In the second hour of our broadcast yesterday, we decided to comment on the Meghan Markle Prince Harry drama. Our production team said, charlie, you gotta weigh in on this, and this is heating up. I said, all right, we'll dive into it. In fact, our entire first hour was dedicated to the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, open borders, illegal immigration, and we took it head on. And everything we said was absolutely factual and correct. And what's been very interesting to see over the last 24 hours is how the activist media and people that are very overly protective of Meghan Markle, Oprah and Prince Harry have reacted to any sort of criticism thrown their way. So I just want to talk about, from a broader theme why I think it's actually important that we zero in on this. Certain institutions are important to protect and preserve and to remain intact in the United Kingdom. The tradition, the legacy of the monarchy is something that is taken very, very seriously. And I have a great deal of respect for it. Every time I visit London and I visit my very good friends in the United Kingdom, we have Turning Point uk. It is something that people are very, very proud of and they should be. In a lot of different ways, the British monarchy brought common law to the rest of the world. Some of the greatest thinkers of William Blackstone, Edmund Burke were people that were educated and formed in the British monarchy. And all the inner drama is not something that I have always followed. In fact, a lot of Americans have a fascination with, with the Crown, the production of films around it. The show literally called the Crown, also Downton Abbey, the. The entire history. That seems as if America has a. A multi generational fascination with this, I think that's fair. I think that's well said. And so when someone comes onto the scene and has a general negative narrative to contribute, especially someone that I think should be having more gratitude than not, such as Meghan Markle and attacking the royal family. I just say timeout. It seems as if there's a general trend that every institution that wasn't created by the left in the last 18 months must be destroyed. We call this cancel culture. I think it's a lot deeper than that. It's a corrosion against who we are. Dr. Seuss, Aunt Jemima, Gone with the Wind, Thomas Jefferson, George S. Patton, Teddy Roosevelt, you name it. So this general trend of the removal and the accusation, this idea that everyone who came before me except Vladimir Lenin is a bad person, I just kind of say, slow down a little bit. Remove that kind of prideful arrogance that resentment and maybe say that there's a rich tradition that came before you and you're not the greatest person ever to grace the planet. And so that pattern manifests itself in a variety of different ways and just seems it came together in one interview at one time, all these different cultural trends, which is why I think it's worthy of commenting on it. It seems as if this was almost an intersection point of dozens of different cultural issues. In one interview, you had one where you had the multi billionaire black woman who plays into victimhood culture despite herself being a victor and a very successful woman who built her whole career around that narrative. Oprah Winfrey, you have Meghan Markle, who throws an accusation of which I don't think she's telling the truth. I said that yesterday. And at the very least, I think that she is misrepresenting what happened because she doesn't offer specifics when she was pressed on it. And then you have Prince Harry, who allows his family and his country to go basically to be attacked without any sort of defense whatsoever, and his family, who deserves praise and credit for the strong example that they have portrayed for the rest of the world, quite honestly. And then all of a sudden he's going to sit idly by while their honor is attacked publicly. That's a no for me. And again, it goes to this deeper point, which is, are we just going to allow ungrateful, unhappy people to tear down everything that came before them? I'm not saying the monarchy is perfect, of course not. But this seemingly irresistible urge to go scorched earth on cultural institutions is incredibly dangerous, self defeating. And I think it has to be stopped. The arrogance and the resentment from that line of thinking. And so there's a lot of different details that we can unpack. And I think that Prince Harry in particular, who has now decided to play into this very troubling false narrative, basically saying that I agree my family has so many problems, they're not honorable, that I will disconnect and disassociate it. He even said that I felt trapped when I was part of the monarchy. And this is, this is what irritates me the most, this kind of subtle victimhood. Oh, I. I feel. I felt so under attack and trapped because it's such a difficult life being a royal. After the last year of the suffering and the lockdowns and the pain that so many people felt, we now have to be lectured by someone born into the royal family about how difficult that life might be. But if you are now actively participating in the destruction of institutions that came before you with no desire to build anything new, instead just making an entire public Persona on the accusation of multigenerational honor and success, Then I'm going to do everything I possibly can to call that out. The experiment of Western civilization, of which the United Kingdom has played a massive role, is under attack in a variety of different ways. And so we'll continue to build that out. But for anyone wondering over the last 24 hours, do I think any differently? Why would I. Why would I think any differently from what I said on that Oprah Winfrey platformed a non stop interview on victimhood and on trying to attack honorable people. And then Meghan Markle, I think, comes up with a narrative that is not rooted at all in, in facts or any sort of evidence. And when she was pressed, she didn't offer that. What I always love looking and seeing is how so many of these deconstructionists like Meghan Markle may have no interest, no desire and quite honestly no skill or talent to create anything to replace what they want, to destroy nothing. Instead it's I'm such a good person. Look at me, Kate Middleton and the entire monarchy and even Harry's father, in their own words, is worthy of public accusation. If they have problems, deal with them privately. But if they're trying to now accuse a bedrock institution of Western civilization, then we must push back against it. Look, you've heard me talk about MyPillow. And if you want to support Mike Lindell, do it through MyPillow. And a lot of people are saying it's literally changing their life. They won't go flat and you can wash and dry them as many times. But all that aside, Mike Lindell. A lot of you are asking me, how do I support Mike Lindell? I love what he's doing. I think he has great character. Well, go to mypillow.com that's mypillow.com and use the promo code Kirk. When you check out, you can, you can get up to 60% off.

I want to respond to a question that someone emailed us freedomarliekirk.com someone said, hey Charlie, I go to Southern Utah University in my last semester. I'm getting my degree in communication, which I know is a little useless. I was fortunate enough to get a scholarship to pay for my school. At least I was not going to get to my degree. I've worked in HR in the school career center as a student employee and I've noticed that there are lots of jobs to that require applicants to have a degree to be considered for a job. But they really don't care what you studied. How do we reconcile the idea of going to college to get a skill? The market that attracts people with useless majors? My case, I feel like an HR experience much more valuable than my degree, but the experience alone wouldn't be enough for a lot of jobs out there. You're exactly right. So this is one of the biggest problems with the college cartel is that employers are demanding having a degree where if you really want to break that system, the key will be the accreditation gap. Why employers demand a college degree is really stunning. There is no difference between a high school graduate of most times and a college graduate. The only difference is that the college graduate has a significantly greater debt burden. In fact, we have hired plenty of people at Turning Point USA and we care much more about your work ethic and your character than whether or not you have a piece of paper from university. We hire people that have not graduated college, people that have graduated high school. And the number one correlation between a successful employee is work ethic and character, the willingness to learn and to do the right thing. So I understand the frustration. A lot of people say, well these employers say I need to get a degree. Well, I would encourage people maybe to take a gap year, go to local community college before you would enter into a four year experience unless you know specifically the type of skill that you want to acquire. If you know why you want to go to college, to become a doctor, to become an engineer, to. Get a skill that would help you in the marketplace, then so be it. However, if you are going to college for an ideological exploration to find yourself, you'll more likely lose yourself. And for the parents listening out there, and we experience this all the time at Turning Point usa, you are going to play Russian roulette with your child's values. And so I understand that the pressure is on high school students to go to college. And I'm not saying no one should go to college. I've never said that. I am a critic of the institution of College. And I'm definitely a harsh critic of this idea of mandatory entrance into college. I ask high school seniors all the time, why are you going to college? Well, that's what we do. Why? Well, my parents told me that to go borrow money you don't have to study things that don't matter to go and find jobs that don't exist. This is actually going to be the essence of my upcoming book where I am going to go right in to the conversation around college in our country, where I truly believe our country would be a better place if college enrollment dropped by 30 or 40% and we had more plumbers, electricians, carpenters, people that work with their hand, the hands. The problem is most suburban parents don't want their kids to become a plumber or electrician. They would much rather have their kids become a secular liberal than a happy God fearing plumber. So that's one of the major problems there. There is a massive skills gap in our country where people graduating with communications and psychology and humanities degrees are struggling the most. Where people that actually have a very specific skill they are able to then find employment, see raising wages and not be in debt. My buddy Ed Zieman has a new thing you gotta check out.

Go to the Tides RV resort and I promise you, you won't regret. George Wallace was a Southern Democrat who actually ran for president as a third party candidate. He won a couple states. I think he was the former governor of Alabama. He most famously gave a speech where he said, segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever. He was widely condemned by Republicans at the time. Republicans, of course, who passed the Civil Rights Act, Republicans who have always been the party of racial progress. The Democrats have always been the party of racism, and they still are to this day. The Democrats went from the plantation to intimidation to entitlement. Same philosophy, different strategy. But now Democrats are going in a truly regressive direction. You see, the people that are the biggest proponents of progress are actually now the ones that are pushing the hardest to bring us back to the times of George Wallace. So let's first listen to the words yourself. Listen to George Wallace back when he was running for president. Play tape in the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth. I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny. And I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever. Talking like a true Democrat, Republicans ended segregation with the passage of the Civil Rights Act. Lyndon Baines Johnson signed it reluctantly. And now segregation is back. And it's not the segregation that CNN would wrongly portray on their cable news network. Instead, it's from Columbia University. Columbia University in New York, Manhattan now is offering hosting through the university segregated graduation ceremonies. At Columbia University graduation is segregated by race, sexuality and income level. Columbia University is now describing these graduation ceremonies as multicultural graduation ceremonies. In the last week of April, graduation will be offered virtually for LGBTQIA plus blacks or first generation or low income. So whites are not allowed discriminating based on skin color. And I'm reading off of charlie kirk.com so I encourage you to go right now. It's on the front page of Charlie Kirk dot com. You can read along with me and check out our other stories. How is this not against the Civil Rights Act? Discriminating against white people? Not allowing whites to go to the black graduation ceremony? Of course, New York University, NYU University was entertaining for quite a while and it's unclear whether or not it actually happened because of the virus. Black only dormitories, black owning learning centers happen all across the country. And the regressive left, they say, well, this is not segregation. This is a safe space for healing for black people. So that says two things. Actually three things. Number one, you're unbelievably racist. Number two, you think that black people, the only way they could possibly succeed it is in a segregated environment, which is exactly what the KKK and George Wallace used to say. And number three, you care so much about skin color and the melanin content in people's skin that you now want to truly divide people based on race, class and gender. Columbia continues by saying that racially and sexually, sexually segregated graduation ceremonies will be hosted throughout the week. They are, and I quote, the native graduation ceremony, the lavender graduation ceremony on Monday, April 26, the Asian graduation ceremony, the FLI graduation ceremony for first generation or low income community, the Latin X graduation ceremony, and yes, the black graduation ceremony. Martin Luther King Jr. Dreamed of an America without separation and segregation. The dream of Martin Luther King Jr. Is dying at the hands of leftists, not liberals. John Lewis, who the left tries to quote quite often to try to pass universal vote by mail, says, we saw ourselves doing the work of the Almighty. Segregation and racial discrimination were not in keeping with our faith, so we had to do something. Major Owens said, what is our greatest enemy? Segregation. Rashida Talib says, I still remember at the age of 12 learning that segregation had been permitted only a couple of decades before I was born, that a woman's right to vote was not even a century old. But it was a great Americans who stood up, some dying for the cause to make our country better. Jesse Jackson in many ways history is marked as before and after Rosa Parks, she sat down in order that we all might stand up and the walls of segregation came down. Well, Jesse Jackson, the walls of segregation are coming up. Our children are being resegregated voluntarily by mostly white liberals that are running these universities. Why? Well, because unity is a threat to the power grab of the left. Unity poses a danger to those who wish to demagogue and assume complete and total control over a society. So as I read here again from charliekirk.com, columbia University host six different commencements segregated by race, sexuality and income level. Only people that would want to divide our country, turn people against each other, could support such a thing. Under the disguise, under the camouflage of progress. There is nothing progressive about focusing on skin color. In fact, what made progressive America the least racist country ever to exist in the history of the world, the most successful multiracial country in the history of the world, was that we moved past the separation of our skin color and into, at least for a brief moment, a conversation based on character. One that would reward good decisions based in a meritocracy, a multi generational idea that if you work hard and play by the rules, you can move up in society. It is a intergenerational meritocracy. And so if you dare push back against Columbia University and call them racist, which they are, you verge, you, you, you are now on the edge, potentially of being fired, canceled or censored. So the people that educate your children have now run out of so many ideas, in fact, they are so hungry for power, the only playbook that they can go back to is the Southern Democrat segregationist playbook. Which goes back to one of my main points that I make on this program and our podcast many times. And I encourage you guys to check out the Charlie Kirk show podcast right now, which is that the Democrats have not changed at all. Republicans have always been about the lifting up of the individual. Republicans have always been about the protection of rights of all people. And Democrats just have changed their strategies to keep themselves in control. They went from the plantation to intimidation to entitlement. Now back to segregation. This is one of the most dangerous trends happening in America right now. And if you are sending your child to a university campus, they are going to be indoctrinated. They are going to be conditioned to believe that the segregation based on skin color is the new progressive idea. And it is up for every person, liberal and conservative, to fight leftists. And this is something that Dennis Prager talks about quite often, which is if you do not challenge these ideas early, how will a 12 year old know any different? You see, they are taught that George Wallace was a Southern Republican because they are taught that the party switched and the parties never switched. It's one of the biggest lies taught to our children. So how would they know any different? You see, the America that I advocate for is actually quite simple. It's actually the America that I grew up in listening to AM560 the answer at Wheeling High School, which is one that despite our skin differences or cultural differences, the thing that matters most is how you act and your character and what you do, not the melanin content in your skin. We were actually taught in high school that if you care about people's skin color, you are the racist. But you see, that's far too unifying for the Democrats and for liberals, things were going too well. People were getting along. We were a decent country. Therefore, people that are pathologically focused on pitting one against each other on race, class or gender. They tried the class war. Occupy Wall street failed. They Tried the gender war. Me too. Failed. So then they go at something so fundamental and something so incredibly divisive and dangerous, something that we have overcome, which is divide people based on how you look. What a lazy, sloppy and quite honestly, dangerous way to govern a society. Say that you look a certain way, therefore you must act a certain way. Say that you look a certain way, then I'm going to put you in this group. We must abolish whiteness is what Coca Cola tells us. And that's in the curriculum of our schools. Critical race theory should be renamed as critical racist theory. The Federalist has a stunning story about Illinois education. Illinois teachers have been shamed for the color of their skin and taxpayer sponsored anti racist training. You see, this is what happens when parents don't run for school boards and they hope for things to get better. Hope is not a strategy. And I could tell you, growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, there were a lot of good parents in my area that they did not get involved in local school boards. So now in Naperville District 203, a neighborhood I know very well, some of my family is from that area, taxpayer funded community School District 203 hosted a systemic racist training for faculty, bringing in anti racist coach Dina Simmons. Now, Dina Simmons basically is as racist or more racist than David Duke. All she cares about is people's skin color. That is the extent of her commentary. She's given a lot of TED talks on institutional racism. She is like Nicole, Hannah Jones style, Robin Diangelo. So part of the curriculum that your teachers in Illinois are being taught and this is happening all across the country. And we've been on top of the Illinois School Board of Education curriculum. We've been on top of what's happening in Arizona, where in Arizona they are now teaching, your children are racist, your babies are racist. And critical race theory is all over Arizona. And the Republican governor of Arizona has yet to do anything about this from everything I've seen, read and heard. So a whistleblower at Naperville Central, which by the way, just so everyone is clear, Naperville is one of the highest income areas in all of Chicago and a predominantly white area, overwhelmingly white area. And so now because of white guilt, which is throughout our entire system, they now have the David Duke of critical race theory, Dina Simmons come in. All she cares about is skin color. Where the Country Wide Equity Institute. I'd love to find out who funds them. Comes into Naperville School District 203. The streets that I grew up walking on with my family I know this area so well. Decent people are now being told that they're institutionally racist. There is a chart that was showed that had the overt white supremacy and covert white supremacy. The COVID white supremacy is teaching these teachers that the celebration of Columbus Day is white supremacy. Telling any sort of joke about anyone that involves a black person is white supremacy. The quotes, and I tell you right now, the quote that says quote but we're just one human family is a statement of white supremacy. Denial of white privilege is white supremacy. White privilege doesn't exist. It's a racist, bigoted lie. Make America great again is white supremacy. This is what is being taught to your teachers in Naperville School District 203. And I'm going to say something out of frustration, but I believe it quite honestly. The parents in Naperville deserve this. They haven't gotten involved in local politics. They haven't. I know a lot of people in the DuPage Republican Party and they have had a lack of activism and a lack engagement. So now they are seeing the fruit of what disengagement gives you. And I know some really good people in Naperville that have been activists and I'm not going to say their name on air, but they're phenomenal and I'm going to text them this right afterwards. This is in schools all across the country. The Federalist continues by having a picture that says leading for racial equity. Coca Cola has the same sort of anti racist training. This is everywhere. And this seminar has now gone on with great approval of the school board, teaching people that if you have white skin color there's something wrong with you. And that a basic phrase. This is what your children are learning. We are one human family is a racist statement. They believe that people's skin color matters. That's what the KKK believed. That's what slave owners believed. That's what the Nationalist Socialist Workers Party in Germany believes. We don't. They're on the wrong side of history and they are the racists. Teaching your children. So are you making full use of your savings? Think of the times that you've yearned for better returns after real inflation charges and taxes. Are you even making a profit with food, clothing and rent all more doubling over the last 10 years? You, you need to do something different. Gambling on Robinhood or stocks might lose you everything you have. And like thousands of others, you want to retire stress free. A precious metals IRA with Noble Gold could be the answer you've been looking for. And this month Noble Gold is gifting A genuine rare Carson City minted Morgan silver dollar with every qualifying IRA or 401k. These coins were around in a time when an ounce of silver was worth a dollar. For example, in 1893, a mint condition coin is now worth more than $3,250. A staggering 320 500% increase. That's return of 2,500% a year. It is a hedge against inflation. We know inflation is coming. So if you want something you can touch and something you can feel and something you can trade and something that is real, go to noblegoldinvestments.com and tell them the Charlie Kirk show sent you noblegoldinvestments.com or call 877-646-5347. That's noblegold investments.com. One of the things that I've learned over the last couple of years, visiting campuses with Turning Point usa and by the way, we have a Turning Point USA tour coming up. What's the website they can go to? If you guys want to see one of our live appearances coming up, tpusa.com, i'm sure can get you there if you go to events. So you guys should check it out. And if you're listening to this, we're going to Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky, Nashville, Vegas and san Jose. So tpusa.com is the place to check it out. I think it's tpusa.com genfree but I don't want to say something. So just the safe place to go is tpusa.com One of the things that I've learned by visiting college campuses the last couple years and learning how the left views the world, because remember, whatever happens on college campuses will soon happen in the halls of Congress and then in corporate boardrooms. If you understand the campuses, you understand the ethos of the left, the spirit of the left, you, you understand how they operate. You, you understand what drives them and motivates them, which is why we're able to predict what they do so effectively and so accurately. Because I've been dealing with these campus leftists for quite some time. The camp college campuses are the training grounds, the deployment centers for campus leftists. Not just all leftists, not just campus leftists. So one of the things I learned, which was stunning to me because this is not taught, but if everyone who is listening to this, if you just remember one thing I say today, it's this one thing, which is that not even liberals, Democrats and leftists do not view you based on their identity group. If you are Not a leftist. So the left loves identity politics. I believe identity politics will be the death of America. Judging people based on race and gender and maybe class, but most specifically race and gender, I think it's reprehensible. I believe we are all human beings. And in Chicago, teachers at Naperville School District 203 are taught that if you categorize people based on being a human being, just saying we're all human beings, that is you being a white supremacist. That is in the curriculum in Naperville district school district 203. That is where your 3% a year property taxes are going. 6% if you own a commercial property. However, Democrats and leftists do not believe you are gay if you're a conservative. Democrats do not believe that you are black if you are a conservative. So for example, Candace Owens and Dave Rubin are not black and they are not gay because they are conservatives. So the identity politics that they truly believe is first and foremost a leftist identity politics. That we only care about the color of your skin or your sexual preferences if it fits our political narrative. This is exactly why Democrats do not consider Ben Carson to be black. They didn't consider Herman Cain to be black. They don't consider Byron Donalds from Florida to be black. And Joy Reid, who is a bitter racist. And Joy Reid used to be somewhat interesting on television, but she has become a big disappointment. Cut 21. The fact that you see a black man as a prop, Joy Reid says a lot more about you than it does about Tim Scott. I see a United States Senator. And if you really were interested in unity or fair treatment or respect in civil discourse, that's what you would see too. So I guess that's Trey Gowdy, not Joy Reid. Just based on the Southern drawl. I'm not really sure what Joy Reid said, so we're going to need to clarify that. So let's go to cut 22 of Tim Scott responding to Joy Reid. I could just guess what Joy Reid said. She probably said that Tim Scott was being used as a prop and that he wasn't really a Black person. Cut 22. Well, thank you, Trey. Let me just say this. On what you just said, woke supremacy is as bad as white supremacy. We need to take that seriously. And to all those folks who oppose good common sense, Matthew 5:44 is still available to be read in red. Senator Tim Scott, I applaud you. I think at times you do a little bit too much to pander to the Republican establishment. But that statement right there took moral Courage. And I want to congratulate you for that and say we stand with you 100%. Because to say that woke supremacy is as big of a dangerous as white supremacy is 100% true and will drive the leftists nuts. They believe that white supremacy is everywhere. It's in the sky, it's in the rivers, it's in the water, it's in. It's in the air. White supremacy is who we are. It's in the DNA. And only a racist revolution can change that. Tim Scott grew up in North Charleston. He's lived the American dream. He is a black senator from a state that the liberals call racist. If South Carolina was so racist, why did they elect a black senator? Senator Tim Scott has lived a remarkable life and he advocates for the correct policies to. To allow more people to live remarkable lives. Again. At times, Tim Scott is a little bit too much in the Republican establishment for my own liking. But this is courageous, saying that woke supremacy and white supremacy are equal dangers. In fact, I would say woke supremacy is a greater danger. But even putting them on the same playing field is exactly right. Now, what is woke supremacy? Woke supremacy is what has infiltrated Coca Cola. It's what's infiltrated the Illinois State Board of Education. It's what has infiltrated the Arizona Department of Education. That whiteness must be stopped. That all white people act a certain way. That our entire culture is a symptom of white supremacy. And again, I'm not really sure what Joy Reid said, but I'm guessing she said that Tim Scott was being used as a prop. This goes to a broader theme that we have been building out. That the Democrats are so focused on skin color as a distraction because if they actually had to have a robust conversation on policy, they would lose. They would lose not just elections, but they would lose the support of the American people. So therefore, the Democrats are trying to build a woke supremacist coalition. Great term, Senator Tim Scott. To build together different factions and forces that will force you into submission. If you are a white Anglo Saxon Protestant male, of which I am infinitely guilty of that. It's how I was born. I will not apologize for that. No one should apologize. Unless you yourself have done something wrong. Do not apologize for something your ancestors did or did not do. There is no such thing as multi generational privilege. It does not exist. There is. Every single person is responsible for their own actions. And I can prove it. Prove it. Through the saga of all the royals, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are miserable. Despite being boring with all the trappings of privilege and all the infinite fame and dollars that Harry had and Meghan Bor was born into. And then what does she do? She attacks it endlessly. Every individual is responsible for their own actions. Do circumstances play a role? Of course they play a role. 2. Parent privilege is the true privilege in this country. But you go back to Aristotelian logic. The thing that is most important is your agency, your decisions, your consciousness, who you are. Stop blaming other people for your problems. I don't always do this, but I think it would actually be very helpful and fun. We asked people to leave reviews on the Charlie Kirk show podcast and you could do that by going to your Apple iPhone or your Android on your podcast app. On iPhone it is a purple app. It's right up there and it says podcasts plural. Hit that and then in the search bar, type in Charlie Kirk show hit subscribe. We're currently number five in Apple news and I think 27 overall of all podcasts. So thank you for that. People leave reviews here. I love reading the reviews. I love the critical reviews. I love critical feedback. I know that sounds strange, but I actually enjoy feedback because I get to see am I right? I like having my beliefs challenged. You can always do that. Freedomarliekirk.com and so this guy here who says his name or her name is second variety, it's written like an angry man would and it says Kirkey Pundamentalism. It's actually, you got to give him some credit, Pundamentalism. It's not bad. So here's his critique of our program. Kirk gives his myopic take on certain philosophers that lived in the realm of bygone days, who knew nothing of gene editing, quantum physics, or even the importance of hand Washington. But SPINS has personal opinions by trying to convince listeners on how they have remained the same by outdated philosophical and biblical mind frames which use simplistic good and evil as argument. Okay, so let's just take this one at a time. The Importance of Hand Washing this guy who wrote this review, and this is just a very typical example of the pride and the hubris of the left. This guy doesn't know the Bible. Does he know that the Bible literally popularized and spread the idea of hand washing? Hand washing comes from the Bible. There are dozens of verses in the Bible that talk about the need of hand washing. In fact, even so much, if you go into a true kosher restaurant, they have hand washing stations because the Jews, the Israelites, the Hebrews, God's chosen people, understood germ Theory before it was articulated in scientific journals. For example, Isaiah 1:16, 20. So wash your hands and make yourselves clean. That's pretty clear. There are dozens of verses that talk about the need to wash your hands all throughout Leviticus. And again, this guy has no wisdom, but he thinks he has discovered something new because he thinks that Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, the people that lived amongst that time, did not even understand the importance of handwashing, when actually it's one of the greatest cell phones in the critiques of public media, where it's actually the exact opposite. The people that I talk about that were around 2,400 years ago, they didn't just understand the importance of hand Washington, they made it a law. The Jewish people made it a law that you must wash your hands. He continue. He says again how things have remained the same by outdated philosophical and biblical mind frames which use simplistic good and evil as an argument. You see, this is a logical fallacy. In this man, or I think it's a man, it's just written in a certain diction. Outdated. What's outdated about the Bible? You mean it's old? You see, that's a logical fallacy. Old and outdated are not the same thing. Outdated would mean as if the times have moved past the truths of the text. That's not true. I could name plenty of texts that are outdated. For example, Darwinian justifications of eugenics and slavery. That is outdated. The Bible has no such text. Of that, the man continues. Brain science has come a long way in a short time to help us understand why we behave the way we do. Really? Okay. The prefrontal cortex, which helps put the brakes on impulsiveness, isn't fully developed until our twenties. That is true. The Bible addresses that. By the way, it's exactly why it says teach a child in your way so that they may go straight. And I'm paraphrasing. The idea of childhood development was incredibly important in the Bible. That's why we often do dumb things as young adults. I wonder if the Bible ever addresses doing young things, dumb things as adults. For do not follow your heart, of which you will go the way of a fool. This sounds like someone who's never read Proverbs. This continues. Actually, I think it's important to go through this because this, this is written like a professor. Charlie tries to convince listeners how things have remained the same, which they have by outdated philosophical and biblical mind frames which use simplistic and evil as an argument, and says that people back in the biblical days did not understand the Importance of handwashing, when in reality it's the Bible which made it a law. He continues by saying our physiological development, an outcome, has no premise in good or evil, but is based on luck. Lucky fetal development, lucky gene expressions, lucky parental guidance. Well, at least he admits that parental guidance is important. So there must be a good parental guidance and a bad parental guidance. He says there's no such thing as good and evil. Sounds like a Nietzscheite. If you don't know who Frederick Nietzsche is, you've probably lived a good life. Don't recommend reading him. Lucky nurturing cultural experiences. So what I always love about people that say everything is luck, which is exactly what the secular nihilists are all about, is that you must then admit that there's a good side of the coin, luck. The idea of luck is inherent, that there is either heads or tails is better. Or if you have a thing of dice. The point is that there's a hierarchy of what the output of luck can eventually get you to. And I agree that there's luck. There's a lot of luck in life. Of course there is. Religious people don't always agree with that. You can call it a different thing. You can call it God's intervention, God's grace, God's sovereignty. The secular term is luck for it. So I'll take him for his own word. But the idea that you dismiss good and evil and embrace luck is, on itself, logically inconsistent. So if I have a coin and I say heads means I'm going to live a certain way, and tails means I'm going to live another way, and then I ask the critic of whom has left this review in our podcast feed, which one is good and which one is bad or which one is better and which one is worse? Even they have to choose. That's inherent in believing in luck. And part of this is what he says is lucky parental guidance. Well, what is good parental guidance, then? Show me. Purely through science and through reason. Purely. No faith, no biblical text, no traditions, no cultural norms, no morals. Just in a laboratory. Go in a laboratory and tell me what good parental parenting is. You can have as many scientists as you want go into a laboratory for a decade and come out and tell me what you believe good parental guidance is. You might get close on certain things. And this is where Sam Harris, who wrote the Moral Landscape, I think that's the name of his book, read it a long time ago. And Sam Harris has gone off the reservation lately. He used to be so reasonable. And for a man who says he believes in nothing but reason. He has been a big disappointment on speech, on censorship. I call him the Pope of Atheism because atheism is a religion and he's very articulate, he's a very smart guy. I will say Sam Harris has a much higher IQ than I do. It's true he is a neuro scientist, but there is a God sized gap, I believe in Sam Harris's worldview where Sam Harris believes that you can actually deduce morality from observing the natural world. And he comes across the exact same struggle that Christopher Hitchens and Dawkins and many other of the four horsemen of the atheist movement came across. Which is the is ought problem. I could tell you what is, but I can't tell you what ought to be by just viewing the natural world. He tries to admit it in Sam Harris's defense, he tries to overcome it in the book and I don't think he does so successfully. I think that it is a, it is inherent in the belief in atheism that they will never overcome the is ought problem. Their critique of us religious folks is that we can never overcome the is problem. And Sam Harris is a very intelligent person, but he's lacking in wisdom, especially recently. Now a great question we should ask our children is what is wisdom? This is why studying Aristotle is so important. But this person who left this review says, ah, if it's old, it must be outdated. You see, that which is old does not mean that is outdated. Maybe it is timeless. See, Aristotle famously said there are two types of knowledge, practical knowledge and eternal knowledge. And eternal knowledge he called wisdom. Practical knowledge are things that are helpful but they change. For example, who's your US Senator? It's practical that can change. What's the capital of Ohio? It's practical, but it can change. But wisdom is the knowledge of things that never change. And this is truly what this whole divide in America is about is you have half the country that believes because time moves forward because we are in this long march of the institutions. Human beings change alongside of it. You look, listen to this review that this guy left. Quantum physics, gene editing and they didn't even know about hand washing in the Bible. Not true. But they actually knew a lot more about our earth than you might give them credit about credit too. So where do you find wisdom? The number one answer from the secular list. Oh, we find wisdom through life experience. That is partially true. Or my favorite is I find wisdom from my favorite television shows. Where do you think a lot of those television shows are copying and borrowing from the eternal text of human behavior, which of course is the Bible, most specifically Proverbs. And the actual title of the Book of Proverbs, and we'll have our production team look it up. I believe is the Solomon Book of Wisdom, otherwise known as Proverbs. You can find the long. It has a longer title than we just call it the Book of Proverbs, but I believe wisdom is in the title, you see, but the secularists of which this critique of thrown at me is given. And you guys can read it for yourself on the Charlie Kirk show podcast page. And I encourage you guys to do that. While you're at it, hit us a subscribe and give us a review if you think it's helpful. Is that so much time has passed since Aristotle and Abraham. So much time has passed since Plato and Jesus were so much smarter than them. Now, you might know a little bit more about how the natural world operates, but the natural world operates exactly the same. The laws of nature go unchanged. Regardless of how powerful your telescope is or your microscope. The laws of nature are the same today as they were when Aristotle walked the earth. And so it's very interesting. I was looking for this verse and I finally found it. This is an example of how the tech giants want to secularize our country. If you type into Google spherical Earth verse, the first 15 results are all about how the book of the Bible is a book of a flat earth book. It's true. That's what they write. So and it's from Brown University. It's from all these different schools where they're teaching the students that the Bible argued for a flat earth or it articulated a flat earth. Do you know that it's. That's not only true, the opposite is true. Isaiah 40:22, and I quote, it is he, God who sits above the circle of the earth. Now, this is well before the first known theory of a spherical earth was introduced from the Platonic Academy by a man by the name of Erotosthenes or Erostathenesis. I would have to ask Victor Davis Hanson how to pronounce that correctly. How would God's chosen people, the Israelites, know that the earth is spherical? Maybe because the text was divinely inspired. There is not one scientific truth in the Bible that has ever been disproven. The critique that this man would give, that he gave on our podcast is what about the supernatural intervention? And the answer those of us that believe in faith would answer is saying that is God temporarily suspending the laws of nature for his own intervention? That does not disprove it did not happen. But let me give you some examples also. It says in Job 26:10 that God has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters at the boundary of light and darkness. A circle, not a flat earth. The Bible knew the earth was a spherical object. Exists obviously a very large object. Do you know the Bible also says that the air has weight, which we know it to be true. Job 28:25 imparted weight to the wind and meted out of the waters by measurements. Galileo was the first person to theorize this, I believe. Nearly 1400 to 2000 years later. How about Jonah 2. 6, a book of the Bible that is commonly mocked by Bill Maher and the atheists. Who could believe that someone got swallowed by a whale? Now, leaving aside the robust debate that happens between whether or not that is an allegory or a literal narrative, of which I believe it is a literal narrative. What does it say in Jonah 2:6? Quote, I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth with her bars was about me forever. What is that saying? That there are mountains under the sea of which we know to be true. How on earth would someone 2000 years ago know that there were mountains below the sea? It's a pretty big guess to be right about to write into a biblical text. Maybe because it was divinely inspired. There was a practice that was commonly done by the name of blood letting. Bloodletting was done by every single mainstream culture, but Jewish people never did it. Or at least it was never endorsed. Leviticus 17:11. The life of the flesh is in the blood. There's more wisdom out there than your professors might tell you. He continues by saying Charlie Kirk seems unlucky in certain brain developmental aspects. He might be true, but I work harder than you by not exhibiting a sound analytical approach, but instead choosing to focus give blame to a political party for conditions caused solely by a viral pandemic. You see, this is how I know this guy has no wisdom. Most of the suffering of the last year has nothing to do with the virus. It's our reaction to the virus. It's the lockdowns, the school closures, the business lockdowns. He finishes by saying this warped kind of Christian pundamentalism. I do have to say that's actually very good pundamentalism. It's very clever and that's very good. It's clever. Maybe kem the ruination of society if it continues without impunity. Who actually built the society that you think it's going to ruin. I hear this thing all over again. The Bible and Christians are going to ruin society. Hold on a second. What society are you talking about? You're talking about secular Malibu. Are you talking about the country that was founded on Christian biblical ideas? I was interfaced. The guy that found who founded VeggieTales, what's his name? Phil Vischer or something. He comes out, he has this whole thing about how terrible of a person I am. I didn't even watch the video. Someone sent it to us@freedom charliekirk.com I said, get in line, man. Phil Vischer, Yeah, I used to like his stuff. Veggie Tales had so much, so much depth to it. Yeah, he's become a very angry person. He says that I'm a white nationalist racist, all that nonsense. And I would love to ask him because he just, he's very focused on, in his own words, you know, he platformed lecrae and all that stuff, but his own words, he really seems like a critic against conservative nationalism or whatever it is. And again, I don't like these terms or these labels. And I just want to ask him and so many others, is there a difference between countries? Do you think it's easier to spread the gospel in America or North Korea? And if the answer is oh, it's equally as easy, then the conversation is over and just go back to have cucumbers tell us a story of Esther or whatever he's done right. Instead any honest person would of course say, of course there's a difference between North Korea and America. Therefore politics matter, therefore the leaders matter, therefore your decisions matter. So if you care about the gospel and you care about spreading the good news, you should care about the country of which you live in so that then you can practice your religion. The freedom to which practice your religion is directly under attack. It's under attack by one political party and it's being protected by another. And the kind of indifference or apathy among so many Christians and the self righteousness by these on the fence critics is exhausting to deal with. And God bless people like Eric Metaxas and Rob McCoy and Steve Smotherman and, and Jurgen and James Cadiz, Ken Graves. There's so many great ones out there, David Engelhardt, that are unafraid to actually comment on these issues. And so when I read this, they say, oh, you're going to ruin society. What society are you exactly talking about? These ideas built this society. God granted rights, a vertical relationship made in the image of God, consciousness, expression, speech, assembly, private property, rights, due process. And if anyone who dares lay this accusation not know about William Blackstone or John Locke or Edmund Burke or what Thomas Jefferson actually believed and his legitimate beliefs against slavery, who he thought he thought slavery was a sin was evil. In fact, the first draft of of the Declaration of Independence in his handwriting he harshly went after King George. That was Thomas Jefferson's belief. Thomas Jefferson argued for abolition of slavery in the Virginia House of Commons. The document that Thomas Jefferson did write and publish, the Declaration of Independence, resulted in the abolition of slavery in Vermont in 1777. Thomas Jefferson signed a moratorium of importing of slaves into America as soon as he took office. Most colleges, teachers and secular leaders won't tell you that.
