00:00:00.000Today in the Charlie Kirk show, we go through Dr. Burks, Dr. Fauci, Donald Trump, one thing Trump should have done that might have saved his presidency.
00:00:09.000You might be able to guess throughout the episode.
00:00:10.000Email us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:13.000Maybe you got some extra stimulus money.
00:00:43.000If you want to get involved with Turning Point USA, go to tpusa.com, Dr. Fauci, Dr. Burks, Donald Trump, and at the end of the episode, they're trying to cancel classical music.
00:00:54.000You do not want to miss my commentary on it.
00:01:10.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:18.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:50.000Now, the intention of the media here is still unclear.
00:01:54.000I don't trust the activist media, and I don't trust their intentions when it comes towards covering these stories, but it is sort of nice.
00:02:02.000It's refreshing to see the Democrats have to play a little bit of defense for once.
00:02:07.000Dr. Burks and Dr. Fauci have been on a media blitz slandering former President Trump, saying that he was unequipped and impossible to work with when it came to the Chinese coronavirus.
00:02:21.000And President Trump had some very choice words for them.
00:02:25.000But before I get into that, I want to talk about what Joe Biden said at the White House in regards to reopening America.
00:02:32.000Joe Biden said, quote, I'm reiterating my call for every governor, mayor, and local leader to maintain and reinstate the mask mandate, Biden said at the White House, quote, please, this is not politics.
00:02:42.000Reinstate the mandate if you let it down.
00:02:45.000Meanwhile, the states that have reopened are actually faring much better than the ones that are not open.
00:02:51.000For example, Florida has the second oldest population in the country.
00:02:55.000Florida has one of the largest populations in the country.
00:02:58.000Phenomenal governor, Governor Ron DeSantis.
00:03:00.000And Florida has a much better virus infection rate, hospitalization rate, and death rate than states that were perpetually locked down, like Florida and California.
00:03:10.000And did you know that Florida actually has a more urban population than New York City, than New York, I should say, the state of New York?
00:03:18.000The quote from Politico is, Biden urges states to pause reopening as the Chinese coronavirus cases climb.
00:03:25.000Now, why cases are climbing is probably because we are reopening the country.
00:03:30.000The question is, is the vaccine actually making a difference?
00:03:35.000The question is, how big of a difference, we don't know.
00:03:37.000How effective the vaccine is remains unclear.
00:03:40.000I've said for quite some time the lockdowns should have ended last Easter once we had an idea of what we were dealing with.
00:03:46.000Every single lockdown, every single mandate should have been lifted.
00:03:50.000You should have trusted people to make decisions as they saw fit.
00:03:55.000Now, I'm not one to point out mistakes that President Trump made.
00:03:59.000I'm going to read from President Trump's statement here, and I agree with every single word of it.
00:04:04.000But then I'm also going to say something that I wish he would have done earlier.
00:04:09.000I think you could probably guess what it is.
00:04:11.000Donald Trump said in his statement, it's a long statement, based on their interviews, and I quote, I felt it was time to speak up about Dr. Fauci and Dr. Burks, the two self-promoters trying to reinvent history to cover for their bad instincts and faulty recommendations, which I fortunately almost always overturned.
00:04:27.000They had bad policy decisions that would have left our country open to China and others, close to reopening our economy and years away from an approved vaccine, putting millions of lives at risk.
00:04:37.000Now, let me just say something about the vaccine.
00:04:40.000We're getting a lot of questions about the Chinese coronavirus vaccine at freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:05:03.000Instead of going through committees and going through the FDA, he said, why don't we give these pharmaceutical companies everything they ask for and have them compete against each other, Moderna, Johnson ⁇ Johnson, and Pfizer, to try to get straight to market.
00:05:17.000Now, of course, the vaccine announcement came one week after the election.
00:05:22.000Why Johnson and Johnson, Moderna, or Pfizer were not able to announce that they had a working vaccine in September and October and give Donald Trump the credit is purely politics, purely politics.
00:05:33.000And Joe Biden, misrepresenting this and being a pathological liar, even though he got vaccinated under the Trump administration, says that he was left with no vaccine, no vaccine at all whatsoever.
00:05:44.000Donald Trump continues in his statement by saying, quote, in a fake interview with last night on CNN, Dr. Fauci, who said he was an athlete in college, but couldn't throw a baseball even close to home plate, it was a, quote, roller tried to take credit for the vaccine.
00:06:20.000The improbable, historic, nearly impossible effort by President Trump and his team through Operation Warp Speed to execute a successful vaccination development strategy is the envy of the world.
00:06:34.000America has always been the leader of the world.
00:06:36.000And by the way, when are we going to start to get thank yous from the rest of the world for our entrepreneurial drive?
00:06:44.000How free market capitalism was able to develop this innovation?
00:06:50.000When are we going to get thank yous from the rest of the world if they believe that this vaccination is working for them?
00:06:55.000They can't have it either way, or both ways, I should say.
00:06:58.000It's either this vaccination is wonderful, and thank you, United States of America, and thank you, President Trump, or it's terrible.
00:07:06.000The statement continues by saying, Dr. Fauci is also the king of, quote, flip-flops and moving the goalposts to make himself look as good as possible.
00:07:14.000He fought me so hard because he wanted to keep our country open to countries like China.
00:07:18.000I close it against his strong recommendation.
00:08:10.000It's people that have failed upward their entire life.
00:08:14.000It's people that, like Dr. Fauci, are part of the permanent medical industrial complex.
00:08:23.000I'm a big skeptic when it comes to the pharmaceutical companies, how many drugs we take in our country.
00:08:30.000I think we take way too many drugs in our country.
00:08:32.000I think natural solutions are far better than pharmaceuticals.
00:08:38.000We talk here on this program about drug-free solutions, and you guys have heard me talk about that quite often.
00:08:45.000An example for that in my own life, I had a bad back injury, and I realized that one leg is longer than the other.
00:08:51.000And by the way, if anyone listening to this has a back injury, I encourage you to get this checked out.
00:08:55.000It made a huge difference as soon as I got a three-millimeter lift in my shoe, a massive difference.
00:09:00.000And as soon as I got that three-millimeter lift in my shoe, a lot of the back pain started to go away.
00:09:05.000It's not all gone, and Relief Factor has helped with that a lot as well, and stretching and core workouts.
00:09:11.000The point I'm making is that sometimes there are non-pharmaceutical, non-opioid, non-addictive, non-medical industrial complex solutions, always be solution-oriented, that we should look for.
00:09:25.000The statement continues: he fought me so hard because he wanted to keep our country open to countries like China.
00:09:31.000I close it to his strong recommendation.
00:09:32.000I'm reading it twice, actually, which saved many lives.
00:09:35.000Dr. Fauci also said we did not need to wear masks.
00:09:38.000And then a few months later, he said we needed to wear masks.
00:09:41.000And now, two or three of them, Fauci spent United States money on the Wuhan laboratory in China.
00:09:49.000Now, Donald Trump is playing right into the conjecture, the theory that we have, that this virus originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:10:02.000Almost all evidence is pointing to this.
00:10:05.000It's more and more clear to those of us that actually care about the science, that care about epidemiology, not what Dr. Fauci says, that this was manufactured possibly as a bioweapon by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:10:18.000The statement that Donald Trump published about Dr. Burks and Dr. Fauci is worthy of going through piece by piece.
00:10:24.000And I'm going to get there, but I'm going to say one thing that I think the president should have done differently.
00:10:30.000I'm going to say one thing that will be a piece of, I don't know if it's criticism, it's honest feedback, where I think Donald Trump did not make the right decision.
00:10:43.000The statement continues by saying, Dr. Burks is a proven liar with very little credibility left.
00:10:50.000Many of her recommendations were viewed as, quote, pseudoscience.
00:11:13.000The statement continues and says, Dr. Fauci would always talk negatively about her and, in fact, would not ask to be in the same room with her.
00:11:24.000The states who followed her lead, like California, had worse outcomes on the Chinese coronavirus, had worse outcomes on the Chinese coronavirus from states like California who followed her lead and ruined the lives of countless children because they couldn't go to school, ruined many businesses and an untold number of Americans who were killed by the lockdowns themselves.
00:11:43.000I'm pleased to hear the president mention this.
00:11:46.000This was not going to be the main point of my disagreement with Trump, but he tolerated the lockdowns for far too long.
00:11:53.000The lockdowns should have been released from the top down in mid-April.
00:11:59.000We would not have had the same sort of economic catastrophe.
00:12:03.000We would not have had to suffer for as long as we did.
00:12:05.000We would not have lost 40% of our small businesses, mental health issues, and suicide.
00:12:10.000Those issues would not have presented themselves.
00:12:12.000We tolerated the anti-science lockdowns at an unreasonable cost, an immoral cost, I might say.
00:12:23.000Continues by saying, Dr. Burks was a terrible medical advisor, which is why I seldom followed her advice.
00:12:31.000Her motto should be, quote, do as I say, not as I do.
00:12:36.000Who can forget when Dr. Burks gave a huge mandate to the people of our nation not to travel and then traveled a great distance to see her family for Thanksgiving, only to have them call the police and turn her in?
00:12:49.000She then embarrassingly for her resigned, and that is true.
00:12:52.000Dr. Deborah Burks said one thing and did the other, no different than Andrew Cuomo walking the streets of New York without a mask.
00:12:59.000Lori Lightfoot going on vacation while being mayor of Chicago.
00:13:04.000J.B. Pritzker vacationing in Lake Geneva.
00:13:07.000How can we forget Gavin Newsom dining at French laundry, and he now faces a credible recall threat.
00:13:14.000And I'm getting so many emails on this.
00:13:19.000I want to support all of my amazing friends in California for executing the recall against Gavin Newsome.
00:13:27.000It's not official yet, but it is close.
00:13:30.000The more that we as conservatives and Americans play offense, the more that we push against the Democrats in control and the impossible fights for us to win, the less likely they are going to complete a totalitarian power grab of our country.
00:13:47.000So I just want to say for all the California patriots out there that are listening, thank you for working.
00:13:54.000My friend Teresa Hernandez, I don't know if she's listening to this.
00:15:59.000Well, first of all, I reject the premise.
00:16:01.000I don't know what KKK members Brett might be talking about.
00:16:04.000And just so the broader audience, just so you know, we did an entire campus tour last week.
00:16:09.000In fact, we are going to be in Nashville on Wednesday.
00:16:12.000I encourage you to check it out with Candace Owens, tpusa.com.
00:16:18.000I reject the premise that KKK members want to be part of the Republican Party.
00:16:23.000You might be referring to the one-off person that might have a Confederate flag here and there.
00:16:27.000It is important to remember that David Duke, the literal founder of the KKK, endorsed Elon Omar and hated Donald Trump because he thought he was too pro-Israel.
00:16:39.000And if your children, or maybe you, are being taught or you believe that the Republican Party and the Democrat Party switched, I highly encourage you to check out the podcast.
00:17:06.000Okay, this is the statement here from Donald Trump.
00:17:09.000And Donald Trump is, he's pushing back.
00:17:11.000He's pushing back against the media tour that Dr. Fauci and Dr. Burks were doing.
00:17:18.000And it finishes by saying, finally, Dr. Burks says she can't hear very well, but I can.
00:17:24.000There is, quote, no very difficult phone call other than Dr. Burks' policies that would have led us directly into Chinese coronavirus-caused depression.
00:17:33.000She was a very negative voice who didn't have the right answers.
00:18:32.000I'm only saying this to add context, that they should have been fired quickly and immediately.
00:18:37.000It's refreshing to see Donald Trump speak honestly about Dr. Anthony Fauci, the anti-science activist who cared much more about cable television appearances, front page magazine cameos, or the $1 million he got from the Israeli government, which makes me sick to my stomach, than actually benefiting the American people.
00:18:57.000That's not the right way to say it, representing the best interests of the American people, I should say.
00:19:02.000So this is a lesson for all of you out there.
00:19:05.000If you're in a position of leadership, leadership is hard.
00:19:08.000Leadership comes with perks, accolades, comes with responsibility as well.
00:19:14.000And you must be able to explain your decisions to the people that entrust you with their power, their resources, or their time.
00:19:25.000I wish Donald Trump would have fired Dr. Fauci and Dr. Burks like he fired Jeff Sessions.
00:19:33.000Now, maybe Donald Trump was thinking, hey, if I fire Dr. Burks and Dr. Fauci, they're just going to go on cable television and attack me endlessly.
00:19:41.000And there probably is a good argument for that.
00:19:44.000But they were undermining him at every single turn.
00:19:48.000Dr. Burks and Dr. Fauci were taking every opportunity they could to achieve a political aim, to use the apparatus of the medical industrial complex to use the most powerful position of authority, doctor, to make America in their lockdown image.
00:20:03.000It's the one portion of American society that I think gets the least amount of pushback, doctors.
00:20:09.000Doctors can be wrong, just like plumbers can be wrong, just like taxicab drivers can be wrong, just like professors can be wrong.
00:20:16.000Just because you have a DR in front of your name does not make you automatically right.
00:20:21.000Now, some of my dearest friends are doctors.
00:20:23.000Doctors have saved friends of mine lives.
00:20:27.000Doctors have played a very positive role in my life.
00:21:07.000And I appreciate Donald Trump clarifying the record.
00:21:10.000I'm just going to say this one last time.
00:21:12.000And I'd love your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:21:15.000They should have been fired publicly and decisively.
00:21:18.000And his medical team should have been staffed with loyal people who love their country and actually believed in science that were willing to talk about hydroxychloroquine, who were willing to talk about zinc, who were willing to talk about vitamin D, who were more focused on therapeutics than lockdowns.
00:21:36.000You see, that's where our entire conversation went wrong.
00:21:38.000For those of you that have been listening to us for over the year, by the way, our podcast has exploded over the last year.
00:21:46.000We are nearly, I don't know the exact number, we're an exponent bigger today than we were a year ago.
00:22:27.000It's very rare for people to agree to be free.
00:22:30.000It's much more common for people want to be taken care of.
00:22:35.000So anytime I see freedom or liberty start to be infringed upon, as soon as I start to see freedom of conscience, religious worship, freedom of commerce, small business, freedom of movement, travel restrictions, not leaving your home, there better be a really good reason why that's happening.
00:22:58.000And it has to be temporary, has to be specific, if that ever happens at all, if there's even an argument to say we are going to lock down the country as it is.
00:23:08.000And instead, we now have Bill Gates who says we are going to have the country locked down till 2022, to the end of 2022.
00:23:18.000If Dr. Fauci and Dr. Burks would have been fired publicly in April, like they should have, based on this statement, the leaking and the lying and the treachery and the deceitful nature and the arrogance, that combination is exactly what Dr. Burks and Dr. Fauci had.
00:23:39.000When you are committed to lying for a certain agenda, you are arrogant about it, like Dr. Fauci.
00:26:03.000The fact that Fauci and Burks were around so long only played into an anti-constitutional, should say unconstitutional, anti-science agenda.
00:26:13.000The scientific community led by those two was nothing more than a politicized arm of the Democrat Party to try to get Joe Biden elected.
00:27:26.000And by the way, I lived through a Monty Python skit recently.
00:27:31.000It was an undisclosed location where they're known for making potatoes, but I'm not going to talk about that.
00:27:36.000Oxford University may scrap sheet music for being complicit in white supremacy.
00:27:42.000Now, this is the University of Oxford is considering proposals that would remove sheet music from its curriculum over woke claims that teaching the Western form of musical notation has roots in colonialism and complicity in white supremacy.
00:27:55.000This is by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart.com.
00:27:59.000Our friend Alex Marlowe does a great job of that.
00:28:01.000So, Oxford University is now saying we have to get rid of sheet music.
00:28:07.000Also, there are documents floating around that mathematics and science must also be removed from Oxford.
00:28:15.000The Academy is becoming nothing more than an activist camp for the most foolish and bigoted and backwards people in our country.
00:28:25.000It continues by saying: Professors at the university said that classical music, which is taught at Oxford, which includes Beethoven, Mozart, and Schubert, among others, is too focused on, quote, white European music from the slave period.
00:30:11.000I encourage every single person out there right now to go listen to Claire Daylune.
00:30:17.000You listen to it on Spotify or YouTube, one of the most downloaded, listened to songs of all time.
00:30:21.000And tell me that that is not a spiritual experience, that that is not something that you can feel that drives you to a place of imagery, motion, and the pursuit of what's right in the world.
00:30:35.000And then I want you to go listen to what Oxford says that we should embrace more of, which is BLM Incorporated, saying we not non-Eurocentric music.
00:30:47.000So they want you to go listen to something like Indonesian Jengin music.
00:31:11.000What a disservice we're doing to our young people.
00:31:13.000Oxford, the place where some of the greatest scientific and mathematic breakthroughs have ever happened, is now becoming a place where sheet music must be removed because they're saying it's racist.
00:31:26.000For us, we're going to keep on playing the classical canon unapologetically.
00:31:34.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
