00:01:09.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:01:10.000 Action pack episode.
00:01:11.000 Here we go.
00:01:12.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:14.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:16.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:20.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:23.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:24.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:25.000 His 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.
00:01:33.000 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.
00:01:42.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:45.000 Sweet Home Chicago, not so much.
00:01:48.000 As many of you know, I consider Chicago to be my hometown city.
00:01:52.000 Grew up in the suburbs of Chicago.
00:01:54.000 Big Cubs fan, and I'm proud to be from Chicago.
00:01:58.000 But it's really interesting how Black Lives Matter, and I think we should call Black Lives Matter BLM, not Black Lives Matter, just to make it very clear that we are critiquing the organization, not the statement.
00:02:09.000 So it seems that a lot of people get awfully confused when I say I am not a fan of the Black Lives Matter organization.
00:02:16.000 They say, how could you dare believe that?
00:02:18.000 So I just say BLM.
00:02:19.000 But BLM has been really quiet over what's happening in Chicago.
00:02:24.000 More than 60 people were shot this last weekend, 16 fatally, in Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Chicago, Illinois.
00:02:35.000 Over the course of 12 hours alone, in fact, 20 people were shot and seven died, including a one-year-old boy.
00:02:42.000 Just for the month of June, 83 people were shot and killed, most of whom were black people shot by other black people.
00:02:50.000 450 people were shot and wounded with 533 total shot and 87 total homicides.
00:02:57.000 That brings the 2020 year-to-date tally to 305 people shot and killed, 1,394 people shot and wounded, 1,699 total shot, and 332 total homicides.
00:03:12.000 This last weekend, two teenage boys in Chicago were shot to death after asking a man how tall he was while buying candy.
00:03:20.000 Now, I saw this article.
00:03:21.000 It's a Good Morning America article.
00:03:23.000 But interestingly enough, it says two teenage boys shot to death.
00:03:27.000 And I read the article, and you have to go down about the seventh or eighth paragraph before they reveal that it was a black boy shot by a black person.
00:03:35.000 Now, again, I don't like the hyper-fixation or the hyper-racialization of happening in America.
00:03:39.000 I think this is a way that all articles should be written.
00:03:42.000 However, with that being said, why is it when a white individual happens to kill a black individual, that's immediately in the headline.
00:03:51.000 So Joshawn Francis, 17 years old, was shot in the back, chest, and left hand.
00:03:56.000 And Charles Riley, who was 16 years old, Jeshawn was 17 years old, was shot in the back and the left leg.
00:04:01.000 There was a third teen who was not identified managed to escape the gunfire.
00:04:05.000 Both of the boys were taken to the University of Chicago Hospital and later died from the injuries.
00:04:09.000 And the individual who did this was a black man, Leroy Battle, who killed two innocent people just in a convenience store.
00:04:16.000 And yet BLM has said nothing about this incident.
00:04:20.000 Just as of today in Chicago, a person is shot every two hours and 33 minutes and a person shot and killed every 13 hours and five minutes.
00:04:27.000 This is all from the Chicago Tribune shooting tracker, which if your city has a dedicated shooting tracker, something's probably not right.
00:04:35.000 The weekend before last, over Father's Day, it was a record bloodbath with 14 people killed and 95 shot.
00:04:42.000 Now, keep in mind, this is one of the most gun-controlled cities in America and has always been run by Democrats since basically Chicago's not had a Republican mayor since 1931, 89 years ago.
00:04:52.000 And Chicago's not alone either in being one of the most crime-ridden, dangerous cities in America.
00:04:57.000 And nearly all of them have one thing in common.
00:05:00.000 They are all run by Democrats.
00:05:02.000 And just to give you a taste of how craven and pathetic the mainstream activist media has become, I want to tell you about this ridiculous Washington Post headline from over the weekend.
00:05:11.000 So they write they're trying to refute Trump's claim that 20 out of 20 of America's most dangerous cities are run by Democrats.
00:05:19.000 So they write this headline.
00:05:20.000 Trump keeps claiming that most of the dangerous cities in America are all run by Democrats.
00:05:24.000 They aren't.
00:05:24.000 That's the headline.
00:05:25.000 That's the shot.
00:05:27.000 But here's the chaser.
00:05:28.000 If you look at every single city in America, there's only one that is not controlled by Democrats, Jacksonville, Florida.
00:05:36.000 That's right.
00:05:36.000 New York, L.A., Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, Memphis, Detroit, Dallas, Phoenix, Baltimore, San Antonio, Vegas, Milwaukee, Nashville, Charlotte, Albuquerque, then Jacksonville, St. Louis, San Francisco, Cleveland.
00:05:46.000 Okay, so it's 19 out of 20.
00:05:47.000 Sorry, you got Jacksonville.
00:05:49.000 And they're saying, oh, Trump, Trump's misleading people.
00:05:51.000 You know how many people share links without reading the article just because the Washington Post says it is true?
00:05:57.000 But really, these numbers are so staggering, and these violent cities are overwhelmingly run by Democrats.
00:06:03.000 There has not been a Republican mayor of Atlanta since the 1800s.
00:06:08.000 Chicago isn't alone in suffering throughout this chaos that has entrapped America in recent months.
00:06:13.000 I want to read you a text from a friend of mine who is in the Chicago Police Department.
00:06:18.000 I'm not going to say his name, but he is a detective in the Chicago Police Department.
00:06:21.000 He says this, quote, previously released for aggravated weapons possession, this individual criminal was given probation by Kim Fox, who's the head of the Chicago prosecutor's office, and her policies, now he just murdered two teens.
00:06:39.000 The detective continues by saying, Kim Fox's prosecutorial policies and the chief judge of Cook County criminal courts are to blame for this death.
00:06:47.000 So the person who killed those two individuals, those two teenagers that we just talked about, Leroy Battle, was given leniency by Kim Fox, and then two black people are killed in Chicago.
00:06:59.000 Incredible.
00:07:00.000 Now, in New York City, which is run by the total failure Bill de Blasio, 112 people have been injured or killed in 83 different shootings just over the past nine days.
00:07:11.000 And this is totally going against Republican Mayor Giuliani's policies and former Republican Mike Bloomberg's policies.

00:08:26.000 Here's a story I have to bring to your attention because it perfectly illustrates what I've always said about leftists: they're power-hungry hypocrites.
00:08:34.000 Here's the proof: The city of Minneapolis is spending $4,500 a day for private security for three council members who have received threats following the police killing of George Floyd.
00:08:46.000 A city spokesperson said the private security details have cost taxpayers $63,000 over the past three weeks.
00:08:55.000 This comes a week after they approved a 100% defunding of the Minneapolis Police Department.
00:09:01.000 So basically, it's, yeah, I can get protected, but not for you, citizen plebes.
00:09:06.000 This is the typical leftist ruling class mentality that dominates the American left.
00:09:11.000 They claim to care about people.
00:09:13.000 And when they defund people's protection and force them to pay for their private protection of the elites, it is so disgraceful and disgusting.
00:09:23.000 They should be called out and hopefully removed from office.
00:09:26.000 And here's another instance of Democrats totally abusing their power.
00:09:29.000 Four New Jersey Democrats were charged with mail-in voter fraud.
00:09:34.000 Late last week, New Jersey Attorney General Gabir Grinnell, I'm reading from Breitbart.com for parts of this, by the way, terrific article, terrific website, announced election fraud charges against Patterson City Councilman Michael Jackson, Democrat, and councilman-elect Alex Mendez, Democrat, as well as Shalim Khalik, the brother of another New Jersey city councilman, Shanin Khalik, and Abu Rezan, who is linked to Khalik's re-election campaign.
00:10:01.000 The charge alleges that Jackson violated state election laws when he collected mail and ballots from voters in recent city council elections and delivered them to the Passayk County Board of Elections.
00:10:12.000 I might be mispronouncing it, might be Pasiak.
00:10:14.000 Anyway, Jackson, according to the records, did not identify who he was when he dropped off the ballots and, in one case, took an unsealed ballot that has not been filled out and delivered it to the Board of Elections.
00:10:24.000 The charges also claim that councilman-elect Mendez delivered mail and ballots that he knew were fraudulent and that they were filled out by an ineligible voter.
00:10:32.000 Yet Democrats say we're supposed to trust the mail-in voting process.
00:10:37.000 In fact, there was a video this weekend that I tweeted out of post office workers throwing away Republican mailers just because they didn't like them, threw them away in the trash.
00:10:47.000 And we're just supposed to hand over our elections carte blanche to these very same Democrats who deny truth, who deny data, and deny the very existence of deep-rooted fraud and abuse?
00:10:57.000 I don't think so.
00:10:58.000 And listen to this unbelievably astounding piece of data out of Wisconsin.
00:11:02.000 Get this.
00:11:03.000 In Wisconsin, April's election, only 52 of more than 400,000 voters and poll workers were confirmed to have contracted the Chinese coronavirus.
00:11:16.000 None of those cases were fatal.
00:11:18.000 This equals an infection rate below two one-hundredths of 1%.
00:11:23.000 There is no public health justification to let Democrats overtake our country and our Democratic means of electing leaders in our constitutional republic.
00:11:33.000 Here's another story that's absolutely blowing up over the weekend as the rioting continues across America.
00:11:39.000 I love this.
00:11:40.000 If you guys have not seen this video, you have to check it out because I feel like he's all of us.
00:11:45.000 This guy, Mark McCluskey, and his wife, Patricia McCluskey, they were recorded and they've gone totally viral over the weekend for doing what the media says is unthinkable.
00:11:55.000 And what is that, you may ask?
00:11:57.000 Well, they had the audacity to stand in front of their home and defend it from incoming rioters that were storming through their neighborhood, trespassing on private property.
00:12:07.000 I mean, who can blame them, by the way?
00:12:09.000 And by the way, the media then says, white individuals point guns at protesters.
00:12:14.000 I mean, it's so dishonest.
00:12:15.000 What we've now seen are roving gangs of thugs and vigilantes can do whatever they want to private property, whether they're looting it, burning it, or surrounding it, tearing it down or terrorizing it.
00:12:27.000 It's no wonder that these homeowners exercise their Second Amendment rights to defend their property.
00:12:32.000 And this is CBS specifically, who came out and said that white couple aims guns at protesters.
00:12:39.000 And so, look, Democrats, they can't have it both ways.
00:12:42.000 They can't be outraged that people take it upon themselves to defend themselves if you also defund their police protection.
00:12:49.000 And you read this article, it says white couple aims guns at St. Louis protesters.
00:12:53.000 And basically, here's how it should be: Angry mob trespasses onto private property that's not theirs. 0.71
00:12:59.000 American couple legally defends themselves using constitutionally protected right.
00:13:03.000 Angry mob leaves and learns a valuable lesson.
00:13:05.000 Their color has nothing to do with anything.
00:13:07.000 Isn't it interesting going back to what I opened the show with, where you have a black criminal that kills two black innocent teenagers?
00:13:14.000 And what is Good Morning America says, two teenage boys shot to death.
00:13:18.000 And there's no color at all used in the coverage of the story.
00:13:21.000 Yet someone tries to protect their property legally and no shots are fired and says white couple aims guns at St. Louis protesters.
00:13:29.000 It's race baiting.
00:13:29.000 It's like the media wants a race war in our country.
00:13:33.000 I said this.
00:13:34.000 I said, I tweeted out and it's gone very viral.
00:13:37.000 Isn't it amazing how the media had no issue with the armed terrorists outside of CHOP, which is the Capitol Hill operating protest or whatever, operational protest or autonomous zone, whatever, but are outraged over two law-abiding citizens arming themselves to defend their home.
00:13:53.000 Remember, if the left did not have double standards, they would have no standards at all.
00:14:01.000 What's the number one sign of a bad home security system?
00:14:04.000 A home security system that's so complicated, you never use it.
00:14:07.000 This is exactly the type of security system that SimplySafe has spent a decade fighting against.
00:14:12.000 They believe that simple is safer, and it's exactly why SimplySafe is the home security for right now when feeling safe at home has ever been more important.

00:15:15.000 Make sure they know that our show sent you.
00:15:19.000 And you probably also saw the news.
00:15:21.000 My goodness.
00:15:22.000 One of the last pieces of hope I had for our country was our court system.
00:15:26.000 I thought that we could have fair and impartial judges.
00:15:29.000 I thought that the Supreme Court would really come and stand for truth and rule fairly and without a leftist radical agenda.
00:15:41.000 I thought the recent additions of Kavanaugh and Gorsuch were welcome additions to the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:15:47.000 Let me give you just an update on how everyone's doing on the Supreme Court.
00:15:49.000 Let me kind of rank them for you, if you will.
00:15:52.000 Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh get A-pluses.
00:15:57.000 They've been terrific.
00:15:59.000 Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, they have ruled brilliantly in this session.
00:16:04.000 Phenomenal.
00:16:05.000 Neil Gorsuch gets a C. Neil Gorsuch ruled improperly and incorrectly, and I believe unconstitutionally recently.
00:16:13.000 It's been one of his only poor rulings.
00:16:16.000 So he gets a C. Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, and John Roberts get an F.
00:16:25.000 This is from the Associated Press.
00:16:27.000 The Supreme Court on Monday struck down a Louisiana law regulating abortion clinics, reasserting a commitment to abortion rights over fierce opposition from dissenting conservative justices in their first big abortion case of the Trump era.
00:16:42.000 John Roberts, who just seems he is so committed to making sure he appeases the anti-American, fundamentalist, anti-Western individuals on the Supreme Court of Ginsburg, Sodomayor, Breyer, and Kagan.
00:16:58.000 He helped strike down this pro-life law.
00:17:01.000 In the majority opinion for June Medical Services versus Russo, Justice Stephen Breyer, who's awful, wrote Louisiana's law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals to facilitate the continuity of care in the event of emergencies, has, quote, nothing to do with the state's asserted interest in promoting women's health and safety.
00:17:23.000 So they're not interpreting the law.
00:17:25.000 They're not actually doing what the Supreme Court's supposed to do, which is supposed to be a fair and impartial mediator of conflicts when it comes to the interpretation of law.
00:17:37.000 They're making their own law.
00:17:39.000 The National Institute of Family and Life advocates, President Thomas Glessner, also said in a statement, quote, women seeking abortions have the same right to competent and quality care as patients involved in other surgical procedures.
00:17:53.000 Continues, this ruling allows the loophole enjoyed by abortionists to remain open at the expense of the women at the abortion industry who they claim to serve.
00:18:05.000 All states, including Louisiana, have an interest in regulating abortion and a duty to protect women, he said.
00:18:10.000 Unfortunately, today's Supreme Court decision denies this critical principle.
00:18:15.000 And mind you, the law that the court just struck down was not some Republican attempt to restrict abortion by any means.
00:18:22.000 It was written by a black Democrat out of Louisiana.
00:18:27.000 Are they racist?
00:18:28.000 Is the Supreme Court now racist?
00:18:30.000 Of course, the media will not take up that narrative because the media wants the abortion industry to remain as is.
00:18:37.000 The media wants a million abortions a year.
00:18:39.000 The media is invested in having the continuing termination of innocent lives in the womb to continue. 0.90
00:18:47.000 State Senator Katrina Jackson responded very powerfully to the Supreme Court's ruling.
00:18:53.000 This is something you got to hear.
00:18:54.000 Play tape.
00:18:55.000 I'm Louisiana State Senator Katrina Jackson.
00:18:59.000 I am disappointed that today's Supreme Court decision strikes down Louisiana common sense law that I authored to protect women injured in abortion facilities.
00:19:10.000 I am proud to be a pro-life Democrat.
00:19:12.000 I am proud that this law received overwhelming support by both women and men, Democrats and Republicans, black legislators, and white legislators.
00:19:22.000 Once again, unelected justices have substituted their policy preferences over the clear will of the people of my great state.
00:19:30.000 As long as the Supreme Court continues to meddle in an area that rightfully belongs in the democratic process, women will remain subject to substandard abortion facilities.
00:19:41.000 But know that together with my colleagues, we will continue to pursue policies that both protect the health and safety of women and the lives of the unborn children.
00:19:52.000 After we take a closer look at the decision, we will issue a more in-depth commentary.
00:19:57.000 Thank you.
00:19:58.000 And let's all continue to pray for life.
00:20:01.000 Here's just a little 101 on abortion.
00:20:04.000 People say it's my body, my choice.
00:20:07.000 If it was your body, your choice, why does that something that you're disposing of have different DNA?
00:20:14.000 If it's not your DNA, maybe it's not your choice.
00:20:20.000 Abortion stops a beating heart.
00:20:22.000 That unique form of DNA made in God's image will never happen again.
00:20:28.000 When you terminate a life in the womb, you are terminating beauty made in the image of God.
00:20:34.000 Do you know that if you see a black woman in New York City, it's more likely she's going to the abortion clinic than to the delivery room.
00:20:41.000 The abortion rate is higher in the black community than the birth rate in the black community in New York City in particular.
00:20:48.000 There are over 400,000 abortions a year in the black community.
00:20:53.000 Do you know how many abortions a day?
00:20:54.000 There are in America 3,000 abortions a day.
00:20:58.000 Do you want to hear a provocative thought experiment?
00:21:01.000 Maybe we would not have to have the overly generous immigration policies that we have, of which I do not support, if we did not terminate 1 million human beings in the womb every single year.
00:21:13.000 Maybe all of a sudden we wouldn't have these issues like, oh, we don't have enough workers, which is just not true, by the way.
00:21:17.000 The data does not reflect that.
00:21:20.000 Imagine how many lives and dreams and futures just disappeared because of this reckless abortion policy that we continue.
00:21:30.000 And people say, well, it's the woman's choice. 0.99
00:21:32.000 Well, it's not her body. 1.00
00:21:33.000 It's not her choice.
00:21:35.000 She is the host of the human being, but it's a separate human being.
00:21:40.000 Just because that human being happens to be inside of you does not mean you have all the jurisdiction of the rights to be able to terminate that human being's life from existing.
00:21:50.000 The Republicans generally have totally turned their back on the fight for life.
00:21:57.000 This is such a cut and dry issue.
00:21:59.000 Either you stand for the lives of the unborn and the people that cannot defend themselves, or you stand on the side of the abortion industry and the abortion lobby that's currently pushing forward 1 million abortions a year.
00:22:13.000 Here's a great question that you should ask the abortion advocates in your life and ask so calmly and compassionately.
00:22:19.000 When does life begin?
00:22:21.000 I have a very viral video that I've put on my Instagram that has been shared tens of thousands of times.
00:22:30.000 But when you ask the question, so hey, when does life begin?
00:22:35.000 They kind of muddle around the abortion advocates and they say, well, maybe life begins at birth.
00:22:39.000 Okay.
00:22:40.000 So you're okay with abortion up to birth?
00:22:42.000 Oh, no, I think that's a little bit too extreme.
00:22:44.000 Okay, then when does life begin?
00:22:45.000 And they might say seven weeks.
00:22:46.000 Well, why not six weeks?
00:22:47.000 What happens at seven that's not exist?
00:22:49.000 I six.
00:22:50.000 Some people say, well, life begins with a heartbeat.
00:22:53.000 Say, okay, well, was the DNA not formed before the heartbeat?
00:22:56.000 Well, life begins at self-sufficiency.
00:23:00.000 If you can't take care of yourself, then you're not a human being.
00:23:02.000 Well, then she would just unplug every single person who's comatose that has the aid of a ventilator or has the aid of a machine feeding them currently?
00:23:11.000 The answer is, of course not.
00:23:13.000 See, we have a very specific answer, those of us in the pro-life community.
00:23:17.000 Life begins at conception.
00:23:20.000 Life begins at that magic moment when something new is created, where you have two pre-existing opposite entities and a new life is created.
00:23:29.000 It's magical.
00:23:29.000 It's miraculous.
00:23:31.000 And yet we have 60 million abortions in our country.
00:23:34.000 Abortion factories, by the way, we have the most extreme abortion laws in the entire world.
00:23:39.000 And it's a total misinterpretation and a total misunderstanding of Roe versus Wade in a variety of different ways.
00:23:46.000 Roe versus Wade was one of the most destructive decisions to the fabric of America in the history of our country.
00:23:54.000 And we did not even have the science that we have today when they made that decision.
00:23:58.000 In fact, there are a lot of questions around when life begins and abortion in general when that decision was made so many decades ago.
00:24:09.000 And so there's a lot of misinformation that goes around about the abortion issue.
00:24:13.000 Why John Roberts goes out of his way to try to pander to the most radical leftist elements of American society is beyond me.
00:24:23.000 But I think that there is a need for conservatives to stand for truth, especially on this issue now more than ever.
00:24:30.000 Because it seems like we've just kind of surrendered this issue.
00:24:34.000 And John Roberts, by the way, was appointed by a Republican president.
00:24:39.000 John Roberts was appointed by George W. Bush.
00:24:45.000 John Roberts, who ruled incorrectly on Obamacare, who ruled incorrectly recently on the LGBT decision, just repeatedly sides with the activist left.
00:25:02.000 We need more wartime conservatives.
00:25:05.000 We need people who recognize that we are in fact in a culture war with the American left, that this is no longer just a policy debate.
00:25:14.000 This is something much more intimate, much more real than just, oh, high taxes, low taxes.
00:25:22.000 We can go along to get along.
00:25:24.000 We are dealing with sinister, destructive, malevolent voices that do not want what's best for the United States of America.
00:25:35.000 Wartime conservatism must come back.
00:25:37.000 And we can learn a lot from the great Winston Churchill on what it means to be a wartime conservative, not someone who just wants to appease the other side.
00:25:46.000 And it's a sad day in America when we are supposed to have a 5-4 conservative majority on the Supreme Court because this will now do nothing to stop the 1 million abortions that are happening in America every single year.
00:25:58.000 And one more point on that.
00:26:00.000 Ask your friends, do you want more or less abortions?
00:26:03.000 Do you think 1 million is a good number, something we should be proud of?
00:26:06.000 See, the left used to argue for less abortions.
00:26:09.000 Now they argue for more abortions.
00:26:11.000 So does BLM.
00:26:12.000 It's one of the greatest moral injustices our country has ever allowed to happen.
00:26:18.000 And now we have a Republican-appointed Supreme Court justice that sides with the activist left and leaves the rest of America behind.
00:26:26.000 So there's a lot of hysteria going on right now around the surge in the Chinese coronavirus.
00:26:33.000 People are saying it's time to lock down America again.
00:26:35.000 So first of all, I just want to make it very clear.
00:26:37.000 I could not be more opposed to locking down America again.
00:26:40.000 It would be one of the worst, most destructive, most disastrous decisions America could possibly make.
00:26:45.000 Locking down our country, the way we did it, resulted in serious damage to the fabric of America.
00:26:52.000 Increase in alcoholism, depression, drug usage, mental health issues, you name it.
00:26:56.000 Locking down was a huge mistake, not to mention the people who lost their jobs, lost their way of life, had so many things that they were counting on to be canceled immediately.
00:27:06.000 So first of all, this is one of the John Hopkins charts that people say is coronavirus cases in the United States have not fallen as much as they have in the European Union.
00:27:18.000 It says the seven-day rolling average of new coronavirus cases between March 1st and June 21st.
00:27:23.000 And it shows a big upward tick in just the last couple of weeks.
00:27:26.000 So what's going on here?
00:27:27.000 The answer lies in this, positive tests versus actual disease.
00:27:33.000 Mind you, the increase in positive tests are due to increased tests and lax testing.
00:27:39.000 So, first of all, if you go into a health clinic for anything right now, anything in the hospital, I've talked to many doctors and many people that run hospitals, they have told me this repeatedly, dozens of people, and it's been reported on, but not by the media.
00:27:51.000 They've ignored it.
00:27:52.000 That if you go in for anything, you are tested for the Chinese coronavirus.
00:27:56.000 America leads the world in testing.
00:27:58.000 We have over 30 million people that have been tested.
00:28:01.000 But this is a good thing.
00:28:03.000 More tests have actually decreased the mortality rate.
00:28:06.000 So the media should be celebrating that the mortality rate is going down.
00:28:10.000 The current CDC mortality rate, according to the great Dr. Keith Rose, who we'll have back on the podcast soon, I encourage you to go back in the archives and listen to our very long conversation with him alongside Aaron Ginn.
00:28:22.000 This is according to cdc.gov slash coronavirus slash 2019, and I'll post that on our website.
00:28:28.000 For the overall mortality rate is 0.004.
00:28:33.000 65 years and older, 0.013. 50 to 64 years, 0.002. 0 to 49 years, 0.0005.
00:28:45.000 So who is exploiting the rise in these rates despite the mortality rate being unbelievably low? 0.98
00:28:52.000 How about Hillary Clinton? 1.00
00:28:54.000 That's who. 1.00
00:28:54.000 She hasn't lied or demagogued enough recently, so she's trying to contribute into the conversation. 1.00
00:28:59.000 She's an unbelievably disgusting person, so why not try to fear-monger Hillary? 1.00
00:29:04.000 You're so good at it. 1.00
00:29:05.000 Democrats continue to try to exploit this pandemic and the Americans who are suffering from this virus to score cheap, really, really cheap political points.
00:29:14.000 Hillary Clinton tweeted out, quote, great again, as the United States has an increase in cases only because we have an increase in testing.
00:29:23.000 This article, which is actually a letter to the editor at the Orlando Sentinel from a local doctor, is terrific.
00:29:29.000 It's from Dr. John T. Little.
00:29:32.000 Here's the letter to the editor.
00:29:33.000 Why increasing the number of cases of COVID-19 is not bad news.
00:29:38.000 Here's a few excerpts that I think you'll really benefit you.
00:29:41.000 The case definition, which is established for all these diseases by the CDC, requires the presence of signs and symptoms of that disease.
00:29:49.000 In other words, each case involved a sick patient.
00:29:53.000 Laboratory studies may be performed that confirm a diagnosis, but are not sufficient in the absence of clinical symptoms.
00:30:00.000 Wow.
00:30:01.000 So in essence, any person that has influenza or illness like that, ILI, could be considered a case of COVID-19, even without confirmatory lab testing.
00:30:12.000 The CDC has even advised to consider any deaths from pneumonia or ILI as COVID-related deaths, unless a physician or medical examiner establishes another infectious agent as the cause of illness.
00:30:24.000 Now, before I continue, let's just play tape from Dr. Burks, who said at a press conference a couple months ago that it is the position for us to take a more liberal approach in how we categorize COVID-19 cases, play tape.
00:30:36.000 So I think in this country, we've taken a very liberal approach to mortality.
00:30:42.000 And I think the reporting here has been pretty straightforward over the last five to six weeks.
00:30:49.000 Prior to that, when there wasn't testing in January and February, that's a very different situation and unknown.
00:30:59.000 There are other countries that if you had a pre-existing condition.
00:31:03.000 And let's say the virus called you to go to the ICU and then have a heart or kidney problem.
00:31:10.000 Some countries are recording that as a heart issue or a kidney issue and not a COVID-19 death.
00:31:19.000 Right now, we're still recording it.
00:31:22.000 And we all, I mean, the great thing about having forms that come in and a form that has the ability to market as COVID-19 infection, the intent is right now that those, if someone dies with COVID-19, we are counting that as a COVID-19 death.
00:31:40.000 Now, maybe you can see why the increased number of cases and even deaths due to COVID-19 is fraught with misinterpretation and is not in any way a max measure of actual morbidity or mortality.
00:31:51.000 from COVID-19.
00:31:53.000 Why did we as a society stop sending our kids to school in camps and other sports and activities?
00:31:58.000 Why did we stop going to work in church in public parks and beaches?
00:32:01.000 Why did we insist that healthy people should stay at home rather than observing the evidence-based medically prudent method of identifying those who were sick and isolating them from the rest of the population, advising the sick to stay at home and allowing the rest of society to function normally.
00:32:15.000 And while we witnessed the gatherings of protesters in recent days, by the way, the LGBT groups had massive protests.
00:32:21.000 I guess this virus is so woke.
00:32:23.000 If you're protesting George Floyd or LGBT issues, you can't get the virus.
00:32:27.000 It's unbelievable how we tolerate this, how we are not pushing back more aggressively, is unacceptable to me.
00:32:34.000 Fear is a very powerful weapon.
00:32:36.000 Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously broadcast to Americans in 1933, said, we have nothing to fear but fear itself, play tape.
00:32:43.000 Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
00:32:53.000 Nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror.
00:32:57.000 I would argue that we actually have to fear those who try to make us afraid and make us surrender basic freedoms without justification.
00:33:07.000 If you look at the data, deaths are actually going down in Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California.
00:33:15.000 And even the COVID-19, the Chinese coronavirus-related deaths is a very questionable figure to look at in general.
00:33:26.000 And maybe Arizona has ticked up slightly, depending on which metric or which, let's say, tool you use.
00:33:34.000 But Florida, Texas, and California have gone down over the last month and a half.
00:33:39.000 And it depends on which time period you are referencing and how you actually categorize the deaths and how long we have had the disease or the virus in our country.
00:33:50.000 Because our starting point was so lackluster because our testing was so questionable.

00:34:48.000 So in other censorship news, the CEO of Reddit, and if you don't know what Reddit.com is, it's kind of a free form part of the internet that is supposed to be against censorship.
00:34:58.000 But Steve Huffman, the CEO of Reddit, announced in a post today that R the Donald, which is hilarious.
00:35:03.000 I've gone to R the Donald for years, something that pushes the boundaries of creativity.
00:35:07.000 And I just think it's more than anything else, just a creative place for people that love the president to be able to try out new ideas.
00:35:17.000 And Reddit has banned Artha Donald indefinitely.
00:35:21.000 790,000 subscribers has been shuttered for frequent rule breaking, antagonizing the company and other communities for failing to, quote, meet our basic expectations.
00:35:32.000 The rationale is this, is somehow saying that whites are in the majority.
00:35:38.000 I kid you not.
00:35:39.000 There was a tweet that explained this.
00:35:40.000 Reddit rules explicitly let you promote hate against whites since they are the majority.
00:35:46.000 But whites, by the way, are only 12% of the global population, interestingly enough.
00:35:52.000 This comes as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Friday that the company is expanding its policies against calls to incite violence and voter suppression and may add labels to some posts calling them offending from political leaders such as Trump that may run afoul of its rules.
00:36:08.000 And just breaking as of this recording, Twitch, which is a streaming platform owned by Jeff Bezos, who also owns the Washington Post, has temporarily banned President Trump's account for, quote, hateful conduct stemming from the footage of what? His speeches.
00:36:25.000 We have covered this extensively on the Charlie Kirk show, that Twitter continues to be an absolute train wreck for conservatives, and they are just censoring and delisting and attacking conservatives with incredible regularity.
00:36:39.000 I encourage you to go back in the archives and listen to some of these episodes, especially my sit-down with conservative digital warrior ALX.
00:36:46.000 So here's the question is, when will we fight back against this blatant censorship?
00:36:49.000 I would rather have a conservative who turns their back on the market to protect democratic means of institutions than someone who so vigorously sides with market-based principles, yet stands idly by as big tech interferes in our elections.
00:37:03.000 These times call for wartime conservatives.
00:37:06.000 And where are they?
00:37:07.000 Well, I'll name a couple.
00:37:08.000 Tom Cotton, Donald Trump, Devin Nunez, Matt Gates.
00:37:10.000 But where are the rest?
00:37:11.000 Where are the fighters?
00:37:13.000 And I'll say this.
00:37:14.000 Everyone can say Joe Biden is controlled by the radical fringe of the Democrat Party.
00:37:18.000 And of course, it's true that he is.
00:37:19.000 But until Republicans stand up and fight, we're also controlled by the Democrat Party.
00:37:25.000 So is our party.
00:37:26.000 Democrats are using this virus, the riots, and everything happening in America to push a radical agenda, and we are letting them do it.
00:37:34.000 And what do Republicans get in response to it?
00:37:36.000 A police reform bill, which again, I think police generally do need some level of reform.
00:37:41.000 But police officers matter.
00:37:42.000 We need to stand with our police officers, not against them.
00:37:45.000 Caving yet again to the demands of the left.
00:37:48.000 So I want to end the episode with just talking about the amazing emails we got at freedomatcharlykirk.com off the prior episode.
00:37:54.000 If you haven't listened to it, please do, where I essentially ask you for ideas about what the president can do and what we can do to make our country a better, stronger place.
00:38:04.000 I like using you guys as a way to strengthen my worldview, as a way to poke holes in my arguments, as a way to try to make my arguments better and also get ideas from you.
00:38:11.000 So please keep emailing me your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:38:16.000 Here are some of the best ones.
00:38:17.000 Here is one that I just loved.
00:38:19.000 Charlie, wouldn't it be awesome if at a future rally or speech, Trump revealed a new monument to be installed that symbolizes the real history of this great nation?
00:38:26.000 I have no idea what that would be.
00:38:27.000 Maybe with an inscription that says, In God We Trust, but something to replace what has been torn down and give hope to this hurting nation.
00:38:32.000 I really do believe that there is a large silent majority.
00:38:35.000 Almost everyone that has opened up to me agrees.
00:38:38.000 That's a great idea.
00:38:39.000 Whoever had that question, I have your name, but if you're listening to this, email me, freedomatcharlykirk.com.
00:38:44.000 You get a free signed copy of the New York Times bestseller, MAGA Doctrine.
00:38:48.000 Here's another great one is that President Trump should commit to building two federal statues for every one that gets torn down.
00:38:54.000 I totally agree with this.
00:38:55.000 I realize that there's some not-so-great men that have statues, but I can make an argument that if there's not even more men that have no statues at all.
00:39:03.000 Here's another good one.
00:39:04.000 Charlie, I think President Trump should commit to building 10 fairly massive statues of our military heroes.
00:39:09.000 A lot on the statues.
00:39:10.000 It's really interesting.
00:39:12.000 The symbology and the icons of our country, it really hits home to our audience here.
00:39:16.000 So thank you for communicating that.
00:39:17.000 Essentially, this idea closes with, why don't we have 10 statues of medal honor recipients that are built immediately?
00:39:24.000 Here's another good one.
00:39:25.000 Charlie, President Trump should go on a strong communities tour.
00:39:28.000 Personally, he currently sends out people who work in depressed areas.
00:39:31.000 But what about going to the people?
00:39:33.000 Work with local leaders to host events.
00:39:35.000 Totally love that idea.
00:39:36.000 Here's another good one.
00:39:37.000 Charlie, President Trump needs to find strong proxies to go out and speak with or for him.
00:39:42.000 The Jim Jordans and Matt Gates' are great, but even more than ever, he needs black leaders and Hispanic leaders.
00:39:47.000 Please email me your thoughts and your feedback of what you think President Trump needs to do to pivot towards victory towards November.
00:39:55.000 And I really encourage you to go back and listen to the This Is Big podcast.
00:39:58.000 It's one of our best-reviewed podcasts we have ever had and one of our best listen-to podcasts we've ever had.
00:40:03.000 And please also listen to my exclusive interview with the President of United States President Trump.
00:40:07.000 And also listen to our sister episode tonight where I addressed a packed audience.
00:40:11.000 That's right.
00:40:12.000 There are still some people meeting in this country at the Wyoming Republican Convention.
00:40:16.000 And I laid it all on the line.
00:40:18.000 I gave a call to action to the Republicans and conservative and asked, why are they not fighting?
00:40:22.000 Why are they not stepping up when we need them the most?
00:40:25.000 I encourage you to listen to our sister episode today.
00:40:27.000 So please email me your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:40:32.000 It's time for us to think creatively.
00:40:33.000 It's time for us to think outside the box, which is the old kind of metaphor that people use.
00:40:38.000 But it's time for us to think towards victory.
00:40:42.000 We are a beautiful, benevolent, generous, aspirational, creative country.
00:40:46.000 Our country is under attack by malevolent dark forces.
00:40:48.000 And light will win against the dark.
00:40:52.000 We will win.
00:40:53.000 That's what we're doing every single day at Turning Point USA.
