00:00:17.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:18.000 Are masks helping?

00:00:19.000 What are the downsides of masks?

00:00:21.000 I don't mean medically.

00:00:23.000 What about societally, spiritually?

00:00:26.000 It's time for a robust discussion on masks.

00:00:30.000 Tucker Carlson weighs in on the issue.

00:00:32.000 We cover this amongst many other things.

00:01:00.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:02.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:01:04.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:07.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:10.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:12.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:12.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:14.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:21.000 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.

00:01:30.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:33.000 Is it time to stop renting and buy your first home?

00:01:37.000 Owning your home is an investment in your future.

00:01:40.000 And with today's low rates, now is the time to do it.

00:01:42.000 Often with mortgage payment, it's the same as rent.

00:01:44.000 So why pay for someone else's mortgage payment?

00:01:46.000 Going through the mortgage process for the first time means you're going to have lots of questions.

00:01:51.000 You need someone you can trust.

00:01:53.000 I recommend Andrew and Todd at andrewandtodd.com.

00:02:38.000 We had an amazing event last night, a two-hour event in San Diego at Awakened Church, Juergen's church out there.

00:02:46.000 And my goodness, was that a lot of fun?

00:02:48.000 It was thousands of people there, standing room only.

00:02:52.000 The energy was incredible.

00:02:53.000 The questions were phenomenal.

00:02:56.000 I really believe that we moved the dial in a positive direction yesterday in San Diego, San Marcos in particular.

00:03:05.000 And I just want to say, Pastor Jurgen, you're incredible.

00:03:08.000 All the people of Awakened Church, you guys are being led very well.

00:03:12.000 And if any of you are in Southern California in that part of the world, Juergen's Church does a phenomenal job.

00:03:17.000 And there are a lot of questions that were asked last evening.

00:03:21.000 And one of the questions was, Charlie, what do we do about these mask mandates?

00:03:27.000 What do we do about the mandates that are coming down that are requiring our children to wear masks, that are requiring us when we go into stores to wear masks?

00:03:40.000 What do we do?

00:03:43.000 And we discussed this and we explored it together.

00:03:46.000 And it's not an easy question because there's obviously Penalty if you do not abide and obey by what the people in charge are telling you.

00:03:59.000 Now, we've talked a large amount, a fair amount, I should say, about this rise of safetyism in our country, where people are retreating to what makes them feel safe and feel good instead of embracing liberty, which is the pursuit of virtue, to live meaningful and quiet and peaceable lives.

00:04:22.000 And so now I guess the new debate is whether or not you should wear a mask outside.

00:04:31.000 So I thought this was largely settled.

00:04:34.000 Again, I'm not one to say that I know everything epidemiologically when it comes to masks.

00:04:41.000 I've said for a while that I'm mask agnostic, which means it's without knowledge, agnosis.

00:04:48.000 Gnosis, the Greek word for knowledge, ag without.

00:04:51.000 That's where we get the English word agnostic from.

00:04:55.000 I personally am not a fan, and I'm willing to take my own chances. 1.00

00:05:00.000 Now, when I fly, obviously I comply.

00:05:05.000 That's part of the game.

00:05:07.000 But I think what has not been discussed at all is what are the potential downsides of masks?

00:05:15.000 I do not even mean epidemiologically or medically.

00:05:20.000 It's done from a human perspective.

00:05:22.000 Here's some questions for you: Does it make you and other people more decent to one another?

00:05:30.000 Does it make you more likely to trust other people when all of you are wearing masks?

00:05:37.000 Do you think that we are appreciating each other's humanity more or less?

00:05:43.000 Do you think that children are being raised in the best possible scenario and situation when they think that the normal state of being is walking around with a piece of cloth on their face?

00:06:01.000 The discussion when it has come to masks has been almost done with a religious zeal from the medical experts and the American left.

00:06:14.000 People, by the way, who have been wrong about everything since this started.

00:06:19.000 So now the New York Times has a new story out.

00:06:22.000 Summer camp advice: keep masks and distancing.

00:06:27.000 This is for children.

00:06:29.000 Children going to camp this summer can be within three feet of peers in the same group settings, but must wear masks at all times, federal health officials say.

00:06:36.000 The only times children should remove their masks is when they're swimming, napping, eating, or drinking.

00:06:41.000 They should be spaced far apart for these activities, positioned head to toe for naps, and seated at least six feet apart for meals, snacks, and water breaks.

00:06:49.000 It's just child abuse.

00:06:51.000 I said it last night at Juergen's church.

00:06:54.000 I've said it before in this program.

00:06:56.000 I said it months ago.

00:06:58.000 It is child abuse.

00:07:01.000 To have a six-year-old have to wear a mask and be six feet away from other children.

00:07:05.000 They are not at any significant risk of dying from the Chinese coronavirus, but they are now at risk of being socially programmed into something we have never done before.

00:07:18.000 Now, of course, our leaders, the people in charge, they relish in this opportunity.

00:07:24.000 They embrace the opportunity to believe human beings are malleable, that they can change human nature.

00:07:34.000 The New York Times continues by saying, all people in camp facilities should wear masks at all times, with exceptions for certain people, or for certain settings or activities, such as while eating and drinking or swimming.

00:07:45.000 So here's just a very basic scientific question.

00:07:48.000 Maybe one of the experts would like to come on our program.

00:07:51.000 I would love to have Dr. Fauci come on our program or Dr. Burks.

00:07:55.000 I'd love just to ask him a very simple question.

00:07:57.000 Dr. Fauci, why is that the states that repealed their mask mandates and opened up their states have better virus rates and death rates than the states that had mask mandates and shut themselves down?

00:08:06.000 What would the answer for that be?

00:08:09.000 Can you point to a single county or city that had mask mandates and did significantly better with objective data than those that didn't have mask mandates?

00:08:20.000 The answer is you can't.

00:08:22.000 Can you point to any sort of school or community where masks played a significant role in stopping the spread of the Chinese coronavirus?

00:08:34.000 Dr. Fauci or Dr. Burks, has the Chinese coronavirus had a significant impact on young people from deaths to infections. 0.97

00:08:44.000 Because I can tell you that this nonsense and this garbage has contributed to a mental health crisis in our country. 0.97

00:08:51.000 We have lost more young people to suicide in California than to the Chinese coronavirus. 0.98

00:08:56.000 And just if you guys are looking for something to do, go fill out a freedom of information request to your local government for how many suicides have happened in the last year.

00:09:06.000 They are hiding the numbers from you.

00:09:08.000 They are not publishing the data.

00:09:10.000 But you have FOIA at your fingertips.

00:09:12.000 Most people don't even know what FOIA is.

00:09:14.000 You have a constitutional right to ask your government for emails, text messages, financial data, FOIA, Freedom of Information Act.

00:09:23.000 You can FOIA your state, local, and county officials and say, how many young people have died of suicide in Riverside, California or in San Francisco or at Seattle?

00:09:33.000 And then compare that to the Chinese coronavirus statistics.

00:09:37.000 Aristotle, the great philosopher, studied things that do not change.

00:09:43.000 He believed in eternal knowledge, as do I.

00:09:46.000 And he said this about tyrants.

00:09:50.000 Tyrants preserve themselves by not letting there be any schools or other collegial gatherings for leisured pursuits and do everything that will keep all people as unknown to one another since familiarity breeds a greater degree of mutual trust.

00:10:08.000 Let me read that again.

00:10:09.000 Since familiarity breeds a greater degree of mutual trust.

00:10:17.000 If you do not have a society that trusts one another, then all of a sudden movements like BLM Incorporated start to catch fire.

00:10:26.000 If all we focus on is our skin color and not our character, because people are talking to each other less.

00:10:32.000 They're afraid of one another.

00:10:34.000 They're wrongly afraid of one another.

00:10:36.000 Social distance, there's nothing social about being distanced.

00:10:39.000 It's the opposite of being social.

00:10:42.000 Being social is connecting with another being.

00:10:46.000 But we've allowed them to reprogram our language to stop the spread.

00:10:51.000 We were never going to stop the spread, maybe slow the spread.

00:10:55.000 Lockdowns?

00:10:56.000 What a draconian backwards word that we are going to force you in your home.

00:11:02.000 And if you leave, we're going to punish you.

00:11:05.000 And so now we're having this discussion that quite honestly was settled in May or June of last year.

00:11:13.000 Should we have to wear masks outside?

00:11:16.000 Do children have to wear masks?

00:11:20.000 And for the adults out there, why are you guys putting up with this?

00:11:26.000 I hear plenty of complaints, and we talked about this last evening in San Marcos, California.

00:11:33.000 But I'll tell you that the parents are not making nearly enough noise right now.

00:11:39.000 We are allowing an entire generation to be abused by the permanent medical establishment to treat your children in a petri dish in a massive social conditioning experiment.

00:11:51.000 It's only going to stop when parents and adults rise up and say no more.

00:12:00.000 A gas station sells regular unleaded for $4 a gallon.

00:12:03.000 The gas stations next door sell the exact same unleaded gas for $2 a gallon.

00:12:08.000 So which are you going to buy?

00:12:09.000 The $2 gas, right?

00:12:10.000 It's a no-brainer.

00:12:11.000 So why are you still paying over-inflated rates for wireless with Verizon T-Mobile or ATT when you could be getting the exact same coverage as one of those big carriers with PeerTalk, except get this, it costs you less than half.

00:12:22.000 The average family is saving over $800 a year.

00:12:25.000 Right now, get unlimited talk, text, and six gigs of data for just over $30 a month.

00:12:29.000 And if you go over on data, they don't charge you for it.

00:12:32.000 Switching is so easy.

00:12:33.000 You can keep your phone, keep your number, or choose from the latest iPhones or Androids.

00:12:37.000 Make the smart choice and switch to PeerTalk.

00:12:39.000 Just dial pound250.

00:12:41.000 That's pound250.

00:12:42.000 Say the keyword Charlie Kirk to save 50% off your first month.

00:12:45.000 That's pound250.

00:12:46.000 Say Charlie Kirk, PeerTalk is simply smarter wireless.

00:12:52.000 I hear New York's staging a comeback.

00:12:54.000 It's coming back.

00:12:55.000 Can't wait to visit again.

00:12:58.000 So MIT has a new study.

00:13:01.000 This is what started this entire thing.

00:13:03.000 Actually, my grandfather was a Sloan Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

00:13:08.000 And they issued a study that the activists don't like.

00:13:11.000 Remember, narrative is the most important thing according to the left.

00:13:16.000 We have a preconceived notion of how the world works, and facts and data will not get in the way of our revolution.

00:13:24.000 So they want people locked down permanently.

00:13:26.000 They want people to sit down and obey.

00:13:28.000 They want people wearing two masks when they shower.

00:13:31.000 And if you dare question them, you are trying to massacre the American population.

00:13:39.000 Now, MIT came out with this study saying that the six feet rule is actually inadequate.

00:13:46.000 Quote: We argue that in the context of airborne transmission in a well-mixed space, the benefits of the six-foot rule are limited.

00:13:55.000 As everyone in the room is breathing the same air, they share the same risk.

00:13:59.000 Social distancing may thus be giving you a false sense of security.

00:14:02.000 However, we note the six-foot rule is valuable in limiting transmission by respiratory jets, which pose a heightened risk when people are not wearing masks.

00:14:12.000 And so the MIT study starts to say, why are we actually engaging in the six-foot dogma?

00:14:23.000 The activists don't like that.

00:14:26.000 The activists are saying, even if you're vaccinated, which we're supposed to believe the vaccine works, you must still wear a mask, if not two masks, and keep 100 feet away from each other.

00:14:41.000 So the great Tucker Carlson called nonsense on this last evening.

00:14:44.000 He is the number one trending topic on social media.

00:14:48.000 God bless him.

00:14:49.000 Tucker says very clearly that masks have always been incompatible with a free society.

00:14:55.000 Masks strip people of their identity as individuals.

00:14:58.000 It strips people of intimacy and of human contact.

00:15:03.000 Of course, this is right.

00:15:05.000 And tyrants never want people to have that sense of individuality, creativity, or the focus on the good.

00:15:16.000 Cut 29.

00:15:18.000 Masks have always been incompatible with the free society.

00:15:21.000 We used to know that.

00:15:22.000 Masks strip people of their identity as individuals.

00:15:25.000 Masks transform people from citizens into drones.

00:15:30.000 They isolate us.

00:15:31.000 They alienate us.

00:15:32.000 They shut us off from one another.

00:15:34.000 Masks prevent intimacy and human contact.

00:15:37.000 If I can't see your face, I can't know you.

00:15:40.000 Masks are for the guilty.

00:15:42.000 They're signifiers of shame and submission.

00:15:44.000 Until recently, many jurisdictions had laws against wearing masks in public.

00:15:48.000 Only Klansmen and armed robbers wore masks.

00:15:51.000 The rest of us showed our face.

00:15:52.000 We were free people.

00:15:54.000 And for years, conservatives, including myself, would make the argument, I'll make it again, that it's immoral with the Islamic fundamentalists due to women all across the Middle East. 0.93

00:16:05.000 It dehumanizes them. 0.90

00:16:07.000 God gave you a face for a reason. 1.00

00:16:10.000 If you must wear the full hijab, that is a sign of submission and domination. 1.00

00:16:16.000 And it is against this idea of a free society and of individual rights. 0.87

00:16:23.000 But now we're really realizing that the left has never cared about individual rights.

00:16:26.000 It's always been posturing.

00:16:29.000 And where the liberals are on this topic is really perplexing to me.

00:16:37.000 P.J. Arourk, who's become a kind of a never-Trumper sort of snarky guy, but he's very smart, especially his writings about a decade ago.

00:16:46.000 Very smart guy.

00:16:48.000 He had a great quote where he said, inside every liberal is a totalitarian waiting to get out.

00:16:59.000 Let me say that again.

00:17:00.000 Inside every liberal is a totalitarian waiting to get out.

00:17:05.000 They've always dreamed of being in control and in charge of your life.

00:17:11.000 And now under the excuse of medical experts, they are now more important than ever.

00:17:19.000 Let's go to cut 30, Tucker Carlson, on how children's having to wear masks is child abuse.

00:17:24.000 And again, it's pretty amazing because Tucker and I were saying the same thing thousands of miles apart to different audiences.

00:17:32.000 Seems as if just hit a logical breaking point in the last 24 hours play tape.

00:17:38.000 As for forcing children to wear masks outside, that should be illegal.

00:17:41.000 Your response when you see children wearing masks as they play should be no different from your response to seeing someone beat a kid in Walmart.

00:17:48.000 Call the police immediately.

00:17:50.000 Contact Child Protective Services.

00:17:52.000 Keep calling until someone arrives.

00:17:54.000 What you're looking at is abuse.

00:17:56.000 It's child abuse, and you are morally obligated to attempt to prevent it.

00:18:00.000 Now, the reaction from the activist press and the gatekeepers on Twitter has been rather impressive.

00:18:07.000 Because Tucker a couple weeks ago talked about how Democrats have been bragging that they want more people to come to America for a political purpose, and they wrongly accused Tucker Carlson of peddling some sort of replacement thing, which he actually denounced on air while he did it.

00:18:23.000 They got very angry, but no, they're much more angry at him now.

00:18:26.000 So now I'm starting to realize the hierarchy of the leftist religion as it is.

00:18:30.000 It's always changing.

00:18:31.000 But the ultimate value, the untouchable deity of the left right now is the medical establishment.

00:18:41.000 Even more so than the woke industrial complex nonsense.

00:18:47.000 You cannot question the doctors.

00:18:49.000 Because of course, doctors have never been wrong, obviously.

00:18:54.000 We'll get the exact number.

00:18:55.000 Do you know that hundreds of thousands of people die in hospitals every single year because of medical malpractice?

00:19:01.000 Wrong treatments being given, negligence.

00:19:04.000 Now, look, let me be very clear.

00:19:06.000 Doctors have made my life better, certain doctors.

00:19:10.000 I've also met some awful doctors that gave me the worst advice imaginable.

00:19:15.000 And if I would have followed those people's advice, I would have lived an awful life.

00:19:20.000 Doctors are not right just because they have doctor before their name.

00:19:25.000 And Dr. Fauci is the worst of all of them.

00:19:28.000 And all of this is obviously about political power.

00:19:32.000 And Tucker highlights that.

00:19:33.000 Cut 31.

00:19:34.000 So how do you resist?

00:19:36.000 The first step is to say the obvious.

00:19:38.000 Say it loudly, say it often.

00:19:40.000 This is not about science.

00:19:41.000 This is about political power.

00:19:43.000 If it was about science, Fauci and Kamala Harris would be happy to hear, for example, the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, discuss the science behind mask mandates with a Harvard professor.

00:19:53.000 They would welcome that.

00:19:54.000 But they hated it.

00:19:56.000 So they just pulled the whole thing off YouTube.

00:19:59.000 And so the motivations here are not to save lives.

00:20:03.000 Of course not.

00:20:04.000 The motivations are instead to continue a permanent power grab on the livelihoods of the American people.

00:20:14.000 And so one person who's effectively fighting back against this, and this is a great example of this, and if everyone got a little bit of Dana White in their daily routine, the world would be a better place.

00:20:25.000 Dana White is the president of UFC, and he had an event with 25,000 people in Tampa, Florida.

00:20:34.000 Let's play cut 35 of Dana White saying it's time to get back to normal.

00:20:39.000 35.

00:20:40.000 It's time to get back to normal.

00:20:42.000 And I know a lot of you guys in the media don't feel exactly the way I do about a lot of things, but you can't deny it felt pretty good to be in Florida this week and be normal.

00:20:56.000 If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask.

00:20:59.000 If you don't want to wear a mask, don't wear a mask.

00:21:02.000 And when I saw people wear a mask, I didn't say anything to people wear a mask.

00:21:05.000 When people saw people that weren't wearing a mask, nobody said anything to people that weren't wearing masks.

00:21:09.000 Everybody's just doing their thing.

00:21:10.000 You know what?

00:21:11.000 People seem like they're a lot happier down here in Florida than they are in some of these other states.

00:21:16.000 There's more wisdom from Dana White than the entire Harvard faculty.

00:21:21.000 Dana White runs a multi-billion dollar enterprise.

00:21:24.000 He's a billionaire himself.

00:21:26.000 And he's not a political guy.

00:21:28.000 He has courage, though.

00:21:29.000 You see, Dana White has the virtue that none of these other people have, including in the Republican Party.

00:21:37.000 He has courage.

00:21:38.000 He's willing to stand up to an entire legion of reporters.

00:21:42.000 So you have to understand that clip you're listening to, he's probably got 200 cameras pointed at him.

00:21:48.000 And every person looking at him is wearing a mask.

00:21:52.000 Every single one of those reporters is giving him a snarl, the evil eye.

00:21:58.000 And Dana's like, no, things are actually pretty great here, and we're not going to back down.

00:22:04.000 The UFC was a great event, despite the point that someone basically had their leg chopped off.

00:22:08.000 That was hard to watch.

00:22:10.000 Besides that, it was a great event.

00:22:12.000 And Dana White went on Sean Hannity's show and he said, I try to keep my sports out of politics.

00:22:18.000 When people tune in to watch sports, they don't want to hear this.

00:22:20.000 And I could tell you, before I play this clip 34, I don't watch Major League Baseball anymore.

00:22:26.000 I don't even, is basketball still happening?

00:22:28.000 I used to love basketball.

00:22:30.000 Is it still happening?

00:22:31.000 Or is LeBron James running for police commissioner of Los Angeles?

00:22:36.000 I don't even, it's still happening.

00:22:38.000 I don't care.

00:22:38.000 It's completely irrelevant.

00:22:40.000 I used to love the drama, Dirk Nowitzki and the Sacramento Kings team with Peja Stoyakovich and Vladi Divak.

00:22:50.000 Those are good.

00:22:51.000 That was when basketball was good.

00:22:53.000 Michael Jordan in the 90s, the greatest basketball player of all time.

00:22:57.000 Jordan has wisdom. 1.00

00:22:58.000 LeBron is a total fool. 1.00

00:22:59.000 And he's also arrogant, which drives me nuts. 1.00

00:23:02.000 And so people are watching UFC, though. 0.87

00:23:04.000 NBA numbers have cratered.

00:23:06.000 Major League Baseball numbers have cratered.

00:23:10.000 But UFC is more popular than ever.

00:23:13.000 Play tape.

00:23:14.000 One of the things that I've really tried to do through this whole thing is stay out of politics. 0.99

00:23:19.000 When people tune in to watch sports, they don't want to hear that crap. 0.94

00:23:24.000 They don't want to hear what your opinions are, who you're voting for, or what you're doing. 0.98

00:23:29.000 They want to get away from everything in their life and they want to focus on two, three, four hours, however long their sport is.

00:23:37.000 And Dana's exactly right.

00:23:39.000 When I watch sports, I mean, everything I do is politics.

00:23:42.000 It's the one time I actually want to enjoy watching people excellent at a competition. 0.91

00:23:48.000 The Olympic team, I think they have some new guidelines saying the Olympic team is not allowed to protest using BLM Incorporated taking a knee and raising a fist. 0.84

00:23:59.000 But some of the athletes say that when they go to Tokyo this summer for the Olympics, they're still going to do that. 0.54

00:24:05.000 So let me be very clear.

00:24:06.000 If you're an Olympic athlete that while wearing our flag on the international stage, that you take a knee and you do some sort of ridiculous thing, I hope you lose.

00:24:16.000 For the first time in my life, I will be cheering against America at the Olympics if you decide to take a knee and you decide to make a fool of our country on the international stage when we are the most generous, benevolent, forward-thinking, accepting country ever to exist.

00:24:32.000 That I have to go watch you go to Tokyo and go take a knee during the national anthem? 0.99

00:24:37.000 Like, no, screw you. 0.98

00:24:39.000 Stephen A. Smith, who's he's all over the place. 0.99

00:24:41.000 Stephen A. Smith is like Lindsey Graham.

00:24:42.000 You never know where he's going to go with things, but he's super entertaining.

00:24:46.000 Cut 33 on UFC leading the charge to get back to normal.

00:24:49.000 Cut 33.

00:24:51.000 The whole UFC delivered on Saturday night.

00:24:53.000 A fantastic event from start to finish.

00:24:55.000 Great fights up and down the card.

00:24:57.000 Great moments.

00:24:57.000 Celebrities all over the place.

00:24:59.000 Packed into the arena along with 15,000 fans.

00:25:03.000 Something we haven't seen anywhere in a very long time.

00:25:06.000 So let's take a moment to give credit where credit is due.

00:25:08.000 Let's give credit to Dana White, the man in the UFC.

00:25:12.000 Him and the UFC, of course, all the same.

00:25:15.000 Don't forget, almost a year ago, it was the UFC who was the first sport back after everything shut down.

00:25:20.000 UFC 249, last May night at the very same arena in Jacksonville, Florida.

00:25:26.000 The UFC pulled it off then, safely.

00:25:29.000 And so other sports started coming back too.

00:25:31.000 And now the UFC is saying it's okay to come all the way back to have a little bit of normalcy again.

00:25:38.000 Dana White has led the way on all of it.

00:25:41.000 We should be grateful to him for everything. 0.70

00:25:44.000 Stephen A. Smith, you deserve credit for that monologue because I guarantee you the medical Gestapo came after you.

00:25:51.000 How dare you glorify a super sputter like Dana White?

00:25:55.000 Dana White has courage.

00:25:57.000 I gave a part of my remarks yesterday were about the need for courage.

00:26:02.000 Dana White had a lot to lose.

00:26:05.000 Dana White very well could have done what every other sports commissioner did.

00:26:09.000 No events, limited, test everyone, masks.

00:26:13.000 Dana said, Look, the vaccine's out there.

00:26:16.000 If you believe it works, then take it.

00:26:18.000 If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask.

00:26:19.000 And you saw in that crowd, some people were wearing masks, some people weren't.

00:26:23.000 We're going to get back to normal.

00:26:24.000 We're going to open it up. 1.00

00:26:25.000 And tyrants hate people like Dana White.

00:26:28.000 They hate him.

00:26:29.000 Because Dana White is willing to call their bluff.

00:26:33.000 Dana White is willing to call things as they are.

00:26:38.000 He'll call balls and strikes.

00:26:40.000 Dr. Fauci, he obsesses over people like Dana White.

00:26:46.000 It bothers him.

00:26:49.000 So he goes out and he says stuff like this, Cut 40, where Fauci says, kids playing unmasked, go out into their community.

00:26:56.000 You want them to wear masks when they're interacting with groups from multiple households.

00:27:00.000 Dr. Fauci wants your children to be participants in a mass, massive social conditioning experiment.

00:27:07.000 Play Cut 40.

00:27:09.000 So if parents are vaccinated, they still do need to be concerned about their unvaccinated children playing together in groups.

00:27:17.000 Is that right?

00:27:18.000 When the children go out into the community, you want them to continue to wear masks when they're interacting with groups from multiple households.

00:27:28.000 Do people still listen to this guy?

00:27:30.000 You see, everything I'm saying, I'm just going to say it differently next week.

00:27:34.000 So basically, look, just don't ever leave your home, okay?

00:27:40.000 And then he said this back when it was about masks last year, Cut 37.

00:27:46.000 Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.

00:27:51.000 You're sure of it because people are listening really closely to this.

00:27:54.000 Right now, people should not be walking.

00:27:56.000 There's no reason to be walking around with a mask.

00:27:59.000 When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.

00:28:14.000 This Constitution I have in my hand was written to save us and protect us from people like Fauci.

00:28:21.000 Did anyone ever vote for Fauci?

00:28:24.000 Did he run for office, collect signatures, go through the process of being vetted?

00:28:31.000 This unknown bureaucrat who runs the fourth branch of government, the medical establishment, who, by the way, did you know Fauci is the highest paid employee of the federal government?

00:28:41.000 That guy is the highest paid employee of the federal government.

00:28:46.000 The Constitution says clearly that the consent of the governed is how we must build this compact, this cooperation, this system of government.

00:28:57.000 And Dr. Anthony Fauci has more power than a Roman Caesar.

00:29:03.000 Dr. Anthony Fauci would make Napoleon generous with how much jurisdiction he has over people's lives.

00:29:12.000 And until people act like Dana White and they call this stuff BS and nonsense and push back against it, Fauci's going to be running our country.

00:29:22.000 It's time to take it back.

00:29:26.000 Look, by now, you've all heard me talk about My Pillow and how Mike has done it again by introducing his My Slippers.

00:29:32.000 Mike Lindell, he's got a lot of ambition.

00:29:35.000 He's a patriot.

00:29:36.000 He loves his country.

00:29:37.000 A lot of people like Mike Lindell.

00:29:39.000 In fact, I get emails from people.

00:29:40.000 They say, Charlie, how can I help you?

00:29:42.000 How can I help Mike Lindell?

00:30:21.000 You know, I've really been enjoying reading Benjamin Franklin lately.

00:30:26.000 I'm a big Ben Franklin fan.

00:30:28.000 There's a scholar that works for Hillsdale.

00:30:30.000 I can't remember his name.

00:30:30.000 He wrote this great book on Franklin.

00:30:32.000 But there's a phenomenal letter that Franklin wrote called Plain Truths in 1747.

00:30:40.000 And it's terrific.

00:30:41.000 You could see the founding fathers as they were beginning to wrestle with this idea of representative government because the Constitutional Republic was a great leap forward.

00:30:53.000 And the founders were living in somewhat Puritan, Quaker, Protestant America.

00:31:01.000 And people were starting to ask really important questions because no one had really tried it to this extent before.

00:31:06.000 There was the Roman Republic, but it was different.

00:31:09.000 The Roman Republic was nowhere nearly as representative as what the American project embarked upon.

00:31:18.000 And Franklin realized that the way that you unify the Quakers and the Puritans and the non-Christians, and there weren't that many of them, but there were there, was this idea that the unifying doctrine of natural rights, of liberty and property, the pursuit of virtue, trying to make yourself a better person, that you must have the freedom to be able to come in contact with your creator, to assemble, to write,

00:31:47.000 to think, to communicate, to defend yourself, not be spied upon, not have soldiers quartered in your home.

00:31:53.000 That those are actually the unifying principles.

00:31:57.000 Those touch all human beings.

00:31:59.000 Now, as John Adams famously said, he said, the Constitution was made solely for a moral and religious people.

00:32:10.000 It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

00:32:15.000 So as I hold this document, the United States Constitution, the greatest political document ever written, you want to know why liberty is eroding.

00:32:25.000 You want to know why people are retreating to safetyism.

00:32:28.000 It's largely because the system we have is only going to work insofar that the citizens are able to self-regulate their own behavior.

00:32:38.000 If the citizens are not able to prevent themselves from seeking pleasure over virtue, then of course they're going to do what they're told and put on the mask and shut down the schools and stay at home indefinitely and wait for their stimulus payment and seek the next dopamine rush instead of trying to live a fulfilling life.

00:33:01.000 And so as we wrestle with these ideas of how do I deal with these mask mandates?

00:33:07.000 How do I deal with my children not going to school?

00:33:10.000 What we're really talking about here is the need for a constitutional reset.

00:33:16.000 And something we are going to explore on future podcast episodes here on the Charlie Kirk Show is this question.

00:33:23.000 Are we a nation of laws or are we a nation of political will?

00:33:29.000 Steve Dace on our program did an interview that will be aired soon where he goes after Dr. Fauci.

00:33:34.000 It's terrific.

00:33:35.000 And he submits the argument that we are a nation of political will.

00:33:41.000 Do you want to know why the courts almost never stand up to the political majority?

00:33:45.000 It's because the courts are filled with human beings too.

00:33:49.000 Alexander Hamilton famously predicted this.

00:33:51.000 He said, the Supreme Court and the courts will never go against a massive political majority in the country.

00:33:58.000 And he has been right in every decision.

00:34:01.000 That's why Dred Scott had that awful decision it had.

00:34:04.000 That's why Brown versus the Board of Education righted many of those wrongs.

00:34:07.000 That's why Roe versus Wade had that decision.

00:34:10.000 It's why with the gay marriage decision with Anthony Kennedy, the courts actually are more in the direction of the people than the law.

00:34:18.000 So what is that the lesson for all of us?

00:34:22.000 It's that we have to go win more people over.

00:34:25.000 That if we do not have the political will or the political majority through a constitutional republic, this beautiful document, this constitution, this firewall will eventually be shattered.

00:34:39.000 And that means challenging the tyrants and the despots like Anthony Fauci.

00:34:43.000 That means we need courage like Dana White.

00:34:48.000 We need clarity like Scott Atlas.

00:34:52.000 And we need people to start all of a sudden to take back this citizen government.

00:34:56.000 Citizen comes back, it comes from a Greek term, which means co-ruler, one that oversees alongside.

00:35:03.000 Over the last year, have you felt like you have been used and abused by a centralized government authority?

00:35:09.000 Sit down and shut up and lock down our country and the lockdowns never should have gone further than two weeks.

00:35:15.000 If your children is, if your child is being required to wear a mask, if all of a sudden you are vaccinated and you're still subjected to these rules and regulations, understand that you are participating in their power play.

00:35:31.000 What are you going to do about it?

00:35:33.000 It's the consent of the governed, only if the governed cares about their consent.

00:35:40.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
