00:01:13.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:01.000Now, we've done a fair amount of work in the fields of where this word science came from and why the cult of science has dominated American life over the last two years.
00:02:13.000The idea of being able to master the natural world and the human condition through scientific inquiry is nothing new.
00:02:22.000Science absent of morality is how you get some of the most horrific totalitarian dictatorships like the National Socialist Workers' Party in Germany or the USSR.
00:02:32.000Much of it was derived from the Industrial Revolution where the Germans themselves, with Hegel and then Marx, they looked at science as a means to the end.
00:02:42.000All we need is groups of experts in walled-off rooms that had a lot of power and they were able to organize society the way they saw fit.
00:02:56.000Now, if you look at kind of the push towards the acceptance of the term science over the last 20 or 30 years, there's been some primary actors that have been behind this.
00:03:09.000One of which is Bill Mai, the science guy.
00:03:13.000If you grew up in public schools like I did, starting in sixth grade, I went to public school in the suburbs of Chicago.
00:03:19.000Almost once a week, I would say, there was almost an infomercial that was shown with Bill Mai, the science guy, talking about how cool science was.
00:03:33.000He would talk about all sorts of different kinds of wrinkles in the natural world that we have discovered.
00:03:40.000And science was platformed in the eyes of young people, in some ways rightfully, in some ways dangerously, as an irrefutable pinnacle of human existence.
00:03:52.000The science, as it's been told over the last couple of years, especially, is something we cannot question.
00:04:06.000Now, I've been doing some thinking about this, and I realized why this was so persuasive to most of the American population, the world population, is because they were actually conflating two things.
00:04:19.000When people hear the term science, They immediately think, well, E equals M, C squared, or gravity, or that we have a round earth, or the heliocentric theory of gravitational pull, or force equals mass times acceleration, or the second law of thermodynamics, or an object at rest will stay at rest, or for every action there's equal and opposite reaction.
00:04:39.000Those things are what Thomas Jefferson would call the laws of nature and of nature's God.
00:04:49.000However, over the last couple years the public health experts intentionally went on a conflation strategy.
00:04:56.000They blurred and they blended and they conflated the things we know about the natural world, such as scientific equations of how to measure our proximity to the sun or gravitational pull, to things we don't know about the natural world.
00:06:12.000Because we allowed our language to become so sloppy and we allowed people in charge to use the word science to describe what was nothing more than a theory.
00:06:21.000We allowed a group of unelected experts to redesign western civilization as we know it, but now they're backtracking, backtracking.
00:06:30.000They're backpacking like, well yeah, science changes all the time.
00:07:05.000There was a and is a time and place for pandemic restrictions, but when they were put in it was always with the understanding that they would be removed as soon as we can.
00:07:16.000And in this case circumstances have changed.
00:07:56.000It was like Chernobyl, where science failed us.
00:08:00.000You know, there are many examples of where science has been totally wrong.
00:08:07.000If you look into one particular study, have you ever heard of what a neutrino is?
00:08:14.000Well, a neutrino are weird little flyweight subatomic particles.
00:08:18.000They zip through space faster than even Usain Bolt running for the gold medal.
00:08:27.000In 2011, scientists claimed that neutrinos, when timed, how long it took from them to fly to one atom to another, they were actually faster than the speed of light.
00:08:40.000This made international news that there is something faster than light.
00:08:45.000Now, in 2012, other scientists decided to actually check this research study.
00:09:26.000Galileo did it in 1610 to challenge an orthodox belief and actually become to a heterodox, well-accepted mathematical equation of the natural world.
00:10:51.000You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:10:53.000They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:11:00.000So here's the deal: if you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.
00:11:50.000Cut 46, Dr. Wen continues to say that it's time for government restrictions to end and shift to individual responsibility.
00:12:00.000I want you to imagine the state our country would be in if our leaders would have been able to say this back in spring of 2020, play cut 46.
00:12:12.000And we also know about one-way masking, the idea that even if other people around you are not wearing masks, if you wear a high-quality mask, that also protects you, the wearer, too.
00:12:22.000And so in this case, I'm not saying, I don't think anyone really is saying that no one should ever wear masks, but rather that the responsibility should shift from a government mandate imposed from the state or the local district of the school.
00:12:34.000Rather, it should shift to an individual responsibility by the family who can still decide that their child can wear a mask if needed.
00:12:42.000Individual responsibility, you mean like deciding whether or not people need to get vaccines or not?
00:12:48.000Individual responsibility, like whether or not people should wear a mask or not?
00:12:52.000There's only one reason why she's saying this.
00:13:01.000Dr. Wen has been deployed by the left to try and move the Overton window for scared suburban moms to allow Democrat governors and mayors to lift COVID restrictions to try to resurrect the plummeting poll numbers and popularity.
00:13:17.000The science has definitely not changed at all.
00:13:23.000We're dealing with an invisible pathogen.
00:13:25.000That is not a significant risk to a vast majority of the population.
00:13:30.000We now have more treatments than ever before.
00:13:32.000Vitamin D levels very well could have been an effective strategy for most of the population to engage in.
00:13:39.000But she's worried not about the pandemic.
00:13:43.000No, no, Dr. Wen, as instructed by her puppet masters and the people in charge of her, she's former head of Planned Parenthood, so she is basically a primary member of team left as they say we need her to go on CNN, say something newsworthy and outrageous because we are paying a political price for locking down the country.
00:14:05.000So she needs to give permission for other mayors and governors to be able to open the country back up again.
00:14:12.000But they still, they're not on the same page here.
00:14:16.000But they're now going to be crediting Biden for reopening the country.
00:14:41.000That's because under President Biden's leadership, a public health infrastructure was put into place, beginning with the American Rescue Plan without a single Republican vote to ensure that we can do everything possible to crush the virus.
00:15:18.000And we've been talking about two different things that they've intentionally blended and blurred together.
00:15:24.000You can look in science very simply like this.
00:15:26.000There is the known and there is the unknown.
00:15:29.000Now, if you're as bold to try to challenge the known, you better have your facts right.
00:15:33.000Galileo did that, and he was imprisoned for quite some time for challenging the scholastic consensus of the Orthodox belief that the earth was the center of planetary movement in our galaxy.
00:15:49.000Copernicus hypothesized at first, but he ended up being correct.
00:15:55.000But invoking and constantly saying, we trust the science, we trust the science, actually prevents what science is all about.
00:17:47.000Teacher union boss Randy Whitgarten says she'll only support unmasking children when there is zero COVID transmission or an 80% vaccination rate.
00:17:59.000So we're at 63% of the country vaccinated.
00:18:02.000Now, teacher union boss Randy Whitegarten, she is a thug.
00:18:15.000There's many wonderful teachers out there.
00:18:17.000Teacher unions are no different than the same sort of cartel gangs that are running drugs into our country.
00:18:25.000And I use that comparison totally and completely on purpose.
00:18:30.000The teacher unions have so significantly failed millions, tens of millions of people that have gone through the institutions that they run.
00:18:42.000Public sector teacher unions continue to pay bad teachers, awful teachers, regardless of their behavior or of their lack of interest in actually educating children.
00:19:01.000Public sector teacher unions want the schools closed and they want the kids masked.
00:19:08.000Everything that the teacher union does is at the bidding of the globalist Democrat Party.
00:19:16.000Now, teacher union boss Randy Whitgarten, who lives a life of luxury and convenience, she's getting increasingly worried that the homeschooling population has doubled in the last year.
00:19:28.000She's very worried that charter schools and private schools are growing.
00:19:31.000Randy Whitegarten, she's probably top 10 of the people that have done the most damage to America over the last decade.
00:19:41.000There are schools in Baltimore where they can't not find a single child that can read at grade level.
00:19:47.000But don't worry, Randy Whitegarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, she's getting paid in full.
00:19:53.000I am in favor of an off-ramp on masks.
00:19:57.000The real issue becomes: is the spread low enough so that there's no dissemination or transmission in schools?
00:20:08.000That's why I like what Massachusetts has done because what they've said is that on a school-by-school basis, they said if there's 80% vaccination rates, then those schools can lift the mandates.
00:20:21.000Even though there is evidence to show the more vaccinated you are, the more the virus is actually being transmissed or transmission.
00:20:29.000Israel's a great example, Gibraltar or Singapore.
00:20:33.000They just pull this data point out of nowhere as if the vaccine is stopping transmission.
00:20:38.000Now, you might be able to say, because there's mixed data on this, well, the vaccine can help as an injectable therapeutic.
00:20:46.000Basically, she's saying that we're never going to reopen schools with kids without masks on.
00:20:53.000Randy Whitegarten should be much more concerned about a certain high school in Baltimore that was just revealed to show that 77% of high schoolers are reading at kindergarten level.
00:21:55.000It's detrimental to the emotional and the spiritual health of a nation.
00:21:59.000Listen to this of a video of a mom explaining about how when her daughter went to school without a mask, the teacher was shocked to see her face and couldn't even recognize the child.
00:22:43.000So a new study finds that children have a more difficult time recognizing faces that are masks than adults.
00:22:50.000The study's author says, quote, if holistic processing is impaired and recognition is impaired, there's a possibility it could impair children's ability to navigate through social interactions with their peers and teachers.
00:23:03.000And this could lead to issues forming important relationships given the importance of faces to social interactions.
00:23:13.000So if the evidence is so overwhelming, why are there still mask mandates?
00:23:27.000And number two, there are people at the top level that have a diabolical agenda to interrupt the natural maturation process of children to create them to be government addicted and tech addicted, government-dependent and tech addicted and medicated for the rest of their life.
00:23:44.000Now, would it be too far to conjecture that the pharmaceutical companies really want kids to walk around with masks all day long?
00:23:51.000Makes them more anxious, more depressed, less confident.
00:23:55.000Well, that's great for the pill pushers that work for Pfizer that are trying to medicate your children anyway.
00:24:02.000You see, instead of actually trying to solve problems, why wouldn't the pharmaceutical companies be trying to push conditions that make your seven-year-old or your 10-year-old or your 15-year-old less likely to be confident, less likely to stand on their own?
00:24:16.000The amount of prescriptions that are written for antidepressants is skyrocketing.
00:24:22.000If you are in the business of creating antidepressants, you are printing money right now.
00:24:27.000Most of which, of course, is covered by insurance or other means.
00:24:31.000That mother from Connecticut, Jennifer Orr, continues in Cut 37 saying how children have to choose between masking or foggy glasses, impeding their learning, and how masks aren't worn properly most of the time anyway.
00:24:41.000It's also creating subjects, not citizens.
00:24:47.000A generation similar, and I will use a comparison here that will definitely get some headlines.
00:24:56.000And then everyone just kind of stares.
00:24:58.000It's exactly how children are raised in North Korea.
00:25:03.000Yemeni Park, when she joined both Joe Rogan and Dennis Prager, a North Korean defector, she said, I didn't even know how to think for myself.
00:25:13.000Thinking for 10 minutes was exhausting.
00:25:17.000If you condition a generation to not be self-reliant, to not even have their own identity, it creates an entire generation that will always do what they're told regardless of the circumstances.
00:26:15.000Let's say administrators and teachers that do not take care of themselves and they're super afraid of getting a trans so they want everyone else to be masked to protect themselves because they took too many trips to Wendy's.
00:26:28.000Destroy the kids' life so you could feel better about yourself.
00:26:33.000Look, a lot of people did not even make resolutions this year.
00:26:37.000I kind of get it, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't still find a way to shake things up, whether it's by switching up your workout routine or going someplace new.
00:26:44.000Whatever way you challenge yourself this new year, there's no better way to do it than with a pair of Raycon wireless earbuds.
00:26:50.000Raycon wireless earbuds are the best way to bring audio with you because no matter how much you shake things up, literally no matter how much you shake, you know they won't fall out of your ears.
00:26:58.000Their everyday earbuds look, feel, and sound better than ever.
00:27:02.000There's also awareness mode for when you need to listen to your surroundings so they can take Raycons with you wherever you go.
00:27:07.000Raycons offer eight hours of playtime and 32 hours of battery life.
00:27:10.000Producer Connor, producer Andrew, producer Jake, they all love Raycons, and it's no wonder Raycon's everyday earbuds have 48,000 five-star reviews.
00:27:19.000Right now, the Charlie Kirk show listeners can get 15% off their Raycon orders at buyraycon.com slash Kirk.
00:27:34.000I am just so proud of our Turning Point USA chapters across the country, especially in some of the states that have these ridiculous mask mandates.
00:27:43.000It's a working list and it's expanding.
00:27:45.000I just want to shout out our amazing Turning Point USA chapter leaders at the following schools: Bonita High School in Laverne, California.
00:27:52.000Woodgrove High School in Percival, Virginia, Chino Hills High School in Chino Hills, California.
00:27:58.000I bet it's connected to Jack Hibbs Church right there.
00:28:37.000So we are on the front lines at Turning Point USA to empower these high school students to push back against these mask mandates.
00:28:46.000And I can't imagine there's a lot of people in our audience that are enthusiastic about masks in general, but even if you are, it's a mask mandate.
00:30:28.000She says in Hebrew, no more mask mandates, and the kids start cheering and they start ripping the masks forcibly, just tearing them apart.
00:30:37.000And what we're seeing in these high schools, and these are not led by parents, now many of them have parent support, the list that I just said, the Turning Point USA list.
00:30:44.000But you're starting to see students start to push back against this.
00:30:48.000And at Turning Point USA, the list is growing and growing and growing by the day.
00:32:01.000They are pushing back against these unconstitutional and immoral mandates.
00:32:07.000And to summarize all this together, when Dr. Wen says, oh, the science has changed, no, the politics has changed, and the people are rising up.
00:32:15.000As we say on this show, the citizen is rising.
00:32:19.000That's why all of a sudden they're lifting these restrictions.
00:32:21.000And it will just be a matter of days, if not weeks, where Illinois capitulates.
00:32:27.000I know that area very well, the suburbs of Chicago.
00:32:29.000And you have kids in school, empower them and encourage them to fight back against these mask mandates.
