00:00:00.000Hey, everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show, specialists, experts.
00:00:05.000What do those people have to do with totalitarianism?
00:00:08.000We explore that kind of piggybacking off of the short window of revelation that Katanji Brown Jackson opened with her inability to answer a basic question about biology.
00:00:21.000We build out that theme throughout this hour, a deep episode as far as kind of going diving deep into the ideas behind what's happening in our country.
00:00:28.000I think you'll really enjoy it and hopefully learn something because I certainly did preparing for it.

00:02:21.000By now, you've probably heard the back and forth between Katanji Brown Jackson and Marsha Blackburn.
00:02:28.000We went into this in great detail yesterday and talked about how Katanji Brown Jackson was unable to answer a very basic question.
00:02:37.000She was not able to answer the question of what is a woman.
00:02:41.000Now, Katanji Brown Jackson, of course, has been mocked openly by almost every major conservative media outlet.
00:02:48.000You wouldn't even know she said this if you looked at CNN or the New York Times.
00:02:53.000The only way they describe it is right-wingers pounce on Katanji Brown Jackson to be unable to answer question or to yielding to experts.
00:03:03.000And it kind of struck me as very interesting the way that she answered this question.
00:03:08.000And I listened to this tape over and over again.
00:03:10.000And first of all, Katanji Brown Jackson has a smug attitude.
00:03:14.000She has a contempt for the entire process.
00:03:16.000She feels entitled to be the next Supreme Court justice.
00:03:21.000You get to see in her mannerisms, the way she's answering questions.
00:03:25.000She does not have any, I don't think she has any humility that prior nominees have had, such as Amy Coney Barrett, who I thought was magnanimous and charming.
00:03:35.000Katanji Brown Jackson has no such tone in how she's approaching this.
00:03:40.000But I want you to re-listen to this tape because I think it's very telling.
00:03:43.000In fact, it's a unique window into how Katangi Brown Jackson and the upcoming CRT regime or the new statists, if you will, that we are going to be battling for the rest of my life, how they view the world.
00:04:00.000It's a window into who they think should actually have the power and why they think you should have almost none.
00:04:52.000What an opportunity for Katangi Brown Jackson to have had a viral moment that might have had Republicans vote for her, say, excuse me, I'm a woman.
00:05:03.000You know what a woman is, Marsha Blackburn.
00:05:05.000Instead, she almost says, no, no, I can't answer that because she knew, of course, the alphabet mafia would come after her.
00:05:11.000But the way she answered it, though, was more than just I can't, which is I'm not the specialist here.
00:05:19.000I'm just a judge trying to be on the Supreme Court.
00:05:22.000And that ties into a theme that I want to make sure we drive home today.
00:05:28.000I want to make sure that this is properly described because it's very important that we understand what we're up against.
00:05:37.000You see, statists, people that want bigger government, Marxists, socialists, people that are running the inner workings of the growing regime, they need specialists.
00:05:55.000They need to yield their control or yield control of society to a collection of people that are hyper-specialized.
00:06:06.000State control of society requires specialists.
00:06:10.000Now, this trend started with what we know as the progressive era or progressivism.
00:06:16.000In particular, it was because of a president who was president of first of Princeton University, then governor of New Jersey, who became president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson.
00:06:26.000Woodrow Wilson famously attacked the Declaration of Independence, was the first president to say that we need to move on from the founding ideals.
00:06:35.000He said that government must adjust to the times that we are in.
00:06:40.000And in order to do so, we need massive bureaucracies of people that are highly technical and specialized to be able to tell people what to do and to be able to usher in the inevitable utopia.
00:06:56.000Everything is around trying to bring heaven on earth.
00:07:01.000So when she says, I'm not a biologist, what she's really saying is, look, I don't believe unless you have a PhD in biology, you should be able to answer the most simple questions that a citizen should be able to know.
00:07:18.000You see, statists, people who want stronger government and more corporate control, by the way, the same sort of impulse, the same sort of people that want Google to run the country, the same people that want the IRS to run the country, they do not want the common man to be whole or independent.
00:07:37.000We talk frequently on this program for the need for the revival of self-government and the rejection of technocrats.
00:07:46.000Self-government requires a people who can change attire, grow their own food, know the very basics about their country, fix a leaky roof, and raise children.
00:08:02.000Self-government is not possible if the common man is not able to be self-reliant.
00:08:11.000That's not to say that there shouldn't be some form of assistance at times from local communities, that the government should do nothing.
00:08:19.000But as the common man has become more reliant on others, more reliant on Mr. Google, Mr. Uber, more reliant on an expert or a specialist, it by definition makes the country less free and it makes you less powerful.
00:08:40.000As America has focused more on the specialists, like Katanji Brown Jackson has said, we need biologists to answer simple questions.
00:08:48.000That is a window into actually how they want the entire country to operate, that you might not be able to answer simple questions because you might not have a PhD from Cal Berkeley in biology.
00:09:02.000We're living through one huge logical fallacy.
00:09:07.000And of course, Katanji Brown Jackson openly participates in it, which is an argument from authority.
00:09:17.000It's, quote, a formal fallacy in which it is argued that because a perceived authority figure believes a certain proposition to be true, that proposition must therefore be true.
00:09:28.000This is one of the first things you learn in a logic class, that just because someone who's in a position of authority, like a biologist, says something, therefore it must be true.
00:09:49.000Go read some of the biological literature coming out of these universities.
00:09:53.000Biologists that are supposed to believe in anchored reality are the ones actually publishing the garbage that are saying that men and women are not tied to biological reality.
00:10:05.000Now, that's not every biologist, but it is the institution of the major biology, let's say, communities in America.
00:10:16.000This is all in an attempt to try and weaken and quiet the common man.
00:10:24.000For those of you that are the common man, the plumber, the welder, the electrician, the grandparent, the police officer, they don't want you to feel empowered.
00:12:18.000That's not my field of study, of course, where it kind of is in your field because you're in a position that is going to be interpreting the law of how it applies to citizens and people.
00:12:30.000And if you can't analyze the differences between a man or a woman, well, that's pretty telling.
00:12:38.000And it's also really legally compromising, by the way, because you're going to be talking about women's suffrage cases, Civil Rights Act cases.
00:12:46.000You're going to be talking about affirmative action cases.
00:12:49.000You're going to be talking about all sorts of different types of cases.
00:12:52.000And if she can't tell the difference between a man and a woman, or she won't tell us that, well, then she will not be able to ever talk about equal protection or a quote right of a woman to choose.
00:13:05.000And the whole thing is just so hilariously ironic because Biden says, I want to put a woman on the Supreme Court, black woman on the Supreme Court, and that woman doesn't even know what a woman is.
00:13:16.000But it goes back to a theme that Woodrow Wilson put forward.
00:13:19.000If you want to kind of start the clock, the 16 minutes type clock of how America got to where we are today, it started bubbling up before Wilson, but Wilson really was the first American president to articulate from an academic perspective first, and then from a presidential perspective, that the founding and the structure of the country itself was flawed.
00:13:46.000Woodrow Wilson really came up with the idea of what we now know as the civil service or the bureaucrat.
00:13:53.000Now, bureaucrat comes from a French term that means desk worker or paper worker.
00:14:22.000Once a government agency is established, there really is no getting rid of it.
00:14:27.000From the FDA to the CDC, to the IRS, to all of the agencies, hundreds and hundreds of agencies, this fourth branch of government is supposed to be run by specialists.
00:14:42.000Woodrow Wilson envisioned the administrative state, this fourth branch of government, as the following: a body of thoroughly trained officials serving during good behavior.
00:14:54.000Wilson wanted well-educated, committed bodies of civil servants who advanced due to merit and were put in place due to their expertise.
00:15:05.000So when Katangi Brown Jackson says, well, look, I'm not a biologist, what she's really saying is I know the way the administrative state is supposed to be structured.
00:15:14.000I'm supposed to be the automaton that just answers why everything is racist.
00:15:22.000The automaton that's supposed to parrot the regime talking points when it comes to biology is someone that might have a PhD in there, which, of course, is arguing from authority.
00:15:33.000This is an elite-based system that is foundationally rooted in arrogance, not humility.
00:15:42.000You see, they need this sort of technocratic infrastructure to pave the way for the great reset.
00:15:50.000They need compliance by the common man muscular class.
00:15:54.000They don't want you to be able to know how to change attire, to be able to recite your rights.
00:16:01.000They do not want you to be able to know the difference between Madison, Jefferson, Washington, and Jay.
00:16:07.000They don't want you to be able to grow your own food.
00:16:10.000You see, all these things play into a pattern of independence.
00:16:16.000When you are independent and you're not yielding to experts, when you are independent and you're not always looking at specialists, when you are independent, then you're far harder to control.
00:16:31.000You see, our school system has become very specialized in the last 20 or 30 years.
00:16:37.000Now, there are some positives to that sort of specialization, but it also comes at a cost.
00:16:42.000When you specialize and you put a fourth grader, the Germans are most famous for this, fourth grader on a track, you're going to be a welder, you're going to be a mechanic, you're going to be a lawyer, you're going to be an accountant.
00:16:52.000That's fine if you don't want to create full human beings.
00:16:56.000Now, the specialization is probably better than exposing them to transgender woke ideology at third grade.
00:17:04.000It's probably better to have them know how to put together a car than be able to recite the 500 different types of genders that there are.
00:17:13.000But you see, fully empowered and fully informed citizens are the greatest threat to tyranny.
00:17:21.000And programming you to always look to specialists is a form of social control to make you more subservient to the state and the power centers.
00:17:36.000Big tech is monitoring, censoring, mining, and selling your online information.
00:17:43.000100% U.S. programmed, owned, and operated.
00:17:46.000Squadpod is a convenient, all-in-one application supporting your private connection with others of your choice.

00:18:38.000I want to give a thank you to the wonderful Dan Bongino, who is helping lead a movement to tweet out exactly what I tweeted in an attempt to try to see if Twitter is going to enforce against it.
00:19:02.000And we stood by Dan when he got booted from YouTube.
00:19:06.000Now he's on rumble.com, R-U-M-B-L-E.com.
00:19:09.000So fully empowered citizens are a threat to despotism.
00:19:15.000The common middle class worker, the muscular class, right now they want that person to feel intimidated, alone, unclear about what's going on, and afraid.
00:19:29.000We must understand that mass government and corporate control can only occur to a people who first can't control themselves.
00:19:38.000When people can't control themselves, they become a lot easier to control.
00:19:43.000So instead of having our society develop a full human being, we have a society that weakens the resolve that dilutes the ability of the individual to flourish and forces you to be subservient to some form of skilled specialist.
00:20:04.000Now, there's no better clip to kind of show this in action than an unnamed woman, I don't know who this is, who was at the swim meet of William Thomas, otherwise known as Leah Thomas, who she basically was being filmed, I don't know by whom, and said, I am a woman, that is not a woman, that is not a woman.
00:20:26.000And then some person came up to her who was probably a reporter wearing a mask, very low testosterone level, so probably a Northeastern reporter, and kept on saying over and over again, like, are you a biologist?
00:21:20.000I'm not a vet, but I know what a dog is.
00:21:23.000I'm not a specialist, but I could say and I could tell what a woman is.
00:21:28.000So this domination of our discourse by specialists and experts leads to a suffocation of speech.
00:21:35.000Not a biologist, can't comment on genders.
00:21:38.000Not a mathematician, you can't add up your grocery bill.
00:21:42.000Not a meteorologist, can't tell me it's raining.
00:21:47.000Since the left or statists, whatever term you prefer, they've commandeered control of the specialists and the selection of which voices get a platform.
00:21:59.000The specialists then are able to implement a form of social control.
00:22:03.000And we saw this all throughout COVID, that we had to listen to everything that was being told us regardless of how foolish or how insane the measures were, from the vaccine to the mask to lockdowns.
00:22:21.000Now, so what happens when specialists have differences of opinion?
00:22:27.000What happens when the regime's specialists are actually getting pushback from other specialists?
00:22:33.000So what happens when you have Fauci, who is the mascot of someone who has failed upwards, of the deep state?
00:22:42.000You want to see your country why it's falling apart?
00:22:44.000It's people like Fauci why it's fallen apart, who's been wrong about everything the last couple of years.
00:22:53.000And of course, he has direct blame for the death of hundreds of thousands of people unnecessarily.
00:22:59.000But Fauci received plenty of backlash.
00:23:02.000For those of you that watch CNN or the New York Times, you might know it.
00:23:05.000But did you know there was something called the Great Barrington Declaration?
00:23:10.000You see, the Barrington Declaration should have been something that every single American family was made aware of.
00:23:18.000The Great Barrington Declaration had 928,000 signatures from specialists.
00:23:26.000As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists, we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies.
00:23:36.000So, what happens when 928,000 specialists sign a declaration against Anthony Fauci?
00:23:43.000You see, the number of the specialists don't actually matter.
00:23:49.000They knew that people were willing to listen to what was ever on CBS Good Morning or the push notification on their phone or was ever on their Facebook feed.
00:23:58.000Despite the fact there might have been disagreement amongst the specialists, despite the fact that speech actually would have allowed us to have become sort of nuance to our COVID-19 policy, most people still to this day, if you ask the normal person, what's the Barrington Declaration?
00:24:14.000I don't know, but they'd be able to tell you 15 days to slow the spread.
00:24:18.000They'd tell you to stay six feet away from one another.
00:24:22.000So Fauci has come out and he's using his argument from authority to try to bash the wisdom of 928,000 other specialists who disagree with him.
00:24:34.000You know, George, that declaration has a couple of things in it that I think are fooling people because it says things that are like apple pie and motherhood.
00:24:42.000If you just let things rip and let the infection go, no masks, crowd, it doesn't make any difference.
00:24:48.000That, quite frankly, George, is ridiculous.
00:24:51.000So this idea that we have the power to protect the vulnerable is total nonsense.
00:24:57.000Fauci did everything he could to bash and slander them, and he continues to do that.
00:25:02.000The Great Barrington Declaration talks about how lockdowns will actually have more harm than good.
00:25:11.000It defines what lockdowns are, it defines how government is using them.
00:25:15.000It defines how young people are committing suicide at high rates.
00:25:18.000But Fauci doesn't like that, of course, because Fauci is not a scientist.
00:25:24.000No, Fauci is nothing more than a statist.
00:25:28.000Fauci is someone who looks at himself in the Wilsonian tradition of growing government, restricting individual liberty, and suffocating the will of the people.
00:25:40.000Our reaction to COVID was driven by the despotism of the specialist.
00:25:48.000The common man knew this was an entire charade.
00:25:55.000Yet, because of our hyper-focus on specialization and an argument from authority, officials soon resulted in a wide disconnect between the rulers and the ruled.
00:26:06.000All these things coming down, all these measures were a huge disconnect.
00:26:09.000People say, wait a second, this doesn't make any sense.
00:26:11.000Why does Gavin Newsom not have to wear a mask at the Super Bowl?
00:26:14.000But my fourth grader at a local school does.
00:26:17.000And this ties into, by the way, something we deal with that's impacting your ability to consume information, which is the fact-checking regime.
00:26:27.000We deal with the fact-checking regime every single day.
00:26:31.000So Facebook, Twitter, and all these other social media sites, they have these quote-unquote third-party specialists that come in and look at everything that we post on the Charlie Kirk show, everything.
00:26:44.000And if they, the specialists, have an opinion of a fact or something we said that is different, then they can remove the post.
00:26:55.000They can restrict our ability to post in the future.
00:26:58.000And then if there's enough violations, they could just take us out completely altogether.
00:27:04.000And so the fact-checking regime, which deals right now, I mean, we're not on Twitter because of a very similar sort of policy.
00:27:12.000So when you disagree with the specialist, and even if you have another special that disagrees, then it really comes to the institution.
00:27:19.000It all comes down to a pure power play, doesn't it?
00:27:23.000It really exposes the fraud of all of this.
00:27:27.000It exposes that many of these specialists, despite what they're publishing, are not even able to withstand any form of criticism.
00:27:35.000Do you really think that Fauci would be able to do an hour on the Charlie Kirk show?
00:27:41.000Maybe you say, oh, yeah, would he be able to answer very specific questions about alternative treatments and the cost of lockdowns and his ever-changing narrative and how he says the science has changed?
00:27:55.000And that kind of goes to this theme that we're finally starting to see of people starting to reject the tyranny, the despotism, the authoritarianism of these specialists.
00:28:25.000I deal with this all the time when I go to college campuses.
00:28:28.000If a professor decides to come up and ask me a question immediately, they'll say, I'm a professor, you're not, therefore I am right.
00:28:35.000And that is an embedded logical fallacy.
00:28:37.000What if I told you our entire public health policy, now our biology policy, our legal policy is all being built on one massive logical fallacy, argument from authority.
00:29:36.000There's plenty of good people with PhDs.
00:29:38.000We have some of them on our program, but you understand what I'm saying.
00:29:41.000The large community of the selected PhDs within this kind of, let's say, the protected class of specialists, they believe they are Plato's philosopher king.
00:29:55.000A philosopher king is someone that Plato believed was the ultimate type of ruler.
00:30:01.000Now, in the ideal, a philosopher king would be awesome.
00:30:04.000Someone who actually knows what's best for people and has studied the classics and knows what a human being is, but it's the opposite.
00:30:10.000It's now an all-knowing philosopher king with no wisdom and nothing but power.
00:30:18.000Look, I've been using ExpressVPN for at least five years, and now it's the VPN that I trust.
00:30:24.000And here's something that blows my mind.
00:30:26.000These guys actually engineer their own VPN protocol called Lightway to keep your data secure without sacrificing speed.
00:30:36.000If you don't know what a VPN is, it stands for a virtual private network.
00:30:39.000ExpressVPN is an app that encrypts 100% of your network data and reroutes it through a secure server.
00:30:44.000This is especially important when you use public Wi-Fi.
00:30:47.000Not only can the admin see everything you're doing, but hackers connected to the same network can steal your account logins and financial details.
00:30:54.000Because they engineered their own VPN protocol, all the other major VPNs have the same off-the-shelf protocol.
00:31:01.000Look, it's like making brownies using a mix.
00:31:03.000Sure, you might add an extra egg in there or a dash of vanilla to give it an edge, but the foundation is still the same.
00:31:11.000This level of bespoke technology is what allows ExpressVPN, the best VPN out there, to provide superior speeds and enhance privacy and protection.
00:32:15.000If an expert won't take tough questions, like Katanji Brown Jackson, well, then maybe that person is not much of an expert.
00:32:22.000If they're not transparent, maybe they're not much of an expert.
00:32:26.000You see, there are certain characteristics of a totalitarian government, and they always, always find a way of replicating themselves.
00:32:35.000There's methods of enforcement, one-party rule, which we're getting close to, not the fact that Democrats control everything, but the Uniparty controls almost everything.
00:32:45.000We see that with Pelosi and Cheney and Kinzinger and Schumer.
00:32:52.000Modern technology allows totalitarianism to be executed much easier.
00:32:57.000And then the state control of all society, which requires specialists.
00:33:02.000Technocracy is a form of government where people with immense knowledge in science or technical expertise in an area are elected to public office or they are put into positions of power.
00:33:53.000But that does not disqualify other people to be able, if they want to spend the time, to at least become somewhat literate, not necessarily fluent in that topic.
00:34:06.000We used to be a country that would embrace this, by the way.
00:34:09.000We used to be a country that wanted the Renaissance man as a citizen.
00:34:14.000The person that would grow their own food.
00:34:16.000The person that would hunt for their own meat.
00:34:21.000The person that could fix their own fence.
