The Charlie Kirk Show - Australia's COVID Catastrophe Explained

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, what is going on in Australia?

00:00:02.000 In an in-depth episode, we talk about how Australia is a canary in the coal mine, a harbinger for things to come.

00:00:08.000 It's a very important episode, and they have no freedom.

00:00:12.000 They have zero freedom, and it's really, really scary what's happening in Australia.

00:01:45.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:54.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:57.000 Hey, everybody.

00:02:24.000 So what do we do as a nation, as a people, if one of our allies starts oppressing their citizens?

00:02:32.000 This is a question that America has been faced with before.

00:02:37.000 We don't always answer that question correctly.

00:02:42.000 What if a country in the Anglosphere begins to act like the Soviet Union? 0.60

00:02:51.000 What if a country in the Anglosphere starts to tell their citizens that if they leave their home without a mask, they will be violently arrested?

00:03:04.000 Now, you might have heard some rumblings about this, but the fact that this is not the number one news story in international news, or at least in the top couple news stories,

00:03:15.000 shows how we are being controlled like Pavlovian dogs by an activist propagandist press that wants to keep you compliant and has a total and complete blackout of what's happening in countries that are in some ways very similar to our.

00:03:34.000 our own.

00:03:36.000 The extent of the news blackout and outright propaganda of what's happening in Australia is completely and totally stunning.

00:03:45.000 We've talked about Australia here and there.

00:03:47.000 And I told our team, I said, I want to dedicate an entire hour to what's happening in Australia.

00:03:54.000 What's happening in Australia is a harbinger, a canary in the coal mine, a warning of things to come.

00:04:01.000 What other phrase can I possibly use?

00:04:04.000 The coming attraction trailer of tyranny coming to your doorstep.

00:04:10.000 Australia is a different type of country than America.

00:04:14.000 We know that.

00:04:15.000 The joke is, is that Australia is a nation of former convicts because that's where the British Empire used to send a lot of their prisoners.

00:04:24.000 Australia thinks of themselves as a staunch ally of the United States.

00:04:30.000 You know, people think of Australia as a nation where they speak English, but they say things a little bit differently.

00:04:38.000 Good old Australian accent, you know, where they think of kangaroos or they think of Aborigines.

00:04:46.000 Little did anyone ever think of Australia and say, oh, yeah, Australia, of course, raids in the middle of the night if you're not vaccinated, arresting you in the streets.

00:04:58.000 But the truth is this, is Australia does not and has never ever embraced a love of liberty like America has.

00:05:06.000 And this needs to be a fire alarm warning for every single person listening.

00:05:11.000 That liberty as we know it, that flame needs to be tended to and protected.

00:05:17.000 What we are about to go through in Australia is horrifying.

00:05:22.000 It's hard to believe that this is even being tolerated.

00:05:25.000 In fact, it is so bad.

00:05:27.000 It is so over the top.

00:05:29.000 The overreach is so tyrannical that I believe that it justifies the United States suspending trade and diplomatic relations with Australia.

00:05:39.000 We need to boycott, divest, and sanction Australia until they release the pressure on their own citizens.

00:05:49.000 So what exactly is going on in Australia?

00:05:54.000 Let's play a couple tapes here.

00:05:56.000 Let's go to Cut 82.

00:05:58.000 Former head of the Australia Department of Health recently said, now we have to do is figure out how to run our lives, that this is the new normal that requires people to change their behavior and go about their lives differently.

00:06:10.000 Play Cut 82.

00:06:11.000 What we have to do is figure out how to run our lives in a way that is that new normal, that COVID-safe.

00:06:19.000 And that does require changes in behavior and it requires people to go about their business differently.

00:06:25.000 Cut 83, an Australian government official earlier this week said if your business doesn't have employees that are vaccinated or your patrons are now vaccinated, you will not be allowed to operate.

00:06:39.000 Only the fully vaccinated will be allowed to partake in business activity.

00:06:43.000 Australia has created apartheid based on vaccination status.

00:06:49.000 We boycotted South African apartheid because it was evil based on skin color.

00:06:56.000 Now Australia is saying, if you do not take the vaccine, we as the government are going to say you're not allowed to operate.

00:07:04.000 Play Cut 83.

00:07:05.000 I want to remind people across the state, especially in the regions, that if you're not vaccinated, you will go backwards.

00:07:12.000 If your business doesn't have employees that are vaccinated, your patrons aren't vaccinated, you won't be able to operate.

00:07:20.000 And so just a warning to everybody in the regions, and that's why only the fully vaccinated will be able to participate in business activity and obviously hospitality at that time.

00:07:31.000 Then you'll be able to participate and partake in business activity.

00:07:34.000 You see, Australia does not have the Bill of Rights like we do in our country.

00:07:40.000 They do not have the greatest political document ever written in the United States Constitution, nor do they have a population that, quite honestly, desires it.

00:07:48.000 Their population really doesn't want to be free.

00:07:52.000 want to be taken care of.

00:07:55.000 You see, liberty is only for a people that desire to participate in self-government.

00:08:02.000 Self-government can be uncertain.

00:08:06.000 It requires responsibility.

00:08:09.000 The Bill of Rights sets explicit limits on government.

00:08:14.000 And Australia is going to have to answer the question at some point, and hopefully by an international intervention from the United States.

00:08:22.000 Either we are property or we are persons.

00:08:26.000 Progressives wanted to give you everything you need.

00:08:30.000 And this is what runs Australia and change you into who you are and who they think you should become. 0.74

00:08:37.000 If you value security over liberty, you will lose both.

00:08:44.000 Australia started with, let's slow the spread, but now that has morphed into a ridiculous zero COVID strategy.

00:08:54.000 And so just a handful of cases has now brought the entire country to a grinding halt.

00:09:01.000 Now, we're going to keep on going through what's happening here, and there are protests in Australia, but did you know most Australians are okay with this?

00:09:09.000 Most Australians don't want to be free. 0.98

00:09:12.000 I never want to hear again from people, Charlie, you know, most people want to be free.

00:09:15.000 No, they don't.

00:09:16.000 They want to be taken care of.

00:09:19.000 America is an exception.

00:09:21.000 America is an aberration.

00:09:23.000 The fact that we embrace this idea of self-government, of the rights of man, is so incredibly rare.

00:09:34.000 PlayCut 84, an Australian official says that for an individual to do the right thing, you could be fined up to $1,000 if you do the wrong thing, and a business can be fined up to $11,000 for not doing the wrong thing, which can be as simple as not providing a QR code.

00:09:49.000 PlayCut 84.

00:09:51.000 As was the case before Delta, there is a very obvious onus on the individual to make sure they do the right thing.

00:09:58.000 There are fines of $1,000 every time you do the wrong thing.

00:10:01.000 Businesses, there are fines from $5,000 all the way up to $11,000 and closure for a period of time if businesses flagrantly disregard the COVID safety plans.

00:10:11.000 And that might mean not even having displayed a QR code or not having done the basics.

00:10:16.000 Let there be no mistaking that we expect everybody to do the right thing.

00:10:23.000 Total and complete statist government control.

00:10:27.000 We're going to keep on playing tapes of how people are getting arrested in the streets of Australia for not wearing a mask outdoors.

00:10:35.000 We're going to play tape of how there are people within the Australian government talking about how this is just the very beginning of what they're planning to do in Australia.

00:10:45.000 In the Western world, in the Anglosphere, did you ever think in our time we would be living through the public and repeated destruction of Western values? 0.97

00:11:03.000 And before you say, oh, that will never happen here, Australia is a laboratory for tyranny.

00:11:11.000 Justice Louis Brandeis used to say that we have a laboratory of democracy.

00:11:18.000 Well, Australia is a laboratory for authoritarianism.

00:11:25.000 Hey, everybody, I want you to imagine over 100,000 Americans losing their jobs.

00:11:28.000 Well, you could stop imagining because it's reality, everybody.

00:11:31.000 Since 2015, over 100,000 independent farms and ranches in the United States have shut down.

00:11:36.000 Why?

00:11:37.000 Because foreign meat is stealing their business and robbing you of the quality and flavor you deserve. 1.00

00:11:41.000 China has destroyed the American economy through dumping products, and they've also waged war on American ranchers. 1.00

00:11:47.000 It's time to stick it to China, and that's what good ranchers do so well. 1.00

00:11:51.000 They exist to support local American farms that help you make great American meals.

00:11:55.000 Together, they want to restore the American ranch and your meals to the former glory.

00:11:59.000 Get the beef, chicken, and seafood that cannot be imported or matched at goodranchers.com.

00:12:05.000 Did you know that the product of USA TAG has been stolen by foreign countries?

00:12:09.000 They process their meat here and then label it like it came from America fraudulently because of these labeling laws that favor foreign imported meat.

00:12:16.000 Over 100,000 independent American farms and ranches have closed since 2015.

00:12:21.000 Good Ranchers is here to put America first at the dinner table and the ranchers that have worked to raise the meat we eat.

00:12:27.000 They send you a box.

00:12:29.000 Everyone listening to this needs to eat and feed their family.

00:12:32.000 And if you want to support our program, if you like the Charlie Kirk show, you can kill two birds, one stone.

00:12:56.000 It is a beautiful sight.

00:12:58.000 When the box of meats arrive at our office, our mouths are watering.

00:13:03.000 The children begin singing.

00:13:06.000 Everything just seems a little bit lighter and brighter.

00:13:10.000 In fact, the day gets better when the Good Ranchers box arrives because you know, with the beautiful Phoenix weather, you can watch some college football, throw a couple steaks on the grill, turn up the volume, and enjoy being an American because you're eating American meat, not Chinese meat, not Argentinian meat, not Vietnam meat, Vietnamese meat, not Iranian meat, not Egyptian meat, but instead American meat.

00:14:05.000 Cut 91.

00:14:06.000 Maskless Australian man surrounded by police and told he cannot stand around in public.

00:14:12.000 He is then arrested.

00:14:13.000 This is coming here to America very soon.

00:14:15.000 Cut 91.

00:14:20.000 I just want to know.

00:14:27.000 I'm not committing it.

00:14:33.000 You should probably tell me why before you have me.

00:14:36.000 When you do not have a citizenry or a country that is built on natural rights, this starts to happen.

00:14:44.000 And of course, the propagandist media and the New York Times and CNN, they're okay with this because deep down, they want this to happen here.

00:14:53.000 No coverage, no investigative journalism, no abuse of human rights.

00:14:57.000 Of course not.

00:14:58.000 Why would there be?

00:14:59.000 Because what disguises itself as liberalism is truly authoritarianism screaming to get out.

00:15:06.000 What starts as a complaint to give me rights?

00:15:09.000 Oh, we're going to liberalize society.

00:15:11.000 We're going to get people free.

00:15:12.000 It's a means to the end to pick up the gun on the table and say, I'm in charge.

00:15:12.000 No, it's not.

00:15:18.000 Australian man walking on the street, detained and threatened with arrest if he doesn't give his name and address and is searched under the Evidence Act, Cut 90.

00:15:26.000 Am I under arrest?

00:15:33.000 I'm not receiving.

00:15:34.000 I'm not going to search you under the Evidence Act.

00:15:36.000 Evidence Act?

00:15:37.000 What search is that?

00:15:39.000 Am I under arrest?

00:15:40.000 Yes or no?

00:15:42.000 You have my license.

00:15:44.000 You have my turn around.

00:15:44.000 Just turn around.

00:15:46.000 Cut 87, a new South Wales police officer, is now speaking out about a letter he wrote to the government about how people are more afraid of getting a fine than the virus, that the virus is not what they're being told it is, and health is about connecting and being outside, not isolation.

00:16:03.000 PlayCut 87.

00:16:04.000 People are more scared of getting a fine than they are of an alleged virus.

00:16:10.000 That was an evidence-based letter I wrote.

00:16:15.000 It shows that what we're enforcing was not justified.

00:16:20.000 COVID is not what we're being told it is.

00:16:23.000 On top of that, we were breaching laws.

00:16:26.000 COVID's not about health, it's about control.

00:16:28.000 It's everything other than health, you know.

00:16:31.000 Health's about you connecting.

00:16:34.000 It's about being outside.

00:16:35.000 It's about your interactions.

00:16:38.000 It's not about isolation.

00:16:41.000 Remember when we said that emergency powers will be not for the emergency, but it's an emergency to grant those powers and they will be there in perpetuity.

00:16:57.000 Nothing is as permanent as a temporary government program.

00:17:03.000 Thomas Jefferson famously said, I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.

00:17:08.000 I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude.

00:17:13.000 Most people don't.

00:17:16.000 This is a hard thing to say out loud.

00:17:18.000 We like to have this idea that human beings want to be free.

00:17:22.000 No, they don't.

00:17:24.000 If you do not have the proper education, the proper spiritual development, if you do not have people of strong character that are good soul, why would you want to be free?

00:17:35.000 We're going to keep on diving deep into Australia, but I'm going to tell you, this is popular in Australia.

00:17:43.000 According to recent polling, 80% of Australians support this.

00:17:49.000 They support the fact you can't leave your home, arresting people on the side of streets.

00:17:54.000 They support the mass vaccination campaign.

00:17:56.000 There are protests bubbling up.

00:17:59.000 But if we do not educate people and empower them as what it means to be a free, to live a free life in a free society, they're going to invite the Praetorian Guard to come take care of them.

00:18:12.000 Liberty is hard, everybody.

00:18:15.000 It requires responsibility.

00:18:17.000 It requires accountability first and foremost of yourself.

00:18:21.000 That is why if you do not embrace the true version of self-government oneself, you get what's happening in Australia.

00:18:31.000 When did we decide to stop upholding free speech as a basic right?

00:18:35.000 What's playing out right now at so many big tech companies and social media sites set a very dangerous precedent.

00:18:42.000 Look, it doesn't matter what your politics are or who you voted for.

00:18:46.000 Everyone should have the right to express themselves freely.

00:18:49.000 Sadly, the big tech oligarchs and their monopoly has instead opted for silencing people and censorship.

00:18:57.000 To fight back against big tech's control of the internet, I use ExpressVPN.

00:19:02.000 Ever wondered how free-to-access tech giants make all their money?

00:19:05.000 Well, by tracking your searches, they sell you.

00:19:08.000 They build a profile on you and they sell your sensitive data.

00:19:12.000 When you use ExpressVPN and their wonderful app on your computer or phone, you anonymize much of your online presence by hiding your IP address.

00:19:22.000 That makes your activity more difficult to trace and to sell to advertisers.

00:19:27.000 What's more is ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your network data to protect you from eavesdroppers and cyber criminals.

00:19:34.000 What I like most is how easy it is to use.

00:19:37.000 It takes just one click to protect all your devices.

00:19:40.000 That's why ExpressVPN is rated number one by CNET.

00:19:44.000 So let's stop allowing big tech to revoke our rights to free speech.

00:19:48.000 Why not revoke their right to your data instead?

00:19:51.000 Secure your internet with the VPN that I trust, the only VPN that I use.

00:20:14.000 Just so you know, Sydney has been in lockdown in Australia since June 26th and Melbourne since August 5th.

00:20:22.000 The capital territory of Conbera locked down on August 12th after one positive test stemming from Sydney emerged.

00:20:32.000 Here's just some fast facts on the whole thing.

00:20:34.000 We now have riot police firing rubber bullets into lockdown protesters.

00:20:39.000 Rescue dogs are being shot to prevent volunteers traveling to collect them.

00:20:44.000 Nighttime curfews have been implemented and one hour of exercise per day is allowed per citizen, one hour of exercise per day.

00:20:51.000 You're only allowed to travel five kilometers throughout Australia.

00:20:55.000 And the Australian Army patrolling suburbs to enforce lockdowns, including in Australia and in Sydney.

00:21:01.000 They literally have members of the army patrolling house by house to make sure lockdowns are being enforced.

00:21:08.000 Health bureaucrats advising the citizenry not to stop and talk to their neighbors while walking their dog.

00:21:15.000 Now, the death rate on the island of Australia stands at over, and again, this is important. 1.00

00:21:22.000 It's a continent, so it's not isolated, but it's completely isolated.

00:21:26.000 At just over 36 people per million in the United States versus 1,853 for the United States.

00:21:32.000 The borders are closed both to enter or to leave.

00:21:36.000 And those limited few who are permitted to come to Australia are forced to quarantine for 14 days.

00:21:43.000 But I just want to re-emphasize this.

00:21:44.000 A large majority of Australians seem to support this tough on COVID approach.

00:21:49.000 They think there's nothing wrong with military members walking through the neighborhoods enforcing lockdowns.

00:21:55.000 80% of Australians are vaccinated.

00:21:59.000 And several state elections over the time have seen incumbents comfortably re-elected on platforms of acting tough against COVID.

00:22:09.000 Make no mistake, the people that run our country would have loved to do the Australian model.

00:22:14.000 The reason they couldn't is because we still have some semblance of a freedom-loving people here and a constitution that would get in their way.

00:22:23.000 They would have loved to deploy the National Guard to make sure you didn't leave your home.

00:22:27.000 They would have loved to be able to fire rubber bullets in people during all this, all of the protests and backlash to this.

00:22:36.000 And the Health Praetorian Guard, which is Australia's version of Fauci, they are now saying that more lockdowns might be necessary.

00:22:51.000 Now, the laptop class is supportive of these lockdowns, obviously because they get to work from home.

00:22:57.000 But it's the muscular class that gets harmed the most in the midst of what's happening in Australia and across the country.

00:23:08.000 Clive Palmer, who's an Australian mining magnate and billionaire, claims that the Premier of Australia is lying to the people because she is under an inquiry and has a lobbyist from AstraZeneca and Pfizer pressuring her to push the vaccine so they can have everyone double jabbed.

00:23:29.000 PlayCut 86.

00:23:31.000 I'd say that Premier's lying to them.

00:23:33.000 I'd say that she's under an IPACPAC inquiry.

00:23:36.000 But a particular lobbyist in Sydney controls the Liberal Party in Sydney has told her that the only way she gets out of that inquiry is if she pushes the double jab, and his clients are Aska Zeneker, and his clients are Pfizer.

00:23:47.000 That's what I would say.

00:23:48.000 That she's being directed by a lobbyist in Sydney who's being paid by AskaZeneka and by Pfizer tens of millions of dollars to get these policies through to make sure the vaccine is pushed.

00:23:59.000 That's why.

00:24:00.000 And here's Cut 92 of a reporter who says Australia is about to be the first country to actively penalize people not to get the vaccine.

00:24:10.000 I want you to think about this.

00:24:12.000 Not to reward people, not to have lotteries, which we are always kind of very skeptical of, but to say we are going to make your life miserable if you do not take medicine that we tell you to take, that we are going to penalize you.

00:24:27.000 They are removing God-granted freedom.

00:24:30.000 You see, this really comes down to the question of natural rights.

00:24:33.000 Where do your rights come from?

00:24:36.000 If you believe your rights stem from the state, which leftists and Australians in government do, then of course they could just take whatever freedom you think you have because it was never given to you in the first place.

00:24:50.000 This idea of who is the sovereign is so critically important.

00:24:54.000 Australia has decided and they built a government around the idea that the people are not sovereign, that rights are not granted by God.

00:25:02.000 Instead, rights are granted by the state, by government, and you're lucky that they haven't taken away more freedom that they actually administered to you in the first place.

00:25:13.000 Play cut 92.

00:25:15.000 But now the Australian government have gone too far, and the world must not remain silent on it.

00:25:21.000 Australia looks set to become the first country in the world to actively penalize those who do not get a COVID vaccine.

00:25:28.000 The government knows it cannot force mandatory vaccination through in-law.

00:25:32.000 So their solution, create a two-tier society and use other laws and means to punish those who do not comply willingly.

00:25:40.000 As the great Kerry Parker, once Australia's richest person said to the House Select Committee, every time you pass a law, you take away someone's privileges.

00:25:48.000 The problem is they're no longer removing privileges, they're removing people's freedoms until they remove the average Australian's way of life completely.

00:25:58.000 It's amazing how illiterate so many Australians are about the erosion of freedom, of natural rights.

00:26:08.000 In America, especially in conservative circles, you just start talking about vaccine passports or show me your papers or COVID camps.

00:26:16.000 People get into action really quick because at least in conservative circles, we know our history.

00:26:21.000 We've studied it.

00:26:24.000 We talk about it.

00:26:25.000 Now, I've been extremely disappointed with how America has handled the virus lockdowns.

00:26:29.000 We never should have locked down.

00:26:31.000 Locking down was one of the worst mistakes ever done in American history, and it remains as such.

00:26:36.000 But thankfully, we got nowhere near Australia was.

00:26:41.000 And one of the reasons why these protests in Australia really have no teeth is because of this.

00:26:47.000 In 1996, after 35 people were killed in the Port Arthur massacre, the Australian government intervened and swiftly banned all pump action shotguns and semi-automatic rifles.

00:27:00.000 The University of Sydney said, quote, the proportion of Australians who hold a gun license has fallen by 48% since 1977.

00:27:08.000 And the proportion of Australian households with a firearm has fallen by 75% in recent decades.

00:27:15.000 Australian's own ambassador to America has admitted gun confiscation has no place in the United States.

00:27:23.000 And, quote, Australia and the United States are completely different situations.

00:27:28.000 And it goes back to each of our foundings.

00:27:31.000 America was born from a culture of self-defense.

00:27:35.000 Australia was born from a culture of the government will protect me.

00:27:38.000 Australia wasn't born as a result of a brutal war.

00:27:42.000 They were never invaded.

00:27:43.000 They were never attacked.

00:27:44.000 They were never occupied.

00:27:48.000 This makes an incredible difference even today.

00:27:50.000 That is Australian Ambassador to the United States, Joe Hockey.

00:27:56.000 And look, gun control worked.

00:27:58.000 It didn't work to lower crime, but it worked to give government the power that it needed and wanted, which is to create a subservient population. 0.86

00:28:09.000 And now Australians who dare to go outside or challenge the lockdowns are getting shot by non-lethal bullets because the guns are only on one side.

00:28:23.000 The government of Australia is also pursuing laws to check anyone's social media.

00:28:29.000 Now, Governor Ron DeSantis is beginning to speak out against this.

00:28:33.000 Governor Ron DeSantis is saying, wait a second, you have less freedom if you are living in Australia than in China.

00:28:42.000 Dennis Prager, who actually lived in the Soviet Union for some time, says there was more freedom in the Soviet Union than you can currently enjoy in Australia.

00:28:52.000 Play Cut 89.

00:28:54.000 You guys look what's going on in Australia right now.

00:28:57.000 You know, they're enforcing, after a year and a half, they're still enforcing lockdowns by the military.

00:29:06.000 And that's not a free country.

00:29:08.000 It's not a free country at all.

00:29:09.000 In fact, I mean, I wonder why we would still have the same diplomatic relations when they're doing that.

00:29:17.000 I mean, is Australia freer than China, communist China, right now?

00:29:21.000 I don't know.

00:29:22.000 The fact that that's even a question tells you something has gone dramatically off the rails.

00:29:29.000 They are not a free society.

00:29:30.000 They're not a free country.

00:29:31.000 But America's ruling class and the propagandists that run our media, they seem perfectly fine with it.

00:29:37.000 They seem perfectly fine with the limiting of freedom so dramatically that, and I'm going to reiterate this, nighttime curfews and one-hour exercise per day.

00:29:48.000 You're not allowed to travel more than five kilometers outside of your house.

00:29:51.000 The Australian Army is patrolling suburbs to enforce lockdowns, including in Australia, including Sydney.

00:29:57.000 And health bureaucrats are advising the citizenry to stop talking to your neighbors while walking their dog.

00:30:04.000 And just as a reminder, Biden actually has now increased our diplomatic relations with Australia.

00:30:10.000 You know what's so funny is that so many people that vote for Democrats and liberals think that they're voting for freedom.

00:30:17.000 They think that they're voting for the lack of government interference.

00:30:20.000 Little do they know, they're voting for the people that walk the streets with rubber bullets and tear gas and are willing to imprison you in your own home.

00:30:32.000 And it's been a very interesting learning lesson to see how the American press, they have no interest to actually liberate groups.

00:30:40.000 They instead want to create their own sentry guard, their own standing army that can enforce the needs, wants, and desires of their vision for America's ruling class.

00:30:58.000 Cut 101, Australians are being shot in the back as they're being running away from police.

00:31:02.000 Cut 101.

00:31:19.000 All because of a virus that has a 99.5% survival rate, as we now have increased treatments for that.

00:31:30.000 Despite that, we need to lock down the country, shoot people in the back, keep them in home, make sure they don't talk to people at their home at Walking Their Dogs because it's for their health.

00:31:43.000 The single-minded obsession that no one gets sick and die from the Chinese coronavirus is being paid for by not just a slowly unfolding mental health crisis, but social isolation and dislocation are taking their toll in terms of suicide, depression, substance abuse, and domestic violence.

00:32:03.000 I think some Australians are starting to wake up and massive protests are starting.

00:32:07.000 I sure hope so, because the polling that has been out there shows that 80% of Australians support this.

00:32:14.000 I really hope that's not the case.

00:32:17.000 Do you run a small business?

00:32:19.000 Are you on an elder board of a church?

00:32:21.000 Are you overseeing an organization that does a lot of credit card processing?

00:32:25.000 Well, if you run a conservative or faith-based nonprofit or business, listen very carefully to this.

00:32:31.000 Do not expose yourself to being shut off because of cancel culture.

00:32:35.000 JPMorgan Chase just canceled Lieutenant General Michael Flynn's credit cards because they didn't like his politics.

00:32:42.000 So on the Charlie Kirk show here, we use Cornerstone Payment Systems to provide uninterrupt credit card processing for the work we do here at the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:32:50.000 So maybe you run a small business and you need a credit card processor.

00:32:53.000 We trust Cornerstone for our processing, and I believe you will benefit from their solutions, their low cost, and most importantly, their commitment to safeguard your transactions.

00:33:03.000 Cornerstone provides all types of credit card solutions, including e-commerce, retail, donations, crowdfunding, and text to give.

00:33:10.000 Do not get canceled like Lieutenant General Michael Flynn.

00:33:12.000 Do not use Stripe.

00:33:16.000 Instead, please contact Cornerstone Payment Systems today and let them know you heard about them on my show.

00:33:22.000 You can reach Cornerstone at 714-912-2617.

00:33:34.000 Go to cornerstone.cc slash K-R-I-K.

00:33:38.000 That's cornerstone.cc slash K-R-I-K. 0.98

00:33:41.000 Do not use credit card processors that hate you and hate your values.

00:33:45.000 Cornerstone.cc slash Kirk.

00:33:48.000 Do it right now.

00:33:50.000 John Barrelard, the New South Wales Deputy Premier of Australia, says that people who don't get vaccinated by October 11th, you won't be able to leave your home.

00:34:02.000 You're going to lose your freedoms.

00:34:03.000 We're going to tell you when you can leave your home.

00:34:06.000 Play cut 81.

00:34:08.000 The message to the unvaccinated is that you will not achieve any further freedom unless you get vaccinated.

00:34:13.000 So there will be individuals in regional and rural New South Wales who choose not to be vaccinated who will lose their freedoms on the 11th of October.

00:34:20.000 So my message to everybody in regional and rural New South Wales is to continue to get vaccinated.

00:34:26.000 But despite this, he announced on Tuesday that in Victoria, 78% of all the hospitalizations are vaccinated people and only 17% are partially vaccinated.

00:34:39.000 Well, as we played earlier, is the Australian government being paid off by the pharmaceutical companies?

00:34:44.000 Is AstraZeneca and Pfizer and Moderna bribing the leaders of the free world and the Anglosphere to try to push forward a vaccine that has questionable outputs, at least in Australia?

00:34:55.000 PlayCut 80.

00:34:57.000 Of the people who were in hospital yesterday, 78% were vaccinated and 17 were partially vaccinated.

00:35:08.000 Wait, so how's the mass vaccination campaign working out for them?

00:35:12.000 What does success look like in Australia?

00:35:14.000 Meanwhile, a third world province of a third world country, Uttar Pradesh, they have gotten closer to COVID zero than any other example that I've been able to find by healthy doses of administering ivermectin, azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine, and anti-malarial treatment.

00:35:34.000 Cut 79 Australian official on Wednesday announces the deaths of seven people in Australia.

00:35:39.000 All had underlying health conditions, but guess what?

00:35:41.000 Six of seven of them had one shot of the vaccine.

00:35:44.000 Cut 79.

00:35:45.000 Today we announced the deaths of seven people who have lost their lives to COVID-19.

00:35:51.000 All of those individuals had underlying health conditions.

00:35:57.000 One person was not vaccinated.

00:35:59.000 Three people had received one dose of a COVID vaccine.

00:36:03.000 And three people had received two doses of a COVID vaccine.

00:36:08.000 So they've received the vaccine, and six out of seven of them died.

00:36:14.000 Australia is a test case.

00:36:18.000 And the fact that even some conservative media is ignoring what's happening in Australia is very telling.

00:36:26.000 People cannot leave their homes.

00:36:27.000 They can't walk their dogs.

00:36:28.000 They cannot, let alone travel five kilometers outside of their home.

00:36:35.000 What is a free society?

00:36:37.000 A free society requires you to be alert, to be aware, to be active.

00:36:42.000 Australia is a path. 0.99

00:36:44.000 They are a passive people.

00:36:46.000 They do not understand the history of what liberty is, that liberty is not man's idea, it's God's idea.

00:36:53.000 They don't understand that it takes people to be in a position to hold leaders accountable, to question, to pursue truth, to engage in dialogue, to be skeptical of things that tyrants tell you.

00:37:06.000 We as Americans must be the leaders in this regard.

00:37:09.000 Now, we've handled the virus horribly as a country in the last year and a half.

00:37:15.000 Never should have locked down the country, should have been focused on treatments, natural immunity, and all that.

00:37:20.000 But I'm proud to say we've handled it better than Australia. 1.00

00:37:24.000 54% of Australians no longer support complete suppression of the virus, finally believing it's not possible.

00:37:30.000 While 62% of Australians say the whole opening plan is basically to be like Israel, and Israel is a disaster after their fourth booster shot. 0.68

00:37:42.000 You want to remain free or whatever limited freedoms we have left?

00:37:46.000 Learn from Australia. 0.69

00:37:48.000 First of all, they disarm the citizenry, which makes the protest completely null and void.

00:37:53.000 Only one side has the guns.

00:37:55.000 Things get too heated.

00:37:56.000 We know who's going to win.

00:37:58.000 But freedom only continues when the people demand it.

00:38:03.000 As Russell Kirk said, politicians are reading off the script provided to them by the people, by the citizens, by the co-rulers, by the sovereign.

00:38:14.000 Australia has turned in to a medical apartheid COVID caste system bio-terror state. 0.83

00:38:22.000 They should be boycotted, divested, and sanctioned for doing such actions.

00:38:27.000 But I'm afraid that just how the Chinese coronavirus traveled from Wuhan to America, the tyranny variant, which has been born out of Australia, is going to be hitting our shores very soon. 0.99
