00:00:03.000Also, I read off some of the very cold temperatures of some of our listeners, and I give a kind of a broader picture overview of the Supreme Court, where they've gone wrong, what's going right on the Supreme Court, why the Constitution matters.
00:00:18.000It's a very informative and educational episode.
00:00:20.000And if you have students or young people in your life, I think this episode would really benefit them in more ways than one.
00:00:25.000Email me directly, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:28.000We're back doing the Ask Me Anything episodes, which is what this episode is.
00:00:31.000And when you email me, you get in the queue to get a question possibly answered.
00:01:17.000His 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.
00:01:26.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:07.000So, some of you might be listening to this, and we don't know when the Supreme Court is going to rule on this.
00:02:13.000There are two different cases they are hearing simultaneously, if I'm understanding this correctly.
00:02:21.000They have the first case, which is the OSHA case that we're very familiar with.
00:02:24.000The second case is Biden v. Missouri, which concerns a regulation issue in November requiring healthcare workers at facilities that receive federal money under Medicaid and Medicare programs to be vaccinated against the Chinese coronavirus unless they qualify for a medical or a religious exemption.
00:02:45.000So, they heard both of them simultaneously.
00:02:48.000The first one, it looks more and more like it will be overturned.
00:02:52.000That is your typical 100-employee employer one.
00:02:57.000The second one is about the Biden vaccine mandate for workers at healthcare centers that serve Medicaid and Medicare.
00:03:05.000Now, I've mentioned this before, and before I get to the actual question that was just asked, I just want to make sure everyone knew the two cases.
00:03:11.000And again, you might be listening to this after the ruling, so you just got to kind of factor that in.
00:03:16.000But what I'm going to talk about is true, regardless of what the ruling is, which is I have been really surprised, shouldn't keep saying this, surprised and shocked, and all this at how many people that just kind of immediately went into a posture of unquestioned compliance.
00:04:57.000And it is going to be a question of whether or not more legal challenges can continue.
00:05:01.000So it looks like the Supreme Court, if they overturn the prior decision, it's going to go back down to just kind of more of a blizzard and a flurry of lawsuits.
00:05:10.000And it's probably going to go back to the Supreme Court at some point.
00:05:13.000And so this is going to be an, this is like a lawyer's fantasy.
00:05:16.000They're just, they're just licking their chops at how the billable hours that are going to be made possible.
00:05:22.000Okay, but the question that was asked is, do you think the Biden administration will start to consider moves to pack the court?
00:05:27.000Well, look, I want to play a piece of tape here.
00:05:29.000Okay, so this is a really important thing about kind of the type of justice they want on the Supreme Court.
00:05:35.000So I want you to imagine, just for a second, I want you to replace vaccine mandate, and I want you to replace in your mind gun confiscation mandate.
00:05:49.000So I want you to listen to what Justice Kagan says, and I want you to imagine them making this argument while saying gun confiscation mandate, meaning we must confiscate firearms.
00:07:54.000It actually shouldn't be a role of government.
00:07:56.000And here's my true constitutionalist showing up.
00:07:59.000I trust entrepreneurs and non-hyper-regulated social media networks to get the truth out a lot better, like Dr. Zelenko or Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Robert Malone, America's frontline doctors, than Kagan, who, Kagan, stay in your lane, okay?
00:08:19.000Stay in your lane of the revisionist, anti-constitutional, scholarly work that you're so focused on.
00:08:29.000But what's happened here, and Biden has kind of forced this hand, is that now we have Supreme Court justices commenting on medical data.
00:08:38.000Now, with that precedent, I want you to imagine what Kagan would say.
00:08:43.000Look, a lot of people are dying of gun violence.
00:08:47.000Gun violence is a serious problem in our country.
00:08:51.000People are really having a tough time.
00:08:55.000The only way to stop gun violence is to take their guns away.
00:08:58.000Do you all of a sudden see how the argument of public health, when it comes into the courts, the Supreme Court, Article 3 of the Constitution, could result in a mass confiscation of firearms?
00:09:44.000Kagan, I'm not going to tell you all about the Hegelian dialectic.
00:09:48.000Don't tell us about rising cases of Omicron, right?
00:09:54.000Did 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?
00:10:02.000Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization?
00:10:08.000Your first vote is at the ballot box, but that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo-Christian values.
00:10:14.000Left-wing corporations are subverting our democracy by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control, and critical race theory.
00:10:25.000You have another vote, a second vote at the checkout line.
00:10:28.000And that is where massively important organizations called Second Vote come in.

00:11:27.000The perspective of the left-wing justice is they do not view their role as a judge as an independent interpretation of what the Constitution says to set limits on the government.
00:11:39.000They look at their role as an active participant in the legislative process to try to accelerate and approve power grabs by the Leviathan.
00:11:48.000It's basically, it's two totally different perspectives.
00:11:52.000Scalia, who really was kind of the pioneer of the modern textualist, the modern originalist, he would always say that it doesn't matter whether or not I agree or disagree with the outcome or whether I think the outcome of my decision might be beneficial or detrimental to the population.
00:12:11.000What matters is whether or not it's constitutional.
00:12:14.000What matters is whether or not it fits within the framework of the rules of the land.
00:12:18.000And that's a very important point because the Constitution, being a small R Republican style government, has very specific, well thought out, wise, and unchanged truths about how people in charge act.
00:12:36.000People in charge, for example, tend to want to eradicate your privacy.
00:12:43.000You cannot be free if you do not have privacy.
00:12:48.000You cannot flourish if you are being monitored all the time.
00:12:54.000Orwell probably was the most effective author at ever articulating this, not the only thing he was able to be able to successfully make a case for.
00:13:06.000But what's really happening at the Supreme Court, and this should be a 9-0 decision, let me be very clear: both decisions should be a 9-0 decision.
00:13:16.000Benjamin Flowers, the Ohio Solicitor General, on the risk of different age groups of being vaccinated versus unvaccinated, cut 95.
00:13:24.000In the abstract, what was the least mandate or at least demand from the agency is internal consistency.
00:13:29.000And if you look at their own data, the CDC later from the last week of October, unvaccinated individuals 18 to 29 were as likely to die as vaccinating 50 to 64 year olds, and five times less likely to die than vaccinated 65 enough.
00:13:42.000Hospitalization was between 18 and 49, that's something just a young, was about as likely as vaccinated 65 and up.
00:13:49.000But if you look at the Griffin study that they cite at 61,418 of the Federal Register, unvaccinated and vaccinated both had low risks of death in ICU.
00:14:07.000And finally, I'd point you to the SCOBE study.
00:14:10.000Again, they cite that 61,418 of the Federal Register because the vaccinated individuals who are 65 or older are twice as likely to die as unvaccinated individuals 18 to 49.
00:14:22.000And keep in mind that's 18 to 49, not 18 to 29.
00:14:25.000So that's probably even more scheme if you want to be the younger demographic.
00:14:30.000Now, you never know how a justice is going to rule.
00:14:34.000But I'm going to take a shot in the dark here.
00:14:38.000Neil Gorsuch is going to rule to overturn these mandates.
00:14:41.000Now, I don't think he asked any questions today.
00:14:43.000I didn't hear him ask any questions, right?
00:14:44.000He asked a couple, but I didn't hear any questions.
00:14:47.000You might say, Charlie, how do you know?
00:14:48.000Well, first of all, Gorsuch is awesome.
00:14:50.000How do I know that Gorsuch is going to rule favorably?
00:14:54.000He was the only justice without a mascot today.
00:15:25.000And MyPillow doesn't have their box stores anymore, so we got to help them out.
00:15:28.000And part of them being canceled, they want to give you the lowest price yet.
00:15:32.000So you can get the lowest price in the history of MyPillow for their classic standard MyPillow regularly, $69.98, now only $19.98 with the promo code.
00:15:42.000They also have queen size, regularly $79.98 and $24.98 with a promo code or king size, usually $89.98, only $29.98 with your promo code.
00:16:38.000First, we have our school board watch list at Turning Point USA.
00:16:41.000You guys can go to schoolboardwatchlist.org.
00:16:43.000But the easiest way to learn how to run for a school board is to go to your local property taxes, find out what your local places you are funding, and then work backwards from there.
00:16:55.000So let's pretend you live in the suburbs of Chicago and you pay property taxes in Elk Groveville, Elk Grove Village.
00:17:00.000I'll just use a place that I know really well, Rolling Meadows or Wheeling or Mount Prospect, and you pay tax to Hersey High School or Prospect High School.
00:17:07.000You just go to your property tax bill.
00:17:09.000You say, oh, okay, I'm funding District 214, or maybe you live in Schomburg and you're funding District 211 or whatever.
00:17:14.000Well, then you just go to the District 214 website, type in or type into your search engine, District 214 elections, and all the information is there.
00:17:21.000Now, I do want to say if anyone wants to run for a school board, I'd love, I can't guarantee help.
00:17:28.000We're at our max at Turning Point Action, not Turning Point USA.
00:17:33.000And you guys should email us, freedom at charliekirk.com, or we can get you connected with other grassroots people or potential people that could be financially supportive of your effort.
00:17:43.000Not every race are we at Turning Point Action, are they able to help?
00:17:46.000But I just want to kind of make that aware for you.
00:17:49.000Okay, let's get to another question here that was emailed to us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:17:53.000Okay, there's one that just came in that I think was really important.
00:18:19.000I have a feeling they're going to get an answer pretty soon.
00:18:21.000Now, there's two different things that they're talking about.
00:18:23.000Remember, they're talking about the vaccine mandate, the OSHA mandate, which looks likely to be overturned.
00:18:29.000Even the New York Times is signaling that.
00:18:31.000And then they have the Medicare Medicaid that you can't get Medicare Medicaid dollars via hospitals if you do not have your workforce vaccinated, which unnecessarily puts the pressure on the court to all of a sudden be the interpreters of whether or not a vaccine is effective.
00:18:47.000Like that is not what a judge is supposed to do.
00:18:52.000And this is where I think that, again, I'm not moved by a lot of these administrative legal arguments.
00:18:59.000I try to go straight to the core of it.
00:19:01.000I say, wait a second, is the vaccine doing what they say it's going to do?
00:19:07.000And again, that's probably not the best place to go because I was just basically saying, it shouldn't be up for Keginasota Mayor to make some sort of decision on vaccine technology, right?
00:19:19.000But I do think that you could, instead of trying to support something, which takes a lot more evidence, you could easily debunk it, right?
00:19:26.000You could easily, let's put this, the burden of proof needs to be on the state that the vaccine has no adverse events, no risks, is 100% safe and effective, and no one is getting the virus because of it.
00:19:39.000Otherwise, then it's just an injectable therapeutic.
00:19:41.000And if it's an injectable therapeutic, then two things happen.
00:19:44.000You lose your emergency use authorization, number one.
00:19:47.000And number two, then we have to compare the vaccine or the injectable therapeutic to aspirin, ivermectin, melatonin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D, vitamin C, azithromycin, Qcertin, all these other things.
00:22:11.000With college right around the corner, I found that all colleges said, okay, I'm not too keen on getting the vaccine considering how new it is.
00:22:17.000On top of this, I have IBD and take immunosuppressant drugs.
00:22:24.000I've gone on reliable sources and found that people take a medication of low antibodies from the vaccine.
00:22:29.000Therefore, why should I get something that may or may not be effective?
00:22:33.000Not to mention, I've now gotten COVID two times.
00:22:36.000Do you have any advice or suggestions on how I can avoid being forced to get three shots simply to go to college?
00:22:42.000Also, how do I bring up the medical questions to doctors who are simply pushing vaccines?
00:22:46.000They will get in trouble if they don't.
00:22:47.000Overall, I'm not sure what you're designing some guidance or advice.
00:23:20.000And then I fired a doctor nine months ago, 12 months ago, because I went to go to physical and he said he wouldn't see me unless I had the vaccine.
00:23:26.000I'm like, yeah, okay, have a nice life.
00:23:29.000They have a COVID outbreak in that doctor's office I left shut down because of COVID.
00:26:41.000Things you're more afraid of than COVID.
00:26:46.000As many of you know, most of corporate America is going woke, and that includes those companies who are investing your hard-earned retirement money.
00:27:10.000The thing that I like about PAX Financial Group is they have biblical responsible investments.
00:27:15.000These investments screen out companies that promote abortion, pornography, alcohol, drugs, gambling, and are anti-family or anti-Christian.
00:27:22.000Look, if you have $150,000 or more in your IRA, 401ks or other investments, and you want to speak to my friends at PAX, visit paxfinancialgroup.com.
00:28:52.000Country today than we had a year ago in January.
00:28:55.000We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators.
00:29:02.000We have over 100,000 children, which we've never had before, in serious condition, and many on ventilators.
00:29:13.000So saying it's a different variant just underscores the fact that without so I know she's reading a script because that's what I sound like when I read a script on a conference call.
00:29:45.000If you look at the children who are hospitalized, many of them are hospitalized with COVID as opposed to because of COVID.
00:29:55.000And what we mean by that, if a child goes in the hospital, they automatically get tested for COVID and they get counted as a COVID hospitalized individual, when in fact they may go in for a broken leg or appendicitis or something like that.
00:30:13.000So it's overcounting the number of children who are, quote, hospitalized with COVID as opposed to because of COVID.
