The Charlie Kirk Show - Why You Should Stop "Trusting the Science"

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, Trust the Science.

00:00:02.000 Well, what does that mean?

00:00:04.000 There is a big lie behind that phrase.

00:00:07.000 And we unpack the changing science.

00:00:10.000 It's kind of funny how that works.

00:00:12.000 In a very important episode of the Charlie Kirk Show, we encourage you to listen to this all the way through and send it to your friends.

00:00:52.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:54.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:56.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:00.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:03.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:04.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:05.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:12.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:01:13.000 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.

00:01:22.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:25.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:34.000 How many times have you heard we have to trust the science?

00:01:37.000 That the science is settled.

00:01:39.000 You have to wear two masks.

00:01:40.000 You have to get vaccines plus boosters.

00:01:43.000 You must stay at home.

00:01:44.000 You must shower with a mask.

00:01:46.000 The science is settled.

00:01:48.000 How many times have you seen the signs on the side of highways sponsored by pharmaceutical companies?

00:01:53.000 We trust the science around here.

00:01:55.000 Nancy Pelosi to Joe Biden to Chuck Schumer.

00:01:58.000 We are the pro-science party.

00:02:01.000 Now, 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.

00:02:13.000 The idea of being able to master the natural world and the human condition through scientific inquiry is nothing new.

00:02:22.000 Science 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.

00:02:32.000 Much 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.

00:02:42.000 All 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.

00:02:52.000 They know better than you.

00:02:56.000 Now, 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.

00:03:09.000 One of which is Bill Mai, the science guy.

00:03:13.000 If you grew up in public schools like I did, starting in sixth grade, I went to public school in the suburbs of Chicago.

00:03:19.000 Almost 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.

00:03:29.000 He would do chemistry experiments.

00:03:30.000 He would do physics demonstrations.

00:03:33.000 He would talk about all sorts of different kinds of wrinkles in the natural world that we have discovered.

00:03:40.000 And science was platformed in the eyes of young people, in some ways rightfully, in some ways dangerously, as an irrefutable pinnacle of human existence.

00:03:52.000 The science, as it's been told over the last couple of years, especially, is something we cannot question.

00:03:59.000 We cannot dive into.

00:04:01.000 The science is unchanging.

00:04:06.000 Now, 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.

00:04:19.000 When 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.

00:04:39.000 Those things are what Thomas Jefferson would call the laws of nature and of nature's God.

00:04:45.000 And yes, those things are science.

00:04:49.000 However, over the last couple years the public health experts intentionally went on a conflation strategy.

00:04:56.000 They 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.

00:05:14.000 By saying we just trust science.

00:05:16.000 They were preying on people's understanding that some things we have figured out.

00:05:23.000 Now in cut 45 you'll hear dr Wen now.

00:05:26.000 Dr Wen, I believe, used to work for Planned Parenthood.

00:05:29.000 She now is on CNN every so often and what she said was totally extraordinary.

00:05:35.000 But I want you to listen carefully.

00:05:37.000 She says quote, circumstances have changed and the science has changed.

00:05:45.000 She says the science has changed.

00:05:48.000 How many times in the last couple years have we been trying to question the science?

00:05:53.000 Now we need to start using different terms.

00:05:57.000 No one on the center right, including myself, ever questioned the natural law.

00:06:01.000 We never questioned force equals mass times acceleration.

00:06:04.000 We never questioned whether or not the earth was round.

00:06:06.000 We were questioning something else.

00:06:09.000 We were questioning a hypothesis.

00:06:12.000 Because 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.

00:06:21.000 We allowed a group of unelected experts to redesign western civilization as we know it, but now they're backtracking, backtracking.

00:06:30.000 They're backpacking like, well yeah, science changes all the time.

00:06:32.000 Well, now they admit it.

00:06:33.000 Of course it does.

00:06:35.000 Never were they open-minded which scientists are supposed to be?

00:06:38.000 But hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin azithromycin, early intervention, intravenous therapy aspirin, melatonin no.

00:06:48.000 But instead they acted as if mandatory masking, cloth masks, staying at home, coming in contact with no one and locking down civilization.

00:06:56.000 We know that as certain, as we know the quadratic equation play cut 45.

00:07:01.000 Do you agree with the move?

00:07:04.000 I do.

00:07:05.000 There 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.

00:07:16.000 And in this case circumstances have changed.

00:07:18.000 Case counts are declining.

00:07:20.000 Also, the science has changed.

00:07:22.000 We know that vaccines protect very well against Omicron, which is the dominant variant.

00:07:26.000 Everyone five and older have widespread access to vaccines.

00:07:31.000 The science has not changed.

00:07:33.000 Her hypothesis and her theory has changed.

00:07:38.000 Those are two totally different things.

00:07:40.000 The natural law does not change.

00:07:44.000 There have been mutations of this virus, but it acts very similarly where early interventions work.

00:07:50.000 Where the mitigation strategy early, she is unafraid to say, no, it was actually a complete and total disaster.

00:07:54.000 We got the equation wrong.

00:07:56.000 It was like Chernobyl, where science failed us.

00:08:00.000 You know, there are many examples of where science has been totally wrong.

00:08:07.000 If you look into one particular study, have you ever heard of what a neutrino is?

00:08:14.000 Well, a neutrino are weird little flyweight subatomic particles.

00:08:18.000 They zip through space faster than even Usain Bolt running for the gold medal.

00:08:27.000 In 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.

00:08:40.000 This made international news that there is something faster than light.

00:08:45.000 Now, in 2012, other scientists decided to actually check this research study.

00:08:50.000 It didn't make any sense.

00:08:51.000 Was Einstein wrong?

00:08:53.000 Were the physicists of the 20th century incorrect?

00:08:55.000 Well, no, actually, the research team came back and they were like, oh, actually, we're sorry.

00:09:01.000 We had a loose electrical cable that knocked the experiment's clock out of sync and it explained the error.

00:09:10.000 Science and scientists are actually wrong more than they are right.

00:09:15.000 It's hard to get to a place where all of a sudden you have a breakthrough where you can have an equation to the natural world.

00:09:22.000 It's possible.

00:09:24.000 Copernicus did it in 1543.

00:09:26.000 Galileo did it in 1610 to challenge an orthodox belief and actually become to a heterodox, well-accepted mathematical equation of the natural world.

00:09:37.000 But they deceived you intentionally.

00:09:41.000 And they did so so that they could have political power to act as if they got it all mapped out.

00:09:46.000 And they used that word science.

00:09:50.000 That term science was a shield.

00:09:52.000 It was a shield to try to protect themselves from a political agenda that was masked as a medical agenda.

00:10:00.000 Well, we're just trying to save lives.

00:10:01.000 Trust the science.

00:10:02.000 Say it home.

00:10:02.000 We're on the side of science.

00:10:04.000 Well, the first thing that any scientist will tell you that is worth their salt is you never stop questioning.

00:10:09.000 That's one thing that they did not allow.

00:10:11.000 Social media companies restricted speech.

00:10:15.000 Pfizer sponsored entire hours of programming on CNN.

00:10:21.000 Oh, the science has changed, Dr. Wennis says.

00:10:23.000 No, no, no, no.

00:10:24.000 What has changed is the politics have changed, but the science remains the same.

00:10:29.000 And your theory was wrong.

00:10:33.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?

00:10:35.000 Producer Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.

00:10:38.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.

00:10:40.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.

00:10:45.000 That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.

00:10:50.000 They are on a mission.

00:10:51.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.

00:10:53.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.

00:10:59.000 And I believe they'll do it.

00:11:00.000 So 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.

00:11:29.000 Someone emailed us at freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:11:32.000 Such a good take.

00:11:33.000 Truth is discovered, not created.

00:11:35.000 That is exactly right.

00:11:37.000 But when morals become subjective, as they have in our world the last couple decades, well, then why can't the science become subjective?

00:11:48.000 It's what you need it to be.

00:11:50.000 Cut 46, Dr. Wen continues to say that it's time for government restrictions to end and shift to individual responsibility.

00:12:00.000 I 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.

00:12:12.000 And 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.

00:12:22.000 And 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.

00:12:34.000 Rather, it should shift to an individual responsibility by the family who can still decide that their child can wear a mask if needed.

00:12:42.000 Individual responsibility, you mean like deciding whether or not people need to get vaccines or not?

00:12:48.000 Individual responsibility, like whether or not people should wear a mask or not?

00:12:52.000 There's only one reason why she's saying this.

00:12:55.000 The science has not changed.

00:12:57.000 The politics has changed.

00:13:01.000 Dr. 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. 1.00

00:13:17.000 The science has definitely not changed at all.

00:13:21.000 The science remains exactly the same.

00:13:23.000 We're dealing with an invisible pathogen.

00:13:25.000 That is not a significant risk to a vast majority of the population.

00:13:30.000 We now have more treatments than ever before.

00:13:32.000 Vitamin D levels very well could have been an effective strategy for most of the population to engage in.

00:13:39.000 But she's worried not about the pandemic.

00:13:43.000 No, 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. 0.81

00:14:05.000 So she needs to give permission for other mayors and governors to be able to open the country back up again. 1.00

00:14:12.000 But they still, they're not on the same page here.

00:14:16.000 But they're now going to be crediting Biden for reopening the country.

00:14:19.000 Hakeem Jeffries does exactly that.

00:14:22.000 He credits Biden for states dropping mask mandates.

00:14:26.000 Play cut 43.

00:14:28.000 Job creation is up.

00:14:32.000 Wages are up.

00:14:34.000 Unemployment is down.

00:14:35.000 And the Omicron variant is in retreat.

00:14:38.000 And that's not by accident.

00:14:41.000 That'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.

00:14:58.000 And that is what has been happening. 0.78

00:15:00.000 This guy is so unbelievably dishonest. 0.95

00:15:03.000 I mean, does he have to take a shower after that just to wash off the lies? 0.98

00:15:06.000 It's unbelievable how you could live with yourself.

00:15:09.000 But they don't really quite have their message straight.

00:15:13.000 Dr. Wen goes on and she says, look, here's the thing.

00:15:16.000 The science has changed.

00:15:18.000 And we've been talking about two different things that they've intentionally blended and blurred together.

00:15:24.000 You can look in science very simply like this.

00:15:26.000 There is the known and there is the unknown.

00:15:29.000 Now, if you're as bold to try to challenge the known, you better have your facts right.

00:15:33.000 Galileo 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.

00:15:49.000 Copernicus hypothesized at first, but he ended up being correct.

00:15:55.000 But invoking and constantly saying, we trust the science, we trust the science, actually prevents what science is all about.

00:16:04.000 Science is about dissent.

00:16:07.000 And you can't have dissent if you do not have the ability or the circumstance or the environment to have speech.

00:16:15.000 Joe Rogan was playing a better role as a legitimate scientist than Fauci ever has.

00:16:21.000 He asked questions.

00:16:22.000 He wanted to get to the truth.

00:16:23.000 Were the vaccines causing things?

00:16:24.000 Are they helping or hurting?

00:16:26.000 Why is Israel having some of the worst virus transmission rates in the world with their fourth booster shot?

00:16:30.000 Why is that?

00:16:33.000 Science is about questioning.

00:16:35.000 Politics, especially on the left, is about protecting a specific narrative that benefits their political power.

00:16:47.000 Look, it's a new year and not much has changed.

00:16:49.000 We have inflation.

00:16:50.000 Houses are selling in a week.

00:16:52.000 Interest rates are at zero.

00:16:53.000 And our government is still borrowing money.

00:16:55.000 Well, actually, printing money.

00:16:56.000 $5 trillion in new money, to be exact.

00:16:59.000 What could go wrong?

00:16:59.000 Meanwhile, consumer confidence hits a 10-year low.

00:17:02.000 Inflation, 6.8%, even higher in certain places, 10%, 12% in other places.

00:17:07.000 Something is not adding up.

00:17:08.000 So what can you do?

00:17:09.000 Well, you can play it safe.

00:17:10.000 Put some of your assets into precious metals will keep your money away from volatility in the markets and will let you sleep at night.

00:17:47.000 Teacher union boss Randy Whitgarten says she'll only support unmasking children when there is zero COVID transmission or an 80% vaccination rate.

00:17:59.000 So we're at 63% of the country vaccinated. 0.65

00:18:02.000 Now, teacher union boss Randy Whitegarten, she is a thug. 1.00

00:18:07.000 She is a mobster. 1.00

00:18:10.000 She's a cartel leader. 1.00

00:18:12.000 Now, teachers can be wonderful.

00:18:15.000 There's many wonderful teachers out there.

00:18:17.000 Teacher unions are no different than the same sort of cartel gangs that are running drugs into our country.

00:18:25.000 And I use that comparison totally and completely on purpose.

00:18:30.000 The teacher unions have so significantly failed millions, tens of millions of people that have gone through the institutions that they run.

00:18:42.000 Public sector teacher unions continue to pay bad teachers, awful teachers, regardless of their behavior or of their lack of interest in actually educating children.

00:19:01.000 Public sector teacher unions want the schools closed and they want the kids masked.

00:19:08.000 Everything that the teacher union does is at the bidding of the globalist Democrat Party.

00:19:16.000 Now, 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.

00:19:28.000 She's very worried that charter schools and private schools are growing.

00:19:31.000 Randy Whitegarten, she's probably top 10 of the people that have done the most damage to America over the last decade.

00:19:41.000 There are schools in Baltimore where they can't not find a single child that can read at grade level.

00:19:47.000 But don't worry, Randy Whitegarten, the head of the American Federation of Teachers, she's getting paid in full.

00:19:51.000 Play cut 44.

00:19:53.000 I am in favor of an off-ramp on masks.

00:19:57.000 The real issue becomes: is the spread low enough so that there's no dissemination or transmission in schools?

00:20:08.000 That'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.

00:20:21.000 Even though there is evidence to show the more vaccinated you are, the more the virus is actually being transmissed or transmission.

00:20:29.000 Israel's a great example, Gibraltar or Singapore. 0.76

00:20:33.000 They just pull this data point out of nowhere as if the vaccine is stopping transmission.

00:20:38.000 Now, you might be able to say, because there's mixed data on this, well, the vaccine can help as an injectable therapeutic.

00:20:44.000 That's a separate argument.

00:20:46.000 Basically, she's saying that we're never going to reopen schools with kids without masks on.

00:20:53.000 Randy 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.

00:21:03.000 Not just at grade level.

00:21:04.000 These are high schoolers that are reading at kindergarten level.

00:21:07.000 The damage from the public sector teacher unions.

00:21:11.000 Randy Whitgarten is on a totally different page than Ms. Wen for a purpose.

00:21:16.000 They are so worried, Democrats are, they are going to get clobbered in the upcoming midterms.

00:21:21.000 They have to do everything they possibly can to try to reopen the country and get back to some form of normalcy.

00:21:27.000 This is not about science.

00:21:29.000 It's not about medicine.

00:21:30.000 It's about politics.

00:21:31.000 The very same thing they accuse us only of caring about.

00:21:34.000 They're the ones that cared about us.

00:21:36.000 They're like, oh, you only care about the politics of this.

00:21:39.000 Now, while everyone is bickering on cable news, kids are starting to fight back.

00:21:47.000 Students are starting to fight back against these mask mandates one at a time.

00:21:52.000 What's the damage that mask mandates have done?

00:21:54.000 It's significant.

00:21:55.000 It's detrimental to the emotional and the spiritual health of a nation.

00:21:59.000 Listen 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.

00:22:07.000 Play cut 35.

00:22:09.000 The teacher says, oh my God.

00:22:12.000 Hi.

00:22:13.000 I didn't even recognize you.

00:22:15.000 I've never seen your face before.

00:22:19.000 Layla's been in that class for three and a half months. 0.97

00:22:25.000 This is dehumanizing.

00:22:27.000 It's demoralizing.

00:22:30.000 And these teachers should see a human face.

00:22:35.000 Harris Faulkner reports Cut 38 on a new study that shows that children have a harder time recognizing people than adults.

00:22:42.000 Play Cut 38.

00:22:43.000 So a new study finds that children have a more difficult time recognizing faces that are masks than adults.

00:22:50.000 The 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.

00:23:03.000 And this could lead to issues forming important relationships given the importance of faces to social interactions.

00:23:13.000 So if the evidence is so overwhelming, why are there still mask mandates?

00:23:17.000 Two reasons.

00:23:19.000 Parents that are living in a perpetual state of fear, safetyism is their guiding philosophy.

00:23:26.000 That's number one.

00:23:27.000 And 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.

00:23:44.000 Now, would it be too far to conjecture that the pharmaceutical companies really want kids to walk around with masks all day long?

00:23:51.000 Makes them more anxious, more depressed, less confident.

00:23:55.000 Well, that's great for the pill pushers that work for Pfizer that are trying to medicate your children anyway. 1.00

00:24:02.000 You 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?

00:24:16.000 The amount of prescriptions that are written for antidepressants is skyrocketing.

00:24:20.000 It's the new gold rush.

00:24:22.000 If you are in the business of creating antidepressants, you are printing money right now.

00:24:27.000 Most of which, of course, is covered by insurance or other means.

00:24:31.000 That 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.

00:24:41.000 It's also creating subjects, not citizens.

00:24:47.000 A generation similar, and I will use a comparison here that will definitely get some headlines.

00:24:56.000 And then everyone just kind of stares.

00:24:58.000 It's exactly how children are raised in North Korea. 0.74

00:25:00.000 They don't know freedom and liberty.

00:25:01.000 They do what they're told.

00:25:03.000 Yemeni 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.

00:25:13.000 Thinking for 10 minutes was exhausting.

00:25:15.000 I had to take a nap.

00:25:17.000 If 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.

00:25:31.000 Play Cut 37.

00:25:33.000 I mean, that's, and it's very common.

00:25:35.000 I mean, that's, I hear constantly.

00:25:36.000 Kids have to choose between seeing or not.

00:25:40.000 I mean, and they have to follow the rules.

00:25:42.000 So half the time, I think masks are not being worn properly anyway.

00:25:45.000 They're pulling them down.

00:25:47.000 But it just, it doesn't make sense to choose between their vision or masking.

00:25:53.000 And again, what is this for?

00:25:57.000 You're not going to get a clear answer on that.

00:25:59.000 It's also for this.

00:26:00.000 It's also for adults that are obese and have not made good decisions and they're super afraid of getting sick.

00:26:07.000 So they want to mask kids to try to make themselves feel better about it.

00:26:10.000 There's a huge component of this of parents, not just parents.

00:26:15.000 Let me put that aside.

00:26:15.000 Let'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.

00:26:28.000 Destroy the kids' life so you could feel better about yourself.

00:26:33.000 Look, a lot of people did not even make resolutions this year.

00:26:36.000 And you know what?

00:26:37.000 I 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.

00:26:44.000 Whatever way you challenge yourself this new year, there's no better way to do it than with a pair of Raycon wireless earbuds.

00:26:50.000 Raycon 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.

00:26:58.000 Their everyday earbuds look, feel, and sound better than ever.

00:27:02.000 There's also awareness mode for when you need to listen to your surroundings so they can take Raycons with you wherever you go.

00:27:07.000 Raycons offer eight hours of playtime and 32 hours of battery life.

00:27:10.000 Producer Connor, producer Andrew, producer Jake, they all love Raycons, and it's no wonder Raycon's everyday earbuds have 48,000 five-star reviews.

00:27:19.000 Right now, the Charlie Kirk show listeners can get 15% off their Raycon orders at buyraycon.com slash Kirk.

00:27:25.000 That's byraycon.com slash kirk, byraycon.com/slash kirk.

00:27:34.000 I 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.

00:27:42.000 This is not an exhaustive list.

00:27:43.000 It's a working list and it's expanding.

00:27:45.000 I just want to shout out our amazing Turning Point USA chapter leaders at the following schools: Bonita High School in Laverne, California.

00:27:52.000 Woodgrove High School in Percival, Virginia, Chino Hills High School in Chino Hills, California.

00:27:58.000 I bet it's connected to Jack Hibbs Church right there.

00:28:00.000 Great guy.

00:28:01.000 Fairview in Bremington, Washington.

00:28:05.000 Lions Township in LaGrange, Illinois.

00:28:07.000 I know that school very well.

00:28:08.000 Washogle High School in Washogle, Washington.

00:28:11.000 Ramona Middle School in Laverne, California.

00:28:13.000 Sequoia Middle School in Fresno, California.

00:28:18.000 Oakdale High School in Oakdale, California.

00:28:21.000 Etawanda High School in Rancho Cucamanga, California, and a couple other in Washington State.

00:28:26.000 That is not an exhaustive list by any means whatsoever.

00:28:33.000 However, I do think, Andrew, they're popping up even more, right?

00:28:37.000 There's a lot of momentum.

00:28:37.000 So we are on the front lines at Turning Point USA to empower these high school students to push back against these mask mandates.

00:28:46.000 And 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.

00:28:53.000 That's the point.

00:28:56.000 Okay, I want to play some tape here.

00:28:57.000 I'm not sure how good the audio is on some of these, but we'll play it anyway.

00:29:04.000 Cut 24, St. Viter High School.

00:29:06.000 The kids are done with masks in the suburbs of Chicago.

00:29:09.000 Play cut 24.

00:29:20.000 Entry.

00:29:21.000 No punishment.

00:29:24.000 No, you're kidding.

00:29:25.000 Get in.

00:29:32.000 Total pandemonium and chaos happening at St. Viter High School in the suburbs of Chicago.

00:29:37.000 I played in that gymnasium multiple times.

00:29:39.000 I almost hit a half-court shot in that gym.

00:29:41.000 Right there, that gym.

00:29:42.000 I'm not kidding.

00:29:43.000 Andrew, you know, I dropped 25 points in that gym.

00:29:46.000 I'm not kidding.

00:29:47.000 It's a true story.

00:29:48.000 Right there.

00:29:49.000 I can tell you where I was sitting.

00:29:50.000 We actually had our opening tournament when I was a senior, right there in that gym.

00:29:53.000 I played four games in a row, four days in a row there.

00:29:56.000 They're pushing back big time.

00:29:58.000 Cut 30.

00:30:00.000 Kids in Israel react to no more mask mandates.

00:30:03.000 It's not in English, though, right?

00:30:04.000 It's in Hebrew.

00:30:06.000 But they're just enthusiastic about it.

00:30:08.000 Play cut 30.

00:30:28.000 She says in Hebrew, no more mask mandates, and the kids start cheering and they start ripping the masks forcibly, just tearing them apart.

00:30:37.000 And 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.

00:30:44.000 But you're starting to see students start to push back against this.

00:30:48.000 And at Turning Point USA, the list is growing and growing and growing by the day.

00:30:53.000 What is that?

00:30:53.000 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.

00:30:56.000 That's 15 already.

00:30:57.000 15 schools that already have organized protests, organized walkouts around the mandatory mask mandates.

00:31:05.000 Play cut 34, Fox News report on how states are moving to lift mask restrictions against the Biden regime wishes.

00:31:12.000 And also shows that a new poll shows that 50% of people want to continue to open up without any precautions.

00:31:17.000 PlayCut 34.

00:31:18.000 So a growing number of Democratic governors phasing out school mask mandates in defiance of President Biden.

00:31:23.000 The White House is still pushing for students to keep their faces covered indoors, and they say that's because the CDC maintains it.

00:31:29.000 Yeah, well, they're following the voters for one reason.

00:31:32.000 There's a new poll out this morning from Axios Ipsos.

00:31:36.000 Do you want to have no mandates and requirements open up with no mandates or requirements?

00:31:40.000 21%.

00:31:42.000 You want to move towards opening up with precautions?

00:31:45.000 29%.

00:31:46.000 So 50% saying we want to start moving in the direction of or get rid of all of the mandates and requirements.

00:31:52.000 Well, if Karl Rove's chalkboard shows it, or whatever, his whiteboard, we're spot on.

00:31:59.000 Students are rising up.

00:32:01.000 They are pushing back against these unconstitutional and immoral mandates.

00:32:07.000 And 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.

00:32:15.000 As we say on this show, the citizen is rising.

00:32:19.000 That's why all of a sudden they're lifting these restrictions.

00:32:21.000 And it will just be a matter of days, if not weeks, where Illinois capitulates.

00:32:27.000 I know that area very well, the suburbs of Chicago.

00:32:29.000 And you have kids in school, empower them and encourage them to fight back against these mask mandates.

00:32:35.000 We are robbing their health.

00:32:36.000 The masks are harmful.

00:32:37.000 It's bad for their emotional and spiritual development.

00:32:40.000 Students are rising up to reclaim their bodily autonomy.

00:32:44.000 It's a beautiful thing to see.
