The Charlie Kirk Show - When the Strong Crush the Weak

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody.

00:00:00.000 Today on the Charlie Kirk Show, Chicago School Closures.

00:00:03.000 The strong crushing the weak.

00:00:06.000 And we asked the question, and it's a legitimate question.

00:00:08.000 I want your thoughts.

00:00:09.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.

00:00:13.000 Not all parents, almost every parent that listened to our show really does a wonderful job as engaged, or else you guys wouldn't be listening.

00:00:19.000 I'm just a broader question more broadly.

00:00:21.000 It's not meant as an accusation.

00:00:23.000 It's a legitimate inquiry.

00:00:24.000 So listen to this episode, and I'd love your thoughts.

00:01:47.000 Schools are closing.

00:01:48.000 What does that mean?

00:01:49.000 Well, the strong is trying to crush the weak, and children are being let out to dry in this latest chapter of intergenerational theft.

00:02:00.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:02:01.000 Here we go.

00:02:02.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:02:04.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:02:06.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:02:09.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:02:12.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:02:14.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:02:14.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:02:22.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:02:23.000 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.

00:02:32.000 That's why we are here.

00:02:34.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:02:43.000 So as Omicron rages, there's a couple of takeaways that are rather obvious.

00:02:48.000 This is more, it's a more contagious strain.

00:02:51.000 It is not as deadly.

00:02:54.000 And in some ways, it very well might be the end of the life cycle of virus.

00:02:58.000 We don't know that for sure, but it looks like it very well could be.

00:03:01.000 And that's some very positive news.

00:03:03.000 And the portion of the population that continues to be at very little to almost immeasurable risk is children.

00:03:15.000 We knew this with the original strain of the Chinese Fauci coronavirus.

00:03:18.000 We knew this with the Delta strain of the Chinese corona Fauci virus.

00:03:23.000 And with Omicron, it's even more so.

00:03:25.000 Some are even comparing it to a common cold or flu, which it isn't, but some people are making that comparison.

00:03:31.000 Children are at incredibly low risk.

00:03:35.000 In fact, Alex Berenson said that it's almost, it's not measurable the risk that children are at from dying from this virus.

00:03:45.000 Fauci himself has come out and has said that we are overcounting the amount of children that are hospitalized with this virus.

00:03:57.000 Listen to Fauci.

00:03:58.000 He says, if you look at children who are hospitalized, many of them are hospitalized with COVID as opposed to because of COVID.

00:04:06.000 Play cut four.

00:04:07.000 If you look at the children who are hospitalized, many of them are hospitalized with COVID as opposed to because of COVID.

00:04:17.000 And what we mean by that, if a child goes in the hospital, they automatically get tested for COVID and they get counted as a COVID hospitalized individual, when in fact they may go in for a broken leg or appendicitis or something like that.

00:04:34.000 So it's overcounting the number of children who are, quote, hospitalized with COVID as opposed to because of COVID.

00:04:44.000 According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children have represented 0.00 to 0.27 of all Chinese Fauci coronavirus deaths.

00:04:55.000 Last week, the CDC reported that weekly deaths in people ages 18 to 29 have decreased to zero from one in five million to the week prior.

00:05:04.000 It is so rare that children are at much greater risk of dying of being a passenger in a car, much greater risk of walking into a pool and suffocating.

00:05:15.000 They're at much greater risk of dying from childhood cancer than from the Omicron strain or even the Delta strain of this virus.

00:05:25.000 Despite all of this being very clear, what broke last night is one of the most stunning violations of the social compact and social contract, the generational social contract that I have seen in my lifetime. 0.52

00:05:44.000 In my home city of Chicago, a city that had over 800 homicides last year, 800 homicides, most of which were black on black crime. 0.93

00:05:54.000 And by the way, most of which remain unsolved.

00:05:58.000 City of Chicago that says you're not allowed to go to a local restaurant without proof of vaccination.

00:06:06.000 A city of Chicago that has become the laughingstock of the country, which is too bad.

00:06:11.000 It used to be a great city.

00:06:12.000 And now it's a dystopian third-rate city, third world city, in more ways than one.

00:06:17.000 In Chicago last night, to continue the downward trajectory and spiral into oblivion for a virus that is not even impacting one in five million children.

00:06:32.000 Last night, the Chicago Teacher Union announced they're closing schools.

00:06:38.000 Chicago Teacher Union approved an action of 73% of its members.

00:06:42.000 73% of teachers said that they want to pause on in-person learning until at least January 18th or until cases fall below a particular threshold.

00:06:53.000 Play cut 34.

00:06:55.000 The Chicago Teachers Union action approved by 73% of its members called for a pause on in-person learning and to work remotely until January 18th or until COVID cases fall below a particular threshold.

00:07:11.000 The union also demanded the city require negative tests from students and staff before returning to school.

00:07:20.000 What population in America needs open schools more than inner city kids in Chicago?

00:07:29.000 These deeply troubled people that call themselves teachers, these 17,000 people, right?

00:07:34.000 17,000, they decide to crush and smash kids' futures that they are pledged to serve.

00:07:45.000 Now, of course, the rich kids, the children of J.B. Pritzker, the children of any billionaire in Chicago, they'll go to private school or they could go to school in Florida and get on a jet and they can get out of town.

00:08:01.000 But no, it's the kid on 34th Street.

00:08:05.000 It's the kid in Anglewood.

00:08:08.000 It's the kid that grew up in West Chicago.

00:08:13.000 Those are the kids that all of a sudden are looking around and saying, what?

00:08:16.000 I'm supposed to go do Zoom class now.

00:08:20.000 20% of children in the Chicago public schools go home to homes without internet.

00:08:31.000 West Anglewood and Anglewood on the south side are the least connected, with only about half of children having access to internet.

00:08:40.000 I want to repeat that.

00:08:42.000 Only 20% of children that are sent home have no internet.

00:08:49.000 So the Chicago teacher union, because they're afraid of catching a strain of the virus that is considerably less deadly.

00:08:58.000 In fact, according to the latest statistics, cases are up 124%, more contagious.

00:09:05.000 Deaths are down 48%.

00:09:06.000 So it's half as deadly as previous strains.

00:09:09.000 And the other strains weren't even that deadly, by the way, as far as the whole statistic population.

00:09:15.000 And the Chicago teacher unions, who are morally pledged to look after the well-being of the kids of Chicago, what are they doing?

00:09:25.000 They say, we're going to close the schools.

00:09:27.000 So right now, for all of you listening on AM560, The Answer in Chicago, schools are closed.

00:09:32.000 20% of those kids that now are not allowed to go to school are supposed to do online learning.

00:09:39.000 They just don't have internet.

00:09:42.000 And Chicago schools were already a disaster.

00:09:46.000 The Chicago teacher unions, otherwise known as the Chicago Public Sector Cartel, which is no different than the drug trafficking, human smuggling cartel on the southern border.

00:09:56.000 The only difference is that the cartel from Mexico doesn't have a direct impact on children in Chicago, only a tangential impact of bringing drugs and guns into the city.

00:10:10.000 We already know that children that are born during the pandemic have lower IQs. 1.00

00:10:16.000 We have created the stupidest, dumbest generation in American history because of the lockdowns. 1.00

00:10:25.000 Adults are morally tasked with looking after the well-being of the upcoming generation. 1.00

00:10:31.000 This is basic social contract stuff.

00:10:34.000 Especially if you're going to be in the place of an instructor or a teacher, you need to make decisions that are going to be in the best interest of people that are not in the same socioeconomic or generational position that you are for five, six, seven, eight, and nine 10 year olds.

00:10:56.000 But put simply, what's happening in Chicago is the strong crushing the weak.

00:11:03.000 It's teachers that receive their paycheck, that don't want to go to work, that say to the black and Hispanic kids of Chicago, go figure it out. 0.85

00:11:15.000 We don't care about you.

00:11:19.000 As many of you know, most of corporate America is going woke, and that includes those companies who are investing your hard-earned retirement money.

00:11:27.000 I finally found a financial planning and investment firm that supports our values.

00:11:27.000 Well, guess what?

00:11:32.000 PAX Financial Group in San Antonio, Texas.

00:11:35.000 Here's the great news.

00:11:36.000 Now you don't have to live in Texas to work with them because San Antonio is a military city.

00:11:41.000 They have clients worldwide.

00:11:43.000 The thing that I like about PAX Financial Group is they have biblical responsible investments.

00:11:47.000 These investments screen out companies that promote abortion, pornography, alcohol, drugs, gambling, and are anti-family or anti-Christian.

00:11:55.000 Look, if you have $150,000 or more in your IRA, 401ks or other investments, and you want to speak to my friends at PAX, visit paxfinancialgroup.com.

00:12:06.000 That's paxfinancialgroup.com.

00:12:08.000 Right now, they want to offer you a free e-book to learn about biblical responsible investing.

00:12:13.000 Grab this e-book right now at paxfinancialgroup.com.

00:12:17.000 Let's start investing in companies and make everyone's liberty a priority.

00:12:24.000 20% of kids in Chicago don't have internet at home.

00:12:29.000 Only 50% of kids on the south side, which is predominantly a black area, have internet at home.

00:12:37.000 In the south and west side, schools in 2020, one in five grades of all grades given in math and English were in F. Despite all this, the Chicago teacher unions have shut down the schools.

00:12:55.000 They're done teaching, basically.

00:12:57.000 A WBEZ analysis, local station in Chicago, said that even when they have class in person, about one in four kids don't show up anyway.

00:13:11.000 And this year, Chicago public schools have said that they're letting all elementary and middle school students move on to the next grade regardless of whether they even show up or pass the class or not.

00:13:22.000 Just move them up. 0.99

00:13:26.000 Adults are morally tasked with looking after whether or not their children and who comes after them is going to experience at the very least something comparable to the country they lived in.

00:13:44.000 Now, the reasoning for the teacher unions, they say that it's unsafe for them to be in these school environments, which is a very interesting way to put it considering the neighborhoods a lot of them have to actually teach in.

00:14:00.000 But they don't want to teach.

00:14:02.000 17,000 of these teachers in the Chicago teacher union are lazy thugs. 0.93

00:14:09.000 It's just that simple.

00:14:10.000 They want to phone it in from home and do Zoom and Skype class, collect their paycheck, regardless of whether or not their kids, who, by the way, now thanks to these school closures, are going to be at disproportionate risk of dropping out and joining gangs.

00:14:27.000 So homicides will go up, petty thefts will go up, Gucci stores being raided will go up.

00:14:35.000 But according to the Chicago teacher unions, it's like the thing that Joseph Stalin used to say in the midst of the famine.

00:14:41.000 What famine?

00:14:42.000 Everything's wonderful.

00:14:44.000 We have more crops than we know what to do with.

00:14:47.000 No, it's actually, there's nothing here.

00:14:48.000 Okay, we'll send you to the gulags.

00:14:50.000 It's the very same thing.

00:14:52.000 Our kids are the smartest kids in the country.

00:14:54.000 It's Chicago teacher unions.

00:14:55.000 Everyone's passed to the next grade.

00:15:00.000 And it really does ask the question, which is what is the moral compass of the Chicago ruling class, especially in the educational space, that believes this is even remotely acceptable.

00:15:18.000 I'm going to expand on one of the things I talked about, which is the price, the cost that the lockdowns, that the abrupt changes in American society brought onto children who had no say whatsoever.

00:15:35.000 For just newborn children, new research has found from Brown University that IQ levels are 20 to 30 points lower for new children born during the pandemic than before.

00:15:54.000 It says parents are stressed and frazzled.

00:15:56.000 The interaction the child would normally get has decreased substantially.

00:16:02.000 The ability to course correct becomes smaller the older that child gets.

00:16:09.000 Perhaps not surprising that children from lower socioeconomic families have been the most affected as this resonates with many of the other financial, employment, and health impacts of the pandemic.

00:16:21.000 You see, this is where they're wrong.

00:16:23.000 This is not an impact of the pandemic.

00:16:26.000 It's an impact of our reaction to the pandemic.

00:16:29.000 Those are two totally different things.

00:16:33.000 We could have and should have had a reaction that would have put our children first.

00:16:40.000 Schools never should have closed.

00:16:41.000 A child should never wear a mask, period.

00:16:45.000 But instead, you have parents, adults, that deep down really hate themselves and they're trying to live vicariously through their children in this kind of outsourced ego way. 0.98

00:17:00.000 And that's why when you go to these stores, you see these four-year-olds with masks on and you think to yourself, well, of course they're dumber, obviously. 0.98

00:17:06.000 They're not hearing what anyone has to say. 0.97

00:17:08.000 They're not seeing facial interactions.

00:17:10.000 They're not learning how to read social cues.

00:17:14.000 They're becoming quasi-cyborg automatons.

00:17:19.000 But I want to pose this question, which is, why wouldn't the group of people that recklessly borrowed $15 trillion that we didn't have, why wouldn't they just repeat that same sort of moral behavior by wrecking kids' lives when it comes to school closures?

00:17:41.000 Our fiscal policy and the lack of morality that came to our death that related to our deficit spending last 20 years is directly connected to how and why we tolerated the obliteration of our children's future.

00:17:58.000 I've been telling you guys about Relief Factor for quite some time.

00:18:00.000 And truth is, I know millions of people are in fact, 100 million people are in some kind of pain.

00:18:05.000 Look, producer Andrew, he couldn't walk.

00:18:06.000 He was a hobbled individual. 0.96

00:18:08.000 He was bedridden in his chair, complaining all the time.

00:18:12.000 And then all of a sudden, we got this call from Relief Factor.

00:18:15.000 They said, hey, we want to partner with your show.

00:18:17.000 We're going to send you some Relief Factor.

00:18:18.000 Producer Andrew got it.

00:18:20.000 He took it, got a little bit better, took some more, got a little bit better.

00:18:23.000 Next thing you know, he's doing the False Berry flop like you wouldn't believe.

00:18:26.000 In fact, he might be training for an Iron Man.

00:18:30.000 It's pretty incredible.

00:18:31.000 Now, he says it's thanks to Relief Factor.

00:18:33.000 I ask him all the time, Relief Factor?

00:18:35.000 He says relieffactor.com, 100% drug-free supplement.

00:18:37.000 You can get it for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day.

00:18:40.000 So go to relieffactor.com, and I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start to see if we can get you out of pain.

00:18:45.000 And then after that, it's less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day to stay out of pain.

00:18:48.000 So go to relieffactor.com.

00:18:50.000 That is relief factor.com.

00:18:52.000 I'm telling you, a lot of people are in pain.

00:18:53.000 It's 100% drug-free.

00:18:54.000 Don't go to opioids.

00:18:56.000 Don't go to these other things.

00:18:57.000 Check it out at relieffactor.com.

00:19:02.000 So a lot of people are upset.

00:19:05.000 We're getting a lot of different emails, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:19:07.000 They're outraged that Chicago would shut down their schools.

00:19:11.000 And you look at a minority population that needs in-person learning and instruction, hopefully mask-free in-person instruction and learning. 1.00

00:19:21.000 And this is something that really irritates us conservatives, and it doesn't irritate the left.

00:19:26.000 You know why?

00:19:26.000 Because we, as conservatives, believe every individual that is being robbed of an in-person education has the potential to flourish and has the potential within them to succeed.

00:19:38.000 We believe that every single person, regardless of skin color, regardless of what neighborhood they're from, has a moral right to a high, high-quality education, at the very least, a moral right to learn how to read and write and do math.

00:19:53.000 The left believes in no such thing, they just believe in monopolies and power, which is exactly why they're shutting down these schools, because the 17,000 self-righteous thugs that call themselves teachers that voted to keep these schools closed, the 17,000 teachers that did that, 73% of them, they're fine that the black fifth grader in Englewood is going to drop out of school and instead go into a gang life and end up dead in prison or a mass murderer.

00:20:21.000 And there is a direct connection with school closures and increase of crime.

00:20:25.000 There is a direct connection with school closures and kids falling through the cracks and getting into organized crime.

00:20:33.000 But the deeper question that I want to explore with you is: where did this start?

00:20:38.000 Where did we start the pattern of accepting the robbery, the thievery, the plundering of future generations?

00:20:49.000 Where did we start that?

00:20:52.000 Well, one of my first kind of, let's say, moments of activism in the suburbs of Chicago at Wheeling High School was working with some of my local friends there complaining about the ever-increasing national debt and deficit.

00:21:07.000 That as our deficit grew and our national debt grew, we were making a moral argument: hey, we're 16 and 17 years old.

00:21:15.000 We're not even able to vote yet.

00:21:17.000 Yet we're entering into a fiscal and a financial situation and scenario that is less than advantageous.

00:21:25.000 So our future is being robbed.

00:21:26.000 Our future is being mortgaged for the comfort and for the luxury and the short-term benefit of a generation that is not going to be inheriting the nation. 0.97

00:21:41.000 Basically, the argument that we made at Turning Point USA and we made with some of my local buddies there in the suburbs of Chicago is very simple, which is why are adults okay with borrowing all this money and piling it on their children?

00:21:55.000 And I know a lot of you listening right now are probably getting mildly irritated.

00:21:59.000 You're saying, Charlie, I'm not okay.

00:22:01.000 I have voted in every single election.

00:22:03.000 I have been protesting against this.

00:22:05.000 I was a Tea Party activist.

00:22:06.000 Then I'm not talking about you.

00:22:08.000 Okay, so don't get fired up because I get these emails all the time.

00:22:11.000 Charlie, how dare you blame generational theft on me?

00:22:15.000 I'm not.

00:22:15.000 I mean, you're the exception to the rule, okay?

00:22:18.000 That's very simple.

00:22:20.000 The point is that the rule, though, the majority of people that are over the age of 50 have been perfectly okay with the moral injustice of what is now a $29.6 trillion national debt.

00:22:37.000 You see, borrowing money to try and placate Medicare, Social Security, and generous welfare benefits, that same sort of behavior is precisely the same sort of behavior that created the robbery of children during the Chinese coronavirus Fauci pandemic.

00:23:01.000 It's the same thing.

00:23:03.000 New York Times today, no way to grow up.

00:23:06.000 The toll.

00:23:06.000 Children fell far behind in school during the first year of the pandemic and have not caught up.

00:23:13.000 Okay, so we knew what was going on.

00:23:17.000 We warned against this as it was happening.

00:23:19.000 We weren't the only ones.

00:23:20.000 Laura Ingram did, Tucker Carlson did, Sean Hannity did, Donald Trump did, Joe Rogan did, Peter McCullough, Robert Malone.

00:23:28.000 We weren't the only show, but we were definitely on the cutting edge of that, warning that we are going to be participating in a massive intergenerational wealth transfer of stealing the best years, stealing childhood development, emotional development, creating the most drug-addicted and suicidal generation in American history.

00:23:47.000 But most, not all, most parents were unmoved by this.

00:23:53.000 They couldn't care less.

00:23:55.000 They instead bought into the CDC-induced fear propaganda, mass hypnosis.

00:24:01.000 And so, according to the New York Times, among third through eighth graders, math and reading levels were all lower than normal this fall.

00:24:09.000 The shortfalls were largest for black and Hispanic students.

00:24:12.000 So, where is BLM, by the way?

00:24:14.000 Are they too busy burning down Wendy's to care about this?

00:24:17.000 Are they too busy purchasing more homes for Nicole Hannah-Jones?

00:24:21.000 No, where is Black Lives Matter? 0.99

00:24:24.000 Black and Hispanic students are less literate than ever before. 1.00

00:24:30.000 And yet, they want us to care about police brutality. 0.98

00:24:33.000 Yeah, how about you make sure fifth graders can read?

00:24:36.000 That's what I care about.

00:24:38.000 They're too worried that 18 unarmed people, black people, were killed by police, most of which were not even actually unarmed.

00:24:47.000 Thomas Fordham said, quote, from the, I'm sorry, Michael Petrilli from the Thomas Fordham Institute said, quote, we have never seen this kind of academic achievement crisis in living memory.

00:25:01.000 Let me say that again.

00:25:02.000 We have not seen this kind of academic achievement crisis in living memory.

00:25:10.000 Many children and teenagers are experiencing mental health problems, aggravated by isolation and disruption of the pandemic.

00:25:19.000 Three medical groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, recently declared a national state of emergency in children's mental health.

00:25:28.000 They cited dramatic increases in emergency department visits for all mental health emergencies.

00:25:35.000 Suicide attempts have risen, according to the New York Times.

00:25:37.000 And by the way, all of this was manufactured by our rulers and by adults.

00:25:43.000 It just is.

00:25:44.000 There is no way to escape it.

00:25:47.000 This is one generation that declared a secular jihad to try and protect themselves. 0.68

00:25:55.000 Like, oh, yeah, we have to close everything down because I'm super worried of getting this virus.

00:25:59.000 Well, what about the eight-year-old that's trying to kill themselves?

00:26:01.000 I don't care about that.

00:26:02.000 Okay.

00:26:03.000 Suicide rates have risen among adolescent boys and sharply among adolescent girls.

00:26:09.000 The number of ER visits for suspected suicide attempts by 12 to 17-year-olds, girls, rose by 51%.

00:26:19.000 Let me say that again.

00:26:20.000 Suicide rates for girls are up 51%.

00:26:27.000 Gun violence against children has increased because, in the midst of all this, we said, hey, you know what's a great idea?

00:26:33.000 Let's also decide to just burn everything. 0.98

00:26:37.000 And if you dare question it, you're a racist. 0.98

00:26:41.000 We went on a mass cultural arsonist campaign. 0.94

00:26:45.000 Many schools have still not returned to normal, worsening learning loss and social isolation.

00:26:51.000 Lunchtime, extracurricular activities, assemblies, school trips, parent-teacher conferences, reliable bus schedules have been transformed, if not eliminated, totally unnecessarily.

00:27:03.000 Jackie Irwin said this is no way for a child to grow up.

00:27:06.000 For many kids, school represents a safe, comfortable, reliable place, but not for nearly two years now.

00:27:11.000 And it's totally avoidable.

00:27:14.000 And there's so many different things I want to say about this.

00:27:16.000 We don't have a lot of time.

00:27:18.000 I've said this on the show.

00:27:20.000 I'm trying.

00:27:22.000 Can anyone email me?

00:27:23.000 Please, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:27:26.000 Instead of maybe you know, why are parents putting up with this?

00:27:30.000 And I know some of you are going to email me, Charlie, I'm not.

00:27:32.000 I took my kid out.

00:27:33.000 Okay, fine.

00:27:33.000 Great.

00:27:34.000 You're in the exception. 0.58

00:27:35.000 Why are most parents putting up with this nonsense?

00:27:41.000 I suppose that is really the question of the 20th century, though, isn't it, Connor and Andrew?

00:27:45.000 That really was the question.

00:27:47.000 Why did they put up with Stalin's killing?

00:27:49.000 Why did they put up with Mussolini putting people on trains?

00:27:52.000 Why did they put up with Paul Pott?

00:27:53.000 Why did they put up with Mao Zetong?

00:27:56.000 I suppose we really don't have an answer to that question yet.

00:27:58.000 Still, Malone believes it's mass formation psychosis.

00:28:05.000 Behavioral problems have increased.

00:28:07.000 Schools across the country, according to the New York Times, this is not some right-wing thing.

00:28:11.000 This is the New York Times.

00:28:13.000 Says across the country, say they're seeing an uptick in disruptive behaviors.

00:28:16.000 Obviously, it's going to be the most medicated generation in American history.

00:28:20.000 There's more swearing, vandalism, fights.

00:28:24.000 Teacher in Northern California says it's the meanest, most inappropriate generation that she's ever had to teach.

00:28:32.000 This circumstance, basically the intentional obliteration of a children's future, it all started when we decided to borrow money we didn't have.

00:28:41.000 They're directly connected.

00:28:45.000 The real estate market is extremely hot right now.

00:28:47.000 People are taking advantage of low interest rates and economic uncertainty by investing in real assets.

00:28:52.000 Whether you are a first-time buyer or just looking to make a change, the key is to get the property you want is being pre-qualified and having cash in hand.

00:28:59.000 That's why you guys, all of us, myself included, I had to stop doing this.

00:29:03.000 I had to stop using the big banks.

00:29:04.000 I used a big bank for a loan previously.

00:29:06.000 It was a disaster.

00:29:07.000 It took forever.

00:29:08.000 Not to mention, I go look at their score on secondvote.com.

00:29:12.000 Like, wow, my loan helped fund abortions.

00:29:14.000 BLM Incorporated, burning down of Wendy's, the destruction of our society. 1.00

00:29:19.000 I'm done with it.

00:29:20.000 Then I met Andrew and Todd.

00:29:22.000 Andrew Del Ray and Todd of Aikien, who become great friends of mine, AndrewandTodd.com.

00:29:26.000 They are with Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:29:28.000 My producer, Andrew, he's working with them right now, and he tells me they are part counselors, part financial planners, and they're really helping them.

00:29:34.000 And I'm about to use them for something.

00:29:35.000 I've been so impressed by them.

00:29:36.000 But they are bankers, not brokers.

00:29:39.000 That means that they can help you start to finish.

00:29:40.000 But quite honestly, let's divest and take all of our money out of these woke banks.

00:29:45.000 So maybe you're buying a new home.

00:29:46.000 Maybe you're refinancing.

00:29:47.000 Whatever process you're going through, just fill out a couple simple questions online at andrewandodd.com.

00:29:53.000 They can assess your situation right over the phone.

00:29:55.000 Go to AndrewandTodd.com or call AAA 8881172.

00:29:57.000 That's 888 888 1172.

00:29:59.000 Even if you have a friend who's buying a home, I'm sure every single person knows someone that's buying a home.

00:30:03.000 Just put your arm around them and say, hey, go to Andrewandodd.com.

00:30:05.000 Charlie Kirk speaks favorably of them.

00:30:08.000 Here's what I can guarantee with AndrewandTodd.com.

00:30:10.000 Zero of the proceeds will go to fund abortion.

00:30:14.000 Zero will go to fund BLM.

00:30:16.000 Zero will go to fund the woke industrial complex instead. 0.87

00:30:18.000 Andrew and Todd, they support shows like ours.

00:30:21.000 They want to help patriots, Christians, and people that love their country and love the Lord take out loans and do it correctly.

00:30:28.000 So go to AndrewandTodd.com, call 888-888-1172.

00:30:32.000 That's 888-888-1172.

00:30:35.000 AndrewandTodd.com.

00:30:36.000 Support the good guys and stop supporting companies and banks that hate you.

00:30:41.000 The banks have waged war on our values.

00:30:43.000 Time to say Sayonara via Candillos.

00:30:46.000 Alvita Sane.

00:30:47.000 I'll be going to AndrewandTodd.com.

00:30:53.000 Let's go to Cut 36.

00:30:55.000 Student in Chicago Public Schools says she is mad her school shut down.

00:30:58.000 I wish we were in person.

00:30:59.000 I feel like I learned better that way.

00:31:00.000 Play cut 36.

00:31:01.000 Corey and TL Lincoln Way high schoolers were supposed to go back to school here in New Lennox tomorrow, but didn't find out until today that this week they'll be staying home.

00:31:12.000 I was mad.

00:31:14.000 Why?

00:31:15.000 I personally don't like being online.

00:31:18.000 I wish we were in person.

00:31:20.000 I feel like I learned better that way.

00:31:23.000 It's child abuse.

00:31:24.000 New Lennox is not in Chicago, by the way.

00:31:27.000 New Lennox is south, south, south Chicago.

00:31:29.000 It's right near Joliet.

00:31:30.000 I have family that actually was from there spent a lot of time near New Lennox, not far from Lamont, which is where Turning Point USA was actually born.

00:31:37.000 New Lennox is a far cry from Chicago public schools.

00:31:40.000 And so, and New Lennox, by the way, is a very high income area.

00:31:43.000 It's relatively high income.

00:31:45.000 And if you want to see, I mean, Connor, I encourage you to look at this.

00:31:48.000 Go look up Lincoln Way East.

00:31:52.000 It's one of the largest schools, Lincoln Way South, Lincoln Way East.

00:31:55.000 I don't know if they have a north.

00:31:56.000 These schools are unbelievably well funded.

00:32:00.000 They have like three Lincolnways down there.

00:32:03.000 You see it, right, Connor?

00:32:04.000 Is that not one of the biggest schools you've ever seen in your life?

00:32:07.000 It's unbelievable.

00:32:08.000 It's 3,000, 4,000 kids easily.

00:32:11.000 It's up there.

00:32:11.000 And they're just shutting it down, sending them all home.

00:32:15.000 Dawn emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:32:18.000 He says, I think they put up with it, parents, because they themselves are ill-prepared to think critically, having grown up being taught they are owed XYZ and want others to take care of educating their kids.

00:32:30.000 I totally agree with that.

00:32:31.000 I don't know that they have the internal toolbox required to do what needs to be done.

00:32:36.000 Over the years, our education system has set up our society with a population that isn't very capable of standing on their own, let alone challenging bad systems, which is a perfect segue.

00:32:48.000 Two things before we close out this hour.

00:32:51.000 Number one, as soon as we tolerated the moral behavior of deficit spending, which is the same thing as school closing, make no mistake.

00:33:02.000 When Congress started to borrow hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars, they were starting to condition the minds of the baby boomer generation that it's okay to steal from your kids.

00:33:15.000 It's the same sort of behavior.

00:33:17.000 When I first started Turning Point USA, when I started this 10 years ago, it'll be 10 years in June.

00:33:22.000 It's been a long decade.

00:33:23.000 I feel like I've been at this for a couple decades.

00:33:27.000 When that first started, the national debt was about $12.5 trillion.

00:33:33.000 Now it's $30 trillion.

00:33:35.000 So in 10 years of doing this, our national debt has nearly tripled, at least two and a half times bigger.

00:33:45.000 And it's that proverbial saying of kicking the can down the road.

00:33:48.000 Okay.

00:33:50.000 We know that politicians are kind of programmed to not care about long-term effects, only care about short-term or immediate implications, such as getting reelected or campaign contributions or nice articles in the Washington Post or New York Times.

00:34:09.000 But what was really happening was the conditioning of a population to learn to be okay with reaching into the crib of the child and stealing.

00:34:25.000 And so then when it came to the situation where all of a sudden the media told you, hey, you know that children could be super spreaders, which by the way, no evidence shows that children are spreaders.

00:34:35.000 Dr. Peter McCullough said that asymptomatic spread is one of the great lies of the pandemic.

00:34:43.000 Let me say that again.

00:34:44.000 Dr. Peter McCullough said that asymptomatic spread is one of the great lies of the entire pandemic.

00:34:53.000 I think we have that clip.

00:34:54.000 We could play it later, but it's around here somewhere.

00:34:59.000 But when parents were then forced to say, hey, we got to close down schools.

00:35:03.000 We have to lock down our economy, which of course has now resulted in all these different things.

00:35:08.000 It was almost like, well, yeah, of course.

00:35:10.000 We're used to that.

00:35:12.000 We steal from our kids all the time.

00:35:16.000 It's called a continuing resolution.

00:35:18.000 It's called a budget debate.

00:35:21.000 It's called Illinois.

00:35:22.000 You look at their pension problems.

00:35:25.000 It's called an omnibus bill, is what it is.

00:35:28.000 So, when all of a sudden, the question of what do we morally do when we have to either prioritize our children or our immediate gratification so that we can remain comfortable on the golf course in Palm Beach, the answer was: let's do what we've already been doing.

00:35:50.000 Let's keep the theft going.

00:35:52.000 Now, the question is: is all of this kind of deterioration and dumbing down of children intentional?

00:36:02.000 I don't have time to get into that.

00:36:04.000 So, you're going to have to email me if you think it's intentional.
