It was something about when I put this hat on, it made me feel like Superman. You made a Superman. That's my favorite superhero. And you made a Superman cake for me also, as a guy that looks up to you, looks up to Ralph Lauren, looks up to American industry guys, non political, no bullshit, Put the beep on it however you want to do it. Five seconds delay and just goes in and gets it done right now. You gave me the heart to go to Adidas because at Adidas, when I went in, in 2015, we were a 14 billion dollar company losing $2 billion a year. Now we have a $38 billion market cap. It's called the Yeezy Effect. And I went to Casper, we had a meeting in Chicago. And I said, you have to bring manufacturing on shore, not even sure into the core. Is that about the borders? The core of Adidas And Chicago is the core of middle America. We have to make middle America strong. So I had the balls, because I have enough balls to put on this hat. I mean, this thing made me a billionaire. And I could have lost $200 million walking away from that deal. But even with that, I knew it was more important for me to take the chance of walking away from that deal. Than to have no fathers in Chicago with no homes.

This is the same Kanye West. He's a Kanye west that does not like the trajectory of the country that would be run under Joe Biden and the BLM Inc. Radicals. I support free thinkers. We have a shirt at turningpoint USA tpusa.com that says free thinkers only. I'm a Kanye west fan. I just am. He's not doing this against Trump. He has a lot of courage. Sometimes he says some things I don't agree with. You can be a fan of somebody just because you don't agree with every single thing they say. Instead, I like the courage, I like the conviction, I like the confidence. And yes, I like Kanye West. So now we're about to get into someone who I don't like, who is just say I have 10 words actually to describe her. David Letterman style. We can actually play the music. Probably play music, Yes. David Letterman style. We'll get there in just a second. But before I do, I want to say thank you to those of you that Support our podcast. CharlieKirk.com CharlieKirk.com Support those of you that support us monthly. We have a zoom call coming up next month for our supporters that support us, and we'll be sending some information out about that. But for the supporters that Support us on charliekirk.comSupport you Help us stay independent, free of boycotts, free from divestment, and free from the left trying to destroy this very, very important program. So please go to charliekirk.com support charliekirk.com support it helps minimize the amount of advertisements we have on our program. So now someone who deserves 10 words to describe David Letterman style. Play the music again. Elon Omar. I mean, Elon Omar has been running her mouth lately. And when Elon Omar is running her mouth, that means that anti Americanism is on the run. Anti Americanism is growing. Here's 10 words to describe Ilhan Omar. She's despicable, ignorant, conniving, immoral, selfish, anti American, corrupt, nefarious, vile, ingrate. Now why do I say all that? Because just this week she said something that was incredibly despicable. Playtape.

As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality. So we cannot stop at criminal justice system. We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.

A (18:51)

That's right. Just like Joe Biden, Ilan Omar wants to fundamentally dismantle America's political and economic system. The very same system, mind you, that allowed a Somali born refugee to rise through the ranks of our government and become one of the most recognizable congresswomen in America. That does not sound like oppression to me at all and it certainly doesn't sound like something that would ever happen in a systemically racist country. She does not love America. Period. She's given up on America. I've said it before, you do not seek to fundamentally transform that which you love. You don't go to your wife or your girlfriend, you say I love you. Can you please fundamentally transform yourself? Because if you fundamentally transform yourself, then I'll love you more. You don't say that. You don't fundamentally transform that which you have love for. As my friend Marsha Blackburn tweeted, Ilhan Omar took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. And now she says she wants to completely and totally shred it. What would her replacement system look like? Well, no matter what DNC Inc. Tries to tell you, it looks a lot what Joe Biden's replacement America looks like, which I cover on the sister episode today. Joe Biden on Trial. Check out the sister episode Joe Biden on Trial. And mind you, this push to destroy America comes as a total bombshell. Story comes out which reveals that her reelection campaign has spent $900,000 on a consulting firm owned by who? Her latest husband? Her newest and latest. I don't know if it's her greatest husband, Tim Minette. Estimates have her on Track to spend 1.16 million with her husband in 2020 alone. Explain to me how that's not a conflict of self interest policy. Explain to me how that does not have reporters all across the country demanding for her resignation. Well, she's a non American born Somali refugee who hates America. Therefore she's the darling of the American activist media. This country that she so despises is on track to make her ridiculously rich. In fact, so rich she'll be able to fly first class to Mogadishu whenever she wants and fly first class back to America and tell us how awful America is, despite Mogadishu literally being Mogadishu. Now imagine coming from a refugee camp and in Mogadishu. If you don't know what Mogadishu is, let's just say they don't have Carnival cruises stopping in Mogadishu, okay? Because they got Somali pirates that will probably kill you and kill your family. So imagine coming from that same refugee camp to then lining your own pockets with Millions of dollars of your constituents dollars and saying, nope, this system does not give me enough power. Time to dismantle and rebuild. Now, when I say they dismantle and transform, they're very serious. Take the latest Democrat power grab, the BREATHE act, sponsored by fellow ingrates which mean ungrateful ones. Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib. If passed, it would close all federal prisons. Cuz we need more rapists than society, don't we? We got a real rapist shortage. According to Ilhan Omar. Defund the police, abolish ice, give illegals the right to vote, push for reparations and give felons the right to vote. So tack that onto their Green New Deal and you've got your transformed America. But I'm sure some of you are thinking, wait a second, Charlie, Joe Biden's not that bad. The media tells us he's a blue dog Democrat. Well first, please, again listen to our sister episode and support our independent research on the Charlie Kirk Show. We have a team of fact checkers and researchers that are able to do the work the media does not. You go to charliekirk.com support you help support our program, find the truth. But in case you needed further proof of Joe Biden's radicalism, here's a video in his campaign that our team caught and found that the media didn't cover where he's now advocating for defunding the police play tape.

C (22:47)

So my generic point is that do

A (22:49)

we agree that we can redirect some of the funding?

C (22:52)

Yes, absolutely. One of the things that we also need to be doing is fundamentally changing the way, and I've been pushing it for years, changing the way we deal with our prison system.

A (23:03)

That's right, Beijing Biden is one of them. Biden, Bernie aoc, Ilan, Omar, Pelosi, they're all caught from the same anti American cloth. And there's another one that I actually want to take a look into and this is a Democrat that I know quite well. She's a scam artist. She's someone that you have to be very well aware of and she might be the next Vice President United States. Before I get into it, I just want to say thank you again for our supporters@charliekirk.com support it means a lot. Charliekirk.com support thank you. Her name is Tammy Duckworth. Now, I actually have more knowledge and more understanding and more experience with Tammy Duckworth than probably any other podcaster out there. I got my start, my political start in 2011 2012, literally creating opposition research files on Tammy Duckworth in Illinois. Because I started. I didn't start Turning Point USA until 2012. And I was involved in. Guess who was running up against Tammy Duckworth? Anyone you know who was running up against Tammy Duckworth? Joe Walsh was running up against Tammy Duckworth in 2012 for Congress, who ran for president. I know Joe from many years ago. And look again. I've been on Tammy Duckworth's case since I was in high school. In fact, there's an entire dossier of opposition research devoted to the junior senator from Illinois's very questionable record. She lost her legs in a helicopter incident serving in the United States military. I'm going to leave that right there. And we're going to leave that right there. And because of that, and we do thank her for her service. Because of that, she thinks she's immune to criticism. She thinks that because something awful happened to her, somehow her arguments are more correct. So in response to President Trump's incredible Mount Rushmore speech, Duckworth claimed the entire speech was spent praising dead traitors. So now, if she ends up being the Vice President nominee for Joe Biden every single day, the media should ask her, can you name the dead traitor that Trump was mentioning? Which dead traitor? Who is the dead traitor? Tell us the dead traitor. Please tell us the dead traitor. Cuz Trump mentioned none of it and Tucker went after her.

B (25:29)

Play tape long clips from the President's recent address at Mount Rushmore. It may have been the best speech Donald Trump has ever given. It was succinct and clear and it was just true. And for all of those reasons, the Democratic Party and its many minions absolutely hated it. They denounced the speech. And this may not come as a complete surprise to you, as, quote, racist. Now, that's a slur long divorce from any actual meaning, but we should tell you that as a factual matter, it's a lie. There was nothing even conceivably racist about Trump's speech. Go watch it for yourself. There's not a racist word or idea in the whole thing. The only time Trump even, even brought up the Civil War was to praise Abraham Lincoln, who, thank God, won it. He never mentioned the Confederacy or anyone in the Confederacy. Instead, Trump praised unabashed American heroes like George Washington, Clara Barton, the Wright brothers, Jackie Robinson. Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois watched Trump's speech or claimed she did her summary of it. Quote, he spent all his time talking about dead traitors. George Washington, Clara Barton, Jackie Robinson. They are all, according to Tammy Duckworth, dead traitors. Pretty shocking in case you think we're being unfair here. In the same interview, Senator Duckworth was asked if we should tear down statues to George Washington. Sure, she responded. Let's talk about it. We played that tape for you last night and we noted how grotesque it was. Only someone who hates the country would suggest ripping down monuments to its founder. Apparently, Tammy Duckworth saw what we said. She didn't disagree with it exactly. Instead, she questioned our right to criticize her at all. Since she was once injured while serving in the Illinois Army National Guard. That's what passes for an argument in modern identity politics. They don't address the points that you make. They question your right to make them at all. The irony, of course, is that George Washington himself, the dead traitor Tammy Duckworth, has such contestants contempt for, also served in the military. Washington spent most of his adult life under arms. He fought in two wars. At one point, during the winter of 1777, Washington lost almost a quarter of his entire army to cold and malnutrition. So George Washington paid his dues. He was, as we might say today, a combat veteran. And by the way, Washington also created the country we live in. George Washington was a genuinely great man. But to morons like Tammy Duckworth, Washington is just some old white guy who needs to be erased. Let's tear down his statues, rename our capital city Sharpton or Mandela, and let the revolution continue. But hold on. Not so fast. Changes that profound deserve a debate. Not some fake national conversation where they scream commands at you and you get to obey, but a vigorous, reasoned exchange between adults. We wanted to have an exchange like that with Tammy Duckworth tonight. So we called her office and we invited her on the show. Her flack informed us that before even considering our request, we must first issue a public apology for criticizing Tammy Duckworth. In other words, I will not debate you until first you admit you're completely wrong. Keep in mind, Tammy Duckworth is not a child, at least not technically. She is a sitting United States senator who is often described as a hero. Yet Duckworth is too afraid to defend her own statements on a cable TV show. What a coward. Tammy Duckworth is also a fraud. Five years ago, while she was a member of Congress, whistleblowers from a VA hospital in Illinois approached Duckworth to report the widespread mistreatment of sick veterans. Remember that story? The whistleblowers met with Tammy Duckworth three times. She refused to help them. According to a cardiologist who attended those meetings, Duckworth dismissed the systemic cruelty inflicted on dying veterans by Saying that, quote, that's just how it is at the va the whistleblowers were horrified by her response. Ultimately, in frustration, they took their story to the media and it became a national scandal. This is the person lecturing the rest of us about her moral authority as a veteran. Spare us. Tammy Duckworth is a callous hack who ignored the suffering of actual veterans when it actually mattered. She has no moral authority. She is just a politician like the rest of them. She works for us. This is a democracy. She has an obligation to explain herself and answer our questions. And our first question would be, how can you lead a country you despise? And that's not something we would ask only to Tammy Duckworth. By the way, hating America is a major theme in the Democratic Party right now. It's everywhere. Turn on the tv.

A (29:59)

Epic smackdown. And the fact that Joe Biden is still considering her to be vice president only reinforces the points that we've been making on this program. It tells you that Joe Biden is going to be a vessel for radical Marxist, anti American activism in the most pure sinister and malevolent form. Now, naturally, the backlash to Tucker in this segment was incredible, and he hasn't backed down. Anyone with the audacity to criticize Tammy Duckworth, they deserve to be applauded because that's not supposed to happen. So Tammy Duckworth then responded to Tucker Carlson and said, well, try to walk a mile in my legs or my shoes, which fine, great, great social media throwdown doesn't actually address the issue that she was wrongly and falsely saying that Donald Trump was praising dead traitors. Tammy challenged her to walk a mile in her legs, basically doing what the left always does, saying that we can't have a conversation, we can't debate because of something unfortunate that did happen to you, or the color of my skin, instead of actually diving into the issues. And by the way, if service to your country precluded you from criticism, why is it that the entire media has spent three years, three and a half years trying to fundamentally destroy and attack Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn? Wouldn't that preclude him from criticism? By her own standards? There are thousands of journalists who owe Flynn and his entire family a very sincere apology. And think about this. By her standards, according to the left, this new rule would preclude General George Washington from all those attacks. And she says that George Washington was a trainer. She says that George Washington was a traitor. He founded the country. How could you betray the country you found? It's actually incredibly, paradoxically impossible. It's axiomatically impossible. In fact, as a matter of fact, this is something that you could tell some of your friends at a cocktail party. George Washington is actually the General of the Armies of the United States, a posthumous honor given to him by Congress in 1976. So he's actually still the General of the United States Military. And that makes him the highest possible rank in the United States military, equivalent to a six star general. But you can't criticize him. Right? This is a tactic of the left. The left does this very often, and we'll end on this note, is they try to use a debate tactic called arguing from authority. They do it all the time. This is inherently a logical fallacy. I'm a professor, therefore I must be right. I'm a black person, therefore I know black issues better than you do. This kind of arguing from authority is a postmodern Jacques Derrida tactic to silence critics. It is a tactic rooted in the idea that everyone has their own truth and that if you have an argument from a certain piece of authority, you should be given more credibility. This is nonsense. Now we thank Tammy Duckworth for serving. Thank you. But when she says to Tucker, without actually addressing the criticism, well, why don't you walk a mile in her legs? It immediately ends the debate and we go back into our tribal groups of right versus left, team right versus team left. Instead, Tammy Duckworth should have dove into the issues and not tried to posture around arguing from authority. You see that the left do this all the time. I'm sure a lot of people. In fact, I get thousands of emails of people listening to this podcast, people that say, charlie, I'm told I can't speak because I'm white. I'm told that I can't have an opinion on BLM Inc. Because I'm a white male. Truth transcends color. Facts, data, statistics, logic is true no matter who communicates them. This idea that only men or only women or only black people or Hispanic people are able to speak a certain series of facts is a gateway to the destruction of dialogue and discourse. And with that, the United States of America. Any person should be able to say anything. That's right. Now, mind you, if a certain individual says something, they should also back it up with facts, data, statistics, and independent pieces of information. Let me build out why this is so dangerous. If we take the left's tactics and we engage in them, all of a sudden the best argument does not win. The best policy idea does not win. The moral good does not win. Instead, it's Whoever is the most oppressed group or the person that might be closest to the highest authority figure. This is very dangerous. Instead, submit into the general consensus why you believe what you believe and why other people should also believe it. Being able to say, well, I know this better because I'm of a certain skin color. Well, maybe you have certain experiences that might be micro true, but does it back up a macro truth? I'll give you a great example. If I had someone here on this podcast and they said, charlie, I'm going to tell you something that's true. Seatbelts kill people. Well, I said, that's statistically completely untrue. And they say, well, my brother died because a seatbelt suffocated him in a car accident. Therefore it's true. So his own personal story, his truth, makes it feel as if that should be applied to the entire world. However, it's not true. In fact, seatbelts save tens of thousands of lives and only jeopardize 10 or 15 lives every single year. So is what he's saying true? Of course not. Now, is the story that he submits something that happened? Yes. But his argument from authority could mislead an entire society around a public policy debate around seat belts. This is not uncommon. The same could be said of around BLM Inc. When people go on television and they say, well, you don't understand police brutality because you've never lived it. And if you've never lived it, it's true, you've never lived it. That doesn't mean you can't comment on it. That doesn't mean you cannot engage in the conversation. That doesn't mean you have to sit down and shut up. That doesn't mean you have to listen to other people that have lived it. Instead, they should be able to submit independently audit, independently audited, agreed upon data and statistics that are applicable to entire societies and entire communities, not just an individual story. Because then you dive into the emotive, the pathological. Well, my story's sadder. And what happened to me is so unjust. So for example, people try to say, well, white privilege because of Brock Turner. Well, first of all, we've already unpacked that here on the Charlie Kirk show multiple times that it was wealth, privilege, not white privilege. But just that one story is so outrageous. And I agree, it's emotively outrageous. It would be such a mistake to create public policy around that. In fact, it'd be misleading. It'd be a disservice to the truth. The left loves to be able to hide behind certain individuals that can argue from authority or from personal experience, despite the fact that the macro truth is in fact the ultimate truth does not correlate with whatever narrative they might be peddling. They've done this for every single issue you can imagine. Gun violence, racial tension, white privilege, education. The left is always better at the right at being able to tell stories, because we on the right, for good reason, by the way, and it puts us at a storytelling and strategic disadvantage, is we demand facts, data, statistics, and agreed upon starting points. If you do not have a given in geometry terms that all of you can point to and say, yes, that is true, then all of a sudden you're gonna be doing nothing more than swapping campfire stories, and whoever cries the best and has the saddest story to tell will win the argument. You cannot build a society around that. You can't. In fact, you shouldn't. In fact, if that ends up being rewarded, which is what's happening right now in America, where the person with the saddest story, despite it being an isolated incident and not part of something that is systemic or part of a macro trend, if you give them that sort of unwarranted attention and application to the general piece of public policy, then you're designing an entire country governmentally and culturally, around a lie. For example, police are not systemically racist. They take the singular incident of Derek Chauvin killing George Floyd and want to apply it to our entire society. That specific incident happened that is not emblematic of police officers across the country. No data, no science, no statistics show that. So for a lot of the students listening to this podcast, I encourage you to reject any arguments from authority or from identity politics. If a teacher says I'm right because I'm a teacher, say that's a logical fallacy. Prove it to me. If your teacher says the first law of Newtonian physics is incorrect and I'm right because I'm a professor, they're lying to you. And you, who might just be an undergraduate student or an 8th grade physics student, you might have more truth than the teacher if you believe in the first law of physics because it's true. So what Tammy Duckworth does right here is a argument from authority, identity, politic, oppression, Olympic sleight of hand. Do not tolerate this. We, as Republicans, engage in this far too often. We just do. Anyone can talk about any topic, especially when there is a plethora of data out there. I am not dismissing that personal stories do not have a place in the national conversation, but they have a place in the national conversation when they are harmonic and congruent with something that is proven and in data and science, physics, history, logical or critical thinking.
