00:01:07.000And later in the episode, you're going to hear a critique of mine of a Republican governor who said, it does not matter, just go find a new job.
00:01:15.000Doesn't matter if you don't want to get vaccinated.
00:01:47.000If you want to get involved with Turning Point USA, where we play offense with a sense of urgency to win the American Culture War, you could do so at tpusa.com.
00:02:29.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:02:38.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:49.000Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?
00:03:21.000Left-wing corporations are subverting our nation and our republic by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control, and critical race theory.
00:03:35.000You have another vote, a second vote at the checkout line, which is why there's a massively important organization called Second Vote that comes in.
00:05:38.000And I told them something that they did not want to hear, which is that we are now probably entering another cycle and another phase of an endless war.
00:05:50.000My generation knows all about endless war.
00:05:52.000One of my earliest childhood memories was 9-11, September 11th, 2001.
00:05:58.000I remember where I was in the classroom that I was in right when that news hit.
00:06:06.000From that point forward, we were at perpetual foreign conflict with either the Taliban or Al-Qaeda or ISIS.
00:06:15.000And after 20-plus years of being in Afghanistan, the Taliban is actually stronger than it was even when we invaded.
00:06:25.000You see, Washington, D.C., they're good at endless conflict.
00:06:30.000Endless war has been almost a defining characteristic of the United States military strategy the last 20 years.
00:06:37.000I am reminded, cut two, of George W. Bush addressing a joint session of Congress about the war on terror.
00:06:45.000What if you were to tell George W. Bush and whispered in his ear on September 20, 2001, that many of your military interventions actually wouldn't work?
00:06:53.000Unfortunately, it would strengthen the enemy.
00:07:22.000We're going to get to the whole idea of defining success and then being able to measure success and knowing when to end a certain cycle of conflict.
00:07:34.000The most an even bigger failure of endless war was a domestic war waged by Lyndon Baines Johnson and the Democrat Party on American poverty.
00:07:44.000Instead of focusing on fatherlessness or crime, instead of focusing on issues that tend to cause crime and poverty, Lyndon Baines Johnson decided to subsidize poverty, decided to subsidize behavior that would only make the war on poverty endless, therefore giving the Democrat Party and his successors something to constantly run on.
00:08:09.000Cut one, Lyndon Baines Johnson declaring war on poverty.
00:08:16.000And this administration today, here, and now declares unconditional war on poverty in America.
00:08:26.000And I urge this Congress and all Americans to join with me in that effort.
00:08:35.000Now, of course, the war on poverty resulted in worse, and some would even say, and I would argue, just structural issues than before the war on poverty started.
00:08:48.000President Nixon declared war on drug abuse, saying that it was public enemy number one, the war on drugs over many decades.
00:08:56.000And now we have more overdose deaths in America than we do even from the Chinese coronavirus.
00:09:20.000America's public enemy, number one, in the United States, is drug abuse.
00:09:27.000In order to fight and defeat this enemy, it is necessary to wage a new all-out offensive.
00:09:35.000I have asked the Congress to provide the legislative authority and the funds to fuel this kind of an offensive.
00:09:43.000You see, when Washington politicians talk in terms of war, especially ones against unspecified, undefined objectives, you should be very nervous.
00:09:57.000You see, the United States government has not won a massive effort to win a battle since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
00:10:05.000And we only won the battle against the Soviets because Ronald Reagan decided to make it a philosophical and ideological battle, and he was willing to do what was necessary.
00:10:16.000Now, when it comes to the war against the Chinese coronavirus, some of the media would say it's because we lack resolve.
00:10:23.000It's because we're not willing to mask up and stay at home.
00:10:25.000We're not willing to do what is necessary.
00:10:28.000Now, I think that actually might be partially true.
00:10:32.000I actually think it's partially true that Americans aren't willing to forsake their entire life for an entire decade just to get rid of a virus that has a 0.04% death rate.
00:10:43.000But I think there's actually four other more critical reasons as to why, if we are not careful, we are entering another cycle of endless war, like the endless war against poverty, the endless war against drugs, the endless war against terror, where we don't actually ever win, but instead, the entrenched bureaucratic class gets more funding, more prestige, more promotions, more relevancy,
00:11:08.000while using fear as a propaganda tool to keep you in a state of obedience.
00:11:15.000Now, before I get into those four things, I want to tell you what some people are already floating out.
00:11:22.000Iceland has said that we have to be ready for 15 years of lockdowns.
00:11:30.000I'm reading, and it says, Iceland may see recently reimposed safety protocols in place for 15 years, according to one of the Nordic countries' chief medical experts.
00:11:43.000It can happen no matter what the future holds, he says.
00:11:47.000This is what we've been saying all along, that there's no predictability in this.
00:11:52.000On June 26th, the Icelandic authorities chose to remove all domestic restrictions, but now they have reimposed them, saying that they could last well over a decade and a half.
00:12:05.000What if I told you that the entrenched medical class is no different than the people at the Pentagon, no different than the people that oversaw the social welfare blitzkrieg on behalf of Lyndon Baines Johnson actually made America more structurally poor?
00:12:21.000What are we supposed to do when we are faced with these threats of endless conflict?
00:12:27.000Well, there are four major reasons as to why this is happening.
00:12:31.000And we're going to go through all four of them.
00:12:33.000This is a very serious issue as it impacts school closures, mandatory masking, and all of the other issues surrounding us because we're not actually getting to a place where we're going to be able to declare victory against the Chinese coronavirus instead of the exact opposite.
00:12:49.000It is going to be a confusing, muddled, sometimes, almost always, I should say, not just sometimes frustrating endeavor that we are on.
00:13:02.000And the question that we should ask is, is it worth it?
00:13:07.000How serious is the threat of the Delta variant and the Chinese coronavirus?
00:13:12.000So to answer the question that a lot of you are asking, when is this going to end?
00:13:17.000Well, if the people in charge have their way, it's going to be another endless war where they get promotions, military-type-style contracts, endless funding from the treasury, and the enemy actually never gets defeated, but your liberty and your freedom gets eroded.
00:13:34.000If endless wars don't end in victory, why do we keep on doing them?
00:13:42.000Let me start with a story about a true story from Chicago, Illinois.
00:13:47.000There was a street in southwest Chicago, the Cicero area, where every couple weeks there would be a business or a home that would all of a sudden wake up and they would have a brick thrown through their window.
00:14:03.000And there would be no real explanation for this.
00:14:18.000And then all of a sudden, this started to spread to other neighborhoods and people got curious.
00:14:22.000So they launched an investigative task force of who is randomly throwing bricks through windows.
00:14:30.000And after a man decided to wait up all night and he got lucky, he caught the man in the act of throwing the brick through the window, and it was the window repairman.
00:14:43.000You see, it's good business to try and create a problem only you can solve.
00:14:51.000Because there's an incentive structure for that.
00:14:54.000Whether it be endless foreign war, defense contractors unfortunately benefit disproportionately.
00:15:01.000If it's endless war against the war on poverty, big business like Walmart who take food stamps are able to benefit disproportionately.
00:15:11.000If it's an endless war against drugs, you might say, well, who would possibly win at the endless war against drugs?
00:15:20.000Well, again, trust me, I'm all against a domestic war on illegal drugs.
00:15:25.000But when you turn a blind eye on the pharmaceutical companies, but a heavy hand on the drugs being dealt on the street corners in the inner cities, then maybe the biggest pharmaceutical companies benefit.
00:15:36.000You see, endless wars are great for big business.
00:15:40.000They can build it into their profit model.
00:15:43.000They can build it into their growth curve.
00:15:45.000Every year, we're going to need more drugs, more missiles.
00:15:51.000We're going to need more Section 8 housing.
00:15:53.000We're going to need more ability to provide for people with food stamps.
00:15:58.000There's an incentive structure behind endless war.
00:16:02.000The same way that the window repairman goes around throwing bricks through people's windows, Fauci and the pharmaceutical companies are begging for an endless war against the Chinese coronavirus.
00:16:14.000The same can be said for Amazon and the tech companies.
00:16:18.000They get stronger and more powerful the more we are locked down.
00:16:24.000When people still desire human connection, do you think Facebook's new company, Oculus, where you put on your goggles and you can create the world as you see fit, do you think that gets more desirable or less desirable when there's less live events, less people coming in contact with each other?
00:16:41.000Unfortunately, the multi-trillion heirs or the multi-trillion dollar companies, I should say, they are pushing for the 15-year lockdowns like Iceland because it only makes them permanently more powerful.
00:16:57.000We know that Amazon is more valuable than ever before.
00:17:00.000We know the big banks are richer and wealthier than ever before.
00:17:04.000And we know that the billionaires in America made over $500 billion in the lockdown cycle this last year.
00:17:11.000Unfortunately, the first reason why we are entering into another cycle of endless war, why we are engaging and tolerating, and dare I even say, entertaining the Delta variant to the levels that are almost incomprehensible to a lot of people because the data does not support it, is because the people in charge are going to get very wealthy, powerful, and prestigious in their own minds if we lock down again.
00:18:06.000You see, blue states that were structurally bankrupt got massive bailouts from the federal government thanks to the lockdowns of the Chinese coronavirus.
00:18:16.000Illinois got bailed out at the cost of states that were fiscally sound like Texas, Tennessee, and Florida.
00:18:25.000You see, politicians would love to go through another round of lockdowns because they don't have to cut spending in their states.
00:18:31.000They don't have to challenge the public sector teacher unions.
00:18:34.000Instead, they'll get another $100 billion from the federal government that will easily bail them out.
00:18:40.000You see, the incentive structure almost lends itself to people that deal in the deeds of corruption and not innovation to want to keep you locked down.
00:18:53.000The U.S. national debt is expected to approach $89 trillion by 2029.
00:18:58.000Real inflation rate is estimated to be upwards of 10%.
00:19:52.000The second thing we need to ask ourselves in a list of four things about why endless war that are much more critical things to talk about rather than our resolve is: is this the right thing to do?
00:20:04.000How big of a threat is the Chinese coronavirus?
00:20:09.000Well, every single day in the United States, according to data that is publicly available, as of 2019, 1,800 people die of heart disease.
00:20:18.000Why don't we lock down Burger King, McDonald's, and Wendy's and not lock down businesses of people that are trying their best to get by?
00:20:29.000In fact, why would we lock down gymnasiums when people are actually literally trying to get healthy?
00:20:38.0001,800 people die every single day of heart disease, 1,640 of cancer, 470 by accident, 430 of chronic lower respiratory disease, 410 of stroke, 330 of Alzheimer's.
00:21:55.000Do you know that COVID was not the leading cause of death for any single age group, including last year, including 85 years and older, including 75 to 84?
00:22:07.000It was not the leading cause of death for any category or any group.
00:23:25.000The priorities we should first and foremost have is protecting children.
00:23:29.000Children's well-being, their development, their future.
00:23:34.000Children should come first in these equations.
00:23:38.000So, when you try to actually think of a hierarchy of who you're trying to benefit the most, intergenerationally robbing from a nine-year-old, making them wear a mask all day long, making them be subject to an experimental vaccine, that would make sense logically, rationally, or morally.
00:25:28.000It's not as if you can crush the virus, whatever even that means, and have no cost on the other side.
00:25:36.000In fact, when you do these massive programs, like the war on drugs, or the war on poverty, or the war on illiteracy, like no child left behind, or the foreign war in Afghanistan or in Iraq, they tend to demand larger and larger interventions.
00:25:56.000They actually tend to warrant more massive programs, like, oh, well, that didn't work, so now we need another couple trillion dollars that were actually created by the intervention itself.
00:26:07.000Now, there are certain types of interventions that are necessary.
00:26:13.000That's a unique time when people bought into a purpose bigger than themselves to defeat evil in two different hemispheres.
00:26:21.000These massive interventions can, at times, using prudence, practical judgment, and some would say even common sense, can be the right thing for a society to do.
00:26:31.000But only, and here's the rule, and here's why World War II is such a good example, if success can be clearly defined.
00:26:38.000If success can be written down on a piece of paper, what does success look like?
00:26:42.000Defeat the Nazis, fly our flag over Berlin, and make the Japanese surrender.
00:26:56.000The problem with the foreign war on terror, the problem with the war on poverty, the problem with the war on drugs, the war on illiteracy, and now this war on COVID with Fauci's own words and the leaked CDC documents call it a war on COVID.
00:28:00.000Massive interventions can only work when success can be clearly defined.
00:28:08.000And here's a very simple question that our leaders need to be asking, especially in the Republican Party, because the Democrat Party doesn't care, because they're seizing on these lockdowns for blue state bailouts, the great reset, currency deterioration, open borders, and remaking America.
00:28:23.000For them, the endless war on COVID is a gateway drug for redefining America in Marxist terms.
00:28:32.000For the American left, the Chinese coronavirus and the subsequent lockdowns are a gateway drug to get long desired public policy objectives into law that only a crisis can facilitate.
00:28:48.000What if we beat the Chinese coronavirus, eradicate it, get rid of it, it never exists, and we lose the country?
00:33:12.000They say, Charlie, safety is the most important thing for me, and I'm going to keep my kids and grandkids locked down until the public health officials tell me I can leave.
00:33:21.000I think that's insane, and I think that's a bunch of balderdash, and I refuse to do that.
00:33:27.000Here's the biggest thing you must do: is that at this possible moment, you must find instances where you say, I'm not going to comply.
00:33:37.000And then you must find the pressure points of people that decide to stand courageously against this decade of lockdowns that is now coming in and support those people.
00:33:46.000Pastors that refuse to lock down again.
00:33:49.000Businesses that refuse to lock down again.
00:33:51.000Politicians that refuse to mandate lockdown orders.
00:33:54.000You've got to support those people publicly and vocally.
00:33:59.000And you must give politicians a sense of anxiety that if they support lockdowns, there's going to be a political cost.
00:34:06.000I'll give you a great example of this.
00:34:08.000Mark Kelly is running for the United States Senate seat as a Democrat in coming in 2022 in Arizona.
00:34:15.000Raphael Warnock is running in 2022 in Georgia.
00:34:19.000They have to hear from the voters in Georgia and Arizona that lockdowns and forced masks, if they don't speak out against it loudly and vocally, they're going to lose their Senate seat.
00:34:30.000Make the people in charge feel that there's a political cost to this.
00:34:34.000Make J.B. Pritzker in Illinois, who is definitely the least mobile governor in America, definitely the least agile governor in America.
00:34:46.000Make him know that there's going to be a cost and he might lose the governor's race because of this.
00:34:51.000Make people feel that there's a political cost to these lockdowns.
00:34:54.000And I could tell you right now, this is a silent majority issue.
00:34:57.00085% of the country does not actually want to go this direction.
00:35:01.000But unfortunately, we're being led by this minority that is very persuasive at getting on television and making you feel afraid.
00:35:14.000You need to speak out, and then you need to have that testing moment where all of a sudden, if LA, they make you wear a mask in a grocery store, you don't do it.
00:35:34.000The police aren't going to arrest you anytime soon.
00:35:36.000What I'm calling for is civil disobedience, non-compliance, making noise and pushing back against this tyrannical push to make us in another cycle of endless war where we spend trillions of dollars.
00:35:48.000Our country becomes less free and unrecognizable.
00:35:57.000There's no doubt in my mind that Americans trust in the media is at an all-time low.
00:36:01.000I mean, when you turn on so-called respected news channels, all you get is propaganda, shameless virtue signaling, and blatant disregard for the truth.
00:36:09.000It's an insult to the intelligence of the American people, which is why my good friends at the Daily Wire, great people, are providing an alternative.

00:37:16.000The United Kingdom has just announced that they are going to be rolling out 32 million booster vaccines by next month to all those over the age of 50.
00:37:26.000What great business model, isn't this?
00:37:28.000You need a booster on top of the booster because the first vaccine wasn't as effective as we thought it was.
00:37:32.000Remember, when you're in an endless war cycle, which is what we're about to get into, then the intervention ends up being not sufficient.
00:37:40.000So you need a bigger intervention to try to solve the first intervention.
00:37:44.000And don't you dare change the leadership class because they're the only ones that could possibly know how to fix the intervention because they're the ones that solved, that tried to solve it with the first intervention, even though it wasn't big enough.
00:37:55.000Because the intervention wasn't as big as it should have been.
00:38:01.000People like Boris Johnson and people like Fauci, they found their new campaign of relevancy.
00:38:09.000This particular one, the Chinese coronavirus, is powerfully unique because it really does unite a sinister triumphant, you could say, of forces that are typically at odds.
00:38:25.000Number one, the media loves this because they get ratings.
00:38:34.000Number two, massive companies, as we've mentioned, literally have their competitors shut down.
00:38:40.000It's great for Amazon not to have the little small business in Watertown, Wisconsin be able to stay open when they could just deliver packages and over-inundate the market, dump the market with their own products, and create a monopoly.
00:38:56.000And of course, then politicians and government leaders remain in power thanks to misleading fear-mongering.
00:39:04.000You see, ending things require a goal and a willingness to revert back to a sense of normal.
00:39:10.000But we're actually getting further and further away from that sense of normal.
00:39:14.000We're getting further away from trying to get back to how things were.
00:39:17.000And it's almost like the people in charge are trying to force a confrontation.
00:39:21.000It's almost like they want a conflict.
00:39:25.000If the motivation of our leadership class was to try to almost artificially try to turn people against each other, this is what they would be saying and doing.
00:39:38.000In cut seven, Cuomo says, it's just unbelievable.
00:39:43.000The Delta variant mutates to a vaccine-resistant virus.
00:39:47.000And now we're back to where we started.
00:39:49.000So now we need a new vaccine for this mutation.
00:39:53.000What a great business model for the pharmaceutical companies.
00:40:50.000You can't go into this hotel unless you prove that you took the experimental vaccine that I just told you might not even work in the clip before.
00:42:59.000If you just remember one thing out of all the commentary that I say, this month, Bill de Blasio ran as a workers' party communist style candidate.
00:43:12.000He won is giving power back to the people.
00:43:15.000This clip right here is so important because it shows that it's never about the decentralization of power.
00:43:23.000It's never about the democratization of the government.
00:43:27.000What it really is about is eventually an authoritarian style government.
00:44:32.000Breaking, hundreds of staffers at a pair of San Francisco hospitals have tested positive for COVID-19, the majority of whom were fully vaccinated, but became infected with the Delta variant.
00:44:45.000The United Kingdom government has just released a 26th report on the adverse event reactions to the COVID-19 vaccines.
00:44:53.000The UK government have released their 26th report highlighting adverse reaction to the COVID-19 injections that have occurred since the rollout on the 8th of December, 2020.
00:45:04.000So here's a really interesting question.
00:45:08.000100 million people doing something or not doing something is a big number.

00:47:23.000You know, if the government of the United States, which is run by Biden and his cartel, if they actually cared about the Chinese coronavirus, why are they allowing thousands of people to enter our country unvaccinated, because they say that's the solution, untested into the interior of the United States?
00:47:52.000I have not seen a push for something so unpopular, so sinister, as quickly as we are seeing right now with total disregard for any sort of political price associated.
00:48:08.000So we are now entering into medical apartheid.
00:48:16.000The Democrats invented it and perfected it.
00:48:18.000The Democrats were the party of slavery.
00:48:20.000They were the party of discrimination, the party of intimidation, then the party of control of black voters through government programs, through their endless war on poverty, which we've covered in great detail.
00:48:32.000The promise of the American system, as detailed in the greatest political document ever written in the United States Constitution, is to trust and allow people to make choices without the government forcing them.
00:49:14.000I wouldn't overly police it, but I think that seatbelts generally and the push towards seatbelts, as annoying as they are for me, I can't stand it.
00:49:22.000I think generally that kind of social conditioning hasn't been that harmful to humanity.
00:49:28.000In fact, I was riding with somebody recently, and I'm glad that I had the habit of putting on the seatbelt.
00:49:38.000But that's not exactly the same sort of issue.
00:49:40.000We're talking about an experimental vaccine where you have adverse events being reported.
00:49:46.000You have all these other issues, two totally different things.
00:49:51.000So the reason why mandates are so dangerous, there's a couple of reasons.
00:49:58.000And why segregation is obviously immoral and we're entering, I mean, Shake Shack has just said that they're not going to allow unvaccinated people to shop, to eat there, whatever.
00:50:07.000And I guarantee you, other places are going to follow.
00:50:11.000Is that there's this principle that when you mandate something and when you do something from the top down or from a government order, that the error of being wrong or the potential downside of being wrong far outweighs the upside of being right.
00:50:31.000So when you mandate something to everybody, the first question you need to ask those politicians is, what if you're wrong?
00:50:40.000What all of a sudden if this has a downside that you aren't experiencing?
00:50:43.000What if this doesn't actually prevent against the virus like you said it have?
00:50:49.000The cost of a downside of a widespread order is greater than the upside.
00:50:56.000So if this vaccine is actually not as effective as people say, if all of a sudden there are all these adverse events and more so coming for years, then all of a sudden mandating it and not making it optional, all of a sudden force people to then live in a set of circumstances that was not of their own choosing.
00:51:17.000And the third, and this is so obvious, of why mandates are immoral and not always immoral, but why mandates can be immoral and they're troublesome.
00:52:53.000You're going to have to make an argument over a long period of time in both the courts, the legislative, and the executive sector, and on the state-based model before such vaccine mandate comes to pass.
00:53:04.000When I am a stickler for language, it's for a reason.
00:53:08.000I'm a stickler of republic versus democracy because a republic, you look at this poll and you say, oh, really?
00:53:14.00062% of Americans support vaccine mandate.
00:53:31.000I'm laughing because I see all sorts of extraordinary acts of stupidity.
00:53:37.000But generally, the ability to speak and reason is evidence that we are rational creatures.
00:53:46.000We're able to make decisions in the world that allow us to travel, that allow us to create structures, build buildings, heat and cool those buildings, be able to mass produce food.
00:54:02.000And so, if we are generally a rational animal, and I'm chuckling because it doesn't always seem that way, but it's true, then why isn't Fauci and the others trying to persuade us?
00:54:14.000Why are they treating us like golden retrievers?
00:54:18.000Make them take the vaccine, no conversation necessary.
00:54:21.000If 100 million people say, Hold on a second, you're telling us it does this and we don't want to do it.
00:54:26.000Why do you think 100 million people are skeptical?
00:54:29.000That's more than Trump voters, by the way.
00:54:32.000The least vaccinated group in America is black Americans.
00:54:37.000Is Fauci picking on the black population?
00:54:45.000But we're not leftists, so we don't say that stuff here.
00:54:49.000Look, I do believe that incentives can be helpful at times.
00:54:54.000This is a conservative argument, not a libertarian argument.
00:54:57.000For example, incentives around family creation.
00:55:00.000I'm a big fan of trying to have public policy, trying to have more American-made children or boring children, I should say, not American-made, more American-born children.
00:55:33.000Now, a libertarian argument would say, okay, I'm against the vaccine because it's experimental, and I'm against having sort of incentives to have a lot of children because who am I to say which one is better?
00:55:44.000I think this argument falls apart very quickly.
00:55:47.000Value judgments are made all the time by governments.
00:55:52.000However, when there's confusion, and there is no confusion about having children, by the way, that is a non-negotiable.
00:55:57.000That's not to say that people don't have children can't be happy, but the general trend is that having children and getting married is a way that you can live a flourishing and fulfilling life.
00:56:07.000And your society, by definition, is then able to replicate itself and continue, especially if that society is a beautiful country like the United States of America.
00:56:16.000But when you have uncertainty, this is where the founding fathers were so clairvoyant.
00:56:42.000When you don't know the answer to the question, or maybe you think you know, but there's a lot of different opinions, you got to go towards rights.
00:56:54.000You have a right of refusal and you have a right of acceptance.
00:56:58.000That is what the natural rights doctrine is all about.
00:57:00.000That is the promise of the American project and Constitution.
00:57:44.000I have a soft spot for certain libertarians on certain issues, not on this sort of thing, because the founders then said, look, we are going to design a system that should allow you to be able to say no.
00:58:46.000Governor Christy Noam came out and she said that workers whose employers are mandating a vaccine for continued employment have the power to say no.
00:58:58.000Our robust economy and job market gives them the option to find a new employer that values personal choice and responsibility and doesn't force mandates on their employees.
00:59:13.000That is a corporatist libertarian argument.
00:59:20.000Harmeet Dylan in response said, quote, I want to make sure I get it, the state can also have the power to make vaccination status a protected employment category.
00:59:33.000So as conservatives, not as libertarians, again, I agree with libertarians on plenty of things, but this is a conservative program.
00:59:41.000We believe that things that have lasted for a little while should not be uprooted for bad reasons.
00:59:46.000It's a general conservative principle.
00:59:49.000For example, if you live in South Dakota and you have worked at the same place in Mitchell, South Dakota or in Aberdeen, South Dakota for 20 years, and you've been a faithful and loyal employee and you enjoy your job and you enjoy the people around you, you should not all of a sudden be forced to take medicine or go find a new job.
01:00:10.000That is an overly simplified, not protective of individual rights argument, especially in confusing times.
01:00:27.000Again, that sounds so easy, but I'm not going to yield that point.
01:00:33.000After the 500th email I've received here on the Charlie Kirk show, of people that have said, Charlie, are you trying to tell me I now have to take the vaccine or lose my career?
01:00:47.000In Hawaii, Charlie, how do I keep my job?
01:00:50.000My employer, a private university in Hawaii, directed all employees to provide a vaccine card or submit to testing or demand to wear a mask and face shield at all times.
01:00:57.000I want to work, but I find these demands unreasonable.
01:01:02.000Conservatives should be unafraid to intervene and help our voters and our citizens to be able to make medical decisions if their employer decides to infringe on them.
01:01:15.000We as conservatives should say vaccine mandates from the government are wrong and vaccine mandates from the corporations are wrong.
01:01:22.000Discrimination is generally a really bad thing.
01:01:26.000I might say, well, Charlie, what do you mean generally?
01:01:28.000Well, I do believe that religious schools should be able to have religious tests.
01:01:32.000Obviously, that's a form of discrimination.
01:01:34.000We don't like using the D-word for that, but it is discrimination.
01:01:37.000When it comes to medical decisions, though, we shouldn't all of a sudden be screening people for lupus, rheumatoid arthritis.
01:01:45.000Like, oh, sorry, you can't work here because your medical history is questionable.
01:01:50.000And so the argument that Christy Noam is making, and I don't know if she actually tweeted this, is a chamber of commerce style argument.
01:02:02.000Come on, just pack up the car and go find someone that reflects your values.
01:02:06.000Libertarians make this argument because they don't believe there's anything special or anything unique about having a bond to your land, your area, the customs, your family, or tradition.
01:02:19.000We as conservatives believe that if it's not necessary to change something, it's necessary not to change it, as Lord Falkland would say.
01:02:27.000That uprooting chaotic, disruptive type change can have its place in a market, but if it's overdone and we overindulge in that type of process, then all of a sudden you can have societal chaos and you lose the ties that bind you together.
01:02:43.000Will Chamberlain tweeted, I'm reading from DailyWire.com, you're the governor of your state.
01:02:48.000If you don't intend to protect your citizens, resign and let someone else do the job.
01:02:56.000But I'm failing to understand this argument where all of a sudden you are going to tell someone that loves their job and supports their family that, oh, yeah, just go find another job.
01:03:09.000That's you imposing your own simplistic view of the world on people that might have roots to an area, a community, a skill, or a trade.
01:03:21.000Conservatives should stand for things that last and matter.
01:03:28.000And if people don't want to have to quit their job because they're working, which is an objective moral good, by the way, working is an objective moral good.
01:03:39.000We should defend them against the creeping autocrats that want to force them into compliance.
01:03:46.000The Bible tells us that wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord.
01:03:51.000And this guy that is very big, I mean, he is buff.
01:03:54.000I'll tell you what, this guy is massive.
01:03:56.000You've probably seen this video a couple hundred times.
01:03:58.000I think I was texted this video 200 times in the last five days.
01:04:01.000Just random Charlie, you see this, Charlie?
01:05:02.000Once you take your vaccine, like a dumb person that doesn't know any better, they're going to tell you, sorry, the vaccine isn't as effective as we thought it was going to be.
01:05:10.000So now you still got to wear your mask, still got to get contact trace, still have all the restrictions and social distancing, and still take your vaccine.
01:05:18.000It's a perpetual cycle that you never get out of.
01:05:22.000And it's a way to take your rights, your freedoms, close your business, take your wealth.
01:05:30.000If you're independent, the government works for you like it's supposed to.
01:05:33.000If you depend on the government to give you a paycheck to feed your family every month, because they closed your business on you, now the government doesn't work for you.
01:06:54.000Maybe consider doing what George Washington did.
01:06:58.000You know, I'm looking at the Constitution here.
01:07:00.000Nowhere does it say in the preamble anywhere, thou shall only have freedoms and rights if you get the Pfizer vaccine.
01:07:09.000We the people, in order to make AstraZeneca rich, to try and boost corporate profits for Moderna, do say that we try to perform a more perfect union for only the vaccinated.
01:07:21.000You see, the founding fathers with the longest-lasting political framework in history, the United States Constitution, they gave us the tools to fight this.
01:07:33.000We must lean on the courageous governors and leaders that say no more, do not comply, that stand up for their employees against the HIPAA violations that are happening, that say that employers cannot mandate vaccines, schools cannot mandate vaccines, and governments cannot mandate vaccines.
01:07:49.000Until we have Republicans that stand up for that, Republicans are going to be nothing more than the spokespeople for the Chamber of Commerce.
