The Charlie Kirk Show - Why the National School Board Association Apologized

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody, the school board issue is growing, and the National School Board Association of America issued a bizarre, unique, and unprecedented apology, and I put that in air quotes, against the moms and dads they call domestic terrorists.

00:00:12.000 We talk about that as well as Barack Hussein Obama weighing in on the culture wars.

00:00:17.000 Well, it's because Democrats are worried and they're trying to turn things away from the current trajectory, which means we have to keep the pressure on.

00:00:17.000 What is he doing?

00:00:24.000 We talk about Ron DeSantis.

00:00:26.000 We talk a little bit about Anthony Fauci in this episode.

00:00:29.000 And we also get to briefly, and we don't do this comprehensively, but we kind of tease it a little bit.

00:00:35.000 Why are more people dying than ever before?

00:00:37.000 Not of COVID specifically, but just why are people dying?

00:00:40.000 That's a very good question.

00:00:41.000 And you can email us your thoughts.

00:03:15.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:03:18.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:03:19.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:03:29.000 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.

00:03:38.000 That's why we are here.

00:03:41.000 Hey, everybody.

00:04:08.000 Okay, so let's go into this story here.

00:04:11.000 The Virginia governor's race is quickly tightening.

00:04:15.000 The Virginia governor's race is statistically tied, and a new poll actually shows that Terry McAuliffe is losing and Youngkin, the Republican challenger, is winning.

00:04:28.000 Now, these polls can be all over the place, but we've been keeping our eye on the Virginia governor's race.

00:04:32.000 And we just did a massive event in Virginia where we had 3,000 people show up in Loudoun County, Virginia.

00:04:40.000 New poll alert, according to the University of Mary Washington.

00:04:43.000 Now, Connor, that's not some right-wing institution, right?

00:04:47.000 That's not as if it was, let's say, Donald Trump organization doing the poll or whatever, right?

00:04:54.000 Okay.

00:04:55.000 So it says that Youngkin is leading in the polls with 48%.

00:05:00.000 McAuliffe, 43%.

00:05:04.000 What does the real clear politics average now show?

00:05:07.000 That's always very interesting to look at.

00:05:09.000 But the number one issue, the number one issue as to why all of a sudden the Virginia governor's race has been flipped upside down is schools.

00:05:24.000 New polling shows that parents of K through 12 children, that means suburban women and fathers in Virginia, 56% of them want a Republican governor. 0.74

00:05:38.000 I can't imagine that this is not a recipe for victory for the Republican.

00:05:43.000 Virginia has become a blue state.

00:05:47.000 Virginia has become a place that Republicans used to dominate.

00:05:51.000 And because of the growth of the Kingdom of Washington, D.C. in Northern Virginia, in Loudoun County and Fairfax County in particular, these races have just been so frustrating and seemingly untouchable. 0.99

00:06:05.000 But because of the new rise of the mom and dad showing up to school board meetings, we are now seeing a backlash and response politically that is profound and that it's real.

00:06:20.000 And so you look at the polling that is coming out.

00:06:22.000 And again, polling, who knows how accurate some of this is, but you can get a gauge.

00:06:26.000 You can get an idea of how realistic some of these things are.

00:06:32.000 And it now shows that Democrat Terry McAuliffe is down in the polls.

00:06:36.000 And here's how I know that the Democrats are worried.

00:06:40.000 Here's how I know the Democrats are getting nervous.

00:06:44.000 They are bringing in Barack Hussein Obama to try and bail out Terry McAuliffe by saying, we don't have time to be wasted on these phony trumped up culture wars, the fake outrage.

00:06:56.000 Right-wing media pedals up to juice of the rating.

00:07:00.000 Come join me in Martha's Vineyard.

00:07:02.000 It's a very sophisticated, vaccinated crowd.

00:07:05.000 We do a great job for the country.

00:07:08.000 Cuts five.

00:07:09.000 Obama was stumping for Terry McAuliffe in Virginia as Terry McAuliffe is floundering in the polls.

00:07:16.000 Schools, schools, schools, everybody.

00:07:18.000 And I am proud to say on this show at the Charlie Kirk Show and our work at Turning Point USA, we have been on the cutting edge of the education issue.

00:07:26.000 We have always said this is the number one issue in the country.

00:07:29.000 And finally, people are waking up and realizing it.

00:07:31.000 And I am so happy to see this.

00:07:33.000 For anyone listening to this right now, maybe you're driving in your car in District 214 Chicago.

00:07:37.000 Maybe you are in Minneapolis.

00:07:39.000 Maybe you're in North Dakota.

00:07:41.000 I want to encourage you, show up to the school board meetings.

00:07:45.000 Show up to your local education planning sessions.

00:07:50.000 Care about what your kids are being taught.

00:07:52.000 Show up to the PTA meetings.

00:07:54.000 You are changing the political dynamic for the better in this country, where what used to be a deep blue state of Virginia is now looking like it very well could have a Republican governor.

00:08:05.000 And yes, there'll be shenanigans and tomfoolery and ballots being sent all over the place.

00:08:09.000 We very well might be disappointed.

00:08:12.000 But I'm flagging this right now, that we are what eight days out-ish, eight days out from the Virginia governor's race.

00:08:22.000 It's next Tuesday.

00:08:24.000 It's looking like this is going to be tighter than ever.

00:08:26.000 This should be a 10-point race, but because of schools, education, CRT, wokeism, not to mention the Loudoun County School District School Board moving the rapist, the man who thinks he was a woman who raped the ninth grader to another school who raped again.

00:08:43.000 But Obama says that's a trumped-up culture war.

00:08:47.000 Democrats are nervous.

00:08:48.000 They know the school issue is one of their greatest vulnerabilities.

00:08:52.000 Play cut five.

00:08:53.000 We don't have time to be wasting on these phony, trumped-up culture wars, this fake outrage that right-wing media's peddles to juice their ratings.

00:09:07.000 And the fact that he's willing to go along with it instead of talking about serious problems that actually affect serious people, that's a shame.

00:09:14.000 Serious problems that really affect serious people.

00:09:17.000 You mean like ninth-grade girls getting raped in Loudoun County schools are not serious issues, Barack Obama?

00:09:22.000 Not all of us can live in Martha's Vineyard and send the two spoiled brats that you call daughters to whatever Ivy League institution you want. 1.00

00:09:32.000 Yeah, you know, some people have to go to public school.

00:09:35.000 Your wife, Michelle Obama, would know something about that.

00:09:37.000 She went to Whitney Young in Chicago, was lucky enough to be a beneficiary of magnet schools and charter schools.

00:09:44.000 And she didn't have to go to some of the more difficult schools in Chicago, like going to Simeon or going to any of the schools that have much lower likelihood of actually achieving success.

00:09:55.000 But the Obama family actually was beneficiaries of school choice and of education mobility.

00:10:02.000 But he says this is fake outrage.

00:10:04.000 Right-wing media peddles to juice their ratings, trumped-up culture wars.

00:10:10.000 They're worried.

00:10:11.000 That clip of Obama, he's mad.

00:10:14.000 That's not the magnanimous Netflix Obama.

00:10:17.000 This is, no, this is like 2010.

00:10:20.000 This is like 2011, but 2011-ish, Obama.

00:10:23.000 Look, if there's a road or a bridge, you did not build that.

00:10:29.000 Somebody else made that happen.

00:10:33.000 They are bringing in the Obama cartel because they know that moms and dads are standing up in record numbers to take back their government.

00:10:46.000 And this is all tied into a very bizarre, unprecedented news item that happened late on Thursday or Friday, where the National School Board Association of America came out and they apologized for their letter.

00:11:03.000 The National School Board Association of America comes out and they apologized for issuing the letter that called moms and dads domestic terrorists.

00:11:14.000 Now, are they sorry for what they said or are they sorry for the backlash they're receiving?

00:11:19.000 Those are two totally different things.

00:11:21.000 Do they regret what they said or do they regret?

00:11:24.000 Do they regret the essence of what they said?

00:11:26.000 Or do they regret that all of a sudden they realize that they have only strengthened the anti-fragile school board movement?

00:11:32.000 And I think we pinpointed that on this show earlier than ever.

00:11:37.000 As you all know, there's been extensive media and other attention recently around our letter to President Biden regarding threats and acts of violence against school board members.

00:11:44.000 Their letter had almost zero notations of that.

00:11:46.000 Zero.

00:11:47.000 This came out on Friday evening, by the way.

00:11:49.000 They wanted a news dump.

00:11:50.000 We wanted to write you directly to address this matter.

00:11:52.000 On behalf of the National School Board Association, underlined, emphasized, we regret and apologize for the letter.

00:11:58.000 To be clear, the safety of school board members and other public school officials and educators and students is our top priority, and they remain important work to be done on this issue.

00:12:05.000 However, there is no justification for some of the language included in this letter.

00:12:09.000 We should have had a better process in place to allow for consultation on a communication of this significance.

00:12:15.000 We apologize also for the strain and stress the situation has caused you and your organization.

00:12:19.000 Yeah, you mean like the FBI?

00:12:22.000 Oh, by the way, we apologize that the Patriot Act is being used against like a 42-year-old mom in Loudoun County, Virginia that doesn't want her daughter to be raped.

00:12:30.000 But we'll have a better process in the future.

00:12:33.000 As we've reiterated since the letter was sent, we deeply, deeply value not only the work of local school boards that make important contributions within our communities, but also the voices of parents who should and must continue to be heard when it comes to discussions about their children's education, health, and safety.

00:12:48.000 We're going to be better moving forward, they say.

00:12:51.000 Democrats are in defense.

00:12:52.000 The school issue is number one.

00:12:53.000 We've exposed this regime.

00:12:55.000 We know how to beat them.

00:12:58.000 I've been telling you guys about Relief Factor for quite some time.

00:13:01.000 And truth is, I know millions of people are, in fact, 100 million people are in some kind of pain.

00:13:06.000 Look, producer Andrew, he couldn't walk.

00:13:07.000 He was a hobbled individual. 0.96

00:13:09.000 He was bedridden in his chair, complaining all the time.

00:13:13.000 And then all of a sudden, we got this call from Relief Factor.

00:13:16.000 They said, hey, we want to partner with your show.

00:13:18.000 We're going to send you some Relief Factor.

00:13:19.000 Producer Andrew got it.

00:13:21.000 He took it, got a little bit better, took some more, got a little bit better.

00:13:24.000 Next thing you know, he's doing the Fallsberry flop like you wouldn't believe.

00:13:27.000 In fact, he might be training for an Ironman.

00:13:30.000 Pretty, it's pretty incredible.

00:13:32.000 Now, he says it's thanks to Relief Factor.

00:13:34.000 I ask him all the time, Relief Factor?

00:13:35.000 He says relieffactor.com, 100% drug-free supplement.

00:13:38.000 You can get it for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day.

00:13:41.000 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.

00:13:46.000 And then after that, it's less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day to stay out of pain.

00:13:49.000 Go to relieffactor.com.

00:13:51.000 That is relieffactor.com.

00:13:53.000 I'm telling you, a lot of people are in pain.

00:13:54.000 It's 100% drug-free.

00:13:57.000 Don't go to these other things.

00:13:58.000 Check it out at relieffactor.com.

00:14:03.000 The school board issue has now turned into the defining political issue of this year.

00:14:10.000 The National School Board Association continues in their apology.

00:14:14.000 Now, this is a very important thing.

00:14:16.000 They're not apologizing because they regret what they said.

00:14:19.000 They apologize with the political fallout that has resulted from it because they declared war on moms and dads across the country, asking the government to use the Patriot Act.

00:14:31.000 And here's the most stunning thing: the government agreed.

00:14:34.000 Merrick Garland in front of the U.S. Congress, I don't even think he read the National School Board Association memorandum.

00:14:42.000 We were mentioned in it.

00:14:43.000 Turning Point USA was mentioned in it because of our school board watch list.

00:14:47.000 The National School Board Association continues with their Friday night apology.

00:14:51.000 We're going to do better going forward.

00:14:53.000 We're engaged in a formal review.

00:14:55.000 Let me just stop.

00:14:56.000 This is like vomit-inducing consultant diversity, equity, inclusion.

00:14:59.000 We're going to do better going forward.

00:15:01.000 It's all like workshop.

00:15:04.000 A formal review of our processes and procedures.

00:15:07.000 Okay, so what was the review of how this came out?

00:15:09.000 Was this some sort of 24-year-old brown-educated double mask-wearing non-binary intern that was like, I'm going to ask the government to use the Patriot Act? 1.00

00:15:19.000 Like, okay, that sounds a great idea.

00:15:20.000 What was the process?

00:15:22.000 We will announce specific improvements soon to ensure that there is improved coordination and consultation amongst our staff, our board, and our members across the country.

00:15:31.000 The review will include not only the procedures or the proceedings leading to this letter, but also other related concerns raised by members even before the letter was sent.

00:15:40.000 We'll have more to share with you soon after our review continues.

00:15:44.000 If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

00:15:46.000 Thank you.

00:15:47.000 They're not sorry.

00:15:48.000 They're not sorry at all.

00:15:49.000 They are in free fall.

00:15:51.000 The National School Board Association got revealed as an organization that views moms and dads like Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, and the Unabomber.

00:16:01.000 They view moms and dads showing up and complaining, exercising their First Amendment, the First Amendment rights.

00:16:07.000 It's like, okay, now let's go use the FBI against them.

00:16:10.000 Is the Department of Justice going to adjust their letter?

00:16:12.000 That's the real question, isn't it?

00:16:14.000 The Department of Justice is now willing to use federal police force to go after moms and dads that they don't like.

00:16:22.000 This is the issue that is changing the political dynamics in our country.

00:16:27.000 And how many times have we said on this show, Connor, school choice, school choice, school choice?

00:16:30.000 We need people to have transparency with their schools.

00:16:33.000 And Republicans were too busy talking about corporate tax cuts.

00:16:36.000 What else do Republicans talk about anymore?

00:16:38.000 I don't quite know, honestly.

00:16:40.000 Waste of time, most of them.

00:16:42.000 And so, but finally, there's this issue where, oh, this affects everybody, especially the current demographic that we are told that you're struggling with, suburban voters.

00:16:54.000 Now, this Virginia governor's race, if they hit their benchmarks with suburban voters that it looks like they're going to do in suburban Virginia, and they can run up the score in rural Virginia, Youngkin's going to win.

00:17:06.000 Now, again, they're going to have shenanigans and tomfoolery and all this.

00:17:09.000 We'll see kind of how that all plays out.

00:17:13.000 New emails have come out, though, around the Loudoun County, Virginia incident.

00:17:21.000 All the board members were informed that there was a male student posing as a female student who raped her, and then they did nothing about it.

00:17:32.000 In fact, they reallocated the male student.

00:17:35.000 Good afternoon, board members.

00:17:36.000 This is a new email that has been obtained.

00:17:39.000 The purpose of this email is to provide you with information regarding an incident that occurred at Stonebridge High School.

00:17:44.000 This afternoon, a female student alleged that a male student sexually assaulted her in the restroom.

00:17:48.000 The LCDSD is investigating the matter.

00:17:51.000 Secondary to the assault investigation, the female student's parents responded to the school and caused a disruption by using threatening and profane language that was overheard by staff and students.

00:18:00.000 Excuse me, if your daughter gets raped, I think some profane language is in store.

00:18:04.000 Yeah, I think a little bit of commotion is warranted. 0.74

00:18:07.000 Additional law enforcement units responded to the school to assist with the parent.

00:18:11.000 Oh, that's the real threat, right?

00:18:12.000 Not the rapist against the ninth grader, but the school board is like, okay, we need to deploy the shock troops against the father whose daughter was raped.

00:18:20.000 The school's counseling team is providing services from students who witnessed the parents' behavior.

00:18:24.000 The alleged victim is being tended to by LCSO.

00:18:28.000 The LCSO is investigating both incidents.

00:18:30.000 Further updates may not be available.

00:18:32.000 Here is Scott Ziegler, the head of the Loudoun County Public Schools, conflating a father who's upset that his daughter gets raped and the rape incident.

00:18:39.000 The Loudoun County Public Schools and Scott Ziegler, who should be in prison for criminal negligence and conspiracy against the children that he's sworn to protect.

00:18:39.000 And guess what?

00:18:47.000 He sends the man who thinks he was a woman to another school and they raped again.

00:18:52.000 That's the state of schools for Barack Hussein Obama, who says these are trumped up fake culture wars.

00:18:57.000 And the Democrat Party is collapsing in front of our very eyes.

00:19:00.000 Virginia's governor's race is one of the most important for them.

00:19:00.000 Make no mistake.

00:19:04.000 It's close to DC.

00:19:05.000 They want to make sure they're always in coordination and collusion.

00:19:08.000 There's tons of lobbyists that live there.

00:19:11.000 If we're able to pick this off, this is an earthquake harbinger political tsunami, things to come.

00:19:17.000 And it's all thanks to the schools.

00:19:19.000 Thanks to you.

00:19:20.000 You have the power to challenge these maniacs.

00:19:26.000 Internet privacy is extremely important.

00:19:28.000 New news out shows that Google has been colluding with the federal government to hand over your data if you might have searched something wrong into the search bar.

00:19:39.000 So what are you doing to protect your search history?

00:19:42.000 Well, this is why you need Express VPN.

00:19:45.000 Using the internet without Express VPN is like going to the bathroom and not closing the door.

00:19:51.000 It's in fact even worse than that.

00:19:52.000 It's inviting someone into the bathroom, which is really weird and creepy.

00:19:55.000 Internet service providers know every single website you visit.

00:19:58.000 ISPs can sell this data and information to ad companies and tech giants who then use your data to target you.

00:20:40.000 I have it on my iPad.

00:20:41.000 I have it on my computer.

00:20:43.000 Express VPN for me has been a game changer to be able to know that the tech companies or the government, they have to go through a whole nother barrier to try to spy on us.

00:20:54.000 When we see with the new announcements out of DC, if you've spoke at a school board meeting lately, you better get a VPN.

00:21:00.000 Secure your online activity by visiting expressvpn.com/slash Charlie today.

00:21:19.000 Merrick Garland admitted that the faux letter, the fake letter, the concocted artificial complaint from the National School Board Association was the reason why he said that we're going to start using the FBI to go after moms and dads.

00:21:33.000 Jim Jordan, one of the few good guys in Congress, great friend, phenomenal person.

00:21:37.000 Cut 23, he's been all over it.

00:21:38.000 Play tape.

00:21:40.000 So I read the letter, and we have been seeing over time threats.

00:21:44.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:21:45.000 I didn't ask you.

00:21:46.000 So you read the letter.

00:21:47.000 That's your source.

00:21:48.000 So let me be clear.

00:21:50.000 This is not a prosecution or an.

00:21:52.000 Is there some study, some effort, some investigation someone did that said there's been a disturbing uptake, or you just take the words of the National School Board Association?

00:21:59.000 When the National School Board Association, which represents thousands of school boards and school board members, says that there are these kinds of threats.

00:22:07.000 And now the National School Board Association is not just a little bit apologizing.

00:22:11.000 You read this letter from the National School Board Association.

00:22:14.000 This is a full-on French-style retreat.

00:22:16.000 I mean, they are going back to their villages.

00:22:19.000 They are done.

00:22:20.000 The National School Board Association is surrendering.

00:22:22.000 They are waving the white flag.

00:22:24.000 You read this letter from the National School Board Association, they send on Friday retracting the other one.

00:22:28.000 They're like, we're done.

00:22:29.000 We are suing for peace.

00:22:31.000 We're sorry.

00:22:32.000 Because yes, even Democrat moms and dads are reading this National School Board Association letter and saying, wait, what a sec?

00:22:37.000 Hold on, what?

00:22:39.000 I know some of these people just showing up and complaining that are wondering and worrying about the direction of our schools.

00:22:45.000 And now you're going to go use the Patriot Act against them?

00:22:48.000 Like, we're not going to put up with that.

00:22:52.000 So we know the direction of where this is going.

00:22:56.000 And the next move, of course, is a full-on propaganda campaign from the media to try and blur the lines.

00:23:03.000 They did this through a new podcast they have called South Lake NPR National Public Radio came out and they said that they had this whole article over the weekend where they came out and they said, this is what it's like to be on the front lines of the American culture war with this mother.

00:23:21.000 And she had a picture of their daughter with her back turned to the camera as if she couldn't even look into the eyes of the camera because it's so difficult to be a school board member. 0.98

00:23:30.000 Well, guess what?

00:23:31.000 If you're not up to the task of being challenged for putting in critical race theory or pornographic material, then resign.

00:23:39.000 This is the new front lines.

00:23:41.000 Cut 22, there's nothing in this memorandum which has any effect on the kinds of curriculum that are taught or the ability of parents to complain.

00:23:50.000 Mike Johnson going back and forth with Merrick Garland, play cut 22.

00:23:54.000 And I want to be clear once again that there's nothing in this memorandum which has any effect on the kinds of curriculums that are taught or the ability of parents to complain about the kinds of understand your position on this free speech appearance.

00:24:10.000 Wait, just a minute.

00:24:12.000 So they the ruling class, the educational cartel, they're not really even sure how to deal with this.

00:24:19.000 And the Loudoun County schools, now being the battleground swing state of the entire state of Virginia, they transferred a boy to different high schools where three months later he rapes another child.

00:24:31.000 He dressed as a girl, assaulted and then sodomized a child in the bathroom.

00:24:36.000 The school board and the superintendent covers it up and told the parents when they were voting on the new trans policy that everything's fine.

00:24:43.000 And then they say the biggest threat is actually the father who's showing up and complaining.

00:24:47.000 This issue is changing political dynamics in our country for the better.

00:24:52.000 We're finally taking back local government.

00:24:54.000 We're finally looking less at Congress and more at the local schools.

00:24:57.000 And Democrats are very worried about that.

00:24:59.000 Democrats have never wanted states or localities, municipalities or cities to take their rightful place in the partnership of a federal contract that actually is the state's greater the federal government.

00:25:10.000 The federal government did not create the states.

00:25:13.000 So many people, including a lot of people listening to my voice right now in North Dakota, maybe in Idaho, maybe in South Dakota, Wyoming, we have been lied to by the propagandists, by the people in charge, to believe that the states have very little to no power.

00:25:31.000 The states actually have the authority and the sovereignty not delegated to the United States Constitution.

00:25:36.000 Read the 10th Amendment. 0.52

00:25:38.000 Any powers will then be left to the states and to the people.

00:25:41.000 And we have been overly propagandized to look at Washington, D.C., to look at Silicon Valley for our solutions, but not anymore.

00:25:50.000 And that's what's so unique and fascinating, to be perfectly honest with you, about this school board story.

00:25:56.000 That's what's so special about the school board story, is that its moms and dads are like, yeah, I get that whole thing.

00:26:03.000 No more.

00:26:05.000 You know, we're finishing an essay here and we're going to be publishing it soon, a long essay.

00:26:09.000 It'll be a booklet called How We Win.

00:26:11.000 It was inspired by some very favorable reaction with the speech I gave over the summer about how we win.

00:26:16.000 And part of it is influencing buildings that you drive by every single day.

00:26:21.000 Meaning, if you drive by city council, you drive by a school board meeting, go worry about that building a lot more than the one that you see on TV, the distant one, the Congress.

00:26:29.000 Instead, focus on the places that are having meaningful impact on the things that you actually interact with every single day.

00:26:38.000 And elections locally have consequences.

00:26:41.000 And I want to see more Republican governors start to step up the way that Ron DeSantis has in Florida.

00:26:47.000 Ron DeSantis has been hitting home run after home run.

00:26:51.000 Why every Republican governor in the country is not like Ron DeSantis is beyond me.

00:26:55.000 There's a few very good Republican governors.

00:26:57.000 Governor Gianforte in Montana is doing a great job.

00:27:01.000 Ron DeSantis is right up there, though.

00:27:03.000 Being in the battleground state of Florida, he is saying that we are not going to stand for vaccine mandates.

00:27:08.000 We will stand for medical freedom.

00:27:09.000 We'll stand for the liberty of our citizens.

00:27:11.000 And Ron DeSantis has now announced he is seeking to create legislation that will reward a $5,000 bonus to unvaccinated police officers who relocate to Florida.

00:27:22.000 He's literally trying to hire police officers from Washington and Oregon.

00:27:26.000 Someone give this man a parade. 0.98

00:27:29.000 This is what leadership looks like.

00:27:31.000 Play cut 16.

00:27:32.000 So in the next legislative session, I'm going to hopefully sign legislation that gives a $5,000 bonus to any out-of-state law enforcement that relocates in Florida.

00:27:41.000 So NYPD, Minneapolis, Seattle, if you're not being treated well, we'll treat you better here.

00:27:46.000 You can fill important needs for us, and we'll compensate you as a result.

00:27:50.000 So, if you are a police officer in the city of Seattle or in the city of Portland, and you're saying, Man, my life has been ruined because I don't want to get vaccinated, Florida will pay you to move to Florida.

00:28:03.000 How cool is that?

00:28:04.000 That is leadership.

00:28:05.000 That is creativity.

00:28:06.000 That's a state-based model to solution.

00:28:08.000 The similar as the way the Nebraska Attorney General says we are going to allow Iver Mectin to be prescribed, same as Jeff Landry in Louisiana, same sort of thing.

00:28:18.000 Now, I want to get to this story, and do we have the full Alex Berenson?

00:28:21.000 Can we have the full Alex Berenson clip?

00:28:22.000 I know it's like two minutes long, but it's worth it.

00:28:26.000 We'll play the short one.

00:28:27.000 But I saw this clip on Tucker Carlson's show, and Alex Berenson is a national treasure.

00:28:35.000 We've been trying to get him on our program for quite some time.

00:28:38.000 We've been covering this alongside Tucker Carlson and very few others.

00:28:42.000 But Alex Berenson went on Tucker's show and reported that all deaths are up, not just COVID deaths, but overdoses, cardiac arrests.

00:28:52.000 There is a stunning increase in just overall deaths in our country, and no one really wants to explain it.

00:28:58.000 No one really wants to look into it.

00:29:00.000 You think that might be a little bit more important into Trump's golf game in Mar-a-Lago?

00:29:06.000 Like, which one's more important?

00:29:09.000 And the media, if they were worth anything, which of course they're not, they're a cartel of propagandists.

00:29:14.000 They would say, wait a second, why are more people dying after a mass vaccination campaign?

00:29:19.000 I'm not connecting the two, okay?

00:29:21.000 We've got to ask the question.

00:29:24.000 This is just a small clip.

00:29:25.000 The two-minute clip is beyond compelling.

00:29:28.000 But this is just a very simple question that needs to be said out loud and said slowly so journalists can understand you.

00:29:34.000 Why are more people dying in every single category?

00:29:39.000 Why is no one looking into this?

00:29:41.000 Play cut 15.

00:29:42.000 But in the last few months, even as COVID deaths fell in the spring, deaths in that age group remain very high in the U.S.

00:29:49.000 This is, and again, there's a couple possibilities.

00:29:52.000 One possibility is that some COVID deaths are being miscounted, although we count COVID deaths very aggressively.

00:29:57.000 Another possibility is that it's these lockdown/slash drug overdose deaths, although Europe doesn't have nearly the problem that we do with that.

00:30:06.000 Another possibility, and I hesitate even to say this out loud, Tucker, because I know what the response will be, is that this is cardiac-related and it is something to do with the mass vaccination campaigns.

00:30:17.000 Alex Berenson worked for the New York Times.

00:30:20.000 He was a reporter and is not some sort of right-wing journalist.

00:30:28.000 He's wrote phenomenal stories, one after the other.

00:30:32.000 And now, of course, he's being attacked from every single direction.

00:30:35.000 Alex Berenson has an amazing unrelated book, by the way, called Tell Your Children, The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence.

00:30:44.000 For those of you that are really pro-weed and pro-marijuana, you need to read Alex Berenson's book.

00:30:48.000 It will make you reconsider the legalization of marijuana.

00:30:51.000 It's terrific.

00:30:52.000 It's very, very compelling.

00:30:54.000 But Berenson is now coming out and he's saying, why is no one talking about the sudden and inexplicable increase in deaths across America?

00:31:09.000 That's a really interesting story if anyone can kind of figure that out.

00:31:13.000 And of course, Berenson goes there with the mass vaccination campaign.

00:31:17.000 I'm not even trying to connect the two because you have causation and correlation you don't know.

00:31:22.000 But you do look at the United Kingdom numbers lately that have come out.

00:31:25.000 They're awful.

00:31:26.000 Majority of their deaths are fully vaccinated.

00:31:30.000 And yes, part of this entire equation is why are we not even allowed to talk about the untreated aspect of this?

00:31:41.000 So Berenson is right over the target here.

00:31:45.000 And if you go look at our public health authorities, oh, I'm sorry, Fauci's too busy torturing beagles, I guess.

00:31:50.000 He's too busy letting like Tunisian flies eat dogs alive, then saying, Why are death rates going up?

00:31:59.000 There's an embargo on the truth, is what is happening.

00:32:03.000 Of course, this program, we try to cut right through that.

00:32:07.000 But I want your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:32:09.000 Why do you think deaths are going up in every single category?

00:32:11.000 Cardiac arrest, hospital-related illnesses, medical malpractice, drug overdoses.

00:32:19.000 Is it lockdown-related?

00:32:20.000 Are there some other factors relating to it?

00:32:22.000 Anytime deaths spike the way they have, there should be just kind of a timeout.

00:32:26.000 And we need an aggressive and we need a factual non-political investigation just to figure this out.

00:33:38.000 We got two stories I want to get to.

00:33:40.000 Ron DeSantis is just letting loose on Fauci.

00:33:42.000 I think we're getting that tape as I talk, right?

00:33:45.000 We're going to, we'll end with that.

00:33:46.000 But first, I want to get, I'm not, I'm not, we don't spend a lot of time on this show on tax policy.

00:33:52.000 As you know, I'm kind of bored with that whole thing: 28% corporate tax versus 25% tax policies.

00:33:57.000 Obviously, taxes are too high, and we prefer free market solutions.

00:34:00.000 But I don't like the overemphasis on that.

00:34:02.000 With that being said, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has just proposed something that is so beyond anything that we have seen in the tax realm.

00:34:15.000 It is something that deserves outrage, and we need to contact our officials.

00:34:19.000 We have to say this is a no-go zone.

00:34:20.000 I actually think even the most moderate Republican won't go for this.

00:34:24.000 I really do.

00:34:24.000 I think moderate Democrats as well.

00:34:26.000 And this was kind of just like snuck in.

00:34:28.000 And of course, I think she was on CNBC, right?

00:34:30.000 The charlatans on CNBC, of course, didn't say anything.

00:34:33.000 So play cut three.

00:34:34.000 I want you to listen to this.

00:34:36.000 I totally understand if you don't really understand the implications of this, so I'll help you through it.

00:34:40.000 But once you kind of see the whole picture, we've never had a tax proposal like this.

00:34:46.000 Not even Elizabeth Warren has proposed anything like this.

00:34:49.000 Play cut three.

00:34:50.000 Senator Wyden and the Senate Finance Committee have been looking at that would impose a tax on unrealized capital gains on liquid assets held by extremely wealthy individuals, billionaires.

00:35:10.000 Unrealized capital gains.

00:35:14.000 So what would that be?

00:35:15.000 If your home appreciates $50,000 in value, you now have to pay the gains on that asset.

00:35:22.000 Now, she says liquid assets.

00:35:24.000 That's a bunch of nonsense.

00:35:25.000 So if you make any money in the stock market and you don't sell that stock, she's now saying, no, you should still have to, unrealized, meaning you have not yet sold it.

00:35:33.000 You haven't yet liquidated it.

00:35:34.000 You haven't yet realized that gain.

00:35:36.000 Do you know how many unrealized gains people have in every single capacity?

00:35:41.000 You'd have to take an inventory of your art, of your clothes, of everything you have.

00:35:46.000 Let's say you're a farmer.

00:35:47.000 This is a good example.

00:35:48.000 Let's say you're a farmer in Iowa or North Dakota.

00:35:51.000 Unrealized liquid assets.

00:35:54.000 So, yes, you have a farm that you then appreciates in value.

00:36:00.000 You have to pay tax on the gains, even though you haven't sold the farm.

00:36:05.000 So, the margins are thin as is.

00:36:07.000 They want to confiscate the wealth that you have, not just the, and I'm not even a huge fan of capital gains tax as it is.

00:36:16.000 That's a different conversation for a different time.

00:36:17.000 I think it should be adjusted based on income, but because if you're earning $50,000 a year and you hit it big on the stock market, I don't think that you should pay a 35%, what is capital gains, 25% now?

00:36:27.000 25% more or less.

00:36:30.000 We've got to keep our eyes on this.

00:36:31.000 The current tax policy that's being proposed by this regime is wealth confiscation.

00:36:36.000 And of course, it will hurt the middle income tax.

00:36:38.000 You know why?

00:36:39.000 Just say, oh, it'll go after billionaires.

00:36:41.000 They will be able to find deductions and loopholes through green energy scams that will be accompanied with it.

00:36:46.000 So they will not have to pay those sort of tax rates.

00:36:48.000 But the people that are earning $100,000 or $200,000 a year, they'll be slammed by this.

00:36:52.000 Play cut 24.

00:36:53.000 Last thing, Ron DeSantis just loses his mind on Fauci with one of the greatest rants in the last couple months.

00:37:00.000 Where is every Republican governor like DeSantis? 0.99

00:37:03.000 They're cowards. 1.00

00:37:04.000 Most Republicans are cowards. 1.00

00:37:05.000 Ron DeSantis is courageous and he is a hero. 0.99

00:37:09.000 Play tape.

00:37:10.000 I cannot believe American tax dollars would go to treat those dogs the way those dogs would be treated.

00:37:16.000 And, you know, I really think Fauci needs to be held accountable.

00:37:20.000 These people, these bureaucrats, they don't get to just run wild and do whatever the hell they want to with our tax dollars. 1.00

00:37:26.000 And so from funding gain of function research to treating these puppies with really unimaginable cruelty, I think that whole lot of them need to be cleaned out.

00:37:38.000 And DeSantis gets to the core of it.

00:37:41.000 He gets to the core by saying bureaucrats, the unelected, unchecked branch of government, they don't just get to do whatever they want.

00:37:51.000 But Fauci believes he can.

00:37:54.000 Fauci believes, at the head of the NIH CDC, being the mad scientist that he is, he believes that he can orchestrate and manipulate the levers of the federal government to his liking and his choosing.

00:38:15.000 Fauci needs to be subpoenaed in front of Congress immediately, and we need to find out how many dogs were tortured, how many beagles were tortured.

00:38:23.000 And does he get some sort of sadistic pleasure off of this?

00:38:25.000 These are very legitimate questions.

00:38:27.000 But Ron DeSantis hits it perfectly.

00:38:29.000 The fourth branch of government, we have the executive, we have the legislative, the judicial, and the administrative state.

00:38:34.000 The administrative state combines the power of all three branches into one.

00:38:39.000 Time to hold them accountable, especially Anthony Fauci.
