00:00:14.000 Protect yourself against big tech and big brother.

00:00:19.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:20.000 Why is it that we can't talk about the vaccine?

00:00:22.000 And did you know tech companies are censoring conversations around the vaccine?

00:00:27.000 Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:00:30.000 Are you getting the vaccine?

00:00:31.000 Are you taking the vaccine?

00:00:32.000 Are you worried about the vaccine?

00:00:34.000 Or maybe you're very pro-vaccine.

00:00:36.000 I take no stance on that.

00:00:37.000 I'm merely asking questions and wondering why we're not allowed to talk about it.

00:00:41.000 If you'd like to support our program, go to charliekirk.com slash support.

00:00:45.000 And if you'd like to get involved with Turning Point USA, go to tpusa.com.

00:00:48.000 That's tpusa.com.

00:00:52.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:53.000 Here we go.

00:00:54.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:56.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:58.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:02.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:05.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:06.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:07.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:09.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:15.000 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.

00:01:24.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:28.000 Did you know that over 80% of the population is deficient in magnesium, and magnesium is a number one mineral to fight stress, fatigue, and sleep issues?

00:01:34.000 My work schedule has been rather hectic lately, and I'm noticing it's starting to wear me down, even when I'm getting all my workouts in.

00:01:40.000 And in fact, I still feel like I'm stressed.

00:01:42.000 That's why I'm excited to share with you more about a magnesium product I discovered.

00:01:47.000 Magnesium powers over 600 critical reactors in our bodies, but don't just grab any magnesium pill.

00:01:52.000 The one I recommend is magnesium breakthrough because it combines all seven essential forms of magnesium into one convenient supplement.

00:01:59.000 Most magnesium supplements fail because they are synthetic and they're not full spectrum.

00:02:03.000 When you get all seven critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded.

00:02:07.000 With one more simple action, you reverse your magnesium deficiency, fight fatigue, feel more at ease, feel less anxious.

00:02:13.000 This is by far the most complete magnesium product ever created, and I highly recommend it.

00:02:38.000 So a story that I'm more and more interested in that you're not allowed to talk about is this whole idea of forced vaccinations.

00:02:48.000 I'm just more curious about this.

00:02:49.000 So there's this pathological fascination with mass inoculation with mandating people to get the vaccine.

00:03:03.000 And so maybe the vaccine is the right decision for you.

00:03:06.000 Maybe you decided to get the vaccine.

00:03:07.000 Maybe you did your research.

00:03:08.000 You understand that.

00:03:09.000 But then we're not allowed to have any sort of conversation around this at all.

00:03:13.000 This is a no-go zone.

00:03:14.000 And what I've been actually really surprised at is how many conservative pundits and people that have broadcasts and people that are kind of trusted with a big audience, Tucker Carlson being the exception to this, that have totally ignored the story.

00:03:28.000 Now, anytime I ask questions about vaccines, people get super emotional about them in the medical community.

00:03:38.000 Like, how dare you question them?

00:03:40.000 There's no other way to handle issues than mass inoculation.

00:03:44.000 I was just asking a question, such as, are there any downsides?

00:03:48.000 Why is it that there is a vaccine adverse event reporting system set up by our own government?

00:03:55.000 How much has been distributed from that vaccine adverse event reporting system?

00:04:00.000 What are the ingredients of the vaccine?

00:04:05.000 If the ingredients in the vaccine are rooted in mRNA, which is a ribonucleic acid, which is the active ingredient in the vaccine, then what are the mRNA molecules that contain genetic material that provide the instructions to the body on how to make a viral protein that will then trigger the immune response for our bodies?

00:04:29.000 If all that happens, what are the potential adverse reactions to that?

00:04:34.000 I was just with a very good friend of mine, and he was telling a story of how 10 years ago he was having dinner with his son, and his son all of a sudden couldn't get out of the booth they were having dinner in.

00:04:47.000 Basically, loss of function from his waist down.

00:04:50.000 They go immediately to the emergency room, and the first question that the emergency room doctor asks is, oh, has he gotten a vaccine recently?

00:04:57.000 And he said, well, he got the flu shot.

00:05:00.000 And so this is exactly what just happened to Eric Clapton when he got the vaccine, when he himself said that he was having loss of function in his hands and in his feet when he took it.

00:05:13.000 We now know that nine New York Yankees players tested positive for Chinese coronavirus after getting the vaccine.

00:05:22.000 And so I'm just a guy that wants to be told the truth.

00:05:29.000 And when we have decided to have this unbelievable push forward towards inoculating all of civilization, I think we should be given certain assurances.

00:05:40.000 So here's a very basic question.

00:05:42.000 Why is it that so many people that work for the Center for Disease Control and the National Institute of Health have denied the vaccine, rejected it, said they don't want to get vaccinated?

00:05:52.000 That's a really interesting question.

00:05:54.000 Why is no one in the mass media asking that question?

00:05:58.000 And so the more I dive into this, the actual less information I get.

00:06:02.000 And so there's this fascination that we must always trust our experts.

00:06:09.000 What happens when the experts are wrong?

00:06:11.000 So let's just go back in the Wayback Machine one year.

00:06:14.000 Almost everything they've told us about the Chinese coronavirus, from where it originated, to how to handle it, to their backtracking, and then they're now religious further with masks, has been changing or untrue.

00:06:27.000 The opposite of the truth. 0.83

00:06:29.000 For example, let's just take something that's so easy to describe, which is steroids.

00:06:36.000 Steroids, as, and I always travel with steroids because I have a bad back.

00:06:41.000 I take them.

00:06:42.000 I only took them once two years ago.

00:06:45.000 But steroids will get your muscles to lay off.

00:06:48.000 So for me, I have an L4L5 problem in the lower back issue.

00:06:51.000 Thankfully, thanks to a lift in my shoe, I've been able to fix a lot of those issues.

00:06:57.000 And thanks to a specific doctor in Florida.

00:07:02.000 And so essentially what happens is the jelly donut, which is the disc in my vertebra, will go, will leave its natural position and go up against a sciatic nerve.

00:07:13.000 And my muscles will then tense up and it's very, very painful, shooting down the left side of my body.

00:07:19.000 Now, you might ask, how did I get that?

00:07:20.000 I used to run 15 miles a day, was a little bit too committed to that different story for a different time.

00:07:26.000 But steroids work really, really well.

00:07:29.000 Steroids get those muscles to relax and it gives your body a little bit of a breather.

00:07:34.000 Now, of course, they're artificial intervention, obviously, but we know much more about how steroids operate than some sort of mass inoculation emergency use vaccine.

00:07:44.000 And so Senator Rand Paul, very early on, I remember talking to him about this on the phone.

00:07:50.000 In fact, I think I saw him at Mount Rushmore in July of last year.

00:07:54.000 And Rand said, one of the main things we have to do is administer steroids instead of ventilators.

00:07:59.000 Now, the ventilator thing was one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated on the mass population.

00:08:09.000 Evidence now shows from scientific inquiry that ventilators had an adverse effect, that it was actually doing the opposite, not keeping people alive, but actually recirculating the virus and possibly killing them.

00:08:21.000 So, steroids are now part of the official treatment policy of how we actually handle the Chinese coronavirus.

00:08:30.000 So, that's just one very simple example.

00:08:32.000 So, why is it that we are not focused on therapeutics, but we're always focused on the vaccine?

00:08:37.000 Well, let's just say what we know to be true: that the massive pharmaceutical companies have made billions of dollars from this vaccine.

00:08:45.000 Billions of dollars.

00:08:49.000 The school year is ending, and families are making plans to send their kids to summer camp.

00:08:53.000 But kids with a mom or dad in prison are often forgotten and overlooked.

00:08:57.000 That's where prison fellowships' angel tree camps come in.

00:09:00.000 Hi, this is Charlie Kirk, and I'm partnering again this year with Prison Fellowship to send 163 kids to camp this summer.

00:09:08.000 Their lives will never be the same, and neither will yours when you help send a kid to camp.

00:09:13.000 A one-time donation of $200 provides a scholarship to send a kid to an angel tree summer camp, where they can build a relationship with a caring camp counselor, hear the gospel, and experience the love of God in the great outdoors.

00:09:24.000 If you have fond memories of a summer camp experience, you can help make a child have some of those best memories one can have.

00:09:31.000 $200 sends one child to camp.

00:09:34.000 Your donation of any amount will help.

00:09:36.000 Call 888-206-2802.

00:09:39.000 That's 888-206-2802.

00:09:43.000 Or go to charliekirk.com to make your donation today.

00:09:47.000 Help a kid go to summer camp, charliekirk.com.

00:09:52.000 In a way that only could be described as the highest form of tragedy, the first man who received the Chinese coronavirus vaccine in the United Kingdom was a man by the name of William Shakespeare.

00:10:10.000 I love Shakespeare.

00:10:11.000 You should too.

00:10:12.000 Whether it be the Tempest to Macbeth, to Julius Caesar, to Mark Antony and Cleopatra, it's phenomenal. 0.99

00:10:21.000 And so much of our English language, things that we use, all is well, that ends well, Doth protest too much.

00:10:27.000 So much of the English language and our morals and our values and the pursuit of virtue and this idea of tragedy, all of it comes from Shakespearean drama. 0.98

00:10:35.000 Of course, they're trying to get rid of it from our university.

00:10:37.000 So a man by the name of William Shakespeare was the first person to get the approved Pfizer BioNTech vaccine.

00:10:48.000 He died yesterday from a stroke.

00:10:53.000 His name's William Shakespeare.

00:10:55.000 The first person to get the vaccine, and he died from a stroke.

00:10:59.000 Now, is anyone in the activist media covering this?

00:11:01.000 Very few people. 0.96

00:11:02.000 Because they say, sit down, shut up, get the vaccine, everything's going to be fine.

00:11:08.000 So we're not going to lay off of this issue.

00:11:11.000 I'm not going to take big stances on this issue.

00:11:14.000 I'm not.

00:11:14.000 I'm going to let other people do that.

00:11:17.000 But I find the more people oppose me talking about this, the more curious I get about this issue.

00:11:25.000 The more people say, you're not allowed to say that.

00:11:28.000 Trust the science.

00:11:29.000 I say, okay, show me the scientific method on why there have been 4,863 reported deaths.

00:11:35.000 More people died from the vaccine, according to VARES, V-A-E-R-S, than from, than died at Pearl Harbor or 9-11.

00:11:45.000 That's an interesting question.

00:11:48.000 What are the other possible side effects?

00:11:49.000 Does it have any sort of impact on female fertility?

00:11:53.000 Why is it that I talk to people, they say they felt worse from getting the vaccine than from actually getting the Chinese coronavirus?

00:11:58.000 They were in bed for days.

00:12:01.000 Or how about this?

00:12:02.000 According to the CDC, over 10,000 COVID-19 infections among people who are fully vaccinated.

00:12:08.000 We're going to dive deeper into this vaccine thing.

00:12:11.000 But first, New Hampshire auditor came out and just said that the audit has revealed that there's no widespread fraud.

00:12:16.000 Now, to an untrained eye, that seems like, oh, okay, maybe there's nothing to see here.

00:12:20.000 What number is widespread?

00:12:23.000 Would you think that 1% is widespread?

00:12:27.000 No.

00:12:28.000 1% is not widespread.

00:12:30.000 But 1% is the margin of which Donald Trump lost Arizona and Georgia.

00:12:36.000 And I think he lost Pennsylvania by 1.2%.

00:12:39.000 So the question is not widespread.

00:12:41.000 We want a number.

00:12:43.000 So don't fall victim to this sort of semantic games that these people are playing on us.

00:12:50.000 No, no, no.

00:12:50.000 What's the number?

00:12:51.000 How much is it?

00:12:52.000 Not large, not big, not extensive, not universal, not common.

00:12:59.000 No, no, no.

00:13:00.000 Not ubiquitous.

00:13:02.000 I want a number.

00:13:03.000 Be specific, okay?

00:13:05.000 So tell us how much fraud there was, because basically you're admitting that there was fraud.

00:13:09.000 When you say that there was no widespread fraud, you're saying that there was some form of fraud.

00:13:13.000 So how much was it?

00:13:15.000 So Donald Trump, so Biden won Pennsylvania by 1.17%.

00:13:21.000 So if you got a 98% on your test with your teacher, you would not say that it was a widespread failure.

00:13:30.000 You'd say that you did very well.

00:13:33.000 But you'd say that 2% is some room for improvement.

00:13:37.000 It's just a very simple question, which is, what's the number?

00:13:41.000 Stop with this non-specific.

00:13:44.000 They use, I have a list right here of all the synonyms of widespread.

00:13:48.000 I think they've used all of them at the New York Times and the Washington Post when talking about this.

00:13:52.000 No evidence of epidemic voter fraud.

00:13:55.000 No evidence of permeating voter fraud.

00:13:57.000 No evidence of pervasive voter fraud.

00:14:00.000 No evidence of rampant voter fraud.

00:14:02.000 No evidence of blanket voter fraud.

00:14:05.000 No evidence of broad voter fraud.

00:14:07.000 No evidence of rife voter fraud.

00:14:09.000 No evidence of prevalent voter fraud.

00:14:11.000 No evidence of predominant voter fraud.

00:14:13.000 No evidence of far-reaching voter fraud.

00:14:15.000 No evidence of across-the-board voter fraud.

00:14:18.000 No evidence of all-around voter fraud.

00:14:20.000 No evidence of all-inclusive voter fraud.

00:14:22.000 No evidence of all-embracing voter fraud.

00:14:24.000 No evidence of ubiquitous, omnipresent, common, universal.

00:14:29.000 I've heard them use all of this.

00:14:30.000 But what's the number?

00:14:33.000 So what's the number of widespread?

00:14:36.000 Everyone would have a different number.

00:14:38.000 If you asked a normal person, would you say that is 1% widespread?

00:14:42.000 No.

00:14:43.000 That's small, obviously.

00:14:45.000 In fact, based into our normal language and just practical wisdom, judgment that normal people have, you would say that 5% is not widespread.

00:14:56.000 Hello, if 2% of it was done improperly, Donald Trump's president, 2%.

00:15:03.000 That's simple.

00:15:04.000 Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona.

00:15:07.000 2%.

00:15:09.000 And then maybe Michigan or Wisconsin.

00:15:12.000 Can't remember the electoral map.

00:15:13.000 I actually think if you would have won Pennsylvania, Georgia, the point is 2%.

00:15:18.000 So this is a new speak, very deceptive, treacherous way to describe what's happening.

00:15:27.000 I want a number.

00:15:29.000 Okay, so I want to say, okay, actually, 0.4% of the election was done improperly and fraudulently.

00:15:36.000 Thank you.

00:15:37.000 Stop using platitudes.

00:15:38.000 No more abstractions.

00:15:39.000 Get very, very specific.

00:15:42.000 I mean, could you imagine if you had a doctor diagnose you and say, here's the good news.

00:15:49.000 There's no widespread problems with you.

00:15:52.000 The bad news is you have a tumor in your brain.

00:15:56.000 You just said, well, you just said there's no widespread problems.

00:15:59.000 You're right, but there is a three-inch tumor, which by definition is not widespread.

00:16:04.000 So that's the good news.

00:16:06.000 But the tumor could possibly kill me.

00:16:08.000 Yeah, but again, you're widespread healthy.

00:16:10.000 You're commonly healthy.

00:16:12.000 You're more healthy than not.

00:16:16.000 Of course, you understand the example I'm making, which is these auditors, they come out and these apparatchic politicians, they use language that is so imprecise intentionally to try to stop a conversation.

00:16:28.000 So the next question that needs to be asked is: what's the number?

00:16:31.000 How much?

00:16:33.000 Is it 1% of voters on the voter rolls that shouldn't have been there?

00:16:36.000 Is it 5%?

00:16:38.000 Is it 7%?

00:16:40.000 Because we're talking about being in charge of our country based on the margins. 0.71

00:16:44.000 We're talking about whether or not we're going to have Black Lives Matter flags on George Floyd's Memorial or American flags based on 1 or 2%.

00:16:54.000 We're talking about the Keystone Pipeline working and thousands of jobs happening or not based on 1 or 2%.

00:17:02.000 So the allegation of widespread is an Orwellian manipulative tactic to try to stifle inquiry and discussion and debate.

00:17:12.000 We have to demand a number, something that they've never given us, but they've admitted it's there because they say widespread.

00:17:19.000 They never say, well, there is absolutely no fraud.

00:17:21.000 No, no, they wouldn't say that because they know it's not true.

00:18:10.000 Going back to this idea that you're not even allowed to question the vaccine, well, where is most of the conversations happening?

00:18:16.000 Most of the conversations are happening online on social media.

00:18:19.000 And Republicans, of course, have decided to do nothing when it comes to social media.

00:18:23.000 Instead, they decided to cut the corporate taxes of the tech companies.

00:18:27.000 But now, thanks to Project Veritas, James O'Keefe, who is just hitting home run after home run, grand slam after grand slam.

00:18:33.000 I'm a big James O'Keefe fan.

00:18:35.000 He's a frequent guest on this podcast.

00:18:37.000 There are now leaked internal documents detailing a new effort to censor any sort of vaccine concerns.

00:18:43.000 In fact, they have a score of whether or not you're going to abide by the vaccination score.

00:18:50.000 You see, Big Brother and the party, they need to profile you in case you might become a problem.

00:18:58.000 Cut 36.

00:19:00.000 Facebook uses classifiers in their algorithms to determine certain content to be what they call vaccine hesitant, or they call it vaccine hesitancy.

00:19:09.000 Without the user's knowledge, they assign a score to these comments.

00:19:12.000 It's called the VH score, vaccine hesitancy score.

00:19:16.000 And based on that score, we'll demote or leave the comment alone, depending on the content within the comment.

00:19:21.000 So those are the main document along with all the attachments and stuff that goes with it.

00:19:25.000 So basically, when they write this algorithm, it goes through Facebook content and it looks for certain keywords that are related to vaccination or not getting a vaccine and stuff like that.

00:19:35.000 So, no, that was not an ISIS recruitment video for those of you asking.

00:19:39.000 This was a guy that he had to disguise his voice because he works for Facebook, stay anonymous because he'll try to destroy his life.

00:19:45.000 And so I know that might have been hard to hear, but basically he was saying that there was an effort to censor vaccine concerns on a global scale.

00:19:54.000 He continues to explain how they have this software working in many different languages so it can be implemented worldwide.

00:20:01.000 Listen to the best you can, Cut 37.

00:20:03.000 I actually lay all this out in a chart, and you can see you can look at the slides, they go by date.

00:20:08.000 So we've got here COVID-19 vacc safety and FXC global, currently global, 13 languages, Facebook plus Instagram.

00:20:14.000 LC-19 vaccine global, currently global, 66 languages.

00:20:17.000 And the very first thing that brought me to the conclusion that they wanted to do this globally is they were developing it in like, you know, as many languages as they could get their hands on.

00:20:27.000 So this is like a product launch almost.

00:20:29.000 Yes.

00:20:29.000 Yeah.

00:20:29.000 In their last quarterly report, they reported 2.79 billion people on Earth use some kind of Facebook app.

00:20:35.000 The easiest way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow lively debate within that spectrum.

00:20:45.000 Noam Chomsky, who's exactly right.

00:20:48.000 Cut 38 whistleblower on how if you are determined to be a vaccine hesitant, tier two, your comments will be suppressed because it does not match the narrative for getting vaccinated and you are now an enemy of society.

00:21:00.000 Cut 38.

00:21:01.000 So we have tier two, indirect discouragement.

00:21:04.000 And what happens when you are a tier two of them?

00:21:07.000 So basically your comment is going to be suppressed.

00:21:10.000 As to the scale of that suppression, it's just it's hard to say.

00:21:14.000 We have to look at like a case-by-case basis.

00:21:16.000 But what they're saying is it's going to get, they call it a position change.

00:21:20.000 So they're reporting facts, but truth doesn't matter.

00:21:22.000 No, because it doesn't match the narrative.

00:21:24.000 So and the narrative being, get the vaccine.

00:21:27.000 The vaccine is good for you.

00:21:29.000 Everyone should get it.

00:21:30.000 And if you don't, you will be singled out as an enemy of society.

00:21:35.000 And then Cut 39, the whistleblower says that stopping this is more important than him or her losing his job, their job, because this can spread from only regulating comments to entire posts and then the entire internet.

00:21:48.000 You are not allowed to question a vaccine.

00:21:49.000 And then I asked the question, why is it that more people have died from the vaccine according to the VARES website than died at 9-11 or Pearl Harbor?

00:21:57.000 Cut 39.

00:21:58.000 Where do you think this is headed?

00:22:00.000 Does it get worse from here?

00:22:01.000 Yes.

00:22:02.000 How so?

00:22:02.000 They see that this is accepted by the public.

00:22:05.000 And then they go, that's like a green light.

00:22:07.000 Like, oh, we can go ahead and do this more.

00:22:08.000 So not only are we going to start doing vaccine stuff, we're going to spread it to everything.

00:22:13.000 So we're going to start saying, oh, if you make a post that could put somebody in danger or it could compromise someone's safety, whatever that means, then we'll get to go ahead and look at that and assign that a score of some unknown classifier who knows what it could be.

00:22:26.000 They're trying to control this content before it even makes it onto your page, before you even see the policy is going to keep expanding until anything can violate it.

00:22:34.000 What would happen if this was scaled larger and scaled to Twitter and the internet as a whole is way worse than anything that could happen from me getting fired from my job.

00:22:46.000 So I know some of that was hard to listen to just from, because they had to disguise that person's voice.

00:22:51.000 That's an insider that is revealing that Facebook is going on a massive censorship and profiling, like a social score, on your likelihood or willingness to advertise big pharma.

00:23:04.000 And I find this so interesting and fascinating.

00:23:06.000 I actually miss the liberals I used to hate.

00:23:11.000 I actually don't hate them anymore.

00:23:12.000 I want to find them.

00:23:13.000 You see, growing up in the conservative movement, conservatives used to think that corporations and these massive global institutions were on our side.

00:23:22.000 We used to think that, oh, isn't it wonderful that we're able to develop all this wonderful, these amazing pharmaceutical innovations and yay, research and development and more pill pushing.

00:23:33.000 And of course they should be able to advertise.

00:23:35.000 And isn't it great that we have people in Southeast Ohio that can get opioids so quickly?

00:23:40.000 Like that was the conservative movement that was in 2012, 13, and 14, which was just this mindless repetition, the incantation of the corporate oligarchy.

00:23:50.000 The liberals that I used to grow up with that I miss because they've all gone so woke and they forgot their own roots.

00:23:55.000 And I'm kind of defending what they used to defend this whole thing.

00:23:58.000 This whole realignment is so fascinating.

00:24:00.000 And if we weren't kind of stuck in this framework, this spectrum that's so boring and like, oh, I hate you because you're on the right and you're a white person.

00:24:07.000 Like, really, I'm actually saying things that you said 10 years ago that I think you still believe, which were the Democrats.

00:24:12.000 Again, I disagree with them on so much stuff, obviously on abortion and gay marriage and drug legalization.

00:24:18.000 But the Democrats that I used to grow up with that I actually really admire, because I at least do admire, these kind of Dennis Kucinich Democrats that were basically so against anything the corporations were pushing.

00:24:34.000 Anything from big pharma, anything from these massive institutions, they hated bigness.

00:24:39.000 Now, one of the reasons why America was working for so long is because the Dennis Kucinich types, again, Dennis Kucinich was very radical in a lot of stuff from war and other stuff.

00:24:50.000 But I always kind of admired him because I think he was like the former mayor of Cleveland.

00:24:55.000 There was just kind of this charming quality to him where you kind of felt like he was on this crusade.

00:25:00.000 And even though you hated him, you were kind of cheering for him.

00:25:02.000 There was kind of this element that you knew he wasn't going to win, but it was kind of the one versus 16 matchup in Mark's Madness.

00:25:09.000 Or it was kind of like these play-in games that Alabama has when Alabama plays Fulton Community College and the score is 64 to nothing in the first quarter.

00:25:19.000 You're like, please get a first down.

00:25:21.000 I really want you.

00:25:22.000 That's kind of Dennis Kucinich's, right?

00:25:25.000 You knew that he was going to fail, but you were cheering for him because he was just a sweet guy, even though he was in some ways very, very collectivist.

00:25:32.000 I wouldn't put him as a Marxist, though.

00:25:33.000 So there was this Democrat that existed in the 80s and 90s and early 2000s.

00:25:37.000 And by the way, Bernie Sanders used to be this guy until he decided he wanted power and fame and popularity and money and all this stuff, which was kind of the sovereignty Democrats.

00:25:48.000 And these sovereignty Democrats, obviously I disagree with them on so much, but I agree with them on a lot, which is that you should have the right to self-determination, that we don't like a bunch of Goldman Sachs bankers telling us how to live. 0.70

00:25:57.000 And screw you, we're going to go to the hills of Vermont.

00:26:00.000 And if we want to go do wacky and crazy stuff, we're going to do that because we're kind of into this whole kind of Eastern meditative thing. 0.99

00:26:07.000 And you're not going to vaccinate us and you're not going to teach how to teach our children.

00:26:11.000 And by the way, we want our firearms, which is why Vermont has some of the most relaxed firearm laws in the entire nation.

00:26:17.000 People don't know that.

00:26:19.000 So these kind of sovereignty Democrats, there's no place for them, by the way, in the Democrat Party.

00:26:23.000 This is, you are not allowed to believe any of this.

00:26:26.000 You're not allowed to believe that in borders, in separation, in splicing and dicing to be able to determine your own life, none of that.

00:26:33.000 So I don't know where these people went, but I grew up with Democrats like this.

00:26:36.000 I grew up, I am waiting for the Garrison Keillor Democrat to come back, the little home on the prairie, which was, by the way, one of my favorite shows on NPR growing up because it was so interesting.

00:26:46.000 And it was Garrison Keillor, he got me too, probably way over reaction to it. 0.99

00:26:51.000 And Al Franken was kind of of this vein, but Al Franklin was kind of a jerk.

00:26:55.000 But Garrison Keillor used to have the show on National Public Radio, which was always really interesting, where, and if any of you guys know it, please email me. 0.79

00:27:03.000 I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, where it was kind of this romanticism of small America.

00:27:08.000 And I remember Republicans and the business types used to make fun of Garrison Keeler, like, oh, you want to make us live in the 1960s?

00:27:14.000 Or how dare you?

00:27:15.000 And of course, now I kind of love it.

00:27:17.000 And I re-listen to some of the Garrison Keillor tapes and it's really interesting.

00:27:23.000 He used to talk about how they'd have the local minister and the local doctor and everyone walked everywhere and everyone knew each other's name.

00:27:30.000 And it was Republicans that used to reject that.

00:27:32.000 Anyway, Democrats are now totally into the hyper-urbanization, the overindulgence in technology, excess of individualism.

00:27:40.000 And so, in a weird way, now Republicans are now representing the Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich types.

00:27:45.000 Anyway, what am I getting at with this?

00:27:47.000 I'm getting at that this massive vaccination push, I think, is actually going to reveal these fault lines.

00:27:53.000 I think this is a step too far for the Vermont commune people, the West LA yoga moms, and the kind of Buddhist people that live throughout the hills of the Central Valley and in New Mexico, where they were the ones that are like anti-war, pot-smoking, but like really strict on immigration and caring about the nation that they're in or caring about whatever domain that they are, that they exist in.

00:28:18.000 Those sort of Democrats now call themselves Republicans, but I think that there's a massive opening here because I actually think these ideas are somewhat inevitable. 0.88

00:28:26.000 And this is why it's a working theory I have, which is that the non-psycho environmentalists are actually partners potentially for the conservative movement.

00:28:36.000 That the non-psycho, what do I mean by non-psycho, the people that don't worship the earth for the sake of that, that aren't into kind of self-indulgent paganism and want to get rid of all the fossil fuels, people that are kind of like Teddy Roosevelt, where I am, which I love untouched natural beauty, and you believe that something should be preserved and conserved because they're beautiful and wondrous.

00:28:54.000 That you don't want to always, you don't want to build a shopping mall at Grand Teton National Park.

00:28:59.000 That's just not something that I have a desire to do.

00:29:03.000 But then, basic in that philosophy is this idea that something shouldn't change, is the anchoring of permanence.

00:29:11.000 There's something to that because I miss those old Democrats.

00:29:15.000 I miss them.

00:29:19.000 In our fast-paced world, it's tough to make reading a priority.

00:29:21.000 At least it used to be.

00:29:23.000 At thinker.org, they summarize the key ideas from new and noteworthy nonfiction, giving you an access to an entire library of great books in bite-sized form.

00:29:31.000 Read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes, from old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People to recent bestsellers like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.

00:29:40.000 I've used Thinker.

00:29:41.000 I use it almost every single day to digest big ideas quickly and easy to understand.

00:29:46.000 So if you want to challenge your preconceptions, learn something new every day, expand your horizons and become a better thinker, go to thinker.org.

00:29:53.000 That's T-H-I-N-K-R.org to start a free trial today.

00:29:56.000 Again, that's thinker.org.

00:30:00.000 I miss the Democrats of old.

00:30:02.000 I miss the Garrison Keillor Democrats, the Democrats that cared about preserving things that worked, that were local.

00:30:08.000 And the best way I could describe this is the Democrats have gone from, or the left, they've gone from a party that used to value the small and challenge the big to now infiltrate and worship the big to crush the small.

00:30:24.000 If you don't want to live in Brooklyn, there's now something wrong with you.

00:30:27.000 If you don't want to all of a sudden get the Moderna or the Pfizer vaccine, there's something wrong with you.

00:30:32.000 If you don't want to go invade Syria, now there's something wrong with you.

00:30:36.000 And I actually don't think this is sustainable. 1.00

00:30:38.000 This is one of the reasons why I'm so optimistic.

00:30:40.000 And just the more I'm in politics, the more I'm just so exhausted.

00:30:43.000 I'm just so bored by the, oh, I hate you because you're a Democrat and I hate you because you're a social, I mean, or I like you because you're a Republican.

00:30:49.000 I'm just kind of looking at things that matter in the hierarchy of how we should actually value our society and order our society.

00:30:57.000 And so if you're a Democrat that's going to call out corporate interests, I'm going to hear you out.

00:31:05.000 And again, so we as conservatives, we believe in this three-tied knot, right?

00:31:09.000 And Edmund Burke talked about this, between the dead and those that came before us, the living, the present, us, and those yet to be born.

00:31:16.000 We must honor the sacrifices that came before us and where we came from, the living and that around us, and those people that have yet to be born.

00:31:24.000 And if you look at, I think things are changing way too quickly.

00:31:28.000 There's very little permanence and there's a lot of progress.

00:31:32.000 And I think the Democrats indulging in the cult of progress is actually going to open up a massive opportunity for us conservatives.

00:31:40.000 Huge.

00:31:41.000 Because the activists that used to tie themselves to sequoia trees and scream at the top of their lungs because they love those specific trees, I actually have a special kind of place of kind of, let's just say, admiration for that.

00:31:56.000 Because rooted in that kind of environmentalism, and it might have been dumb or foolish or whatever, is no, I like this. 0.84

00:32:02.000 Don't change it. 0.94

00:32:03.000 And maybe what's going to come next is wrong.

00:32:05.000 And now, look, conservatives, and Edmund Burke wrote about this, but Russell Kirk wrote about this as well, is that if you're going to change things, they must be rooted in your traditions.

00:32:15.000 It must be done slowly and deliberately and empirically.

00:32:18.000 So if you're going to implement something that is going to be helpful for a nation, then don't just rush towards it.

00:32:26.000 And don't just do it for the sake of doing it.

00:32:28.000 As Lord Falkland said, that if it is not necessary to change something, it's necessary to not change it.

00:32:33.000 There must be a reason to change it.

00:32:36.000 And so I remember these Democrats growing up, and I actually have a fond admiration for them.

00:32:42.000 The problem is that they've become so pathologically focused on this racial thing that almost all of their needs, wants, and concerns that used to exist have been taken by the wayside, all of them.

00:32:51.000 The stuff that I actually wish they'd still be fighting on, which is, hey, why don't we preserve small businesses, not let Jeff Bezos take over the world?

00:32:59.000 That's probably a good idea.

00:33:00.000 Or I remember even Democrats that used to be the fighters for really big families. 0.94

00:33:07.000 If you want to go put Elizabeth Warren on defense, go read her book that's really good that says the two income trap, where she used to say, hey, it's not a good thing that women have to enter the workforce in order to stay in a middle-class lifestyle. 1.00

00:33:22.000 Now Elizabeth Warren is so just, she just wants power and just she wants to be relative. 1.00

00:33:29.000 She wants to be popular. 1.00

00:33:32.000 She wants to be current. 0.98

00:33:34.000 She wants to be, there's a word I'm looking for, relative, I guess is the right word.

00:33:39.000 And she doesn't want to be kind of cast aside.

00:33:41.000 And so she's always trying to be like out woke somebody and introduce these bills that are not rooted in any sort of reason and constantly turning one group against the other.

00:33:50.000 But I see a massive opportunity.

00:33:52.000 If you can just remove the framework that we've been existing in and just ask some very simple questions, which is, do you want to preserve the small and the beautiful and challenge the big?

00:34:03.000 That's big government, big bureaucracy, big corporatism, big business, big pharma, big military, big globalism.

00:34:13.000 Do you think that people should have the right to self-determination?

00:34:16.000 Do you think that Eastern Oregon should be living under the tyranny of Cait Brown?

00:34:23.000 I don't.

00:34:24.000 Do you think that Western Virginia should be able to enter West Virginia?

00:34:30.000 And what I'm getting at, though, is that the country is in this direction.

00:34:35.000 The sooner that this actually gets articulated by a party, they're going to benefit from it.

00:34:41.000 And as far as Democrats continue to be the ambassadors of the continually changing critical race theory woke stuff is what we call it, it's inevitable they're going to lose if Republicans decide to pick up the ball and defend meaningful, ancestral, ancient institutions that have real impact on people's lives, not just abstractions.
