00:00:58.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:05.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:28.000If you were to get a serious diagnosis from a doctor and something that just doesn't feel right, what is the kind of the practical wisdom that people would tell you?
00:01:43.000If you were to get diagnosed by a doctor and they say, well, you only have six weeks to live, you'd say, yeah, I'd like to get another opinion.
00:01:49.000Or they say, you must undergo chemotherapy.
00:01:51.000You'll probably say, yeah, I'm going to go get another opinion.
00:01:54.000It's the old adage, two heads are better than one.
00:01:57.000Differences of opinion when it comes to medicine is nothing new.
00:02:02.000But instead, we had our entire public health portfolio, the entire approach to medicine, the entire approach to people's movements, to children's education, all designed around an allegedly incorruptible group of experts.
00:02:26.000Now, these experts had not actually been medical doctors.
00:02:29.000They actually hadn't been in situations at times to prescribe medication or deal with adverse events.
00:02:38.000These people are best described as shills of the pharmaceutical industry, from Fauci to Rochelle Walensky to Dr. Burks, all the way down to Francis Collins.
00:02:52.000It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make the public health authorities relevant.
00:02:57.000They got unprecedented television time.
00:02:59.000They had unquestioned and unchecked power.
00:03:02.000It was the independent regulatory agency's dream for any regulator or bureaucrat in government to have that much power.
00:03:12.000It was almost as if they were given the unilateral authority to go invade a country.
00:03:19.000We had not seen a marshaling of resources, a consolidation of authority to one subset of people since Dwight D. Eisenhower controlled the allied forces of the invasion of Europe in Normandy, France on D-Day.
00:03:36.000We've never seen anything close to it.
00:03:40.000However, it became increasingly clear, especially for shows like ours and many others, very early on, that we were Designing society and making choices not based on the science, but instead based on the scientists that were appointed and given power.
00:04:01.000Fauci was given ability to shut down your child's school, to mandate vaccines, to propagandize the public.
00:04:11.000Fauci, of course, famously once said that masks did not work.
00:04:15.000Then he said you must be wearing a mask at all times.
00:04:20.000From the efficacy of vaccines to the new variants to the war on early treatments, the question always should have been, and it was, to be fair, for many of us, we are just suppressed and choked by some people in the Republican Party as well, but also by the tech giants and by the international censors.
00:04:43.000It's always been, are we going to get a second opinion?
00:04:48.000Well, Senator Ron Johnson, to his great credit, boldly, courageously, and quite honestly, unexpectedly for a lot of people, hosted this panel earlier this week.
00:05:00.000It got almost no media coverage, and we are going to dedicate this entire hour to covering what was talked about in that panel, to talk about the political significance of this, to celebrate and platform Ron Johnson for doing this, because this is rare.
00:05:17.000This is a guy who's in a battleground state running for reelection this November.
00:05:23.000He's going to have well-funded Democrat challengers.
00:05:28.000Does he run into the arms of the Winter Olympics, Beijing, Wuhan Chamber of Commerce?
00:05:33.000No, Ron Johnson instead hosts a panel with Dr. Malone, Dr. Pierre Corey, and many others saying, We Americans deserve a second opinion.
00:05:44.000In fact, I saw Ron Johnson go on television on Tucker Carlson's program recently and said, hundreds of thousands of lives could have potentially been saved with early treatments.
00:05:54.000And I say, this is a Republican Party that's ready to win.
00:05:58.000Now, you might have not heard about this panel.
00:06:00.000You might have just saw pictures or clips.
00:06:04.000We believe you deserve a full review of what happened on the second opinion panel.
00:06:18.000We have been telling people for quite some time, for anyone that will listen, and we get emails about it, freedom at charliekirk.com, about the inexplicable and horrific increase in miscarriages, cancer, and neurological disease.
00:06:34.000This has been happening at a rapid rate.
00:06:38.000The Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson Johnson lobby on both sides of the aisle, Republican and Democrats, have largely kept their mouths shut.
00:06:46.000Ron Johnson has been courageous enough to say, hey, what's going on here?
00:07:31.000And this correlates perfectly with the data we have been receiving, freedom at charliekirk.com, of people that are emailing us saying, Charlie, my father dropped dead, unexplained cancer, miscarriages, neurological disease.
00:07:54.000The vaccine adverse event reporting system surely suggests that.
00:07:59.000But it's good that at least a singular senator cares about this.
00:08:02.000By the way, Democrats out there that are keeping your mouth shut and don't care about this, your constituents are dying too.
00:08:09.000Cut 59, Dr. Peter McCullough, compares U.S. hospitalization data to that around the world, and he makes the argument that vaccine has not decreased total mortality.
00:08:23.000Now, before I play Cut 59, remember, the director of the CDC or the director of public health, they have to care about the entire health of society, not just transmission of a particular virus.
00:08:37.000So if the death rate is going up like it went up 40% in Indiana, ages 18 to 64, 40%, that's a failure of the public health authorities.
00:08:50.000The CDC in the last few days said there's five more papers showing the vaccines, even with Omicron, are associated with the reduction in hospitalization.
00:08:58.000But it's only in U.S. hospitals, not in South Africa, not in Germany, not in Denmark, not in the U.K., and not in Israel.
00:09:06.000Americans should be asking the question: why are the vaccines only working against hospitalization, but they don't work against binary occurrence of the respiratory illness or reduced spread, and they don't reduce mortality?
00:09:22.000These are questions that we deserve answers to.
00:09:25.000Now, coming up in a couple minutes, we have Senator Ron Johnson to walk us through what happened in that panel and also some more sound.
00:09:31.000But also, we just received some breaking news that Supreme Court Justice Breyer is retiring at age 83.
00:09:46.000With Roe versus Wade looming to be repealed over the summer, the election coming up in November, they are pulling a McConnell and trying to use the Supreme Court as an ability to motivate the Democrat base going into November.
00:10:30.000You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:10:32.000They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:10:40.000If you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.
00:11:14.000So Mitch McConnell was wise back in February, January, February of 2016, when the wonderful, the amazing, the brilliant, the wise, the exceptional, and the one in a hundred-year talent of Justice Antonin Scalia passed away.
00:11:35.000You might remember there was a potential Merrick Garland, who is now the Attorney General of the United States, to go on the Supreme Court.
00:11:45.000McConnell cited precedents, saying that in an election year, presidential election year, you let the people choose.
00:11:52.000Now, the Democrats were really upset about that.
00:11:56.000However, if you fast forward to the fall of 2018, when another vacancy came open on the U.S. Supreme Court, I can't remember why that vacancy came up.
00:12:09.000Kennedy retired in the summer of 2018.
00:12:13.000And then, of course, Brett Kavanaugh came into focus.
00:12:15.000Democrats got very, very animated about that, very upset about it, mostly because they said, why are you trying to confirm you said you don't do that?
00:12:24.000It was McConnell playing Machiavellian politics.
00:12:26.000And honestly, I totally supported it because about time we started to win and they started to lose.
00:12:30.000And then fast forward to 2020, despite McConnell saying in 2016, we don't confirm justices in a presidential year.
00:12:39.000I think he talked about like unified government.
00:13:04.000And it was one of the great scenes ever where Trump's doing this rally, and Trump is walking in his kind of alpha male, you know, just kind of pace, and he's got the long jacket.
00:13:15.000And he comes right up to the press corps.
00:13:17.000And immediately they say, Ruth Bader Ginsburg died.
00:13:23.000And he then kind of just sits up straight and he goes, she was a wonderful person.
00:13:29.000And it's like almost straight into it.
00:13:34.000And that's when you knew he was sharp.
00:13:36.000I'll tell you what, because that was one of them.
00:13:37.000And Elton John's playing in the background.
00:13:40.000You got all the kind of thematic, cinematic lighting.
00:13:42.000That's one of the great moments in kind of Supreme Court presidential appointment history, truly, in the history of the country, to have that captured live on tape.
00:13:52.000And I remember tweeting, I said, of course we know Trump's reaction as soon as Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away.
00:13:58.000And because there was like all these conspiracy theorists being like, oh, Trump is celebrating it.
00:14:02.000Like, no, actually, we have live footage of it as it happened.
00:14:06.000Now, the Democrats actually are being smart here, and Republicans better wake up.
00:14:10.000Democrats realized back in 2018, one of the reasons why Republicans were able to gain seats in the United States Senate back in 2018 by defeating Claire McCaskill and getting Braun elected in Indiana.
00:14:28.000One of the reasons we were able to win those races, now we lost in Montana with John Tester and lost with Joe Manchin in West Virginia, but we also won in Florida with Rick Scott, if I'm not mistaken, against incumbent Bill Nelson, which was a flip, which advanced the United States Senate to go to 53 seats, I think, in the United States Senate at the time.
00:14:48.000One of the reasons was that Mitch McConnell made the United States Supreme Court a center issue in states like Indiana and Missouri, which brings out issues like abortion and guns.
00:14:57.000Democrats are trying to replicate this.
00:15:49.000My guess, I've even read, this is me doing it live.
00:15:52.000If I was the Machiavellian kind of ends, justify the means, we're going to find our own morality, we're going to dismiss right and wrong as we know it, we're going to get what we want.
00:16:01.000If I was that Democrat, I would have Justice Breyer step down on July 1st and trigger a summer Supreme Court fight post-Roe versus Wade getting repealed.
00:17:28.000With us right now is a senator who deserves our praise and our thanks for his courage for what he has done to platform and to educate the public on really what's going on with the vaccines and treatments and all of the confusion around our public health authorities.
00:18:00.000And seriously, from myself personally and our whole audience, it's so refreshing to see a senator really care about the war on early treatments and all of these other kind of issues together.
00:18:17.000Well, first of all, it's the public's reaction that is most heartening.
00:18:21.000We've had over a million views of the full five-hour event on our Rumble page, over a million.
00:18:28.000So people are hungry for this second opinion for information.
00:18:32.000What I hope they're seeing is, first of all, how eminently qualified these doctors, these academicians, these medical researchers are.
00:18:42.000And you compare their qualifications versus the people in the Ivory Towers.
00:18:45.000I call them the COVID gods, you know, the Fauci's of the world, the Walinskis, the Collinses, the Woodcocks, and the legacy media and the social media that is censoring this kind of information.
00:18:58.000So these are eminently qualified people, but first and foremost, they are doctors that have had the courage and compassion to treat COVID patients.
00:19:07.000Some of them have been infected because of their courage and compassion.
00:19:12.000And that's what I've been advocating literally since March of 2020.
00:19:16.000Early treatment, I believe, could have ended this pandemic well before we even had to consider the vaccines.
00:19:22.000And by the way, I was a big supporter of Operation Warp Speed.
00:19:25.000I hoped and prayed the vaccine would bring an end to the pandemic, but it didn't.
00:19:30.000It's not as effective as we hoped it would be.
00:19:32.000It's not as safe as we hoped it would be.
00:19:35.000But the other thing I think anybody viewing that, and if you can't, if you don't have five hours, we've also edited down a 38-minute version of the highlights.
00:19:43.000You get a pretty good sense of what I'm talking about.
00:19:46.000But the American public should understand that our response to COVID could have been far more rational.
00:19:56.000And tragically, the coronavirus did not have to be as deadly as it's been.
00:20:03.000I don't know how anybody can take a look at 890,000 deaths, the human toll of the economic devastation, what we've done to our children, the loss of learning, the psychological harms, and look at our response and call it a success.
00:20:21.000I believe it's been a miserable failure, but it's been a miserable failure because we haven't utilized the internet to have a flourishing of ideas, letting doctors be doctors, practice medicine, exchange and share their experiences with other doctors, and hone the treatment techniques.
00:20:47.000That's been the reward for these doctors saving people's lives.
00:20:52.000And let me just end on this note: you have to watch Paul Merrick.
00:20:57.000He's the head of the frontline COVID-19 critical care specialist.
00:21:02.000He had his hospital privileges revoked.
00:21:05.000The hospital told him he could no longer use these cheap, generic, relative, you know, very safe-profile drugs to treat his patients.
00:21:14.000So, in the end, when they took that, his ability to treat patients away, he still had seven COVID patients, and all he could do, because this is what the hospital forced him to do, was sit by and watch these seven patients die.
00:21:29.000It is heartbreaking to watch that, but I have heard this time and time and time again: the heart-wrenching stories of families whose loved one is in the hospital.
00:21:54.000And the hospitals have said nope, even when sued, even when under court order, they've said no, and they've just watched people die.
00:22:04.000We have too many stories that we've received on our show of that exactly: of loved ones that get trapped in the hospital and they don't give vitamin D booster shots.
00:22:13.000They do not give azithromycin or ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine or any of the potential menu of treatments.
00:22:22.000And so, Senator, you have been on the early treatment kind of campaign since the very beginning, as you mentioned.
00:22:30.000Why do you think in the wealthiest society that humanity has ever known, one of the largest technology like we could ever imagine?
00:23:34.000Let's face it, the federal health agencies have been captured by big pharma.
00:23:39.000I think they're doing their bidding as well.
00:23:41.000So we invested, we spent billions of dollars on these vaccines, but the only drugs that the federal health care agencies have approved are expensive on-patent drugs brought to you by big pharma.
00:23:56.000They have so tilted the playing field in favor of big pharma, novel, expensive drugs, because big pharma is the only one that can afford random controlled trials.
00:24:06.000And that's, of course, what Fauci demands.
00:24:08.000Even though we have literally dozens of studies that show the effectiveness of things like ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, plus hundreds of anecdotal stories that these things work, but it's all been ignored.
00:26:14.000You ran against someone successfully, I think, twice.
00:26:17.000Russ Feingold used to make a big deal out of that.
00:26:19.000Back in the day, you might remember that, oh, the pharmaceutical companies.
00:26:23.000I grew up in Northern Illinois, not far from Wisconsin.
00:26:26.000You know, the type of liberal I'm talking about where they just kind of hate all big institutions.
00:26:32.000Democrats' constituents are dying too.
00:26:34.000Why is it that there is just silence amongst your colleagues and some Republican colleagues as well when it comes to this issue?
00:26:44.000Well, because they've seen how I've been treated in the media.
00:26:47.000You know, I've withstood a year's worth of just relentless, almost daily attacks, you know, calling me an anti-vaxxer, which I am not.
00:26:54.000You know, again, as a big supporter of Operation War Speed, I'm the champion of right to try, allowing people the freedom to choose and to use a drug that's not fully FDA approved.
00:27:24.000I mean, let's face it, I've been accused of being a racist.
00:27:27.000And then I've been accused of being an anti-vaxxer.
00:27:29.000I mean, there can't be two worse pejoratives to be used against somebody.
00:27:35.000And so they see I'm relentlessly accused of being both.
00:27:39.000And they don't want to be termed an anti-vaxxer.
00:27:42.000So they're willing to, I guess, look away, not even really explore this, just hope that the vaccine is effective and as safe as we all hoped and prayed it would be.
00:27:52.000Let's face it, they voted for the funding of it.
00:27:56.000That's one of our biggest problems, Charlie, of getting the truth out is nobody wants to admit they're wrong.
00:28:01.000The general public doesn't want to admit they were wrong in putting their faith in Fauci and these federal health agencies, doctors who have recommended vaccines, they don't want to admit that maybe these vaccines have killed people or paralyzed them or had a serious adverse event.
00:28:16.000Fauci's of the world, the people in the health agencies, they will never admit they're wrong.
00:28:21.000And tell you what, even most importantly is the media who's been complicit in all this, the big tech giants, social media that have censored early treatment.
00:28:30.000The body counts now approaching 900,000 people.
00:28:33.000If it is proven that these cheap, generic, widely available drugs are effective, understand the consequences, how severe they will be to those people that have sabotaged the use.
00:28:46.000So they not only they can't afford to be proven wrong, Charlie, they have the power.
00:30:19.000And then, of course, their communication apparatus, which is the legacy media, and the social media relentlessly attacked me for the full year.
00:30:26.000The week I announced, another $2 million announced of ad spending against me.
00:31:31.000My family will be well-fed when things fall apart.
00:31:35.000I urge you right now to get the four-week emergency food kit from MyPatriot Supply.
00:31:39.000They're the nation's largest emergency food company.
00:31:42.000They've served millions of your fellow Americans over the last 15 years.
00:31:45.000And they have 48,000 four-star and five-star reviews from satisfied customers.
00:31:49.000I got their product stashed away next to my ammunition and my gold.
00:31:54.000Right now, save $50 on their four-week emergency food kit, which gives you breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and snacks totaling over 2,000 calories a day.
00:32:02.000The food stays fresh for up to 25 years in proper storage.
00:32:44.000Senator, I want to ask you, there's a lot of things I want to get into, but I want to ask you kind of where do you think if the Republicans take back the Senate, what can be done from a committee standpoint to actually start to formalize some of these questions that you've been asking?
00:32:59.000Subpoenas getting to the bottom of all of this.
00:33:02.000Well, I'm continuing to investigate right now.
00:33:05.000I'm the ranking member on the Permanent Subcommittee Investigations.
00:33:08.000When we request all kinds of information, the agencies, the executive branch really thumbs its nose at congressional oversight.
00:33:19.000But when the FOIA requests produced the 4,000-plus pages of Anthony Fauci's emails, heavily redacted, Congress is not subject to those redactions.
00:34:29.000I try and get the news media interested to highlight really the outrage that is occurring within our federal bureaucracy, how they feel they're completely unaccountable to the American public, which means they're completely unaccountable to congressional oversight.
00:34:43.000We are the representatives of the people.
00:35:18.000Might be because he succumbed to pressure, looking ahead, understanding that Democrats may not be able to retain a majority in the United States Senate.
00:35:27.000So it might be difficult to confirm under Republican control a more radically left justice, which is what I fear will happen with Joe Biden.
00:35:38.000I mean, his appointments, his appointees, his nominees for almost every office have come from the radical left.
00:35:46.000And unfortunately, I'm afraid that's who President Biden will replace Justice Breyer, who, again, is reliably left, but I wouldn't call him a radical leftist.
00:36:26.000How could people help you at ronjohnsonforsenate.com?
00:36:29.000Well, they can sign on and they can donate and they can tell their friends, their family, and neighbors about it as well and understand how crucial this seat is.
00:36:37.000In the end, there are all kinds of issues.
00:36:40.000Some of them divide us as conservatives.
00:37:05.000Senator, I just, we've known each other for years.
00:37:07.000I remember you spoke at a turning point USA event back in 2013 at UW-Madison, and you've always been so good to us.
00:37:13.000But your courage, your clarity, and your willingness to take on the pharmaceutical industrial complex, it really is something that is rare and is worthy of note.
