00:00:31.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:35.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:36.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:37.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:38.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. 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.
00:00:54.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:22.000 Remember, it was the heat.
00:01:24.000 Of Kamala Harris' brat summer.
00:01:28.000 The TikTok kids were all behind Kamala Harris.
00:01:32.000 They were dancing in the streets saying that she's going to be the next president.
00:01:35.000 There was a sugar high that we were witnessing in the polls in late July and early August.
00:01:42.000 It looked as if Kamala Harris was the favorite to become president.
00:01:48.000 It was hard to even grasp and believe, but...
00:01:51.000 Kamala Harris, who had no accomplishments and messed up the border and was responsible for the blunder between Russia and Ukraine, and talks about being unburdened by what has been.
00:02:02.000 She was the favorite in the betting markets.
00:02:06.000 And then Chicago came.
00:02:08.000 As you know, we went to the Democrat National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, my hometown.
00:02:13.000 We went right down to the floor of the DNC, gotten a little bit of spats with some folks.
00:02:19.000 And the DNC put on a good show.
00:02:21.000 Barack Obama does what Barack Obama does.
00:02:24.000 They had all this talk about unity, and it looked as if their poll numbers were going to be lifted.
00:02:30.000 But the Trump campaign, to Susie Wiles' great credit, and to the whole team there, they had something in their back pocket.
00:02:39.000 I was tipped off about a week ahead of time.
00:02:42.000 Now, I don't leak, and I don't even leak to my team.
00:02:47.000 And people were messaging me saying, Charlie, what's going on here?
00:02:49.000 It feels like something's happening.
00:02:51.000 So about a week ahead of time.
00:02:53.000 So this would have been the day after the DNC. They wanted us to do the event.
00:02:58.000 I got a message.
00:03:00.000 And they say, hey, would you be willing to help do an event in Arizona?
00:03:03.000 We think the president's going to come and it will be really big with some big news.
00:03:07.000 I said, of course, any way we could do to help.
00:03:09.000 And I was working with James Blair and the whole great team there.
00:03:12.000 I said, any way we could help.
00:03:14.000 So then Don called me.
00:03:15.000 And he said, hey, you can't repeat this.
00:03:18.000 You can't repeat this.
00:03:20.000 But Bobby is going to be endorsing Donald Trump.
00:03:24.000 I said, really?
00:03:26.000 And when Don calls the shot, I mean, it is as legit as it gets.
00:03:30.000 Now, I've never told this story publicly, because now who cares, right?
00:03:33.000 And so in the days leading up to this event, this was during the DNC, we were going to have the, our event was Friday, the day after the DNC ended in Chicago.
00:03:44.000 And so all of a sudden things started to really move with some momentum.
00:03:48.000 Wednesday, Thursday, and Kamala Harris gave her speech and the media was fawning over it.
00:03:54.000 And then Friday came.
00:03:56.000 Friday, August 23rd, 2024. A day that changed American politics for good.
00:04:04.000 Where Bobby Kennedy decided to suspend his candidacy, an independent candidacy, and endorse Donald Trump.
00:04:13.000 For the presidency, a Kennedy endorsing a Republican.
00:04:18.000 That was our event right there.
00:04:20.000 And I got to give Lauren and Tyler and the team credit.
00:04:23.000 I got to give them credit.
00:04:25.000 I fought them on those sparklers.
00:04:28.000 I said, that's a waste of money.
00:04:29.000 What are we doing with these sparklers?
00:04:31.000 What are we, WWE? I got to give them credit.
00:04:34.000 That's going to be in the Smithsonian.
00:04:36.000 That's going to be in the Trump library.
00:04:38.000 That's going to be an image that will live forever.
00:04:44.000 That sparkler aesthetic.
00:04:46.000 I mean, that is as good as it gets.
00:04:47.000 That's been seen by, I think, all of humanity at this point.
00:04:52.000 RFK endorsing Donald Trump was a moment in history.
00:04:55.000 It was a seismic change in how our politics has been running.
00:05:02.000 Bobby Kennedy of the Camelot family.
00:05:08.000 Bobby Kennedy.
00:05:09.000 Who ran as a Democrat for the presidency, who then ran as an independent, endorsing Donald Trump, completely changed the 2024 election.
00:05:19.000 The Unity Party was born, and with it came Tulsi Gabbard and so many others.
00:05:23.000 It was a vibe shift, and it came again the day after the high point.
00:05:27.000 I believe, truly believe this, that Bobby Kennedy endorsing Donald Trump was the beginning of the end of the brat summer.
00:05:36.000 For Kamala Harris, and data supports me on this, and then eventually led to the acceleration to Election Day, which was J.D. Vance's debate against Tim Walz.
00:05:46.000 I think the two inflection points were RFK endorsing Donald Trump, which just cut all of their momentum off, and the brilliance of the Trump campaign team right off the DNC, boom, we come in with the largest possible endorsement we can.
00:06:00.000 And then it wasn't just like an endorsement.
00:06:02.000 This guy was actively on the ballot in the swing states.
00:06:06.000 Now, some people were very concerned about voting for Donald Trump in 2024 because they said he wasn't as strong on COVID as I would have liked.
00:06:18.000 Bobby Kennedy wrote the book against Anthony Fauci.
00:06:21.000 Bobby Kennedy has started the Make America Healthy Again movement.
00:06:28.000 And here it was on stage at Turning Point.
00:06:33.000 Play Cut 173. He is a great person.
00:06:37.000 I've known him for so long.
00:06:39.000 for the past 16 months, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
00:06:43.000 Man, whoa.
00:06:46.000 And he deserves it.
00:06:56.000 He deserves it.
00:06:57.000 From that point forward, it was a sprint to decision day.
00:07:03.000 When Trump said that, whoa!
00:07:05.000 Trump realizing what he unlocked.
00:07:08.000 President Trump had high energy, high intensity, and it just went to the moon.
00:07:11.000 And I can tell you dozens of people, including local patriots here, some of which are pediatricians, wonderful person.
00:07:22.000 Who is he?
00:07:23.000 I might vote for Trump, might not.
00:07:25.000 And as soon as Bobby Kennedy entered all in, I could tell you that there were tens of thousands of suburban moms in Arizona.
00:07:33.000 That voted for Trump because of the RFK wrinkle.
00:07:37.000 And then, of course, we won.
00:07:38.000 And I could tell you, I was in and around Mar-a-Lago as these decisions were being made.
00:07:44.000 And there was an external pressure campaign by Big Pharma, by Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson& Johnson, Eli Lilly.
00:07:51.000 Oh no, don't give Bobby Kennedy anything important.
00:07:54.000 Put him on some board.
00:07:55.000 Put him on some commission.
00:07:57.000 But to President Trump's enormous credit.
00:08:00.000 President Trump, I don't think has received the credit.
00:08:03.000 That he deserves here.
00:08:05.000 He tuned all of that out and said, wait a second.
00:08:10.000 I ran on a set of promises.
00:08:12.000 I ran on this idea of making America healthy again.
00:08:16.000 Bobby was very good to us and good to our campaign.
00:08:19.000 We're going to go for it.
00:08:20.000 We're going to go for the entire program.
00:08:24.000 There is so much pressure.
00:08:27.000 For him not to put Bobby Kennedy to HHS. Oh, he can't be confirmed.
00:08:31.000 Oh, he can't get through a hearing.
00:08:34.000 He's anti-vaccine.
00:08:38.000 So many people would tell me, this is the only cabinet official I care about.
00:08:42.000 Please, please put Bobby Kennedy in.
00:08:44.000 And when you have kids, you know that they're constantly being poisoned by red dye 42 and blue this.
00:08:51.000 And President Trump listened to his gut and he...
00:08:55.000 Muted all of the nonsense from the big pharma companies and trusted his political instincts.
00:09:04.000 What started on August 23rd, which really was, by the way, a development of a reckoning for the lockdowns, a development of the reckoning for Anthony Fauci, has now been completed in a triumph today.
00:09:18.000 And all of you should rejoice and say thank you, God, with delight, because it just keeps getting better.
00:09:25.000 As of this time right now, high noon on the East Coast, Bobby Kennedy is the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
00:09:37.000 He's in charge of the largest branch of the federal government by budgetary measure.
00:09:42.000 He has the biggest budget at his disposal.
00:09:45.000 And it is now a day of reckoning for the food companies that are poisoning our kids, for the pharma companies that have been lying to us.
00:09:54.000 And he is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
00:09:59.000 President Trump deserves the credit.
00:10:01.000 And now Bobby Kennedy has the baton to make America healthy again, to make our kids healthy again.
00:10:07.000 Praise the Lord.
00:10:11.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:10:12.000 You just saw it.
00:10:13.000 The privileged get tax pardons while hardworking Americans do not.
00:10:17.000 The IRS just stepped up enforcement.
00:10:19.000 If you owe back taxes or have unfilled returns, do not wait for the IRS letter to act.
00:10:24.000 Waiting to get caught makes you look like a tax evader and it will not end well.
00:10:28.000 Getting ahead of this is the smart move, but never, never contact the IRS alone.
00:10:32.000 Turn it over to Tax Network USA. Why?
00:10:35.000 Because not all tax resolution companies are the same.
00:10:38.000 First, Tax Network USA has a strong relationship with the IRS. And third, their genius strategies are designed to quickly settle your tax problems in your favor.
00:10:53.000 Whether you owe $10,000 or $10 million, their attorneys and negotiators have resolved $1 billion in tax debt.
00:10:58.000 I trust Tax Network USA. Call and talk with one of their strategists.
00:11:02.000 It's free.
00:11:03.000 Stop looking over your shoulder and put the IRS troubles behind you.
00:11:06.000 Call 800-780-8888 or go to tnusa.com slash charlie.
00:11:10.000 I don't know if there's been a good piece of music written in the last 10 years.
00:11:16.000 Prove me wrong.
00:11:17.000 Can someone tell me there's been a good piece of music written in the last 10 years?
00:11:20.000 What is it?
00:11:20.000 And send it to me.
00:11:21.000 Nope.
00:11:22.000 No country.
00:11:23.000 Country's not allowed.
00:11:23.000 Oh, Blake agrees.
00:11:25.000 Okay.
00:11:25.000 He does agree.
00:11:26.000 That's good.
00:11:26.000 Usually Blake will come in with some sort of contrarian take.
00:11:30.000 No, actually, XYZ is good.
00:11:32.000 No, I just, I don't think that they're, you know what?
00:11:34.000 Actually, I stand corrected.
00:11:36.000 Nope.
00:11:37.000 You're right.
00:11:38.000 I actually do think there's a good piece of music that's been written.
00:11:41.000 I think that song that they were singing about Elon Musk.
00:11:45.000 Where is it?
00:11:45.000 We've got to play it again.
00:11:46.000 Where is the new Democrat anthem?
00:11:48.000 Where is my Pavarotti?
00:11:50.000 We've got to play it again.
00:11:52.000 The Whitney Houston.
00:11:54.000 132. This is actually the best song of the decade.
00:11:56.000 Play cut 132. Okay, so I do stand corrected.
00:12:20.000 That is a good piece of music.
00:12:22.000 Actually, it's an old communist song with the lyrics repurposed.
00:12:26.000 So that's your little tidbit for the day.
00:12:29.000 You're seeing a transformation, and the opposition is not there.
00:12:34.000 They don't know which front to fight on.
00:12:37.000 This maximalist approach, by the way, it's only going to get even more serious for the Democrats.
00:12:42.000 Look at how much President Trump is doing.
00:12:44.000 Look how much he is getting done without his cabinet.
00:12:49.000 His team is only multiplying and increasing, and to use maybe a football analogy, it's as if he's just going to keep on subbing in new defense alignment.
00:12:59.000 Fresh legs.
00:13:00.000 Boom, Brooke Rollins is confirmed.
00:13:03.000 Boom, we got Kelly Loeffler coming in.
00:13:05.000 Boom, we got Linda McMahon.
00:13:07.000 We got every single one of these cabinet officials that are coming in.
00:13:11.000 And all of these old plays, the Democrats are saying, well, it's a constitutional crisis.
00:13:16.000 And by the way, this is all without cash.
00:13:19.000 And we have a whole team that is coming in to the lower level.
00:13:23.000 We got deputies coming.
00:13:25.000 We got interim directors coming.
00:13:27.000 This is all just filling out the top.
00:13:31.000 Wait till we start to really plug and play and get these changemakers.
00:13:35.000 And I could tell you, the Trump team, the personnel office, wait till you see some of these killers that are coming in.
00:13:41.000 Not all this stuff necessarily gets all the headlines, but this is the stuff that comes and affects your life on a daily basis.
00:13:46.000 That executes the stuff that President Trump wants to do.
00:13:49.000 On energy, on border, immigration, speech, trade.
00:13:52.000 So the Democrats have tried to put up this fight.
00:13:55.000 That's the best they got.
00:13:56.000 They're screaming into the wind with this new song of theirs.
00:14:00.000 I cannot put into words the profundity of Bobby Kennedy being HHS secretary.
00:14:07.000 We have a whole conversation coming up with Alex Clark on this.
00:14:10.000 It's massive.
00:14:11.000 It's major.
00:14:13.000 It's going to change the Republican Party permanently for the good.
00:14:16.000 And, you know, people always say, well, how do we win over women?
00:14:18.000 This is how you win over women, by making America healthy again.
00:14:23.000 Meanwhile, Democrats, they're putting up advertisements saying they want to kill Elon Musk.
00:14:27.000 It's not a joke.
00:14:29.000 This is Democrat Representative Robert Garcia, calls Elon Musk a bad name, and then calls for actual weapons to be used against Elon Musk and Doge.
00:14:39.000 This is all they have, is violence.
00:14:41.000 At the core of the left, at the core of a liberal, is someone that would use the sword if they had it.
00:14:47.000 They are very violent people at their core.
00:14:50.000 They always have them.
00:14:53.000 They can't debate.
00:14:54.000 They can't have conversation.
00:14:55.000 So they'll resort.
00:14:57.000 To these tactics.
00:14:58.000 And of course, this is cliche, but it's worth doing before I play cut 146. Imagine there was a billboard in downtown D.C. Help eliminate XYZ, Tony Blinken.
00:15:11.000 They lost their mind over a noose on January 6th that wasn't used or going to be used.
00:15:20.000 They lost their mind over it.
00:15:22.000 You shouldn't be surprised that Trump was nearly killed.
00:15:25.000 Indicted twice.
00:15:26.000 Actually indicted four times.
00:15:27.000 700 years in prison.
00:15:28.000 They're going to do everything they possibly can to try to murder this movement because they can't beat us.
00:15:32.000 So they're going to try to take weapons.
00:15:34.000 And no, we're very aware of that.
00:15:36.000 I'm aware of it.
00:15:36.000 We have to have full-time security.
00:15:37.000 This is not a joke.
00:15:38.000 This is who these people are.
00:15:40.000 Playcut 146. I want to hear why, but do you think that calling Elon Musk a d*** is effective messaging?
00:15:50.000 For confronting what is a potentially irreversible transformation of the U.S. government.
00:15:57.000 Well, he is an a**hole, and I think he's also harming the American public in an enormous way.
00:16:02.000 And what I think is really important, and what the American public want, is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight.
00:16:09.000 This is an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country.
00:16:14.000 Yeah, I mean, they want this to be settled in the streets, with Antifa.
00:16:18.000 Just trying to rile people up.
00:16:19.000 They want us murdered.
00:16:20.000 They want us killed.
00:16:21.000 That's why a lot of them celebrated Donald Trump getting shot, and they lamented that it wasn't successful.
00:16:25.000 This is everything for them.
00:16:27.000 We're going after the core of their meaning, and we're just getting started.

00:17:42.000 Finally, vindication for me.
00:17:44.000 People thought I was nuts two years ago being like, hey, the conservative movement needs to be talking about health.
00:17:48.000 People were like, that's a huge distraction and a waste of time.
00:17:51.000 Now look where we are.
00:17:52.000 And you trusted the process.
00:17:55.000 I remember you'd be like, he better pick Bobby Fowler.
00:17:58.000 Just trust that President Trump deserves a lot of credit.
00:18:00.000 Does he not?
00:18:01.000 He deserves a ton of credit.
00:18:02.000 I'm so thankful for him.
00:18:04.000 Everything that I've been watching unfold from Bobby Kennedy now being confirmed officially to Doge, it's like I'm living in a political dream.
00:18:14.000 This is like what we've talked about for years of like, oh, wouldn't it be great if America could just fill in the blank, you know, and that's all happening now with President Trump.
00:18:23.000 And I think it's very obvious, like he knows, and I think I believe he said this.
00:18:27.000 We have four years and that's just nothing in political time.
00:18:32.000 Like for all the things that we need to accomplish to get this country right on track, we have to get started day one immediately.
00:18:38.000 Everything that we can do, let's slam it all in.
00:18:41.000 Because four years really isn't a lot of time in the grand scheme of things.
00:18:43.000 And this is it.
00:18:44.000 This is our one chance.
00:18:45.000 And he is really taking seriously the promises made on the campaign.
00:18:49.000 What does the Bobby Kennedy, now confirmation, he is now HHS director.
00:18:54.000 That's amazing.
00:18:55.000 It's no more like we've got to get him through.
00:18:56.000 It's done.
00:18:57.000 What does that mean for the Republican Party, the conservative movement?
00:19:01.000 And then we'll get into health in general.
00:19:03.000 But what does it mean?
00:19:05.000 For conservatives.
00:19:06.000 Well, for conservatives, this is the biggest opportunity we've ever had when it comes to women voters.
00:19:11.000 So we already saw, was it eight points went up in the election for women for Trump?
00:19:15.000 So that was a massive gain.
00:19:17.000 I attribute a ton of that to the Maha movement and the partnership with Bobby Kennedy.
00:19:22.000 And so what we have here is this opportunity to, we're dating them and we want to court them and make this a really long-term relationship with the Republican Party.
00:19:31.000 So what we want to be doing is saying, OK, so you were willing to vote Republican based on this issue in 2024.
00:19:37.000 How can we keep you in 2028?
00:19:39.000 How can we keep you beyond that?
00:19:41.000 So we want to make sure that we're not forgetting these new female voters and that we are showing them like, hey, we mean what we say.
00:19:47.000 We're going to continue to prioritize the health issue in America because what a lot of people may not realize is that there are plans, because I'm in talks with the Maha Coalition.
00:19:56.000 There are plans.
00:19:57.000 Maha will transcend MAGA. So when President Trump is not in office anymore, Maha isn't just going to stop.
00:20:03.000 This is going to continue throughout multiple presidential administrations.
00:20:07.000 We will keep fighting for these issues, no matter who is president, no matter what party is in the White House.
00:20:12.000 So this is just the beginning of a very, very long, exciting road ahead to completely transform chronic disease in America.
00:20:20.000 And I wish that Democrats would have gotten on board.
00:20:23.000 He did not get a single Democrat vote.
00:20:25.000 Think about that.
00:20:26.000 Kennedy did not get a single Democrat vote.
00:20:29.000 To become HHS secretary.
00:20:30.000 And here's what's even crazier, is that you have this idiot, Senator Chuck Schumer, saying, well, you know, it's really a shame that Bobby Kennedy will be the only person ahead of HHS who has no pharmaceutical background.
00:20:44.000 All the other people had backgrounds in pharmaceuticals and were pharmaceutical, you know, executives or whatever.
00:20:50.000 Yes, yes.
00:20:51.000 And he said, that's such a shame.
00:20:52.000 You know, this is the first time that that hasn't happened.
00:20:54.000 That is...
00:20:55.000 That's the point.
00:20:55.000 That is exactly why we wanted Bobby Kennedy.
00:20:58.000 That shouldn't be happening.
00:20:59.000 The person who is in charge of these agencies shouldn't have ties into these different industries that we're supposed to be regulating.
00:21:07.000 So that's a huge problem, and that's exactly why Bobby Kennedy needed to get confirmed.
00:21:11.000 So, Les, on the political side, now what would you say these are the five things you want to see done?
00:21:17.000 Not just talked about, but actually substantively policy agenda done.
00:21:22.000 Okay, well, five things I would say.
00:21:24.000 One, we have to get the pharmaceutical ads off the air in America.
00:21:27.000 Totally agree.
00:21:27.000 Only America and New Zealand are still doing this.
00:21:30.000 Other countries think this is crazy.
00:21:32.000 And the reason is a lot of people think, well, we do that so that we see the ad and then we go to our doctor, we go to our physician, we say, oh, you know, I saw this ad for Ozempic, I'd like to take it.
00:21:40.000 That's actually not what's going on.
00:21:42.000 Nobody is watching commercials on TV for pharmaceuticals and then going to their doctor and requesting it.
00:21:47.000 You know, hardly anyone.
00:21:48.000 What's really going on is they are buying the power to control what news agencies are reporting on.
00:21:53.000 So that is why during the pandemic, you didn't see any other opinions on the COVID vaccine.
00:21:59.000 It's because every single broadcast was then brought to you by Pfizer.
00:22:01.000 So that's a problem.
00:22:03.000 We can't have that.
00:22:04.000 So that has to has to be done.
00:22:06.000 The other thing is, which I believe is going to happen.
00:22:09.000 This is actually going to be one of the first initiatives this year is we're going to transform school lunches.
00:22:14.000 We're going to get ultra processed food completely out of school lunches.
00:22:17.000 You cannot be feeding kids artificial dyes, an unbelievable amount of sugar and all of these different ingredients that we know causes behavioral issues.
00:22:28.000 In adverse health outcomes and then wonder why they can't sit still.
00:22:31.000 So we have to transform that.
00:22:33.000 I believe that's going to be one of the first things that happens.
00:22:35.000 We also, which we're seeing now, 23 states as of recently have either taken initiatives to pass bills for fixing their school lunches or fixing the corruption on the SNAP programs for their states.
00:22:47.000 Which is food stamps, yeah.
00:22:48.000 Yeah, so the food stamps were subsidizing and incentivizing people, especially poor groups, to be getting things like soda, cheap.
00:22:57.000 So we're literally funding the obesity epidemic.
00:23:00.000 And then we're going through and saying, oh, we have a solution.
00:23:02.000 That will be Ozempic.
00:23:04.000 You know, we had that ad during the Super Bowl.
00:23:07.000 They were using a bunch of Maha lingo.
00:23:10.000 Him and hers.
00:23:11.000 Yes.
00:23:11.000 Using Maha lingo to basically push an Ozempic-like drug.
00:23:15.000 It was a weight loss drug.
00:23:17.000 Delivered to your doorstep.
00:23:19.000 You have to be very careful now.
00:23:20.000 There are going to be people that are not with us that are going to be using Maha-type wording and verbiage to trick you into buying their drugs, so just be wary of that.
00:23:30.000 Okay, how many things was that?
00:23:31.000 Two, three, the subsidizing food.
00:23:35.000 You know, I'd love to see rigorous testing done on the childhood vaccine schedule.
00:23:40.000 This is super important to me.
00:23:42.000 I don't know if you realize this, Charlie, but actually this is really scary.
00:23:45.000 So when people say, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:23:46.000 We really go through a lot of rigorous testing for every single vaccine recommended on the childhood schedule.
00:23:53.000 So the COVID-19 vaccine, which I think everybody basically agrees like, ooh, that was super sketchy.
00:23:59.000 It got through really fast.
00:24:01.000 The COVID-19 vaccine, and I can send you and producer Andrew data on this if you want to share it, was actually the most rigorously tested vaccine we've ever created.
00:24:10.000 The COVID vaccine.
00:24:12.000 So that should really terrify Americans right there that tells you something's not right.
00:24:16.000 So I just want to reiterate, Bobby Kennedy is not getting in and banning vaccines.
00:24:20.000 He's actually just saying we want to test these rigorously to make sure that everything that is on this recommended schedule should be there and that parents have informed consent when they're making these decisions.
00:24:30.000 Nobody's taking away your right to make decisions.
00:24:32.000 In fact, right now, parents have really no right to make true informed decisions because if they ask any questions about the childhood vaccine, Most pediatrician offices across America, they're getting kicked out for asking those questions and saying they're not allowed to be patients there.
00:24:47.000 So that's something that's super important to me.
00:24:50.000 Obviously, I care a lot about the chemicals that are being sprayed on our crops, in our air.
00:24:55.000 Geoengineering is real.
00:24:56.000 They've testified about it at the UN. So that's a huge concern.
00:25:00.000 We know that that's going on.
00:25:02.000 So chemicals also in our water.
00:25:04.000 Now, I don't know if you know anything about this, but the one thing that the Biden administration did that I agreed with right before getting out of office was he started taking a bunch of things out of tap water.
00:25:16.000 And then I just saw news that President Trump was maybe thinking of reversing that decision, which I would disagree with.
00:25:21.000 And I hope that we can influence him to not.
00:25:23.000 Is this the fluoride thing?
00:25:24.000 Yes.
00:25:25.000 And PFAS and different things in our drinking water.
00:25:28.000 So what is the argument pro-fluoride?
00:25:30.000 What is it?
00:25:30.000 They say it's something with teeth or something, right?
00:25:33.000 I don't know.
00:25:34.000 But the thing is, is that...
00:25:35.000 actually was an Obama-appointed judge in August, I believe, so only a few months ago, who had just admitted like, okay, yeah, we are seeing lowered IQ rates in children due to fluoride exposure.
00:25:45.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk, you've heard me talk about Relief Factor and how so many people enjoy a better, more pain-free life because of it.

00:26:46.000 That is relieffactor.com.
00:26:50.000 The pharmaceutical advertisement also, as you mentioned, you mentioned this briefly, I think could win over President Trump.
00:26:57.000 It's a subsidy of the news networks that hate him.
00:27:00.000 Meaning, it's a cash flow for these major companies, CNN, NBC. They receive billions of dollars.
00:27:09.000 And these ads aren't even good.
00:27:11.000 They don't perform.
00:27:12.000 They're not even well produced.
00:27:14.000 They list all the side effects on here.
00:27:16.000 I was watching the Bills-Chiefs game.
00:27:18.000 Not the Super Bowl, but the Bills-Chiefs game a couple weeks ago.
00:27:20.000 And I was texting my team.
00:27:21.000 Literally, I was watching this great football game.
00:27:24.000 I was having a great time.
00:27:25.000 And then all of a sudden, this ad pops up.
00:27:27.000 And they say...
00:27:28.000 You know, you might die or, you know, people you know might...
00:27:31.000 I mean, like all the disclaimers on this.
00:27:34.000 And I think it could be done just through a regulatory change through FDA. I don't even know if it requires Congress.
00:27:39.000 But aren't we like the only country in the world that allows pharmaceutical companies to advertise?
00:27:44.000 Us in New Zealand.
00:27:45.000 That's it.
00:27:46.000 That's it.
00:27:47.000 So everybody else understands that this is corrupt.
00:27:49.000 It's not fair.
00:27:50.000 It rigs the system.
00:27:51.000 And somehow America is behind.
00:27:53.000 So this is really exciting because what we're seeing here is a...
00:27:57.000 It's a peaceful, yet a powerful political revolution.
00:28:01.000 That's what we are witnessing.
00:28:03.000 And for people that, I don't know how you could still be a doubter, but if you are still a doubter that President Trump didn't mean what he said, let me just remind everybody, I like to say this to the people that really don't like him, and they like to bring up things like his ego.
00:28:14.000 Okay, let's say, let's say, President Trump, you know, has a little bit of an ego.
00:28:19.000 With that being said, then don't you think he has a reason then to make sure that we can prove within two years that we have reversed the chronic disease epidemic because the media outlets, the history books, will be required to write glorifying headlines about him, positive headlines.
00:28:35.000 And he loves that and he wants that.
00:28:37.000 So if anybody is motivated due to ego issues, President Trump, I mean, that's a good thing for us, that he wants to have positive things written about him so he's going to make sure that Bobby Kennedy gets it done and he's going to support him.
00:28:48.000 One of my passionate ones on the list is I think if you can't pick every public health fight, but I think there's one thing that connects to like 15 problems.
00:28:57.000 I want you to try to guess what it is.
00:28:59.000 Try to guess.
00:29:00.000 Okay, I'm thinking.
00:29:01.000 Not now.
00:29:01.000 Think about it.
00:29:03.000 And by the way, just so we're clear, I would love to go back to how fast food was in the 60s and 70s.
00:29:08.000 Beef tallow, no seed oils, no processed foods.
00:29:12.000 Instead, it's almost poison.
00:29:16.000 It is poison.
00:29:18.000 Plevicto involves contact with radioactivity, which may increase the risk for cancer and cause fetal harm.
00:29:23.000 Drink plenty of fluids, urinate often, use contraception, and talk to your doctor about ways to reduce the risk of exposing others to radiation during and after treatment.
00:29:30.000 Plevicto can cause low levels of blood cell counts, kidney problems, and infertility.
00:29:34.000 Tell your doctor if you have weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, bleeding or bruising more easily, an infection or changes in urination.
00:29:41.000 Side effects include tiredness, dry mouth, nausea, appetite loss, and constipation.
00:29:46.000 The entire ad is a disclaimer.
00:29:48.000 You might die.
00:29:49.000 People you know might die.
00:29:51.000 You also might die the worst possible death imaginable.
00:29:53.000 I can't believe this is real.
00:29:55.000 Soon it will not be.
00:29:56.000 This will be a thing of the past.
00:29:58.000 And so much of this stuff is unnecessary to take in the first place.
00:30:03.000 The chronic disease problem is largely based on diet and activity.
00:30:09.000 And then Alex is going to guess what I think is the original sin of most of our health problems.
00:30:15.000 I think there's one thing that is an original sin.
00:30:18.000 Now there's other things as well, but I mean there's one thing that connects to all the others.
00:30:22.000 Maha expert Alex, what do you think?
00:30:23.000 I think it is.
00:30:24.000 I'm wondering if it is the mass production of seed oils and adding that to our food supply.
00:30:29.000 It's close, but no.
00:30:29.000 It's insulin resistance.
00:30:31.000 Insulin resistance.
00:30:33.000 I've done a lot of thinking about this.
00:30:35.000 Half of teenagers now have diabetes.
00:30:37.000 Exactly.
00:30:38.000 So Dr. Jordan Peterson agrees with me.
00:30:40.000 So insulin resistance is where your body has...
00:30:43.000 Low diet, low activity, but basically it's excess carbohydrates.
00:30:46.000 So if you want to go a step further, we are eating way too much carbohydrates in our diet.
00:30:52.000 And Blake will agree at this.
00:30:54.000 We worship at the altar of the corn god.
00:30:56.000 We have highly processed carbohydrates, and we do not need as much carbohydrates as we are eating.
00:31:01.000 So I eat ketogenic.
00:31:02.000 I almost have no carbs, all good fats, lean proteins.
00:31:05.000 As you know, there's three types of foods, proteins, carbs, and fats.
00:31:08.000 You only need two.
00:31:09.000 We have all three, and we actually have way too much of one that we don't need.
00:31:12.000 You only need fats and proteins to live.
00:31:14.000 But if you don't have proteins, you die.
00:31:15.000 And if you don't have fats, you die.
00:31:16.000 And if only carbohydrates, it's not going to be sufficient.
00:31:18.000 Now listen, my audience is going to be gasping and pearl clutching when they find out that Charlie just told me before coming on the air that he's now anti-dairy, so he's not drinking any dairy, so you're not on my raw milk train.
00:31:29.000 No, no, no, I'm not on the raw milk train.
00:31:30.000 I'm sorry.
00:31:31.000 It's nothing against you, but I'm just saying, I'm not, I don't think dairy, I think, first of all, I'm a big anti-inflammation guy, so I think...
00:31:42.000 You'll agree with this.
00:31:43.000 We're hyper-inflamed in the West.
00:31:45.000 Yes.
00:31:45.000 Our brains are inflamed.
00:31:46.000 We're sluggish.
00:31:47.000 So I got on this super anti-inflammation kick, and dairy does inflame.
00:31:51.000 It definitionally inflames.
00:31:52.000 And he could have his own particular food irritant.
00:31:56.000 Everyone do what's right for you, but don't eat too many carbohydrates.
00:32:00.000 I could prescriptively put that across the board.
00:32:03.000 So insulin resistance, what does that lead to?
00:32:06.000 Type 2 diabetes.
00:32:07.000 It leads to massive obesity.
00:32:09.000 It leads to blood pressure problems, cancers.
00:32:12.000 Cancer at its core is a metabolic dysfunction.
00:32:18.000 Correct.
00:32:19.000 Yeah.
00:32:19.000 So this is what's really shocking.
00:32:20.000 I mean, this is part of my entire journey into the Maha space is understanding, especially with my own dad dying of cancer, is understanding, thank you, that cancer...
00:32:31.000 Is preventative.
00:32:32.000 We actually do have the cure for cancer.
00:32:35.000 We have all of the information that we already need at our fingertips.
00:32:37.000 It has to do with diet.
00:32:39.000 It has to do with lifestyle.
00:32:41.000 Basically everything that we have abandoned.
00:32:44.000 I will agree with this part.
00:32:45.000 I wouldn't use the word cure because that's a big C word.
00:32:47.000 We do know that glucose feeds cancer cells.
00:32:50.000 That we do know.
00:32:51.000 And we do know that when somebody has a tumor, what do you tell them to do?
00:32:55.000 Stop eating sugar.
00:32:56.000 That's like the first thing that we say, right?
00:32:58.000 So we also know that cancer is largely metabolic dysfunction.
00:33:02.000 And yeah, I mean, also the people that have tumors that eat ketogenically.
00:33:08.000 Oh yeah.
00:33:09.000 Do a lot better.
00:33:09.000 So here's something interesting.
00:33:10.000 And also if they have.
00:33:11.000 So my dad, my dad with his brain cancer, when I told him, he also had heart failure.
00:33:18.000 And when I told him to go to the nutritionist at the hospital and tell him, hey, my daughter's suggesting I do keto diet, the nutritionist said, oh no, sir, that's terrible.
00:33:26.000 You can't be doing that.
00:33:27.000 That's not good for your heart.
00:33:28.000 So I said, dad, go back and ask that kid where he went to nutrition school.
00:33:32.000 Find out who was creating the curriculum for his nutrition school.
00:33:35.000 You don't need to go to nutrition school.
00:33:38.000 But it's like, this is the absurd stuff.
00:33:40.000 Actually, tonight we have a new episode in honor of Valentine's Day on Culture Apothecary where I'm interviewing a doctor who reversed his heart disease and plaque in his leg.
00:33:49.000 And when he was in the hospital, he had a Widowmaker heart attack at 34 years old, was in the hospital.
00:33:55.000 They immediately wanted to put him on like 9 to 12 different prescriptions, didn't want to tell him why.
00:34:00.000 It was the same amount of prescriptions for every patient, didn't individually look at each patient when he said, hey, what about magnesium?
00:34:06.000 because that would be good for what he had going on.
00:34:08.000 They were like, oh, I don't know anything about that.
00:34:10.000 They were having him eat Fig Newtons and all this ultra-processed food.
00:34:13.000 I mean, 70% of the American diet now is ultra-processed food.
00:34:17.000 But he ended up...
00:34:19.000 Love it.
00:34:30.000 Be excited about this because we were narrowly very close at looking at a future where our kids, it was going to actually be impossible for them to find somebody to marry who didn't have autism.
00:34:40.000 We're already at 1 in 36 children.
00:34:43.000 Actually, it might be lower than that.
00:34:44.000 1 in 36 children being diagnosed with autism in 15, 20 years.
00:34:49.000 All of them would have autism.
00:34:50.000 So hopefully we're going to see a change right now with this RFK confirmation.
