A Dire Warning From a Communist Defector about America's Future
As we continue to cover the indoctrination happening from kindergarten classrooms to college lecture halls, someone powerfully makes the point The Charlie Kirk Show has been making for months: that the radical, anti-American Left is well on their way to destroying America by corrupting our classrooms. Charlie walks through a story you won't want to miss from a North Korean defector and refugee to the United States and shares her warning about what she saw in American college classrooms and how it closely aligns to what she fled in North Korea. Share this episode with any student considering college who may be on the fence or to any parent, grandparent, or family member who may be feeling the same way about sending their kids to college.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey everybody, a defector from North Korea has some warnings for all of you in college or kids that you're sending to college or grandkids that might be going to college.
This episode is very important.
Share it with your friends of a defector who says that colleges are less free than North Korea.
Pretty alarming stuff.
We also go into mandatory vaccinations with students and young people and a Northwestern student who likely died because of the vaccine and the media's cover-up around that.

Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
I want to thank Charlie.
He's an incredible guy.
His spirit is love of this country.
He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
Turning point USA.
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.
That's why we are here.
Hey guys, you guys have heard me talk with my friend Kelly Shackelford before.
Kelly Shackelford from First Liberty is a good person.
Look, we've talked about court packing.
It's the tool of left-wing authoritarians.
Hugo Chavez packed Venezuela Supreme Court with his socialist cronies and paved the way for his tyrannical regime.
But now Joe Biden and American socialist radicals want to pack our Supreme Court with four new liberal justices.
Court packing isn't some policy idea to improve our courts.
It's a coup, a coup to take away your constitutional freedoms and turn America into a socialist country.
That's why First Liberty Institute, the largest legal organization in the nation dedicated to defending religious liberty in America, is doing something about it.
First Liberty recently launched SupremeCoup.com.
That's supremecoup.com to serve as a one-stop shop in the fight against court packing and help patriots like you learn the truth about what's happening in the courts.
But more importantly, there's a big take action button so you could do something to stop the Supreme Court coup.
So do me a favor, support Kelly Shackelford in this and get involved.

North Korea vs American Campuses00:13:08
What is the most unfree country on the planet?
What is the place with the least free speech rights, the least capacity to be able to worship your creator, start a family, own private property, start a business?
Where is the place where totalitarianism dominates?
We often make fun of this country.
We often use it as kind of one-liners.
It has been a place where a lot of guerrilla documentaries have been done of infiltration and cataloging what happens when government gets too powerful and we give up too much of our freedom and liberty.
And I'm, of course, talking about North Korea.
In 1945, North Korea was essentially formed.
It was the beginning of North Korea.
The Soviet Union started to invade the Korean peninsula, which then was met with resistance from Western forces.
In 1950, the North tried to take over the entire Korean peninsula with the aid of the Chinese Communist and Soviet-backed forces.
Eventually, this started the Korean War in 1950.
After over 3 million civilians being killed, the war ended with a stalemate.
And the division at the 38th parallel, otherwise known as the demilitarized zone or the DMZ, has been there ever since.
It has been the greatest physical representation of a dividing line between a civil and free society, South Korea, and an autocratic, centralized, despotic, hopeless, soulless, and atheistic society such as North Korea.
It has been commonly described as a country with the worst human rights record in the world.
All aspects of life are planned by the state and subject to their planning.
The founder of North Korea was a man by the name of Kim Il-sung.
He, of course, then handed off control to Kim Jon-il, then eventually to Kim Jon-un, the short, overweight maniac that runs North Korea today.
Donald Trump did everything he possibly could to normalize ties with North Korea.
Some of his efforts were admirable and I think did some good to prevent war, and some was probably didn't do very much good at all.
But overall, I respect the pursuit of peace that I think many of our leaders should try and focus on.
In North Korea today, there are over 200,000 political prisoners.
There is almost this cult of personality where you worship the prime minister, the president, Kim Jon-un and Kim Jon-il and Kim Il-sung, very similar to Mao's China.
It is as close to a controlled society as we will ever see.
There is no immigration.
There's almost no tourism.
Western press is not allowed to freely roam throughout Pyongyang, which is the capital of North Korea.
What if I told you that someone who grew up in North Korea is now saying that American college campuses are worse than North Korea?
What I mean by worse says they are more intolerant, not as free.
What if I told you that someone who's a defector from North Korea is now trying to warn us that the most unfree country in the world, a place of over 200,000 political prisoners, is actually freer than American college campuses.
This North Korean defector was on Sean Hannity's program.
I'm going to play a couple clips.
Let's play CUT 22.
So when I was in North Korea, first thing that I learned was that Americans were bastards.
It was actually the one word.
And when I came to America, I fell in love with this country.
This is such a wonderful country.
I've never been accepted more than this country was.
And at Columbia University, literally every professor was saying that, you know, the problems that we have on today's world is because of white men, how they colonize Africa, the Hawkins, I mean, Asia, right?
That's how they mess up everything.
And they are the one who needs to be blamed.
And I couldn't believe that am I sitting in North Korea's classroom or in America, actually?
I couldn't believe why people were hating their own people that much.
Yeon Mee Park is her name.
And she is now going on any television network that will have her.
Of course, the mainstream press, NBC, CBS, and CNN will not hold her.
And she said, I expected that I was paying this fortune to go to Colombia, all this time and energy to learn how to think, but they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think.
I realized, wow, this is insane.
I thought America was different, but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying.
Yeon Mi Park was sold into sex slavery.
She had to cross the Gobi Desert to be free.
And she thought she was coming to America to have freedom of speech, but at Columbia, she had to censor her speech.
I want you to listen very carefully about this because we kind of make jokes about North Korea.
Oh, what are they going to throw us in camps?
What about someone who actually has seen the camps?
What about someone who was a sex slave who's trying to warn you that the place where you send your grandchildren to get educated, it reminds her of where she fled.
Play Cut 23.
It's just heartbreaking.
I literally sold as a sexual slave and I literally crossed the Gobi Desert to be free.
And now I thought I landed in a country where I can say what I believe and have my freedom to think.
However, now I end up in a country, I have to be constantly censoring my speech because now in the name of a safe place, Colombia was told, I mean, told us what we cannot talk about.
And I am so concerned, like if America is not free, I think there's no place Earth's left that is free.
And I think that's why it's really alarming to me.
She says, if America is not a free place, there is no other place that is free.
And that is alarming to me.
Fine, formerly a sex slave who has seen the most brutal authoritarianism in the world.
And she's trying to warn you that at an Ivy League school of Colombia, there is no freedom of speech.
Then she even said, I like an author by the name of Jane Austen.
She said, I love these books.
I thought it was a good thing.
And then white liberals would say, Did you know those writers had a colonial mindset?
They were racists and bigots and subconsciously brainwashing you.
Yanamee realized that every one of her classes at the Ivy League school was infected with what she saw as anti-American propaganda, reminiscent to the sort that she had grown up with.
So here is a North Korean defector who says that American children are being taught to hate the country the same way that North Korean children are.
She is saying that Columbia University's propaganda against America is no different than the propaganda in North Korean schools.
Cut 24, North Korean defector Yeonmi Park says she was shocked to find that in America, we're classifying people based on their ancestors, just like they do in North Korea.
Cut 24.
You know, North Korea started as a communist country.
It began as, you know, let's make the most equal society in the world.
Now, the region made 50 different classes based on your status, based on what your great-great-greatfather did.
And when I went to Colombia, that's when I shocked.
They say, because your ancestors owned the slaves, that you must be guilty.
You are privileged because you are white.
And this is injustice because you can never choose your ancestors.
You don't choose your race.
And people in North Korea are being punished for, you know, certain class.
And in this America, the same thing happening right now.
Being punished based on something you can't control.
How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
Quite a lot.
Truth is, I know millions of people, in fact, that over 100 million people that are struggling with some kind of pain, whether it's knee pain, back pain, joint pain, and exercise or getting older or whatever it might be.
I'm so impressed with the team at Relief Factor.
They are on a mission.
You rarely see this kind of commitment.
So go to relieffactor.com.
That's relieffactor.com or call 800-500-8384.
About a dollar a day to see if you can get out of pain.
And then after that, less than a cost of a cup of coffee a day.
Relief Factor is terrific.
It's 100% drug-free.
Go to relieffactor.com.
That's relieffactor.com.
So we have a North Korea defector, Yenemi Park, who has come out and she has said that if you send your child to college, it reminded her of North Korea.
Now, it is a pattern at times for those of us in the communication world, if we do radio or podcasting, to try to make examples that get headlines.
One example is Governor Ron DeSantis said that living in Florida is kind of like living in West Berlin.
Now, he was condemned for that.
How dare you say such a thing?
He's not totally wrong.
There is some truth there.
I get the point he was making, obviously.
But now you have someone who's actually lived in North Korea, was sold as a sex slave in North Korea, was indoctrinated in North Korea, nearly imprisoned in North Korea.
She goes on to say that, quote, I have seen oppression.
I know what oppression looks like.
All these kids at Columbia University say how they're oppressed.
They don't know how hard it is to be free.
I literally crossed through the middle of the Gobi Desert to be free.
What I did was nothing.
But what I did was nothing.
So many people fought harder than me and didn't make it.
So she has friends that died in the Gobi Desert.
And so she gets sold as a sex slave, nearly dies, comes to America, to our top university, Columbia University, top 10 university, by whatever metric the ruling class decides to put forward.
As far as hard to get into.
And there she is.
Finally, I get to breathe free in the upper west side of New York City.
And then she feels as if she's right back where she fled.
I hope all the parents and grandparents listening right now take this very seriously.
If you're sending a kid or grandkid to college this next semester, according to this North Korean defector, Yeon Kim Park, you're sending them to an institution that is worse and wackier than North Korea.
What does that tell you when a defector warns you that the place that you pay to teach your children values is the least unfree country in the world?
What about those of you that give money to your alma mater?
You see, this should be a fire alarm.
Most mainstream media is not reporting this.
She says, in America, it's becoming clear.
There's almost no rule of law, a diminishing morality.
Nothing is good or bad anymore.
It's complete chaos.
I guess that's what they want, to destroy every single thing and rebuild it into a communist paradise.
She said, in America, you guys have lost common sense to a degree that I, as a North Korean, cannot even comprehend.
In North Korea, we don't even have internet.
We don't have access to any of these great thinkers.
We don't know anything.
But here, while everyone has everything, people choose to be brainwashed and they deny it.
That's what's happening in America, she says.
People see things, but they've just completely lost the ability to think critically.
In North Korea, I literally believed that Kim Jong-un was starving.
He's the fattest guy.
How could anyone believe that?
And then somebody showed me a photo and said, look at him.
He's the fattest guy.
Other people are all thin.
And I was like, oh my goodness, why did I not notice he was fat?
Because I never learned how to think critically.
Sounds like university campuses today.
And she said even it's worse here than it is over there as far as the thought police.
She says that there is more freedom of speech in North Korea than at Columbia University.
So why do parents keep on sending their kids to college?
For status, because they've been told they have to get a degree to go get a job.
And it's true.
You send your child to college, you are sending them to a place where they will be indoctrinated and propagandized, no different than someone who is in a North Korean indoctrination camp.
Did you ever read the fine print that appears when you start browsing in incognito mode?
Vaccination Choices and Adverse Reactions00:12:40
It says that your activity might still be visible to your employer, your school, or your internet service provider.
How can they even call it incognito?
To really stop these people from seeing the sites you visit, you need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN.
Think about all the times you've used the Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, a hotel, or even at your parents' home.
Without ExpressVPN, every single site you visit could be logged by the admin of that network.
And that's still true when you're in incognito mode.
What's more is your home internet provider, I'm talking about Comcast, AT ⁇ T, or whatever, can also see and record your browsing data.
ExpressVPN is an application, it's an app that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers.
So your private online activity says just that private Expressvpn works on all of your devices and it's super easy to use.
So stop letting strangers invade your online privacy.

Last evening, our team at the Charlie Kirk SHOW quick on the draw, we got forwarded a email from Arizona State University, the largest, one of the largest state schools in the country and the largest in the state of Arizona.
There are three state schools, Northern Arizona University, University OF Arizona and Arizona State University and we got this email and immediately we mobilized on our telegram feed, on our instagram, on twitter, you name it.
Everything we got, we went full court press.
Now, regardless of your position on the vaccine, whether or not you think it's god's gift to science, or whether or not you're skeptical and you have questions about it, I think we can all reasonably agree that students especially, should not be required to get vaccinated.
And even beyond that, the way to try to enforce the requirement of vaccination is not to create some sort of segregated, segregated new medical Jim Crow, as Tucker Carlson called it, and Tucker was right.
So Arizona State University sent out this email quote, the vaccine is currently widely available throughout the United States.
Students are expected to be fully vaccinated two weeks prior to the first day of classes.
Do you hear that we expect you to be fully vaccinated?
I'm sorry, who pays you?
Is the university paying students to be, Or does the university work for the students?
What kind of ridiculous demand is that?
We expect you to be vaccinated.
Vaccine appointments are also available through the ASU Health Center.
Once vaccinated, students should upload proof of vaccination to their ASU health portal.
ASU will accept all COVID-19 vaccines that are approved by the World Health Organization.
Of course, the World Health Organization has never lied.
They've always told the truth.
They're terrific.
Or a national regulatory agency.
Students who are unable to be vaccinated for any reason or who do not agree to share their vaccination status will be required to participate in ongoing COVID health management protocols.
So get this.
This is what ASU said before the governor, and thank you, Doug Deuce, if you're doing the right thing, came in and intervened.
According to Arizona State University, this is what these maniacs will do if you do not challenge them.
This is what these people do if you do not call them out.
Unvaccinated students or those who do not share their status will be required to submit to a daily health check.
Show me your pepers.
That's an hi pepas.
Participate in twice-weekly COVID-19 testing.
Or the real kicker, wear a face mask at all times in all indoor and outdoor spaces at Arizona State University campuses.
That's medical Jim Crow.
If you don't get vaccinated, regardless if you had the virus before, and new research now shows that if you had the virus before, you likely do not need to get vaccinated and you have the antibodies.
And then indoor and outdoor.
So according to Arizona State University, they're going to defy CDC guidance and you have to go walk around outdoors in Tempe, Arizona, when it's 126 degrees outside with a cloth mask.
How is that healthy?
How is that a good thing for students to be able to breathe?
However, if you are vaccinated, well, then you get to enjoy your freedom.
You see, if you submit and if you allow, if you engage in their social engineering project at Arizona State University, then fully vaccinated students will not be required to submit to any daily health check, participate in COVID-19 testing, and they don't have to wear a mask indoors or outdoors unless otherwise directed.
Now, any student may continue to wear face covering if they wish, and everyone is encouraged to wear face coverings in crowded areas or venues.
Then they have some sort of ridiculous platitude about how good of a person they are.
And the person who signed this is Dr. Joanne Vogel, Vice President of Student Services.
I'd be super interested if she's actually a medical doctor.
Can you find that out, Connor, too?
I bet she's like a doctor in lesbian poetry or something, a medical doctor, head of student services.
We'll see.
As Sun Devils, we commit to being part of the ASU community of care where we take ourselves.
So do you all of a sudden see where our friend Yinmi Park has been able to pinpoint how we are basically becoming North Korea?
Yeonmee Park said that this reminds her of what she fled in Pyongyang.
Thank you for your commitment to ASU community and for doing your part to keep yourself and fellow Sun Devils healthy.
But what about college students that die from the vaccine?
Are you allowed to talk about that?
Let me introduce you to somebody before I tell you the good news that Governor Doug Ducey put forward.
And also, I'm going to read a Wall Street Journal story around this.
Now, the reporting around this story is so unbelievably deceiving.
Would you agree with that, Connor?
This Northwestern story?
So at face value, it looks like this young lady died of pneumonia.
Medill freshman Simone Scott died Friday morning following a heart transplant.
Okay, doesn't sound like that big of a deal.
Scott came to Northwestern from Mason, Ohio, and joined the Northwestern News Network.
Again, not a big deal.
But then all of a sudden, you start to realize that this is a lot more than pneumonia.
This is, if you actually dive into it, why was it that she had pneumonia?
So Alex Berenson on Twitter said the following.
He said, 19-year-old Simone Scott was excited to get her second dose of the Moderna Chinese coronavirus vaccine on May 1st.
Now her funeral is being planned.
Simone, a first-year student at Northwestern University, suffered a case of apparent myocarditis-induced heart failure on May 16th.
Despite extraordinary measures, including a heart transplant, she died at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
Now her parents are struggling to understand what happened to Simone, and they had no idea that the Chinese coronavirus could cause myocarditis.
Kramer said, quote, I lost my only daughter.
I never thought I'd have to give up my daughter for the greater good of society.
Doctors appear to have repeatedly missed signals as Simone's condition worsened in two weeks following her second shot before she abruptly crashed.
In mid-May, Israel was reporting high rates of cases of the mRNA vaccine related to myocarditis in young people.
In the United States, vaccinations have been open for 12 to 15-year-olds, but the CDC has played down the risk, the myocarditis risk in young people.
In a statement on May 17th, the day after Simone died, the CDC reported that it has found, quote, relatively few.
Do you notice how they never say a number?
What is relatively few?
Well, when you're dealing with 330 million people, relatively few might be 30,000.
It's a lot of people.
That's 10, 9-11s.
Simone's physicians have not confirmed that her vaccine caused her heart failure, but despite nearly a month of intense investigation, including a pathological examination of her heart after its removal in the transplant, they still have offered no other explanation.
So you have a healthy, by the way, she's black, so where's all the media coverage on this?
Kind of interesting.
You have a black woman who has her whole life ahead of her going to Medill, which is the School of Journalism at Northwestern.
She was excited to get her vaccine, gets the vaccine on May 1st, and she's dead a month and a half later.
But of course, don't ask any questions.
If you don't want to get the vaccine, remember, you're a racist.
So Arizona State University is ignoring this story, and these stories are coming in at a record pace.
Let me tell you.
The stories of these people that are having adverse reactions.
Let me tell you another one from children'shealthdefense.org.
Quote, dad says life not the same for 21-year-old student who developed myocarditis after second Moderna shot.
A New Jersey student whose college, the New Jersey Institute of Technology, requires all students to be fully vaccinated in order to attend classes, became ill within hours of receiving the second dose of the Moderna COVID vaccine.
And I know dozens of people that have had really rough times after getting the vaccine.
I'm talking about bedridden for weeks and still do not feel the same.
Harrington says, quote, the physicians weren't connecting my condition to the vaccine until I informed my son just got the vaccine and share with them the information.
I didn't think the doctors were stupid, but physicians sometimes see things with blinders on.
Yeah, no kidding.
Most of the medical establishment is a bunch of fools in this country.
He now has to wear a heart monitor and take four different medications for six months.
He has to sleep propped up and can't exert himself, and he's missing out on one of the most important times of his life.
And who knows if he'll survive?
I pray he does.
Yet, Arizona State University says, We don't care about these mounting stories.
We don't care about myocarditis.
Get the vaccine or you can't get educated.
And in a moment that deserves praise, Governor Doug Ducey has come out and he said, This dog is not going to hunt as long as I'm governor.
Now, I've had some plenty of choice words for Governor Ducey on other items, but when someone does something good, I will tell the world that they do something good.
He has come out and he has said that he is going to sign an executive order, and he's going to say that this sort of medical Jim Crow is, he said, this is bad policy with no basis in public health.
The vaccine works, but the vaccine is a choice.
This policy is social engineering at its worst.
So the governor is making a statement in favor of the vaccine, but he's also saying that if you don't want the vaccine, then you don't have to get it and you don't have to pay a penalty for it.
Ducey said it's unscientific.
He said health policy should be based on science, not virtue signaling.
In America, freedom wins.
Amen, Governor Ducey.
He says that he will sign an executive order that will, quote, ensure this excessive policy is never enforced at Arizona State University.
It comes after a failed effort by Arizona lawmakers to ban state and local governments, as well as public universities, from mandating vaccine passports.
I'm glad to see the governor step up and do this because without it, Arizona State would have had the ability to mass inoculate every single child.
And guess what?
You know what?
Maybe there might be more Simone Scott stories.
Who knows?
There might be more stories of young people that inexplicably at 19 get myocarditis, but we're not allowed to ask those questions.
In fact, sit down and shut up because the vaccine is terrific, especially for 19-year-olds.
So thank you, Governor Ducey, for standing up against mandatory vaccinations.
This is a winning critical and moral issue.
In 1857, the SS Central, also known as the Gold Ship, sank with 9.1 tons of gold on board, valued at $2.1 million.
That is the modern-day equivalent to hundreds of millions, the greatest American treasure ever discovered at sea.
Wuhan Lab Conspiracy Evidence00:06:01
Today, Noble Gold, a California-based company with a pristine reputation, has a share of these coins available to their clients.
Over 7,000 gold coins, mainly $1, $5, or $20 gold coins from 1840 to 1857, were recovered from the SS Central America shipwreck.
Most of these coins from the ship of gold were quickly acquired by private collectors when the coins were first brought to the market in early 2000.
Now, Noble's clients can get this unforgettable part of American history at a fair, affordable valuation.
Contact Noble Gold and ask about the Kirk shipwreck deal to receive this unique offer.

Then call a Noble Gold representative to ask about shipwreck coins.
Inflation is here, so it's time to tell better stories at your parties by showcasing inflation-resistant, one-of-a-kind coins from a collection destined to rise in value.
It came from a lab, everybody.
We said that at first on this program over a year ago, it came from a lab.
In fact, when we said that, we were attacked by Chinese state media and Chinese intelligence services.
When we came out and said that the Chinese coronavirus came from a laboratory, we were ridiculed and condemned and mocked by activist media.
I remember talking to reporters and they said, there's no evidence of that.
That's a conspiracy theory.
You see, those two words, conspiracy theory, may put people into a paralysis.
They suffocate speech.
They penalize dissent.
Well, one man is not having it any longer.
One person is standing up against the thought police.
I've always kind of had a soft spot for him.
I've always kind of had a, let's just say, I don't want to say secret or private kind of ability to enjoy his comedy.
He's been liberal.
He's smug.
That's the best way to put it.
Producer Andrew just said a begrudging respect.
That is exactly right.
But in for this one minute and 40 seconds, Jon Stewart has done something I have not seen on television.
He raised the dead.
For the first time in over five years, I have seen something funny on CBS.
This right here, it starts.
You think you know exactly where this is going.
You think you know where this is headed.
You think it's going to be this snobbish.
I love Dr. Fauci.
And you're going to love where it goes.
Play tape.
Science has in many ways helped ease the suffering of this pandemic, which was more than likely caused by science.
There's a chance that this was created in a lab.
There's an investigation.
A chance?
Well, my God, there's evidence.
I'd love to hear it.
There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China.
What do we do?
Oh, you know who we could ask?
The Wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab.
The disease is the same name as the lab.
That's just a little too weird.
Don't you think?
And then I asked those scientists, they're like, how did this...
So wait a minute.
You work at the Wuhan Respiratory Coronavirus Lab.
How did this happen?
And they're like, a pangolin kissed a turtle.
And you're like, no, the name of your lab.
If you look at the name, look at the name.
Can I, let me see your business card.
Show me your business card.
Oh, I work at the coronavirus lab in Wuhan.
Oh, because there's a coronavirus loose in Wuhan.
How did that happen?
Maybe a bat flew into the cloaca of a turkey and then it sneezed into my chili and now we all have coronavirus.
Like, come on, okay, wait.
Okay, wait, okay, wait a second.
What about this?
What about this?
And it goes on and on and on.
Jon Stewart brought comedy back because he said something true that you are not allowed to say.
Comedy used to be the ability to challenge powerful people to be able to say things that other people can't say and do so in the unexpected.
Humor at its best is tragedy plus time.
That's from a Woody Allen film.
And if you're able to know what Woody Allen film that is without looking it up, I will send you a signed copy of my book.
The first person that could tell me what Woody Allen movie that is.
I'm a big Woody Allen fan outside of his personal deviance, which is quite honestly disgusting and degenerate.
But his movies are terrific.
Tragedy plus Time, saying true things against powerful people in a timely way, unexpectedly and surprisingly, leading the person one way and then going the other.
The reason why no one's laughing is because the left is saying things that are not true, things that don't resonate with how we see the world.
And they have basically become nothing more than CNN with a live studio audience and an above-average band with woke writers trying to even just try to extract a chuckle from the ever-diminishing audience of Colbert, Fallon, and Kimmel.
So Jon Stewart, my hats off to you for saying what we all knew.
You're trying to tell me it came from a lab?
Yes.
If it came from Wuhan and we know how the Chinese are, it probably came from a lab.
I have respect for you, Jon Stewart, for doing that.
They'll probably try to cancel you, but you could always come on this program where we stand against that.
Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
