelection, which is looking more and more likely thanks to the gaslighters. And we're going to tell you exactly why and how, even though I think the violence will continue because they have said it will continue and they are threatening more violence, that is not a reason not to support President Trump. Do not be extorted. This is blackmail. This is no different than the first Die Hard movie where they are holding people hostage and they are asking for demands in return. This is no different than the movie Inside man where a group of bank robbers are holding people hostage and asking for something in return. In some ways, they hope that we will achieve some form of Stockholm syndrome where we'll fall in love with the people that are holding us hostage. Because the gaslighting has been so blatant and so brazen in the last couple weeks and months, the gaslighting tactic has now proven to be very dangerous one for the Democrats. We'll get to that even deeper. America is ready to get back to work. But to win in the new economy, you need to take every advantage to succeed.

They project they are a drug user or a cheater, yet they are constantly accusing you of that. This is according to Psychology Today. This might be the favorite tactic of the left. They say conservatives are racists when they themselves endorse the most racist organization in the mainstream of our country. Let me be very clear when I say this. The most racist organization in the mainstream of our country is BLM Incorporated. The most racist organization that is receiving corporate funding. BLM Incorporated. The left are the true racists. The Democrat party is the party of slavery, KKK, Jim Crow, of opposing the 13th, 14th and 15th amendment, opposing the Civil Rights act, opposing Martin Luther King Jr. The left wants black only dormitories today and they wanted black only schools in the 1960s. The left wanted black only schools in the 1920s and the left wanted black only schools in the 1880s. They want black only learning environments. It feels like something a KKK member would advocate for in the 1890s. The left has always cared about skin color. The right has always cared about character. We as conservatives were founded as the anti slavery party. We should be proud of that. That's why I wear the shirt conservative because that's who we are. We care about conserving the natural rights that God gave to us as a gift, not that government gave us those rights. The left calls us the racist when they themselves are the most racist people in America. The most racist individuals in America are Governor Kate Brown, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, Senator Harris because they judge people based on the color of their skin. We judge people on worldview and character, values and decisions. The Left says we have no respect for the rule of law when they are the ones that are actually trying to overthrow Western civilization. And our most fundamental element, which is that justice is blind. If you have a picture of lady justice, you see that she's wearing a blindfold. The idea of blind justice is it doesn't matter about your socioeconomic level. It doesn't matter about the color of your skin or your religion. You will get a fair trial, a fair hearing with a jury of your peers. This is a Christian idea that if you are innocent, you should be exonerated by a jury of your peers. If you are wrongly accused, you should have an opportunity to defend yourself. The left prefers critical race theory, which is to change the entire society in favor of, of BLM Incorporated, which they prefer critical race theory, which is a very, very dangerous way to try to destroy all of Western society, to give an advantage to what they believe is a disadvantaged portion of American society. This is what they teach in all of our universities, is what many young people across the country are learning. And this is why they want the lawless to run free while the left continues to do whatever they want to do across the country. Email us your questions.

Attribute number nine of Gaslighters, which is what's happening right now in our country. Number nine is they try to align people against you. Sound familiar from Psychology Today? Gaslighters find people they know will stand by them no matter what, and they use these people against you. This is what Democrats are doing with the black community. They spread fear, disinformation and propaganda to keep the black community under their control. They hyphenate us African American, Asian American. They divide us to control us. We as conservatives and the great Dennis Prager articulates this phenomenally well. Believe in the American trinity, E pluribus unum, in God we trust and liberty. E pluribus unum is on the presidential seal. When President Donald Trump was giving that phenomenal press conference day in Kenosha, Wisconsin, E pluribus unum was on that seal front facing to the world. Which means it's a Latin phrase out of many. One, the left does not believe in that the gaslighting left absolutely does not believe in that. So they try to align people against you. They want to have black against white, rich against poor, men versus women. Look at the major movements of the American arsonist left in the last decade. Occupy Wall street, rich versus poor. I got my start walking through Zuccotti park in the fall of 2011, and I learned more about the left in six hours of dealing with Zuccotti Park, Occupy Wall Street Marxists than any university could have taught me about the left. Well, actually, the university probably would have taught me a lot about the left, but I learned a lot about the left in six hours when I was still a high schooler walking Zuccotti park in Manhattan. The second biggest movement that came up recently is the MeToo movement. Turning men against women. Believe all women. Well, what about facts? What about women that lie? No, no, no, just believe all women. Tribalism, having men be more skeptical of women and having women hating men. The modern day feminist movement is much more about hating men than ever. Empowering women. And now the most recent movement that we have seen, which is on race, the ultimate tribal identity. Because Occupy Wall street and MeToo did not have the same full fledged transformational effect that the arsonist gaslighting left was seeking. So then they decided to launch a new organization, BLM Incorporated, which of course is a money laundering scheme designed to take white liberals money in some form of financial atonement and some sort of guilt exercise so that they can go burn down your country. You know, it's really not that difficult. BLM raised hundreds of millions of dollars this summer. And people are wondering who's funding the destruction of these cities. People are wondering who's funding the buses and the tickets for these people to crisscross America. It's bank of America that gave a billion dollars. It is PepsiCo $400 million. It is YouTube that is putting $100 million to just black content creators, which is a racist thing to do. To just give people money based on the color of their skin is racist. The left cares so much about race. Why? Because that's all they have. Because that's within their DNA. Within the DNA of the left is caring about things you cannot control. It's caring about immutable characteristics. It's caring about collectivist action. We care about values, not skin color. We care about actions. We care about how you operate in the world where the left only cares about skin color. As you guys know, paying out of your own pocket for gear that you need to do your job is pretty awful.

The gaslighter knows if they question your sanity, people will not believe you when you tell them the gaslighter is abusive or out of control. Look at how they attacked Trump's mental fitness. Let me say that again. They tell you or others that you are crazy. They say that he lies all the time. When Trump says that Russia and Ukraine are hoaxes, they want you to distrust him even though it's totally true. They want you to think that Trump is crazy, that he's insane, that he's a pathological liar, even though they are the ones that are gaslighting and lying for a living. When President Trump says that mail in voting is going to result in widespread fraud, they want to say, oh no, you're nuts for believing that, even though you can see in real time how pathological that belief is. And they try to say that you're dumb, that you're deplorable. For example, Joe Biden said this. Does anyone believe that there'll be less violence in America if Donald Trump is reelected? Joe Biden also tweeted out Or a Joe Biden staffer also tweeted out the following Donald Trump keeps telling us if he was president, you'd feel safe. Well, he is president, whether he knows it or not. Trump and Pence are running on this. You won't be safe in Joe Biden's America. And what's their proof the violence you're seeing in Donald Trump's America? The simple truth is that Donald Trump failed to protect America, so now he's trying to scare America. This is the work of a master gaslighter, someone who's had 47 years to exploit and gaslight Americans. We have a full list of all the mayoral positions of how long it has been since a Republican has become mayor in these cities. There's not been a Republican mayor of Atlanta since the 1800s, not a Republican mayor of Chicago since 1931. And yet they're trying to say it's Donald Trump's fault that the Democrats have created the hundreds of thousands of black and Hispanic death in our cities. Last time there was a Republican Mayor of Atlanta, 1879 Chicago 1931 Baltimore 1967 Detroit 1962 New Orleans in 1872 Pittsburgh 1934 Seattle 1946 Philadelphia, 1952. Yet somehow it's Donald Trump's fault, who's only been there for three years when it's nothing but Democrats and antifa and left wingers burning down America. Attribute number 11 of a gaslighter is they tell you everyone else is a liar. By telling you that everyone else, your family and the media is a liar, it again makes you question your reality. If you think that a spike in crime is bad, the left says, well, yeah, can you believe that conservatives are behind all that racism And BLM is peacefully protesting. I want to get this Ted Wheeler clip going. Who is the mayor of Portland. I think he's being held hostage by the radical left in his city. Listen to what he has to say.
