00:00:30.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:31.000 Here, we go.

00:00:32.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:34.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:36.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:39.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:43.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:44.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:45.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:00:52.000 Turning point USA.

00:00:53.000 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.

00:01:02.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:04.000 Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.

00:01:13.000 How would one destroy a civilization?

00:01:16.000 Well, as we just spent quite a lot of time on, you would keep the borders open, you would destroy the rule of law, you'd get involved in petty foreign conflicts, you would demoralize the citizenry, you'd indoctrinate the youth and break the bond between children and parents.

00:01:33.000 The thing that has been happening in real time, in addition to all of that, that is incredibly important to focus on, is you would debase the currency.

00:01:43.000 Sound money is a critical piece of the social contract.

00:01:47.000 If you do not have sound money, if you do not know whether or not your dollar is going to be worth the same amount a year, five years, or 10 years, at least relative in a relative way, then all of a sudden you're going to be living in a place of chaos and uncertainty, which of course is the preferred posture of tyrants, authoritarians, dictators, and despots across the planet.

00:02:09.000 Inflation is not a mistake.

00:02:11.000 Inflation is a strategy.

00:02:13.000 Inflation was brought to you by both political parties.

00:02:16.000 Both parties gave you this.

00:02:18.000 The unnecessary stimulus bill that was passed in April of 2020, March or April of 2020.

00:02:24.000 The stimulus bill after that that was not necessary.

00:02:27.000 The infrastructure plan.

00:02:28.000 $6 trillion of additional federal spending in the last two years.

00:02:32.000 In a time where we went towards a hyper-technological approach to our economy, where we shut down the economy, where physical production went down, especially for restaurants, for hotels, for travel, whole portions of the economy totally and completely locked down.

00:02:49.000 And then you have a massive influx of created dollars.

00:02:55.000 Now, if you guys can get the exact number of the new dollar bills created, because there's a debate, we get fact-checked on this.

00:03:00.000 So I want to be very clear on it.

00:03:02.000 We're very committed to the truth here on this program.

00:03:04.000 But debasing the currency allows for bigger government programs.

00:03:09.000 When you have debt, you have three ways you can get out of debt.

00:03:12.000 You can cut spending, you can raise taxes, or you can inflate your way out of it.

00:03:19.000 So if you have a mortgage, if you have a lot of debt, a lot of credit card debt or student loan debt, believe it or not, this inflation news is not terrible for you.

00:03:29.000 Now, it's bad because your purchasing power is going to go down, but people with sizable debt burdens actually do really well in inflation.

00:03:37.000 This is exactly why corporate borrowing increased by $600 billion in the midst of the pandemic.

00:03:43.000 Really smart CIOs, chief investment officers of these companies, sent out memorandum after memorandum telling companies like Chili's, Target, front-facing companies, back-facing companies, whatever, hey, go borrow money now.

00:03:58.000 Do you notice?

00:03:59.000 And this is just kind of an interesting site.

00:04:00.000 Do you notice how many new looking Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, or Taco Bells there are?

00:04:06.000 Do you notice that driving around your community?

00:04:08.000 Or how about KFC's Kentucky Fried Chicken?

00:04:10.000 Do you notice they're kind of sleeker looking?

00:04:12.000 They're doing a lot of construction.

00:04:13.000 It's because there was a significant amount of borrowing that happened at the corporate level because they knew that they were never going to get this chance again of low interest rates.

00:04:22.000 And the debt actually becomes worth less as the currency also deteriorates.

00:04:29.000 For example, if you have $100 million in debt, let's say you had $100 million in debt in 2019, and every year there's a 10% inflation rate.

00:04:40.000 Well, that debt actually decreases by 10% every year that inflation.

00:04:46.000 Now, it doesn't decrease as if 100 million becomes 90 million.

00:04:49.000 No, but if the money supply increases and you have more dollar bills, but your debt stays the same, it actually works to your advantage.

00:04:57.000 And this is exactly why millennials and Generation Z, they're going to become radical socialists if conservatives don't get their act together here.

00:05:05.000 Because that works really well if you're owning property and you actually have debt against assets, not against liabilities.

00:05:12.000 So, for example, debt against liabilities would be like credit card debt.

00:05:17.000 These are assets that you bought or they're liabilities that you added to your balance sheet that largely do not increase in value over time.

00:05:27.000 Now, there's some obvious exceptions to that.

00:05:31.000 Medical debt actually does increase over time because you're alive, so you could still work.

00:05:35.000 So, that's helpful.

00:05:37.000 Certain wellness investments, so when you invest in yourself, but most credit card debt is spending of pleasure.

00:05:43.000 It's restaurants, clothes, travel, trips.

00:05:47.000 Most credit card debt are things that do not appreciate over time.

00:05:51.000 Their experiences, their movie tickets, Super Bowl tickets, things like that.

00:05:54.000 I'm not against that, obviously, but that's not a good place to put your money if you can't afford it.

00:06:00.000 But there's good debt where you actually borrow against assets, like you're borrowing against your business, or you're borrowing for your home.

00:06:09.000 And actually, the entire tax code is designed to actually benefit home loans.

00:06:13.000 So, if you have a debt burden against assets and the asset actually increases in value because there's more dollar bills, and your debt burden actually decreases because there's more dollar bills, who actually has that?

00:06:23.000 The biggest corporations and multi-billionaires took advantage of this.

00:06:27.000 Everyday people, most everyday people we work with at Turning Point USA, especially the 28, 29, and 30-year-olds, they don't own anything.

00:06:34.000 So, it is a, let's say, perfect storm.

00:06:37.000 It is three times more difficult.

00:06:39.000 And then, poor Connor, he has to be always used as the example, but Connor is a good example of this, right?

00:06:45.000 So, Connor's rent went up by $600 a month, right?

00:06:49.000 $600 a month.

00:06:50.000 Now, he does not have equity in that building, right?

00:06:53.000 He's not building wealth.

00:06:56.000 So, in order for Connor to live the same way he did last year without building actually his net worth, and by the way, it's Connor's not alone.

00:07:03.000 There's like 25 million people in the position that Connor's in.

00:07:06.000 They have to make $600 more just to be able to live in the place they were living.

00:07:11.000 And that place he was living was not actually building wealth and it wasn't a good level of debt.

00:07:15.000 So, you're seeing this bifurcation of American society of people that own property and were able to get into the game before the pandemic or in the midst of the pandemic or a reaction to the pandemic.

00:07:25.000 And a whole generation of people that will soon be rent control-demanding property redistribution socialists and conservatives are totally missing this.

00:07:38.000 Cut 94, inflation up 7.5%, the highest since 1982.

00:07:43.000 And by the way, I don't believe their inflation numbers.

00:07:45.000 I think inflation is 15 to 20%.

00:07:47.000 And I can prove it, but that's a separate issue for a different time.

00:07:50.000 Cut 94.

00:07:51.000 So, these were supposed to moderate.

00:07:52.000 They did not moderate.

00:07:54.000 Now for the biggies, 7.5 on year-over-year headline, 6% on year-over-year core.

00:08:01.000 So 7.5%.

00:08:04.000 And that is, of course, on headline.

00:08:06.000 You have to go to 1982 to find a higher number.

00:08:10.000 And of course, when we look at 5.5 on core, well, 5.5.

00:08:16.000 So now we have to go down on the whiteboard to August of 82.

00:08:21.000 Rick Santelli is a good man.

00:08:22.000 He actually started the Tea Party movement way back when by complaining about the very same policies we're going to get ourselves back into.

00:08:30.000 I am really frustrated about this because I was lectured by several people in the last year, not lectured, but private conversations of people that told me that inflation is no big deal.

00:08:38.000 How dare you worry about inflation?

00:08:39.000 Inflation is a wonderful thing if it happens at all.

00:08:42.000 Cut 99, CNN.

00:08:43.000 The only thing that won't cost more for your Super Bowl party are hot dogs.

00:08:46.000 Chicken is up 11.5%.

00:08:48.000 Ground beef is up 13%.

00:08:49.000 Steak is up 21.4%.

00:08:51.000 So why would it be that chicken, ground beef, and steak are up that much?

00:08:55.000 Because when you create dollars, all of a sudden they become worth less.

00:09:00.000 Everyone has more dollars.

00:09:01.000 But guess what?

00:09:02.000 You don't create more chicken or ground beef or steak.

00:09:05.000 So therefore, the things that you do not have a lot of become harder to find.

00:09:09.000 Therefore, the price goes up of those things.

00:09:12.000 When you debase your currency, the people that are in the business of producing goods or services that are finite will do even better, aka the rich and the wealthiest people.

00:09:24.000 So let me tell you another thing that's really important with this.

00:09:27.000 So we're talking about that which is limited and that which is unlimited.

00:09:31.000 Unlimited is not a great thing.

00:09:32.000 That which is limited and that which is abundant.

00:09:34.000 I think that's a better way to categorize it.

00:09:36.000 This is another reason why young people are going to get so smashed by inflation.

00:09:41.000 So when inflation occurs, you want to have, you want to own things that other people cannot find.

00:09:49.000 So economics is the war against scarcity.

00:09:51.000 So that's why people go to gold and silver, even though gold and silver is flatlined.

00:09:55.000 There's good reasons for that.

00:09:55.000 We've actually had some phenomenal emails sent to us to explain that.

00:09:58.000 This is why Bitcoin has gone up.

00:10:00.000 This is why real estate goes up.

00:10:01.000 This is why fine art goes up.

00:10:03.000 But this is another reason why young people and students are going to get crushed and squeezed by inflation because the skills they have, the labor themselves, is actually worthless because they went to college and got a meaningless piece of paper.

00:11:23.000 Entrepreneurship and new products is a hedge against inflation.

00:11:27.000 When you create new things, all of a sudden that can bring prices down.

00:11:31.000 But when you have entire labor markets of young people that have the same sort of meaningless skills of being able to recite why America's racist or the BLM creed or how many different genders or pronouns there are, whatever they teach at universities now these days, which is largely useless.

00:11:47.000 90% of kids that go to college should not go to college, which is a theme that we will build out more in the coming months as my book is coming out.

00:11:54.000 Then all of a sudden, then you have a whole generation of people that rent and they don't own.

00:12:00.000 They have somewhat useless skill sets, and they now have to try to keep up with the rate of which prices are going up.

00:12:11.000 Play cut 99.

00:12:12.000 The only thing that won't cost more for your Super Bowl party are hot dogs, but chicken, ground beef, and steak are up double digits.

00:12:17.000 Play cut 99.

00:12:19.000 Two words, Laura, hot dogs. 0.93

00:12:21.000 I like them.

00:12:22.000 Only thing that won't cost more for your Super Bowl party, hot dogs. 0.80

00:12:25.000 For everything else, inflation is your uninvited guest to the party this year.

00:12:28.000 Watch out at the meat counter.

00:12:30.000 Those hot dogs are cheaper, but all the other meat is more expensive.

00:12:32.000 Chicken wings, prices up nearly 12% from last year.

00:12:35.000 Ground beef for your chili, 13% more.

00:12:38.000 Steak prices, they're up more than 21%.

00:12:40.000 Rick Santelli continues by saying, look, wages are up 5%, but they're not even close to keeping up with inflation.

00:12:47.000 Now, the way that our government calculates inflation, I think, is fraudulent.

00:12:51.000 I believe inflation has been happening for the last decade.

00:12:54.000 It just hasn't been reflected in the way that the government actually puts together the CPI, the Consumer Price Index.

00:13:00.000 They get to choose the goods and services.

00:13:02.000 I think inflation has been almost double digits for a while now.

00:13:06.000 I could be out on a limb here, but I don't think so because I see, for example, rent going up.

00:13:12.000 I mean, you go to a local Trader Joe's, you go to a local restaurant here, every price is up, not just 10%.

00:13:19.000 I'm talking 15% to 20% increase of prices across the board.

00:13:23.000 Play cut 121.

00:13:24.000 We know labor costs probably aren't going to be going down anytime soon, even though they are far from, at least at this point, competing with the actual rate of inflation.

00:13:36.000 It's lagging.

00:13:37.000 So even though wages are up close to 5%, they're not keeping up with inflation.

00:13:42.000 They're not keeping up with inflation.

00:13:43.000 Therefore, normal everyday people are getting poorer.

00:13:46.000 And employers have to make a decision.

00:13:49.000 Are you going to raise wages?

00:13:51.000 Are you going to lower your reduce your labor force?

00:13:55.000 Inflation is the ultimate intervention into an economy.

00:13:59.000 Let me say that again.

00:14:00.000 Now, this is a radical statement I'm about to say.

00:14:02.000 You ready for this?

00:14:04.000 I would rather have high taxes.

00:14:06.000 Like, I'm talking about European Scandinavian high taxes than inflation.

00:14:14.000 I would rather be able to plan what my currency is worth and what it will be worth and have to pay confiscatory taxes on top of that rather than a frenetic tax increase of chaos, unpredictability.

00:14:31.000 There is nothing beneficial to the everyday working man when it comes to the deterioration and the debasing of the purchasing power of the dollar in your pocket.

00:14:44.000 Ted Cruz agrees.

00:14:45.000 Play cut 100.

00:14:46.000 Laducci, you recently wrote an article for Forbes in which you stated: quote: Vegetarians can cope with inflation better than steak eating Ford F-150 owners.

00:14:56.000 And you suggest that for Americans to survive inflation by switching from expensive things to cheaper things and liking it, wouldn't it be better to adopt appropriate monetary policies such as reining in out of control, spending, and debt, rather than forcing people to abandon their preferences, not eat steak, not drive trucks, change their lifestyle?

00:15:19.000 He's exactly right.

00:15:20.000 And by the way, it's very good politics for Ted Cruz.

00:15:22.000 I think steak and F-150s are largely popular in Texas.

00:15:25.000 I think those still things get great, great response.

00:15:29.000 Inflation is going to cause bad incentives.

00:15:33.000 It's going to cause people that are outside of the labor market.

00:15:37.000 Remember, economics is the study and the war against scarcity.

00:15:42.000 If you think about it, there would be no supply and demand if there is an unlimited, if there's an unlimited production.

00:15:48.000 For example, in Phoenix, Arizona, most days, there is a nearly unlimited supply of the sun.

00:15:55.000 So the law of economics doesn't really apply to that.

00:16:00.000 But what happens all of a sudden when something becomes so abundant, it starts to be worth nothing.

00:16:06.000 You start to what?

00:16:07.000 Take it for granted.

00:16:08.000 And then all of a sudden, your currency collapses.

00:16:10.000 Money is the transference of value.

00:16:12.000 It's where value is stored.

00:16:14.000 It replaced the barter system.

00:16:15.000 And guess what?

00:16:16.000 The barter system is coming back because people don't know what anything's worth anymore.

00:16:20.000 And our politicians created it intentionally to try to usher in the great reset and the destruction of the muscular, blue-collar middle class.

00:17:29.000 We like to talk about issues that go a level deeper and talk about trends that we are seeing happen in real time.

00:17:37.000 And someone who's a great friend of mine and a friend of this program, Keith Rose, came on back in November and warned us about a fertilizer crisis that was coming to America.

00:17:49.000 We received lots of emails from people mocking us, saying that's not true.

00:17:53.000 It's not going to happen.

00:17:54.000 Well, it is happening.

00:17:56.000 Let's play cut 105 before we welcome Keith to the program.

00:18:00.000 This is back from November, PlayCut 105.

00:18:03.000 We're going to go into a lot of different issues, but he really piqued my curiosity.

00:18:06.000 We were talking the other day about something that everyone needs to be aware of about not just the supply chain issue, but there's another shortage issue.

00:18:13.000 And remember, we are nine meals away from anarchy.

00:18:16.000 And if there is a fertilizer shortage, we're going to have some big problems.

00:18:20.000 It used to be fertilizer was $350 a ton.

00:18:24.000 Now it's $650 a ton.

00:18:26.000 And if you can get it in six months, it's projected to go $950 a ton.

00:18:32.000 So with us, the man who predicted that, who saw it coming, and that's reflected also in your rising food prices, is Keith Rose.

00:18:38.000 Keith, welcome back to the program.

00:18:40.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:18:41.000 Good to be here.

00:18:42.000 So Keith, walk us through it.

00:18:44.000 The crisis is ongoing.

00:18:45.000 I'm reading many articles now where people say, we didn't see this coming.

00:18:47.000 Well, you did.

00:18:48.000 And I think it's resulting in some shortages of food supply and other means.

00:18:53.000 Walk us through it.

00:18:54.000 Well, Charlie, as you allude to a lot with this new green deal and the pressure put on energy companies, the price of natural gas continued to rise.

00:19:05.000 And as LNG liquefied natural gas prices rose, the price of fertilizer began to rose to where it became really prohibitory to actually produce fertilizer because most of the fertilizer in the United States is nitrogen-based.

00:19:19.000 So you have to make it with natural gas.

00:19:22.000 And when that was happening, we were talking about the spike in prices.

00:19:26.000 And the largest producers of fertilizer or the precursor chemicals for that are in Russia and China.

00:19:34.000 We don't exactly have our best national interests.

00:19:38.000 And Russia and China had shut us off, I believe, in November.

00:19:43.000 They were not even shipping.

00:19:44.000 And the largest fertilizer supplier was CF Industries, and they had cut production dramatically.

00:19:50.000 And as we spoke about, we thought it could be the perfect storm.

00:19:54.000 Add on top of that, the transit disaster, because you have truckers in the supply lines that aren't functioning because they can't get goods to market because of the blockades or the man-made disasters on the coastlines.

00:20:09.000 And it's not a good situation.

00:20:12.000 And you also have the yellow phosphorus shortage, which they need for pesticides.

00:20:17.000 So not only are they short or don't have fertilizer, they won't have pesticides as well.

00:20:23.000 Well, that could have major implications.

00:20:26.000 And so global farmers are facing a fertilized sticker shock, which may cut use, raising food security risks, Reuters reports.

00:20:33.000 Another article here from National Pulse: fertilizer price spikes and Chinese import reliance threatens U.S. agricultural security.

00:20:42.000 It really is a national security issue, isn't it?

00:20:45.000 It is.

00:20:46.000 We and a lot of our major corporations decided that instead of warehousing what we needed, they would shorten the supply chain to increase their profit margins.

00:20:58.000 And at the time, it seemed good.

00:20:59.000 The problem is the way they shortened the supply line was to rely more on foreign production in China and for fertilizer in Russia as well.

00:21:08.000 And so while we're coming out of a pandemic that started in China, we are now caught on the short end of the stick, literally for fertilizer.

00:21:18.000 And the American people I know are reeling from a man-made medical issue.

00:21:24.000 Now we're going to deal with a man-made food shortage.

00:21:28.000 And I've been in other countries when that happens, and it gets ugly really fast.

00:21:33.000 I totally agree.

00:21:34.000 So, shifting gears here, Keith, you know, we're experiencing inflation, open borders.

00:21:38.000 I went to Yuma yesterday.

00:21:40.000 You're a foreign intelligence expert.

00:21:42.000 Just kind of give us your analysis of the lay of the land.

00:21:45.000 Where do you think are some of the great vulnerabilities for the regime?

00:21:48.000 What are you seeing that is giving you hope, giving you optimism?

00:21:51.000 And what do you think are some of the things we really need to focus our energy and resources on?

00:21:56.000 Well, my hope is in God right now because our border is wide open.

00:22:02.000 There are several areas down there, ironically enough, that used to be fracking regions, especially in South Texas called the Eagleford Shale region.

00:22:10.000 And they have a lot of paved, developed internal roads and networks or arteries of roads that can go all through Texas.

00:22:19.000 And now you have an open border where someone could drive a semi-truck full of anything or everything and easily get it up into the United States.

00:22:28.000 So we're not secure at our border. 0.61

00:22:30.000 That on top of the fact that we left $80 billion in lethal aid in a country that Iran, which is one of the largest exporters of terrorism in the world, and Pakistan, who's trying to rival them for that, have access to.

00:22:46.000 And with open southern borders, to me, it's concerning.

00:22:49.000 And then when you see the regime talk about our biggest threat, they just released the other day is internal.

00:22:57.000 It's voting rights or misinformation or disinformation, which we all know is anything taken in the context of the actual reality is misinformation if it goes against the narrative.

00:23:09.000 And it's like you've talked about many times.

00:23:12.000 It's not politics we're talking about here.

00:23:14.000 It's when people are going to understand and get along in their American identity and understand that our entire nation is being subverted and divided.

00:23:24.000 What is the best way then to do a counter move to the subversion?

00:23:28.000 I mean, you have a lot of experience of that, looking at that in foreign countries.

00:23:31.000 People ask that all the time.

00:23:32.000 I mean, I went to Yuma yesterday, Keith, and I was blown away at the intentional policies by this regime to allow our borders to remain open.

00:23:41.000 To also, Border Patrol has become almost nothing more than a paper processing center for amnesty to give people the paperwork so they can get in-state tuition, driver's licenses, and vote in New York and California.

00:23:52.000 What is the best way to kind of execute that counter move?

00:23:56.000 The best way is what you're seeing in Canada, Charlie.

00:24:00.000 When you see mass movements of people based on an issue, the issue in Canada isn't the individual tyrannical moves of the Trudeau government.

00:24:12.000 The issue is freedom.

00:24:14.000 And when you have thousands, tens of thousands of truckers and people supporting them, that's what changes everything.

00:24:22.000 We had talked about a color revolution, which is what we're going through. 0.54

00:24:26.000 Peaceful, mass protests. 0.90

00:24:28.000 If you had thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, dare I say millions of Americans going peacefully to the streets and saying, you know what, enough is enough.

00:24:42.000 We've hurt our children with masking.

00:24:44.000 We've hurt our health with not early with lack of early treatment.

00:24:48.000 We're now hurting our food supply.

00:24:50.000 You know what we're hurting?

00:24:51.000 We're hurting the future development of our nation.

00:24:55.000 And we have something that Canada doesn't even have.

00:24:57.000 We have a constitution that is going on 245 years that spells out the separation of each branch of government.

00:25:05.000 It spells out not what we can do as Americans, but what government can't do.

00:25:10.000 And so what we have to do is rally around our national identity.

00:25:16.000 And that's the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence.

00:25:21.000 Because although we are a nation of multiple cultures, we're not a multiple culturalism nation where we have cultures where the culture is more important than the national identity.

00:25:34.000 And that's always been the tie that binds.

00:25:36.000 You could be from anywhere in the world.

00:25:38.000 You could be any color.

00:25:39.000 You could be any race.

00:25:40.000 You could be any gender.

00:25:42.000 But we all identified first as Americans. 0.84

00:25:46.000 And that is what they're trying to separate and they're trying to tear apart. 0.99

00:25:50.000 Talk about just what gives you hope right now.

00:25:52.000 I'm seeing people rise up in record numbers.

00:25:55.000 I totally agree.

00:25:56.000 Massive levels of support.

00:25:57.000 The rise of the citizen is a real thing.

00:25:59.000 You know, what we're seeing in the suburbs of Chicago right now is you're seeing dozens of schools that are doing massive walkouts under mask mandates.

00:26:07.000 At Turning Point, USA groups are doing this.

00:26:10.000 We're seeing this happen in California, Washington.

00:26:12.000 We're about to announce my visit to Chicago next week to help give these students reinforcement.

00:26:17.000 This is the type of energy that we need.

00:26:19.000 And it seems as if that's the sort of activity that makes the regime very nervous.

00:26:25.000 When immigrants came to this country, Charlie, in 1941, they got the American Handbook for immigrants.

00:26:31.000 And it stressed three things.

00:26:33.000 It stressed our past history, the family, and God.

00:26:38.000 And it said, we are rooted in our past.

00:26:40.000 That's the soil that allows the branches of our future to grow and reach for the sky.

00:26:45.000 I'm paraphrasing.

00:26:46.000 And what I believe is happening right now is the government, centralized government has completely allowed itself to be polarized.

00:26:54.000 We know where the problems are coming from.

00:26:56.000 The center of all of the chaos we're seeing is Washington, D.C.

00:27:01.000 And I think people on both sides of the aisle, and whether you're a D or an R in many cities, are seeing my children are being hurt.

00:27:09.000 Things aren't on the shelf that I can buy for food, basic necessities.

00:27:14.000 And they see other places rising up like Canada peacefully, but with a great sense of we want one thing, we want freedom.

00:27:22.000 And for this nation to come back, I love the way you start your show with an awakening.

00:27:27.000 We need an awakening in this nation, an awakening to our founding.

00:27:31.000 And we have to look back at our past if we're going to move forward in our present.

00:27:35.000 Amen.

00:27:35.000 Well, thank you so much, Keith, for joining us.

00:27:37.000 It's a pleasure, as always.

00:27:38.000 I deeply appreciate it.

00:27:39.000 Thank you so much, my friend.

00:27:41.000 Thanks, brother.

00:27:42.000 Keep up the good work.

00:27:43.000 Thank you.

00:27:44.000 Everybody, I want to play just a couple pieces of tape here, and we're going to build this out.

00:27:47.000 What's happening with students pushing back against the mask mandates is totally unprecedented and amazing.

00:27:56.000 Cut 103.

00:27:57.000 Yes.

00:27:57.000 Illinois father weeps with rage at a school board meeting over mask mandates that ruined his daughter's development.

00:28:05.000 Play cut 103.

00:28:07.000 I will never forgive myself for not fighting more.

00:28:10.000 I feel that I have failed her for not fighting more.

00:28:16.000 This district uses hashtags be bold.

00:28:20.000 Next to everything, you continue hiding behind others instead of leading and fighting for the kids that need you the most.

00:28:27.000 You've left them behind while you say that there's no lost learning.

00:28:31.000 The vulnerable, like my daughter, have lost, and she won't get these things back.

00:28:38.000 Now, I do not mean to be cruel, but he's right.

00:28:42.000 He did not fight hard enough, and he let this happen to his daughter.

00:28:45.000 But it's a heroic and a courageous action he took to admit that and to say that out loud.

00:28:51.000 So after the father was done talking, board member Kristen Fitzgerald reminds the crowd that everyone in the room needs to be wearing a mask.

00:28:59.000 Cut 104.

00:29:01.000 Hey, I'm going to write before I start, before we start, I'm just going to remind all individuals in this audience and in our overflow rooms need to have on a mask. 0.92

00:29:11.000 These people are demented. 0.84

00:29:13.000 I mean, they really are. 0.98

00:29:15.000 At some point, I don't even know if we're living in the same country with the same values, the same morals, and the same world.

00:29:20.000 You have a father there trembling saying, My daughter has been so damaged by these mask policies.

00:29:26.000 And Kristen Fitzgerald says, oh, by the way, everyone needs to be wearing a mask here. 1.00

00:29:30.000 There's energy happening in the suburbs of Chicago that is real.

00:29:34.000 It is genuine.

00:29:35.000 It is organic.

00:29:36.000 And it's grassroots.

00:29:38.000 And I'm probably heading there next week to go pour a megaton of gas on that fire.

00:29:46.000 Look, with all the different makes and models of cars, it could be very confusing.

00:29:50.000 I'm not a car guy.

00:29:51.000 I'm not.

00:29:52.000 And I get ripped off.

00:29:53.000 Okay.

00:29:53.000 If I go to a traditional storefront, it's a disaster.

00:29:56.000 It really is.

00:29:57.000 You know, these people that know a lot about cars, they're selling me all sorts of weird and wacky things.

00:30:02.000 They're like, you need a flagpole and you need a Wilson wire and you need a Hamilton bar and all this different sorts of stuff.

00:30:10.000 Never heard of.

00:30:10.000 I said, okay, sure.

00:30:11.000 Here's the credit card.

00:30:12.000 Next thing you know, it's thousands of dollars later and I've been ripped off.

00:30:15.000 Well, look, you have computers, so you can access rockauto.com at home and in your pocket.

00:30:20.000 So you should repair and maintain your cars.

00:30:22.000 It's a way to save money and you can use them for other important things like mortgages and food.

00:30:26.000 So go to rockauto.com.

00:30:28.000 That's rockauto.com.

00:30:29.000 Their prices are reliably low at rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear like airlines do.

00:30:38.000 Rockauto.com is a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.

00:30:43.000 Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.

00:30:48.000 Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are reliably low.

00:30:51.000 Go to rockauto.com right now.

00:30:53.000 See all the parts available for your car or truck.

00:30:55.000 Right, Charlie Kirk and the how did you hear about us?

00:30:57.000 So they know that we sent you.

00:30:59.000 Amazing selection, reliably low prices, all the parts your car will ever need, rockauto.com.

00:31:07.000 I'm just so proud of the work our Turning Point USA students are doing.

00:31:11.000 They are the vanguard.

00:31:13.000 They are the bulwark.

00:31:15.000 They are the front lines of liberty and freedom.

00:31:18.000 And we want to try to inspire parents to fight as hard as these students.

00:31:22.000 If you are a parent or a grandparent listening to this, I want to try to encourage you to fight as hard as these students.

00:31:29.000 Ethan Liu, turning point USA chapter president, I believe I met him last week, really great guy, spoke boldly to the Flagstaff Unified School Board members, calling them to unmask the children.

00:31:39.000 Play Cut 83.

00:31:40.000 I can guarantee that in the next couple of months, more and more students will join to end these mask mandates. 0.70

00:31:46.000 If schools across the nation can hold block over gun violence like when I was in high school, I see no reason why students should do the same thing masculine schools.

00:31:53.000 You want masculines in? 1.00

00:31:56.000 You want your feedback?

00:31:57.000 I suggest you take action.

00:31:59.000 If you want massive results, you need to take massive action.

00:32:02.000 I'll say it again.

00:32:03.000 If you want massive results, you must take massive action.

00:32:06.000 Right now is the time to stand up.

00:32:07.000 Not next semester, not in a couple of months, but now.

00:32:10.000 So, how does the media cover Democrats versus Republicans lifting mask mandates?

00:32:14.000 Play Cut 80.

00:32:16.000 Glenn Young campaign as if he were an ordinary suburban, fleece-wearing dad with moderate and ineffensive views.

00:32:22.000 Young did exactly what a Republican does when they get into power.

00:32:27.000 Let's look at what's going on.

00:32:28.000 Let's move this state back 50 years.

00:32:31.000 Virginia Governor and Trump in training Glenn Young.

00:32:38.000 We know Glenn Young's true colors.

00:32:40.000 It's that.

00:32:41.000 It's MAGA red.

00:32:42.000 New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, Oregon, and California all move to relax their mask mandates.

00:32:48.000 These are all states led by Democrats and once hard-hit COVID zones, and they seem to be decisions driven by science, not politics.

00:32:55.000 The reaction so far has been broadly, if not overwhelmingly, positive.

00:33:00.000 The facts are great.

00:33:01.000 We're headed in the right direction, as I think we hoped we would be.

00:33:04.000 More signs.

00:33:05.000 The country is pushing to get back to normal.

00:33:08.000 I hat-tapped the Washington Free Beacon.

00:33:10.000 That's one of the best videos I've seen in quite some time.

00:33:12.000 It's extraordinary.

00:33:13.000 The first part of the video is: Glenn Yunkin is killing people.

00:33:16.000 Then it's like a lullaby music.

00:33:18.000 And he's relaxing.

00:33:20.000 I love the word of repealing versus relaxing.

00:33:24.000 Don't you love that?

00:33:25.000 When Democrats do it, it's relaxing.

00:33:27.000 When Republicans do it, it's erroneously repealing.

00:33:31.000 Incredible.

00:33:33.000 By the way, the truckers are still in Ottawa.

00:33:36.000 They are not leaving.

00:33:38.000 So the government of Canada decided to try to confiscate all the diesel so truckers can't be in Ottawa.

00:33:44.000 So thousands of Canadians started to show up with diesel.

00:33:48.000 There's something very special happening.

00:33:50.000 Everybody, pay attention.

00:33:51.000 There's something happening.

00:33:52.000 The frequency is ascending.

00:33:55.000 Play that clip, please.

00:34:12.000 The visual was unbelievable for everyone watching on rumble.com, R-U-M-B-L-E.com, where they are carrying diesel fuel into downtown Ottawa.

00:34:26.000 CNN asks, are you concerned about the double standard on masks may come off where they are required in schools, but not for that for hurt Democrats?

00:34:34.000 Democrat Sean Maloney doesn't phase him.

00:34:36.000 Play cut 101.

00:34:38.000 Congressman, are you concerned about how the double standard on masks may come off, where they're required in schools for kids, but not for adults in the same states?

00:34:47.000 That that will hurt Democrats?

00:34:49.000 No.

00:34:50.000 No.

00:34:50.000 You know, I think a majority of CNN's viewership is, of course, airports, but also the cuts of their insanity of things that happen on their network.

00:34:59.000 I actually think that they have a massive residual viewership.

00:35:03.000 Now, they're not able to monetize that, obviously, because they can't sell ads on it, but just the mockery and the cutting and the splicing is pretty amazing.

00:35:13.000 If you are in Chicago and you have a child in public school, encourage them to engage in this generation's equivalent of civil disobedience.

00:35:22.000 Masking our children has never been supported by science.

00:35:26.000 It is terrible for their upbringing, for their spiritual, for their mental, and for their emotional health, spiritual, mental, emotional, physical health, every form of health.

00:35:36.000 And for parents out there, I'm going to encourage you to please fight harder.

00:35:42.000 You are in charge.

00:35:44.000 You own the school districts.

00:35:46.000 They work for you.

00:35:48.000 Do not allow your tax dollars to go towards the abuse of your children.
