00:00:14.000 We also read the Patriot Act and talk about what's in it.

00:00:19.000 Should South Dakota be abolished, wiped off the face of the planet?

00:00:23.000 Well, a leading liberal publication has now published a new article that South Dakota should be nixed.

00:00:30.000 We talk about the vaccine, Pfizer, and some new revelations from Project Veritas, and so much more.

00:03:40.000 That's why we are here.

00:03:44.000 This episode is brought to you by my friends at ExpressVPN, expressvpn.com/slash Charlie.

00:04:11.000 Lots to get to today.

00:04:12.000 We're keeping our eye on the school shooting situation in Arlington, Texas.

00:04:17.000 That story is still developing.

00:04:20.000 I have learned over the years, do not report on these stories until we know exactly what's going on and all the context surrounding it.

00:04:30.000 And so we're going to wait for that as there seems to be a school shooting of multiple people shot in Arlington, Texas, that is right near Dallas, Texas, as that story continues to unfold.

00:04:43.000 And so there's a lot of stories I want to get to this hour, including Merrick Garland and the Attorney General of the United States, who might have another motive for why he's deploying the Federal Bureau of Investigation against school board parents or against parents that are challenging school boards.

00:05:03.000 And this is a story that was breaking in the last couple of days where we saw the National School Board Association of America come out, demand that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the federal government go after what they call domestic terrorists.

00:05:20.000 And so here's a really simple question is, have you heard of a bombing at a school board meeting in the last year?

00:05:27.000 Anyone getting killed?

00:05:30.000 No, they had in the memo from Merrick Garland, they had the following, that there was intimidation, harassment, and violence.

00:05:39.000 What exactly, how exactly do they classify intimidation and harassment?

00:05:47.000 So Merrick Garland issues this memo saying that he is going to use the full force of the federal government to come after regular everyday parents that dare speak out and say that they do not want their children learning critical race theory with their money and their kids.

00:06:05.000 And so what we are now learning is that Merrick Garland might be financially incentivized to do this.

00:06:16.000 Merrick Garland's daughter is married to the co-founder of the education company who is selling critical race theory resources materials to school districts.

00:06:29.000 So Merrick Garland's family, his potential grandchildren, I don't know if they have grandchildren or not, and his daughter, Rebecca Garland, who's married to this guy, Zan Tanner, they look like the absolute stereotypical liberal metropolitan college educated couple.

00:06:49.000 It's like if you were just to kind of create a poster child of kind of what college produces, it's right there.

00:06:57.000 And so this guy runs this company, this systemic social emotional learning project.

00:07:04.000 The New York Times celebrated their marriage.

00:07:09.000 Now, here's just a good rule for life.

00:07:11.000 If the New York Times is celebrating your marriage with a whole page, either you have really powerful parents or you're doing something that's not good for the country or civilization.

00:07:21.000 They got a whole page in the New York Times where it says, Mr. Tanner is known as Jan.

00:07:27.000 He is the founder and president of Panorama Education and an analytical software and services company in Boston.

00:07:33.000 He's also a graduate from Yale.

00:07:35.000 I didn't even read this before, and I just, I knew, I could see it in his eyes.

00:07:39.000 Yale, Stanford, one of the two.

00:07:42.000 He is the son of Catherine.

00:07:44.000 And he's British technology.

00:07:46.000 They first met in summer camp in Colorado.

00:07:49.000 This whole thing is like, why exactly is this necessary for the New York Times?

00:07:53.000 Like, oh, okay, he's marrying into the Garland family.

00:07:57.000 And this was during a time when Merrick Garland, right afterwards, he was denied his seat on the Supreme Court and he was a federal judge.

00:08:04.000 And he was within the tickler file or the blue book of then becoming possibly the Attorney General of the United States.

00:08:12.000 And so then when you go to Panorama's website, Panorama Education, which is the actual supply company that supplies the education material or all this CRT stuff with workbooks, the textbooks, who's the co-founder?

00:08:26.000 Jan Tanner.

00:08:30.000 And so then you go to the website of the Panorama Education Services link and it says measure and understand social and emotional learning.

00:08:40.000 Panorama Education, which has built out K through 12 education software platform, has raised $60 million in a Series C round of funding.

00:08:50.000 And then it gets very interesting.

00:08:52.000 All of a sudden, all the forces combine together.

00:08:55.000 Where existing backers are the Emerson Collective.

00:08:59.000 Now, we've talked about the Emerson Collective before in this program.

00:09:02.000 The Emerson Collective is a dark money, multi-billion dollar group founded and led.

00:09:08.000 I don't know if it was founded, but it's largely led and financed by Lorene Powell Jobs, Steve Jobs' widow, inherited $20 billion, didn't earn any of it, and has decided to use her wealth to destroy Western civilization.

00:09:23.000 But then it gets even more interesting.

00:09:26.000 Existing backer is also the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

00:09:31.000 So Mark Zuckerberg is funding the very company that Merrick Garland's family is going to be benefiting from, where now he's deploying the federal government Pretorian Guard to go after parents.

00:09:45.000 This is all thanks to the conservativetreehouse.com.

00:09:48.000 I think they were the first website to uncover this, and I just want to make them for this.

00:09:52.000 It's very, very good.

00:09:54.000 Panorama continues to go into this, and they say over 50 of the 100 largest school districts and state agencies in the country use this platform.

00:10:04.000 In total, more than 1,500 school districts are among its customers.

00:10:08.000 Clients include the New York City Department of Education, the Clark County School District in Nevada, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas, and the Hawaii Department of Education, amongst others.

00:10:21.000 Since March of 2020, Panorama has added 700 more school districts to its customer base, nearly doubling the 800 it just served 18 months prior.

00:10:33.000 Jan Tanner, the co-founder of the company, started the company in an effort to figure out the best way for schools to collect and understand feedback from their parents.

00:10:42.000 But you go to the very website of Panorama Education, you realize that this is an online portal to be able to better teach children bigotry, hatred, racism, and critical race theory.

00:10:56.000 PanoramaEd.com.

00:10:59.000 You could check it out yourself.

00:11:01.000 It's a massive staff.

00:11:02.000 Have you seen how many people work for this company?

00:11:04.000 It's got to be at least 300 to 400 people that work for this company.

00:11:09.000 Not that many.

00:11:10.000 It's probably 200 people.

00:11:12.000 And you go to the front of the Panorama website.

00:11:17.000 It says all of the data that you need to succeed.

00:11:22.000 But then you dive deeper into this and you realize that every single one of these awful ideas is now made possible thanks to the profit motive of the Garland family.

00:11:33.000 This is partly what parents are speaking out against when they go to these school board meetings.

00:11:37.000 Is Merrick Garland conflicted?

00:11:41.000 There's a conflict of interest here, clearly, as his daughter is now married into the family and is part of the family of the company that parents are speaking out against.

00:11:53.000 And Merrick Garland says, oh, don't worry.

00:11:55.000 I'll throw the feds at them. 0.99

00:11:57.000 We're just going to send the FBI and intimidate and chill future speech. 0.52

00:12:05.000 Since September 2021, it's just last month, Panorama Education Zan Tanner raised $60 million to expand operations.

00:12:14.000 His father-in-law, Merrick Garland, then tells the FBI to investigate any potential parental interference or disruption that might impede his daughter and son-in-law's business interests.

00:12:27.000 You know, we used to have laws against this sort of stuff.

00:12:30.000 But it's no surprise.

00:12:31.000 It's the same thing how Joe Biden creates Chinese policy to benefit his family.

00:12:38.000 It's the same thing how Hunter Biden says that, oh, I don't know who's buying my art, even though breaking news story shows today, he's hanging out with the people that are buying his art.

00:12:47.000 But always follow the money, everybody.

00:12:49.000 That there is a profit motive and there's an incentive behind the clampdown.

00:12:55.000 And Merrick Garland, being a scorned man, is using federal police, the FBI, to go after you, regular parents, so that his family could potentially remain rich.

00:13:12.000 Look, more than half the country is currently on a high-deductible health insurance plan and on the hook for thousands of dollars of deductibles, copay, and sky-high premiums.

00:13:22.000 For many people in the United States, concerned about the cost of health insurance, there are no good options.

00:13:28.000 You either go uninsured or you pay through the nose for a high-deductible plan with very questionable coverage, all because of a broken health insurance system.

00:13:39.000 It's like being stuck with an outdated cable TV plan and not knowing about Netflix.

00:13:44.000 I want to introduce to you CrowdHealth.

00:13:46.000 CrowdHealth is not health insurance.

00:13:48.000 It's a better way to pay for medical expenses.

00:13:50.000 CrowdHealth is a community of people who are tired of paying for a broken system.

00:13:55.000 It's a place where you can get simple, flexible, and affordable ways to pay for your health care.

00:14:01.000 Being in the crowdhealth community can save hundreds of dollars monthly and put thousands of dollars back in your pocket.

00:14:07.000 Why CrowdHealth?

00:14:08.000 Well, it's flexible and simple and also is a membership-based system.

00:14:12.000 It's flexible because membership as a month-a-month subscription, start or stop when it comes convenient for you.

00:14:17.000 It's simple because using their app, you can find any doctor in the country ranked from one star to five star.

00:14:23.000 And it's a membership-based system.

00:14:25.000 We're a community of health-conscious members who want to get and stay healthy in return for lower prices.

00:14:30.000 100% of your monthly membership pays for actual health care costs, helping the whole crowd health community stay healthy while keeping more money in your pocket.

00:14:40.000 So here's what you do.

00:14:41.000 CrowdHealth is able to offer amazing prices because of its community of health conscious members.

00:14:47.000 But they have an amazing offer.

00:14:49.000 Just for my listeners, get your first six months for just $99 per month.

00:14:53.000 That's a savings of almost 50% versus their standard pricing and a lot less than one of those garbage high deductible plans.

00:15:01.000 Just go to joincrowdhealth.com slash 99 or enter code Charlie at signup.

00:15:06.000 That's joincrowdhealth.com slash 99, promo code Charlie.

00:15:10.000 CrowdHealth is not health insurance.

00:15:12.000 It's community-powered alternative.

00:15:13.000 Terms and conditions may apply.

00:15:18.000 Imagine preparing your whole life to go work for the FBI, which there are a lot of good people that work for the FBI and have.

00:15:25.000 The boots of the FBI is full of a lot of great people.

00:15:29.000 And you say, you know, I want to go serve my country.

00:15:31.000 I want to catch drug traffickers, child sex traffickers, international money launderers.

00:15:36.000 And they have a big meeting and they say, okay, we understand you've committed 20 years to the FBI and to federal law enforcement.

00:15:44.000 Here's what we're going to do.

00:15:45.000 We're going to go send you after 42-year-old moms in suburban Detroit, Atlanta, and Dallas. 0.99

00:15:52.000 And you say, Is this really what I signed up for?

00:15:55.000 To go spy on moms that are asking questions at school boards? 0.99

00:16:01.000 The answer is yes.

00:16:02.000 Now, meanwhile, and we didn't actually cover this story, which I want to get into.

00:16:06.000 This actually is something because there was so much news last week.

00:16:09.000 Is to go through there: there is this question of is America becoming a safer country or a more dangerous country?

00:16:23.000 So, Merrick Garland did not issue a memo condemning the fact that murders are up 30% since last year.

00:16:32.000 30%.

00:16:33.000 Murders are up.

00:16:35.000 So, murders are up 30% in the last year.

00:16:39.000 And Merrick Garland instead issues a directive saying that we're not going to go try to find the spike in violent crime, like the abolishing police force, BLM Incorporated, how these ideas of CRT are actually resulting in more people being dead.

00:16:57.000 No, instead, he wants to issue a press release or a memo directing the federal government to go after domestic political enemies that they don't like.

00:17:10.000 Instead of trying to convince people of a certain viewpoint, they want to go to force.

00:17:17.000 We've talked about this many times on our program.

00:17:19.000 There are two ways that you can organize society.

00:17:23.000 Every government can be put into one of these two buckets: either it's a government that has an emphasis on speech or a government that has an emphasis on force.

00:17:37.000 The left is done talking, they don't want to talk.

00:17:42.000 Instead, they're willing to use armed federal agents to go after moms and dads, like in Cut 54, parents that are speaking out at school board meetings, according to the National School Board Association and your federal government.

00:18:00.000 BLM, they are not domestic terrorists, not even close.

00:18:05.000 The cartel, no memo issued about the cartel.

00:18:09.000 How about gangbangers in inner cities?

00:18:11.000 Nope.

00:18:12.000 No, instead, this is the emphasis and the focus of the people who have the guns.

00:18:19.000 Play Cut 54.

00:18:20.000 In March, my child had to watch a TED Talk in English class, not on anything related to English, but rather oppression and acknowledging privilege.

00:18:28.000 Any parent with a pulse knows that this is wrong.

00:18:32.000 Why has public school become so mired in extremist politics and a permissive culture that seems to celebrate the latest popular fads like gender fluidity? 0.54

00:18:43.000 And we oppose your efforts to impose critical race theory, an overtly racist doctrine that teaches our children to judge and categorize others based solely on the color of their skin.

00:18:57.000 Your government believes that mother is a domestic terrorist.

00:19:02.000 And I have many people asking us, emailing us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:19:07.000 Well, Charlie, what can be done about this?

00:19:11.000 I do have to say that I think Republicans have handled this better than I've seen most issues.

00:19:16.000 Not great.

00:19:16.000 I think a five out of 10.

00:19:19.000 The FBI is completely and totally out of control.

00:19:22.000 The Department of Justice does whatever they want to do.

00:19:25.000 The National School Board Association of America is a major donor to the Democrat Party.

00:19:31.000 We have been calling for school board involvement for years on this program, and no one really seemed that interested in it.

00:19:39.000 But up until recently, because of the graphic sexual education curriculum, masks, the double standard, the vaccine mandates, and then critical race theory, parents started to say, wait a second, these are our kids and our dollars.

00:19:57.000 They don't like that.

00:19:58.000 Questioning authority is met with force, not with explanation.

00:20:05.000 So they need a bailout. 0.53

00:20:07.000 The people that have been indoctrinating our children have asked the federal government for a bailout and a line of protection because they know what they are doing is completely and totally indefensible.

00:20:18.000 You can have a country prioritize force or speech.

00:20:23.000 And the current regime is willing to march armed federal agents into school boards to stop moms and dads from complaining about what's happening at their schools.

00:20:37.000 Hey, everybody, I want you to imagine over 100,000 Americans losing their jobs.

00:20:41.000 Well, you could stop imagining because it's reality, everybody.

00:20:43.000 Since 2015, over 100,000 independent farms and ranches in the United States have shut down.

00:20:48.000 Why?

00:20:49.000 Because foreign meat is stealing their business and robbing you of the quality and flavor you deserve. 1.00

00:20:54.000 China has destroyed the American economy through dumping products, and they've also waged war on American ranchers. 1.00

00:21:00.000 It's time to stick it to China. 0.98

00:21:01.000 And that's what Good Ranchers does so well.

00:21:03.000 They exist to support local American farms that help you make great American meals.

00:21:07.000 Together, they want to restore the American ranch and your meals to the former glory.

00:21:12.000 Get the beef, chicken, and seafood that cannot be imported or matched at goodranchers.com.

00:21:17.000 Did you know that the product of USA TAG has been stolen by foreign countries?

00:21:21.000 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.

00:21:29.000 Over 100,000 independent American farms and ranches have closed since 2015.

00:21:33.000 Good Ranchers is here to put America first at the dinner table and the ranchers that have worked to raise the meat we eat.

00:21:39.000 They send you a box.

00:21:41.000 Everyone listening to this needs to eat and feed their family.

00:23:16.000 I remember sitting, eighth grade class in 2008, and our teacher, I won't say the person's name, was walking us through the Patriot Act.

00:23:31.000 What is the Patriot Act?

00:23:33.000 And is it a good thing or not?

00:23:35.000 I remember having this big discussion.

00:23:37.000 As I look back at kind of my education, it's kind of interesting that I grew up in a country where every year our freedoms evaporated more.

00:23:51.000 And so in eighth grade, I remember our teacher walked us through the Patriot Act.

00:23:56.000 And again, they have all these like really silly names, these acronyms.

00:24:00.000 So the Patriot Act is really the uniting and strengthening America by providing appropriate tools required to intercept and obstruct terrorism.

00:24:07.000 USA Patriot Act, they always try to make this kind of an acronym.

00:24:12.000 Kind of over that whole thing, to be honest.

00:24:14.000 It's a little, it's too cute by a mile, if you ask me.

00:24:17.000 I remember, though, that basically the way the teacher framed it was that if you're a Democrat, you're against the Patriot Act, but if you are a Republican, you are for the Patriot Act.

00:24:29.000 And so I was more conservative than not as an eighth grader.

00:24:32.000 I loved the country and I was tired of my teachers telling me America was terrible.

00:24:35.000 So I felt this kind of need to go put on the team right jersey and defend something that kind of felt kind of weird at the time, quite honestly.

00:24:43.000 But you're in eighth grade.

00:24:44.000 There's not the.

00:24:45.000 And by the way, back in eighth grade, I had not yet discovered Rush Limbaugh.

00:24:50.000 And kind of the full extent of my kind of political philosophy was just kind of reading whatever conservative books they had, which I think was like a biography on George W. Bush.

00:25:01.000 So that was about, that was about the extent of what my school had as far as conservative literature.

00:25:06.000 There's hardly a hardly the sort of incredible access to information that eighth graders have now today, where they have podcasts like ours, the Charlie Kirk show, they have Trucker Carlson, they have an incredible amount of library of content, all the work we're doing at Turning Point USA.

00:25:27.000 Didn't have any of that when I was in eighth grade.

00:25:29.000 We didn't have smartphones when I was in eighth grade.

00:25:32.000 No one had cell phones.

00:25:32.000 It was great.

00:25:33.000 It's terrific.

00:25:34.000 We should go back to that.

00:25:35.000 Smartphones have largely ruined our country.

00:25:39.000 And so I remember, though, talking about the Patriot Act, and some student, some classmate of mine asked a really wise question.

00:25:48.000 And he was actually not a very wise person, ended up being kind of a failure at life, at least as things stand today.

00:25:54.000 But the way he asked the question was so good, he raised his hand.

00:25:56.000 He said, What's to prevent who's ever in control of government from using this against their political opponents?

00:26:04.000 And I remember my teacher in eighth grade saying, Oh, that will never happen.

00:26:07.000 We have a constitution for that.

00:26:08.000 And that was the end of the discussion.

00:26:10.000 And again, it's not my teacher's fault.

00:26:11.000 You know, it's not for them to answer it.

00:26:13.000 But then every time this idea of domestic surveillance came up, team right, the people on the conservative side, we always felt the need to try and defend this vast security apparatus where it was not constitutional.

00:26:32.000 It was definitely never well explained.

00:26:34.000 And you have people like Lindsey Graham who love the Patriot Act, who just live to make sure the Patriot Act exists.

00:26:42.000 But then the Tea Party movement comes, and there's kind of this resurgence of the love of the United States Constitution.

00:26:51.000 And as the Tea Party movement kind of accelerated, all of a sudden you started to have more elected officials like Rand Paul and Ron Paul before him, who was in Congress for quite some time, asked questions: who are we spying on?

00:27:11.000 What's actually in the Patriot Act?

00:27:13.000 So I thought it would be helpful as we are now entertaining, using the Patriot Act against parents, what actually is in the Patriot Act?

00:27:25.000 Expanded surveillance abilities of law enforcement, including wiretapping your communications and phones, increased penalties for terrorism crimes, and expanded list of activities that would qualify for terrorism charges.

00:27:40.000 You hear that?

00:27:42.000 Then, if you speak out at a school board meeting, what if they're able to fit the Patriot Act criminal code into you being a potential threat against the country?

00:27:56.000 Eased interagency communication to allow federal agencies to more effectively use all available resources in counter-terrorism units efforts, I should say.

00:28:08.000 So, you go through all of this, you realize every provision of the Patriot Act, this is an unprecedented expansion of the security state.

00:28:19.000 This should not even be a controversial issue amongst conservatives, especially after Donald Trump was spied on illegally using the very apparatus that was established thanks to the Foreign Domestic Surveillance Act or the foreign, the FISA court of a president, a person that was running for president, was president-elected United States, that is spied on by his own government.

00:28:43.000 In the enhanced surveillance procedures, which is Title II of the Patriot Act, it basically says that there are these packet switch networks or the Electronic Privacy Information Center or EPIC that exists, and this creation of a domestic spy agency on you.

00:29:05.000 Now, all of this was suspected until a man who I consider him to be a very complicated person.

00:29:13.000 Some people say, is he a hero?

00:29:14.000 Is he a villain?

00:29:16.000 Neither.

00:29:17.000 I think he's a mixture of both.

00:29:19.000 But I think he definitely did some good for exposing it.

00:29:22.000 All of this would be unsubstantiated conspiracy theory conjecture if it wasn't for Edward Snowden.

00:29:30.000 Do I think Edward Snowden should have fled to Russia and leaked potentially sensitive information that could put people's lives in danger?

00:29:40.000 No.

00:29:42.000 Do I think that Edward Snowden, however, to use the counterargument against it, had to leak this information as broadly as possible to try to give people the information so that they could actually understand the leviathan of the security state?

00:29:58.000 Maybe.

00:30:00.000 And so you go through the details of the United States Patriot Act, and then you see the National School Board Association calling on the federal government, Merrick Garland, agreeing.

00:30:10.000 And Rand Paul and Ron Paul have been warning against this abuse for quite some time that it will just be a matter of time before this security apparatus will be used against political dissidents.

00:30:23.000 And we saw a preview of that with Donald Trump.

00:30:27.000 We saw a little bit of a coming attraction trailer.

00:30:33.000 They will not be able to help themselves, but to use the power of the federal government to try to crush you.

00:30:41.000 Play Cut 71.

00:30:43.000 Made phone calls, and all there's Senator Rand Paul once again having a filibuster moment, leading a 10-hour talk-a-thon against renewal of key provisions of the Patriot Act.

00:30:54.000 And I will not let the Patriot Act, the most unpatriotic of acts, go unchallenged.

00:31:01.000 So the American people say, enough's enough.

00:31:03.000 We want our privacy protected.

00:31:04.000 The bulk collection must end.

00:31:08.000 And I think we have the votes to do it now.

00:31:11.000 Rand Paul was ridiculed, mocked, never taken seriously.

00:31:15.000 But why am I playing all of this?

00:31:17.000 Because the government only has the ability to spy on parents because Republicans gave them that ability.

00:31:25.000 Rand Paul tried to stop this.

00:31:28.000 Rand Paul and a couple others, Mike Lee, and bizarrely enough, Bernie Sanders, I think, was a huge critic of the Patriot Act, which always kind of perplexes me, where it's like, oh, yeah, we want government to do everything for you.

00:31:43.000 And by the way, we're really worried about government overreach.

00:31:45.000 I said, if you're so worried about government overreach, why do you want the government to run your health care, your schools?

00:31:52.000 And, you know, Tucker Carlson said last night, he said, any rational or thinking person that used to be for the Patriot Act and now looks at what it's become should call for the total and complete repeal of it.

00:32:06.000 But that's not going to happen anytime soon.

00:32:08.000 Because most, almost all Democrats, except a couple, but almost all Republicans are equally tied to the intelligence agencies.

00:32:18.000 Look really carefully and closely at your elected official.

00:32:22.000 Are they calling for the FBI, the FISA courts, and for the Patriot Act to be repealed?

00:32:29.000 Because they see what's happening right now.

00:32:31.000 And they see that if you espouse a certain political viewpoint, then they're coming after you.

00:32:39.000 Look, I often talk about the crushing debt and lack of jobs that come with the broken college system in our country and how entering a trade or vocational school can provide great career opportunities where your skills will always be in demand.

00:32:53.000 I want to talk to you about the American Institute of Non-Destructive Testing.

00:32:58.000 If you go to trainingndt.com, that's trainingndt.com, you can learn how to have an opportunity to work in industries such as aerospace, oil, gas, nuclear, and alternative energy as a technician performing critical inspections that make our world a safer place.

00:33:14.000 The American Institute of Non-Destructive Testing provides 93% job placement, and graduates enjoy a starting wage of about $50,000 a year.

00:33:23.000 You can earn $60,000, $70,000, or even $80,000 yearly within a couple years as a technician.

00:33:28.000 Their program consists of six months online education followed by three weeks at the American Institute campus using state-of-the-art inspection equipment such as ultrasonics, capturing x-rays, and producing magnetic fields to inspect critical components to ensure their safety and reliability.

00:33:42.000 If you're looking for a career shift or if you are in high school and you're not sure what you want to do, I want you to know that Don Booth, the CEO, is a patriot and his whole team cares deeply about the future of every graduate.

00:33:54.000 Go to trainingndt.com to learn about this exciting and rewarding career.

00:33:58.000 Check it out, everybody.

00:34:02.000 Check it out.

00:34:02.000 It's a wonderful program, trainingndt.com.

00:34:09.000 All right, everybody, I just want to clear the air a little bit here.

00:34:12.000 I was kidding about the Dodgers thing.

00:34:14.000 I don't actually pray for their defeat.

00:34:16.000 I hope for their defeat.

00:34:17.000 We're getting some people emailing us.

00:34:18.000 Charlie, you should think about your listeners.

00:34:20.000 It's a joke how I get under producer Andrew's skin because he passive aggressively sent me the duck score after they blew the most winnable football game in the history of the planet against the Stanford Cardinal.

00:34:32.000 I love sports.

00:34:33.000 Sports is a lot of fun.

00:34:34.000 Yankees lost yesterday, right?

00:34:36.000 I never liked the Yankees.

00:34:37.000 So that was good.

00:34:38.000 That was good to see.

00:34:40.000 Yeah, I was angry.

00:34:41.000 I'm still angry over that.

00:34:43.000 Chicago White Sox are in the playoffs, though.

00:34:45.000 I actually like the Cubs and the White Sox.

00:34:47.000 I know that's considered heretical in the Chicagoland area because they say, how could you like the Cubs and the White Sox?

00:34:54.000 I like Chicago.

00:34:55.000 All right, I want to close this one point here, which I think is really important.

00:35:00.000 Let's go to Senator Josh Hawley, Cut 50 on Tucker Carlson, discussing the Department of Justice being weaponized against concerned parents.

00:35:06.000 Let me just say, as our last two stops, this is all such perfect timing.

00:35:10.000 At Turning Point USA, we did our campus stop at Mitt University, Michigan and University of Minnesota Mankato.

00:35:17.000 And the parents that showed up, it's mostly students, but there are some people from the community that show up to these events.

00:35:23.000 The amount of concern and worry that they now have that the federal government is going to be criminalizing their speech, it's intentional.

00:35:29.000 The Biden regime knows that what these parents are doing is legal, but instead they want to instill paranoia.

00:35:36.000 They want to instill the sword of Damocles.

00:35:39.000 I'm going to tell you what the sword of Damocles is.

00:35:43.000 It's a story from thousands of years ago, which is exactly what Joe Biden wants us to believe and operate.

00:35:51.000 Let's play Josh Hawley first, and I'll tell you about the sword of Damocles.

00:35:55.000 Well, you could imagine, Tucker, some things that FBI agents could be doing, like maybe going to the border where we have an unprecedented surge of crime, of illegal immigration, of drug smuggling.

00:36:05.000 But no, instead, we're going to go after parents.

00:36:07.000 I mean, can I just say, you know, that you've lost the argument when you are sending FBI agents to try and silence voting, taxpaying parents, trying to silence them.

00:36:18.000 I mean, I can't think of an instance in American history when anything like this has happened before.

00:36:22.000 It's another first for Joe Biden, and it's a bad one.

00:36:25.000 And so what they want you to believe is that there is a sword hanging by a thread above your existence.

00:36:35.000 So this sword of Damocles was a parable, and it became a motif in medieval literature.

00:36:43.000 And basically, this is the quote from Cicero, who was a one-year Roman consul who was phenomenal.

00:36:49.000 He was actually killed right near the time of Julius Caesar's death.

00:36:53.000 And Julius Caesar had this beautiful quote where he said, the more laws, the less justice.

00:36:59.000 The founding fathers loved Cicero.

00:37:02.000 But Cicero wrote about the tale of Damocles and represented the idea that those in power always labor under the specter of anxiety and death, and that, quote, there can be no happiness for the one who is under constant apprehensions.

00:37:20.000 And so every man, woman, and child who lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or madness.

00:37:34.000 That was a speech that John F. Kennedy gave to the United Nations back in 1961, talking about nuclear weapons.

00:37:42.000 But essentially, if you get the visual, there's like the sword hanging from the ceiling by a thread, and they want every parent who shows up at the school board meeting to be afraid that at any moment that sword could drop from the ceiling and drop on you and metaphorically or possibly end your life by putting you in prison.

00:37:58.000 Let me read this again: that no man can be free under the labor or the anxiety of constant apprehension or penalty.

00:38:09.000 They want people to have nervous glances of the blade dangling above them, worried that the FBI is going to come marching in at 3 o'clock in the morning of their home because they dared complained about critical race theory.

00:38:24.000 They know what they're doing.

00:38:26.000 They want you to be afraid.

00:38:28.000 Don't be.

00:38:29.000 They don't have as much power as they pretend to have.

00:38:32.000 Do you think we should abolish South Dakota?

00:38:35.000 Now, many of you probably driving right now or listening in either North or South Dakota, you say, what on earth are you talking about?

00:38:41.000 What kind of crazy conjecture is that? 0.94

00:38:43.000 Well, the new republic, which is the new repugnant, repugnant, it's a these, these are, it's kind of like the Atlantic, but a little bit more vulgar.

00:38:57.000 Yeah, we'd say a little bit more vulgar than the Atlantic, where they kind of float these ideas and some of them actually become policy eventually.

00:39:07.000 Obviously, this idea is mildly unrealistic, but it also is very revealing.

00:39:13.000 I like focusing on some of these stories at times because you can realize what these people are saying in their private text messages because they decide they then write articles about it.

00:39:23.000 And this goes to show that not only do they believe that the middle part of our country are deplorables, that they are the smelly Walmart people, they are quite honestly, what was the last word that?

00:39:39.000 Irredeemable.

00:39:40.000 That's what Hillary Clinton said. 1.00

00:39:41.000 But they actually want to abolish statehood for South Dakota.

00:39:46.000 Here is the title of the story.

00:39:52.000 South Dakota is a moral sewer and should be abolished.

00:40:00.000 The other Dakota is a make-believe state devoted to the preservation of wealth dynasties, and it should just go away.

00:40:10.000 And so you're diving into this story.

00:40:12.000 It goes into some history about how the French stole South Dakota in 1743.

00:40:18.000 After that, America, you know, because we bought in the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, we were able to include the 828,000 square miles that were sold to Thomas Jefferson.

00:40:35.000 And allegedly, no one paid much attention to North or South Dakota.

00:40:38.000 But this really kind of goes to the question of self-government.

00:40:42.000 We're doing our program right now from Minnesota, which neighbors South Dakota and North Dakota.

00:40:49.000 Why does statehood matter?

00:40:52.000 Why not just make one big state that is Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, make that all one state?

00:41:00.000 Why divide it into five separate states?

00:41:03.000 Well, despite the obvious reason where you form a government for the purpose of managing your land, your people, and your fellow countrymen, is that local government is, in many different instances, far superior to a national federalized system.

00:41:27.000 That the decentralization of power has actually kept America more free.

00:41:31.000 I want you to imagine what America would look like if there was only one Dakota, no Nebraska, no Kansas, no Wyoming, no Montana.

00:41:39.000 What would the United States Senate look like right now?

00:41:43.000 Now, some people accuse me of making a nakedly partisan argument when I say that.

00:41:47.000 Let's forget partisanship for a second.

00:41:49.000 Let's just talk philosophy.

00:41:51.000 The founding fathers believe that there must be an intentional and deliberate balance between the rural and urban aspects of American society.

00:42:03.000 James Madison famously said that urban life will be prone to rumor with a spice of madness, that it's the farmer, the agrarian, and the rural worker and community that is intentional, deliberate, prudent, patient, an understanding of what it takes to be a citizen of a great nation.

00:42:30.000 The less rural America has been the last 30 or 40 years, the more secular we have become, the more dangerous our society has become, and dare I say, the less free we have actually become.

00:42:44.000 And so, an emphasis of a balance between the people of Manhattan and the people of Rapid City, South Dakota is moral and it's necessary.

00:42:53.000 Now, the left doesn't like this, which is why they have wrote this article for the new republic.

00:42:58.000 We must abolish South Dakota altogether.

00:43:03.000 Meaning, we don't like what South Dakota is doing, and we really don't like the fact that South Dakota gets representatives in Washington, D.C.

00:43:10.000 I mean, that's just a waste of time.

00:43:12.000 They're making the political argument.

00:43:15.000 They don't like the fact that a state like South Dakota or North Dakota has a say.

00:43:20.000 Now, interestingly enough, they never want to abolish statehood for Vermont or Rhode Island that have similar and comparable population totals.

00:43:30.000 What's the population of Vermont?

00:43:31.000 650,000?

00:43:33.000 Population of Rhode Island?

00:43:35.000 I think it might be a little over a million, but it is by far the smallest state.

00:43:39.000 I mean, you look at Rhode Island.

00:43:41.000 Rhode Island easily could be absorbed by Massachusetts, like easily, without even a question.

00:43:46.000 So, why statehood for Rhode Island?

00:43:48.000 Which, by the way, if you go back into American history, Rhode Island was always, alongside South Carolina for different reasons, the most disagreeable territory and state and colony.

00:44:01.000 In fact, many of the founding fathers used to call Rhode Island rogue island.

00:44:06.000 Rhode Island was the last state to begrudgingly and reluctantly ratify the United States Constitution.

00:44:15.000 So, Vermont's population is 623,000.

00:44:18.000 Rhode Island's 1 million people.

00:44:22.000 What is South Dakota and North Dakota?

00:44:23.000 We're getting the numbers right there.

00:44:25.000 So, interestingly, the new republic decides to write a story literally, and I'm not kidding you.

00:44:30.000 The title says, South Dakota must be abolished.

00:44:35.000 Get rid of it. 0.97

00:44:37.000 Just wipe it off the face of the earth.

00:44:39.000 It's in the way of our revolutionary aims and objectives, and South Dakota must be targeted.

00:44:44.000 Yet, South Dakota has a population of 884,000 people.

00:44:49.000 So, South Dakota has more people than Vermont, yet they want to abolish South Dakota, not Vermont.

00:44:54.000 Why?

00:44:56.000 It's because they want the senator seats. 0.98

00:44:58.000 That's why.

00:44:59.000 So, if you take the population of Rhode Island and Vermont and the population of South Dakota and North Dakota, it's almost an identical number.

00:45:06.000 It's about 1.5, 1.6 million.

00:45:09.000 Meanwhile, Delaware has a population of 973,000 people.

00:45:14.000 This is exactly why they want statehood for Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.

00:45:18.000 And they want to get rid of statehood for South Dakota.

00:45:22.000 You see, a federal compact as it is today means that you must have independent sovereign statehood before you can get accepted into the United States Senate and you can send representatives into Washington, D.C.

00:45:35.000 This is one of my biggest complaints right now with Republicans: the misunderstanding of the constitutional tradition.

00:45:42.000 Why don't we break California into a couple different states? 0.99

00:45:44.000 36 million people, way too many people.

00:45:46.000 How about New York?

00:45:47.000 Why don't we break New York into four or five different states?

00:45:49.000 I'd actually be for all these things, by the way.

00:45:51.000 I think the more you break up some of these states that are far too big and incredibly overpopulated-not overpopulated in the sense that they have too many people, but I think that they're weighted in the sense that Manhattan rules the rest of New York.

00:46:05.000 Why is that fair?

00:46:07.000 Why is that equitable?

00:46:10.000 But it's, of course, up to the states to be able to appropriate their own boundaries, their own lines, because the way the American system works, which the new republic refuses to acknowledge, the progressive publication that basically wants power and an acceleration of America's decline to usher in exactly what remains to be seen, is that decentralization gets in their way.

00:46:37.000 Woodrow Wilson, who was basically the first legitimate anti-American president in American history, we spent a lot of time on Woodrow Wilson.

00:46:45.000 He was president of Princeton University, the only PhD to ever become president of the United States, the only doctor ever to become president, one of America's worst presidents, passed the income tax, the Federal Reserve Act, and also got rid of the direct election of senators.

00:46:59.000 Woodrow Wilson said one aspect of the American system frustrated him, frustrated him more than any other: separation of powers.

00:47:08.000 He hated it.

00:47:10.000 He said, there is no reason why if we have consensus and we know what we want, why should we have to separate power?

00:47:16.000 So, why did the founders do that?

00:47:19.000 Well, the founders intentionally separated power because they knew that, as Lord Acton said, and many of you can repeat this quote, but repetition is the soul of memory, that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

00:47:29.000 That one man controlling too much is not good for anyone.

00:47:33.000 That the soul gets corrupted.

00:47:34.000 Therefore, separation of powers paired with checks and balances, independent judiciary, and the consent of the governed.

00:47:39.000 The four aspects of the American constitutional system put together make things slow and deliberate and intentionally difficult to revolutionize the country.

00:47:48.000 And guess what?

00:47:49.000 South Dakota stands in the way, and so does North Dakota.

00:47:52.000 The fact that Dakotas have statehood, sovereignty, which pre-existed their entrance into the federal government, South Dakota is not getting abolished anytime soon, despite the wishes of the left.

00:48:06.000 Hey, everybody, there's so much going on in the world.

00:48:08.000 And whether it's stuff you're excited about or things that you don't want to think about, like everything that comes out of Joe Biden's mouth, you can't always control what's going on out there, but you can control what's going on in your head as far as what you're listening to with a pair of Raycon wireless earbuds in your ears.

00:48:26.000 My Raycons have traveled all over the country.

00:48:29.000 In fact, Mikey on our team is an incredibly avid and passionate Raycon fan.

00:48:35.000 In fact, this came up the other day, and he just started saying, Do you understand how good Raycon earbuds are?

00:48:40.000 And I just said, Tell me more.

00:48:41.000 It was really fascinating.

00:48:42.000 I agreed, of course, because wherever you use them, they work really well.

00:48:46.000 Whether you wind down, work, or work out, Raycons are my go-to and Mikey's go-to for on-the-go audio.

00:48:54.000 And the new everyday earbuds look, feel, and sound better than ever with an improved rubber oil look, feel, and optimized gel tips, the perfect in-your-fit.

00:49:03.000 They're impressive before you even start listening.

00:49:06.000 You get three new sound profiles to make sure everything you're listening to sounds its best with just the right amount of bass.

00:49:13.000 They have the pure mode, the balanced mode, and the bass mode.

00:49:17.000 And there's also an all-new awareness mode where you need to listen to your surroundings around you.

00:49:22.000 Maybe you're boarding a plane and you do eventually, once you get on the plane, you could turn it on to kind of the total sound out mode, but maybe you need to listen when you're boarding all the announcements.

00:49:31.000 But here, here's the thing: Raycon offers eight hours of playtime and 32 hours of battery life.

00:49:39.000 There's also built-in mic, and you could take your calls and your earbuds at the press of a button.

00:49:44.000 Raycons start at half the price of other premium and audio brands, but they sound just as good.

00:49:49.000 And Raycons come with a 45-day happiness guarantee.

00:49:53.000 Right now, Kirk listeners can get 15% off their Raycon order at buyraycon.com/slash Kirk.

00:50:00.000 That's buyraycon.com/slash Kirk.

00:50:02.000 At Raycons, it's to save 15% off Raycons, buyraycon.com/slash Kirk.

00:50:10.000 There's kind of this platforming of the Scandinavian countries that so many people on the left participate in.

00:50:17.000 I think there's some things that Sweden and Denmark get right.

00:50:21.000 At least up until recently, Sweden and Denmark had some of the most sane immigration policies on the planet: that you must speak the language, love the country.

00:50:29.000 We're not going to open up our borders to everyone.

00:50:31.000 That has changed recently since the Syrian refugee crisis.

00:50:34.000 Denmark doesn't have a minimum wage.

00:50:36.000 Sweden has full school choice.

00:50:38.000 Sweden also, I think, handled the Fauci virus and the Chinese coronavirus better than any other country that I can think of, refusing the lockdown, trusting their citizens to make good choices, and let's say rejecting the lockdowns in more ways than one.

00:50:57.000 But still, the American left wants to talk about Sweden and Denmark.

00:51:00.000 But did you know, breaking today, Sweden and Denmark have halted Moderna's Chinese coronavirus shot or vaccine for younger people.

00:51:11.000 The Swedish watchdog cites increased risk of heart inflammation.

00:51:17.000 This is from Bloomberg.com.

00:51:20.000 So if the Moderna shot is unacceptable for people under 30 because of a heart risk, well, then the Pfizer shot should be too.

00:51:27.000 They are effectively the same product.

00:51:29.000 far more alike than they are different.

00:51:31.000 And the primary difference is dosage.

00:51:35.000 And Pfizer shows very significant myocarditis increased risk too.

00:51:40.000 And remember, this problem was first seen in Israel where Pfizer was only used in Israel.

00:51:46.000 Now, Governor Gavin Nussalini, Governor Gavin Newsom of California, has come out and he says, I want all the children to be vaccinated.

00:51:56.000 Well, tragically, a 15-year-old, because of Governor Newsom's order, has now died.

00:52:04.000 This is according to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office.

00:52:07.000 Police in Sonoma County, California are blaming the Pfizer vaccine.

00:52:12.000 This is the police that are blaming the vaccine, everybody, for causing the sudden death of a Santa Rosa teenager.

00:52:20.000 And by the way, this is all verified.

00:52:22.000 This is not conjecture.

00:52:23.000 This is not speculation.

00:52:25.000 The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office report shows a determination was made by a medical examiner that the 15-year-old was found dead in his bedroom two days after the second jab and suffered a, quote, stress, cardiomyopathy, and coronary artery inflammation.

00:52:46.000 All of this is verified.

00:52:48.000 So Governor Gavin Newsom comes out and he mandates the vaccine for children and school-aged children.

00:52:53.000 Meanwhile, Sweden and Denmark say, timeout, no more vaccinating kids with Moderna.

00:52:58.000 And now we have a 15-year-old dead in Sonoma County.

00:53:01.000 Add that to the list of thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of other adverse events that we know are pouring in.

00:53:07.000 And now a new California study comes out and shows that vaccinated individuals are more susceptible to the COVID variant than unvaccinated.

00:53:19.000 We're going to post this on charliekirk.com because whenever I mention these studies, we get floods of emails.

00:53:24.000 But this is from medrxiv.org.

00:53:28.000 And very, very credible website.

00:53:32.000 It's not some sort of fringe blog.

00:53:34.000 And we want to make sure we get this up.

00:53:37.000 And it says, in addition, the frequence, in addition, the increase in the frequency of more antibody-resistant strains in the population correlates with the increase in the frequency of the population in the vaccination in the population.

00:53:51.000 And by the way, just so you know, Sonoma County has zero pediatric COVID deaths, but now they have at least one vaccine-related death.

00:53:59.000 So we are going to post this study.

00:54:01.000 It's a legitimate medical journal.

00:54:03.000 It's not some sort of fringe thing that can be ignored.

00:54:07.000 More vaccinations mean that more resistant strains emerge.

00:54:12.000 And natural immunity, which you're not even allowed to say, has been proven even by Pfizer's own admission, caught on camera by James O'Keefe's Project Veritas, to be the ideal way to protect yourself and inoculate yourself against the Chinese coronavirus.

00:54:31.000 So James O'Keefe from Project Veritas, he just does not stop.

00:54:35.000 It's amazing the operation he has there.

00:54:38.000 I think James O'Keefe, he has stolen more hours of sleep from the ruling class than I think any other person in recent memory.

00:54:49.000 James O'Keefe has another story.

00:54:52.000 It's a fourth of the vaccine.

00:54:54.000 Just to kind of recap everything James O'Keefe has released.

00:54:57.000 The first was the HHS story, which was a bombshell story that shows that the doctors within our own federal government are admitting the vaccine is causing side effects.

00:55:10.000 No one's actually using the vaccine adverse event reporting system database as they say they should be.

00:55:18.000 He then revealed Johnson and Johnson.

00:55:20.000 He now has Pfizer.

00:55:24.000 So James O'Keefe then decided to confront the Pfizer scientists after the Pfizer video previously that we played yesterday, where the Pfizer scientists said that natural immunity is far superior and that, quote, Pfizer is just getting COVID money.

00:55:39.000 I'm paraphrasing.

00:55:39.000 That's the essence of it, wasn't it?

00:55:40.000 It was that Pfizer is just getting COVID money.

00:55:42.000 I'm sick to my stomach working for this company.

00:55:45.000 James O'Keefe confronted the Pfizer scientists, PlayCut 75.

00:55:49.000 Hey, Nick, is this taken?

00:55:52.000 Yes.

00:55:53.000 You work for Pfizer, don't you?

00:55:55.000 Ooh, you're on not doing this.

00:55:57.000 You're a scientist at Pfizer.

00:55:58.000 Dude, do not.

00:55:59.000 Absolutely not.

00:56:00.000 What are you doing right now?

00:56:02.000 So you're on camera saying that the antibodies, if you've had COVID, are better at that point than your vaccination.

00:56:07.000 Would you like to see any of this?

00:56:08.000 Are you kidding me right now?

00:56:10.000 I'm not kidding you.

00:56:10.000 You are on camera explaining.

00:56:12.000 Anything about me?

00:56:14.000 Well, here's a video of you talking.

00:56:16.000 You work for Pfizer.

00:56:18.000 Sir.

00:56:19.000 James O'Keefe's a professional.

00:56:21.000 He keeps himself calm throughout the entire thing.

00:56:23.000 Of course, Pfizer doesn't want to be confronted about it.

00:56:26.000 The Pfizer money printing drug company that has harmed so many lives and has, and Republicans continue to take money from Pfizer.

00:56:36.000 Actually, let's look at that.

00:56:38.000 I'm actually interested.

00:56:39.000 And you'd be amazed at how many people in conservative media are friendly with people that are kind of in the Pfizer orbit, if you will, that are kind of friendly with Pfizer in general.

00:56:54.000 I'm just looking right here.

00:56:55.000 The RNC, the National Republican Senatorial Committee all took six-figure donations from Pfizer.

00:57:03.000 Pfizer gave 43% to Republicans, 53% to Democrats.

00:57:09.000 Whenever you see that, whenever you see any sort of company giving like near 50-50, you know that they're not giving because they're so enthralled and excited about that person's vision for the country.

00:57:20.000 It's investment.

00:57:21.000 It's like a NASCAR sponsorship.

00:57:23.000 Let's just get our name on the car and they won't insult us and they won't come after us.

00:57:29.000 So we now look at some of the people within the House of Representatives and the people that are actually in the highest levels of government.

00:57:44.000 And you start to realize that Pfizer is controlling alongside AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson.

00:57:50.000 It's not alone.

00:57:51.000 It's taking massive amounts of money.

00:57:55.000 And I can go through some of the names, Tom Tillis, Mitch McConnell.

00:57:59.000 Obviously, James Lankford takes money from Pfizer.

00:58:05.000 I don't know why Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise would take money from Pfizer.

00:58:08.000 They should return it immediately.

00:58:10.000 But, you know, I will say, though, a lot of these people, they will stop as soon as we confront them because Republican voters have never cared before because they never really understood the flow of money from the pharmaceutical companies into the pockets of politicians.

00:58:23.000 Lindsey Graham takes money from Pfizer.

00:58:25.000 Not surprising.

00:58:27.000 Tim Scott takes money from Pfizer.

00:58:30.000 Not shocking.

00:58:32.000 So now the BBC, the British Broadcasting Cooperation, has come out and they are trying to, they're asking a question.

00:58:39.000 They have launched a new documentary, a new production, because they're wondering why so many young people are dying from undiagnosed heart conditions.

00:58:50.000 Dubbed a sudden death risk for runners like me.

00:58:56.000 Now, we are one of the few podcasting programs, not the only one.

00:58:59.000 There are some phenomenal other ones that have been willing to kind of say, Hey, you do realize that there's a sudden spike in myocarditis, that we've received thousands of emails of people that have dropped dead after getting the vaccine.

00:59:09.000 And what are we told that we are conspiracy theorists, fear mongers, you're not allowed to talk about any of this?

00:59:13.000 But now, the BBC, the British Broadcasting Corporation, is launching a production saying, Why are so many young people dying from undiagnosed heart conditions?

00:59:23.000 Play Cut 79.

00:59:25.000 It's Jam O'Reilly.

00:59:27.000 At 16 years old, I was diagnosed with a heart condition, which means I have to be really careful with my health.

00:59:33.000 Activities such as running could be dangerous, potentially causing sudden death for someone like me.

00:59:39.000 And I am not alone.

00:59:42.000 They found out that I had an undiagnosed heart condition that could easily send my pulse to over 250 beats per minute.

00:59:51.000 Jim's heart condition nearly killed him after going on a bike ride.

00:59:56.000 Obviously, you can only speculate so far as causation and correlation, but it's certainly interesting that the activist press overseas is asking, why are so many young people having these sort of heart problems, especially after we go on a massive inoculation campaign, forced vaccination campaign?

01:00:18.000 And we already mentioned that the police in Sonoma County are blaming the Pfizer vaccine for causing the sudden death of a Santa Rosa team, 15 years old, from a coronary artery inflammation.

01:00:32.000 We also obviously talked about the Northwestern student, the young black girl.

01:00:36.000 She died with the same sort of symptoms back in May, right after getting the COVID vaccine.

01:00:45.000 Is America coming closer to a place of harmony or a place of permanent conflict?

01:00:54.000 This story is related, which again kind of goes with this mask tyranny that we're living under.

01:01:02.000 It's so incredibly micro-tyranny.

01:01:06.000 Anarcho-tyranny, which is not a phrase that I came up with, I believe it was Sam Francis.

01:01:14.000 Can you double-check that?

01:01:17.000 Who wrote about anarcho-tyranny, which is anarchy for the people that are degenerating society, tyranny for the people that are conserving society?

01:01:28.000 So if you want to do heroin and engage in open sexual activities and not wear clothes on the side of the street, San Francisco is okay with that.

01:01:35.000 That is fine.

01:01:37.000 But if you want to, Samuel Todd Francis, thank you.

01:01:41.000 But if you want to open up your church, or if you dare misgender somebody, you will be immediately arrested by the regime.

01:01:52.000 It's very interesting.

01:01:53.000 Before reading this kind of term that I did not come up with, anarcho-tyranny, I did independently come to this conclusion with a separate word.

01:02:01.000 It wasn't as good.

01:02:02.000 It was, I can't even remember the word.

01:02:04.000 It was like anarcho-authoritarianism, whatever it was.

01:02:06.000 Because I remember walking the streets of San Francisco a couple years ago.

01:02:10.000 And as I was walking the streets, it was like three, four years ago, walking the streets of San Francisco, as I had to keep on walking, like literally avoiding the homeless people and the broken windows.

01:02:21.000 I realized right then and there that according to California statute, that if I misgender one of these homeless people that are shooting up with heroin on the side of the streets, that I could be criminally penalized.

01:02:31.000 And I said, wow.

01:02:33.000 It's not that they're against state power.

01:02:34.000 It's that they want to use state power against the people that they really don't like.

01:02:39.000 Well, in Cut 78, because of all of this nonsense, a man gets kicked off the plane after pleading to stay on the plane for having a mask below his nose and saying that it will never happen again.

01:02:51.000 This wasn't an anti-masker, someone who was defiant.

01:02:55.000 But no, they had to make an example out of him because he had his mask below the nose. 0.99

01:02:59.000 Genocidal maniac. 0.61

01:03:01.000 Play Cut 78. 0.99

01:03:02.000 I'm sorry.

01:03:03.000 Never going to happen again.

01:03:04.000 Please.

01:03:05.000 I'm so sorry.

01:03:07.000 Please.

01:03:07.000 Good time.

01:03:08.000 She has to be some time.

01:03:09.000 I'm just being making cameras.

01:03:10.000 Okay, never gonna look up again.

01:03:13.000 Please.

01:03:19.000 I promise.

01:03:20.000 I really promise that's never gonna happen again.

01:03:23.000 Pleading that it will never happen again, pleading for mercy from the airlines.

01:03:27.000 Meanwhile, Rashida Talib, congresswoman from Michigan, who is another ingrate, someone who absolutely hates the country, her and Elon Omar make quite a team.

01:03:40.000 Rashida Talib opens up and she said, look, I only wear a mask for the cameras because I have a Republican track around me.

01:03:46.000 Play cut 77.

01:03:51.000 Oh, I thought you were like, oh, he's one unmasked guy.

01:03:54.000 Because I got a Republican tracker.

01:03:59.000 Thank you for coming out.

01:04:00.000 I only wear a mask for the cameras.

01:04:02.000 Now, where is the opposition party?

01:04:04.000 Where are Republicans that are standing up against the forced vaccinations, the mask tyranny?

01:04:11.000 Well, Lindsey Graham was asked that question from the crowd, and he started to try to justify the COVID vaccine.

01:04:18.000 And then as soon as he was confronted, he made a 180 and said the government shouldn't be mandating vaccines.

01:04:24.000 This is what it takes, everybody.

01:04:25.000 You have to be clear and courageous and get up to your elected officials and ask them, why are you allowing this to happen?

01:04:32.000 Play cut 64.

01:04:34.000 I think it's the truth.

01:04:35.000 The truth is that unvaccinated.

01:04:38.000 I'm going to lose my job in 60 days.

01:04:41.000 You've got to stop it now.

01:04:43.000 From who?

01:04:44.000 From the U.S. government.

01:04:46.000 Okay, I'm a veteran too.

01:04:48.000 How many of you have taken Basil's shot?

01:04:54.000 In the military, in the military, they can say you got to get vaccinated. 0.99

01:05:00.000 I think that's a dumb idea. 0.97

01:05:01.000 You know why? 0.99

01:05:02.000 We shouldn't be driving people away from serving.

01:05:06.000 So he makes a 180 throughout it because he realizes his voters and the people that he's actually accountable to are really angry at him for doing nothing.

01:05:16.000 And this voter comes out and says, the U.S. Navy's about to fire me.

01:05:19.000 What are you going to do about that?

01:05:22.000 That's what it's going to take, everybody.

01:05:23.000 We will not change this until the Republican Party becomes a legitimate opposition party and stands up for their voters.

01:05:31.000 You saw that in real time.

01:05:32.000 Lindsey Graham, literally, his weather vane, Lindsey Graham, changed his opinion in 30 seconds.

01:05:38.000 He started to be like, well, who?

01:05:39.000 Who's making you fire?

01:05:39.000 And he's like, well, I don't think that's a good idea.

01:05:41.000 30 seconds or less, he changes his mind.

01:05:43.000 Why?

01:05:43.000 Because people were courageous enough to stand up and say, you don't understand what it's like to have medical choices dictated for you.

01:05:54.000 If the Republican Party stood up together, these measures could be crushed immediately.

01:06:00.000 In the next segment, I'm going to tell you how Republican attorney generals could have ended this vaccine mandate if they would have consolidated their support together.

01:06:08.000 But unfortunately, Attorney General in too many states stands for aspiring governor, and they want pharmaceutical money too.

01:06:19.000 We all know this is happening.

01:06:21.000 The Pelosi Biden regime is destroying our economy with reckless spending.

01:06:25.000 Charlie Kirk here, that's not even worthy of being called news.

01:06:29.000 So what should Americans do to preserve your hard-earned cash?

01:06:34.000 Well, there's an under-the-radar investment the richest people in America use to protect their wealth during times like this.

01:06:41.000 It's one of the oldest and most stable asset classes of all time.

01:06:45.000 And thanks to a new revolutionary tech platform, everyday Americans can finally access it for the first time.

01:06:52.000 You need to buy things that are inflation resistant.

01:06:54.000 So, what is it?

01:06:55.000 High-end art.

01:06:58.000 In fact, contemporary art outperformed other assets like gold, real estate, and the SP 500 by nearly twofold from 1995 to 2020.

01:07:07.000 That's amazing considering this historic bull run we just saw.

01:07:11.000 A lot of people are trying to hedge their portfolios so they have a wait list.

01:07:16.000 But my audience is in great luck.

01:07:18.000 We have a special link to let listeners jump to the front of the line.

01:07:22.000 Buy assets that inflation will not destroy.

01:07:25.000 So go to masterworks.io slash Kirk.

01:07:29.000 That is masterworks.io/slash Kirk.

01:07:33.000 Before deciding to invest, carefully review the important disclosures at masterworks.io slash disclaimer.

01:07:46.000 If the Republican attorney generals would have united together, not just wrote letters, but if they would have said that if any vaccine mandate that would be instituted in their state would be met with investigations of whether or not waivers are being granted.

01:08:02.000 So here's really what should have happened.

01:08:04.000 You know, you take a state, a rather red state, let's just take South Dakota because we've been talking about them a lot.

01:08:09.000 Or how about Wyoming or Nebraska or North Dakota?

01:08:12.000 The Attorney General should have told the population, file as many religious exemptions with your employers as possible.

01:08:18.000 And if they are denied, immediately appeal them to the North Dakota Attorney General's office, and that employer could be investigated for violating religious privacy and medical privacy laws.

01:08:32.000 These employers would back down and they would grant all of the religious celebrity exemptions.

01:08:37.000 If they would have had the fear of the attorney general coming after them, then they would have just backed off.

01:08:45.000 Now, many of the, I just dealt with this.

01:08:47.000 We just got an email from somebody at freedom at charliekirk.com.

01:08:49.000 They said, Charlie, I failed a religious exemption.

01:08:52.000 I was then intimidated with five men that then have a woman employee, literally five men in a room, ask her, Do you take Advil? 0.94

01:09:00.000 What kind of shampoo do you use?

01:09:02.000 You know, what other medicine do you take?

01:09:04.000 Incredible violation of medical privacy of five men asking a young woman what her medication schedule is.

01:09:14.000 Now, could you imagine if five men were doing that and say, do you take birth control?

01:09:19.000 What's your sexual history?

01:09:20.000 I mean, the left would lose their mind.

01:09:23.000 But no, if it comes to a vaccine, all of a sudden you can have five men in a room ask very intimate questions.

01:09:28.000 And I gave her some advice because they were trying to say, well, what kind of shampoo do you use?

01:09:31.000 What kind of, you know, do you use Advil or not?

01:09:34.000 Because those could be against your religious beliefs if they're the ones who determine anyone's religious beliefs.

01:09:39.000 That they very well might have violated state and federal statute of discriminating based on religion for not granting a religious exemption.

01:09:50.000 And that's where these state attorney generals really need to start to step up: is that you have workers and you have citizens that are being penalized and targeted by their employers in these kind of Soviet show trial commissions that have been established, these kind of panels of interrogation.

01:10:16.000 The attorney generals in these states could have prevented a lot of this from happening.

01:10:20.000 I want to give you an idea of how bad this actually is becoming.

01:10:26.000 And so an email right here: Charlie, my granddaughter was born Tuesday, October 5th, 8:30 a.m.

01:10:32.000 She was anemic and needed a blood transfusion. 0.92

01:10:35.000 My local hospital could not do this due to inadequate personnel and qualified doctors.

01:10:39.000 She had to be airlifted to Paloma, California.

01:10:43.000 When her father arrived that evening to see her, he was instructed that he could not enter because he was not vaccinated or had a negative COVID test.

01:10:54.000 He asked for a test and was told they could not do it because it must be scheduled.

01:10:59.000 He was turned away and could not see his newborn daughter.

01:11:04.000 How do we combat this horrific atrocity toward our freedom and our family?

01:11:11.000 It is so disgusting and evil.

01:11:13.000 We get thousands of emails like this, unfortunately, every week. 0.53

01:11:16.000 How about an opposition party?

01:11:18.000 That would be nice.

01:11:19.000 I understand you're in California, you don't have much representation.

01:11:22.000 But it would be terrific if the Republican Party actually started to open their eyes.

01:11:26.000 Like the previous tape we played, Lindsey Graham doesn't even know that military service members are getting kicked out. 0.99

01:11:31.000 Who would possibly make it do that?

01:11:33.000 How about the U.S. Navy, Lindsey Graham? 1.00

01:11:35.000 Oh, really?

01:11:35.000 I didn't know that.

01:11:36.000 No, he's too busy scheduling a ground invasion of Somalia or whatever random country he thinks we need more Marines at or whatever.

01:11:47.000 The Republican Party has abandoned us.

01:11:49.000 We know that.

01:11:50.000 Absent a couple other people.

01:11:52.000 They are uninterested in actually representing their voters.

01:11:54.000 They're too busy taking money from Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, while people's livelihoods and literally their newborn children are being taken away from them and fathers can't visit their children.

01:12:05.000 That's what's happening right now.

01:12:07.000 So we're going to have to start to look to other measures.

01:12:10.000 Hopefully, we have some elected officials like attorney generals and others that start to stand up for their voters.

01:12:16.000 America's increasingly becoming an unstable country.

01:12:20.000 We are becoming an unstable country that is ripe for something that none of us want to live through right now.

01:12:25.000 Where fathers can't see their daughters because they don't have a negative COVID test and they won't even schedule it.

01:12:31.000 I never thought I'd live through this.
