00:00:00.000Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show, we examine Earth Day first and then we talk about Fauci and some comments he's made about the Constitution and courts.
00:00:09.000A little more of a philosophical episode.
00:00:11.000So if you're interested in kind of diving deep into how we got here and what's been motivating decisions, I think this episode will be for you, but we tie it into the news of the day.

00:00:37.000It's just a couple episodes prior, but I'm afraid that it got kind of just lost in the flurry of episodes we've been posting, which is our conversation with Dr. Malone.
00:01:34.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:43.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:02:05.000There's something happening worldwide, and we've been talking about this theme, and I really want to focus on this theme as we kind of get kicked off today, which is the theme of the big trying to crush the small, or the few trying to crush the many.
00:02:18.000We're seeing this play out on a global stage.
00:02:21.000In one month, the World Economic Forum will be meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
00:02:26.000The World Economic Forum, of course, they are the authors and they are the attempted implementers of the Great Reset.
00:02:34.000We've talked at great length about the Great Reset.
00:02:37.000And it's interesting, as I was having dinner last evening with Pastor Frank and Shawnee, the wonderful pastors here at Calvary Chapel, Chattanooga.
00:02:46.000We got to talking and they asked me, what percentage of Republican office holders could tell you what the Great Reset is?
00:02:58.000Less than 10% of people that we send to Congress could tell you in any detail what the Great Reset is.
00:03:04.000However, a vast majority of grassroots activists and the base of the party could tell you what the Great Reset is.
00:03:11.000They could tell you at least some of the goals of the World Economic Forum, that they want you to own nothing and be happy, that they want to keep borders completely wide open, that they want to bring Western values to a breaking point, that meat will be a delicacy that will no longer be enjoyed daily, that it will be basically will be a meatless society.
00:03:32.000All these are different types of promises.
00:03:37.000I would say it's a little bit more of a goal of the World Economic Forum.
00:03:42.000But I was thinking about this late last night, which is if the base of the party knows more than the leaders, what does that tell you?
00:03:52.000Now, on its surface, that's a very troubling development or a very troubling fact that the base of the party knows more than the people they actually send to Washington, D.C.
00:04:03.000But I actually look at it differently.
00:04:04.000I actually think there's something very positive.
00:04:08.000It might not be promising immediately, but it means eventually we are going to get people into leadership that understand the global implications of what is happening all around us.
00:04:19.000Now, one of the agenda items that kind of transcends all the other is the agenda item of energy.
00:04:45.000We want it to be passed down to future generations.
00:04:47.000But if you had to choose the survival of humanity and the flourishing of people, or the survival, not even the survival, or the unnecessary protection of a tree, it should be a no-brainer.
00:05:36.000Not a huge problem with that, philosophically.
00:05:38.000However, the forces that are trying to push the great reset pervert people's appreciation of nature and the natural world immediately into an anti-fossil fuel, green energy takeover.
00:05:53.000Now, the problem with the tyrannical green energy types is they use energy as a means to the end.
00:06:01.000They use the energy topic as a way to try to control your life.
00:06:08.000And so when you start to hear the people in charge be insistent about an acceleration towards a green economy, we should take a step back and say, why is it that you want a green economy?
00:06:25.000Now, of course, some of the more sustainable options for energy in our country, nuclear power, natural gas, which is very abundant, geothermal energy, where a lot of oil wells can be converted to geothermal energy because of how deep they go to the Earth's surface, which is abundant, near unlimited source of energy.
00:06:46.000You don't hear that from the environmentalist types.
00:06:48.000It's that it's always wind or solar, and that's it.
00:06:51.000In fact, it's less about energy, and it's more about the eradication of private property, the stunting of entrepreneurship, or the remaking of the West as we know it.
00:07:03.000So the Biden spokeswoman, Corine Jean-Pierre, says that Biden is committed to do everything he possibly can to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and speed up and not slow down our transition to clean energy.
00:07:15.000However, but Corine Jean-Pierre should be asked, what is clean energy?
00:07:20.000Because natural gas has actually played a major role in lowering greenhouse carbon emissions over the last couple decades.
00:07:27.000We are closer to the aims and the ambitions of the people that want to make the air cleaner, allegedly, and our environment safer, yet they don't want us to focus on natural gas.
00:07:38.000In fact, they're trying to stop the exploration of oil and natural gas.
00:07:42.000Why is it they're trying to prevent nuclear power?
00:07:46.000Why is it that they're trying to prevent other sort of sustainable, long-term, cheap energy sources?
00:07:57.000But look, the president is committed to doing everything he can to address, you know, to reach his climate goals, taking executive actions that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
00:08:09.000But at the very same time, we must speed up, not slow down, our transition to clean energy.
00:08:15.000It's central planning, of course, but we must understand that the energy push plays directly into the great reset aims and ambitions.
00:08:24.000And if you have Republican lawmakers and leaders that do not know what the great reset is and talk about it regularly, then you need to challenge them on that.
00:08:31.000If they are virtue signaling today on Earth Day and trying to say it's time for us to pass the Green New Deal, you need to ask, is it really about energy or is it about remaking the society as a whole as we know it?
00:08:44.000An unpopular opinion, but a necessary opinion, is the ability to have access to cheap and abundant energy has allowed human beings to progress technologically, medically, and otherwise, civilizationally, quicker than anything we've ever seen.
00:09:02.000The ability to have energy, which literally is what fuels your society, is a moral imperative for human beings to flourish.
00:09:10.000And every single time you will confront a green energy type, an activist or environmentalist, around this idea of being able to have access to abundant and cheap energy, they'll scoff at it.
00:09:22.000They'll say, oh, no, natural gas is not what I want, even though we have more natural gas than we'll probably ever know what to do with.
00:09:28.000We are the world's leader in natural gas.
00:09:32.000Remember, the great reset depends on scarcity.
00:09:37.000In order to execute the great reset, they need emergencies.
00:11:28.000If you spend some time and read the literature of the progressives in the early 1800s and early 1900s, you will see a constant peppering of a reference of science.
00:11:40.000Now, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, that must have been a very exciting time to be a progressive because there were, at the time, incredible scientific breakthroughs occurring, industrial breakthroughs.
00:11:53.000We saw in a very short period of time the airplane, the assembly line.
00:11:58.000You started to see what they figured to be phenomenal vaccine technology start to be introduced in the early 1900s.
00:12:06.000Science was spreading with massive momentum throughout the industrialized world.
00:12:12.000The Germans in particular were people that put this forward.
00:12:16.000Not put this forward, but the Germans were, they blended scientific breakthroughs with progressive philosophy.
00:12:23.000And I'll unpack that because it's really important, the significance of it, and applies to what we're living through today.
00:12:28.000Science, we've gone through the different types of how people describe science and what science actually is, the scientific method and the conjecture of it, but in the late 1800s, early 1900s, kind of piggybacking off of Hegel and a lot of German thinkers, there was this movement that ended up taking over the entire German government in the 1930s, the National Socialist Workers' Party,
00:12:55.000otherwise known as the Nazis, that believed that science was a pinnacle, was a zenith, was an irrefutable principle, if you will, of industrialized society.
00:13:09.000Now, it wasn't just trying to make pharmaceutical breakthroughs or military technological breakthroughs, but the Germans were unable to resist the temptation of trying to actually engineer the man.
00:13:22.000Now, Woodrow Wilson believed this as well.
00:13:27.000He was a college professor at Princeton University and then a college president, the governor of New Jersey, and then president of the United States.
00:13:34.000Woodrow Wilson won the presidency without winning a majority of the votes.
00:13:38.000He won the 1912 election in a three-way election against Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and then, of course, Woodrow Wilson.
00:13:45.000And Howard Taft and Teddy Roosevelt split the vote, which then allowed Woodrow Wilson, the most radical president to hit to date, to take office and to declare war on the founding fathers.
00:13:57.000Not total war, that's not totally fair, but he certainly rejected and repudiated a simple principle.
00:14:06.000And the principle was that we now, since we have planes and we have trains and we have automobiles and technology is progressing, then we are now able to change the framework of the system of government.
00:14:18.000And this very same debate is unfolding today, which is do you believe human nature changes over time, or do you believe human nature generally stays the same?
00:14:30.000The founding fathers and the framers, because they studied history and they believed in the laws of nature and nature's God, as Thomas Jefferson beautifully put in the Declaration of Independence, believed human nature does not change, that the constant you're dealing with is human nature, and technology might change along the way, which might make it easier to do what human beings automatically want to do.
00:14:51.000But the human spirit, the raw material of human beings, it doesn't change.
00:14:57.000Now, understanding this is very significant because we're starting to see the very same debate unfold now in the political and the public health arena.
00:15:08.000The founding fathers, when they designed the structure of government, specifically Madison, Hamilton, and John Jay, which they articulated beautifully in Federalist 51, Madison wrote, he said, if all men were angels, a government would not be necessary.
00:15:24.000He knew that human beings were broken by nature, a belief in original sin, which is a biblical concept, and that therefore power should not be consolidated in one person, and you need a system of checks and balances.
00:15:37.000Checks and balance is something we take for granted.
00:15:40.000And thankfully, this last week, we've seen checks and balances play out, that the CDC is not supreme.
00:15:48.000Now, the CDC is just an American example of the very same sort of German historicist, progressive, scientific philosophy that science and scientists must be supreme.
00:16:07.000Thankfully, we still have a system of government, albeit in shambles at times, where the courts have an independent judiciary to check and balance the scientific community's push to restrict freedom and liberty.
00:16:28.000Hey, everybody, towels just don't seem to dry you anymore.
00:16:31.000They feel soft and lotiony in stores, but you get them home and they don't absorb.
00:16:34.000Well, Mike Lundell at MyPillow found out that around 2006, towels changed forever.
00:16:39.000They started importing them and adding softeners and other things to the cotton that made them feel good, but they didn't work.
00:16:45.000He found the best towel company right here in America.
00:16:47.000They have proprietary technology to create towels that feel soft but actually work.
00:16:51.000They are all made with USA cotton and they come with a MyPillow 60-day money-back guarantee.
00:16:56.000It's a six-piece set, two baths, two hand towels, two washcloths made with USA cotton.

00:17:23.000The Founding Fathers created a system where, in order to do something dramatic or personal to the citizenry, it would require congressional consent.
00:17:34.000You see, the progressives, though, the tricksters that they are, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, they designed a loophole, a workaround.
00:17:43.000You see, the progressives said, you know, we've got to start to do things faster because we have all these great ideas.
00:18:03.000You see, Woodrow Wilson thought it was a design flaw.
00:18:06.000Those of us that actually love liberty think it's a good thing that it's difficult to get stuff done in the United States Congress, especially the forsaking of freedom and liberty and things that are personal.
00:18:17.000So when it comes down to mandates or when it comes down to getting into the personal business of a human being, it's not to say that Congress can't do that.
00:18:26.000It's that it should be difficult to do it.
00:19:11.000Now, we're living through another one of those.
00:19:13.000But the farms to the factories transition was mismanaged by Russia.
00:19:19.000The farms to the factories transition was mismanaged by Germany.
00:19:23.000But it was actually managed very well by Teddy Roosevelt.
00:19:26.000Now, I don't support everything that he did, but he understood that if you are not able to have some sort of a framework to all of a sudden go from an agrarian to an industrial economy, people like Vladimir Lenin are going to start to become really popular.
00:19:41.000It's one of the main reasons why a Marxist revolution never took root here.
00:19:45.000But Teddy Rosa gets blamed for part of this, and I think that's fair to blame him for a little bit of it.
00:19:49.000But the main guy, the villain, is Woodrow Wilson.
00:19:52.000And Woodrow Wilson was annoyed by the structure of the U.S. Constitution.
00:19:57.000So all of that is now a lead up to what we're living through right now.
00:20:00.000What we're living through right now is the very same debate 106 years later or 105 years later.
00:20:07.000So Anthony Fauci in Cut 95, he insists that the CDC should be above U.S. federal courts.
00:20:14.000What he's saying is that science should be unquestioned.
00:20:17.000Who is a judge to tell me what I should be able to do and not do?
00:21:02.000You see, post-Darwin, there was this very dangerous philosophical movement that was implemented in the National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany, which was that if the science says it, don't question it, just do it.
00:21:22.000Post-Darwin, the application of scientific supremacy led to eugenics movements, eugenicist movements.
00:21:34.000Scientific supremacy led us to the forced sterilization of women post-Jacobson v. Massachusetts, where idiot women in the 1920s, well over 50,000 of them, were forcibly sterilized.
00:21:51.000Now, that's their term, not my term, idiot women, because their IQs were too low, and they were forcibly sterilized because public health demanded it.
00:21:59.000You see, what Fauci is saying there is that this is a public health issue.
00:22:03.000However, somebody should say, you know, Mr. Fauci, under the guise of public health, more people have been intentionally destroyed over the last 100 years than under any other excuse.
00:22:15.000It was a public health concern to try to set up concentration camps.
00:22:20.000It was a public health concern to sterilize women.
00:22:25.000That's why we have the structure of government that we have.
00:22:29.000And Fauci doesn't have any sort of appreciation for the U.S. Constitution.
00:22:49.000And thankfully, the founders, all the way back to 1787, we are now living still through the blessing, the intergenerational blessing, where they knew someone like Anthony Fauci would come up at some point.
00:23:03.000Now, mind you, the loophole they didn't anticipate as much, and who am I to criticize the founders?
00:23:09.000But it's well kind of, I think, agreed upon in constitutional circles.
00:23:13.000Larry Arn and many others would say that the one thing the founders would have been a little bit surprised is like, you're creating this entire new fourth branch of government, this unelected branch where Congress doesn't even do their job, where you have the rulemakers actually be the agencies themselves, where the CDC doesn't have to go to Congress.
00:23:49.000So the Biden regime doesn't like this.
00:23:51.000The Biden regime hinges on the ability to be able to micromanage your breathing, your decisions, your livelihood outside of Congress and through regulatory rulemaking.
00:24:10.000Biden's COVID advisor, Ashish Ja, says a major goal of the Biden administration is to, quote, make sure the CDC has the authority to unilaterally implement mask mandates.
00:24:22.000First is that public health decisions like this should be made by public health scientists.
00:24:27.000And CDC had made a decision that masks were useful.
00:24:30.000And it was deeply disappointing to see a federal judge step in and take that decision away from public health scientists.
00:24:37.000The appeal, no question, a major goal of the appeal is to make sure that the CDC has the authority and the ability to protect Americans during health crises like this.
00:24:49.000You are experiencing, you are witnessing, you are living through a multi-century debate of who's actually in charge.
00:25:20.000So the way he says it is he acts as if public health must be elevated above constitutional liberty.
00:25:27.000The way he says it, he expects kind of to win people over, like, well, if it's public health, then just so be it.
00:25:33.000I mean, if it's public health, then why would I even question it?
00:25:38.000Well, of course, we now have seen over the last two years how public health has been against public health, the saddest, most oppressed, alcohol-addicted suicidal generation in history, thanks to public health decisions.
00:25:50.000But even beyond that, even if all the public health decisions were being made beautifully and wonderfully, let's pretend masks are the greatest thing ever and they're epidemiologically sound, the rulemaking itself must actually go through a constitutional process.
00:26:04.000Now, of course, we know these rules are anti-science.
00:26:08.000They're anti-what is best for the human spirit, the soul, and the individual.
00:26:12.000The Biden regime doesn't even mention how you could still wear masks if you want to.
00:26:16.000No one's preventing you from doing that.
00:26:18.000But instead, it is about the centralization of power.
00:26:21.000It's the precedent to be able to make rules without that simple and necessary check and balance.
00:26:28.000We see here in this clip, Ashish Jha says masks should be on.
00:26:51.000And so I think that that is what should be happening right now.
00:26:54.000This Hashish Jah guy is the White House coronavirus response coordinator on short-term leave from Brown University School of Public Health.
00:27:05.000The very same type of person that would be in this entire German historicist progressive team, where I have a bunch of degrees.
00:28:08.000When you study the Roman Empire, the Greek Empire, when you study the British Empire and the Chinese Empire, you realize the people themselves never change.
00:28:16.000They act in a pattern because we all want the same things regardless of the technology around us.
00:28:22.000Just because we have planes and faster cars and Twitter doesn't mean all of a sudden that you're dealing with somebody different.
00:28:42.000It kind of connects to what we're talking about, which is the WHO, the World Health Organization, wants to be like a global CDC and call all the shots in the future.
00:28:55.000So essentially, they want to try to have a global regime over American sovereignty because there is this annoyance that the CDC can be checked by federal courts.
00:29:10.000So we must understand that global health emergency declarations are necessary for the great reset.
00:29:18.000We have a clip on this to kind of explain it further.
00:29:23.000To name it, to give the new disease or whatever a name, to decide what quarantine measures are needed.
00:29:32.000And it's a one-health approach for every country around the world, a global approach to every disease.
00:29:41.000It gives the WHO the control over who gets to develop the new treatments and what they are and how long they take and whether they're safe and so on.
00:30:09.000The treaty could give the World Health Organization the power to name new diseases and decide what quarantine measures are needed on a global scale.
00:30:17.000The World Health Organization controls over who gets to develop new treatments and decide whether they're safe.
00:30:22.000The World Health Organization would then be given authority to determine who gets quarantined or locked down, usurping American law.
00:30:31.000There'd be no more Sweden or Florida examples.
00:30:34.000All the decisions would be centralized in the World Health Organization, the same World Health Organization controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:30:42.000The World Health Organization would decide over vaccine mandates for each country.
00:30:54.000You see, domestically, thankfully, the founding fathers gave us an ability to check and balance power here.
00:31:01.000But what we must be vigilant is to make sure America is immune, to make sure America is not able to be interfered with an imperialist world health organization that wants to determine public health for our country.
00:31:17.000Very few Republicans know or have any idea what is going on with the Great Reset.
00:31:26.000They better wake up and they better get the memo soon because there is a concerted effort to squeeze and suffocate America as we know it via public health declarations and yes, energy policy as well.
00:31:42.000And we see that with this new WHO effort to be able to dictate all the health decisions for a country.
00:31:49.000There'll be no more open Florida, no more open South Dakota.
00:31:54.000Instead, some would call it a progressive Trojan horse for their quote-unquote totalitarian utopia or dystopia.
00:32:02.000Republicans better wake up and we as voters better start to demand from them: if you can't tell me without looking at your notes what the great reset is or who Klaus Schwab is, you shouldn't be running as a Republican.
00:32:16.000It's not just a issue, it is the issue.
00:32:20.000Thank you so much for listening, everybody.
