00:02:19.000 You're going to smile, laugh, maybe cry, and then be compelled to action.

00:02:23.000 Buckle up. 0.96

00:02:24.000 Here we go.

00:02:25.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:02:27.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:02:29.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:02:33.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:02:36.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:02:37.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:02:38.000 His 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.

00:02:46.000 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.

00:02:55.000 That's why we are here.

00:02:59.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?

00:03:01.000 Truth is, I know millions of people.

00:03:01.000 A lot.

00:03:03.000 In fact, some people say over 100 million people are struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.

00:03:10.000 Now, Pete and Seth Talbot, they are on a mission.

00:03:12.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.

00:03:14.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.

00:03:20.000 And I believe they'll do it.

00:03:21.000 So here's the deal.

00:03:22.000 Go to relieffactor.com.

00:03:23.000 That's relief factor.com or call 800-500-8384.

00:03:27.000 People ask me, tell me why Relief Factor is so successful in lowering or eliminating pain.

00:03:32.000 I'm often asked that question.

00:03:33.000 So maybe you want to be able to do cartwheels or be able to do backflips like Producer Andrew.

00:03:38.000 Maybe you want to be able to run a marathon, swim under seas, swim underwater, go scuba diving, jump out of an airplane, but maybe it's your knee pain, back pain, joint pain, whatever pain it might be.

00:03:48.000 Maybe Relief Factor is for you.

00:03:50.000 ReliefFactor.com, 100% drug-free.

00:03:52.000 Check it out.

00:03:53.000 ReliefFactor.com.

00:03:58.000 We're going to start with some good news.

00:04:00.000 If you're like me, you could use some good news.

00:04:02.000 It feels as if we are always talking about what seems to be the decline of our country.

00:04:07.000 And we have plenty to talk about later this hour around that topic.

00:04:12.000 But there was some phenomenal news over the weekend.

00:04:15.000 And the Washington Post and the New York Times and NBC News and national public radio, they covered it just at the absolute minimal degree they possibly could, or they didn't cover it at all.

00:04:30.000 As I said a couple weeks ago, I didn't really have any plans to watch the Olympics.

00:04:35.000 I saw the opening ceremony and it was kind of a globalist anthem and lots of over-mask wearing.

00:04:42.000 But I started to get into it as I started to see clip after clip of American athletes that were winning and were celebrating the right way, giving thanks to their country and their nation and their fellow countrymen. 0.93

00:04:55.000 And then I also realized the fact they're wearing masks is obviously not very wise and it's an overreaction on behalf of the International Olympic Committee, but it's China's fault. 0.58

00:05:09.000 That it's because of China that the Olympics were delayed a year. 0.92

00:05:14.000 It's because of China that the masks had to be worn. 0.83

00:05:17.000 So I said, you know what? 1.00

00:05:18.000 We better beat China this year.

00:05:21.000 Now, of course, the American media, they wanted nothing to do with such nationalist fervor.

00:05:27.000 The competition between nations was far too intense.

00:05:31.000 It required too much testosterone for the people from the Washington Post, New York Times, and national public radio.

00:05:36.000 It meant that one person might be better than the other.

00:05:39.000 So I was tracking it here and there.

00:05:41.000 There were a couple of sports and competitions I just, I wasn't that interested in the social justice warrior types.

00:05:48.000 But I will say that a majority of the athletes for the United States Olympic team, especially in the ones that require more training than not in the individual sense, not just the team sense, unlike the United States women's soccer team, which really turned me off, was this idea that I worked so hard to be here, and I just want to thank my nation for this opportunity.

00:06:13.000 So I saw this article a couple days ago, and I said, you know what?

00:06:17.000 I hope this article does not age well.

00:06:20.000 And this goes to show exactly where the American media has gone.

00:06:26.000 Sorry, America.

00:06:27.000 This is five days ago by Dan Wetzel, a very low testosterone individual.

00:06:33.000 Dan Wetzel, sorry, America, China's leading the real Olympic medal count.

00:06:38.000 Almost gloating and celebrating the fact that China, our greatest enemy, who launched an epidemiological Pearl Harbor on the world, killed hundreds of thousands of Americans we locked down and shouldn't have, that he's almost saying to Americans, stop celebrating the fact that you might be winning the medal count.

00:06:59.000 So the argument, according to Dan Wetzel from Yahoo Sports, is, I quote, China is kicking the United States' tail in these Olympics.

00:07:10.000 Although you wouldn't know if you just scanned the medal tables in the American media.

00:07:14.000 So this is a narrative over the last week that America wasn't actually winning, that we were winning the general medal count if you counted bronze and silver and gold altogether.

00:07:25.000 So we were winning the cumulative medal count, but we weren't winning the real competition, which is most overall golds, which is what China was winning.

00:07:32.000 And you go on to say here, and he says, everyone else has the right since quite literally gold is better than the others.

00:07:39.000 It's a simple concept, gold, silver, bronze.

00:07:41.000 And he goes on in this sanctimonious tone.

00:07:47.000 He says, this wasn't a planned thing.

00:07:49.000 China began capturing more golds here.

00:07:51.000 It isn't a coordinated way to spare America's fragile ego.

00:07:55.000 This is an American and hide the fact that it isn't dominating the games.

00:08:01.000 It just looks that way. 0.98

00:08:03.000 Consider this.

00:08:04.000 If America was leading the standings, according to every single entity, official or neutral, in the entire world, but the Chinese media used a different system that put them on top.

00:08:12.000 Well, what would you think?

00:08:14.000 Right now, it's just embarrassing.

00:08:16.000 I'm reading from this. 0.87

00:08:17.000 There is no shame in not winning as many golds as China. 0.94

00:08:20.000 Really, who cares, right?

00:08:21.000 Who cares if we're good?

00:08:23.000 Who cares if we're mediocre?

00:08:25.000 All that matters is being overweight, like Dan Wetzel.

00:08:28.000 A nation's worth is not defined by the strength of its canoe solemn team. 0.95

00:08:33.000 Besides, with track and field, basketball, and boxing still going, we can still surpass the Chinese by any metric. 0.98

00:08:39.000 But by reworking the numbers, even if it isn't orchestrated, it's humiliating.

00:08:48.000 Now, Yahoo should not have published this article.

00:08:52.000 You see, this was published by people that were guided by passion, not by reason, to kind of go back to the Federalist debates.

00:09:01.000 Dan Wetzel should never be in charge of anything.

00:09:03.000 In fact, he should be terminated for this humiliating piece that was written by Yahoo News.

00:09:08.000 So as I was tracking it over the weekend, I had Dan Wetzel's face in my front as I was watching it.

00:09:15.000 I said, okay, Dan Wetzel, little do you know that for those of us that have been watching the Olympics since a very young age, we know that the sports competitions all happen on the final weekend of many competitions that Americans are very good at.

00:09:35.000 So slowly on Thursday and then Friday, all of a sudden America started to creep up on the TRICOMs. 0.98

00:09:42.000 Chinese communists. 0.99

00:09:44.000 On the medal count.

00:09:48.000 And of course, I saw more and more of these articles pop up.

00:09:53.000 Another one that is just hilarious.

00:09:54.000 Let me pick this one up.

00:09:55.000 Newsweek.com.

00:09:55.000 Oh, yeah.

00:09:57.000 China irked by United States medal table ranking as country leads in golds five days ago.

00:10:03.000 So Dan Wetzel and the Chinese Communist Party public relations firm John Fang and Rob Minto for newsweek.com, ridiculous article.

00:10:12.000 As if we should care what the Chinese Communist Party has to say about the medal total.

00:10:16.000 So the whole idea over the last week was that China's actually winning and the Western press is covering for America and how dare we favor America. 0.54

00:10:24.000 Now let me be very clear.

00:10:25.000 I actually like the total medal count.

00:10:28.000 I like counting gold, silver, and bronze.

00:10:30.000 It's a totality of your country's ability to compete and succeed.

00:10:36.000 So how did it end?

00:10:39.000 And Olympics, one year delayed.

00:10:42.000 And let me just emphasize this point.

00:10:44.000 The Chinese Communist Party and their state-run media, they were playing this up big time over the last week. 0.75

00:10:52.000 That China was saying that this is their big moment to turn the corner and show the world that they are in charge, that the future belongs to the Chinese.

00:11:03.000 They were playing it up on all of their state-run media. 0.96

00:11:07.000 Now, this is nothing new.

00:11:10.000 You see, the role of sport in foreign policy was something the Soviets talked about a lot.

00:11:18.000 Soviet leaders made explicit the dependence on external sports relations on Soviet policy.

00:11:26.000 They had a Soviet National Olympic Committee, which was a government body appointed by the USSR.

00:11:32.000 Same sort of program by the Chinese Communist Party.

00:11:36.000 So how did it all end up?

00:11:39.000 Well, Dan Wetzel and National Public Radio and the Washington Post and the New York Times without ever really trying.

00:11:51.000 I am happy to say that the United States of America beat the TRICOMs in the final medal count with the final count in every single category. 0.62

00:12:06.000 The United States won.

00:12:08.000 39 gold, 41 silver, 33 bronze, with the TRICOMs with 38 gold. 0.99

00:12:15.000 We beat you, China. 0.69

00:12:17.000 Dan Wetzel, America's fragile ego. 0.97

00:12:21.000 America is on top and they are crying in Wuhan. 1.00

00:12:25.000 The cheaters, the liars, the sneak, the sneaky serpents that call themselves the communist Chinese, they are losers. 1.00

00:12:32.000 You hear that? 1.00

00:12:33.000 You see, the TRICOMs, they monitor this program.

00:12:37.000 I get written up in state Chinese media every so often because we are so vocally anti-Chinese government.

00:12:44.000 Now, I'm pro-Chinese people.

00:12:45.000 I think the Chinese people are beautiful and wonderful.

00:12:48.000 The government is evil and must be top-up.

00:12:50.000 I'm not exactly a regime change guy.

00:12:53.000 There is a regime we needed to change to be the Chinese Communist Party. 0.98

00:12:56.000 They are an existential threat. 1.00

00:12:59.000 Gold at any cost.

00:13:00.000 TheSun.com writes, pumping iron inside China's gold at any cost, Olympics machine with kids as young as four brutalized in training that still lost to the United States. 0.64

00:13:12.000 And you know what's so amazing is The Sun is a British publication, and they're one of the few publications that I found that actually was rubbing the United States victory in the medal count in the face of the Chinese.

00:13:26.000 But it shows these two and three-year-olds being tortured just to be able to be good at gymnastics. 0.90

00:13:34.000 I quote, the Chinese system is rooted in the Soviet model, which saw sport as a way of attracting prestige for the communist system.

00:13:44.000 Go Zhuojing, director of China's sport administration and head of the Chinese delegation, left no doubt about the country's goal, saying on the Eve of Tokyo, quote, we must resolutely ensure we are first in gold medals.

00:14:00.000 Let me say this again. 0.82

00:14:01.000 This is such a wonderful opportunity for the Chinese agent who calls himself our president to take a victory lap. 0.98

00:14:11.000 What a wonderful opportunity, wonderful opportunity for somebody in the United States government to rub this in the face of our greatest enemy. 0.98

00:14:17.000 Let me read this again.

00:14:19.000 Gua Zhaozhuang, who is the head of the Chinese sports administration.

00:14:24.000 So let me kind of tell you how this works.

00:14:26.000 Zhua Zhaozheng is like the Tony Fauci of sports in China.

00:14:32.000 Total control, unquestioning, but a total failure.

00:14:37.000 So Gao and Fauci, they probably have pork every so often when Fauci goes to Wuhan.

00:14:43.000 They're big pork fans in China, by the way.

00:14:46.000 Dogs, they love dogs. 0.99

00:14:49.000 Total failure.

00:14:51.000 An absolute failure.

00:14:54.000 We must resolutely ensure we are first in the gold medals. 0.95

00:14:58.000 Now, mind you, what makes the United States Olympic Committee different than the Chinese is we don't have government involvement. 0.80

00:15:04.000 It's a private enterprise. 0.97

00:15:07.000 The TRICOMs pump in hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:15:11.000 We don't actually know the number.

00:15:13.000 Could be billions of dollars.

00:15:15.000 So Guao Zhaozheng will probably be sent off to a concentration camp.

00:15:19.000 I'm not kidding.

00:15:20.000 That's the way this works. 1.00

00:15:22.000 They'll find another secular soulless idiot to go run their sports. 1.00

00:15:27.000 The state, the Chinese Communist Party, sends out scouts to hunt for tens of thousands of children for full-time training at more than 2,000 government-run sports schools. 1.00

00:15:37.000 I want you to think about that.

00:15:38.000 There are 2,000 government-run sports schools in China.

00:15:44.000 2,000.

00:15:48.000 Tests for selection sees kids being given challenges such as press-ups, endurance running, and bench presses that prioritize overall strength over specific skills.

00:15:58.000 Many Chinese parents used to send their kids to sports schools, lured by government subsidies and promising-looking careers for their children.

00:16:06.000 It doesn't matter if the sports have mass appeal or if their youngsters have interest.

00:16:10.000 If they are deemed worthy, it is their duty to perform for the sake of their nation.

00:16:15.000 You see some of these pictures, it is evil.

00:16:18.000 Children from rural areas or from families who are not so good economically, they adapt well to the hardships.

00:16:27.000 At the Li Zhuoshuang gymnastics school, there is little room for error.

00:16:32.000 They bow to their coaches and apology if they're not up to scratch.

00:16:37.000 And a bad performance is punished with extra weight training at the end of the day.

00:16:40.000 These are four-year-olds.

00:16:42.000 At night, they sleep in bunk beds, two sharing top mattresses, two lower berths in dormitories.

00:16:50.000 The pictures are, it's torture.

00:16:52.000 It should be a human rights violation.

00:16:55.000 The pain is clearly unbearable, and his hands are clapsed over his face.

00:17:00.000 Continues by saying that for China, it is, quote, gold at any cost.

00:17:09.000 Chinese state media hit back saying that the West has sour grapes towards China because they have a leading position in the gold medal race.

00:17:19.000 Well, guess what, China? 0.90

00:17:20.000 Your billions of dollars, your torture of four-year-olds, your smug attitude, and your eating of dogs. 1.00

00:17:26.000 You are losers. 1.00

00:17:28.000 United States won, and you are first loser. 1.00

00:17:34.000 Who's your wireless provider? 0.82

00:17:36.000 ATT Verizon T-Mobile?

00:17:38.000 What if I told you PeerTalk USA uses the exact same network as one of those carriers?

00:17:41.000 Same towers, same exact coverage, but literally costs you half.

00:17:44.000 I know it sounds crazy.

00:17:46.000 When I first heard about PeerTalk, I thought this is too good to be true.

00:17:49.000 Sarah from Albilene, Texas, says, the service is amazing.

00:17:52.000 Love the price.

00:17:52.000 The speed is quick.

00:17:53.000 The reception is perfect.

00:17:54.000 Eugene from Granberry, Texas, good service.

00:17:57.000 Haven't any problems in our travels.

00:17:59.000 We move around the state pretty much.

00:18:00.000 Since giving up ATT, we really don't feel there's any difference in the quality.

00:18:04.000 We're getting ready to put our service on our iPads as well.

00:18:07.000 Switching is so easy.

00:18:08.000 You can keep your phone.

00:18:09.000 They'll just send you a SIM card so you can get the same great service you currently have at half the price.

00:18:14.000 So why is it so much cheaper than ATT, Verizon, or T-Mobile?

00:18:17.000 Well, the average person is saving $400 a year.

00:18:21.000 Listen to this: unlimited talk, text, and six gigs of data is just $30 a month.

00:18:25.000 So here's the deal: unlimited talk, unlimited text, plus two gigs of data for just $20 a month.

00:18:31.000 All you need to do is grab your phone and dial pound 250 and say, Charlie Kirk, that's pound 250.

00:18:36.000 Say keyword, Charlie Kirk.

00:18:37.000 And when you do, you'll save 50% off your first month.

00:18:40.000 Keyword, Charlie Kirk, pound 250.

00:18:46.000 You know, someone is emailing us.

00:18:48.000 They say, Charlie, I'm so happy to see the United States win.

00:18:51.000 Shouldn't we be gracious in victory? 1.00

00:18:53.000 I think that's probably true, but we're at war with the Chinese. 0.99

00:18:56.000 You just don't realize it yet. 1.00

00:18:57.000 They launched an epidemiological attack on our country.

00:19:01.000 And mockery and ridicule is a tactic that drives them insane.

00:19:04.000 It gets in their head. 0.99

00:19:06.000 You see, the Chinese don't have a Western ethic. 1.00

00:19:09.000 The Chinese don't believe in God. 1.00

00:19:10.000 They don't believe in polite. 1.00

00:19:12.000 They are liars by default. 0.96

00:19:15.000 I'm talking about the Chinese Communist Party, which is the dominant party in China. 0.99

00:19:19.000 All they understand is whether you win or whether you lose.

00:19:24.000 Now, some people say the Chinese are Buddhists.

00:19:27.000 That's just not even close to being true.

00:19:29.000 Buddhism is a small strain of religion in China.

00:19:33.000 It is a secular nation.

00:19:34.000 It is the largest atheist country ever to exist in the history of the world. 0.99

00:19:38.000 They have some strains of Confucianism, but they are a godless country. 0.99

00:19:44.000 And so being gracious in victory over people that launch war on you, I'm going to have some fun and delight in this. 0.94

00:19:51.000 Okay, so I want to get to a lot of other news.

00:19:53.000 I didn't mean to take this much time enjoying the United States victory.

00:19:56.000 But we should, you know, and the other reason why I want to enjoy this is that, have you felt like you've been beat down the last couple years?

00:20:03.000 That it's just this inevitable decline of America?

00:20:07.000 That it's just constantly managing things falling through? 1.00

00:20:12.000 That it's just, oh, it's just a matter before Chinese takes us over. 1.00

00:20:16.000 No, I want to tell you, we can beat the Chinese. 1.00

00:20:20.000 We can beat these people. 0.99

00:20:23.000 China is more vulnerable than the media will tell you.

00:20:27.000 And the Chinese media, they were pushing the Olympic count as the turning point.

00:20:31.000 Instead, it's a devastating blow for them.

00:20:35.000 I want to just get to one or two more articles just to show you how dishonest our own media is.

00:20:40.000 So I typed in to search engine, not Google, what was the medal count.

00:20:46.000 And this is the way our own media describes it.

00:20:49.000 It's incredible.

00:20:51.000 National public radio, which should be totally defunded, by the way.

00:20:54.000 I used to listen to NPR growing up.

00:20:57.000 He said this.

00:20:58.000 They say, closing ceremony wraps after Team USA.

00:21:04.000 No, this is the United States barely edges out China for most gold medals at Tokyo Olympics.

00:21:10.000 That's our own government-funded media.

00:21:14.000 Barely edges out.

00:21:19.000 Making it seem as if, well, it was really close, and maybe one year China will win again. 0.95

00:21:26.000 They wanted this to be their big moment, and they failed miserably. 1.00

00:21:32.000 So, yes, of course, I'm going to celebrate that. 1.00

00:21:34.000 I mean, the country that has a million Muslims in concentration camps, that takes over islands in the South China Sea, that hacks our cyber grid, buys our farmland, infiltrates our media, infiltrates our universities. 1.00

00:21:48.000 They think they're on the quest to world domination, but this was humiliating for them. 1.00

00:21:55.000 They are now going to have meetings and conferences.

00:21:57.000 And so the real question is, should we play ball in the upcoming Olympics six months from now in Beijing, the Winter Olympics?

00:22:05.000 We should protest and we should boycott the Beijing 2022 Olympics.

00:22:05.000 No.

00:22:10.000 I can't think of a better scenario.

00:22:13.000 We win in every medal for the Summer Olympic competition. 1.00

00:22:16.000 See it, ChiComs. 1.00

00:22:18.000 Maybe you guys can cheat your way to victory later. 0.99

00:22:20.000 By the way, these medal results will very much well be adjusted once we find out how much China has probably cheated in doping and age manipulation, lying about the way they do things. 0.91

00:22:30.000 They are notorious at deception. 0.94

00:22:34.000 That is something they're very well known on.

00:22:36.000 Okay, I want to get to some other news of the day here.

00:22:39.000 And we're getting lots of emails.

00:22:41.000 You guys can email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:22:44.000 And I, for one, am having a great day because I love seeing America win. 1.00

00:22:48.000 And I also almost equally love seeing evil people lose, especially the Chinese. 1.00

00:22:54.000 Okay, let's get to some more news here. 1.00

00:22:56.000 The $3.5 trillion bill has been unveiled by the Democrats, a big budget plan, but that's only part one.

00:23:04.000 The other part that we have to focus on before is this infrastructure bill.

00:23:09.000 What's going on here?

00:23:11.000 Well, essentially, there's a massive infrastructure debate happening right now in Congress.

00:23:17.000 We've talked about this in so many words.

00:23:20.000 And for whatever reason, 18 Republicans have decided that while the border is wide open, while crime is being increased dramatically, that the most important thing they could do is to betray their voters and to try to negotiate a massive infrastructure package.

00:23:40.000 I want to go to cut 14 to just kind of set the terms of this debate right here.

00:23:44.000 Now, we're talking about two separate bills: there's a $3.5 trillion reconciliation package and an added-on $1 trillion infrastructure package. 0.91

00:23:53.000 They are separate, and they're both garbage. 0.99

00:23:56.000 They're both scams. 0.99

00:23:58.000 The infrastructure package is a $1.2 trillion bill that does not need to get passed.

00:24:03.000 But 18 Republicans are just, they can't sit still.

00:24:08.000 They just can't wait.

00:24:10.000 They can't.

00:24:12.000 They're almost looking at an opportunity to turn their back on their voters and to pander to Washington, D.C. lobbyists.

00:24:19.000 Let's play Cut 14 of Senator Ted Cruz kind of set the terms of this debate, Cut 14.

00:24:25.000 And when you add up the spending from December 2020 to now, with the Biden budget request, with the Democrats' tax and spend reconciliation proposal, with this infrastructure bill, with the so-called COVID relief bill, and with the emergency spending in December, you hit a whopping $9.5 trillion.

00:24:51.000 $9.5 trillion.

00:24:57.000 So why are Republicans playing along with this?

00:25:01.000 I've asked that question of a couple senators, and their responses, I'm going to privately dialogue with some of them, have been lackluster.

00:25:10.000 So where is this money being allocated?

00:25:14.000 Well, the infrastructure package, again, being different than the $3.5 trillion package, only $127 billion of it actually goes to infrastructure.

00:25:26.000 $7.5 billion will go to the first ever network of electric vehicle charging stations.

00:25:34.000 Infrastructure for electric vehicles, now it makes sense.

00:25:38.000 That's why Nancy Pelosi bought all that Tesla stuff. 1.00

00:25:42.000 Democrats, of course, being led by Biden, wanted to see new tax revenues such as a new gas tax, which was rejected by Republican senators.

00:25:52.000 The money's allocated $110 billion for roads and bridges, $39 billion for public transit, $7.5 billion for electric vehicles, $650 billion in funding from the bill comes from existing plans and planned investments in the country's roads, bridges, and highways.

00:26:11.000 Now, this is just some of the details that we're still learning.

00:26:13.000 Now, how about this?

00:26:14.000 $21 billion that will be earmarked for environmental remediation, whatever that is, or $50 billion under the catch-all category of climate resilience and western water storage.

00:26:29.000 The Washington Post reports that the bill has unleashed a lobbying bonanza with more than 2,000 companies and groups engaging Washington officials on infrastructure this year alone.

00:26:42.000 So let me tell you how this works.

00:26:44.000 Fortunately, it's a system I've seen happen in real time.

00:26:48.000 And regardless of Republican or Democrat, anyone that wishes to stand up against this sort of disgusting process, I will ally with them.

00:26:56.000 Here's how it works.

00:26:58.000 XYZ senator gets elected, let's say Senator Lisa Murkowski. 1.00

00:27:03.000 And while she gets elected, she does lots of fundraisers, many of whom in Washington, D.C., where she will have an event at some sort of lobbyist's office with a cheese tray and Diet Coke and $5 wine.

00:27:22.000 She will require $2,700 for every person to come into this reception. 0.94

00:27:30.000 And every single one of them works for one of the lobbying firms.

00:27:34.000 As a condition for that fundraiser, Lisa Murkowski then has to meet with those people beforehand. 1.00

00:27:40.000 And it's very clear that the $2,700 is being given under the condition and the expectation that when spending bills come, she's going to pick up the phone.

00:27:50.000 So now Lisa Murkowski's in the fight of her life in Alaska.

00:27:56.000 And so now these lobbyists are saying, hey, Senator Murkowski, if you want another volley and round of $2,700, you're going to have to do what we want to do.

00:28:05.000 For example, you're going to have to go put in electric vehicle charging stations, even though Alaska, obviously, has one of the largest depositories of natural gas on the planet.

00:28:19.000 Kim Strassel from the Wall Street Journal says, so why did 17 Republican senators vote to proceed?

00:28:24.000 On the baser end of the scale, here's the dirty little secret: the bill fundamentally amounts to a heap of spending, and some Republicans can spend with the best of Democrats.

00:28:34.000 The member press releases are already flying, bragging about the pork they are directing back to their home states.

00:28:43.000 The more charitable view is that some Republicans think that the bill helped reduce the reconciliation price tag.

00:28:51.000 Others make the stronger argument that the show of bipartisanship possibly makes it harder for Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema to abandon the filibuster.

00:29:01.000 Wall Street Journal also has a piece called the Electric Vehicle Welfare State.

00:29:05.000 Car makers back the Biden climate agenda in return for subsidies for higher consumer prices.

00:29:16.000 The infrastructure bill could enable government to track drivers' travel data.

00:29:22.000 Ever since we passed the 17th Amendment, which was the direct election of senators, you have these senators that are not listening to their voters.

00:29:31.000 They don't listen to what's best for their state or the state legislatures.

00:29:34.000 Instead, they listen to what's best for the lobbyists and the corporate donors.

00:29:38.000 This system must be disrupted.

00:29:41.000 I'm going to tell you about some of my conversations with some of these senators, who I think have convinced themselves that they're doing the right thing, but they are not doing the right thing.

00:29:49.000 We're already in the midst of an inflation crisis.

00:29:52.000 And who would ever think that another trillion dollars in a massive influx of spending is somehow a good idea?

00:30:00.000 The border is wide open.

00:30:02.000 We have medical apartheid of people that are not able to go into restaurants or go to school because they have not taken experimental medicine.

00:30:09.000 And Republicans, instead of doing anything about that, are now giving Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden another trillion dollars as a slush fund to destroy the country.

00:30:24.000 Is that what you guys voted for?

00:30:26.000 I want to go through the senators that are chomping at the bit to try and negotiate.

00:30:38.000 It's not even negotiation.

00:30:40.000 It's a pandering.

00:30:41.000 It's a handout.

00:30:43.000 So we're going to say these names clearly and slowly.

00:30:45.000 Tucker Carlson did this as well.

00:30:48.000 But we're going to do this again because they need to hear from you.

00:30:53.000 This bill has not yet passed yet.

00:30:55.000 In fact, Todd Young, I believe, and Connor can add some clarity to this, backed out because of the public pressure that was put on him from Idaho, from Indiana voters.

00:31:09.000 Okay.

00:31:10.000 Senator Blunt from Missouri.

00:31:13.000 Senator Burr from North Carolina.

00:31:15.000 He just doesn't care.

00:31:15.000 He just wants to be a lobbyist.

00:31:16.000 He's done.

00:31:18.000 Senator Capodo from West Virginia.

00:31:21.000 Senator Cassidy from Louisiana.

00:31:23.000 Senator Collins from Maine.

00:31:25.000 No surprise.

00:31:27.000 Senator Cornyn from Texas.

00:31:30.000 Senator Kramer from North Dakota.

00:31:33.000 Senator Crapo from Idaho, Senator Fisher from Nebraska, Senator Hoven from North Dakota, Senator McConnell from Kentucky, Senator Murkowski from Alaska, Senator Portman from Ohio,

00:31:48.000 another future lobbyist who just doesn't care, or university president of some indoctrination center, Senator Risch of Idaho, Senator Romney from Utah, no surprise, Senator Sullivan from Alaska, and Senator Tellis from North Carolina, and Senator Wicker from Mississippi.

00:32:06.000 Meanwhile, Senator Todd Young, who is up for re-election in 2022, announced he would now oppose the bill, citing concerns about the national debt.

00:32:15.000 Young was previously part of a larger group of 20 senators that supported the bipartisan infrastructure talks.

00:32:22.000 See how that works?

00:32:23.000 Public pressure, they reverse.

00:32:26.000 Now, missing from the list is Senator Graham, because Senator Graham originally was on the list, so I don't know what happened to him.

00:32:36.000 So the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, they've now invoked cloture, all this ridiculous procedure they have to go through in the United States Senate, some of which is actually helpful to kill really bad pieces of legislation.

00:32:51.000 Because now you have the Democrats, we know they're going to be on board for multi-trillion dollars in spending.

00:32:55.000 They think the bigger the government gets, eventually they're going to get human beings towards perfection.

00:33:01.000 This is part of their view.

00:33:02.000 It's part of this view of the Hegelian dialectic of progressivism, the cult of science.

00:33:08.000 But why are Republicans doing this?

00:33:10.000 Why are Republicans in really deep red states doing this?

00:33:14.000 And so I have some private text messages.

00:33:17.000 I'm not going to say who they're from.

00:33:19.000 Of some of these Republican senators that are trying to justify what they're doing.

00:33:23.000 And they're basically saying, here's the essence.

00:33:26.000 We didn't win enough seats to get everything we wanted.

00:33:30.000 Therefore, we must now negotiate.

00:33:32.000 Well, when you guys did have a Senate majority, you didn't do anything useful anyway, except judges, many of whom have really disappointed us.

00:33:41.000 But let me get this straight.

00:33:42.000 So you lose elections in certain states, but you win your elections.

00:33:49.000 Therefore, you must pander to Chuck Schumer because he is a 50-50 tie in the United States Senate.

00:33:55.000 Am I understanding that correctly?

00:33:58.000 That it's always a good time to pander for a trillion dollars in green energy.

00:34:04.000 You see, the Democrats, they know that if they push hard enough, the weak Republicans will break.

00:34:15.000 You can say a lot about Democrats.

00:34:18.000 In fact, we do our mission.

00:34:19.000 Anti-American, Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, Communists, Marxists.

00:34:26.000 But they don't take threats from Republicans seriously.

00:34:31.000 They know they're in charge, and they're willing to use political power.

00:34:35.000 Republicans, on the other hand, we always have this desire to win over Democrats, as if this is a coffee shop debate at Yale.

00:34:42.000 Please like me, socialist person.

00:34:44.000 Please, can I get invited to your cocktail party?

00:34:46.000 My wife can sit on the board of a college if I do your infrastructure bill. 1.00

00:34:50.000 If I named off one of your senators, contact them now.

00:34:54.000 Flood their offices.

00:34:56.000 Say, I did not elect you to be Joe Biden's paper boy in the United States Senate.

00:36:08.000 Just in August, there's been 28 people shot and killed, 140 people shot and wounded, and 168 people total shot, and 29 homicides in the city of Chicago.

00:36:17.000 A person is shot every one hour and 57 minutes, and a person is murdered every 10 hours and 42 minutes.

00:36:23.000 Just this year alone, 468 people have been shot and killed, 2,262 people shot and wounded, 2,730 people total shot, and 494 total homicides.

00:36:34.000 Just this last week in Chicago, 23 people shot and killed, and 103 shot and wounded, 126 total shot, and 24 homicides.

00:36:44.000 This last weekend, a police officer was killed in cold blood in Chicago.

00:36:51.000 Her name, Ella French.

00:36:56.000 If Ella French was a fentanyl-filled drug addict, then everyone would be saying her name and having shirts and billboards dedicated to her. 1.00

00:37:06.000 But no, instead, Ella French was a police officer who just wanted to do good.

00:37:13.000 Play cut six of the cold-blooded murder of a police officer in Chicago that is finally starting to get some headlines out of people.

00:37:21.000 And by the way, she had a two-month baby at home. 0.68

00:37:25.000 This is what happens when you get lunatics like Corey Bush saying that you have to defund the police. 0.98

00:37:30.000 Gangbangers and thugs start to kill police officers in cold blood. 0.99

00:37:35.000 Cut six.

00:37:36.000 29-year-old officer Ella French died from a gunshot wound to the head.

00:37:41.000 She joined the force in 2018 because she wanted to do good, according to her brother, who says Ella wanted to see people get the help they needed more than throwing people in jail.

00:37:51.000 The other officer, a six-year veteran on the force, is in critical condition and fighting for his life after being shot three times, including one bullet that went through his eye.

00:38:02.000 Cut seven is the police scanner audio of the call made for officers down.

00:38:06.000 Before we get to that, if you go to the New York Times.com, WashingtonPost.com, no coverage at all.

00:38:11.000 Of course.

00:38:13.000 And then cover David Dorn.

00:38:15.000 They don't cover when police officers are murdered in cold blood by gangbangers and criminals.

00:38:20.000 Instead, they cover when criminals die.

00:38:23.000 Cut seven.

00:38:27.000 I got an officer down.

00:38:28.000 10-1, 10-1, 6-3 and bail.

00:38:29.000 Officer down, officer down, stopped at the police.

00:38:32.000 Officer down, male black, a blue cuff jersey.

00:38:35.000 He shot at the police.

00:38:36.000 6-3 and bail.

00:38:37.000 Give it some good.

00:38:39.000 Connor, can you get the name and face of the person who killed Ella French?

00:38:43.000 I think it's important that we say that person's name just because the same way we said Derek Chauvin's name.

00:38:49.000 Media is not interested in that.

00:38:50.000 The head of the Chicago Police Union says that Lori Lightfoot has emboldened criminals by not backing the police.

00:38:56.000 Now she has to pivot before it's too late. 0.98

00:38:59.000 Cut nine. 0.93

00:39:00.000 It's disgusting.

00:39:02.000 And now because the political climate says the defund policy and the police maybe aren't the enemy, now she has to pivot and now she has to be our best friend. 0.95

00:39:10.000 It's too damn late.

00:39:11.000 The men and women of this police department have no respect for this mayor.

00:39:15.000 And this liberal, I'm not sure if it's a liberal commentator or whatever, this is the way a lot of people think.

00:39:21.000 Says that I'm not defending the person who murdered a police officer or killed a cop.

00:39:26.000 I should say murder implies the victim is human.

00:39:29.000 You hear that?

00:39:32.000 Police officers aren't human. 1.00

00:39:34.000 It's okay to kill them. 0.84

00:39:36.000 So while our government is allegedly concerned about the spread of a virus has a 0.04% fatality rate, must wear masks everywhere you go, questionable vaccine results. 1.00

00:39:50.000 No, the blood in the streets and the carnage in Chicago, you dare mention it, you're a white supremacist because they're not human. 0.94

00:39:57.000 Cut 10.

00:39:59.000 On folks, is it possible maybe that we don't need to be living in a world where like armed thug gangsters will pull random people over just for fun?

00:40:08.000 Because that makes people upset.

00:40:09.000 Hey, I'm not defending the person who murdered a cop or who killed a cop, I should say.

00:40:14.000 It's not murder because murder implies that the victim is a human.

00:40:17.000 You hear that?

00:40:18.000 It's the cops that are the gangsters pulling over for no reason.

00:40:22.000 Oh, so obviously it's a TikToker or whatever, you know, the modern philosopher King. 0.99

00:40:31.000 The statement that is held by millions of Americans around police officers is that, okay, you pull them over for nothing, and then they deserve to get shot in the eye.

00:40:42.000 This person's a TikTok influencer, and they won't have their stuff taken down.

00:40:45.000 And by the way, that sort of, I want to replay this tape because it happens so quickly.

00:40:49.000 Your children should not be allowed to have smartphones before they reach the age of 18.

00:40:55.000 Because every time that you turn your back on them and you might be washing the dishes and they turn down their smartphone, these are the people that are teaching your children.

00:41:03.000 There are thousands of people on TikTok and on Instagram and Snapchat that espouse these ideas.

00:41:10.000 People say, Charlie, why is it that young people tend to be so liberal?

00:41:13.000 It's because parents really, quite honestly, haven't really taken parenting seriously.

00:41:18.000 They've just given them a phone.

00:41:20.000 It's their digital pacifier.

00:41:21.000 And they say, here, you know, don't bother me right now. 0.70

00:41:24.000 I got to go be a boss babe or whatever millennial moms have to do. 1.00

00:41:29.000 Play that again. 0.91

00:41:30.000 I want you to play this again.

00:41:32.000 This is someone who has a serious following on social media, who calls the police officers gangsters, who says that cops are not humans.

00:41:42.000 Massive social media following.

00:41:44.000 And of course, nothing to say, like, oh, yeah, you pull out a gun and you shoot someone in the eye.

00:41:50.000 Yeah, no comment on that.

00:41:52.000 Cut 10.

00:41:53.000 On folks, is it possible, maybe, that we don't need to be living in a world where like armed thug gangsters will pull random people over just for fun?

00:42:01.000 Because that makes people upset.

00:42:03.000 Hey, I'm not defending the person who murdered a cop or who killed a cop, I should say.

00:42:07.000 It's not murder, because murder implies that the victim is a human.

00:42:10.000 You see, that person thinks they're being so cute.

00:42:12.000 Oh, yeah, murder implies the victim is human because police officers are not human.

00:42:18.000 Of course, Chicago is not releasing the names or the faces of the thugs that killed Ella French.

00:42:24.000 They're all in custody.

00:42:25.000 Their names will come out soon and eventually.

00:42:28.000 They're not releasing the background of the gangbangers that killed this police in cold blood, but we'll get their names.

00:42:36.000 We'll make them very famous.

00:42:38.000 Happen on the west side of Chicago.

00:42:41.000 So we're supposed to change our entire life around the idea of public health.

00:42:50.000 It's kind of the new thing, right?

00:42:51.000 Supposed to wear masks, children have to wear masks, get vaccinated.

00:42:54.000 By the way, breaking news, the military is now going to require vaccinations by September 15th.

00:43:02.000 And Republican leaders aren't standing up for the military.

00:43:04.000 Of course, no, they're negotiating infrastructure.

00:43:09.000 The distance between the Republicans we send to Washington, D.C. and the voters and the wants and concerns of their citizens.

00:43:17.000 It's actually, I was going to say it's impressive.

00:43:20.000 It's not.

00:43:22.000 It's not the right word.

00:43:24.000 It's stunning.

00:43:25.000 It's shocking.

00:43:26.000 It's hard to believe that our system of government has such unbelievably self-righteous, sanctimonious people in D.C. We're supposed to reorganize society around public health.

00:43:41.000 So I'm just curious, maybe Connor can get the numbers.

00:43:44.000 How many people have died of the Chinese coronavirus in Chicago in the last couple days?

00:43:52.000 We know that 29 people have died August to date in just Chicago.

00:44:00.000 So where are the leaders speaking out against this?

00:44:08.000 Where's Obama?

00:44:11.000 Obama's Chicago's hometown, allegedly.

00:44:15.000 I'm laughing because I'm from the suburbs of Chicago.

00:44:18.000 Barry Sotero is from Chicago, like I'm from Phoenix.

00:44:22.000 He moved there.

00:44:23.000 Okay?

00:44:25.000 Barry Sotero, Barry Hussein Sotero.

00:44:30.000 He went to Harvard and Columbia, grew up in Hawaii.

00:44:36.000 So here's what we know: 21 Chinese coronavirus deaths in Cook County in August.

00:44:36.000 Oh, okay.

00:44:42.000 29 total homicides. 0.98

00:44:44.000 You are more likely to die from a gangbanger than from the Chinese coronavirus.

00:44:50.000 So maybe instead of wearing a mask, you should do something about that.

00:44:55.000 Obama had a birthday party.

00:44:59.000 This last.

00:45:00.000 While, of course, Ella French was murdered in the streets of Chicago. 0.93

00:45:04.000 Isn't it interesting that Chicago does, that Obama doesn't spend his summers in Chicago?

00:45:10.000 Why doesn't Obama spend his summers in Englewood?

00:45:13.000 He's afraid he's going to get shot.

00:45:15.000 That's why.

00:45:16.000 No, no, no.

00:45:16.000 Instead, Barack Hussein Sotero Obama spends his summers at the Ritzy, exclusive, isolated, mostly white Martha's Vineyard Island.

00:45:34.000 Now, I just want to give you a little bit of a fact kind of sheet on Martha's Vineyard.

00:45:40.000 People talk about it.

00:45:41.000 I've actually never been to Martha's Vineyard, but I know quite a lot about it.

00:45:44.000 One of the reasons I've never been there is it's so hard to get to.

00:45:47.000 It's literally an island.

00:45:49.000 It's kind of where the ruling class of the Northeast go to plot and plan, reflect, and chart the course of the future.

00:45:59.000 So Obama turned 60, and we're supposed to care about this.

00:46:03.000 Now, this is just a general comment.

00:46:05.000 I'm going to get a lot of hate benefits.

00:46:07.000 A general comment on humanity.

00:46:10.000 But people that really care about celebrating their own birthday, like where they make it a really big deal, like it's my birthday.

00:46:16.000 I have to do this, generally not really big fans of these types of people.

00:46:22.000 People that kind of shrug, like, yeah, I guess it's my birthday.

00:46:25.000 That's my style.

00:46:26.000 It's like, yeah, I guess I'm just going to go to work.

00:46:27.000 Like, thanks for the cake.

00:46:28.000 Okay, let's talk about whatever.

00:46:30.000 So Obama put on this massive party.

00:46:33.000 Total narcissism.

00:46:37.000 And people say, y'all have never seen Obama like this in your life.

00:46:41.000 Nobody ever seen Obama like this.

00:46:43.000 Now, of course, he lives in a $12 million mansion.

00:46:48.000 Now, I would say the address is publicly available.

00:46:54.000 I don't want to say it because I don't want to get accused of doxing, but let's just say the main area, it's right on the water, which is interesting because I thought we were going to all suffer from climate change.

00:47:06.000 By the way, of the 15,966 people who live on Martha's Vineyard, 511 are African American. 0.60

00:47:16.000 So it's 90% white.

00:47:18.000 So Obama is Obama, does Obama have contempt for the black population in America?

00:47:24.000 Does Obama not want to live amongst the people that launched his political career?

00:47:30.000 Anyway, so Obama really wanted to have the 60th birthday party.

00:47:34.000 He really wanted to have this birthday bash.

00:47:37.000 But he had a little bit of a problem.

00:47:39.000 You see, the narrative on the Democrat side is we have to be really worried.

00:47:43.000 We have to act as if things are really terrible right now to try to justify more power for ourselves.

00:47:47.000 They said, huh?

00:47:48.000 How do we have a party with all of these anti-American narcissists while getting, oh, we're going to say we're scaling it back?

00:47:56.000 That was their big thing because of the Delta variant.

00:47:59.000 So they had Beyoncé, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen. 0.60

00:48:02.000 I thought Chrissy Teigen was canceled because she basically told people to go kill themselves a lot. 1.00

00:48:07.000 Nope, she still came. 1.00

00:48:10.000 Who else was in attendance?

00:48:12.000 I'm sure we have the whole list there.

00:48:13.000 Anyway, so they said, oh, we're scaling it back.

00:48:16.000 And instead, they built this superstructure.

00:48:20.000 And Steven Spielberg was there.

00:48:21.000 Jay-Z was there.

00:48:23.000 I'm talking about a tent city that looked like something out of a Harry Potter film.

00:48:31.000 You've never seen anything like this.

00:48:33.000 It's one of the largest tent structures ever.

00:48:38.000 And they say, oh, no, no, yeah, we scaled it down.

00:48:39.000 They didn't scale anything.

00:48:43.000 And then pictures were leaked from the DJ, and he will be sent to the camps soon, audited, and his family will be targeted.

00:48:50.000 Where he took pictures and he started posting it.

00:48:53.000 And what did we find?

00:48:55.000 We found that Obama and Michelle and Jay-Z and John Legend, they weren't wearing masks.

00:49:04.000 They were inside enjoying their 90% white neighborhood in Martha's Vineyard in their $12 million home in a superstructure tent, all while complaining about racial justice, not wearing masks.

00:49:18.000 Yet your child this fall might have to wear a mask. 0.75

00:49:23.000 In fact, if you walk into a restaurant here in Las Vegas, they will scream at you if you're not wearing a mask.

00:49:30.000 They don't care about you.

00:49:33.000 A lot of people ask me, Charlie, how do you know so much about American history?

00:49:37.000 The answer is not from school.

00:49:40.000 As many of you know, I did not go to formal college, actually.

00:49:43.000 I didn't go to college at all.

00:49:45.000 So my education has been a process.

00:49:49.000 I've always been committed to learning and diving deep into ideas.

00:49:53.000 And one source of truth and knowledge has been the greatest partner in that pursuit of learning.

00:50:01.000 And that is Hillsdale College.

00:50:04.000 American history and civics education.

00:50:07.000 They're quite honestly at a turning point.

00:50:09.000 And the Hillsdale 1776 curriculum, they are teaching the truth.

00:50:14.000 And they have downloadable curriculum for you and your children for free at charlieforhillsdale.com.

00:51:05.000 I finished the introduction to Aristotle, How to Live a Good Life.

00:51:08.000 And they have a new one called The Great American Story that I'm taking, and it's phenomenal.

00:51:13.000 If you say, Charlie, how do I get my kids to know history?

00:52:40.000 CharlieFor Hillsdale.com.

00:52:42.000 Phenomenal partners.

00:52:44.000 Please check it out right now.

00:52:47.000 Obama was partying while a cop was murdered in his hometown of Chicago.

00:52:54.000 Again, if Obama had a 60th birthday party, why didn't he have the 60th birthday party in Chicago?

00:53:01.000 Why not right in the middle of Hyde Park?

00:53:04.000 Because it's not safe?

00:53:06.000 You can judge a person rather well.

00:53:10.000 You can see a lot about a person on the town and the home they used to be in, whether or not they want to associate with it anymore.

00:53:18.000 No, Obama wants to be in Martha's Vineyard.

00:53:21.000 So it's really incredible.

00:53:24.000 I have to say, they just keep on outdoing themselves.

00:53:28.000 So Anna Carney, who's the New York Times White House correspondent, she hasn't really done much journalism lately.

00:53:34.000 She doesn't have to because she's state-run media.

00:53:36.000 She did a lot under Obama, I mean, under Trump.

00:53:40.000 So she was asked about Obama's party guests.

00:53:43.000 Okay, so Lola Palooza happened in Chicago, which growing up in Chicago, you know about Lola. 0.99

00:53:48.000 It's hundreds of thousands of spoiled brat upper-middle-class suburban kids who think they're being super rebellious to go downtown Chicago, no social distancing, and go do a bunch of weed.

00:53:57.000 These are good people that go to Lola too, but that's basically it.

00:54:00.000 Okay, so Andrews calls it, it says it's Lala Palooza. 0.98

00:54:03.000 Okay.

00:54:04.000 So just so you're clear, this is a debate we had all throughout high school.

00:54:07.000 Okay.

00:54:08.000 People would call it Lola.

00:54:10.000 Andrew, I grew up in Chicago.

00:54:11.000 Okay.

00:54:12.000 Thinks he knows what, thinks he knows what Lola is.

00:54:15.000 It's a debate.

00:54:16.000 Some people say it's 100% Lala.

00:54:19.000 Anyway.

00:54:21.000 The point, not going to die on this hill.

00:54:24.000 Okay.

00:54:24.000 It's been about a decade since I've talked about this.

00:54:26.000 It could very well be wrong.

00:54:28.000 Total side note.

00:54:29.000 No social distancing.

00:54:30.000 No mat with some masks, whatever.

00:54:34.000 So this woman, I don't know, or Anna Carney says, this is what she has to say.

00:54:38.000 Oh, no, no.

00:54:39.000 The Obama thing was fine because it was a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd.

00:54:46.000 See, they're not like the unwashed at the biker rally. 0.94

00:54:51.000 They're not like the deplorable, smelly people.

00:54:55.000 This is a person that writes for the New York Times.

00:54:57.000 Play cut 11.

00:54:59.000 Other people said, you know, this is really being overblown.

00:55:04.000 They're following all the safety precautions.

00:55:06.000 People are going to sporting events that are bigger than this.

00:55:09.000 This is going to be safe.

00:55:10.000 This is a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd.

00:55:13.000 And this is just about optics.

00:55:14.000 It's not about safety.

00:55:16.000 It's a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd.

00:55:18.000 I mean, come on.

00:55:19.000 They're part of the ruling class.

00:55:21.000 They do what they want.

00:55:22.000 It's not like they have to be worried about the concerns of the underlings.

00:55:26.000 This is a theme that we're seeing.

00:55:28.000 And, you know, hypocrisy used to make people lose their jobs.

00:55:34.000 Fauci, by the other side, on the other hand, he goes after all of those that attended the Sturgis motorcycle rally, which, again, I've never been to Sturgis.

00:55:44.000 I know a lot of people that go, now those are great people.

00:55:47.000 The Obama people, forget it.

00:55:48.000 The Sturgis people, they love America.

00:55:50.000 But I think it's mostly outdoors, literally riding on a motorcycle, not a lot of chance for transmission.

00:55:57.000 Again, at this point, are we really going to all of a sudden relock?

00:56:00.000 Well, we are relocking when it comes to it.

00:56:02.000 But it's really something we have to worry about, overemphasis.

00:56:04.000 No, no, no.

00:56:05.000 Fauci says around Sturgis ignores the Obama thing, ignores Lala or Lola Palooza, whatever.

00:56:13.000 But he focuses on the Sturgis motorcycle rally.

00:56:16.000 Why?

00:56:17.000 Here's why.

00:56:18.000 There's very few Joe Biden voters that go to the Sturgis motorcycle rally.

00:56:22.000 That's why.

00:56:22.000 Cut one.

00:56:24.000 Well, I'm very concerned, Chuck, that we're going to see another surge related to that rally.

00:56:30.000 There comes a time when you're dealing with a public health crisis that could involve you, your family, and everyone else, that something supersedes that need to do exactly what you want to do.

00:56:42.000 I mean, you're going to ultimately be able to do that in the future, but let's get this pandemic under control before we start acting like nothing is going on.

00:56:52.000 You know, the more I listen to these him talk, I think he's saying without realizing it, let's get this under control.

00:57:00.000 Let's get you under control. 0.84

00:57:02.000 You guys can email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:57:06.000 What do you make of this video?

00:57:08.000 I'm not going to say anything about it.

00:57:10.000 Cut 13, Joe Biden mandated masks on federal property, and then he was seen not wearing a mask on federal property later the same day.

00:57:17.000 Cut 13.

00:57:19.000 The first order I'm going to be signing here is requiring, as I said all along, or I have authority, mandating masks be worn, social distancing be kept on federal property, on interstate commerce, etc.

00:57:32.000 Hello, all the participants of tonight's event.

00:57:37.000 It's humbling to stand here in this place in front of these sacred words.

00:57:42.000 No mask.

00:57:43.000 There's a phenomenal article by Jeffrey H. Anderson in the Claremont Review of Books.

00:57:48.000 I highly recommend it.

00:57:50.000 If you're looking just for a journal where they really get stuff right, the Claremont Review of Books is phenomenal.

00:57:54.000 Called The Masking of America.

00:57:57.000 And the argument that is made in this piece is that we are entering a period of permanent masks.

00:58:05.000 This is what two doctors at New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine said: quote, we should never fully return to our maskless society where only health care providers donned a mask.

00:58:18.000 Because judicious use of masks will continue to save lives.

00:58:23.000 This is the New York Mount Sinai School of Medicine said.

00:58:30.000 Faceless people make compliant subjects not good citizens.

00:58:39.000 Faceless people make you more likely to obey.

00:58:46.000 Seeing and showing the face is a fundamental aspect of human existence. 0.99

00:58:54.000 Can't see the face, you can't see the totality of emotion.

00:59:00.000 He writes in this article: Americans' reaction to COVID-19, however, has been radically different from their behavior in 1968, 1957, or 1918.

00:59:09.000 Writing in the Wall Street Journal, the Hoover Institution's Neil Ferguson, who's phenomenal, by the way, recalls that President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ike, asked Congress for $2.5 million in additional funding for the public health service during the Asian flu.

00:59:24.000 Overall, Congress has authorized about 2 million times more than that for COVID-19.

00:59:30.000 In 1957, there was no widespread school closures, travel bans, or mask mandates.

00:59:34.000 Ferguson quotes one person's recollection of those days, quote, for those who grew up in the 1930s and 40s, there is nothing unusual but finding yourself threatened by contagious disease.

00:59:45.000 Mumps, measles, chickenpox, and German measles swept through entire schools and towns.

00:59:50.000 I had all four. 1.00

00:59:51.000 We took the Asian flu in stride. 0.61

00:59:54.000 Jeffrey makes a phenomenal point here, which I want to expand on, which people say, trust the science.

01:00:02.000 Trust the science.

01:00:04.000 And we've even gone into the biblical roots of science and all of that, but you cannot allow only science to govern you.

01:00:13.000 Now, this is considered heresy.

01:00:16.000 Science is the religion.

01:00:19.000 It is the moral compass or lack thereof of America's ruling class.

01:00:25.000 You ever notice Nancy Pelosi does her press conferences with a massive badge of the healthcare science? 1.00

01:00:35.000 For her, that's her ultimate principle.

01:00:37.000 Not her alleged Catholicism, not her faith, not her country, but it's science.

01:00:45.000 Socrates warned against this.

01:00:48.000 Socrates made it clear in Plato's Republic that he did not want doctors to rule.

01:00:55.000 Why?

01:00:56.000 Well, it's because he understood that doctors, by contrast, tend to disregard the soul of a human being.

01:01:08.000 It is the nature of their art to focus on the body in lieu of higher concerns.

01:01:16.000 Greek philosophers and poets alike celebrated courage in the face of death, Anderson writes.

01:01:23.000 Plato, Socrates, and Homer's Achilles were undeterred from their noble missions by their fear of the grave.

01:01:31.000 But rule by public health officials under which we increasingly live today encourages excessive risk aversion and almost transforms cowardice into a virtue.

01:01:42.000 I just have to be safe.

01:01:44.000 Being ruled by hypochondriacs.

01:01:48.000 He continues by saying that Westerners at their best recognize that each individual human being is unique and has inherent value.

01:01:59.000 Charles Darwin, of whom I'm not a massive fan of, did write extensively about the face, about how that is a unique characteristic of a human being.

01:02:08.000 Darwin observed in his 1872 book, The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals, that communication, according to Darwin, was, quote, of paramount importance to the development of man.

01:02:20.000 The human communication is, quote, much aided by the expressive movements of the face and the body.

01:02:28.000 Not to mention the masks aren't even having the efficacy you think they're having.

01:02:33.000 Note in great detail here that minors are far less apt to spread the virus, and the CDC statistics show that 99.9% of COVID deaths in the United States have not been minors, but adults.

01:02:46.000 If you drive your child to school and they're forced to wear a mask at school, they're more likely to die in the car ride over than from the Chinese coronavirus.

01:02:58.000 If your school cared about your child's safety, they would ban cholesterol driving to the local school.

01:03:07.000 But of course, if safety is your ultimate value, you're going to live a pretty depressing life.

01:03:14.000 You're going to be in agoraphobic fear of leaving one's home.

01:03:20.000 But those people are easy to control. 0.88

01:03:23.000 Wear the mask, Neanderthal.

01:03:26.000 You're not as enlightened as we are. 0.94

01:03:28.000 But the goal, of course, is not stopping the epidemiological spread.

01:03:31.000 It's something we've talked about many times here since the beginning of the mask hysteria.

01:03:37.000 It's creating compliant subjects, not good citizens.

01:03:43.000 And what are you going to do about it?

01:03:45.000 And why are we still putting up with this?

01:03:47.000 I think we have the clip here of Obama dancing at his party.

01:03:52.000 Do we have that one loaded up?

01:03:53.000 Let's play Cut 16 Instagram video of Obama dancing.

01:03:56.000 You guys can make your own judgments.

01:03:57.000 Tell me what you think.

01:03:58.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.

01:03:59.000 PlayCut 16.

01:04:08.000 Sure doesn't feel like a pandemic where we must be very serious and lock down everything, but you Sturgis motorcycle rally, unwashed terrible people, Obama's Martha's Vineyard, whatever that was.

01:04:20.000 Joe Rogan is speaking out against vaccination passports. 0.55

01:04:24.000 Play Cut 17, and he is not alone.

01:04:27.000 By the way, they're mandating the vaccine for the military.

01:04:29.000 They're mandating the vaccine for schools.

01:04:31.000 And people say, Charlie, what can I do?

01:04:33.000 Well, unfortunately, your Republican leaders have abandoned you.

01:04:37.000 They are not protecting you.

01:04:40.000 Your Republican leaders, your governors and your senators, they quite honestly think so little of you, they don't even speak out against these mandatory vaccination measures.

01:04:52.000 Except Rand Paul.

01:04:53.000 He's been pretty good.

01:04:54.000 Play Cut 17.

01:04:56.000 Because when you give people freedom, you let people do whatever the f they want to do, they actually find ways to succeed and grow and thrive.

01:05:03.000 But as soon as you put the boots to them, as soon as you tell them, you have to do this or you can't do that, you have to listen to me.

01:05:10.000 Now you have a mini dictator. 1.00

01:05:12.000 You have one step away from a king.

01:05:14.000 You have one step closer.

01:05:16.000 You're moving one step closer to dictatorship.

01:05:19.000 That's what the f is happening. 1.00

01:05:20.000 That's what's going to happen with a vaccine passport. 0.85

01:05:22.000 That's what's going to happen if they close borders. 0.92

01:05:24.000 You can't enter New York City unless you have your papers.

01:05:27.000 Yep, that's what's happening, Joe Rogan.

01:05:29.000 Welcome to the party.

01:05:30.000 I've been here for about a year and a half, but better late than never.

01:05:33.000 He's been, I've got to give Joe credit.

01:05:35.000 He has been talking on this theme, but that's the most explicit he has been on this topic.

01:05:41.000 Now, this is, of course, nothing against the people of Arkansas, but one of the leaders, alleged leaders in the Republican Party that I think exemplifies everything wrong with the party, is the governor of Arkansas, Asa Hutchinson.

01:05:54.000 He might be America's worst Republican governor.

01:05:57.000 He's up there with Charlie Baker and many others.

01:06:00.000 He believes that it's perfectly okay for nine-year-olds to be able to chemically castrate themselves.

01:06:05.000 In fact, he defended it.

01:06:06.000 He thinks that the idea of freedom in the conservative sense is nine-year-olds being able to castrate themselves.

01:06:12.000 He's a corporate hack, typical Walmart type guy, Sam's Club, wants open borders, cheap products.

01:06:18.000 He is a very weak person, typical Republican.

01:06:22.000 As you can tell, my patience for Republicans has been wearing thinner and thinner as the stakes get higher and higher.

01:06:27.000 They run to the hills.

01:06:28.000 So what does he do?

01:06:29.000 He says, I regret signing the law banning mask mandates.

01:06:33.000 Cut 18.

01:06:35.000 I signed it for those reasons that our cases are at a low point.

01:06:38.000 Everything has changed now.

01:06:40.000 And yes, in hindsight, I wish that had not become law.

01:06:44.000 But it is the law.

01:06:45.000 And the only chance we have is either to amend it or for the courts to say that it has an unconstitutional foundation. 0.99

01:06:54.000 Well, thank goodness you were so stupid to sign it because you didn't even, like, I regret it. 0.99

01:06:59.000 I didn't really even understand what I was signing. 1.00

01:07:00.000 Because, well, thank goodness you're dumb. 1.00

01:07:03.000 You're both corrupt and not very wise. 1.00

01:07:06.000 It's unbelievable. 0.99

01:07:07.000 Any Republican governor that institutes mask mandates, any further lockdowns, or makes children wear masks, they are complicit in the abuse of children.

01:07:16.000 It's that simple.

01:07:19.000 You know what really disappoints me, though, is that there is this massive disconnect between the voters, you, and your leaders.

01:07:30.000 You guys get this.

01:07:32.000 You guys understand that this whole mask thing is a power grab.

01:07:37.000 When I'm approached by people in airports and restaurants, the wisdom and the clarity and the ability to grasp these issues impresses me.

01:07:46.000 Yet I see this fool, the governor of Arkansas, and then I see these 18 Republicans that are doing this infrastructure thing. 0.95

01:07:54.000 I think to myself, I would pick a random name in the phone book of some guy in the hills of Arkansas over that lunatic. 0.96

01:08:03.000 Just complete betrayal of what the voters wanted and what they asked you to do, which is please defend me in my way of life.

01:08:13.000 Stop cutting crony deals and just do what you say you're going to do.

01:08:17.000 Keep the pressure on everybody.

01:08:19.000 Don't get cynical.

01:08:22.000 Stay focused on them and make them hear from you.
