00:00:27.000We look at an example in Arizona that shows a trend nationally of local school districts and cities that are just defying state law, doing whatever they want.
00:00:35.000We also talk about the efficacy of masks.
00:00:38.000And is it true that children are dying at a major rate of COVID?
00:02:15.000His 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.
00:02:24.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:04:38.000They have a whole course on theology 101.
00:04:41.000How about on the Greek wars, Athens and Sparta, Winston Churchill and statesmanship?
00:04:46.000These are free of charge, amazingly rigorous courses that will get you to appreciate the country, what it means to be a human being, where our rights come from at charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:05:01.000Hillsdale, we are so honored to partner with them on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:05:05.000Our children deserve to be taught the truth through a sound curriculum created by teachers, not bureaucrats, and uphold the dignity of each individual.
00:05:14.000So download the 1776 curriculum right now at charlieforhillsdale.com, and you yourself should at least carve out 20 minutes a day to try and learn something new.
00:05:51.000We're in the midst of a power struggle in our country right now.
00:05:55.000Conservatives, because we believe in the nation and we believe in decency, when there's a court ruling or a law that we don't like, we still follow that law.
00:06:04.000We do our best to try to change the law, but we don't defy laws.
00:06:12.000The best example of this is how conservatives pushed for resolutions to allow marriage to be one man, one woman in states across the country.
00:06:23.000And then the Supreme Court swoops in and reverses all of those traditional marriage amendments.
00:06:30.000We could have very well resisted that.
00:06:33.000We could have said, oh, we're still going to enforce the laws as we see fit.
00:06:38.000When there's a ruling that comes down, we honor that ruling.
00:06:40.000Now, we went into great detail about how Joe Biden has basically nullified the United States Constitution, about how he does not care about what the Constitution says.
00:07:43.000They enact measures that hurt themselves and hurt their children.
00:07:47.000Beverly Hills is a great example of the mothers that drive around in their Range Rovers, just dropping their kid off so they can go to yoga class, but making sure they wear a mask all day long so they don't feel the guilt because they're such an awful parent of actually being absent from their child's life.
00:08:04.000A lot of this, by the way, a lot of the reason why parents are not standing up to change these mask laws and why they are putting experimental medicine into five-year-olds is because these parents are so absent from their children's lives.
00:08:17.000They don't want to feel the guilt that they actually might be responsible if they die from the Chinese coronavirus, which is very unlikely, but this is a way that it's a coping mechanism for their awful parenting.
00:08:29.000It's a coping mechanism for them having a balance between raising children and going to SoulCycle and really beating your record time or going to lemonade and getting your favorite quinoa salad.
00:08:44.000Scottsdale is one of those places that actually is on the center right.
00:08:52.000Our offices at Turning Point USA are 10 minutes from 15, 20 minutes from Scottsdale.
00:08:58.000So Scottsdale Unified School District is run by a bunch of Bolsheviks who just don't care about their voters.
00:09:05.000And if you guys want to mark a special date down on your calendar, August 24th, the Scottsdale Unified School District is meeting.
00:09:14.000They have basically defied everything that the parents in the local area have asked of them.
00:09:21.000The Scottsdale Unified School District is a microcosm, is an example of what's happening all across the country.
00:09:30.000So the Scottsdale Unified School District, which represents a very affluent area, first of all, a couple weeks ago, they sent out, by mistake, they said, the social-emotional learning packets for children to report on their parents to their teachers.
00:09:44.000Now, they apologized after, oh, we didn't mean to send them out.
00:09:47.000Well, then, who made them who wrote them?
00:10:24.000So all this controversy that's happening right now in Florida, which we're going to get to with the wonderful Ron DeSantis, Doug Ducey, and honestly, the credit really goes to the Arizona legislature, where they passed this bill and they said students will not be required to wear masks.
00:10:46.000And it really wasn't that non-it wasn't that controversial because remember a couple months ago, before we went into a mass inoculation cycle, virus rates were going down.
00:10:57.000But then Scottsdale said, yeah, we're not going to listen to that.
00:11:04.000Scottsdale, the local school district in Arizona, who's funded primarily, by the way, by the Arizona budget, the Arizona education budget, they said, you know what?
00:11:38.000That's the way it should work, by the way.
00:11:40.000Ever since we've empowered the administrative state who's now running our government in our country, the fourth branch of government, unelected, unknown, and unchecked bureaucrats with power that basically they can make law out of nowhere.
00:11:56.000So the question is, why is Scottsdale Unified School District, as an example, basically saying to the Arizona law, yeah, we're not following that?
00:12:15.000You see, an unfortunate reality that we all have to realize is that the Democrats, they will not back down until they start to lose something.
00:12:47.000Scottsdale Unified School District and the Democrat legislators in Texas, they have to recognize and realize, but they don't currently, that they have to fear the price and the penalty of defying the will of the voters and the legislature.
00:13:02.000This is what happens when you control the media, when you control every single mechanism of power in the country.
00:13:09.000You're like, yeah, what are you going to do to me?
00:13:11.000Well, this is the way it should work in Scottsdale.
00:13:14.000There's a meeting coming up on August 24th.
00:13:47.000And your guilty conscience is not going to narcissistically engineer the future of the children of that school district or across the country.
00:14:00.000Did 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?
00:14:09.000Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist BLM incorporated organization?
00:14:17.000Your first vote is at the ballot box, but that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo-Christian values.
00:14:25.000Left-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.
00:14:38.000You 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.
00:16:42.000It makes them less familiar with one another.
00:16:46.000You know, a quote we keep going back to is from the great Aristotle, who's the man from Aristotle's Politics, Book 5, Chapter 11.
00:16:53.000Tyrants preserve themselves by not letting there be any schools or other collegial gatherings for leisured pursuits.
00:17:00.000Tyrants do everything they can that will keep all the people unknown to one another as possible since familiarity breeds a greater degree of mutual trust.
00:17:45.000Well, no, actually, human beings operate in the same sort of pattern, same sort of narcissistic, broken nature.
00:17:55.000So it is a habit of the tyrants to try to make you distrust your neighbor.
00:17:59.000I could tell you personally, this is completely anecdotal, that the last couple months of being able to go to restaurants and see waiters and waitresses' face makes it much more pleasant.
00:18:11.000I feel as if I'm actually dealing with a human being, not some sort of clothed robot.
00:18:17.000I was going to say something else, but it would be taken out of context.
00:18:24.000Now, some people say masks are the most wonderful thing ever.
00:18:26.000There's really no studies to show that.
00:18:29.000That if you even have a 3% adjustment in your mask or you touch it with people, which obviously people do, it basically defeats the entire purpose of the mask.
00:18:36.000But let's just give them the argument.
00:18:38.000Let's say that masks are the most wonderful thing ever.
00:18:41.000Let's say that masks 100% stop transmission and no one's altering the mask and they're most amazing thing ever.
00:18:46.000I still oppose it because of what it does to the soul.
00:18:51.000It makes you feel as if you're small, obedient, not a free-thinking individual.
00:18:57.000Makes you more likely to be controlled.
00:19:01.000Not to mention the mental health issues that occur with students and young people.
00:19:12.000Where are the parents standing up for these kids?
00:19:16.000Do you know that in Arizona, I know I'm focusing on Arizona, but it just happens to be close to this program.
00:19:23.000One out of three of Arizona teens say they need emotional support to improve their mental health this year.
00:19:28.000Do you know that more young people have died from suicide than from the Chinese coronavirus?
00:19:32.000Do you think canceling prom, spring and fall sports, commencement, social activities, and then putting masks on them like they're like they're slaves?
00:19:53.000You think that's good for their development?
00:20:01.000There's more studies coming out showing that students are the least likely not just to die, but transmit the virus.
00:20:12.000They might very well be at cured immunity, and yet some schools, like the Brophy School in Arizona, are now mandating vaccines for all their students.
00:21:21.000What you have is people in their 60s, 70s, and 80s that are deciding now to remask children, lock down the schools again, and mandate experimental vaccinations against them.
00:21:30.000I thought the vaccine was the greatest thing ever.
00:21:35.000Legacy Box is an effortless way to have your outdated media digitally preserved on a modern format.
00:21:40.000And right now, they're offering 40% off so you can ensure your memories are safe for generations.
00:21:45.000When I got Legacy Box, it was amazing.
00:23:00.000Another example of just orders being defied, San Antonio, they just have defied the mask moratorium and they got a judge involved who agreed and they say, we're here to keep our kids alive is what they've said.
00:23:16.000Even though the amount of kids that have died from the Chinese coronavirus is so small you can't even measure it.
00:23:22.000You want to talk about what's dangerous?
00:23:24.000Why doesn't the San Antonio School District try to make sure that the kids aren't doing lethally addictive drugs?
00:23:31.000They want to talk about what's dangerous.
00:23:33.000Why don't they go and get the kids to make sure they're not drunk driving?
00:24:05.000It's not like you have voters that put you into office.
00:24:12.000And this is why we should refuse them when they use their political power, which is why we should go build the Keystone XL pipeline right now.
00:24:20.000Governor Bergham, Governor Noam, Governor Stitt, Governor of Kansas, I think it goes through Kansas, if I'm not mistaken.
00:24:27.000It goes through six Republican states.
00:24:29.000They should go build the Keystone XL pipeline and tell the federal government, sorry, we're just, we don't care.
00:25:22.000I mean, I know people must like to have their individual freedom and not be told to do something, but I think we're in such a serious situation now that under certain circumstances, mandates should be done.
00:26:13.000He says there's no correlation between masks and decreasing rates of disease.
00:26:16.000Now, before I play that, we're also going to pull up the Australian clip, which just goes to show there will be no end to this.
00:26:25.000Liberty, by definition, when you allow people to do things in the pursuit of virtue, you are going to have unforeseen and awful side effects.
00:26:42.000People will get in car accidents when you have 70 mile an hour speed limits.
00:26:46.000People will eat unhealthily when you don't make cholesterol, cholesterol illegal.
00:26:51.000And yet we now have a safetyism philosophy.
00:26:54.000And I'm going to be very honest with you guys.
00:27:11.000No correlation between masks and decreasing rates of disease.
00:27:14.000I think that if you look objectively at mask mandates, whether it's in states, cities, counties, or countries, there's no correlation between a mask mandate and reduction and incidence of the disease.
00:29:17.000But we now have a ruling class that seems convinced, or at least obsessed with convincing you that there will be no more death, no more suffering, no more pain.
00:29:34.000You just don't have to leave your home and put us in charge.
00:30:28.000We need to consider whenever we leave our house that anyone with us, anyone we come into contact with, could convey the virus.
00:30:40.000So whilst it is in human nature to engage in conversation with others, to be friendly, unfortunately, this is not the time to do that.
00:30:51.000So even if you run into your next door neighbor in the shopping center, in the Kohl's while you're at Colesboars or Aldi or any other grocery shop, don't start up a conversation.
00:31:04.000Now is the time for minimizing your interactions with others.
00:31:08.000Minimizing your interactions with others.
00:31:25.000Now, suicide is a higher rate of a higher threat to children under the age of 30, yet the parents, and this is, I'll just be very, again, to be very blunt.
00:31:37.000This is the most unwise generation of leaders we have ever seen in American history.
00:31:43.000Australia has now become one of the most authoritarian countries like that.
00:31:48.000We have to make you not talk to your neighbors, even though they had a mass vaccination strategy.
00:31:56.000And they're still pushing the vaccine on children in America.
00:31:59.000And Australia basically has become a total police state.
00:32:04.000So who's fighting up back against this?
00:32:07.000As you know on this show, we like to talk about the issue and then hopefully come up with a solution.
00:32:16.000Ron DeSantis and Rand Paul have been phenomenal on this.
00:32:22.000I'm going to go to Ron DeSantis here, who's under massive fire, by the way, because they say Ron DeSantis wants to kill children because he doesn't want there to be mask mandates, even though there is zero evidence to show that mask mandates do anything.
00:32:34.000And there's tons of evidence to show that mask mandates have a significant cost associated in mental health, spiritual health, well-being, inclination to try to live under an authoritarian state.
00:32:46.000Ron DeSantis clearly says we believe that the parent rather than the government should ultimately be able to make that decision.
00:32:54.000But obviously, we believe that the parent rather than the government should ultimately be able to make that decision.
00:33:00.000If you're talking about the federal government coming in and overruling parents in our communities, that would be something that we would fight back vociferously against.
00:33:08.000Wall Street Journal research team at Johns Hopkins University worked with a nonprofit FAIR Health to analyze approximately 48,000 children under 18 diagnosed with COVID in health insurance data from April to August 2020.
00:33:23.000Their report found a mortality rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition such as leukemia.
00:33:31.000So any of the deaths amongst children are people that are young children that unfortunately have leukemia or cancer.
00:33:37.000Now, if that trend holds, according to the Wall Street Journal, it has significant implications for healthy kids and whether they need two vaccine doses.
00:35:32.000A theme throughout this last hour has been, as you could tell, this frustration of mine that even though we win elections and we pass laws, they're being completely defied.
00:35:41.000And so the question is, who's actually going to be willing to use political power and your power? to start to change things.
00:35:50.000So people say, well, Charlie, what do I do?
00:35:52.000Speak truth publicly, clearly, on a regular basis.
00:35:56.000That's not an easy thing to tell people what to do.
00:37:43.000Play cut 44 of a fifth grade teacher, Laura, who just resigned from the Loudoun County School District in Virginia, right outside of D.C.
00:37:52.000She alleges that the school board forced her to sign a contract promising to snitch on other faculty who are caught voicing disagreements with their progressive policies.
00:38:03.000You no longer value me or many other teachers you've employed in this county.
00:38:07.000So since my contract outlines the power that you have over my employment in Louisiana Money Public Schools, I thought it necessary to resign in front of you.
