00:02:14.000 Wrongful termination suits, minimum wage requirements, labor regulations, and more.
00:02:18.000 And HR manager salaries are never cheap.

00:03:06.000 Shock poll shows Gavin Newsom losing recall vote by double digits.
00:03:14.000 California Democrat, according to a poll by the San Diego Union Tribune, not exactly a right-wing outlet, was conducted amongst 1,100 Californians from August 2nd to August 4th, and it found 51% of respondents were in favor of recalling Gavin Newsom, while only 40% wanted to keep him in power.
00:03:38.000 11 points.
00:03:43.000 The previous San Diego poll found 36 people in favor of the recall and 47% opposed.
00:03:50.000 Gavin Newsom's numbers have sunk by 20 points, everybody.
00:03:57.000 We're getting a lot of questions about it, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:04:00.000 They say, Charlie, who are you behind?
00:04:01.000 Answer Larry Elder, electelder.com.
00:04:04.000 And I got to give our show credit.
00:04:06.000 I got to give Andrew credit.
00:04:07.000 I got to give Connor credit.
00:04:08.000 I got to give our whole team credit.
00:04:10.000 We have been on this California recall story early.
00:04:13.000 We were on it when they were just collecting signatures.
00:04:16.000 We were on it, man, at least nine months, nine, ten months ago.
00:04:20.000 Now it's kind of like the cool thing to be talking about.
00:04:22.000 But I'm here and I want to get the drumbeat going.
00:04:24.000 This can happen, everybody.
00:04:27.000 So people are saying, well, what do I do?
00:04:29.000 What can I do to make a difference?
00:04:31.000 This, if we get Gavin Newsom recalled and Larry Elder is governor of California, you I don't, I'm gonna think about before I say this, that almost is bigger than Donald Trump winning the presidency in 16.
00:04:45.000 Not bigger as Sir's geopolitical claims, but a bigger upset, a bigger deal.
00:04:51.000 California is supposed to be the progressive city on the hill.
00:04:56.000 California is supposed to be the untouchable state.
00:04:59.000 You get Larry Elder as a pro-life governor.
00:05:04.000 I'm telling you, I handicapped the odds at 30% before.
00:05:10.000 I think we're at about 50%.
00:05:11.000 What do you think, Producer Connor?
00:05:13.000 I think we're about 50%.
00:05:15.000 I would give the odds 50%, heads or tails, that Gavin Newsom gets recalled.
00:05:22.000 Now, some people are saying, well, a Democrat is currently in the front for the replacement.
00:05:28.000 These Republicans need to drop out, is what needs to happen.
00:05:31.000 They need to consolidate support behind Larry Elder.
00:05:35.000 This guy, Pafrith, received 27% of support, Larry Elder at 23%.
00:05:41.000 And Jenner needs to get out of the race.
00:05:42.000 That's a joke.
00:05:43.000 It's a total joke.
00:05:45.000 Two polls from Emerson and Nexstar media, one released in July and one in August, showed a clear movement away from Newsom in the last two weeks.
00:05:54.000 And guess what?
00:05:54.000 They're going to lock down California again while the recall effort is coming up.
00:05:58.000 So you might be saying, Charlie, when is the recall?
00:06:00.000 It's September 14th.
00:06:01.000 Am I right with that?
00:06:02.000 I think it's a Tuesday, right?
00:06:04.000 Is that right?
00:06:05.000 September 14th.
00:06:06.000 And guess what?
00:06:07.000 A lot of you say, Charlie, I loved your election live stream.
00:06:10.000 You did.
00:06:10.000 We're going to be back in the chair all night for the California recall.
00:06:14.000 We will be watching it in real time.
00:06:16.000 So circle your calendars.
00:06:17.000 September 14th.
00:06:18.000 You can watch us on all the different live stream channels.
00:06:21.000 We're going to have a whole set of experts.
00:06:22.000 We might even fly in producer Andrew from Santa Barbara.
00:06:27.000 And maybe we'll be celebrating.
00:06:29.000 What if this is the first domino to drop?
00:06:32.000 What if a Republican becomes governor in California?
00:06:36.000 What does that say for the 2022 midterms?
00:06:39.000 I love everything about this because that will throw a curveball and a boomerang and an offensive strategy to California, who's basically running our country.
00:06:48.000 Let me prove it to you.
00:06:49.000 California is running our country.
00:06:52.000 Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House.
00:06:54.000 Adam Schiff is head of the House Intel Committee.
00:06:56.000 Eric Swalwell is acting like the Sultan of Brunei, shirtless in a foreign Middle Eastern country with slaves around him in some sort of country that's awful for free speech protections.
00:07:11.000 We have Kamala Harris, who's the vice president of the United States.
00:07:14.000 Menlo Park has Google, Facebook, and Twitter all headquartered there.
00:07:20.000 California runs the whole country.
00:07:22.000 And you're trying to tell me that if Republicans can't win back the governor's mansion in California, that you can't all of a sudden take back the House of the Senate.
00:07:33.000 I want to give a shout out to Jack Hibbs.
00:07:35.000 Jack Hibbs is a dear friend of mine.
00:07:36.000 He's a pastor from Calvary Chapel, Chino Hills.
00:07:39.000 And Jack Hibbs came up to me.
00:07:40.000 He said, this is back in February.
00:07:42.000 Actually, I did an event with him in January.
00:07:43.000 That was a really big event.
00:07:43.000 Remember that event?
00:07:45.000 And he says, Charlie, I have a vision.
00:07:47.000 We're going to win back California.
00:07:49.000 I say, Jack, I will never disagree with you, man, but come on.
00:07:53.000 And I'm not saying it's done.
00:07:55.000 There's going to be potential shenanigans.
00:07:55.000 It's not over.
00:07:58.000 I was going to say the F-word, but they could pull down your feed because of that.
00:08:01.000 There's going to be nonsense.
00:08:02.000 There's going to be ballots all over the place, but turnout will be low for the Democrats and it will be high for Republicans.
00:08:10.000 All the polls say Hispanics are the only ethnic group to support the recall.
00:08:15.000 So, in a hilarious turn of events, the massive open border campaign of the Democrats to bring in more voters are actually going to get Gavin Newsom recalled, potentially.
00:08:25.000 Now, if you're listening to this in California, get involved in the recall effort, knock on doors, give some money.
00:08:31.000 The center of the political world right now is in California.
00:08:36.000 Connor, there's not another election coming up before that's more important.
00:08:38.000 Would you agree?
00:08:40.000 Six weeks, right?
00:08:41.000 There's not another election that's coming up.
00:08:43.000 Maybe you're just anxious and you're like, man, I want to do something.
00:08:46.000 Put some attention on California.
00:08:47.000 Gavin Newsome's on defense.
00:08:49.000 And if you could take out the metaphorical head of the snake, said metaphorical, okay, all of a sudden, what else can fly from that point forward?
00:08:58.000 Now, there were some Ohio elections last night, but that's not even as close to being important where Trump's endorsed candidate won in Ohio.
00:09:05.000 Got to keep the drumbeat going.
00:09:06.000 And I'm telling you, we can win in California.
00:09:09.000 Where else can we win?
00:09:10.000 New York?
00:09:11.000 Maybe Cuomo's the next to go.
00:09:14.000 Maybe we could take back the Senate in record numbers.
00:09:17.000 Maybe we're going to take back the White House in 24 in big numbers.
00:09:21.000 Don't lose hope, everybody.
00:09:23.000 There's a lot of that going around.
00:09:25.000 We are going to see a grassroots California constitutional reset.
00:09:30.000 And I could tell you right now, there is a remnant of great folks in California.
00:09:34.000 I speak there all the time, and they are so fired up and they are eager and they are willing to try to do something.
00:09:41.000 We have that Wilfrid Wall Street clip.
00:09:45.000 This is the drumbeat that we got to start.
00:09:47.000 Okay, play tape.
00:09:50.000 Thank you.
00:10:02.000 Come on.
00:10:08.000 With a common denominator.
00:10:19.000 Keep it up for me.
00:10:20.000 CEO.
00:10:22.000 Oh, how the money comes in.
00:10:25.000 That's what we got to do with the recall.
00:10:26.000 Start the drumbeat, everybody.
00:10:28.000 Get it going.
00:10:31.000 Recall Newsome.
00:10:37.000 They're worried.
00:10:38.000 They're trying to cover every story they possibly can.
00:10:40.000 They have this big campaign.
00:10:42.000 Reject the Republican recall.
00:10:43.000 No, it's a recall on you, Gavin Newsom.
00:10:45.000 And you're down double digits.
00:10:46.000 There is a movement in this country of patriotic, God-fearing Americans that are not giving up yet.
00:10:52.000 They're fed up with the Republican Party because they don't fight, but they want something to do.
00:10:57.000 And Gavin Newsom, who has shut down the state, lied about it, did shenanigans with a nursing home scandal.
00:11:03.000 He is now, in the next six weeks, the most vulnerable person in politics, besides Andrew Cuomo.
00:11:12.000 And I'm loving it.
00:11:16.000 I often talk about the crushing debt and lack of jobs that come with the broken college system in our country and how entering a trade or vocational school can provide great career opportunities where you are and skills will always be in demand.
00:11:29.000 I want to talk to you about a good friend of mine, a great American who runs an organization called the American Institute of Non-Destructive Testing.
00:11:39.000 Maybe you're looking for a career.
00:11:41.000 Maybe you just graduated high school.
00:11:43.000 Maybe you are not really sure what you want to do with your life.
00:11:47.000 Well, the American Institute of Non-Destructive Testing is a place where you can get a skill in six months, and 93% of the people that go through this training get jobs with wages of $50,000 and can earn to $70,000 or $80,000 a year.
00:12:06.000 And you might say, what is it?
00:12:08.000 Well, it's training.com.
00:12:12.000 That's trainingt.com to learn how you can have an opportunity to work in industries such as aerospace, oil, gas, nuclear, and alternative energy as a technician performing critical inspections that make our world a safer place.
00:12:27.000 So non-destructive testing is where you are inspecting America's critical infrastructure.
00:12:32.000 Let me tell you why this is important.
00:12:35.000 It's recession-proof.
00:12:37.000 Even if the economy goes down, things we already have need to get inspected.
00:12:41.000 Critical infrastructure needs to be looked at.
00:12:43.000 Rocket ships need to be looked at.
00:12:45.000 Nuclear plants need to be looked at.
00:12:46.000 And guess what?
00:12:47.000 People going into non-destructive testing needs to go up because so many people are retiring.
00:12:52.000 There's a huge opportunity out there for you.
00:12:54.000 Their program consists of six months online education, followed by three weeks at the American Institute campus using state-of-the-art inspection equipment such as ultrasonics, capturing x-rays, and producing magnetic fields to inspect critical components to ensure their safety and reliability.
00:13:13.000 I want you to know that Don Booth, the CEO, is a patriot and his whole team cares about the future of every single graduate.
00:13:21.000 So if you guys are looking for a job, looking for a career, looking for the next thing to do in life, or maybe you're 40 or 50 years old, you're like, man, I want a fresh start.
00:13:31.000 Go to trainingndt.com and learn about this exciting and rewarding career.
00:13:36.000 We here on the Charlie Kirk Show want to give the muscular class a voice.
00:13:41.000 93% job placement.
00:13:44.000 It's pretty amazing.
00:13:45.000 No college can tell you that.
00:13:47.000 93% job placement, working with your hands, maybe in aerospace, oil, gas, nuclear, or alternative energy.
00:13:55.000 Go to trainingnd.com and learn about this exciting and rewarding career.
00:14:06.000 Someone asked us, they emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:14:08.000 Walter, they said, Charlie, why don't people leave California if it's so terrible?
00:14:13.000 Producer Andrew and I were just email kind of messaging back and forth.
00:14:16.000 And by the way, if I select your question, you win a signed copy of the MAGA doctrine.
00:14:21.000 So email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:14:24.000 I know this is going to sound silly, but it really does come down to the weather.
00:14:30.000 It's that simple.
00:14:32.000 California has the highest sales tax, highest gas tax, highest income tax, most homeless, most abortions, most vagrancy, degeneracy.
00:14:42.000 But it's actually kind of nice at night.
00:14:44.000 California nights and California mornings, even California days, throughout the year, it kind of can get hot here and there, but it's really pleasant and decent.
00:14:53.000 It really does kind of come down to a nice way of life.
00:14:57.000 Their schools are awful.
00:14:59.000 It is an objectively beautiful state, which actually fires me up of how people could mess up California.
00:15:05.000 And, you know, it does have some great people.
00:15:07.000 And the reason it has lots of good people is the idea of California used to be that you could come to California with nothing and you could become anybody.
00:15:18.000 I mean, right now in Phoenix, what is it, 117 degrees outside?
00:15:22.000 Easily.
00:15:22.000 No, actually, yesterday it was 124 in the car when I got in.
00:15:25.000 It said 124.
00:15:26.000 I saw the numbers.
00:15:27.000 It's 124.
00:15:29.000 And in Thousand Oaks, what's the temperature in 1,000?
00:15:32.000 It's a nice 79 degrees.
00:15:35.000 Big difference.
00:15:37.000 It really does come down to the weather, the objective beauty, and the people.
00:15:42.000 And so I guess it's a fight in California over who is going to win back the chambers of power and will Democrats finally be challenged and pushed back against.
00:15:54.000 Okay, let's get to the next question here that you guys have emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:15:58.000 Here's a great question from Chastity.
00:16:01.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:16:02.000 You know what I'm curious about?
00:16:03.000 What are these people doing with their stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment?
00:16:08.000 Since apparently they aren't paying their rent and utilities, my husband, son, and I have not missed one day of work since this started and paid our bills on time with each month without government assistance.
00:16:17.000 Makes me so angry.
00:16:19.000 This is why I was never for this eviction moratorium.
00:16:19.000 Chastity.
00:16:23.000 Take some personal responsibility.
00:16:25.000 If the government is going to send out free money in every direction, and if the government is also going to have massive unemployment, and we also have a very generous social welfare state, way too generous, way too big, way too overbearing, then why also do we need to have the people that refuse to pay their rent not be able to be evicted?
00:16:45.000 You know what you're really doing?
00:16:46.000 Is you're destroying the small level scale rental market in our country.
00:16:51.000 Is you're destroying the ability for business owners that might have 10 or 12 tenants and they're making revenue off of that and they have to pay a lot in property taxes.
00:17:00.000 You're destroying that entire business model.
00:17:02.000 And what it really does is it subsidizes bad behavior.
00:17:06.000 If you're at the point right now and you're in August of 2021 and you still have not paid enough rent where they want to evict you, you got some serious financial problems.
00:17:14.000 You should not be living there.
00:17:16.000 You should be evicted, especially with all the assistance that's been available to you.
00:17:22.000 Instead, we're penalizing the people that have been paying their rent.
00:17:25.000 I want you to think about this.
00:17:26.000 The people that have been paying their rent, you know what they should be asking?
00:17:29.000 Why did I pay my rent?
00:17:31.000 Why did I do that?
00:17:32.000 Now it could harm your credit, but actually, Connor, can you look into this?
00:17:36.000 I don't think they were allowed to put strikes against your credit.
00:17:38.000 Am I right?
00:17:39.000 Is that correct?
00:17:40.000 So why even pay your rent?
00:17:42.000 If you rent in the last year and a half, you're a sucker.
00:17:50.000 If you pay rent, you didn't need to.
00:17:55.000 Because I don't think there was any downside.
00:17:57.000 Is that right, Connor?
00:17:59.000 So you got a bunch of people that have been living literally rent-free.
00:18:04.000 I know that sounds because that's like an expression, rent-free.
00:18:06.000 But if you've been paying your rent, all that money you could have spent on other stuff and there would be nothing used against you.
00:18:14.000 Yeah, because you can't strike down the credit.
00:18:16.000 You might be getting in some arguments with your landlord, but you know what you'd say is you can't evict me.
00:18:20.000 It's against the law.
00:18:21.000 Have a nice day.
00:18:23.000 It is so incredibly immoral to subsidize people that are flippantly and intentionally stealing lodging.
00:18:34.000 That's what it is.
00:18:35.000 If you are intentionally not paying your rent after this long, you are stealing lodging and stealing property from people that have invested their capital into housing you.
00:18:45.000 That's what criminals do.
00:18:48.000 That's what people that believe in theft do.
00:18:52.000 And now the federal government coming in and saying, oh, no, we're going to extend another six months.
00:18:56.000 What's the business model again for actually owning apartments now?
00:19:00.000 How are those numbers going to work?
00:19:01.000 If you get a bunch of people that just kind of come in like, oh, yeah, sure, I'll pay the security deposit, but now you can't get rid of me.
00:19:07.000 While over $46 billion was given in rental relief and just $3 billion has made it out.
00:19:17.000 You know where that money's been going?
00:19:18.000 They're not paying rent.
00:19:20.000 They're buying other stuff.
00:19:21.000 They're buying goods that do not appreciate in value.
00:19:27.000 Look, we are all equal.
00:19:30.000 We don't have equal talents.
00:19:33.000 We don't have equal desires.
00:19:35.000 We don't have equal outcomes.
00:19:36.000 But we're all equal.
00:19:39.000 We all need to eat.
00:19:41.000 What are you eating?
00:19:43.000 Maybe it's Chinese meat.
00:19:45.000 Maybe it's grocery store stuff you can't define.
00:19:48.000 When is the last time you think you had American meat?
00:19:51.000 Chances are it's been very long.
00:19:54.000 Did you know that over 80% of grass-fed beef sold in the United States is imported from overseas?
00:19:59.000 My friends, the Good Ranchers crew have traveled the country on a mission to help the American family.
00:20:05.000 How?

00:20:21.000 A T-Bone from goodranchers.com.
00:20:23.000 We got this box of meat.
00:20:27.000 And Connor sprung into action as soon as the box arrived.
00:20:30.000 It was unbelievable.
00:20:31.000 The box arrived, and you know, you could say it was like a child at Christmas.
00:20:37.000 You could say all sorts of things.
00:20:40.000 It was beyond that because it was American meat.
00:20:43.000 In fact, some people working at our office, they twirled around in their chair and they just stared at the box of meat.
00:20:52.000 And in fact, one of them said, Do we get any of that meat?
00:20:55.000 And Producer Connor said, No way.
00:20:58.000 Do you want to have a box of meat delivered to your door with that kind of a reaction?

00:21:30.000 Hi, Charlie.
00:21:31.000 I've lived in a house with a landlord for three years and now have never been late and find it hard to believe to have done it any other way.
00:21:36.000 If I didn't pay my bills, he wouldn't have paid his, and I still would have been out on my tail.
00:21:41.000 He used a different word.
00:21:42.000 I don't get how people think this is legal, moral, and humanly possible in any society.
00:21:46.000 Walter, New York.
00:21:47.000 Well, Walter, unfortunately, it's legal because our government is subsidizing lawlessness.
00:21:54.000 Intentionally staying in a home without paying rent or a condo or an apartment.
00:22:01.000 Let me say that again.
00:22:02.000 Intentionally, not having some sort of unforeseen medical emergency, but intentionally is no different than walking into a bank with a firearm and taking money.
00:22:13.000 You are stealing property from somebody else.
00:22:16.000 You are stealing the ability to monetize that property.
00:22:22.000 And what we've done is we have basically said to anyone who has paid rent in any capacity, if you're listening all across the country right now, that you are a sucker and that all that money you paid as rent could have been used for something else.
00:22:39.000 We just taxed the responsible people and we bailed out the irresponsible people.
00:22:47.000 I wonder what that sounds like.
00:22:48.000 Sounds like the 2008 financial crisis, doesn't it?
00:22:52.000 Where we taxed the people that actually were responsible with their mortgages and we bailed out the banks and the people that were irresponsible with their mortgages.
00:23:02.000 A question here says, it's Eric from Fargo, North Dakota.
00:23:07.000 Hey, Charlie, do you think we should impeach Joe Biden after these recent developments?
00:23:14.000 Thanks so much.
00:23:15.000 I'm not quick to go to the impeachment procedure, but it's time to start to escalate things considering the damage he is doing to this country.
00:23:24.000 The great one, Mark Levin, author of American Marxism, gave one of the best monologues that I've heard in recent memory on Sean Hannity's program last night.
00:23:35.000 It's three parts.
00:23:36.000 I'm going to comment after each one of them.
00:23:39.000 And I want you to think about this.
00:23:41.000 Why are Republicans going and signaling to go vote for an infrastructure bill while Joe Biden is doing the damage he's doing to our country?
00:23:52.000 And I'll be very honest with you.
00:23:53.000 I got started in politics in the Obama era.
00:23:57.000 And I think at times we overly criticized Obama, the person, and not his policies and his damage.
00:24:04.000 I think we are undercriticizing Joe Biden.
00:24:08.000 I think Joe Biden gets a free pass, largely because he just deflects it so much because he's so non-threatening to so many people.
00:24:16.000 Make no mistake, this guy's an egomaniac, and this guy's doing very specific damage almost irreparably.
00:24:26.000 Cut 90, the great one.
00:24:28.000 Joe Biden is the most disastrous president in modern American history.
00:24:32.000 No president has ever done this to his own people.
00:24:35.000 This guy is a coward.
00:24:36.000 He buckles to the radical left in his party.
00:24:39.000 He's a fool.
00:24:40.000 The idea that people who are vaccinated are the ones who are going to be punished.
00:24:44.000 It's like the gun owners who are law-abiding are the ones who are going to be punished.
00:24:47.000 It's like the successful people in this country.
00:24:49.000 They're the ones they intend to punish with the tax code.
00:24:52.000 Is there anything going right in this country?
00:24:54.000 Gasoline prices going up?
00:24:55.000 Food prices going up?
00:24:57.000 Anything going right on this country?
00:24:58.000 The border wide open?
00:25:00.000 I want to reemphasize what he just said.
00:25:02.000 Penalizing the people that follow the rules and prioritizing and benefiting the people that don't.
00:25:09.000 Isn't that the same thing we were just talking about with the rent moratorium or the eviction moratorium?
00:25:13.000 Same thing that we talk about with the bailouts of the companies that have unsustainable checkbooks and balance sheets?
00:25:19.000 What this is really all about is Biden wants to turn Texas blue, bringing as many Hondurans to Nicaraguans as we possibly can.
00:25:26.000 Eventually, through sheer numbers, we're going to turn Texas into New York and the country will be done.
00:25:31.000 Cut 91.
00:25:33.000 Towns are overwhelmed, and let me tell you why he's doing it.
00:25:35.000 Let's be blunt.
00:25:36.000 He wants to turn Texas blue.
00:25:38.000 He wants to turn Arizona blue.
00:25:40.000 This street politician from Wilmington, Delaware, the dumbest man to ever serve in the Senate, the dumbest man to ever be vice president, is now the dumbest man to ever be president.
00:25:50.000 He's got a massive ego.
00:25:52.000 He's a narcissist.
00:25:53.000 He wants to go down in history as the greatest president.
00:25:56.000 He's going to have history as the greatest disaster.
00:25:58.000 He's doing more to weaken this country than the communist Chinese could ever pray to do.
00:26:03.000 And so Mark Levin now says, hey, Republicans, it's time to step up.
00:26:09.000 It's time to do something about this.
00:26:12.000 And I've been texting back and forth with a couple senators.
00:26:15.000 I need to get my thoughts organized before I say that.
00:26:18.000 I'm disappointed.
00:26:19.000 Let's just put it that way.
00:26:20.000 I don't want to say anything out of turn.
00:26:22.000 Cut 92.
00:26:23.000 Well, is there time to remove this guy from the Oval Office or at least make an effort?
00:26:28.000 So you tough guy Republicans who come on here, you tough guy Republicans on radio, how about it?
00:26:34.000 The I-word, impeachment.
00:26:36.000 Let's start to talk about it.
00:26:37.000 Or the 25th Amendment.
00:26:39.000 It'll never happen.
00:26:40.000 But let's start to talk about it.
00:26:42.000 He's doing more damage to this country as far as I'm concerned than any single one of our enemies.
00:26:49.000 And instead, the I-word that we talk about is infrastructure.
00:26:53.000 Yeah, let's go bargain with these people.
00:26:54.000 Let's go negotiate with the Democrats.
00:26:57.000 Any Republican that is going to vote for this infrastructure package while the damage that's being done to our country, you shouldn't even return the call from the White House.
00:27:06.000 We are playing checkers, nice little game of checkers with T, and they're playing MMA blood sport for the death.
00:27:16.000 Another question here.
00:27:17.000 Hey, Charlie, are there other examples?
00:27:21.000 This is Ron from the Inland Empire.
00:27:24.000 Hey, Charlie, are there any other examples of countries that have done the sort of nationalist, I'm trying to read the type of words, pro-nation reforms that you want to see implemented have done them well?
00:27:38.000 That's the essence of his email.
00:27:39.000 Well, Tucker Carlson was just recently in Hungary.
00:27:42.000 I think he's still there.
00:27:44.000 And of course, the media is losing their mind.
00:27:46.000 How dare you compliment Hungary, right?
00:27:48.000 You're only allowed to compliment countries that are falling apart.
00:27:51.000 How dare you talk about countries actually have their act together?
00:27:54.000 Terrible person.
00:27:55.000 And Hungary is a country of about 10 million people.
00:27:58.000 And Tucker talks about how in Hungary they had the political will to actually fix some problems.
00:28:05.000 So, hey, Republicans out there, you could learn a lot from the Hungarian government and Hungarian leaders.
00:28:10.000 You know why?
00:28:10.000 They saw a problem and they were willing to try and fix it.
00:28:13.000 They didn't just talk about it.
00:28:15.000 They didn't just try to get favor in the European Union.
00:28:18.000 They didn't just try to get re-elected.
00:28:20.000 They saw a problem because they love their country and they fixed it.
00:28:23.000 Cut 94.
00:28:25.000 And we looked at this Hungarian wall that has effectively ended illegal migration into the country.
00:28:31.000 And we found a couple of things.
00:28:33.000 For one, it's not actually a wall, it's a chain-linked fence.
00:28:36.000 It's very simple.
00:28:38.000 And if you sat for the last five years and listened to American experts debate how it's impossible to stop immigration with the wall, no matter how high tech, you learned that that's a complete lie.
00:28:48.000 All you need is the will to do it.
00:28:51.000 The will to do it.
00:28:53.000 Are you in some way upset at the direction the country's doing?
00:28:59.000 And just so you know, if you're listening to this right now, Charlie, why don't Republicans do it?
00:29:02.000 They don't want to.
00:29:03.000 That's why.
00:29:04.000 They want the job at the corporate board afterwards, like the corporate shill, Governor Hutchinson from Arkansas.
00:29:11.000 I think we're actually live in Arkansas right now.
00:29:13.000 So that's kind of fun to be able to attack the governor of Arkansas.
00:29:15.000 He's terrible.
00:29:17.000 Absolutely awful.
00:29:18.000 He regrets.
00:29:18.000 He's like, I regret signing a mask mandate ban.
00:29:21.000 I like children being chemically castrated, or that's liberty to allow children to chemically castrate themselves.
00:29:26.000 Yeah, right.
00:29:27.000 I guarantee this, he'll be on the board of Walmart in the next five years.
00:29:30.000 Guarantee it.
00:29:32.000 Cut 95, Tucker recounts how he witnessed that on the Hungarian border, if someone crossed and came in, they're immediately processed and released back.
00:29:39.000 Here's the difference.
00:29:40.000 In Hungary, they're not ruled by a corporate class.
00:29:43.000 They're not ruled by self-interested, quite honestly, very weak Republicans like we have in our country.
00:29:49.000 Cut 95.
00:29:50.000 While we were on the border, say, the Serbian border in Hungary, we saw two people who attempted to come illegally.
00:29:55.000 Both of them turned out to be from Syria.
00:29:57.000 And we watched what happened when they were apprehended.
00:29:59.000 It was a very straightforward process, so straightforward that was a little confusing to watch.
00:30:04.000 They came over the border.
00:30:05.000 They were immediately picked up by border patrol.
00:30:07.000 They were brought to a detainment area.
00:30:09.000 They were treated politely.
00:30:10.000 We were there the whole time.
00:30:11.000 They were photographed.
00:30:12.000 They were searched for weapons on the outside of their clothing.
00:30:15.000 And then they were escorted through a door.
00:30:17.000 And we followed them.
00:30:17.000 We thought they're going to further processing or to meet with their attorneys or some Soros-funded NGO and then moved into some other part of Hungary to stay there forever, at least a few years.
00:30:27.000 But that's not what it was.
00:30:28.000 That door was the border.
00:30:30.000 And as we followed them through, they were escorted back where they came from.
00:30:34.000 In Cut 96, I've had this experience.
00:30:37.000 When I talk to friends overseas, it's embarrassing to have to talk about what we do in our country.
00:30:42.000 It's honestly become an embarrassment.
00:30:45.000 They said, oh, Trump's turning us into the laughingstock of the world.
00:30:47.000 That's not true at all, by the way.
00:30:49.000 None of that was true.
00:30:51.000 What is embarrassing is trying to describe what's happening to our country because we're doing it to ourselves.
00:30:58.000 And as we watched this happen, we said to a Hungarian minister who was standing there, it's hard to believe that's your policy?
00:31:05.000 When you come here illegally, you're just escorted out politely.
00:31:08.000 And he said, quote, we're a serious country.
00:31:12.000 How embarrassing to be an American in a conversation like that, to realize the greatest country on earth is not on some level a serious country because it allows the chaos that inevitably occurs, the human suffering that inevitably occurs when you open your borders.
00:31:28.000 Next question here from Anna Lee, but I just want to close that out with Tucker.
00:31:31.000 It is embarrassing.
00:31:33.000 And it's because of the Republican Party.
00:31:35.000 Forget the Democrats.
00:31:36.000 Republicans could fix this if they want to.
00:31:38.000 What's missing is that word, will.
00:31:41.000 They're afraid of bad articles from the Washington Post.
00:31:43.000 They're afraid of lobbyists getting in their ear.
00:31:45.000 They're afraid of blackmail being released on them.
00:31:47.000 They're afraid of not getting reelected.
00:31:49.000 They would rather be happy and content and their children go to nice universities.
00:31:53.000 They probably become liberals and the country fall apart.
00:31:57.000 Anna Lee, my roommate and I got COVID a couple weeks ago, quarantined for 10 days and haven't been doing great.
00:32:02.000 We are not vaccinated.
00:32:03.000 We felt like we had the flu and lost our taste of smell.
00:32:05.000 Our COVID test simply said positive and the doctors never mentioned anything about the Delta variant.
00:32:10.000 My question is where and how are they testing for the Delta variant?
00:32:13.000 If the variant is supposedly so prevalent right now, why was it not mentioned to me or my roommate when we just had COVID?
00:32:18.000 I try to focus on facts over here, but it seems to me a question that no one can answer.
00:32:22.000 Well, the reason no one can answer it is because the testing is so unbelievably flawed in this country.
00:32:27.000 The PCR tests have come out and they basically said the testing is completely and totally screwed up.
00:32:32.000 That basically they've just been totally guessing it's actually not accurate.
00:32:36.000 So we don't know who actually has COVID.
00:32:38.000 We don't know if they have COVID-like symptoms.
00:32:40.000 We can guess, we can see a symptom pattern, but it's very expensive to determine if it's Delta or not.
00:32:46.000 So what's really going on here?
00:32:48.000 Is the vaccine actually correlated with higher rates of the virus?
00:32:56.000 Well, what if I told you that 12 out of 13 of the most vaccinated countries in the world are now listed by the CDC as a travel risk?
00:33:05.000 Let me say that again.
00:33:06.000 That 12 out of 13 of the most vaccinated countries in the world are now listed by the CDC as a travel risk.
00:33:13.000 We're going to talk about a couple test cases, including Gibraltar, a small country, the most vaccinated country in the world, that's now locking down again because of the trouble that they're seeing.
00:33:26.000 Larry from Tennessee asks kind of a question about vaccination rates and what's really going on here.
00:33:32.000 Let me read you some numbers here.
00:33:34.000 With around 33,000 residents, Gibraltar is the most vaccinated country on earth.
00:33:38.000 This is from Canoca the Great, the Telegram channel, really smart.
00:33:41.000 By June 1st, over 99% of Gibraltar's population was fully vaccinated.
00:33:45.000 We independently verified this, by the way.
00:33:48.000 Since that time, the new COVID cases per day have increased from 1 to 25, and the country's now going back into lockdowns.
00:33:56.000 Similar stories are occurring in countries with the highest percentage of vaccinated, Israel, UK, Malta, and Iceland.
00:34:04.000 Iceland is saying they need 15 years of lockdowns.
00:34:07.000 Iceland has the third highest rate of COVID-19 vaccinations in the world, with 75% of the population vaccinated.
00:34:16.000 Thankfully, viruses get less deadly over time, and deaths in Iceland remain near zero.
00:34:22.000 Wait, if the virus is getting less deadly over time, why are we locking down again and why do we have to vaccinate as much?
00:34:31.000 That's somewhat illogical, isn't it?
00:34:34.000 We're not ruled by logic or reason.
00:34:36.000 We're definitely not ruled by courage.
00:34:38.000 Ron DeSantis would be the exception.
00:34:41.000 Also, here's a question.
00:34:43.000 Can I get a vaccine passport for saying I've already had COVID?
00:34:47.000 Can I get an antibody passport?
00:34:50.000 Why is no one talking about that?
00:34:52.000 In fact, we should start floating that.
00:34:54.000 What about antibody passports?
00:34:56.000 No?
00:34:58.000 Because I asked my office, I said, who of yours had COVID?
00:35:00.000 Three-fourths of the hands rose.
00:35:02.000 I said, how was it?
00:35:03.000 They're like, I lost sleep for a night and I coughed a little bit.
00:35:06.000 Oh, so that's worth destroying our civilization over.
00:35:12.000 It really is incredible how the adults that are in politics in our country have messed this entire thing up.
00:35:20.000 America could have led on this.
00:35:21.000 We really could.
00:35:22.000 We could have been anti-lockdown, pro-liberty, pro-freedom, pro-therapeutic treatment.
00:35:32.000 And so here's the real question, the logical question and the obvious one.
00:35:37.000 Based on empirical data, is the vaccine making things better, no change, or making things worse?
00:35:44.000 That's a legitimate question.
00:35:47.000 Because the data is actually showing an increase.
00:35:50.000 That's a scientific question.
00:35:54.000 There's a massive anti-lockdown protest happening in Melbourne, Australia.
00:35:58.000 And guess what Australia is doing?
00:36:00.000 They're sending the military into the streets.
00:36:03.000 Martial law.
00:36:07.000 So to answer your question, what's going on with all of this?
00:36:12.000 As we have went through mass inoculation and mass vaccination, we have now seen the opposite happened.
00:36:24.000 Now they say, oh, it's a crisis of the unvaccinated.
00:36:27.000 First of all, the CDC's own data shows that in Massachusetts, they showed that vaccinated people were more likely to actually get infected.
00:36:34.000 That's the CDC's own leaked data.
00:36:36.000 So let's put that aside.
00:36:37.000 What about the countries that are almost all 100% vaccinated?
00:36:40.000 What about them?
00:36:41.000 What about the countries that are almost all subservient to AstraZeneca, Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson Johnson?
00:36:50.000 So here's a question.
00:36:52.000 If the vaccine works so well, why do you need boosters?
00:36:58.000 Is this about social control or is this about public health?
00:37:03.000 Can somebody who's in the leadership of our country answer this question?
00:37:08.000 What number of deaths a day do you want to reach until you can fully reopen the country again?
00:37:16.000 If the vaccine works so well, why do you need to wear masks inside around your children?
00:37:22.000 If the vaccine works so well, why are rates going up and then you still want everyone to go get it?
00:37:31.000 Medscape has started the public discussion for medical professions about adverse events related to COVID-19 vaccines.
00:37:37.000 There's over 1,000 comments so far.
00:37:40.000 And I think you have to have a portal to log into that.
00:37:43.000 Is that right, Connor?
00:37:44.000 That's just for medical professionals.
00:37:46.000 That's not just like some blog.
00:37:48.000 And we know this to be true.
00:37:50.000 Even when I had this conversation where I got a little bit heated, not overly angry, but I got emotional because I'm so into this with Vausch and Tim Poole.
00:37:57.000 And I thought it was a great discussion around the vaccine because I have received 6,000 emails of people that have had adverse event reactions, emails and comments and notes.
00:38:06.000 And I'm just supposed to ignore that.
00:38:08.000 I'm just supposed to ignore when someone says, oh, yeah, my dad dropped dead after he got the Moderna shot.
00:38:12.000 Oh, oh, yeah, my daughter can't walk.
00:38:14.000 Or, oh, yeah, I had a miscarriage.
00:38:15.000 Like, oh, no, stop it.
00:38:16.000 There's nothing to that.
00:38:18.000 I will believe my lying eyes.
00:38:20.000 Thank you very much.
00:38:23.000 So we don't actually know the answer to a lot of these questions.
00:38:26.000 What we do know is that there's more to this story and that the lockdowns must end immediately and they're doing massive damage to your children and our country.
00:38:36.000 I'm not going to put up with it and we're going to push back against it.
00:38:39.000 Will you?
00:38:40.000 I hope so.
00:38:41.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:38:50.000 God bless.
00:38:54.000 So first of all, why study history?
00:38:56.000 It comes from a Greek word means inquiry, looking into things.
00:39:01.000 The first book of history was written by Herodotus.
00:39:03.000 It's called The Histories.
00:39:05.000 It's a story of the past.
00:39:07.000 And of course, not everything in the past, significant things in the past, things that we can learn from, things that stand for something.
00:39:14.000 It's just a piece, really, of this wish that we have to understand.
00:39:18.000 In his metaphysics, Aristotle says in the first line, the human soul stretches itself out to know.
00:39:27.000 We like to know.
00:39:28.000 And one of the things we like to know is we like to know about ourselves because unlike other creatures, we're not ruled simply by instinct.
00:39:37.000 We have to choose our way.
00:39:38.000 Which way should we go?
00:39:40.000 And then the second thing is we look at others.
00:39:43.000 And we are unusually well equipped to do this because we can talk.
00:39:47.000 We can explain things to each other.
00:39:49.000 We can tell each other about our inmost thoughts.
00:39:52.000 So history just expands the scope.
00:39:57.000 And the past is the only thing we can study intensely.
00:40:01.000 The present is fleeting.
00:40:03.000 Past is fixed, at least according to the old school of thought.
00:40:08.000 These days, it's a deconstructionist age.
00:40:12.000 And what we think is we're our own special time, a development or a progress on previous times.
00:40:21.000 And that sets up a way to reinterpret those old times so that they fit our categories.
00:40:28.000 And we tend to look down on them a bit too.
00:40:32.000 And that seems to me exactly wrong.
00:40:35.000 Aristotle writes, this alone is denied even to God to make what has been not to have been.
00:40:43.000 So history, it gives us a fixity that is made up of things that at the time were constantly shifting and hard to estimate.
00:40:54.000 When we're picking what we're going to do from among various options, we always have two things in mind.
00:41:00.000 One is, what would be the right thing to do?
00:41:04.000 And the other is, what is possible to do?
00:41:07.000 And you know, you can't always do the purely right thing.
00:41:11.000 Well, if you go back and study the people in the past, they're in the same situation.
00:41:18.000 And yet, in their case, the whole story is known.
00:41:23.000 It's not changing anymore.
00:41:25.000 And you can go back and you can put yourself in the shoes, you know, of Winston Churchill or of Abraham Lincoln.
00:41:32.000 Those, by the way, are two things that are sublime to do, beautiful to do, important to do.
00:41:40.000 And you can be with them where Lincoln faces the question, should I let the South go?
00:41:47.000 Look at the body count.
00:41:48.000 Lincoln grappled with that question.
00:41:50.000 You can grapple with him.
00:41:52.000 Churchill, should we fight to the death against Hitler?
00:41:56.000 He's offering a deal.
00:41:58.000 So the point is, there's a lot to know.
00:42:01.000 And what can you know?
00:42:04.000 Can you know it's now right or wrong to do what we're going to do in some country where we've had wars?
00:42:10.000 No, you can just know that a serious man had caution about that.
00:42:17.000 And what were the factors that he evaluated to make up his mind?
00:42:21.000 You could look at the same factors.
00:42:22.000 They may be different today.
00:42:24.000 But all of that depends on treating history as if it is made by people who, although very different from us in many ways, are yet still people.
00:42:36.000 The animals that can talk to each other, learn from each other, recognize good and evil, which are all, by the way, we have a course on Aristotle where we explain this.
00:42:49.000 Those are all related.
00:42:50.000 Our ability to see good and evil and our ability to talk boil down to the same thing.
00:42:55.000 And so a creature like that, which lives in a perishable body and has needs, how does it steer itself by the ultimate truth when in its needs it's just like any animal?
00:43:08.000 Well, that's the human test.
00:43:10.000 And the people in the past had to go through that test.
00:43:13.000 Good history, then, will be an accurate insofar as it's humanly possible to make it picture of what happened in the past with a sympathy for the people so that one can learn from them.
00:43:27.000 They made mistakes.
00:43:29.000 Yeah, and don't we?
00:43:32.000 Do we live in a perfect world today?
00:43:34.000 If we don't, then they were grappling with the same thing we are.
