The Charlie Kirk Show - MASK OFF: Liberal Heads Explode and Joe Biden Holds Us Hostage with a Sick Ultimatum

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:00:02.000 We got a jam-packed episode for you.

00:00:05.000 Guess what?

00:00:05.000 The CDC's updated its mass guidelines and liberal minds are exploding.

00:00:09.000 We've got all the sound.

00:00:10.000 You're not going to want to miss.

00:00:12.000 Also, what are the Republicans' reaction to this?

00:00:15.000 Are they suspicious?

00:00:17.000 You bet they are.

00:00:18.000 And they have a right to be.

00:00:19.000 We'll tell you exactly why.

00:00:21.000 And then finally, guess what? 0.53

00:00:23.000 Republicans are worse than the hijackers on 9-11. 0.98

00:00:27.000 And as a matter of fact, they're like al-Qaeda. 0.99

00:00:31.000 We have all this insanity for you and more.

00:00:33.000 Jam-packed episode.

00:00:35.000 Really had a good time researching it.

00:00:37.000 Had a great time recording it.

00:00:39.000 You're not going to want to miss it.

00:00:40.000 Here we go.

00:00:40.000 Buckle up.

00:00:41.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:43.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:45.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:49.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:52.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:53.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:54.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:01.000 Turning point USA.

00:01:02.000 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.

00:01:11.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:14.000 All right, everybody.

00:01:14.000 I'm about to tackle everything I just introduce, but before I get into that, I want to talk about the Thinker.

00:01:21.000 That's right. 1.00

00:01:22.000 T-H-I-N-K-R. 1.00

00:01:25.000 We get a lot of emails from you guys going, I can't find it.

00:01:28.000 Well, it's because it's without the E. There's no E. T-H-I-N-K-R dot org slash Charlie.

00:01:37.000 And that will make sure that we get the credit for it, which we really appreciate because we love Thinker.

00:01:42.000 Okay, so Thinker, the whole point of Thinker is that you get a lot of content, but in bite-sized pieces, you can get through it in like about 10 minutes and you get some of the most important books out there right now.

00:01:53.000 It's a phenomenal, phenomenal service.

00:01:56.000 So we love Thinker and the guys that run it are connected to the Babylon B. They're phenomenal people.

00:02:01.000 They love America.

00:02:02.000 It's great.

00:02:03.000 Here's the deal.

00:02:04.000 This is the book of the week because so much of what's happening in our culture has to do with our addictions to our cell phones.

00:02:13.000 That's right, to our cell phones.

00:02:15.000 Why is there a connection with all the news today in that?

00:02:18.000 Because they're feeding us propaganda through social media, through the mainstream news media, through Apple news, which doesn't get enough attention from us.

00:02:28.000 And this book of the week deals with that.

00:02:30.000 And by the way, Charlie, we just released a vintage Charlie.

00:02:33.000 It's actually a new speech he just gave, but it's vintage Charlie.

00:02:37.000 This is Charlie at his best.

00:02:38.000 And we titled it, How Smartphones Are Strangling the Soul of America.

00:02:42.000 So this is something that's very much a focus of Charlie.

00:02:46.000 It's very much a focus of the show.

00:02:48.000 And this book is called Irresistible, The Rise of Addictive Technology in the Business of Keeping Us Hooked by Adam Atler.

00:02:56.000 Okay.

00:02:57.000 So what you're going to see in this, heads of successful technology companies strictly regulate their children's access to the very technologies they promote to the masses.

00:03:06.000 Okay.

00:03:07.000 You're going to learn why.

00:03:09.000 This is, again, the book is irresistible.

00:03:11.000 Thinker.org slash Charlie.

00:03:14.000 Number two, the average person's daily smartphone habits will add up to over a decade of one's life spent texting and scrolling.

00:03:21.000 It's 10 years you're never going to get back.

00:03:23.000 Three, we need to expand our definitions of addiction from mere substance dependency to behavioral patterns more generally.

00:03:29.000 This is absolutely 100% correct.

00:03:32.000 Four, environment is primarily determinative of addiction.

00:03:37.000 Remember, environment.

00:03:38.000 So parents out there, you create the environment that either leads to addiction to cell phones or helps break them of the addiction or doesn't lead to it in the first place.

00:03:46.000 Five, less screen time and more face-to-face interactions, improves social intelligence.

00:03:50.000 Of course, we know this.

00:03:51.000 If you want people to have good interpersonal skills, take the phone away.

00:03:55.000 Six, creating structures and habits that enhance freedom are the best remedies for technology addiction.

00:04:01.000 You got to fill that void with other things that matter.

00:04:01.000 Absolutely.

00:04:03.000 Seven, the difference between I can't and I don't is monumental.

00:04:07.000 Okay, you have the power.

00:04:08.000 You empowered.

00:04:08.000 Guys, go to thinker.org slash Charlie.

00:04:11.000 That's T-H-I-N-K-R-Noe.org slash Charlie.

00:04:15.000 Support us.

00:04:16.000 Support the show.

00:04:17.000 Support Thinker.

00:04:19.000 And, you know, deal with your addiction to the screen in smartphones.

00:04:23.000 Okay, guys, without further ado, we've got a great episode in store for you today.

00:04:27.000 Check it out.

00:04:30.000 The big news of the day is, of course, that the CDC has changed its guidelines on masking.

00:04:37.000 Now, you'd think this would be a happy day.

00:04:40.000 You'd think this would be a joyful celebration.

00:04:43.000 And there are those voices, even on the left, that are having a good time with it.

00:04:46.000 I read Politico this morning, so you didn't have to, that is basically, you know, saying, hallelujah, the worst is behind us.

00:04:56.000 And that very well may be true, but that has not stopped the liberal blowhards across the country from essentially just losing their ever-loving minds.

00:05:10.000 So just to sort of sum it up for you, the CDC said Thursday that fully vaccinated people do not need to wear masks or practice social distancing indoors or outdoors, except under certain circumstances, such as in healthcare settings, on public transportation.

00:05:26.000 So if you think you're going to take that mask off on a plane anytime soon, you've got another thing coming.

00:05:32.000 Or in areas where the government requires masks.

00:05:35.000 The other issue that's fairly prominent here is that stores are still trying to figure out what they're going to do.

00:05:42.000 So CVS, Walgreens, Macy's, wherever you go into a retail setting is still going to potentially force you to wear masks.

00:05:49.000 As a matter of fact, I'm predicting that they will, based on some of the intel that we're already getting.

00:05:55.000 So by the way, you also still have states like New York still has their mask mandate in place and they are reviewing the data.

00:06:03.000 But nevertheless, it's a big news story.

00:06:06.000 So let's play a little sound just to kind of get you guys up to speed here.

00:06:10.000 Let's play clip 82.

00:06:11.000 This is Rachel Maddow asking CDC director Dr. Walensky, how sure are you?

00:06:18.000 Playclip.

00:06:19.000 How sure are you?

00:06:21.000 Because this feels like a really big change.

00:06:23.000 We're sure.

00:06:24.000 There's an extraordinary amount of evidence now that demonstrates the vaccines are working in the real world, that these vaccines are working the way they worked in the clinical trials.

00:06:33.000 Importantly, there's also new data.

00:06:36.000 Just even in the last two weeks, the demonstrates these vaccines are working against the variants that we have circulating here in the United States.

00:06:45.000 All right.

00:06:46.000 So, Maddow, skeptical.

00:06:49.000 Are you sure?

00:06:50.000 Are you sure, sure?

00:06:52.000 100% pinky promise, sure? 0.98

00:06:56.000 Well, this basically broke Rachel Maddow in one of the more humorous segments that you'll ever see on the news.

00:07:04.000 And I'm sure you guys weren't watching it.

00:07:07.000 So we got the clip here, just in case you're curious.

00:07:09.000 Playclip 80 of Rachel Maddow saying, I'm going to have to rewire my mind here just for this, just to get used to the new normal here.

00:07:18.000 Playclip 80.

00:07:19.000 Part of it is that I feel like I'm going to have to rewire myself so that when I see somebody out in the world who's not wearing a mask, I don't instantly think you are a threat or you are selfish or you are a COVID denier and you definitely haven't been vaccinated.

00:07:33.000 I mean, we're going to have to rewire the way that we look at each other with this changing guidance.

00:07:38.000 We're going to now have changing norms and we got to give each other space to have feelings about that as we go through what's going to be a big change that's going to create a lot of visceral, a lot of visceral reaction in a lot of us just in our day-to-day lives.

00:07:52.000 Big day, big change.

00:07:56.000 Okay, Rachel Maddow. 1.00

00:07:58.000 You know, on the one hand, listen, I think these people are all silly. 0.98

00:08:03.000 And they have conducted a psyops operation against the American people, the likes of which we've never probably seen before. 0.97

00:08:14.000 And they have convinced millions of people to be utterly panicked.

00:08:18.000 And so I have no compassion for that.

00:08:20.000 But just imagine for a second that you believe all of this stuff, that you have been fed this load of COVID porn, panic porn for months, and that you have fully internalized it.

00:08:33.000 And you are scared of your fellow country, your fellow citizens, when you go outside.

00:08:41.000 Just imagine that you have fully bought that hook line and sinker for months now.

00:08:46.000 And then you got the CDC saying, well, actually, if you're vaccinated, you don't need to do that.

00:08:50.000 Well, this creates way more problems for them than it does solutions.

00:08:54.000 And you see that moment of just brutal honesty about what's really going through their minds.

00:09:01.000 And we've all known this.

00:09:02.000 But she says, I'm not going to judge somebody when they don't have a mask on, like that they're selfish or that they're a COVID denier or that they're a Republican.

00:09:11.000 That's really what they're saying here, by the way.

00:09:15.000 And I actually feel, you know, there's a tinge of compassion, I promise, just a tinge for these people that are having to deal with this.

00:09:24.000 This is one of my favorite clips of the moment, by the way.

00:09:27.000 I want to play Clip 91.

00:09:29.000 This is CNN absolutely.

00:09:32.000 So the news breaks.

00:09:33.000 CNN instantly goes to the airwaves to discuss what this new change means.

00:09:41.000 And you could tell their minds just can't comprehend what life might look like without masks on.

00:09:47.000 Clip 91.

00:09:48.000 Frankly, I was shocked by this announcement.

00:09:50.000 I think they went from one extreme to another.

00:09:53.000 And the major step that's missing here is: how do we know that people are telling the truth?

00:09:58.000 This is not a free-for-all, that everybody, you know, and but I agree with Dr. Wen.

00:10:03.000 It is going to be very tenuous.

00:10:05.000 I am kind of befuddled as to where this guidance came from.

00:10:08.000 I think there are a lot of steps that we're missing.

00:10:11.000 And the people who never wanted a vaccine, how do I get them to wear a mask?

00:10:18.000 That is a great question.

00:10:22.000 And thus, we have our problems.

00:10:25.000 That clip probably illustrates it the best of any of these clips. 1.00

00:10:29.000 So that Dr. Wen, by the way, we call her Carrot Lady.

00:10:33.000 She was on with Chris Cuomo a few months back, probably about six weeks ago, where she was expressing the fact that she felt like the window was closing for the U.S. government, Joe Biden, to essentially put that carrot out there to get vaccinated.

00:10:52.000 And if we don't tie reopening and getting your normal life back to getting vaccinated, we're going to miss the window.

00:11:00.000 And she basically revealed their whole game.

00:11:03.000 Let's play Clip 93 just so you guys know what I'm talking about here.

00:11:07.000 But I think that there are many more people, millions of people, who, for whatever reason, have concerns about the vaccine, who just don't know what's in it for them.

00:11:15.000 And we need to make it clear to them that the vaccine is the ticket back to pre-pandemic life.

00:11:21.000 And the window to do that is really narrowing.

00:11:23.000 I mean, you were mentioning, Chris, about how all these states are reopening.

00:11:26.000 They're reopening at 100%.

00:11:28.000 And we have a very narrow window to tie reopening policy to vaccination status.

00:11:34.000 Because otherwise, if everything is reopened, then what's the carrot going to be?

00:11:38.000 How are we going to incentivize people to actually get the vaccine?

00:11:41.000 Carrot Lady, what's the carrot going to be?

00:11:44.000 Well, You see now why the liberal minds are exploding because they've lost the leverage point.

00:11:53.000 They lost the leverage point in some ways.

00:11:55.000 However, we might have a very troubling development on the back of this, and that's vaccine passports.

00:12:02.000 Now they're calling them vaccine certificates or a certification system.

00:12:08.000 They might the Biden administration was revealed weeks ago that they were working with companies to find a solution for this vaccination problem.

00:12:18.000 Meanwhile, only a third of Americans are fully vaccinated.

00:12:21.000 And that means you've gotten first vaccine, second vaccine, and then you've had two weeks since.

00:12:27.000 And so the conundrum for the left is real.

00:12:30.000 While they want to support this and say, yay, Joe Biden, they're actually unable to fully celebrate.

00:12:38.000 Let's play clip 83.

00:12:39.000 This is the wonderful, the illustrious, the so brilliant and smart Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski talking about how they're going to respond to the new CDC guidelines.

00:12:51.000 But so let's be specific about this.

00:12:53.000 If you're on airplanes, if you're on buses, if you're on public transportation, wear the mask.

00:12:58.000 You still are expected to wear the mask.

00:13:00.000 And actually, for your own health, you should still wear the mask.

00:13:03.000 I gotta say, in the future, I mean, I haven't gotten the flu in a year.

00:13:08.000 Why am I going to start wearing a mask on a mask on planes?

00:13:12.000 That just makes good common sense.

00:13:15.000 That's right.

00:13:16.000 That's right, Mika. 1.00

00:13:17.000 There, good doting wife.

00:13:20.000 Just, yeah, that's right, Joe.

00:13:21.000 It's right. 0.98

00:13:23.000 So, okay, listen: Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are fools, of course, but they are very representative of a whole move of people, right? 0.97

00:13:36.000 So, we did a little research here. 0.91

00:13:37.000 We went to the official White House, or I guess I don't know if it's the official POTUS Instagram page here when they posted the mandates that have changed, the CDC guidances had changed.

00:13:52.000 And the comments were so ridiculous that we had to take screen grabs.

00:13:56.000 And actually, producer Connor was sending these to me, going, You know, look at what these people are posting. 0.99

00:14:01.000 These people are crazy.

00:14:03.000 This is what you do to a culture when you break them of their spirit, when you break them of their courage. 0.97

00:14:09.000 Now, a lot of these people probably didn't have courage before, but nevertheless, it's a degradation the likes of which we've probably never seen before.

00:14:16.000 Now, just imagine the brave men that were storming Normandy. 0.54

00:14:22.000 And consider this: I'm going to wear a mask anyways, so I don't look like an a-hole.

00:14:29.000 Another one: I'm fully vaccinated, but I'm keeping the mask on with a little emoji with going like you know, with a shrug.

00:14:36.000 Thanks, but I'm aware of masks still just in case.

00:14:40.000 I'm confused.

00:14:41.000 Thought the vaccine prevented you from getting sick, it didn't prevent you from getting it at all.

00:14:46.000 Make it, uh, make it make sense, somebody, please.

00:14:49.000 Way too soon.

00:14:51.000 I'll keep mine on and get ready for another spike this summer.

00:14:55.000 So, so this is uh, this is what happens when you send your kids to public school, apparently.

00:15:01.000 Um, homeschool, private school, Christian school, really recommend it.

00:15:06.000 But, nevertheless, we're this country is filled with people that think like this, and why?

00:15:10.000 Because they live in little media bubbles where they listen to people like Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, and those clips get pushed out through the social media, and they tell young people, like these people, that you are selfish, just like Rachel Maddow said, that you're a COVID denier if you don't wear a mask.

00:15:29.000 And then, Morning Consult did an actual poll, and this was really revealing, talking about the let's see if I can get this poll here.

00:15:42.000 Morning Consult did a poll where they compared vaccinated Americans versus unvaccinated Americans and asked them to express their comfort level toward a variety of public activities.

00:15:57.000 Okay, so this is, again, people who have received the vaccination, those who haven't, and their level of comfort.

00:16:03.000 Going on a cruise, only 17% of vaccinated people were comfortable.

00:16:08.000 Almost 40% of unvaccinated people were comfortable going on a cruise.

00:16:13.000 Attending a concert, only 23% of vaccinated people were comfortable with that.

00:16:18.000 42% of unvaccinated were.

00:16:21.000 Now, the numbers start getting a little bit jumbly, so just bear with me here.

00:16:26.000 I'm not kidding you.

00:16:27.000 Renting a car, less than half of vaccinated people polled in this survey are comfortable renting a car.

00:16:37.000 47% are comfortable renting a car.

00:16:40.000 When you drive down the streets and you see that person wearing a mask inside their own car, guaranteed leftist.

00:16:48.000 Now, 60% of people who aren't vaccinated are comfortable.

00:16:52.000 Still too low, but I mean, you know, come on, guys.

00:16:57.000 This is the propaganda.

00:17:00.000 This is what happens when the propagandists get control.

00:17:03.000 This is what happens when you have Fox and Newsmax versus CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, ABC, all of this, and not to mention the slew of online news outlets.

00:17:20.000 Vox has been completely wrong.

00:17:22.000 Vox, there's a great piece on Breitbart that I recommend you guys check out that details how wrong Vox has been.

00:17:30.000 It doesn't matter what your politics are or who you voted for.

00:17:33.000 Everyone should have the right to express themselves freely.

00:17:36.000 Sadly, the big tech monopoly has instead opted for censorship to fight back against big tech's control of the internet.

00:17:42.000 I use ExpressVPN.

00:17:43.000 Free-to-access tech giants make all of their money by tracking your searches, video history, and everything you click on, then selling off your sensitive data.

00:17:50.000 When you use the ExpressVPN app on your computer or phone, you anonymize much of your online presence by hiding your IP address.

00:17:57.000 That makes your activity much more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers.

00:18:00.000 What's more, ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your network's data to protect you from cyber criminals.

00:18:06.000 And it just takes one click to protect all your devices.

00:18:08.000 That's why ExpressVPN, that's right, ExpressVPN is rated number one by CNET and wired.

00:18:14.000 Revoke big tech's right to your data.

00:18:33.000 Guys, this is probably one of the more enjoyable days that I've had just from a news cycle in 2021.

00:18:44.000 Because the coronavirus cult, the anti-science coronavirus cult that has kept your children's schools closed, even when all the science says that children are not a vector of spreading this disease, at least not a large one, and that it's safe to go back to school.

00:19:06.000 And by the way, just for the record, I live in California.

00:19:10.000 My three-year-old goes to preschool at a little Christian school, and they haven't had masks the whole time.

00:19:17.000 We started sending her back in, I think, August or September of last year.

00:19:21.000 No masks, no problems.

00:19:22.000 Everybody's great.

00:19:23.000 It's been fun.

00:19:24.000 So God bless our little Christian preschool. 1.00

00:19:29.000 They've kept your schools closed. 1.00

00:19:32.000 They've kept your businesses closed.

00:19:34.000 It's resulted in 100,000 small businesses shuttering their doors, never coming back open, you know, that are never going to recover, despite all of the efforts of the federal government, despite all the trillions of dollars we've thrown around.

00:19:54.000 There was an interesting exchange that we just, I'm just catching on Twitter here involving the one and only, in a very negative sense, Representative Eric Swalwell.

00:20:09.000 So there was a verbal altercation.

00:20:11.000 This is why we call it the COVID cult, the lockdown cult.

00:20:17.000 Another verbal altercation just happened in the House.

00:20:20.000 This was a reporter's Twitter feed.

00:20:21.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene spokesman Nick Dyer told Representative Swalwell, Biden says you can take off your mask.

00:20:28.000 Swalwell confronted Dyer, got in his face, and according to Dyer, said, You don't tell me what to effing do.

00:20:37.000 That is your California congressman from the Bay Area, real good friends with Nancy Pelosi, and a one-feng fang from China.

00:20:46.000 Solid guy.

00:20:48.000 Very solid guy, that's Walwell.

00:20:51.000 And has he been removed from any committees since it's been revealed that he was cavorting with a Chinese spy?

00:20:58.000 Not sure.

00:20:59.000 I don't think so.

00:21:01.000 Anyways, let's play some sound of Biden, the paternalistic Biden getting in our face about this.

00:21:12.000 Let's see.

00:21:12.000 Okay, clip 90.

00:21:14.000 This is Biden telling us the new rule of thumb.

00:21:17.000 All you crazy anti-vaxxers out there, all those skeptics.

00:21:22.000 Biden's got a very simple instruction for you.

00:21:24.000 Play clip 90.

00:21:25.000 After a year of hard work and so much sacrifice, the rule is very simple.

00:21:31.000 Get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do.

00:21:39.000 You hear that?

00:21:40.000 Listen, folks.

00:21:42.000 It's very simple.

00:21:43.000 You do what you're told.

00:21:44.000 This is America.

00:21:46.000 Do what you're told.

00:21:48.000 You get that vaccination or you wear a mask.

00:21:51.000 I don't want to hear any ifs, ands, or buts about it.

00:21:53.000 Get to your room. 1.00

00:21:54.000 You're going to get a spanking. 1.00

00:21:56.000 I'm President Joe Biden, okay? 0.99

00:22:00.000 This is the left.

00:22:01.000 This is what the left thinks.

00:22:03.000 So the left puts all of their hope, faith, and promise of the future in the federal government.

00:22:12.000 The right thinks of the federal government is getting in the way of their hopes, dreams, and aspirations.

00:22:18.000 But the left, when you don't follow God, something is always going to take its place.

00:22:23.000 And for the left, the federal government is God, and the federal government is this benevolent, nearly octogenarian leader, Joe Biden.

00:22:32.000 You get in your room, little boy.

00:22:36.000 So there's a great piece here from the Federalists.

00:22:38.000 A little shout out to the Federals.

00:22:40.000 Five big things wrong with Biden's mask or vaccine ultimatum.

00:22:47.000 So, you know, obviously, the first one is that Biden got vaccinated when President Trump was still in office and then denied it, that Trump had a vaccine and that he inherited this awful mess.

00:23:01.000 And actually, on that note, I mean, President Trump has issued a couple statements recently that are just amazing.

00:23:07.000 They make me miss the man more than I already did.

00:23:10.000 But I just love how defiant he is.

00:23:12.000 You know, today he actually, I'm probably going to pull this up because it's just so good.

00:23:17.000 But just today, the president issued this great, this great comment.

00:23:23.000 Says it's it's incredible that because of the vaccines, which I and my administration came up with years ahead of schedule, parenthesis, despite the fact that everybody, including Fauci, would said it would never happen, end of parentheses, that we no longer need masks.

00:23:37.000 And yet, our names are not even mentioned in what everybody is calling a modern-day miracle of the vaccines.

00:23:43.000 Without the vaccines, this would have been, would have been in, we would have been, this world would have been in for another 1917 Spanish flu where up to 100 million people died.

00:23:52.000 Because of the vaccines, we pushed and developed in record time.

00:23:55.000 Nothing like that will even come close to happening.

00:23:58.000 Just a mention, please.

00:24:01.000 The Biden administration had zero to do with it.

00:24:03.000 And they did, all they did was continue our plan of distribution, which was working well right from the beginning.

00:24:09.000 Listen, when it comes to vaccines, we've always said it on this show.

00:24:12.000 Charlie and I are very much of one mind when it comes to this.

00:24:16.000 We're agnostic.

00:24:17.000 If you want to get a vaccine, get the vaccine.

00:24:19.000 If you don't want to get the vaccine, don't get the vaccine.

00:24:22.000 But what this is all creating is a very clear scenario where some folks are going to have the vaccine and their whole lives are going to open before them in theory.

00:24:34.000 But what are the folks that there's a couple of different groups I want to highlight here?

00:24:38.000 If you're under 12, the CDC director, and actually, I think we have this clip.

00:24:44.000 Yeah, let's actually play clip 81.

00:24:46.000 What happens when you're under 12?

00:24:47.000 Matt O asks this of Director Walensky here.

00:24:50.000 Clip 81.

00:24:51.000 But if you've got kids under age 12, how do you approach this new guidance within your family?

00:24:56.000 Do kids need to keep wearing masks if they can't be vaccinated, even if their older siblings and their parents have been vaccinated and they don't have to wear masks? 0.70

00:25:05.000 We have to treat them as unvaccinated.

00:25:07.000 So, yes, those children still do have to wear a mask to protect themselves. 0.95

00:25:12.000 Same mitigation strategies apply for 12 and under.

00:25:15.000 I mean, that's a pretty harsh thing, right?

00:25:19.000 Let me just tell you folks, I've been doing this since roughly the beginning of this whole thing.

00:25:23.000 My kids don't wear masks.

00:25:25.000 I think it's silly to put them on them.

00:25:27.000 I think it's dehumanizing.

00:25:29.000 And guess what?

00:25:31.000 If, you know, if the vaccines work, and this is the whole, this gets to the root of the whole problem.

00:25:36.000 If vaccines really do work, then if you are somebody who's not vaccinated, but you interact with somebody who is, then they're already covered, okay?

00:25:47.000 They're already protected by their vaccine.

00:25:50.000 That's, I mean, isn't that the way vaccines work?

00:25:53.000 We never had these silly rules in flu season when people would get vaccinated and others wouldn't.

00:25:58.000 And the flu kills tons of people, thousands, tens of thousands every year, sometimes over 100,000 people.

00:26:04.000 Hospitalizes tens of thousands of people.

00:26:07.000 At least every year before this last winter, when there was the flu, you know, miraculously disappeared.

00:26:16.000 Which we'll just leave at that because, you know, I don't know.

00:26:19.000 I'm not sure what happened to the flu.

00:26:20.000 I think it's going to take the flu years and years to recover.

00:26:25.000 Nevertheless, so 12, 12, and under, and as you might remember, and I don't know that we actually covered it on this show, so I'll just say it for the sake of saying it.

00:26:33.000 The Pfizer vaccine, I believe, has been approved for 12 and older.

00:26:39.000 So ages 12 and up are now approved to get the vaccine.

00:26:45.000 So that's one group.

00:26:46.000 The other group is: what if you've already gotten the virus?

00:26:50.000 I have actually gotten the virus, tested positive, had some symptoms, relatively minor, wasn't a big deal.

00:26:57.000 I actually kept working through the entire experience and then it was gone.

00:27:02.000 Felt great.

00:27:03.000 Never really had.

00:27:04.000 And obviously, everybody's different.

00:27:06.000 I'm not denying the fact that some people got the virus and it was very serious for them.

00:27:11.000 All I'm saying, what about me?

00:27:14.000 I'm hearing reports that some folks, if you had the virus and then you got vaccinated after having the virus, that your experience of getting vaccinated is actually a lot worse.

00:27:28.000 I'm not sure how much data there is to support this, but there is a lot of rumors that are going around about it.

00:27:34.000 So, what about those folks?

00:27:37.000 You might recall all last year, and even President Trump said this constantly.

00:27:41.000 He was talking about the fact that he was immune because he came down with the coronavirus.

00:27:48.000 So, he was like, I'm immune.

00:27:50.000 And at that point, they said that you were immune for like 12 months, and then all of a sudden, President Trump got the virus, and then they quickly shortened it to like four months.

00:27:58.000 You're immune for four months.

00:27:59.000 Well, it's still not clear, and nobody's talking about it.

00:28:02.000 As a matter of fact, I tried to research it for this show today, couldn't find anything definitive.

00:28:07.000 It's like they've completely rushed past the fact that if you have the virus, you may or may not be immune.

00:28:14.000 So, why would you get a vaccination for something if you're already immune?

00:28:18.000 That's a really big question.

00:28:20.000 Now, the third thing that I want to talk about with this is it creates this whole notion that there will be this push by businesses, and especially in blue states, to figure out who is vaccinated, who is not.

00:28:34.000 So, you either have your badge that you wear on your chest, a la certain fascist governments of the 1930s, and you get to come in or go out, or you don't.

00:28:50.000 Now, I've seen a lot of chatter on this online about people that are creating kind of black market vaccination passports.

00:29:00.000 And, you know, you can do your own Google due diligence, or better yet, DuckDuckGo.

00:29:05.000 Don't use Google.

00:29:07.000 Keep your privacy intact. 0.99

00:29:09.000 But there is going to be an absolute rush in black market passports, vaccine passports. 0.64

00:29:14.000 Now, they want to call them certificates and all of this. 0.61

00:29:16.000 They're passports.

00:29:18.000 And they should be illegal. 0.96

00:29:19.000 Every red state should make them illegal.

00:29:21.000 This is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.

00:29:26.000 And what they have diminished us into, and it's so hard to watch it happen, is the land of the absolute panicked and fearful and timid and the lockdowns.

00:29:40.000 It's not the land of the free.

00:29:41.000 It's the land of the lockdowns.

00:29:43.000 Unless they tell you that.

00:29:44.000 So paternalistic Joe Biden is going to tell you that you have your choice.

00:29:52.000 And guess what?

00:29:54.000 There's no rule.

00:29:55.000 You don't have to get the vaccination or wear a mask.

00:29:57.000 You can make up your own decisions.

00:30:00.000 There is a choice.

00:30:01.000 And that choice is that you are going to live in courage.

00:30:04.000 And you're going to say, Joe Biden, you don't get to tell me what to do.

00:30:08.000 You don't tell me to wait until July 4th.

00:30:11.000 Because if you go across red state America and even in certain places in blue states, we've been free since the moment we decided to be free.

00:30:20.000 And no government official can tell us not to be.

00:30:24.000 In 1857, the SS Central, also known as the Gold Ship, sank with 9.1 tons of gold on board, valued at $2.1 million.

00:30:32.000 That is the modern day equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars, the greatest American treasure ever discovered at sea.

00:30:38.000 Today, Noble Gold, a California-based company with a pristine reputation, has a share of these coins available to their clients.

00:30:44.000 Over 7,000 gold coins, mostly $1, $5, and $20 gold coins from 1840, 1857, were recovered from the SS Central America shipwreck.

00:30:53.000 Most of these coins were from the ship of gold, were quickly acquired by private collectors when the coins were first brought to the market in 2000.

00:31:00.000 Now, Noble Gold's clients can get this unforgettable part of American history at a fair, affordable valuation.

00:31:05.000 Contact Noble Gold and ask about the Kirk shipwreck deal.

00:31:08.000 To receive this unique offer, visit noblegoldinvestments.com and then call a Noble Gold representative to ask about the shipwreck coins.

00:31:14.000 It's time to tell better stories at your parties by showcasing a one-of-kind coins from collection destined to rise in value, noblegoldinvestments.com.

00:31:25.000 This is from CNN.

00:31:27.000 I think it's actually really hilarious.

00:31:29.000 Congressional Democrats have a 100% vaccination rate.

00:31:33.000 Oh, they get gold stars. 0.97

00:31:35.000 Good for them.

00:31:38.000 They don't even realize that they're all still living in preschool and they're just looking for the approval of their peers and of Big Brother.

00:31:48.000 So listen to this.

00:31:49.000 Democratic lawmakers in both chambers of Congress have 100% vaccination rate against COVID-19.

00:31:55.000 A CNN survey of Capitol Hill found this week, significantly outpacing Republicans in the House and Senate, illustrating the partisan divide over the pandemic.

00:32:08.000 For Republicans, at least 44.8% of House members are vaccinated, and at least 92% of senators are CNN found.

00:32:17.000 So the House, I mean, it kind of makes me, you know, bless the founders secretly.

00:32:25.000 It's supposed to be the people's house.

00:32:26.000 It's supposed to be a representation of the people.

00:32:29.000 Now, again, just to reiterate, if you want to get vaccinated, God bless you.

00:32:35.000 If you don't want to get vaccinated, God bless you.

00:32:37.000 The key here is that you should not allow some government bureaucrat or Rachel Maddow to look at you and tell you that you are evil, selfish, anti-vaxxer, anti-science, that you are a terrible person because you don't want to get vaxed.

00:32:55.000 Or because you don't want to wear a face diaper, an obedience diaper on your face.

00:33:02.000 Even if CNN doesn't give you five stars.

00:33:07.000 And guess what?

00:33:08.000 The people's house is representative of the people.

00:33:13.000 Now, we know that at least 50% of Americans are skeptical or hesitant about getting the vaccine.

00:33:20.000 And that's okay.

00:33:21.000 That's okay.

00:33:22.000 If you are worried about your life, get vaccinated.

00:33:26.000 If you think that that's going to help you, get vaccinated.

00:33:29.000 By all means.

00:33:31.000 I personally am not taking it.

00:33:33.000 I've personally already had COVID, recovered very quickly.

00:33:37.000 It was not that bad.

00:33:40.000 But the point here is that you should be free.

00:33:43.000 You should be free.

00:33:45.000 That word freedom.

00:33:47.000 I think we throw it around a lot in conservative circles and we forget what it actually means sometimes.

00:33:52.000 Free.

00:33:54.000 You should be free.

00:33:55.000 This is not a word that we should take lightly.

00:33:59.000 This is our American God-given inheritance to be free.

00:34:03.000 And they're trying to take that from us in a very sneaky sort of big brother.

00:34:12.000 They're trying to use the levers of government.

00:34:16.000 Yes, but they're actually trying to use psychological effects on us and the bullying tactics, their mass media arms, their influence, their celebrities, all of this.

00:34:30.000 Here's one exception to that.

00:34:32.000 Bill Maher got vaccinated.

00:34:35.000 And news came out today that Bill Maher tested positive for coronavirus.

00:34:39.000 And a tweet from the official real-time with Bill Maher, and we've been playing Bill Maher's clips here a lot lately because he's just been fantastic.

00:34:48.000 I mean, I've disagreed with Bill Maher on a ton of stuff, but the guy is at least intellectually honest.

00:34:53.000 And when he believes something, he'll say it.

00:34:56.000 Where so many on the left are too afraid in the kowtow.

00:35:02.000 So here, Bill tested positive during a weekly staff PCR testing for COVID, read the announcement.

00:35:07.000 He is fully vaccinated and as a result is asymptomatic and feels fine.

00:35:12.000 You know, that's apparently a thing.

00:35:14.000 So they're going to skip taping this week.

00:35:16.000 And it's the first time he's missed taping of real-time, apparently in a long time.

00:35:22.000 So he's making jokes about being Cal Ripken Jr., right?

00:35:27.000 So he's been vocal, though, about his thoughts on the coronavirus pandemic.

00:35:31.000 And we've played some of those clips on this show because they're fantastic.

00:35:35.000 But he basically says that the left has become a scientific.

00:35:41.000 They're not following the science because they've been fed a croc from the liberal establishment media for months now.

00:35:52.000 And the polls show it.

00:35:53.000 And he calls them out on that.

00:35:54.000 Basically, if you're a leftist, you think you're like, if you get coronavirus, you're like 50% likely going to die.

00:35:58.000 Bill Maher called that out. 0.83

00:36:01.000 He calls it panic porn.

00:36:03.000 So the point is, this comes at weird timing for the left.

00:36:06.000 CDC lifts the mask mandate for vaccinated, and yet the vaccinated guy gets COVID, one of their own.

00:36:13.000 It's very confusing times.

00:36:15.000 What do you make of it?

00:36:16.000 Liberal minds will just continue exploding.

00:36:16.000 I don't know.

00:36:19.000 And for that, we will all have a chuckle.

00:36:21.000 But what we haven't talked about here just yet is what are conservatives reacting to the new guidance?

00:36:30.000 What's the reaction?

00:36:32.000 Well, I could sum it up in one tweet by Senator Marshall Blackburn.

00:36:37.000 Why today?

00:36:38.000 The science hasn't changed.

00:36:41.000 And that is completely reasonable.

00:36:44.000 That is a completely reasonable reaction to what's just happened.

00:36:48.000 Now, conservatives are basically saying that the timing is really, really suspicious.

00:36:56.000 You've got exploding violence in the Middle East, largely fueled by Joe Biden's own weakness in the region, all the signals that he's sent.

00:37:07.000 So here's what is so frustrating.

00:37:10.000 And I think many of you can share this with me, share this frustration with me.

00:37:14.000 Is that when Joe Biden says, well, I didn't cause the border surge.

00:37:18.000 Well, yeah, you kind of did. 0.95

00:37:21.000 You sent every signal to illegal immigrants south of the border. 0.99

00:37:26.000 Say, hey, come on up. 1.00

00:37:27.000 I'm a nice guy.

00:37:28.000 I'm not going to hurt you.

00:37:29.000 We're not going to do anything to you.

00:37:30.000 We're not going to put you out.

00:37:32.000 And so what do they do?

00:37:33.000 They surge.

00:37:34.000 He's done similar messaging to folks in the Middle East.

00:37:39.000 He says, well, you know, I'm going to reopen talks with Iran.

00:37:43.000 I'm going to send $235 million to the Palestinians.

00:37:48.000 And I'm, you know, by the way, I'm thinking about unfreezing a couple billion dollars of Iranian money. 0.54

00:37:56.000 So what happens with all that money? 0.73

00:37:58.000 Well, it goes into funding rockets that they lobby at Israel.

00:38:03.000 So point is, this is all Joe Biden's creation.

00:38:08.000 It's taken 100 days to essentially bring about an unprecedented level of, at least within the last, at least in the 21st century, of inflation.

00:38:21.000 He's got chaos in the Middle East.

00:38:24.000 He's got an oil pipeline crisis that he's completely bungled.

00:38:31.000 And I want to go into that in just a second.

00:38:34.000 And so point is, there's a lot going on.

00:38:37.000 There's a lot that we can talk about and that we can actually, we have some really legitimate things to say about Biden's mishandling of this economy and of this country.

00:38:48.000 Okay.

00:38:49.000 So I actually really like what Andy Biggs said.

00:38:52.000 Representative Andy Biggs from Arizona, friend of the show, has been on.

00:38:56.000 It says, while the new mask guidance is increasing, CDC and my far radical left colleagues only chose to do this to distract from the consequences of catastrophic policy decisions that have been heard around the world.

00:39:09.000 Inflation is rising.

00:39:10.000 The Middle East is in shambles. 0.97

00:39:12.000 The working class can't fill up their gas tanks. 1.00

00:39:14.000 Our border is being overrun.

00:39:16.000 The Biden administration's leadership is nowhere to be found.

00:39:20.000 Here, here, Representative Andy Biggs.

00:39:22.000 I completely agree.

00:39:24.000 This timing is very interesting.

00:39:26.000 There was a clip earlier in the week.

00:39:28.000 I'm not sure if we've got it handy or not, but there was a clip earlier the week of the CDC director.

00:39:35.000 Let's see if we can find it.

00:39:37.000 Even if we can't, Walinski basically was telling CNN, I believe, saying, We're so excited.

00:39:44.000 We can't.

00:39:44.000 It was Cuomo.

00:39:45.000 Can't wait to update the guidance.

00:39:47.000 We're so close.

00:39:48.000 And even Cuomo, Chris Cuomo was saying, Well, you know, what's the evidence that we can't do this?

00:39:53.000 Well, it turns out the next day they updated the guidance.

00:39:55.000 They were out in force.

00:39:57.000 They were going through their media channels.

00:39:59.000 Looks like we had that clip.

00:40:00.000 Go ahead and play that clip of Walensky on Chris Cuomo.

00:40:04.000 What data do you have that suggests you need to go slow before you let people completely unmask and live their lives if they've gotten the vaccine?

00:40:13.000 Well, you know, we know that data are emerging, have been emerging with regard to the variants, specifically the UK variant, the Brazil variant.

00:40:22.000 With those variants here, we do want to make sure that those data are going to be out and demonstrate that our vaccines will work.

00:40:29.000 And I'm looking forward to updating our guidance very soon.

00:40:33.000 Right.

00:40:33.000 And then she goes on Matt Out last night and says, I'm very sure that this is the right guidance.

00:40:38.000 Okay.

00:40:39.000 So the way this works, folks, if you're not in media, you never work orders.

00:40:45.000 So what happened was the CDC's comms director got on the phone and called CNN and said, hey, listen, there's some big news coming up, and we want your help in breaking it.

00:40:55.000 And this is going to be huge.

00:40:57.000 Okay, what is it?

00:40:57.000 Well, okay, this is off the record.

00:40:59.000 Okay, yeah, of course, of course.

00:41:01.000 We're going to be updating the CDC guidance, but we're not quite ready to do it.

00:41:04.000 We want to start seeding that messaging out there to sort of start something's going to change so it doesn't come out of nowhere.

00:41:13.000 So they call, so they call up Chris Cuomo's producer.

00:41:15.000 They say, okay, let's do it.

00:41:16.000 Let's do it.

00:41:17.000 Let's get Walensky on.

00:41:18.000 Let's start talking about it.

00:41:18.000 Let's get her.

00:41:20.000 Okay, what kind of question should I ask?

00:41:21.000 Okay, well, here's the approved questions.

00:41:23.000 Okay, so then they get the approved questions.

00:41:26.000 CDC says, okay, that'll work.

00:41:27.000 That'll work.

00:41:28.000 So then Dr. Walinski goes up there and I can't tell you just yet, but we're very close to updating.

00:41:34.000 And Chris Cuomo obliges and says, well, why can't we take our masks off if we've been vaccinated?

00:41:42.000 He's like the one stooge at CNN who's asking this question.

00:41:45.000 But that gave her the opening to sort of start layering it in there.

00:41:49.000 Now, why would they want to layer it in there?

00:41:51.000 Well, because, as it turns out, well, listen, allegedly, okay, there is reason to believe that they needed a distraction this week.

00:42:03.000 The Biden administration is under incredible pressure for mishandling everything from the border to inflation.

00:42:10.000 Inflation's not coming.

00:42:11.000 Inflation is very much here.

00:42:14.000 To the pipeline, it's Jimmy Carter 2.0 on steroids.

00:42:22.000 This is what we've been saying.

00:42:23.000 Jimmy Carter 2.0 on steroids, and the administration knows it.

00:42:26.000 So what do they need?

00:42:28.000 Let's flip the switch.

00:42:29.000 We've held this ace in the hole for the whole time.

00:42:32.000 So we're ready to play the card.

00:42:34.000 Let's play the card. 0.93

00:42:35.000 No more masks for the vaccinated. 0.81

00:42:37.000 Boom. 0.97

00:42:38.000 Big win.

00:42:39.000 Everybody's supposed to celebrate. 1.00

00:42:41.000 But they didn't see one thing coming: that they have created a culture of utter wusses, cowards. 0.99

00:42:54.000 And there's actually a name for this. 0.99

00:42:56.000 It's called Cave Syndrome.

00:42:59.000 So you've got this big announcement that's supposed to be met with tremendous applause and adoration and thank you.

00:43:07.000 Thank you, Father Biden, for letting us take our masks off.

00:43:12.000 But even the left is saying, this is too soon.

00:43:15.000 This is very drastic.

00:43:17.000 I don't feel comfortable.

00:43:18.000 I still want to wear my mask.

00:43:20.000 And you got the right saying, well, this is just...

00:43:22.000 This is just a distraction from a very, very bad week for the Biden administration.

00:43:29.000 Well, there is a psychiatrist in Miami who's called it the Cave Syndrome.

00:43:33.000 And it describes people when they're reluctant to return to normal life after COVID.

00:43:39.000 So there's a story of a 37-year-old mother in this, in the story regarding this Cave syndrome.

00:43:47.000 She became debilitated while being trapped at home during quarantine.

00:43:52.000 What it was doing to me psychologically was very detrimental to my health.

00:43:55.000 My depression and anxiety skyrocketed, Russell says.

00:43:59.000 And Dr. Bregman, the guy who coined this term Cave syndrome, says Russell isn't the only one with these troubles.

00:44:04.000 The reluctance to leave home has become exacerbated during the pandemic, affecting many of his patients, especially those with preexisting conditions like anxiety.

00:44:14.000 Quote, so people, and it's subtle, it's really agoraphobia.

00:44:18.000 Even people who didn't have agoraphobia, which is the fear of open spaces, have it now.

00:44:25.000 Do you see what they've done to us?

00:44:29.000 So you've got something that should be celebrated: that we are, you know, masks, the whole masks tyranny is sort of coming to an end, but they've so politicized it, including the CDC, that we can't trust it on the left and the right.

00:44:46.000 Meanwhile, you've got unprecedented amounts of agoraphobia happening amongst people that have been sheltering in place for the last 12 months, living in their little dingy apartments all over the country, waiting to be told it's okay to go out.

00:45:01.000 And when they're told it's okay to go out, they can't because we broke them.

00:45:07.000 Look, by now, you've all heard me talk about my pillow and how Mike has done it again by introducing his MySlippers.

00:45:13.000 Mike Lindell, he's got a lot of ambition.

00:45:16.000 He's a patriot.

00:45:17.000 He loves his country.

00:45:18.000 A lot of people like Mike Lindell.

00:45:20.000 In fact, I get emails from people.

00:45:21.000 They say, Charlie, how can I help you?

00:45:23.000 How can I help Mike Lindell?

00:45:25.000 How can I help the country?

00:45:26.000 Well, if you go to mypillow.com and buy anything with the promo code Kirk, it helps both of us.

00:46:02.000 One more story that I just saw that I just had to comment on. 0.81

00:46:05.000 This is the lovely Nancy Pelosi from the Bay Area, the leftist region, the most left region in the country, according to voting data.

00:46:17.000 So she was asked by CNN's Manu Raju whether or not she was going to change the voting, the requirements of members to wear masks on the House floor.

00:46:30.000 Now, we spoke about it earlier.

00:46:32.000 100% of Democrats are vaccinated, but only 40, I think, 44.8% of Republicans are.

00:46:42.000 And so she said, well, no, she's not going to change the rules.

00:46:47.000 So you still have to wear a mask on the House floor if you've been vaccinated and you're in Congress. 0.99

00:46:55.000 So yet again, they are completely full of crap and we should all call them on it. 0.99

00:47:00.000 Okay, that is that. 0.99

00:47:02.000 So the House members, unfortunately, are going to still have to wear masks.

00:47:07.000 Even though Joe Biden said, hey, get vaccinated or wear a mask until you do, the choice is yours.

00:47:12.000 Well, Nancy Pelosi has just broke with Joe Biden.

00:47:16.000 But there was a really fascinating story actually over here that I want to start talking about Israel.

00:47:24.000 You know, there's reports that 1,800 rockets have been flung at the Israelis from Gaza, which is a lot of rockets.

00:47:31.000 Their Iron Dome, by the way, this thing has been, we've actually posted some.

00:47:35.000 You can go to our Rumble account, Charlie Kirk's Rumble account.

00:47:39.000 We've posted videos of the Iron Dome there that are just remarkable.

00:47:44.000 Somebody went right up close to where these, I guess these anti-ballistic missiles are fired up that intercept these rockets being flung at them from Gaza.

00:47:56.000 And it's like a sea of rockets that are just flying up into the air, 90% accurate, meaning that 90% of the rockets, so if they're getting 1,800 have been now shot at Israel, at Ascalon, Tel Aviv, 90% of them are getting taken out of the air.

00:48:16.000 Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Force did something very interesting here.

00:48:22.000 And I want to get into the whole divide on the left that's happening that we're seeing very clearly between the far left and the more moderate left within the Democrat Party and their position on Israel because it's actually really tragic.

00:48:38.000 Nevertheless, I thought this was really fascinating.

00:48:43.000 That Israel, this report, Israel exaggerated the invasion to lure Hamas fighters into tunnel, then bombed them. 0.65

00:48:50.000 My goodness.

00:48:52.000 So what Israel did and the IDF did is they used social media and they used even the global press to intensify the idea that there was this ground incursion into the Gaza Strip on Friday morning.

00:49:09.000 So meanwhile, the fighters, the Hamas fighters in Gaza thought, oh no, they're coming for us.

00:49:15.000 They're invading Gaza.

00:49:17.000 Everybody, grab your weapons. 1.00

00:49:20.000 We must run to the battlefront and defeat the evil Israelis. 1.00

00:49:20.000 We must go. 1.00

00:49:25.000 And so what they did is they all came into this tunnel system that has been developed and dug out on the border with Israel and Gaza.

00:49:33.000 And as soon as those troops were in there, those terrorists, they bombed them.

00:49:38.000 I know we don't have death tolls from this yet, but we can only imagine that it's been pretty severe.

00:49:49.000 Yeah, there is no death toll numbers from what I can see yet, but the Hamas fighters were absolutely pummeled.

00:49:55.000 Lots of explosions were reported from this attack.

00:49:59.000 But I thought it was a very interesting insight into just how cunning the Israel Defense Forces truly are and how serious Israel is about defending itself in this time.

00:50:09.000 But this is truly a remarkable thing that the IDF is doing.

00:50:16.000 More reports on Israel when we get back on the other side of this break.

00:50:20.000 But like I said, Israel means business.

00:50:22.000 Everything that we can tell is truly, truly remarkable here.

00:50:27.000 Okay, so one other thing that I want to bring up here is that something I've been wondering about, this Iron Dome is firing hundreds and thousands of missiles into the air.

00:50:36.000 And actually, Senator Cruz is asking them to actually replenish Israel's Iron Dome missiles, asking the federal government.

00:50:43.000 Something nobody's talking about.

00:50:45.000 So I just wanted to throw that out there.

00:50:46.000 There is a limit to what they can do. 0.92

00:50:49.000 You don't even have to be on the side of Israel.

00:50:52.000 I mean, you don't have to have any feelings about the matter for that matter, just to admire the Iron Dome in all of its glory.

00:51:00.000 It's a truly remarkable achievement.

00:51:03.000 And if you haven't seen what it's capable of, I recommend that you go to Charlie Kirk's Rumble page where we have a bunch of videos on this stuff and check it out.

00:51:13.000 So I want to get into the squad.

00:51:16.000 I know the squad is, you know, sometimes we use it as a foil from talking about actually really important things, but what's actually important is the fact that they are pushing the entire Democrat establishment way to the left.

00:51:29.000 So, for example, this is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeting after the AFP news agency announced breaking.

00:51:38.000 Biden says Israel has the right to defend itself.

00:51:41.000 Well, it's about the only thing right Biden has done in this whole matter.

00:51:45.000 Nevertheless, AOC claps back with blanket statements like these with little context or acknowledgement of what precipitated this cycle of violence, namely the of Palestinians and attacks on Aska Mosque, dehumanize Palestinians and imply the U.S. will look the other way at human rights violations.

00:52:06.000 It's wrong.

00:52:08.000 Meanwhile, and listen, I don't mean to diminish the seriousness of the situation.

00:52:15.000 At the end of the day, however, this is a thousands of year old struggle that we're not going to probably get fixed today.

00:52:23.000 Although that being said, President Trump, peace through strength, had basically told the Palestinians to go pound sand.

00:52:29.000 You got no standing here. 0.96

00:52:30.000 We're going to back Israel. 0.99

00:52:32.000 And guess what? 0.97

00:52:32.000 We had years of relative peace. 0.97

00:52:34.000 Moved the embassy to Jerusalem.

00:52:36.000 They said the world was going to explode.

00:52:38.000 It didn't.

00:52:39.000 Because we were strong.

00:52:39.000 Why?

00:52:40.000 We let the Palestinians know that there's no negotiating on these pieces that have long been on the table.

00:52:48.000 And when you do that, you actually make peace possible because they're not going to quibble over some of these more hairy disputes.

00:52:57.000 Now, let's hear what's clip 98.

00:53:01.000 Rashida Tlaib compares the Palestinians living under apartheid to black people living in the U.S. Here we go.

00:53:08.000 Clip 98.

00:53:10.000 What we are telling Palestinians fighting apartheid is the same thing being told to my black neighbors and Americans throughout that are fighting against police brutality here.

00:53:21.000 There is no form of acceptable resistance to state violence.

00:53:27.000 As long as the message from Washington is that our military support for Israel is unconditional, Netanyahu's extremism, right-wing government will continue to expand settlements, continue to demolish homes, and continue to make the prospects for peace impossible.

00:53:43.000 Yeah, all right.

00:53:45.000 Extremist right-wing.

00:53:49.000 It's all part of their ploy.

00:53:52.000 They've used this against the American public to some effect.

00:53:56.000 And so they're going to now use it internationally. 1.00

00:53:59.000 Now, Rashida Tlaib is an absolute hack, and she's, I mean, she's just awful. 0.99

00:54:04.000 I can't, there's really no excuse for the fact that our country has a person like Rashida Tlaib as a representative. 1.00

00:54:13.000 Nevertheless, she's Palestinian first. 0.99

00:54:16.000 Her loyalties lie to Palestine, and she's proven that. 0.96

00:54:21.000 She had that map in her office. 0.58

00:54:25.000 It was much reported where she put a sticker over Israel.

00:54:29.000 And, you know, the point is she doesn't like Israel.

00:54:32.000 She never has. 0.97

00:54:33.000 She's very pro-Palestinian.

00:54:35.000 She's, I think, was born there.

00:54:37.000 Don't quote me on that.

00:54:38.000 I get a little confused.

00:54:39.000 The point is, the squad is getting it all wrong.

00:54:43.000 And what they're doing is they're causing this, and they know what they're doing.

00:54:47.000 They're causing enough tension within the Democrat Party that when Biden simply says that Israel has the right to defend itself when 1,800 rockets are being flung at it from Gaza, that that is somehow controversial.

00:55:01.000 So AOC says that this has little context or acknowledgement of what precipitated this cycle of violence, namely the expulsions of Palestinians.

00:55:10.000 Okay, so let's talk.

00:55:11.000 Let's stop right there. 0.99

00:55:12.000 The expulsion of Palestinians.

00:55:15.000 I did a bunch of digging into this.

00:55:17.000 And this is all around this neighborhood called Sheikh Jara.

00:55:22.000 And it's a property dispute.

00:55:24.000 It's been adjudicated in Israeli courts for 50 years.

00:55:27.000 And it goes all the way back to the 1800s when certain Jewish settlers, Zionists, bought parcels of land.

00:55:35.000 They owned it.

00:55:36.000 And then in the 1948 war, most of this area was abandoned.

00:55:40.000 The Jordanian army took that land and seized it from Jewish families.

00:55:45.000 Okay, now it's a very complicated case.

00:55:47.000 And it's not forced expulsion.

00:55:50.000 This has been adjudicated in the Israeli courts by independent, well, let's see, the judicial system, private citizens adjudicated in an independent court, right?

00:56:02.000 So this has long been running.

00:56:04.000 It's 50 years now in the making that this has been litigated there.

00:56:10.000 And it's about a half dozen families that would have been implicated, and they've even put that off.

00:56:14.000 Okay. 0.96

00:56:14.000 Now let's deal with the Al-As Aksa Mos, right? 0.96

00:56:18.000 It's the third holiest site in all of Islam.

00:56:23.000 So there were talks about that there was explosions and that they were attacking the mosque.

00:56:27.000 Well, no, what they were doing is that there were Palestinians hurling rocks at Israeli police.

00:56:33.000 And so what they did is they fired stun grenades and tear gas in order to clear it up. 0.79

00:56:38.000 But here's the truth. 0.90

00:56:39.000 Al-Aqsa has been controlled by Muslim authorities.

00:56:46.000 The other thing you have to know here is that the Israeli military rerouted a parade that was celebrating the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967 to placate the Palestinians.

00:56:58.000 So we talked about this with Sebastian Gorka earlier this week.

00:57:02.000 But on one side, you have to, when we think about this conflict, we have to think about it like this.

00:57:07.000 On the one hand, it should be their conflict to wage. 0.50

00:57:12.000 I sometimes think that the U.S. and our foreign policy, especially over the years, you go back to the 80s and 90s, even Jimmy Carter in the 70s, we've had this messianic complex when it comes to Israel, that we want to be the brokers of the peace, and we somehow think that we can cut through generations upon generations of bad blood that has existed. 0.71

00:57:35.000 And on the one hand, I look at what Trump was able to accomplish, and I think, you know, pretty impressive.

00:57:42.000 I think the whole world thinks it's impressive, frankly, especially when we're seeing what's happening now.

00:57:47.000 Now, whether they'll admit it or not is another thing.

00:57:50.000 But the Abraham Accords, peace treaty signed with four different nations in Israel, unprecedented amount of stability in the region.

00:58:00.000 And so on the one hand, I think that that's fair.

00:58:04.000 Now, on the other hand, when we are weighing in, we're seeing that the Democrat Party wants to turn Israel into they, what are the words they're using?

00:58:19.000 They're using the same words against Israel that they use against American conservatives.

00:58:23.000 Far-right wing, ethnic cleansing.

00:58:29.000 Rashida Tlaib said it's how we treat they treat Palestinians like we treat black people in this country. 0.98

00:58:34.000 This is insane, by the way.

00:58:38.000 The types of analogies that the left is prone to.

00:58:43.000 They've got no brake pad.

00:58:45.000 And so, what they're doing is they're complicating.

00:58:48.000 So, these four little squad members, you know, from these dubious backgrounds are causing international turmoil because they are weakening Biden's resolve to actually take a firm stance here because he's got to watch his left flank. 0.90

00:59:07.000 So, look at the power that these four women have.

00:59:10.000 It's actually, you know, yeah, I don't agree with it.

00:59:13.000 I don't like it, but I'm fairly impressed.

00:59:15.000 You got to give a hat tip. 0.99

00:59:16.000 They're insane, and yet they're able to essentially destabilize the Middle East. 1.00

00:59:23.000 Fairly incredible. 0.99

00:59:25.000 But when we're talking about these analogies that are not rooted in truth, they're just completely insane and hyperbolic.

00:59:35.000 Let's turn our attention to the USA Today.

00:59:38.000 This is truly unbelievable.

00:59:39.000 So, this is apparently David Mastio, writing for the USA Today, and he's apparently a conservative.

00:59:49.000 He says, after ousting Liz Cheney, Republicans prove they're a bigger threat than the 9-11 hijackers.

00:59:56.000 That's right.

00:59:57.000 That's right.

00:59:58.000 So, he says, I don't, at first, I'm inclined to agree that these comparisons are crazy.

01:00:04.000 You know, the only person who clearly died from the violence on January 6th was a Trump supporter, Ashley Babbitt.

01:00:10.000 We still don't know who killed her, by the way.

01:00:13.000 Pretty incredible that the establishment and the authorities and the leaders that be in these instances rally behind the privacy of one Capitol police officer that shot and killed one of the Trump supporters on site at the Capitol that day.

01:00:30.000 And we still don't know who that is.

01:00:31.000 And if she was on the other foot, we would have known within about 15 minutes.

01:00:35.000 Nevertheless, so how on earth is it reasonable to compare?

01:00:40.000 This is what David Mastio is saying.

01:00:43.000 How on earth is it reasonable to compare the Capitol insurrection to the 9-11 attacks, which killed 2,977 people?

01:00:49.000 Well, of course it's not.

01:00:51.000 He said Kurt Bardella, USA Today contributor, made this comparison on MSNBC this week.

01:00:56.000 Let's play that clip.

01:00:58.000 Let's hear this clip comparing the 9-11 attacks to the insurrection.

01:01:04.000 And it's really something hearing those comments from President George W. Bush.

01:01:08.000 I've been thinking to myself this whole time: you know, Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, the people who wanted to do harm to our nation and to our way of life and our democracy, they got nothing on what this Republican Party is doing.

01:01:24.000 Did you hear that?

01:01:26.000 Al-Qaeda's got nothing on what this Republican Party is doing.

01:01:30.000 Now, this writer laments the fact that Fox News and others face backlash from Fox News and others for an insane comment that you never should have made.

01:01:42.000 And you rightly were ridiculed because of it.

01:01:45.000 And at first, I was inclined to agree that, again, this is David Mastio with USA Today.

01:01:51.000 But then, then I really thought hard about it.

01:01:55.000 And I realized that because they got rid of Liz Cheney, that Republicans are actually a bigger threat than Al-Qaeda and the 9-11 hijackers.

01:02:05.000 They think that the housekeeping of the Republican Party leadership, where the third in command doesn't agree with anybody else in her party and in the House, getting rid of that person from leadership is somehow akin to being worse than the 9-11 hijackers.

01:02:21.000 Let's play clip 103.

01:02:23.000 Now, I'll tell you, Nicole, I said something the other day on this network that's gotten a lot of attention over on the Fox News line that triggered them.

01:02:29.000 And I believe that I think that right now, the biggest threat we have to face for the future of our freedom is the threat from within.

01:02:36.000 It's this enemy from within built within the Republican Party that is doing everything that they can at every level, local, state, national, to create a system where they are the ones who always win.

01:02:47.000 And anyone else who does, they try to undermine.

01:02:50.000 They try to delegitimize.

01:02:52.000 That's exactly the type of things that when they happen in other parts of the world, we call that terrorism.

01:02:58.000 You know, I kind of agree with them on some level, except the enemy within is not the Republican Party.

01:03:05.000 They're trying to set right the chaos unleashed by the American left in this last election and other ways.

01:03:11.000 And frankly, with critical race theory and cultural Marxism, all of these things that are marching their way through our institutions, the long march through the institutions that the Marxists have always dreamed of.

01:03:20.000 Well, we're watching it unfold. 1.00

01:03:22.000 So the enemy within is guys like this idiot that are saying that, you know, Republicans are terrorists. 1.00

01:03:28.000 And then you got guys that are actually that USA Today will actually publish saying that Republicans are a bigger threat than 9-11 hijackers. 1.00

01:03:36.000 Are you kidding me?

01:03:37.000 What is his logic? 1.00

01:03:39.000 His logic is, of course, idiotic. 1.00

01:03:41.000 But nevertheless, you got to hear it to believe it. 1.00

01:03:44.000 That after 9-11, the leaders, financiers, and backers of the terrorists had their one shot at tearing down America.

01:03:50.000 Their only hope was to hide in caves and pray we wouldn't find them.

01:03:53.000 After January 6th, the leaders, financiers, and backers of the insurrection feel no such fear.

01:03:58.000 Trump is plotting his comeback at Mar-a-Lago.

01:04:01.000 Well, it's not true, actually.

01:04:02.000 He went up to Bedminster now.

01:04:03.000 He's in New Jersey.

01:04:04.000 And we are going to have three more rallies that just got announced.

01:04:07.000 Trump rallies are coming back this summer.

01:04:09.000 Two in June and one on July 3rd.

01:04:11.000 They're picking their locations right now.

01:04:12.000 It's probably going to be more like the airplane hanger style that he perfected.

01:04:19.000 Unfortunately, Air Force One will not be behind him, but he's got some nice planes, so we're not too worried about it.

01:04:24.000 So they're saying that we are diminishing faith in the election system.

01:04:31.000 Well, no, actually, folks, we're restoring faith in the election system.

01:04:35.000 And I just want to encourage all of you legislators at the state level, all across the country, maybe you're listening right now.

01:04:41.000 Please steal your spine, as Joe Biden tried to say earlier.

01:04:47.000 You need to, and that was about getting vaccinated wearing your mess.

01:04:50.000 But you need to steal your spine.

01:04:52.000 You need to find the courage to continue moving forward.

01:04:56.000 I don't care if they call you Jim Crow 2.0, whatever.

01:05:01.000 Push the election reforms that are so needed in this country to ensure that we have a fair and honest election system.

01:05:10.000 So, on that note, please go to charliekirk.com.

01:05:12.000 We got a new article up right now, headline, Maricopa Audit Update.

01:05:17.000 So, if you're wondering what's going on with the update, we got it all for you right there at charliekirk.com.

01:05:21.000 County deleted directory full of election databases days before delivery for audit.

01:05:27.000 All right.

01:05:28.000 So, there is a lot going on.

01:05:30.000 There's actually three main issues.

01:05:31.000 We've got it all laid out there.

01:05:33.000 I'm going to run out of time.

01:05:34.000 I can't go into all of it, but just the top line here: ongoing non-compliance with the legislative subpoenas.

01:05:39.000 These people are under subpoenas and they're not complying.

01:05:42.000 What are they afraid of?

01:05:43.000 Ask yourself: what are they afraid of?

01:05:46.000 Another thing, chain of custody and ballot organization anomalies.

01:05:49.000 The Senate's contractors have become aware of apparent omissions, inconsistencies, and anomalies relating to Maricopa's handling, organization, and storage of ballots.

01:05:59.000 And then, third, this is the big bombshell: deleted databases.

01:06:02.000 The entire database directory from the D-drive of the machines EMS primary has been deleted.

01:06:09.000 This was 10 days before they were handed over to the auditors.

01:06:14.000 Now, this just means there's massive amounts of missing information from the database.

01:06:19.000 What's going on here, folks?

01:06:21.000 Trump has been making comments about that.

01:06:23.000 But if you are all confused, go to charliekirk.com, check out that article.

01:06:27.000 We got it up there for you.

01:06:28.000 Guys, it has been so much fun to be with you this week.

01:06:32.000 I've had an absolute blast.

01:06:33.000 If Charlie doesn't come back for a few days, I'll be okay with that next week.

01:06:36.000 Week, but I assure you, he is coming back.

01:06:38.000 It has been an honor.

01:06:39.000 See you guys later.
