[00:02:19]  You're going to smile, laugh, maybe cry, and then be compelled to action.
[00:02:23]  Buckle up.
[00:02:24]  Here we go.
[00:02:25]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:02:27]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:02:29]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:02:33]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:02:36]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:02:37]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:02:38]  His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
[00:02:46]  We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
[00:02:55]  That's why we are here.
[00:02:59]  How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
[00:03:01]  A lot.
[00:03:01]  Truth is, I know millions of people.

=== The Pain Relief Factor (13:52) ===

[00:03:03]  In fact, some people say over 100 million people are struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
[00:03:10]  Now, Pete and Seth Talbot, they are on a mission.
[00:03:12]  You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
[00:03:14]  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.
[00:03:20]  And I believe they'll do it.
[00:03:21]  So here's the deal.
[00:03:22]  Go to relieffactor.com.
[00:03:23]  That's relief factor.com or call 800-500-8384.
[00:03:27]  People ask me, tell me why Relief Factor is so successful in lowering or eliminating pain.
[00:03:32]  I'm often asked that question.
[00:03:33]  So maybe you want to be able to do cartwheels or be able to do backflips like Producer Andrew.
[00:03:38]  Maybe you want to be able to run a marathon, swim under seas, swim underwater, go scuba diving, jump out of an airplane, but maybe it's your knee pain, back pain, joint pain, whatever pain it might be.
[00:03:48]  Maybe Relief Factor is for you.

[00:03:52]  Check it out.
[00:03:53]  ReliefFactor.com.
[00:03:58]  We're going to start with some good news.
[00:04:00]  If you're like me, you could use some good news.
[00:04:02]  It feels as if we are always talking about what seems to be the decline of our country.
[00:04:07]  And we have plenty to talk about later this hour around that topic.
[00:04:12]  But there was some phenomenal news over the weekend.
[00:04:15]  And the Washington Post and the New York Times and NBC News and national public radio, they covered it just at the absolute minimal degree they possibly could, or they didn't cover it at all.
[00:04:30]  As I said a couple weeks ago, I didn't really have any plans to watch the Olympics.
[00:04:35]  I saw the opening ceremony and it was kind of a globalist anthem and lots of over-mask wearing.
[00:04:42]  But I started to get into it as I started to see clip after clip of American athletes that were winning and were celebrating the right way, giving thanks to their country and their nation and their fellow countrymen.
[00:04:55]  And then I also realized the fact they're wearing masks is obviously not very wise and it's an overreaction on behalf of the International Olympic Committee, but it's China's fault.
[00:05:09]  That it's because of China that the Olympics were delayed a year.
[00:05:14]  It's because of China that the masks had to be worn.
[00:05:17]  So I said, you know what?
[00:05:18]  We better beat China this year.
[00:05:21]  Now, of course, the American media, they wanted nothing to do with such nationalist fervor.
[00:05:27]  The competition between nations was far too intense.
[00:05:31]  It required too much testosterone for the people from the Washington Post, New York Times, and national public radio.
[00:05:36]  It meant that one person might be better than the other.
[00:05:39]  So I was tracking it here and there.
[00:05:41]  There were a couple of sports and competitions I just, I wasn't that interested in the social justice warrior types.
[00:05:48]  But I will say that a majority of the athletes for the United States Olympic team, especially in the ones that require more training than not in the individual sense, not just the team sense, unlike the United States women's soccer team, which really turned me off, was this idea that I worked so hard to be here, and I just want to thank my nation for this opportunity.
[00:06:13]  So I saw this article a couple days ago, and I said, you know what?
[00:06:17]  I hope this article does not age well.
[00:06:20]  And this goes to show exactly where the American media has gone.
[00:06:26]  Sorry, America.
[00:06:27]  This is five days ago by Dan Wetzel, a very low testosterone individual.
[00:06:33]  Dan Wetzel, sorry, America, China's leading the real Olympic medal count.
[00:06:38]  Almost gloating and celebrating the fact that China, our greatest enemy, who launched an epidemiological Pearl Harbor on the world, killed hundreds of thousands of Americans we locked down and shouldn't have, that he's almost saying to Americans, stop celebrating the fact that you might be winning the medal count.
[00:06:59]  So the argument, according to Dan Wetzel from Yahoo Sports, is, I quote, China is kicking the United States' tail in these Olympics.
[00:07:10]  Although you wouldn't know if you just scanned the medal tables in the American media.
[00:07:14]  So this is a narrative over the last week that America wasn't actually winning, that we were winning the general medal count if you counted bronze and silver and gold altogether.
[00:07:25]  So we were winning the cumulative medal count, but we weren't winning the real competition, which is most overall golds, which is what China was winning.
[00:07:32]  And you go on to say here, and he says, everyone else has the right since quite literally gold is better than the others.
[00:07:39]  It's a simple concept, gold, silver, bronze.
[00:07:41]  And he goes on in this sanctimonious tone.
[00:07:47]  He says, this wasn't a planned thing.
[00:07:49]  China began capturing more golds here.
[00:07:51]  It isn't a coordinated way to spare America's fragile ego.
[00:07:55]  This is an American and hide the fact that it isn't dominating the games.
[00:08:01]  It just looks that way.
[00:08:03]  Consider this.
[00:08:04]  If America was leading the standings, according to every single entity, official or neutral, in the entire world, but the Chinese media used a different system that put them on top.
[00:08:12]  Well, what would you think?
[00:08:14]  Right now, it's just embarrassing.
[00:08:16]  I'm reading from this.
[00:08:17]  There is no shame in not winning as many golds as China.
[00:08:20]  Really, who cares, right?
[00:08:21]  Who cares if we're good?
[00:08:23]  Who cares if we're mediocre?
[00:08:25]  All that matters is being overweight, like Dan Wetzel.
[00:08:28]  A nation's worth is not defined by the strength of its canoe solemn team.
[00:08:33]  Besides, with track and field, basketball, and boxing still going, we can still surpass the Chinese by any metric.
[00:08:39]  But by reworking the numbers, even if it isn't orchestrated, it's humiliating.
[00:08:48]  Now, Yahoo should not have published this article.
[00:08:52]  You see, this was published by people that were guided by passion, not by reason, to kind of go back to the Federalist debates.
[00:09:01]  Dan Wetzel should never be in charge of anything.
[00:09:03]  In fact, he should be terminated for this humiliating piece that was written by Yahoo News.
[00:09:08]  So as I was tracking it over the weekend, I had Dan Wetzel's face in my front as I was watching it.
[00:09:15]  I said, okay, Dan Wetzel, little do you know that for those of us that have been watching the Olympics since a very young age, we know that the sports competitions all happen on the final weekend of many competitions that Americans are very good at.
[00:09:35]  So slowly on Thursday and then Friday, all of a sudden America started to creep up on the TRICOMs.
[00:09:42]  Chinese communists.
[00:09:44]  On the medal count.
[00:09:48]  And of course, I saw more and more of these articles pop up.
[00:09:53]  Another one that is just hilarious.
[00:09:54]  Let me pick this one up.
[00:09:55]  Oh, yeah.
[00:09:55]  Newsweek.com.
[00:09:57]  China irked by United States medal table ranking as country leads in golds five days ago.
[00:10:03]  So Dan Wetzel and the Chinese Communist Party public relations firm John Fang and Rob Minto for newsweek.com, ridiculous article.
[00:10:12]  As if we should care what the Chinese Communist Party has to say about the medal total.
[00:10:16]  So the whole idea over the last week was that China's actually winning and the Western press is covering for America and how dare we favor America.
[00:10:24]  Now let me be very clear.
[00:10:25]  I actually like the total medal count.
[00:10:28]  I like counting gold, silver, and bronze.
[00:10:30]  It's a totality of your country's ability to compete and succeed.
[00:10:36]  So how did it end?
[00:10:39]  And Olympics, one year delayed.
[00:10:42]  And let me just emphasize this point.
[00:10:44]  The Chinese Communist Party and their state-run media, they were playing this up big time over the last week.
[00:10:52]  That China was saying that this is their big moment to turn the corner and show the world that they are in charge, that the future belongs to the Chinese.
[00:11:03]  They were playing it up on all of their state-run media.
[00:11:07]  Now, this is nothing new.
[00:11:10]  You see, the role of sport in foreign policy was something the Soviets talked about a lot.
[00:11:18]  Soviet leaders made explicit the dependence on external sports relations on Soviet policy.
[00:11:26]  They had a Soviet National Olympic Committee, which was a government body appointed by the USSR.
[00:11:32]  Same sort of program by the Chinese Communist Party.
[00:11:36]  So how did it all end up?
[00:11:39]  Well, Dan Wetzel and National Public Radio and the Washington Post and the New York Times without ever really trying.
[00:11:51]  I am happy to say that the United States of America beat the TRICOMs in the final medal count with the final count in every single category.
[00:12:06]  The United States won.
[00:12:08]  39 gold, 41 silver, 33 bronze, with the TRICOMs with 38 gold.
[00:12:15]  We beat you, China.
[00:12:17]  Dan Wetzel, America's fragile ego.
[00:12:21]  America is on top and they are crying in Wuhan.
[00:12:25]  The cheaters, the liars, the sneak, the sneaky serpents that call themselves the communist Chinese, they are losers.
[00:12:32]  You hear that?
[00:12:33]  You see, the TRICOMs, they monitor this program.
[00:12:37]  I get written up in state Chinese media every so often because we are so vocally anti-Chinese government.
[00:12:44]  Now, I'm pro-Chinese people.
[00:12:45]  I think the Chinese people are beautiful and wonderful.
[00:12:48]  The government is evil and must be top-up.
[00:12:50]  I'm not exactly a regime change guy.
[00:12:53]  There is a regime we needed to change to be the Chinese Communist Party.
[00:12:56]  They are an existential threat.
[00:12:59]  Gold at any cost.
[00:13:00]  TheSun.com writes, pumping iron inside China's gold at any cost, Olympics machine with kids as young as four brutalized in training that still lost to the United States.
[00:13:12]  And you know what's so amazing is The Sun is a British publication, and they're one of the few publications that I found that actually was rubbing the United States victory in the medal count in the face of the Chinese.
[00:13:26]  But it shows these two and three-year-olds being tortured just to be able to be good at gymnastics.
[00:13:34]  I quote, the Chinese system is rooted in the Soviet model, which saw sport as a way of attracting prestige for the communist system.
[00:13:44]  Go Zhuojing, director of China's sport administration and head of the Chinese delegation, left no doubt about the country's goal, saying on the Eve of Tokyo, quote, we must resolutely ensure we are first in gold medals.
[00:14:00]  Let me say this again.
[00:14:01]  This is such a wonderful opportunity for the Chinese agent who calls himself our president to take a victory lap.
[00:14:11]  What a wonderful opportunity, wonderful opportunity for somebody in the United States government to rub this in the face of our greatest enemy.
[00:14:17]  Let me read this again.
[00:14:19]  Gua Zhaozhuang, who is the head of the Chinese sports administration.
[00:14:24]  So let me kind of tell you how this works.
[00:14:26]  Zhua Zhaozheng is like the Tony Fauci of sports in China.
[00:14:32]  Total control, unquestioning, but a total failure.
[00:14:37]  So Gao and Fauci, they probably have pork every so often when Fauci goes to Wuhan.
[00:14:43]  They're big pork fans in China, by the way.
[00:14:46]  Dogs, they love dogs.
[00:14:49]  Total failure.
[00:14:51]  An absolute failure.
[00:14:54]  We must resolutely ensure we are first in the gold medals.
[00:14:58]  Now, mind you, what makes the United States Olympic Committee different than the Chinese is we don't have government involvement.
[00:15:04]  It's a private enterprise.
[00:15:07]  The TRICOMs pump in hundreds of millions of dollars.
[00:15:11]  We don't actually know the number.
[00:15:13]  Could be billions of dollars.
[00:15:15]  So Guao Zhaozheng will probably be sent off to a concentration camp.
[00:15:19]  I'm not kidding.
[00:15:20]  That's the way this works.
[00:15:22]  They'll find another secular soulless idiot to go run their sports.
[00:15:27]  The state, the Chinese Communist Party, sends out scouts to hunt for tens of thousands of children for full-time training at more than 2,000 government-run sports schools.
[00:15:37]  I want you to think about that.
[00:15:38]  There are 2,000 government-run sports schools in China.
[00:15:44]  2,000.
[00:15:48]  Tests for selection sees kids being given challenges such as press-ups, endurance running, and bench presses that prioritize overall strength over specific skills.
[00:15:58]  Many Chinese parents used to send their kids to sports schools, lured by government subsidies and promising-looking careers for their children.
[00:16:06]  It doesn't matter if the sports have mass appeal or if their youngsters have interest.
[00:16:10]  If they are deemed worthy, it is their duty to perform for the sake of their nation.
[00:16:15]  You see some of these pictures, it is evil.
[00:16:18]  Children from rural areas or from families who are not so good economically, they adapt well to the hardships.
[00:16:27]  At the Li Zhuoshuang gymnastics school, there is little room for error.
[00:16:32]  They bow to their coaches and apology if they're not up to scratch.
[00:16:37]  And a bad performance is punished with extra weight training at the end of the day.
[00:16:40]  These are four-year-olds.
[00:16:42]  At night, they sleep in bunk beds, two sharing top mattresses, two lower berths in dormitories.
[00:16:50]  The pictures are, it's torture.
[00:16:52]  It should be a human rights violation.

=== China's Gymnastics Schools (05:35) ===

[00:16:55]  The pain is clearly unbearable, and his hands are clapsed over his face.
[00:17:00]  Continues by saying that for China, it is, quote, gold at any cost.
[00:17:09]  Chinese state media hit back saying that the West has sour grapes towards China because they have a leading position in the gold medal race.
[00:17:19]  Well, guess what, China?
[00:17:20]  Your billions of dollars, your torture of four-year-olds, your smug attitude, and your eating of dogs.
[00:17:26]  You are losers.
[00:17:28]  United States won, and you are first loser.
[00:17:34]  Who's your wireless provider?
[00:17:36]  ATT Verizon T-Mobile?
[00:17:38]  What if I told you PeerTalk USA uses the exact same network as one of those carriers?
[00:17:41]  Same towers, same exact coverage, but literally costs you half.
[00:17:44]  I know it sounds crazy.
[00:17:46]  When I first heard about PeerTalk, I thought this is too good to be true.
[00:17:49]  Sarah from Albilene, Texas, says, the service is amazing.
[00:17:52]  Love the price.
[00:17:52]  The speed is quick.
[00:17:53]  The reception is perfect.
[00:17:54]  Eugene from Granberry, Texas, good service.
[00:17:57]  Haven't any problems in our travels.
[00:17:59]  We move around the state pretty much.
[00:18:00]  Since giving up ATT, we really don't feel there's any difference in the quality.
[00:18:04]  We're getting ready to put our service on our iPads as well.
[00:18:07]  Switching is so easy.
[00:18:08]  You can keep your phone.
[00:18:09]  They'll just send you a SIM card so you can get the same great service you currently have at half the price.
[00:18:14]  So why is it so much cheaper than ATT, Verizon, or T-Mobile?
[00:18:17]  Well, the average person is saving $400 a year.
[00:18:21]  Listen to this: unlimited talk, text, and six gigs of data is just $30 a month.
[00:18:25]  So here's the deal: unlimited talk, unlimited text, plus two gigs of data for just $20 a month.
[00:18:31]  All you need to do is grab your phone and dial pound 250 and say, Charlie Kirk, that's pound 250.
[00:18:36]  Say keyword, Charlie Kirk.
[00:18:37]  And when you do, you'll save 50% off your first month.
[00:18:40]  Keyword, Charlie Kirk, pound 250.
[00:18:46]  You know, someone is emailing us.
[00:18:48]  They say, Charlie, I'm so happy to see the United States win.
[00:18:51]  Shouldn't we be gracious in victory?
[00:18:53]  I think that's probably true, but we're at war with the Chinese.
[00:18:56]  You just don't realize it yet.
[00:18:57]  They launched an epidemiological attack on our country.
[00:19:01]  And mockery and ridicule is a tactic that drives them insane.
[00:19:04]  It gets in their head.
[00:19:06]  You see, the Chinese don't have a Western ethic.
[00:19:09]  The Chinese don't believe in God.
[00:19:10]  They don't believe in polite.
[00:19:12]  They are liars by default.
[00:19:15]  I'm talking about the Chinese Communist Party, which is the dominant party in China.
[00:19:19]  All they understand is whether you win or whether you lose.
[00:19:24]  Now, some people say the Chinese are Buddhists.
[00:19:27]  That's just not even close to being true.
[00:19:29]  Buddhism is a small strain of religion in China.
[00:19:33]  It is a secular nation.
[00:19:34]  It is the largest atheist country ever to exist in the history of the world.
[00:19:38]  They have some strains of Confucianism, but they are a godless country.
[00:19:44]  And so being gracious in victory over people that launch war on you, I'm going to have some fun and delight in this.
[00:19:51]  Okay, so I want to get to a lot of other news.
[00:19:53]  I didn't mean to take this much time enjoying the United States victory.
[00:19:56]  But we should, you know, and the other reason why I want to enjoy this is that, have you felt like you've been beat down the last couple years?
[00:20:03]  That it's just this inevitable decline of America?
[00:20:07]  That it's just constantly managing things falling through?
[00:20:12]  That it's just, oh, it's just a matter before Chinese takes us over.
[00:20:16]  No, I want to tell you, we can beat the Chinese.
[00:20:20]  We can beat these people.
[00:20:23]  China is more vulnerable than the media will tell you.
[00:20:27]  And the Chinese media, they were pushing the Olympic count as the turning point.
[00:20:31]  Instead, it's a devastating blow for them.
[00:20:35]  I want to just get to one or two more articles just to show you how dishonest our own media is.
[00:20:40]  So I typed in to search engine, not Google, what was the medal count.
[00:20:46]  And this is the way our own media describes it.
[00:20:49]  It's incredible.
[00:20:51]  National public radio, which should be totally defunded, by the way.
[00:20:54]  I used to listen to NPR growing up.
[00:20:57]  He said this.
[00:20:58]  They say, closing ceremony wraps after Team USA.
[00:21:04]  No, this is the United States barely edges out China for most gold medals at Tokyo Olympics.
[00:21:10]  That's our own government-funded media.
[00:21:14]  Barely edges out.
[00:21:19]  Making it seem as if, well, it was really close, and maybe one year China will win again.
[00:21:26]  They wanted this to be their big moment, and they failed miserably.
[00:21:32]  So, yes, of course, I'm going to celebrate that.
[00:21:34]  I mean, the country that has a million Muslims in concentration camps, that takes over islands in the South China Sea, that hacks our cyber grid, buys our farmland, infiltrates our media, infiltrates our universities.
[00:21:48]  They think they're on the quest to world domination, but this was humiliating for them.
[00:21:55]  They are now going to have meetings and conferences.
[00:21:57]  And so the real question is, should we play ball in the upcoming Olympics six months from now in Beijing, the Winter Olympics?
[00:22:05]  No.
[00:22:05]  We should protest and we should boycott the Beijing 2022 Olympics.
[00:22:10]  I can't think of a better scenario.
[00:22:13]  We win in every medal for the Summer Olympic competition.
[00:22:16]  See it, ChiComs.
[00:22:18]  Maybe you guys can cheat your way to victory later.
[00:22:20]  By the way, these medal results will very much well be adjusted once we find out how much China has probably cheated in doping and age manipulation, lying about the way they do things.

=== Boycott the Beijing Olympics (13:19) ===

[00:22:30]  They are notorious at deception.
[00:22:34]  That is something they're very well known on.
[00:22:36]  Okay, I want to get to some other news of the day here.
[00:22:39]  And we're getting lots of emails.
[00:22:41]  You guys can email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:22:44]  And I, for one, am having a great day because I love seeing America win.
[00:22:48]  And I also almost equally love seeing evil people lose, especially the Chinese.
[00:22:54]  Okay, let's get to some more news here.
[00:22:56]  The $3.5 trillion bill has been unveiled by the Democrats, a big budget plan, but that's only part one.
[00:23:04]  The other part that we have to focus on before is this infrastructure bill.
[00:23:09]  What's going on here?
[00:23:11]  Well, essentially, there's a massive infrastructure debate happening right now in Congress.
[00:23:17]  We've talked about this in so many words.
[00:23:20]  And for whatever reason, 18 Republicans have decided that while the border is wide open, while crime is being increased dramatically, that the most important thing they could do is to betray their voters and to try to negotiate a massive infrastructure package.
[00:23:40]  I want to go to cut 14 to just kind of set the terms of this debate right here.
[00:23:44]  Now, we're talking about two separate bills: there's a $3.5 trillion reconciliation package and an added-on $1 trillion infrastructure package.
[00:23:53]  They are separate, and they're both garbage.
[00:23:56]  They're both scams.
[00:23:58]  The infrastructure package is a $1.2 trillion bill that does not need to get passed.
[00:24:03]  But 18 Republicans are just, they can't sit still.
[00:24:08]  They just can't wait.
[00:24:10]  They can't.
[00:24:12]  They're almost looking at an opportunity to turn their back on their voters and to pander to Washington, D.C. lobbyists.
[00:24:19]  Let's play Cut 14 of Senator Ted Cruz kind of set the terms of this debate, Cut 14.
[00:24:25]  And when you add up the spending from December 2020 to now, with the Biden budget request, with the Democrats' tax and spend reconciliation proposal, with this infrastructure bill, with the so-called COVID relief bill, and with the emergency spending in December, you hit a whopping $9.5 trillion.
[00:24:51]  $9.5 trillion.
[00:24:57]  So why are Republicans playing along with this?
[00:25:01]  I've asked that question of a couple senators, and their responses, I'm going to privately dialogue with some of them, have been lackluster.
[00:25:10]  So where is this money being allocated?
[00:25:14]  Well, the infrastructure package, again, being different than the $3.5 trillion package, only $127 billion of it actually goes to infrastructure.
[00:25:26]  $7.5 billion will go to the first ever network of electric vehicle charging stations.
[00:25:34]  Infrastructure for electric vehicles, now it makes sense.
[00:25:38]  That's why Nancy Pelosi bought all that Tesla stuff.
[00:25:42]  Democrats, of course, being led by Biden, wanted to see new tax revenues such as a new gas tax, which was rejected by Republican senators.
[00:25:52]  The money's allocated $110 billion for roads and bridges, $39 billion for public transit, $7.5 billion for electric vehicles, $650 billion in funding from the bill comes from existing plans and planned investments in the country's roads, bridges, and highways.
[00:26:11]  Now, this is just some of the details that we're still learning.
[00:26:13]  Now, how about this?
[00:26:14]  $21 billion that will be earmarked for environmental remediation, whatever that is, or $50 billion under the catch-all category of climate resilience and western water storage.
[00:26:29]  The Washington Post reports that the bill has unleashed a lobbying bonanza with more than 2,000 companies and groups engaging Washington officials on infrastructure this year alone.
[00:26:42]  So let me tell you how this works.
[00:26:44]  Fortunately, it's a system I've seen happen in real time.
[00:26:48]  And regardless of Republican or Democrat, anyone that wishes to stand up against this sort of disgusting process, I will ally with them.
[00:26:56]  Here's how it works.
[00:26:58]  XYZ senator gets elected, let's say Senator Lisa Murkowski.
[00:27:03]  And while she gets elected, she does lots of fundraisers, many of whom in Washington, D.C., where she will have an event at some sort of lobbyist's office with a cheese tray and Diet Coke and $5 wine.
[00:27:22]  She will require $2,700 for every person to come into this reception.
[00:27:30]  And every single one of them works for one of the lobbying firms.
[00:27:34]  As a condition for that fundraiser, Lisa Murkowski then has to meet with those people beforehand.
[00:27:40]  And it's very clear that the $2,700 is being given under the condition and the expectation that when spending bills come, she's going to pick up the phone.
[00:27:50]  So now Lisa Murkowski's in the fight of her life in Alaska.
[00:27:56]  And so now these lobbyists are saying, hey, Senator Murkowski, if you want another volley and round of $2,700, you're going to have to do what we want to do.
[00:28:05]  For example, you're going to have to go put in electric vehicle charging stations, even though Alaska, obviously, has one of the largest depositories of natural gas on the planet.
[00:28:19]  Kim Strassel from the Wall Street Journal says, so why did 17 Republican senators vote to proceed?
[00:28:24]  On the baser end of the scale, here's the dirty little secret: the bill fundamentally amounts to a heap of spending, and some Republicans can spend with the best of Democrats.
[00:28:34]  The member press releases are already flying, bragging about the pork they are directing back to their home states.
[00:28:43]  The more charitable view is that some Republicans think that the bill helped reduce the reconciliation price tag.
[00:28:51]  Others make the stronger argument that the show of bipartisanship possibly makes it harder for Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema to abandon the filibuster.
[00:29:01]  Wall Street Journal also has a piece called the Electric Vehicle Welfare State.
[00:29:05]  Car makers back the Biden climate agenda in return for subsidies for higher consumer prices.
[00:29:16]  The infrastructure bill could enable government to track drivers' travel data.
[00:29:22]  Ever since we passed the 17th Amendment, which was the direct election of senators, you have these senators that are not listening to their voters.
[00:29:31]  They don't listen to what's best for their state or the state legislatures.
[00:29:34]  Instead, they listen to what's best for the lobbyists and the corporate donors.
[00:29:38]  This system must be disrupted.
[00:29:41]  I'm going to tell you about some of my conversations with some of these senators, who I think have convinced themselves that they're doing the right thing, but they are not doing the right thing.
[00:29:49]  We're already in the midst of an inflation crisis.
[00:29:52]  And who would ever think that another trillion dollars in a massive influx of spending is somehow a good idea?
[00:30:00]  The border is wide open.
[00:30:02]  We have medical apartheid of people that are not able to go into restaurants or go to school because they have not taken experimental medicine.
[00:30:09]  And Republicans, instead of doing anything about that, are now giving Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden another trillion dollars as a slush fund to destroy the country.
[00:30:24]  Is that what you guys voted for?
[00:30:26]  I want to go through the senators that are chomping at the bit to try and negotiate.
[00:30:38]  It's not even negotiation.
[00:30:40]  It's a pandering.
[00:30:41]  It's a handout.
[00:30:43]  So we're going to say these names clearly and slowly.
[00:30:45]  Tucker Carlson did this as well.
[00:30:48]  But we're going to do this again because they need to hear from you.
[00:30:53]  This bill has not yet passed yet.
[00:30:55]  In fact, Todd Young, I believe, and Connor can add some clarity to this, backed out because of the public pressure that was put on him from Idaho, from Indiana voters.
[00:31:09]  Okay.
[00:31:10]  Senator Blunt from Missouri.
[00:31:13]  Senator Burr from North Carolina.
[00:31:15]  He just doesn't care.
[00:31:15]  He just wants to be a lobbyist.
[00:31:16]  He's done.
[00:31:18]  Senator Capodo from West Virginia.
[00:31:21]  Senator Cassidy from Louisiana.
[00:31:23]  Senator Collins from Maine.
[00:31:25]  No surprise.
[00:31:27]  Senator Cornyn from Texas.
[00:31:30]  Senator Kramer from North Dakota.
[00:31:33]  Senator Crapo from Idaho, Senator Fisher from Nebraska, Senator Hoven from North Dakota, Senator McConnell from Kentucky, Senator Murkowski from Alaska, Senator Portman from Ohio,
[00:31:48]  another future lobbyist who just doesn't care, or university president of some indoctrination center, Senator Risch of Idaho, Senator Romney from Utah, no surprise, Senator Sullivan from Alaska, and Senator Tellis from North Carolina, and Senator Wicker from Mississippi.
[00:32:06]  Meanwhile, Senator Todd Young, who is up for re-election in 2022, announced he would now oppose the bill, citing concerns about the national debt.
[00:32:15]  Young was previously part of a larger group of 20 senators that supported the bipartisan infrastructure talks.
[00:32:22]  See how that works?
[00:32:23]  Public pressure, they reverse.
[00:32:26]  Now, missing from the list is Senator Graham, because Senator Graham originally was on the list, so I don't know what happened to him.
[00:32:36]  So the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, they've now invoked cloture, all this ridiculous procedure they have to go through in the United States Senate, some of which is actually helpful to kill really bad pieces of legislation.
[00:32:51]  Because now you have the Democrats, we know they're going to be on board for multi-trillion dollars in spending.
[00:32:55]  They think the bigger the government gets, eventually they're going to get human beings towards perfection.
[00:33:01]  This is part of their view.
[00:33:02]  It's part of this view of the Hegelian dialectic of progressivism, the cult of science.
[00:33:08]  But why are Republicans doing this?
[00:33:10]  Why are Republicans in really deep red states doing this?
[00:33:14]  And so I have some private text messages.
[00:33:17]  I'm not going to say who they're from.
[00:33:19]  Of some of these Republican senators that are trying to justify what they're doing.
[00:33:23]  And they're basically saying, here's the essence.
[00:33:26]  We didn't win enough seats to get everything we wanted.
[00:33:30]  Therefore, we must now negotiate.
[00:33:32]  Well, when you guys did have a Senate majority, you didn't do anything useful anyway, except judges, many of whom have really disappointed us.
[00:33:41]  But let me get this straight.
[00:33:42]  So you lose elections in certain states, but you win your elections.
[00:33:49]  Therefore, you must pander to Chuck Schumer because he is a 50-50 tie in the United States Senate.
[00:33:55]  Am I understanding that correctly?
[00:33:58]  That it's always a good time to pander for a trillion dollars in green energy.
[00:34:04]  You see, the Democrats, they know that if they push hard enough, the weak Republicans will break.
[00:34:15]  You can say a lot about Democrats.
[00:34:18]  In fact, we do our mission.
[00:34:19]  Anti-American, Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, Communists, Marxists.
[00:34:26]  But they don't take threats from Republicans seriously.
[00:34:31]  They know they're in charge, and they're willing to use political power.
[00:34:35]  Republicans, on the other hand, we always have this desire to win over Democrats, as if this is a coffee shop debate at Yale.
[00:34:42]  Please like me, socialist person.
[00:34:44]  Please, can I get invited to your cocktail party?
[00:34:46]  My wife can sit on the board of a college if I do your infrastructure bill.
[00:34:50]  If I named off one of your senators, contact them now.
[00:34:54]  Flood their offices.
[00:34:56]  Say, I did not elect you to be Joe Biden's paper boy in the United States Senate.

[00:36:08]  Just in August, there's been 28 people shot and killed, 140 people shot and wounded, and 168 people total shot, and 29 homicides in the city of Chicago.
[00:36:17]  A person is shot every one hour and 57 minutes, and a person is murdered every 10 hours and 42 minutes.
[00:36:23]  Just this year alone, 468 people have been shot and killed, 2,262 people shot and wounded, 2,730 people total shot, and 494 total homicides.
[00:36:34]  Just this last week in Chicago, 23 people shot and killed, and 103 shot and wounded, 126 total shot, and 24 homicides.
[00:36:44]  This last weekend, a police officer was killed in cold blood in Chicago.
[00:36:51]  Her name, Ella French.
[00:36:56]  If Ella French was a fentanyl-filled drug addict, then everyone would be saying her name and having shirts and billboards dedicated to her.
[00:37:06]  But no, instead, Ella French was a police officer who just wanted to do good.
[00:37:13]  Play cut six of the cold-blooded murder of a police officer in Chicago that is finally starting to get some headlines out of people.
[00:37:21]  And by the way, she had a two-month baby at home.
[00:37:25]  This is what happens when you get lunatics like Corey Bush saying that you have to defund the police.
[00:37:30]  Gangbangers and thugs start to kill police officers in cold blood.
[00:37:35]  Cut six.
[00:37:36]  29-year-old officer Ella French died from a gunshot wound to the head.
[00:37:41]  She joined the force in 2018 because she wanted to do good, according to her brother, who says Ella wanted to see people get the help they needed more than throwing people in jail.
[00:37:51]  The other officer, a six-year veteran on the force, is in critical condition and fighting for his life after being shot three times, including one bullet that went through his eye.
[00:38:02]  Cut seven is the police scanner audio of the call made for officers down.
[00:38:06]  Before we get to that, if you go to the New York Times.com, WashingtonPost.com, no coverage at all.
[00:38:11]  Of course.
[00:38:13]  And then cover David Dorn.
[00:38:15]  They don't cover when police officers are murdered in cold blood by gangbangers and criminals.
[00:38:20]  Instead, they cover when criminals die.
[00:38:23]  Cut seven.
[00:38:27]  I got an officer down.
[00:38:28]  10-1, 10-1, 6-3 and bail.
[00:38:29]  Officer down, officer down, stopped at the police.
[00:38:32]  Officer down, male black, a blue cuff jersey.
[00:38:35]  He shot at the police.
[00:38:36]  6-3 and bail.
[00:38:37]  Give it some good.
[00:38:39]  Connor, can you get the name and face of the person who killed Ella French?
[00:38:43]  I think it's important that we say that person's name just because the same way we said Derek Chauvin's name.
[00:38:49]  Media is not interested in that.
[00:38:50]  The head of the Chicago Police Union says that Lori Lightfoot has emboldened criminals by not backing the police.
[00:38:56]  Now she has to pivot before it's too late.
[00:38:59]  Cut nine.
[00:39:00]  It's disgusting.
[00:39:02]  And now because the political climate says the defund policy and the police maybe aren't the enemy, now she has to pivot and now she has to be our best friend.
[00:39:10]  It's too damn late.
[00:39:11]  The men and women of this police department have no respect for this mayor.
[00:39:15]  And this liberal, I'm not sure if it's a liberal commentator or whatever, this is the way a lot of people think.
[00:39:21]  Says that I'm not defending the person who murdered a police officer or killed a cop.
[00:39:26]  I should say murder implies the victim is human.
[00:39:29]  You hear that?
[00:39:32]  Police officers aren't human.
[00:39:34]  It's okay to kill them.
[00:39:36]  So while our government is allegedly concerned about the spread of a virus has a 0.04% fatality rate, must wear masks everywhere you go, questionable vaccine results.
[00:39:50]  No, the blood in the streets and the carnage in Chicago, you dare mention it, you're a white supremacist because they're not human.
[00:39:57]  Cut 10.
[00:39:59]  On folks, is it possible maybe that we don't need to be living in a world where like armed thug gangsters will pull random people over just for fun?
[00:40:08]  Because that makes people upset.
[00:40:09]  Hey, I'm not defending the person who murdered a cop or who killed a cop, I should say.
[00:40:14]  It's not murder because murder implies that the victim is a human.
[00:40:17]  You hear that?
[00:40:18]  It's the cops that are the gangsters pulling over for no reason.
[00:40:22]  Oh, so obviously it's a TikToker or whatever, you know, the modern philosopher King.
[00:40:31]  The statement that is held by millions of Americans around police officers is that, okay, you pull them over for nothing, and then they deserve to get shot in the eye.
[00:40:42]  This person's a TikTok influencer, and they won't have their stuff taken down.
[00:40:45]  And by the way, that sort of, I want to replay this tape because it happens so quickly.
[00:40:49]  Your children should not be allowed to have smartphones before they reach the age of 18.
[00:40:55]  Because every time that you turn your back on them and you might be washing the dishes and they turn down their smartphone, these are the people that are teaching your children.
[00:41:03]  There are thousands of people on TikTok and on Instagram and Snapchat that espouse these ideas.
[00:41:10]  People say, Charlie, why is it that young people tend to be so liberal?
[00:41:13]  It's because parents really, quite honestly, haven't really taken parenting seriously.
[00:41:18]  They've just given them a phone.
[00:41:20]  It's their digital pacifier.
[00:41:21]  And they say, here, you know, don't bother me right now.
[00:41:24]  I got to go be a boss babe or whatever millennial moms have to do.
[00:41:29]  Play that again.
[00:41:30]  I want you to play this again.
[00:41:32]  This is someone who has a serious following on social media, who calls the police officers gangsters, who says that cops are not humans.
[00:41:42]  Massive social media following.
[00:41:44]  And of course, nothing to say, like, oh, yeah, you pull out a gun and you shoot someone in the eye.
[00:41:50]  Yeah, no comment on that.
[00:41:52]  Cut 10.
[00:41:53]  On folks, is it possible, maybe, that we don't need to be living in a world where like armed thug gangsters will pull random people over just for fun?
[00:42:01]  Because that makes people upset.
[00:42:03]  Hey, I'm not defending the person who murdered a cop or who killed a cop, I should say.
[00:42:07]  It's not murder, because murder implies that the victim is a human.
[00:42:10]  You see, that person thinks they're being so cute.
[00:42:12]  Oh, yeah, murder implies the victim is human because police officers are not human.
[00:42:18]  Of course, Chicago is not releasing the names or the faces of the thugs that killed Ella French.
[00:42:24]  They're all in custody.
[00:42:25]  Their names will come out soon and eventually.
[00:42:28]  They're not releasing the background of the gangbangers that killed this police in cold blood, but we'll get their names.
[00:42:36]  We'll make them very famous.
[00:42:38]  Happen on the west side of Chicago.
[00:42:41]  So we're supposed to change our entire life around the idea of public health.
[00:42:50]  It's kind of the new thing, right?
[00:42:51]  Supposed to wear masks, children have to wear masks, get vaccinated.
[00:42:54]  By the way, breaking news, the military is now going to require vaccinations by September 15th.
[00:43:02]  And Republican leaders aren't standing up for the military.
[00:43:04]  Of course, no, they're negotiating infrastructure.
[00:43:09]  The distance between the Republicans we send to Washington, D.C. and the voters and the wants and concerns of their citizens.
[00:43:17]  It's actually, I was going to say it's impressive.
[00:43:20]  It's not.
[00:43:22]  It's not the right word.
[00:43:24]  It's stunning.
[00:43:25]  It's shocking.
[00:43:26]  It's hard to believe that our system of government has such unbelievably self-righteous, sanctimonious people in D.C. We're supposed to reorganize society around public health.
[00:43:41]  So I'm just curious, maybe Connor can get the numbers.
[00:43:44]  How many people have died of the Chinese coronavirus in Chicago in the last couple days?
[00:43:52]  We know that 29 people have died August to date in just Chicago.
[00:44:00]  So where are the leaders speaking out against this?
[00:44:08]  Where's Obama?
[00:44:11]  Obama's Chicago's hometown, allegedly.
[00:44:15]  I'm laughing because I'm from the suburbs of Chicago.
[00:44:18]  Barry Sotero is from Chicago, like I'm from Phoenix.
[00:44:22]  He moved there.
[00:44:23]  Okay?
[00:44:25]  Barry Sotero, Barry Hussein Sotero.
[00:44:30]  He went to Harvard and Columbia, grew up in Hawaii.
[00:44:36]  Oh, okay.
[00:44:36]  So here's what we know: 21 Chinese coronavirus deaths in Cook County in August.
[00:44:42]  29 total homicides.
[00:44:44]  You are more likely to die from a gangbanger than from the Chinese coronavirus.
[00:44:50]  So maybe instead of wearing a mask, you should do something about that.
[00:44:55]  Obama had a birthday party.
[00:44:59]  This last.
[00:45:00]  While, of course, Ella French was murdered in the streets of Chicago.
[00:45:04]  Isn't it interesting that Chicago does, that Obama doesn't spend his summers in Chicago?
[00:45:10]  Why doesn't Obama spend his summers in Englewood?
[00:45:13]  He's afraid he's going to get shot.
[00:45:15]  That's why.
[00:45:16]  No, no, no.
[00:45:16]  Instead, Barack Hussein Sotero Obama spends his summers at the Ritzy, exclusive, isolated, mostly white Martha's Vineyard Island.
[00:45:34]  Now, I just want to give you a little bit of a fact kind of sheet on Martha's Vineyard.
[00:45:40]  People talk about it.
[00:45:41]  I've actually never been to Martha's Vineyard, but I know quite a lot about it.
[00:45:44]  One of the reasons I've never been there is it's so hard to get to.
[00:45:47]  It's literally an island.
[00:45:49]  It's kind of where the ruling class of the Northeast go to plot and plan, reflect, and chart the course of the future.
[00:45:59]  So Obama turned 60, and we're supposed to care about this.
[00:46:03]  Now, this is just a general comment.
[00:46:05]  I'm going to get a lot of hate benefits.
[00:46:07]  A general comment on humanity.
[00:46:10]  But people that really care about celebrating their own birthday, like where they make it a really big deal, like it's my birthday.
[00:46:16]  I have to do this, generally not really big fans of these types of people.
[00:46:22]  People that kind of shrug, like, yeah, I guess it's my birthday.
[00:46:25]  That's my style.
[00:46:26]  It's like, yeah, I guess I'm just going to go to work.
[00:46:27]  Like, thanks for the cake.
[00:46:28]  Okay, let's talk about whatever.
[00:46:30]  So Obama put on this massive party.
[00:46:33]  Total narcissism.
[00:46:37]  And people say, y'all have never seen Obama like this in your life.
[00:46:41]  Nobody ever seen Obama like this.
[00:46:43]  Now, of course, he lives in a $12 million mansion.
[00:46:48]  Now, I would say the address is publicly available.
[00:46:54]  I don't want to say it because I don't want to get accused of doxing, but let's just say the main area, it's right on the water, which is interesting because I thought we were going to all suffer from climate change.
[00:47:06]  By the way, of the 15,966 people who live on Martha's Vineyard, 511 are African American.
[00:47:16]  So it's 90% white.
[00:47:18]  So Obama is Obama, does Obama have contempt for the black population in America?
[00:47:24]  Does Obama not want to live amongst the people that launched his political career?
[00:47:30]  Anyway, so Obama really wanted to have the 60th birthday party.
[00:47:34]  He really wanted to have this birthday bash.
[00:47:37]  But he had a little bit of a problem.
[00:47:39]  You see, the narrative on the Democrat side is we have to be really worried.
[00:47:43]  We have to act as if things are really terrible right now to try to justify more power for ourselves.
[00:47:47]  They said, huh?
[00:47:48]  How do we have a party with all of these anti-American narcissists while getting, oh, we're going to say we're scaling it back?
[00:47:56]  That was their big thing because of the Delta variant.
[00:47:59]  So they had Beyoncé, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen.
[00:48:02]  I thought Chrissy Teigen was canceled because she basically told people to go kill themselves a lot.
[00:48:07]  Nope, she still came.
[00:48:10]  Who else was in attendance?
[00:48:12]  I'm sure we have the whole list there.
[00:48:13]  Anyway, so they said, oh, we're scaling it back.
[00:48:16]  And instead, they built this superstructure.
[00:48:20]  And Steven Spielberg was there.
[00:48:21]  Jay-Z was there.
[00:48:23]  I'm talking about a tent city that looked like something out of a Harry Potter film.
[00:48:31]  You've never seen anything like this.
[00:48:33]  It's one of the largest tent structures ever.
[00:48:38]  And they say, oh, no, no, yeah, we scaled it down.
[00:48:39]  They didn't scale anything.
[00:48:43]  And then pictures were leaked from the DJ, and he will be sent to the camps soon, audited, and his family will be targeted.
[00:48:50]  Where he took pictures and he started posting it.
[00:48:53]  And what did we find?
[00:48:55]  We found that Obama and Michelle and Jay-Z and John Legend, they weren't wearing masks.
[00:49:04]  They were inside enjoying their 90% white neighborhood in Martha's Vineyard in their $12 million home in a superstructure tent, all while complaining about racial justice, not wearing masks.
[00:49:18]  Yet your child this fall might have to wear a mask.
[00:49:23]  In fact, if you walk into a restaurant here in Las Vegas, they will scream at you if you're not wearing a mask.
[00:49:30]  They don't care about you.

=== The Sophisticated Vaccinated Crowd (04:54) ===

[00:52:47]  Obama was partying while a cop was murdered in his hometown of Chicago.
[00:52:54]  Again, if Obama had a 60th birthday party, why didn't he have the 60th birthday party in Chicago?
[00:53:01]  Why not right in the middle of Hyde Park?
[00:53:04]  Because it's not safe?
[00:53:06]  You can judge a person rather well.
[00:53:10]  You can see a lot about a person on the town and the home they used to be in, whether or not they want to associate with it anymore.
[00:53:18]  No, Obama wants to be in Martha's Vineyard.
[00:53:21]  So it's really incredible.
[00:53:24]  I have to say, they just keep on outdoing themselves.
[00:53:28]  So Anna Carney, who's the New York Times White House correspondent, she hasn't really done much journalism lately.
[00:53:34]  She doesn't have to because she's state-run media.
[00:53:36]  She did a lot under Obama, I mean, under Trump.
[00:53:40]  So she was asked about Obama's party guests.
[00:53:43]  Okay, so Lola Palooza happened in Chicago, which growing up in Chicago, you know about Lola.
[00:53:48]  It's hundreds of thousands of spoiled brat upper-middle-class suburban kids who think they're being super rebellious to go downtown Chicago, no social distancing, and go do a bunch of weed.
[00:53:57]  These are good people that go to Lola too, but that's basically it.
[00:54:00]  Okay, so Andrews calls it, it says it's Lala Palooza.
[00:54:03]  Okay.
[00:54:04]  So just so you're clear, this is a debate we had all throughout high school.
[00:54:07]  Okay.
[00:54:08]  People would call it Lola.
[00:54:10]  Andrew, I grew up in Chicago.
[00:54:11]  Okay.
[00:54:12]  Thinks he knows what, thinks he knows what Lola is.
[00:54:15]  It's a debate.
[00:54:16]  Some people say it's 100% Lala.
[00:54:19]  Anyway.
[00:54:21]  The point, not going to die on this hill.
[00:54:24]  Okay.
[00:54:24]  It's been about a decade since I've talked about this.
[00:54:26]  It could very well be wrong.
[00:54:28]  Total side note.
[00:54:29]  No social distancing.
[00:54:30]  No mat with some masks, whatever.
[00:54:34]  So this woman, I don't know, or Anna Carney says, this is what she has to say.
[00:54:38]  Oh, no, no.
[00:54:39]  The Obama thing was fine because it was a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd.
[00:54:46]  See, they're not like the unwashed at the biker rally.
[00:54:51]  They're not like the deplorable, smelly people.
[00:54:55]  This is a person that writes for the New York Times.
[00:54:57]  Play cut 11.
[00:54:59]  Other people said, you know, this is really being overblown.
[00:55:04]  They're following all the safety precautions.
[00:55:06]  People are going to sporting events that are bigger than this.
[00:55:09]  This is going to be safe.
[00:55:10]  This is a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd.
[00:55:13]  And this is just about optics.
[00:55:14]  It's not about safety.
[00:55:16]  It's a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd.
[00:55:18]  I mean, come on.
[00:55:19]  They're part of the ruling class.
[00:55:21]  They do what they want.
[00:55:22]  It's not like they have to be worried about the concerns of the underlings.
[00:55:26]  This is a theme that we're seeing.
[00:55:28]  And, you know, hypocrisy used to make people lose their jobs.
[00:55:34]  Fauci, by the other side, on the other hand, he goes after all of those that attended the Sturgis motorcycle rally, which, again, I've never been to Sturgis.
[00:55:44]  I know a lot of people that go, now those are great people.
[00:55:47]  The Obama people, forget it.
[00:55:48]  The Sturgis people, they love America.
[00:55:50]  But I think it's mostly outdoors, literally riding on a motorcycle, not a lot of chance for transmission.
[00:55:57]  Again, at this point, are we really going to all of a sudden relock?
[00:56:00]  Well, we are relocking when it comes to it.
[00:56:02]  But it's really something we have to worry about, overemphasis.
[00:56:04]  No, no, no.
[00:56:05]  Fauci says around Sturgis ignores the Obama thing, ignores Lala or Lola Palooza, whatever.
[00:56:13]  But he focuses on the Sturgis motorcycle rally.
[00:56:16]  Why?
[00:56:17]  Here's why.
[00:56:18]  There's very few Joe Biden voters that go to the Sturgis motorcycle rally.
[00:56:22]  That's why.
[00:56:22]  Cut one.
[00:56:24]  Well, I'm very concerned, Chuck, that we're going to see another surge related to that rally.
[00:56:30]  There comes a time when you're dealing with a public health crisis that could involve you, your family, and everyone else, that something supersedes that need to do exactly what you want to do.
[00:56:42]  I mean, you're going to ultimately be able to do that in the future, but let's get this pandemic under control before we start acting like nothing is going on.
[00:56:52]  You know, the more I listen to these him talk, I think he's saying without realizing it, let's get this under control.
[00:57:00]  Let's get you under control.
[00:57:02]  You guys can email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:57:06]  What do you make of this video?
[00:57:08]  I'm not going to say anything about it.
[00:57:10]  Cut 13, Joe Biden mandated masks on federal property, and then he was seen not wearing a mask on federal property later the same day.
[00:57:17]  Cut 13.
[00:57:19]  The first order I'm going to be signing here is requiring, as I said all along, or I have authority, mandating masks be worn, social distancing be kept on federal property, on interstate commerce, etc.
[00:57:32]  Hello, all the participants of tonight's event.
[00:57:37]  It's humbling to stand here in this place in front of these sacred words.

=== Biden's Mask Mandate Contradiction (05:16) ===

[00:57:42]  No mask.
[00:57:43]  There's a phenomenal article by Jeffrey H. Anderson in the Claremont Review of Books.
[00:57:48]  I highly recommend it.
[00:57:50]  If you're looking just for a journal where they really get stuff right, the Claremont Review of Books is phenomenal.
[00:57:54]  Called The Masking of America.
[00:57:57]  And the argument that is made in this piece is that we are entering a period of permanent masks.
[00:58:05]  This is what two doctors at New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine said: quote, we should never fully return to our maskless society where only health care providers donned a mask.
[00:58:18]  Because judicious use of masks will continue to save lives.
[00:58:23]  This is the New York Mount Sinai School of Medicine said.
[00:58:30]  Faceless people make compliant subjects not good citizens.
[00:58:39]  Faceless people make you more likely to obey.
[00:58:46]  Seeing and showing the face is a fundamental aspect of human existence.
[00:58:54]  Can't see the face, you can't see the totality of emotion.
[00:59:00]  He writes in this article: Americans' reaction to COVID-19, however, has been radically different from their behavior in 1968, 1957, or 1918.
[00:59:09]  Writing in the Wall Street Journal, the Hoover Institution's Neil Ferguson, who's phenomenal, by the way, recalls that President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ike, asked Congress for $2.5 million in additional funding for the public health service during the Asian flu.
[00:59:24]  Overall, Congress has authorized about 2 million times more than that for COVID-19.
[00:59:30]  In 1957, there was no widespread school closures, travel bans, or mask mandates.
[00:59:34]  Ferguson quotes one person's recollection of those days, quote, for those who grew up in the 1930s and 40s, there is nothing unusual but finding yourself threatened by contagious disease.
[00:59:45]  Mumps, measles, chickenpox, and German measles swept through entire schools and towns.
[00:59:50]  I had all four.
[00:59:51]  We took the Asian flu in stride.
[00:59:54]  Jeffrey makes a phenomenal point here, which I want to expand on, which people say, trust the science.
[01:00:02]  Trust the science.
[01:00:04]  And we've even gone into the biblical roots of science and all of that, but you cannot allow only science to govern you.
[01:00:13]  Now, this is considered heresy.
[01:00:16]  Science is the religion.
[01:00:19]  It is the moral compass or lack thereof of America's ruling class.
[01:00:25]  You ever notice Nancy Pelosi does her press conferences with a massive badge of the healthcare science?
[01:00:35]  For her, that's her ultimate principle.
[01:00:37]  Not her alleged Catholicism, not her faith, not her country, but it's science.
[01:00:45]  Socrates warned against this.
[01:00:48]  Socrates made it clear in Plato's Republic that he did not want doctors to rule.
[01:00:55]  Why?
[01:00:56]  Well, it's because he understood that doctors, by contrast, tend to disregard the soul of a human being.
[01:01:08]  It is the nature of their art to focus on the body in lieu of higher concerns.
[01:01:16]  Greek philosophers and poets alike celebrated courage in the face of death, Anderson writes.
[01:01:23]  Plato, Socrates, and Homer's Achilles were undeterred from their noble missions by their fear of the grave.
[01:01:31]  But rule by public health officials under which we increasingly live today encourages excessive risk aversion and almost transforms cowardice into a virtue.
[01:01:42]  I just have to be safe.
[01:01:44]  Being ruled by hypochondriacs.
[01:01:48]  He continues by saying that Westerners at their best recognize that each individual human being is unique and has inherent value.
[01:01:59]  Charles Darwin, of whom I'm not a massive fan of, did write extensively about the face, about how that is a unique characteristic of a human being.
[01:02:08]  Darwin observed in his 1872 book, The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals, that communication, according to Darwin, was, quote, of paramount importance to the development of man.
[01:02:20]  The human communication is, quote, much aided by the expressive movements of the face and the body.
[01:02:28]  Not to mention the masks aren't even having the efficacy you think they're having.
[01:02:33]  Note in great detail here that minors are far less apt to spread the virus, and the CDC statistics show that 99.9% of COVID deaths in the United States have not been minors, but adults.
[01:02:46]  If you drive your child to school and they're forced to wear a mask at school, they're more likely to die in the car ride over than from the Chinese coronavirus.

=== One Step Toward Dictatorship (05:46) ===

[01:02:58]  If your school cared about your child's safety, they would ban cholesterol driving to the local school.
[01:03:07]  But of course, if safety is your ultimate value, you're going to live a pretty depressing life.
[01:03:14]  You're going to be in agoraphobic fear of leaving one's home.
[01:03:20]  But those people are easy to control.
[01:03:23]  Wear the mask, Neanderthal.
[01:03:26]  You're not as enlightened as we are.
[01:03:28]  But the goal, of course, is not stopping the epidemiological spread.
[01:03:31]  It's something we've talked about many times here since the beginning of the mask hysteria.
[01:03:37]  It's creating compliant subjects, not good citizens.
[01:03:43]  And what are you going to do about it?
[01:03:45]  And why are we still putting up with this?
[01:03:47]  I think we have the clip here of Obama dancing at his party.
[01:03:52]  Do we have that one loaded up?
[01:03:53]  Let's play Cut 16 Instagram video of Obama dancing.
[01:03:56]  You guys can make your own judgments.
[01:03:57]  Tell me what you think.
[01:03:58]  Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
[01:03:59]  PlayCut 16.
[01:04:08]  Sure doesn't feel like a pandemic where we must be very serious and lock down everything, but you Sturgis motorcycle rally, unwashed terrible people, Obama's Martha's Vineyard, whatever that was.
[01:04:20]  Joe Rogan is speaking out against vaccination passports.
[01:04:24]  Play Cut 17, and he is not alone.
[01:04:27]  By the way, they're mandating the vaccine for the military.
[01:04:29]  They're mandating the vaccine for schools.
[01:04:31]  And people say, Charlie, what can I do?
[01:04:33]  Well, unfortunately, your Republican leaders have abandoned you.
[01:04:37]  They are not protecting you.
[01:04:40]  Your Republican leaders, your governors and your senators, they quite honestly think so little of you, they don't even speak out against these mandatory vaccination measures.
[01:04:52]  Except Rand Paul.
[01:04:53]  He's been pretty good.
[01:04:54]  Play Cut 17.
[01:04:56]  Because when you give people freedom, you let people do whatever the f they want to do, they actually find ways to succeed and grow and thrive.
[01:05:03]  But as soon as you put the boots to them, as soon as you tell them, you have to do this or you can't do that, you have to listen to me.
[01:05:10]  Now you have a mini dictator.
[01:05:12]  You have one step away from a king.
[01:05:14]  You have one step closer.
[01:05:16]  You're moving one step closer to dictatorship.
[01:05:19]  That's what the f is happening.
[01:05:20]  That's what's going to happen with a vaccine passport.
[01:05:22]  That's what's going to happen if they close borders.
[01:05:24]  You can't enter New York City unless you have your papers.
[01:05:27]  Yep, that's what's happening, Joe Rogan.
[01:05:29]  Welcome to the party.
[01:05:30]  I've been here for about a year and a half, but better late than never.
[01:05:33]  He's been, I've got to give Joe credit.
[01:05:35]  He has been talking on this theme, but that's the most explicit he has been on this topic.
[01:05:41]  Now, this is, of course, nothing against the people of Arkansas, but one of the leaders, alleged leaders in the Republican Party that I think exemplifies everything wrong with the party, is the governor of Arkansas, Asa Hutchinson.
[01:05:54]  He might be America's worst Republican governor.
[01:05:57]  He's up there with Charlie Baker and many others.
[01:06:00]  He believes that it's perfectly okay for nine-year-olds to be able to chemically castrate themselves.
[01:06:05]  In fact, he defended it.
[01:06:06]  He thinks that the idea of freedom in the conservative sense is nine-year-olds being able to castrate themselves.
[01:06:12]  He's a corporate hack, typical Walmart type guy, Sam's Club, wants open borders, cheap products.
[01:06:18]  He is a very weak person, typical Republican.
[01:06:22]  As you can tell, my patience for Republicans has been wearing thinner and thinner as the stakes get higher and higher.
[01:06:27]  They run to the hills.
[01:06:28]  So what does he do?
[01:06:29]  He says, I regret signing the law banning mask mandates.
[01:06:33]  Cut 18.
[01:06:35]  I signed it for those reasons that our cases are at a low point.
[01:06:38]  Everything has changed now.
[01:06:40]  And yes, in hindsight, I wish that had not become law.
[01:06:44]  But it is the law.
[01:06:45]  And the only chance we have is either to amend it or for the courts to say that it has an unconstitutional foundation.
[01:06:54]  Well, thank goodness you were so stupid to sign it because you didn't even, like, I regret it.
[01:06:59]  I didn't really even understand what I was signing.
[01:07:00]  Because, well, thank goodness you're dumb.
[01:07:03]  You're both corrupt and not very wise.
[01:07:06]  It's unbelievable.
[01:07:07]  Any Republican governor that institutes mask mandates, any further lockdowns, or makes children wear masks, they are complicit in the abuse of children.
[01:07:16]  It's that simple.
[01:07:19]  You know what really disappoints me, though, is that there is this massive disconnect between the voters, you, and your leaders.
[01:07:30]  You guys get this.
[01:07:32]  You guys understand that this whole mask thing is a power grab.
[01:07:37]  When I'm approached by people in airports and restaurants, the wisdom and the clarity and the ability to grasp these issues impresses me.
[01:07:46]  Yet I see this fool, the governor of Arkansas, and then I see these 18 Republicans that are doing this infrastructure thing.
[01:07:54]  I think to myself, I would pick a random name in the phone book of some guy in the hills of Arkansas over that lunatic.
[01:08:03]  Just complete betrayal of what the voters wanted and what they asked you to do, which is please defend me in my way of life.
[01:08:13]  Stop cutting crony deals and just do what you say you're going to do.
[01:08:17]  Keep the pressure on everybody.
[01:08:19]  Don't get cynical.
[01:08:22]  Stay focused on them and make them hear from you.
