Charlie Kirk Today | Charlie Kirk: September 10, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | September 10, 2025

Brought to you in part by the
00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.492
International fellowship of christians and jews.
00:00:02.492 --> 00:00:14.537
When in the course of human events,
00:00:15.305 --> 00:00:16.539
It becomes necessary
00:00:16.539 --> 00:00:18.174
For one people to dissolve the political bands
00:00:18.174 --> 00:00:20.176
Which have connected them with another,
00:00:20.176 --> 00:00:23.113
And to assume among the powers of the earth,
00:00:23.113 --> 00:00:25.048
The separate and equal station
00:00:25.048 --> 00:00:26.249
In which the laws of nature and nature's god entitle them.
00:00:26.249 --> 00:00:29.919
A decent respect to the opinions of mankind
00:00:30.820 --> 00:00:33.790
Requires that they should declare
00:00:33.790 --> 00:00:35.358
The causes which impel them to separation.
00:00:35.358 --> 00:00:37.861
We hold these truths to be self-evident,
00:00:37.861 --> 00:00:41.297
That all men are created equal, that they are endowed
00:00:41.297 --> 00:00:44.567
By their creator
00:00:44.567 --> 00:00:47.604
With certain unalienable rights, that among
00:00:47.604 --> 00:00:50.006
These are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:00:50.006 --> 00:00:52.408
That to secure these rights, governments are instituted
00:00:52.408 --> 00:00:54.878
Among men, deriving their just powers from the consent
00:00:54.878 --> 00:00:58.014
Of the governed, that whenever any form of government
00:00:58.014 --> 00:01:00.884
Becomes destructive to these ends of these ends,
00:01:00.884 --> 00:01:03.686
It is the right of the people to alter or abolish it
00:01:03.686 --> 00:01:06.656
And to institute a new government,
00:01:06.656 --> 00:01:08.758
Laying its foundation on such principles.
00:01:08.758 --> 00:01:10.793
Organizing its powers in such form as them shall seem
00:01:10.793 --> 00:01:14.264
Most likely to affect their safety and happiness.
00:01:14.264 --> 00:01:17.767
That is the beginning of our birth certificate.
00:01:17.767 --> 00:01:20.503
That is our birth day, july 4th, 1776.
00:01:21.271 --> 00:01:25.041
That is the declaration of independence.
00:01:25.041 --> 00:01:27.443
Now you read this,
00:01:27.443 --> 00:01:28.711
Articulated by thomas jefferson and the american founders,
00:01:28.711 --> 00:01:33.082
Is a theory and an
00:01:33.516 --> 00:01:36.152
Understanding of natural rights and government.
00:01:36.152 --> 00:01:39.789
This is very simple elementary stuff said differently.
00:01:39.789 --> 00:01:43.560
Our rights come from god, not from government.
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:48.932
It makes our country unique.
00:01:48.932 --> 00:01:50.533
What are natural rights?
00:01:50.533 --> 00:01:51.901
Natural rights are basic freedoms
00:01:51.901 --> 00:01:53.870
We are born with because we are human,
00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:56.940
The first of which is life,
00:01:57.540 --> 00:01:59.275
Then liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
00:01:59.275 --> 00:02:01.377
You do not earn them and no government gives them to you.
00:02:01.377 --> 00:02:04.914
They are built in.
00:02:04.914 --> 00:02:07.383
Everybody what you're about to listen to
00:02:07.383 --> 00:02:09.385
Is exhibit a of evidence that the democrat party
00:02:09.385 --> 00:02:12.155
Represents a country not called america.
00:02:12.155 --> 00:02:16.492
The democrat party,
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.462
They believe in a country
00:02:19.462 --> 00:02:20.830
That is not this country.
00:02:20.830 --> 00:02:24.067
Tim kaine
00:02:24.367 --> 00:02:26.970
Oh, what he says here,
00:02:26.970 --> 00:02:29.239
If what he says is true,
00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:31.674
Then what we are is no different than china.
00:02:31.674 --> 00:02:34.077
If what he says is true,
00:02:34.077 --> 00:02:35.411
We are no different than north korean.
00:02:35.411 --> 00:02:37.113
Chinese people have rights.
00:02:37.113 --> 00:02:39.015
They are just granted or denied by their government.
00:02:39.015 --> 00:02:42.785
We are leading with this today
00:02:43.386 --> 00:02:44.754
Because this is without a doubt
00:02:44.754 --> 00:02:46.322
One of the most important chilling clips ever.
00:02:46.322 --> 00:02:49.225
And it's not even about making fun of him.
00:02:49.225 --> 00:02:51.261
This shows
00:02:51.261 --> 00:02:52.362
That we are up against an existential, parasitic force
00:02:52.362 --> 00:02:55.665
That does not even share our simple birth certificate.
00:02:55.665 --> 00:03:00.570
They have a different birth certificate for america
00:03:00.570 --> 00:03:02.839
And it's not the declaration of independence.
00:03:02.839 --> 00:03:04.641
Here is tim kaine play cut 342.
00:03:04.641 --> 00:03:08.711
Notion that rights don't come from laws
00:03:08.711 --> 00:03:11.547
And don't come from the government,
00:03:11.547 --> 00:03:14.050
But come from the creator.
00:03:14.050 --> 00:03:15.818
That's what the iranian government believes.
00:03:15.818 --> 00:03:17.820
It's a theocratic regime that bases its rule on shia law
00:03:17.820 --> 00:03:23.092
And targets sunnis behind
00:03:23.660 --> 00:03:25.962
Jews, christians and other religious minorities.
00:03:25.962 --> 00:03:29.365
And they do it because they believe
00:03:29.365 --> 00:03:31.234
That they understand what natural rights
00:03:31.234 --> 00:03:33.136
Are from their creator.
00:03:33.136 --> 00:03:34.771
So the statement that
00:03:35.271 --> 00:03:37.340
Our rights do not come from our laws or
00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:40.343
Our governments is extremely troubling.
00:03:40.343 --> 00:03:43.279
He believes the government gives you rights, that laws
00:03:43.279 --> 00:03:46.549
Give you rights.
00:03:46.549 --> 00:03:48.084
That's why he's okay with aborting babies.
00:03:48.084 --> 00:03:51.554
Because those humans have no rights.
00:03:51.554 --> 00:03:53.489
Because the government hasn't given those rights to him.
00:03:53.489 --> 00:03:56.626
That's that's why he's fine with mutilating kids
00:03:57.627 --> 00:03:59.896
And trans surgeries,
00:03:59.896 --> 00:04:00.963
Because those kids have no rights,
00:04:00.963 --> 00:04:02.265
Because the government hasn't given those rights.
00:04:02.265 --> 00:04:05.568
Yeah, he's fine with potentially gulags
00:04:05.568 --> 00:04:08.071
Because the government, there's nothing wrong with mass
00:04:08.071 --> 00:04:09.906
Murdering people in gulags
00:04:09.906 --> 00:04:11.107
Because the government didn't give those rights to them.
00:04:11.107 --> 00:04:12.909
The government decided not to give them those rights.
00:04:12.909 --> 00:04:14.777
And someone should ask tim kaine, tim kaine,
00:04:14.777 --> 00:04:17.980
We're not even gonna use the holocaust example
00:04:18.948 --> 00:04:20.750
Because that one is overused.
00:04:20.750 --> 00:04:21.984
Was mao wrong
00:04:21.984 --> 00:04:24.654
To mass murder millions of people?
00:04:25.388 --> 00:04:27.123
The government decided not to give those people rights.
00:04:27.123 --> 00:04:30.026
We believe in something transcendent above government.
00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:34.731
That government appeals towards government's job
00:04:34.731 --> 00:04:37.834
Is to protect our unalienable rights that we were born with,
00:04:37.834 --> 00:04:41.738
That every human being is born with
00:04:41.738 --> 00:04:44.907
Our rights coming from god makes them inalienable
00:04:44.907 --> 00:04:47.677
Because they are rooted in the equal,
00:04:47.677 --> 00:04:49.579
God given dignity shared by all human beings.
00:04:49.579 --> 00:04:52.749
This is a inarguable spiritual element to our nation.
00:04:52.749 --> 00:04:57.353
Some people say, oh, tim kaine is kind of dumb.
00:04:57.353 --> 00:04:59.789
Obviously he is.
00:04:59.789 --> 00:05:00.890
He went to harvard, but that means absolutely nothing.
00:05:00.890 --> 00:05:03.526
But it's worse than that. he didn't come up with this.
00:05:03.526 --> 00:05:05.695
He is simply a mockingbird parroting
00:05:05.695 --> 00:05:07.764
Something that is infected the democrat party.
00:05:07.764 --> 00:05:10.433
They don't think we have inalienable rights.
00:05:10.433 --> 00:05:12.668
They think there's nothing speci
00:05:12.668 --> 00:05:15.538
If rights come
00:05:15.872 --> 00:05:16.672
From the government, the government
00:05:16.672 --> 00:05:17.907
Can take them away whenever they want.
00:05:17.907 --> 00:05:19.409
They can take away your right
00:05:19.409 --> 00:05:20.309
To speech and yes, your right to life.
00:05:20.309 --> 00:05:23.813
They can drone strike you whenever you want.
00:05:23.813 --> 00:05:26.649
This is why america's unique.
00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:29.051
Let me repeat again all men are created
00:05:29.051 --> 00:05:31.254
Equal, endowed by their creator
00:05:31.254 --> 00:05:33.189
With certain unalienable rights.
00:05:33.189 --> 00:05:35.725
This is why we are a refuge for liberty.
00:05:35.725 --> 00:05:37.960
The founders tied our freedom to something higher
00:05:37.960 --> 00:05:40.663
Than politics.
00:05:40.663 --> 00:05:45.668
Tim kaine.
00:05:45.968 --> 00:05:49.238
Acts as if our rights are like
00:05:49.238 --> 00:05:51.140
A driver's license.
00:05:51.140 --> 00:05:54.177
Driver's licenses can be given, suspended or revoked.
00:05:54.177 --> 00:05:57.313
That's what god got.
00:05:57.780 --> 00:05:59.215
Government given rights look like government
00:05:59.215 --> 00:06:01.884
Given rights are like driver's licenses.
00:06:01.884 --> 00:06:04.821
We believe that natural rights
00:06:04.821 --> 00:06:08.191
Are your birthright.
00:06:08.658 --> 00:06:10.393
You don't apply for them.
00:06:10.393 --> 00:06:11.360
They're yours by birth.
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.229
It's because you're human.
00:06:13.229 --> 00:06:15.998
If tim kaine is, if tim kane is right, stalin was justified.
00:06:15.998 --> 00:06:19.502
Hitler was justified.
00:06:19.502 --> 00:06:20.770
Mao was justified.
00:06:20.770 --> 00:06:22.138
Maduro is justified.
00:06:22.138 --> 00:06:24.273
Rights aren't favors from politicians.
00:06:24.273 --> 00:06:27.677
Government does not give you freedom.
00:06:28.478 --> 00:06:30.246
It protects the freedom you already have
00:06:30.246 --> 00:06:31.848
Because you are a human being made in the image of god.
00:06:31.848 --> 00:06:35.117
And the natural law dictates that
00:06:35.117 --> 00:06:38.354
If government can give them to, you could take them away.
00:06:38.354 --> 00:06:40.790
That's not freedom.
00:06:40.790 --> 00:06:42.258
These are not privileges, is not preferences.
00:06:42.258 --> 00:06:44.760
There's something special about being a human being,
00:06:44.760 --> 00:06:46.829
And that is not just some local yokel.
00:06:46.829 --> 00:06:48.764
That's not just some sort of person on college campus.
00:06:48.764 --> 00:06:50.733
That is a u.s.
00:06:50.733 --> 00:06:51.534
Senator who almost became vice
00:06:51.534 --> 00:06:53.569
President of united states in 2016,
00:06:53.569 --> 00:06:56.973
That that yammering fool was inches away.
00:06:56.973 --> 00:07:01.244
He was 40,000 votes away from becoming
00:07:01.244 --> 00:07:04.914
The vice president of states under hillary clinton.
00:07:04.914 --> 00:07:07.783
So this is an existential issue and a little window
00:07:07.783 --> 00:07:11.787
Into what we're fighting against.
00:07:11.787 --> 00:07:13.689
This is more
00:07:14.023 --> 00:07:15.157
Than just a difference of opinion.
00:07:15.157 --> 00:07:18.427
It's a difference of birth. right.
00:07:18.427 --> 00:07:20.162
We'll be right back.
00:07:20.162 --> 00:07:24.901
In genesis
00:07:25.201 --> 00:07:26.102
12 three, god made a powerful promise
00:07:26.102 --> 00:07:28.738
To abraham, the father of the jewish people.
00:07:28.738 --> 00:07:31.941
I will bless those who bless you.
00:07:31.941 --> 00:07:35.144
The christian bible tells us
00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:36.679
That we have been grafted into god's family tree.
00:07:36.679 --> 00:07:39.649
The rich olive tree of israel,
00:07:39.649 --> 00:07:42.051
The very foundations of the christian faith,
00:07:42.051 --> 00:07:44.453
The bible and jesus, whom christians call
00:07:44.453 --> 00:07:47.056
The messiah, are deeply rooted in israel.
00:07:47.056 --> 00:07:50.526
Supporting israel aligns christians with god's
00:07:50.526 --> 00:07:53.162
Prophetic timeline.
00:07:53.162 --> 00:07:54.530
It demonstrates our willingness to be instruments of
00:07:54.530 --> 00:07:57.767
God's blessing, uplifting his chosen people,
00:07:57.767 --> 00:08:01.337
And it calls us to confront and heal
00:08:01.337 --> 00:08:03.639
The centuries old wounds of anti-semitism.
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.676
The scripture says how good and how
00:08:06.676 --> 00:08:09.111
Pleasant it is when brethren dwell together.
00:08:09.111 --> 00:08:12.415
You can be part of this historic movement
00:08:12.415 --> 00:08:15.952
Of bringing light to our world.

J.org today.
00:08:23.007 --> 00:08:32.069
So last night on cnn, the only time i ever watch
00:08:33.036 --> 00:08:35.372
Cnn is when they mention me or scott jennings
00:08:35.372 --> 00:08:38.408
Own somebody.
00:08:38.408 --> 00:08:39.610
So van jones, who's actually a very pleasant person, he's
00:08:39.610 --> 00:08:42.346
Actually the nicest communist i ever met. my life.
00:08:42.346 --> 00:08:44.615
And he's very sweet.
00:08:44.615 --> 00:08:45.649
I met him, during one of my things
00:08:45.649 --> 00:08:48.418
I shouldn't have been doing, which was advocating for
00:08:48.418 --> 00:08:51.154
Prison reform, is i'm atoning for my sins.
00:08:51.154 --> 00:08:53.624
Everybody okay?
00:08:53.624 --> 00:08:55.258
Anyway, so.
00:08:55.258 --> 00:08:56.193
So van jones
00:08:56.193 --> 00:08:58.161
Was talking about me, and there's so much
00:08:58.161 --> 00:09:00.063
There's so many lies involved in what he said here.
00:09:00.063 --> 00:09:02.733
First of all, i never said the first album and what he said.
00:09:02.733 --> 00:09:04.868
I did say the second part, but this is a very
00:09:04.868 --> 00:09:07.037
Important thing to focus on.
00:09:07.037 --> 00:09:08.572
So van jones is saying i should be ashamed of myself.
00:09:08.572 --> 00:09:12.476
And just reminder, the murder of arenas, the roots.
00:09:12.476 --> 00:09:15.646
Scott, did you know that the attacker
00:09:15.646 --> 00:09:17.381
Said, quote, i got that white girl.
00:09:17.381 --> 00:09:20.083
The attacker racialized this.
00:09:20.083 --> 00:09:21.818
Just for the record.
00:09:21.818 --> 00:09:23.587
Now, mind you, do you notice that the media
00:09:23.587 --> 00:09:25.455
All of a sudden tries to play the moral high ground
00:09:25.455 --> 00:09:27.658
When we start to try to make them
00:09:27.658 --> 00:09:29.326
Live up to the standard that they created
00:09:29.326 --> 00:09:31.862
And the construct that they forced
00:09:31.862 --> 00:09:33.864
And the paradigm that they constituted
00:09:33.864 --> 00:09:37.100
Under george floyd,
00:09:37.100 --> 00:09:38.168
The moment that we make them
00:09:38.168 --> 00:09:39.903
Have to live up to their own standard,
00:09:39.903 --> 00:09:41.805
They start to cry foul.
00:09:41.805 --> 00:09:43.707
As soon as we start to make them
00:09:43.707 --> 00:09:45.409
Live up to the george floyd standard.
00:09:45.409 --> 00:09:47.277
Oh, what is charlie kirk rationalizing this?
00:09:47.277 --> 00:09:49.346
And by the way, van jones also has a major
00:09:49.346 --> 00:09:52.983
Lie embedded into this whole thing.
00:09:52.983 --> 00:09:56.086
Listen carefully.
00:09:56.520 --> 00:09:57.754
Race hustler, marxist van jones, by the way, van,
00:09:57.754 --> 00:10:00.424
You're welcome on my program. i'll treat you well.
00:10:00.424 --> 00:10:02.192
I will give you an uninterrupted
00:10:02.192 --> 00:10:03.560
Opening statement.
00:10:03.560 --> 00:10:04.628
Van jones, if you want to go talk
00:10:04.628 --> 00:10:05.996
About black crime and urban decay, man,
00:10:05.996 --> 00:10:08.765
You're always welcome on this program.
00:10:08.765 --> 00:10:10.600
Because even though, quote unquote,
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:11.601
You're an expert in race hustling,
00:10:11.601 --> 00:10:14.137
I'm going around the block a couple times. i.
00:10:14.137 --> 00:10:16.373
I know your tricks, and they don't work here.
00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:20.010
Your magical spells don't work here.
00:10:20.010 --> 00:10:22.713
You're a little hocus pocus.
00:10:22.713 --> 00:10:24.014
You are racist.
00:10:24.014 --> 00:10:25.248
Doesn't work here.
00:10:25.248 --> 00:10:26.216
We got holy water here.
00:10:26.216 --> 00:10:27.284
Play got 351 charlie kirk to say we know he did it
00:10:27.284 --> 00:10:31.621
Because she's white
00:10:31.621 --> 00:10:32.723
When there's no evidence of that is just pure race.
00:10:32.723 --> 00:10:35.692
Race mongering, hate mongering.
00:10:35.692 --> 00:10:37.928
It's wrong that he says that if something like
00:10:37.928 --> 00:10:40.664
That had happened the other way,
00:10:40.664 --> 00:10:42.499
There would be sweeping changes imposed on society.
00:10:42.499 --> 00:10:45.302
Where is the george floyd policing act?
00:10:45.302 --> 00:10:47.838
It didn't pass even when you had a white
00:10:47.838 --> 00:10:51.007
Police officer murder a black man on live television.
00:10:51.007 --> 00:10:54.644
The whole world saw there were no sweeping changes.
00:10:54.644 --> 00:10:56.847
In fact,
00:10:56.847 --> 00:10:57.814
Not one law was passed at the federal level
00:10:57.814 --> 00:10:59.449
That we don't know how to deal with people who were hurting
00:10:59.449 --> 00:11:02.385
In the way this man was hurting.
00:11:02.385 --> 00:11:03.720
Hurt people, hurt people.
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:04.788
What happened was horrible. some like charlie kirk,
00:11:04.788 --> 00:11:07.224
He should be ashamed of himself.
00:11:07.224 --> 00:11:09.059
No one mentioned the word
00:11:09.059 --> 00:11:10.127
Race white, black or anything except him.
00:11:10.127 --> 00:11:12.896
When keith
00:11:13.196 --> 00:11:14.331
Ellison, the attorney general of minnesota, was asked
00:11:14.331 --> 00:11:16.566
Repeatedly by the media, was there racial animus
00:11:16.566 --> 00:11:19.336
Involved in derek chauvin's actions against george floyd?
00:11:19.336 --> 00:11:22.239
He said no, and they dodged the question.
00:11:22.239 --> 00:11:24.074
Do you know
00:11:24.074 --> 00:11:25.308
That there is no evidence that derek chauvin acted racially?
00:11:25.308 --> 00:11:27.444
If you think derek chauvin
00:11:27.444 --> 00:11:28.712
Acted racially, then you're racist.
00:11:28.712 --> 00:11:30.514
Then parting racial type
00:11:30.514 --> 00:11:32.315
Fantasies and mythologies into a situation of which
00:11:32.315 --> 00:11:35.252
He doesn't exist.
00:11:35.252 --> 00:11:36.219
And by the way, just if you're taking notes,
00:11:36.219 --> 00:11:37.087
Media matters, george floyd overdosed.
00:11:37.087 --> 00:11:39.389
Okay, you can write that down.
00:11:39.389 --> 00:11:40.524
Take to the bank.
00:11:40.524 --> 00:11:40.991
In fact,
00:11:40.991 --> 00:11:41.691
We have ben shapiro coming up
00:11:41.691 --> 00:11:43.260
Next segment of which i'm going to have him remind us
00:11:43.260 --> 00:11:46.163
Of all the facts. anyway, that's
00:11:46.163 --> 00:11:48.765
Here is the tweet that i sent out.
00:11:49.499 --> 00:11:51.268
Quote, if a random white person simply walked up to
00:11:51.268 --> 00:11:54.404
And stabbed a nice, law abiding black person for no reason,
00:11:54.404 --> 00:11:57.674
It would be an apocalyptic,
00:11:57.674 --> 00:11:59.075
Huge national story used to impose national,
00:11:59.075 --> 00:12:01.411
Sweeping political changes on the whole country.
00:12:01.411 --> 00:12:03.613
Of course this is true.
00:12:03.613 --> 00:12:05.282
Everybody know this is true.
00:12:05.282 --> 00:12:07.484
Our media thirst for stories like this.
00:12:07.484 --> 00:12:09.553
I want you to imagine if a white guy sitting on a bus
00:12:09.553 --> 00:12:12.455
And a black woman just on her phone,
00:12:12.455 --> 00:12:14.124
All of a sudden the white guy took out a knife
00:12:14.124 --> 00:12:16.760
And just stabbed her in the neck repeatedly.
00:12:16.760 --> 00:12:19.496
How do you think our media would react?
00:12:19.496 --> 00:12:21.832
We would have protest.
00:12:21.832 --> 00:12:23.099
Wendy's would have point.
00:12:23.099 --> 00:12:24.434
I'll tell you right now,
00:12:24.434 --> 00:12:25.869
There would be 100 burned wendy's around the world.
00:12:25.869 --> 00:12:28.939
I mean, in every city,
00:12:28.939 --> 00:12:30.640
I mean, it would be so hot on top,
00:12:30.640 --> 00:12:32.209
They'd start burning the denny's.
00:12:32.209 --> 00:12:35.078
They use
00:12:35.345 --> 00:12:36.313
Emmett till 70 years later because of this,
00:12:36.313 --> 00:12:38.648
Because it's a case of a horrifying murder
00:12:38.648 --> 00:12:40.584
Of an innocent black person by hate for whites.
00:12:40.584 --> 00:12:42.819
It's so rare they to go back 70 years.
00:12:42.819 --> 00:12:44.754
But you know what?
00:12:44.754 --> 00:12:45.755
When a
00:12:45.755 --> 00:12:46.957
White person is murdered, we don't burn down the country.
00:12:46.957 --> 00:12:49.793
But when george floyd overdosed on drugs,
00:12:49.793 --> 00:12:52.395
It's floyd a palooza.
00:12:52.395 --> 00:12:54.564
But for the opposite, we have to go back one day.
00:12:54.564 --> 00:12:57.167
Literally. there was another,
00:12:57.167 --> 00:12:58.435
You know, several happened this last week.
00:12:58.435 --> 00:13:00.503
Another white girl
00:13:00.503 --> 00:13:02.105
Was just murdered by a black person in alabama.
00:13:02.105 --> 00:13:05.408
A woman butchered walking her dog.
00:13:05.408 --> 00:13:07.244
There was also one that happened in south carolina
00:13:07.244 --> 00:13:09.346
And one that happened in virginia.
00:13:09.346 --> 00:13:10.947
That is for white women in the american south
00:13:10.947 --> 00:13:13.016
That just recently were butchered by black criminals.
00:13:13.016 --> 00:13:18.655
So we take a step
00:13:19.089 --> 00:13:20.156
Back and say, well, what's really going on here?
00:13:20.156 --> 00:13:22.726
What's really going on here is a situation
00:13:22.726 --> 00:13:25.495
Where van jones is acting like, if i said something
00:13:25.495 --> 00:13:27.998
I did not say, when in reality we're asking a very simple
00:13:27.998 --> 00:13:31.735
Question, mr. jones.
00:13:31.735 --> 00:13:32.669
Very simple question, which is
00:13:32.669 --> 00:13:35.538
Will you apologize for all the criminal justice
00:13:36.506 --> 00:13:38.808
Reform that you pushed forward that allowed these 14 time
00:13:38.808 --> 00:13:41.845
Criminal offenders to walk the streets
00:13:41.845 --> 00:13:43.647
Because you are the architect and the designer
00:13:43.647 --> 00:13:45.949
Of constantly feeling bad for the criminal
00:13:45.949 --> 00:13:48.318
That then can kill more people like arenas or root.
00:13:48.318 --> 00:13:51.154
Scott.
00:13:51.154 --> 00:13:52.522
And by the way, i did not bring up race.
00:13:52.522 --> 00:13:54.257
The attacker said, quote, i got that white girl, end
00:13:54.257 --> 00:13:57.761
Quote. people say, why does the race matter?
00:13:57.761 --> 00:13:59.696
Oh, it matters
00:13:59.696 --> 00:14:00.897
Because you made us care about race in the summer of 2020.
00:14:00.897 --> 00:14:03.366
Looks like you guys live up to the book of your own rules.
00:14:03.366 --> 00:14:05.602
The second that we make you live up
00:14:05.602 --> 00:14:07.437
To your ridiculous paradigm, you collapse
00:14:07.437 --> 00:14:10.040
Like a house of cards. ben shapiro is next.
00:14:10.040 --> 00:14:14.311
I'm proud to partner with amac,

Wing agenda,

Protect social security, defend election integrity,
00:14:34.531 --> 00:14:37.567
And push back against the radical policies
00:14:37.567 --> 00:14:39.836
Tearing our country apart. and the best part?
00:14:39.836 --> 00:14:41.938

Congratulations
00:15:27.151 --> 00:15:28.219
Ben on the new book, the true story of america.
00:15:28.219 --> 00:15:30.888
And we will get to that, in great detail.
00:15:30.888 --> 00:15:33.524
I want everyone to check it out.
00:15:33.524 --> 00:15:34.658
It's lions and scavengers.
00:15:34.658 --> 00:15:36.727
Ben, the previous segment, i was refuting mr.
00:15:36.727 --> 00:15:39.697
Van jones
00:15:39.697 --> 00:15:40.498
On a variety of different things
00:15:40.498 --> 00:15:41.399
Because he decided to attack me on cnn.
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:43.134
But i want to.
00:15:43.134 --> 00:15:43.768
You've done
00:15:43.768 --> 00:15:44.902
Really important work on george floyd's cause of death.
00:15:44.902 --> 00:15:47.538
Can you remind the audience
00:15:47.538 --> 00:15:49.040
What your study in your research
00:15:49.040 --> 00:15:50.708
Showed about george floyd overdosing on drugs?
00:15:50.708 --> 00:15:53.878
Sure. i mean, it was basically just the autopsy report.
00:15:53.878 --> 00:15:55.846
I mean, the autopsy report showed that
00:15:55.846 --> 00:15:57.148
He had a massively enlarged heart,
00:15:57.148 --> 00:15:59.283
That he had extraordinary quantities of drugs,
00:15:59.283 --> 00:16:01.285
Including fentanyl in his system and fentanyl
00:16:01.285 --> 00:16:03.020
To kill a normal person multiple times over.
00:16:03.020 --> 00:16:06.023
The medical evidence does not suggest that he actually died
00:16:06.023 --> 00:16:08.125
As a result of derek chauvin's knee on his neck.
00:16:08.125 --> 00:16:09.994
It suggests that he died as a result of probably excited
00:16:09.994 --> 00:16:12.696
Delirium, meaning elevated heart rate as a result of both
00:16:12.696 --> 00:16:15.666
Ingesting drugs, enlarged heart,
00:16:15.666 --> 00:16:17.701
And the excitement of being arrested.
00:16:17.701 --> 00:16:19.570
Well,
00:16:19.570 --> 00:16:20.471
And on top of that, they also say that
00:16:20.471 --> 00:16:21.705
This was racially motivated.
00:16:21.705 --> 00:16:23.407
Is there any evidence at all
00:16:23.407 --> 00:16:24.642
That there was racial animus in this situation?
00:16:24.642 --> 00:16:26.844
So van jones said it was obviously a racial thing.
00:16:26.844 --> 00:16:29.413
Hold on.
00:16:29.413 --> 00:16:30.281
If you're you're actually imparting
00:16:30.281 --> 00:16:31.182
Your own racial stereotypes
00:16:31.182 --> 00:16:32.650
Onto a situation in which even keith ellison,
00:16:32.650 --> 00:16:34.919
The attorney general of minnesota, rejected
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.188
The claim that race was involved in this,
00:16:37.188 --> 00:16:38.956
Is that correct?
00:16:38.956 --> 00:16:40.057
This is exactly right.
00:16:40.057 --> 00:16:40.991
I mean,
00:16:40.991 --> 00:16:41.926
There was a federal civil rights charge
00:16:41.926 --> 00:16:42.793
That was brought against derek chauvin,
00:16:42.793 --> 00:16:43.994
And it did not even allege
00:16:43.994 --> 00:16:45.463
That there was a violation
00:16:45.463 --> 00:16:46.430
Of civil rights on the basis of race.
00:16:46.430 --> 00:16:47.698
So literally no one not the prosecutors, state,
00:16:47.698 --> 00:16:49.633
Not the prosecutors, federal
00:16:49.633 --> 00:16:50.468
No one made the actual legal claim
00:16:50.468 --> 00:16:53.170
That the actions of derek chauvin were rooted in racism.
00:16:53.170 --> 00:16:55.539
The best available criminal case against derek
00:16:55.539 --> 00:16:57.341
Chauvin would have been like a a low degree manslaughter case
00:16:57.341 --> 00:17:00.778
For negligence in his handling of the actual situation.
00:17:00.778 --> 00:17:03.747
Literally zero evidence was provided to the idea
00:17:03.747 --> 00:17:06.317
That derek chauvin
00:17:06.317 --> 00:17:07.451
Killed george floyd because george floyd was black.
00:17:07.451 --> 00:17:10.321
That just was not. and it wasn't even alleged.
00:17:10.321 --> 00:17:12.756
Ben, tell us about your important new book.
00:17:12.756 --> 00:17:15.126
So the basic idea in lions and scavengers
00:17:15.126 --> 00:17:17.061
Is that inside every human heart.
00:17:17.061 --> 00:17:18.262
And this goes back to the book of genesis,
00:17:18.262 --> 00:17:19.530
That there really is the beautiful part of you
00:17:19.530 --> 00:17:22.533
That wants to engage in what god made for you.
00:17:22.533 --> 00:17:25.302
That is this incredible
00:17:25.302 --> 00:17:26.504
Rationalistic world
00:17:26.504 --> 00:17:27.838
In which you can mostly understand what's going
00:17:27.838 --> 00:17:29.273
On, and you have a duty to do the moral thing.
00:17:29.273 --> 00:17:31.075
You get up every morning, you try to build something,
00:17:31.075 --> 00:17:32.676
You try to be innovative and risk taking you.
00:17:32.676 --> 00:17:34.645
You try to defend your civilization.
00:17:34.645 --> 00:17:36.113
You you try to build the social fabric.
00:17:36.113 --> 00:17:38.082
And then there is a part of us that is driven by envy,
00:17:38.082 --> 00:17:40.751
And that part of us just looks at our problems
00:17:40.751 --> 00:17:42.686
And immediately attributes it
00:17:42.686 --> 00:17:43.854
To some shadowy force outside of our control,
00:17:43.854 --> 00:17:46.090
And tries to rip down the very systems
00:17:46.090 --> 00:17:48.058
That actually provide prosperity, tries
00:17:48.058 --> 00:17:50.027
To rip down the lions out of pure envy here.
00:17:50.027 --> 00:17:52.129
Think zorn, mamdani,
00:17:52.129 --> 00:17:53.397
And you know that that exists in all of us,
00:17:53.397 --> 00:17:55.399
But it exists civilization as well.
00:17:55.399 --> 00:17:56.967
And when you look
00:17:56.967 --> 00:17:58.002
At the sort of activities that were taking place
00:17:58.002 --> 00:17:59.737
On college campus last year,
00:17:59.737 --> 00:18:01.472
And you see the weird agglomeration of causes
00:18:01.472 --> 00:18:04.408
That all come together under varying banners,
00:18:04.408 --> 00:18:06.143
Sometimes it's hating president trump over immigration,
00:18:06.143 --> 00:18:08.345
Sometimes it's on israel, sometimes it's on lgbt,
00:18:08.345 --> 00:18:10.814
But it's the same exact people
00:18:10.814 --> 00:18:12.082
All marching together. and you wonder yourself,
00:18:12.082 --> 00:18:13.984
What do these people have in common?
00:18:13.984 --> 00:18:15.653
And the answer is pretty much nothing.
00:18:15.653 --> 00:18:17.354
Except they really, really don't like our civilization
00:18:17.354 --> 00:18:19.623
And see the fundamental basis of our civilization
00:18:19.623 --> 00:18:22.593
As evil and wrong, and believe that it needs to be torn out
00:18:22.593 --> 00:18:26.163
By the root.
00:18:26.163 --> 00:18:26.830
This is,
00:18:26.830 --> 00:18:27.965
To take the most obvious example, queers for palestine.
00:18:27.965 --> 00:18:29.900
Everyone puzzling over what the hell is that? right?
00:18:29.900 --> 00:18:31.936
Queers in palestine get thrown up, thrown off buildings.
00:18:31.936 --> 00:18:34.572
So what is the answer is that the radical lgbtq group
00:18:34.572 --> 00:18:37.908
Doesn't have much in common with the group,
00:18:37.908 --> 00:18:40.044
Except that both really, really hate the west and believe
00:18:40.044 --> 00:18:42.513
That the traditional values of our civilization
00:18:42.513 --> 00:18:44.582
Need to be destroyed in order so that they can live more
00:18:44.582 --> 00:18:48.686
Fulfilling lives in some way.
00:18:48.686 --> 00:18:50.421
So write, you write in here
00:18:50.421 --> 00:18:52.523
Lions and scavengers saying it's the true story of america.
00:18:52.523 --> 00:18:56.093
And you, you seek to defend the principles that shape
00:18:56.093 --> 00:18:59.463
Freedom of a fair and powerful society.
00:18:59.463 --> 00:19:02.366
We would imagine those emanate from the bible.
00:19:02.366 --> 00:19:05.069
Obviously.
00:19:05.069 --> 00:19:06.237
And is islam compatible with our civilization?
00:19:06.237 --> 00:19:10.407
Would you put them
00:19:10.407 --> 00:19:11.742
And would you put them in the scavenger category?
00:19:11.742 --> 00:19:15.879
I certainly think that in the islamic civilizations
00:19:15.879 --> 00:19:18.816
That we're seeing contemporaneously
00:19:18.816 --> 00:19:20.284
On the globe, it's very hard to see how that fits
00:19:20.284 --> 00:19:22.519
In sort of the lion category.
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:23.721
It doesn't mean that there aren't individual muslims
00:19:23.721 --> 00:19:25.522
Who fit in that category, or that there can't be
00:19:25.522 --> 00:19:27.725
A sort of interpreted version of islam that that couldn't
00:19:27.725 --> 00:19:30.461
Fit into the idea of a god given world
00:19:30.461 --> 00:19:33.631
In which you have duties
00:19:33.631 --> 00:19:34.765
And creative power in line with the kind of general,
00:19:34.765 --> 00:19:37.768
Very broad principles of biblical morality.
00:19:37.768 --> 00:19:39.670
But but i think the proof is in the pudding.
00:19:39.670 --> 00:19:41.872
You're not seeing a lot of
00:19:41.872 --> 00:19:42.873
Islamic countries on planet earth right now
00:19:42.873 --> 00:19:44.642
That live by any of the
00:19:44.642 --> 00:19:45.609
Fundamental principles like freedom of mind,
00:19:45.609 --> 00:19:47.444
Private property,
00:19:47.444 --> 00:19:48.712
Equal rule of law, applying to all citizens,
00:19:48.712 --> 00:19:51.282
And traditional virtue.
00:19:51.282 --> 00:19:53.050
What would you say
00:19:53.484 --> 00:19:55.219
Is the missing component for those of us in the west
00:19:55.219 --> 00:19:58.822
To stand up against these forces?
00:19:58.822 --> 00:20:02.326
What would you say?
00:20:02.326 --> 00:20:03.394
We're doing well, and that we need to do more of?
00:20:03.394 --> 00:20:05.562
I mean, i think that what we lack,
00:20:05.562 --> 00:20:07.231
And i think we're starting to see a restoration of it,
00:20:07.231 --> 00:20:09.066
Is the courage
00:20:09.066 --> 00:20:09.933
To actually stand up on our hind
00:20:09.933 --> 00:20:11.001
Legs and say, no, i think that good people tend
00:20:11.001 --> 00:20:13.737
To be introspective.
00:20:13.737 --> 00:20:14.672
We tend to think, okay, what did i do wrong?
00:20:14.672 --> 00:20:16.407
How do i fix that?
00:20:16.407 --> 00:20:17.474
We tend to apologize when we do something wrong.
00:20:17.474 --> 00:20:19.410
Bad people tend to take an apology
00:20:19.410 --> 00:20:21.211
And then grind your face into the dust over it.
00:20:21.211 --> 00:20:23.180
Because they're not engaged in guilt cultures.
00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:25.649
They're engaged in what are called
00:20:25.649 --> 00:20:26.583
Shame cultures, where the most important thing
00:20:26.583 --> 00:20:28.619
Is not to be made to feel shame,
00:20:28.619 --> 00:20:30.721
And it is to shame others.
00:20:30.721 --> 00:20:32.089
And so i think that we, you know, those of us
00:20:32.089 --> 00:20:34.325
Who consider ourselves part of western civilization,
00:20:34.325 --> 00:20:36.593
You know, we need to recognize
00:20:36.593 --> 00:20:38.729
That a constant self-abnegation,
00:20:38.729 --> 00:20:41.131
A constant attempt to tear ourselves down
00:20:41.131 --> 00:20:43.033
Out of a misguided sense of humility
00:20:43.033 --> 00:20:44.935
In the face of people who are happy to
00:20:44.935 --> 00:20:46.770
Just destroy our civilization from without and within.
00:20:46.770 --> 00:20:49.006
That is a gigantic mistake, and it is totally vain to say
00:20:49.006 --> 00:20:52.343
To people
00:20:52.343 --> 00:20:53.210
Who wish to destroy our civilization,
00:20:53.210 --> 00:20:54.311
Know your values suck and they don't belong here.
00:20:54.311 --> 00:20:57.147
Where does all this resentment come from?
00:20:57.147 --> 00:21:00.050
It comes from a wide variety of places,
00:21:00.851 --> 00:21:02.386
But it tends to come in general from a feeling of frustration
00:21:02.386 --> 00:21:06.156
And innovation.
00:21:06.156 --> 00:21:07.291
And so i think that that you can get that from people
00:21:07.291 --> 00:21:09.526
Who believe they have been marginalized.
00:21:09.526 --> 00:21:11.195
You can get that from people who believe they deserve more.
00:21:11.195 --> 00:21:13.731
You see it a lot, actually, with university students
00:21:13.731 --> 00:21:15.999
Who seem to believe that they deserve
00:21:15.999 --> 00:21:17.234
A $250,000 salary for a gender studies degree
00:21:17.234 --> 00:21:20.104
Because they've been taught that they ought
00:21:20.104 --> 00:21:21.305
To be getting more and then they don't get it,
00:21:21.305 --> 00:21:22.906
And then they're angry at their parents for
00:21:22.906 --> 00:21:24.408
For not having put them in a position to do that.
00:21:24.408 --> 00:21:26.910
And so they rebel against everything
00:21:26.910 --> 00:21:28.445
That they've been taught and or,
00:21:28.445 --> 00:21:29.913
And everything they haven't been taught.
00:21:29.913 --> 00:21:31.081
I also think it comes from a broad population.
00:21:31.081 --> 00:21:32.916
Very often you have people who grew up
00:21:32.916 --> 00:21:35.152
Without any sense of external threat,
00:21:35.152 --> 00:21:36.854
And they think that pretty much everything that's good in
00:21:36.854 --> 00:21:39.223
Life is the baseline, that that's just normal
00:21:39.223 --> 00:21:42.092
And that you can tear away everything without the baseline
00:21:42.092 --> 00:21:44.928
Falling away. that, of course, is just false.
00:21:44.928 --> 00:21:46.430
Some of that comes from ignorance.
00:21:46.430 --> 00:21:47.498
Some of it comes from envy.
00:21:47.498 --> 00:21:48.899
The reality is that gratitude as a as a characteristic
00:21:48.899 --> 00:21:51.602
Of human beings has to be cultivated.
00:21:51.602 --> 00:21:53.270
It's something you have to teach your kids gratitude.
00:21:53.270 --> 00:21:55.172
Envy is totally natural, right?
00:21:55.172 --> 00:21:56.807
Envy. envy is easy to do.
00:21:56.807 --> 00:21:58.308
You see?
00:21:58.308 --> 00:21:58.976
You see it with small children
00:21:58.976 --> 00:21:59.943
Right before, and it's very easy to see kids
00:21:59.943 --> 00:22:02.012
Envy each other and get on each other's kids.
00:22:02.012 --> 00:22:03.580
Being grateful for what they have is a very difficult thing.
00:22:03.580 --> 00:22:06.150
You have to teach your kids to say thank you.
00:22:06.150 --> 00:22:07.651
You don't have to teach your kids to say no.
00:22:07.651 --> 00:22:09.653
The book is lions and scavengers.
00:22:10.387 --> 00:22:12.589
Boy, that, that that feels like the whole story
00:22:12.589 --> 00:22:15.592
Of zoran mamdani, the resentful, envy driven,
00:22:15.592 --> 00:22:19.163
Bitter islamist who wants to be mayor of new york city.
00:22:19.163 --> 00:22:22.266
Ben, thank you for your time.
00:22:22.266 --> 00:22:23.901
And thanks for, going through all the questions
00:22:23.901 --> 00:22:26.603
On the very important topic today.
00:22:26.603 --> 00:22:27.871
Lions and scavengers is the book.
00:22:27.871 --> 00:22:29.339
Thanks so much, ben.
00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:30.707
Thanks, charlie.
00:22:30.707 --> 00:22:33.444
Friends just across israel's border inside syria.
00:22:33.444 --> 00:22:36.580
Entire christian and druze families have been slaughtered
00:22:36.580 --> 00:22:40.150
By islamic terrorists. it's shocking.
00:22:40.150 --> 00:22:42.319
It's heartbreaking.
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:43.353
And the international fellowship of christians
00:22:43.353 --> 00:22:45.022
And jews
00:22:45.022 --> 00:22:45.722
Is there on the ground,
00:22:45.722 --> 00:22:46.890
Working hand in hand with israel and the idf to respond.
00:22:46.890 --> 00:22:50.060
The fellowship has rushed in over 1500 emergency food boxes.
00:22:50.060 --> 00:22:54.097
They've opened
00:22:54.097 --> 00:22:55.265
A brand new medical clinic in a village that had none.
00:22:55.265 --> 00:22:57.401
Truckloads of medical equipment
00:22:57.401 --> 00:22:58.869
And supplies went straight to hospitals
00:22:58.869 --> 00:23:00.604
Because the need is so desperate.
00:23:00.604 --> 00:23:02.072
This is our faith in action.
00:23:02.072 --> 00:23:03.407
Israel is stopping the terrorists.
00:23:03.407 --> 00:23:05.108
Now it's on us christians and jews to care
00:23:05.108 --> 00:23:06.977
For the survivors,
00:23:06.977 --> 00:23:07.911
To pray for the persecuted,
00:23:07.911 --> 00:23:09.313
And to stand with them against evil.
00:23:09.313 --> 00:23:11.081
I'm asking you to join me in
00:23:11.081 --> 00:23:12.282
Standing with the international
