=== Australia As A Canary (02:23) ===

=== Protecting Our Nation (09:00) ===

[00:02:24]  So what do we do as a nation, as a people, if one of our allies starts oppressing their citizens?
[00:02:32]  This is a question that America has been faced with before.
[00:02:37]  We don't always answer that question correctly.
[00:02:42]  What if a country in the Anglosphere begins to act like the Soviet Union?
[00:02:51]  What if a country in the Anglosphere starts to tell their citizens that if they leave their home without a mask, they will be violently arrested?
[00:03:04]  Now, you might have heard some rumblings about this, but the fact that this is not the number one news story in international news, or at least in the top couple news stories,
[00:03:15]  shows how we are being controlled like Pavlovian dogs by an activist propagandist press that wants to keep you compliant and has a total and complete blackout of what's happening in countries that are in some ways very similar to our.
[00:03:34]  our own.
[00:03:36]  The extent of the news blackout and outright propaganda of what's happening in Australia is completely and totally stunning.
[00:03:45]  We've talked about Australia here and there.
[00:03:47]  And I told our team, I said, I want to dedicate an entire hour to what's happening in Australia.
[00:03:54]  What's happening in Australia is a harbinger, a canary in the coal mine, a warning of things to come.
[00:04:01]  What other phrase can I possibly use?
[00:04:04]  The coming attraction trailer of tyranny coming to your doorstep.
[00:04:10]  Australia is a different type of country than America.
[00:04:14]  We know that.
[00:04:15]  The joke is, is that Australia is a nation of former convicts because that's where the British Empire used to send a lot of their prisoners.
[00:04:24]  Australia thinks of themselves as a staunch ally of the United States.
[00:04:30]  You know, people think of Australia as a nation where they speak English, but they say things a little bit differently.
[00:04:38]  Good old Australian accent, you know, where they think of kangaroos or they think of Aborigines.
[00:04:46]  Little did anyone ever think of Australia and say, oh, yeah, Australia, of course, raids in the middle of the night if you're not vaccinated, arresting you in the streets.
[00:04:58]  But the truth is this, is Australia does not and has never ever embraced a love of liberty like America has.
[00:05:06]  And this needs to be a fire alarm warning for every single person listening.
[00:05:11]  That liberty as we know it, that flame needs to be tended to and protected.
[00:05:17]  What we are about to go through in Australia is horrifying.
[00:05:22]  It's hard to believe that this is even being tolerated.
[00:05:25]  In fact, it is so bad.
[00:05:27]  It is so over the top.
[00:05:29]  The overreach is so tyrannical that I believe that it justifies the United States suspending trade and diplomatic relations with Australia.
[00:05:39]  We need to boycott, divest, and sanction Australia until they release the pressure on their own citizens.
[00:05:49]  So what exactly is going on in Australia?
[00:05:54]  Let's play a couple tapes here.
[00:05:56]  Let's go to Cut 82.
[00:05:58]  Former head of the Australia Department of Health recently said, now we have to do is figure out how to run our lives, that this is the new normal that requires people to change their behavior and go about their lives differently.
[00:06:10]  Play Cut 82.
[00:06:11]  What we have to do is figure out how to run our lives in a way that is that new normal, that COVID-safe.
[00:06:19]  And that does require changes in behavior and it requires people to go about their business differently.
[00:06:25]  Cut 83, an Australian government official earlier this week said if your business doesn't have employees that are vaccinated or your patrons are now vaccinated, you will not be allowed to operate.
[00:06:39]  Only the fully vaccinated will be allowed to partake in business activity.
[00:06:43]  Australia has created apartheid based on vaccination status.
[00:06:49]  We boycotted South African apartheid because it was evil based on skin color.
[00:06:56]  Now Australia is saying, if you do not take the vaccine, we as the government are going to say you're not allowed to operate.
[00:07:04]  Play Cut 83.
[00:07:05]  I want to remind people across the state, especially in the regions, that if you're not vaccinated, you will go backwards.
[00:07:12]  If your business doesn't have employees that are vaccinated, your patrons aren't vaccinated, you won't be able to operate.
[00:07:20]  And so just a warning to everybody in the regions, and that's why only the fully vaccinated will be able to participate in business activity and obviously hospitality at that time.
[00:07:31]  Then you'll be able to participate and partake in business activity.
[00:07:34]  You see, Australia does not have the Bill of Rights like we do in our country.
[00:07:40]  They do not have the greatest political document ever written in the United States Constitution, nor do they have a population that, quite honestly, desires it.
[00:07:48]  Their population really doesn't want to be free.
[00:07:52]  want to be taken care of.
[00:07:55]  You see, liberty is only for a people that desire to participate in self-government.
[00:08:02]  Self-government can be uncertain.
[00:08:06]  It requires responsibility.
[00:08:09]  The Bill of Rights sets explicit limits on government.
[00:08:14]  And Australia is going to have to answer the question at some point, and hopefully by an international intervention from the United States.
[00:08:22]  Either we are property or we are persons.
[00:08:26]  Progressives wanted to give you everything you need.
[00:08:30]  And this is what runs Australia and change you into who you are and who they think you should become.
[00:08:37]  If you value security over liberty, you will lose both.
[00:08:44]  Australia started with, let's slow the spread, but now that has morphed into a ridiculous zero COVID strategy.
[00:08:54]  And so just a handful of cases has now brought the entire country to a grinding halt.
[00:09:01]  Now, we're going to keep on going through what's happening here, and there are protests in Australia, but did you know most Australians are okay with this?
[00:09:09]  Most Australians don't want to be free.
[00:09:12]  I never want to hear again from people, Charlie, you know, most people want to be free.
[00:09:15]  No, they don't.
[00:09:16]  They want to be taken care of.
[00:09:19]  America is an exception.
[00:09:21]  America is an aberration.
[00:09:23]  The fact that we embrace this idea of self-government, of the rights of man, is so incredibly rare.
[00:09:34]  PlayCut 84, an Australian official says that for an individual to do the right thing, you could be fined up to $1,000 if you do the wrong thing, and a business can be fined up to $11,000 for not doing the wrong thing, which can be as simple as not providing a QR code.
[00:09:49]  PlayCut 84.
[00:09:51]  As was the case before Delta, there is a very obvious onus on the individual to make sure they do the right thing.
[00:09:58]  There are fines of $1,000 every time you do the wrong thing.
[00:10:01]  Businesses, there are fines from $5,000 all the way up to $11,000 and closure for a period of time if businesses flagrantly disregard the COVID safety plans.
[00:10:11]  And that might mean not even having displayed a QR code or not having done the basics.
[00:10:16]  Let there be no mistaking that we expect everybody to do the right thing.
[00:10:23]  Total and complete statist government control.
[00:10:27]  We're going to keep on playing tapes of how people are getting arrested in the streets of Australia for not wearing a mask outdoors.
[00:10:35]  We're going to play tape of how there are people within the Australian government talking about how this is just the very beginning of what they're planning to do in Australia.
[00:10:45]  In the Western world, in the Anglosphere, did you ever think in our time we would be living through the public and repeated destruction of Western values?
[00:11:03]  And before you say, oh, that will never happen here, Australia is a laboratory for tyranny.
[00:11:11]  Justice Louis Brandeis used to say that we have a laboratory of democracy.
[00:11:18]  Well, Australia is a laboratory for authoritarianism.

=== Save American Meat (02:41) ===

[00:11:25]  Hey, everybody, I want you to imagine over 100,000 Americans losing their jobs.
[00:11:28]  Well, you could stop imagining because it's reality, everybody.
[00:11:31]  Since 2015, over 100,000 independent farms and ranches in the United States have shut down.
[00:11:36]  Why?
[00:11:37]  Because foreign meat is stealing their business and robbing you of the quality and flavor you deserve.
[00:11:41]  China has destroyed the American economy through dumping products, and they've also waged war on American ranchers.
[00:11:47]  It's time to stick it to China, and that's what good ranchers do so well.
[00:11:51]  They exist to support local American farms that help you make great American meals.
[00:11:55]  Together, they want to restore the American ranch and your meals to the former glory.
[00:11:59]  Get the beef, chicken, and seafood that cannot be imported or matched at goodranchers.com.
[00:12:05]  Did you know that the product of USA TAG has been stolen by foreign countries?
[00:12:09]  They process their meat here and then label it like it came from America fraudulently because of these labeling laws that favor foreign imported meat.
[00:12:16]  Over 100,000 independent American farms and ranches have closed since 2015.
[00:12:21]  Good Ranchers is here to put America first at the dinner table and the ranchers that have worked to raise the meat we eat.
[00:12:27]  They send you a box.
[00:12:29]  Everyone listening to this needs to eat and feed their family.
[00:12:32]  And if you want to support our program, if you like the Charlie Kirk show, you can kill two birds, one stone.

[00:12:47]  I'm telling you, they send us these meats and there is a fight over who gets the perfectly marbled filet mignon or the marinated chicken.
[00:12:56]  It is a beautiful sight.
[00:12:58]  When the box of meats arrive at our office, our mouths are watering.
[00:13:03]  The children begin singing.
[00:13:06]  Everything just seems a little bit lighter and brighter.
[00:13:10]  In fact, the day gets better when the Good Ranchers box arrives because you know, with the beautiful Phoenix weather, you can watch some college football, throw a couple steaks on the grill, turn up the volume, and enjoy being an American because you're eating American meat, not Chinese meat, not Argentinian meat, not Vietnam meat, Vietnamese meat, not Iranian meat, not Egyptian meat, but instead American meat.

=== The Cost Of Freedom (15:24) ===

[00:14:06]  Maskless Australian man surrounded by police and told he cannot stand around in public.
[00:14:12]  He is then arrested.
[00:14:13]  This is coming here to America very soon.
[00:14:15]  Cut 91.
[00:14:20]  I just want to know.
[00:14:27]  I'm not committing it.
[00:14:33]  You should probably tell me why before you have me.
[00:14:36]  When you do not have a citizenry or a country that is built on natural rights, this starts to happen.
[00:14:44]  And of course, the propagandist media and the New York Times and CNN, they're okay with this because deep down, they want this to happen here.
[00:14:53]  No coverage, no investigative journalism, no abuse of human rights.
[00:14:57]  Of course not.
[00:14:58]  Why would there be?
[00:14:59]  Because what disguises itself as liberalism is truly authoritarianism screaming to get out.
[00:15:06]  What starts as a complaint to give me rights?
[00:15:09]  Oh, we're going to liberalize society.
[00:15:11]  We're going to get people free.
[00:15:12]  No, it's not.
[00:15:12]  It's a means to the end to pick up the gun on the table and say, I'm in charge.
[00:15:18]  Australian man walking on the street, detained and threatened with arrest if he doesn't give his name and address and is searched under the Evidence Act, Cut 90.
[00:15:26]  Am I under arrest?
[00:15:33]  I'm not receiving.
[00:15:34]  I'm not going to search you under the Evidence Act.
[00:15:36]  Evidence Act?
[00:15:37]  What search is that?
[00:15:39]  Am I under arrest?
[00:15:40]  Yes or no?
[00:15:42]  You have my license.
[00:15:44]  Just turn around.
[00:15:44]  You have my turn around.
[00:15:46]  Cut 87, a new South Wales police officer, is now speaking out about a letter he wrote to the government about how people are more afraid of getting a fine than the virus, that the virus is not what they're being told it is, and health is about connecting and being outside, not isolation.
[00:16:03]  PlayCut 87.
[00:16:04]  People are more scared of getting a fine than they are of an alleged virus.
[00:16:10]  That was an evidence-based letter I wrote.
[00:16:15]  It shows that what we're enforcing was not justified.
[00:16:20]  COVID is not what we're being told it is.
[00:16:23]  On top of that, we were breaching laws.
[00:16:26]  COVID's not about health, it's about control.
[00:16:28]  It's everything other than health, you know.
[00:16:31]  Health's about you connecting.
[00:16:34]  It's about being outside.
[00:16:35]  It's about your interactions.
[00:16:38]  It's not about isolation.
[00:16:41]  Remember when we said that emergency powers will be not for the emergency, but it's an emergency to grant those powers and they will be there in perpetuity.
[00:16:57]  Nothing is as permanent as a temporary government program.
[00:17:03]  Thomas Jefferson famously said, I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.
[00:17:08]  I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude.
[00:17:13]  Most people don't.
[00:17:16]  This is a hard thing to say out loud.
[00:17:18]  We like to have this idea that human beings want to be free.
[00:17:22]  No, they don't.
[00:17:24]  If you do not have the proper education, the proper spiritual development, if you do not have people of strong character that are good soul, why would you want to be free?
[00:17:35]  We're going to keep on diving deep into Australia, but I'm going to tell you, this is popular in Australia.
[00:17:43]  According to recent polling, 80% of Australians support this.
[00:17:49]  They support the fact you can't leave your home, arresting people on the side of streets.
[00:17:54]  They support the mass vaccination campaign.
[00:17:56]  There are protests bubbling up.
[00:17:59]  But if we do not educate people and empower them as what it means to be a free, to live a free life in a free society, they're going to invite the Praetorian Guard to come take care of them.
[00:18:12]  Liberty is hard, everybody.
[00:18:15]  It requires responsibility.
[00:18:17]  It requires accountability first and foremost of yourself.
[00:18:21]  That is why if you do not embrace the true version of self-government oneself, you get what's happening in Australia.
[00:18:31]  When did we decide to stop upholding free speech as a basic right?
[00:18:35]  What's playing out right now at so many big tech companies and social media sites set a very dangerous precedent.
[00:18:42]  Look, it doesn't matter what your politics are or who you voted for.
[00:18:46]  Everyone should have the right to express themselves freely.
[00:18:49]  Sadly, the big tech oligarchs and their monopoly has instead opted for silencing people and censorship.
[00:18:57]  To fight back against big tech's control of the internet, I use ExpressVPN.
[00:19:02]  Ever wondered how free-to-access tech giants make all their money?
[00:19:05]  Well, by tracking your searches, they sell you.
[00:19:08]  They build a profile on you and they sell your sensitive data.
[00:19:12]  When you use ExpressVPN and their wonderful app on your computer or phone, you anonymize much of your online presence by hiding your IP address.
[00:19:22]  That makes your activity more difficult to trace and to sell to advertisers.
[00:19:27]  What's more is ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your network data to protect you from eavesdroppers and cyber criminals.
[00:19:34]  What I like most is how easy it is to use.
[00:19:37]  It takes just one click to protect all your devices.
[00:19:40]  That's why ExpressVPN is rated number one by CNET.
[00:19:44]  So let's stop allowing big tech to revoke our rights to free speech.
[00:19:48]  Why not revoke their right to your data instead?
[00:19:51]  Secure your internet with the VPN that I trust, the only VPN that I use.

[00:20:14]  Just so you know, Sydney has been in lockdown in Australia since June 26th and Melbourne since August 5th.
[00:20:22]  The capital territory of Conbera locked down on August 12th after one positive test stemming from Sydney emerged.
[00:20:32]  Here's just some fast facts on the whole thing.
[00:20:34]  We now have riot police firing rubber bullets into lockdown protesters.
[00:20:39]  Rescue dogs are being shot to prevent volunteers traveling to collect them.
[00:20:44]  Nighttime curfews have been implemented and one hour of exercise per day is allowed per citizen, one hour of exercise per day.
[00:20:51]  You're only allowed to travel five kilometers throughout Australia.
[00:20:55]  And the Australian Army patrolling suburbs to enforce lockdowns, including in Australia and in Sydney.
[00:21:01]  They literally have members of the army patrolling house by house to make sure lockdowns are being enforced.
[00:21:08]  Health bureaucrats advising the citizenry not to stop and talk to their neighbors while walking their dog.
[00:21:15]  Now, the death rate on the island of Australia stands at over, and again, this is important.
[00:21:22]  It's a continent, so it's not isolated, but it's completely isolated.
[00:21:26]  At just over 36 people per million in the United States versus 1,853 for the United States.
[00:21:32]  The borders are closed both to enter or to leave.
[00:21:36]  And those limited few who are permitted to come to Australia are forced to quarantine for 14 days.
[00:21:43]  But I just want to re-emphasize this.
[00:21:44]  A large majority of Australians seem to support this tough on COVID approach.
[00:21:49]  They think there's nothing wrong with military members walking through the neighborhoods enforcing lockdowns.
[00:21:55]  80% of Australians are vaccinated.
[00:21:59]  And several state elections over the time have seen incumbents comfortably re-elected on platforms of acting tough against COVID.
[00:22:09]  Make no mistake, the people that run our country would have loved to do the Australian model.
[00:22:14]  The reason they couldn't is because we still have some semblance of a freedom-loving people here and a constitution that would get in their way.
[00:22:23]  They would have loved to deploy the National Guard to make sure you didn't leave your home.
[00:22:27]  They would have loved to be able to fire rubber bullets in people during all this, all of the protests and backlash to this.
[00:22:36]  And the Health Praetorian Guard, which is Australia's version of Fauci, they are now saying that more lockdowns might be necessary.
[00:22:51]  Now, the laptop class is supportive of these lockdowns, obviously because they get to work from home.
[00:22:57]  But it's the muscular class that gets harmed the most in the midst of what's happening in Australia and across the country.
[00:23:08]  Clive Palmer, who's an Australian mining magnate and billionaire, claims that the Premier of Australia is lying to the people because she is under an inquiry and has a lobbyist from AstraZeneca and Pfizer pressuring her to push the vaccine so they can have everyone double jabbed.
[00:23:29]  PlayCut 86.
[00:23:31]  I'd say that Premier's lying to them.
[00:23:33]  I'd say that she's under an IPACPAC inquiry.
[00:23:36]  But a particular lobbyist in Sydney controls the Liberal Party in Sydney has told her that the only way she gets out of that inquiry is if she pushes the double jab, and his clients are Aska Zeneker, and his clients are Pfizer.
[00:23:47]  That's what I would say.
[00:23:48]  That she's being directed by a lobbyist in Sydney who's being paid by AskaZeneka and by Pfizer tens of millions of dollars to get these policies through to make sure the vaccine is pushed.
[00:23:59]  That's why.
[00:24:00]  And here's Cut 92 of a reporter who says Australia is about to be the first country to actively penalize people not to get the vaccine.
[00:24:10]  I want you to think about this.
[00:24:12]  Not to reward people, not to have lotteries, which we are always kind of very skeptical of, but to say we are going to make your life miserable if you do not take medicine that we tell you to take, that we are going to penalize you.
[00:24:27]  They are removing God-granted freedom.
[00:24:30]  You see, this really comes down to the question of natural rights.
[00:24:33]  Where do your rights come from?
[00:24:36]  If you believe your rights stem from the state, which leftists and Australians in government do, then of course they could just take whatever freedom you think you have because it was never given to you in the first place.
[00:24:50]  This idea of who is the sovereign is so critically important.
[00:24:54]  Australia has decided and they built a government around the idea that the people are not sovereign, that rights are not granted by God.
[00:25:02]  Instead, rights are granted by the state, by government, and you're lucky that they haven't taken away more freedom that they actually administered to you in the first place.
[00:25:13]  Play cut 92.
[00:25:15]  But now the Australian government have gone too far, and the world must not remain silent on it.
[00:25:21]  Australia looks set to become the first country in the world to actively penalize those who do not get a COVID vaccine.
[00:25:28]  The government knows it cannot force mandatory vaccination through in-law.
[00:25:32]  So their solution, create a two-tier society and use other laws and means to punish those who do not comply willingly.
[00:25:40]  As the great Kerry Parker, once Australia's richest person said to the House Select Committee, every time you pass a law, you take away someone's privileges.
[00:25:48]  The problem is they're no longer removing privileges, they're removing people's freedoms until they remove the average Australian's way of life completely.
[00:25:58]  It's amazing how illiterate so many Australians are about the erosion of freedom, of natural rights.
[00:26:08]  In America, especially in conservative circles, you just start talking about vaccine passports or show me your papers or COVID camps.
[00:26:16]  People get into action really quick because at least in conservative circles, we know our history.
[00:26:21]  We've studied it.
[00:26:24]  We talk about it.
[00:26:25]  Now, I've been extremely disappointed with how America has handled the virus lockdowns.
[00:26:29]  We never should have locked down.
[00:26:31]  Locking down was one of the worst mistakes ever done in American history, and it remains as such.
[00:26:36]  But thankfully, we got nowhere near Australia was.
[00:26:41]  And one of the reasons why these protests in Australia really have no teeth is because of this.
[00:26:47]  In 1996, after 35 people were killed in the Port Arthur massacre, the Australian government intervened and swiftly banned all pump action shotguns and semi-automatic rifles.
[00:27:00]  The University of Sydney said, quote, the proportion of Australians who hold a gun license has fallen by 48% since 1977.
[00:27:08]  And the proportion of Australian households with a firearm has fallen by 75% in recent decades.
[00:27:15]  Australian's own ambassador to America has admitted gun confiscation has no place in the United States.
[00:27:23]  And, quote, Australia and the United States are completely different situations.
[00:27:28]  And it goes back to each of our foundings.
[00:27:31]  America was born from a culture of self-defense.
[00:27:35]  Australia was born from a culture of the government will protect me.
[00:27:38]  Australia wasn't born as a result of a brutal war.
[00:27:42]  They were never invaded.
[00:27:43]  They were never attacked.
[00:27:44]  They were never occupied.
[00:27:48]  This makes an incredible difference even today.
[00:27:50]  That is Australian Ambassador to the United States, Joe Hockey.
[00:27:56]  And look, gun control worked.
[00:27:58]  It didn't work to lower crime, but it worked to give government the power that it needed and wanted, which is to create a subservient population.
[00:28:09]  And now Australians who dare to go outside or challenge the lockdowns are getting shot by non-lethal bullets because the guns are only on one side.
[00:28:23]  The government of Australia is also pursuing laws to check anyone's social media.
[00:28:29]  Now, Governor Ron DeSantis is beginning to speak out against this.
[00:28:33]  Governor Ron DeSantis is saying, wait a second, you have less freedom if you are living in Australia than in China.
[00:28:42]  Dennis Prager, who actually lived in the Soviet Union for some time, says there was more freedom in the Soviet Union than you can currently enjoy in Australia.
[00:28:52]  Play Cut 89.
[00:28:54]  You guys look what's going on in Australia right now.
[00:28:57]  You know, they're enforcing, after a year and a half, they're still enforcing lockdowns by the military.
[00:29:06]  And that's not a free country.
[00:29:08]  It's not a free country at all.
[00:29:09]  In fact, I mean, I wonder why we would still have the same diplomatic relations when they're doing that.
[00:29:17]  I mean, is Australia freer than China, communist China, right now?
[00:29:21]  I don't know.
[00:29:22]  The fact that that's even a question tells you something has gone dramatically off the rails.
[00:29:29]  They are not a free society.
[00:29:30]  They're not a free country.

=== Not A Free Country (02:12) ===

[00:29:31]  But America's ruling class and the propagandists that run our media, they seem perfectly fine with it.
[00:29:37]  They seem perfectly fine with the limiting of freedom so dramatically that, and I'm going to reiterate this, nighttime curfews and one-hour exercise per day.
[00:29:48]  You're not allowed to travel more than five kilometers outside of your house.
[00:29:51]  The Australian Army is patrolling suburbs to enforce lockdowns, including in Australia, including Sydney.
[00:29:57]  And health bureaucrats are advising the citizenry to stop talking to your neighbors while walking their dog.
[00:30:04]  And just as a reminder, Biden actually has now increased our diplomatic relations with Australia.
[00:30:10]  You know what's so funny is that so many people that vote for Democrats and liberals think that they're voting for freedom.
[00:30:17]  They think that they're voting for the lack of government interference.
[00:30:20]  Little do they know, they're voting for the people that walk the streets with rubber bullets and tear gas and are willing to imprison you in your own home.
[00:30:32]  And it's been a very interesting learning lesson to see how the American press, they have no interest to actually liberate groups.
[00:30:40]  They instead want to create their own sentry guard, their own standing army that can enforce the needs, wants, and desires of their vision for America's ruling class.
[00:30:58]  Cut 101, Australians are being shot in the back as they're being running away from police.
[00:31:02]  Cut 101.
[00:31:19]  All because of a virus that has a 99.5% survival rate, as we now have increased treatments for that.
[00:31:30]  Despite that, we need to lock down the country, shoot people in the back, keep them in home, make sure they don't talk to people at their home at Walking Their Dogs because it's for their health.

=== Secure Your Payments (02:07) ===

[00:31:43]  The single-minded obsession that no one gets sick and die from the Chinese coronavirus is being paid for by not just a slowly unfolding mental health crisis, but social isolation and dislocation are taking their toll in terms of suicide, depression, substance abuse, and domestic violence.
[00:32:03]  I think some Australians are starting to wake up and massive protests are starting.
[00:32:07]  I sure hope so, because the polling that has been out there shows that 80% of Australians support this.
[00:32:14]  I really hope that's not the case.
[00:32:17]  Do you run a small business?
[00:32:19]  Are you on an elder board of a church?
[00:32:21]  Are you overseeing an organization that does a lot of credit card processing?
[00:32:25]  Well, if you run a conservative or faith-based nonprofit or business, listen very carefully to this.
[00:32:31]  Do not expose yourself to being shut off because of cancel culture.
[00:32:35]  JPMorgan Chase just canceled Lieutenant General Michael Flynn's credit cards because they didn't like his politics.
[00:32:42]  So on the Charlie Kirk show here, we use Cornerstone Payment Systems to provide uninterrupt credit card processing for the work we do here at the Charlie Kirk Show.

[00:33:45]  Cornerstone.cc slash Kirk.

=== Losing Regional Freedoms (04:49) ===

[00:33:50]  John Barrelard, the New South Wales Deputy Premier of Australia, says that people who don't get vaccinated by October 11th, you won't be able to leave your home.
[00:34:02]  You're going to lose your freedoms.
[00:34:03]  We're going to tell you when you can leave your home.
[00:34:06]  Play cut 81.
[00:34:08]  The message to the unvaccinated is that you will not achieve any further freedom unless you get vaccinated.
[00:34:13]  So there will be individuals in regional and rural New South Wales who choose not to be vaccinated who will lose their freedoms on the 11th of October.
[00:34:20]  So my message to everybody in regional and rural New South Wales is to continue to get vaccinated.
[00:34:26]  But despite this, he announced on Tuesday that in Victoria, 78% of all the hospitalizations are vaccinated people and only 17% are partially vaccinated.
[00:34:39]  Well, as we played earlier, is the Australian government being paid off by the pharmaceutical companies?
[00:34:44]  Is AstraZeneca and Pfizer and Moderna bribing the leaders of the free world and the Anglosphere to try to push forward a vaccine that has questionable outputs, at least in Australia?
[00:34:55]  PlayCut 80.
[00:34:57]  Of the people who were in hospital yesterday, 78% were vaccinated and 17 were partially vaccinated.
[00:35:08]  Wait, so how's the mass vaccination campaign working out for them?
[00:35:12]  What does success look like in Australia?
[00:35:14]  Meanwhile, a third world province of a third world country, Uttar Pradesh, they have gotten closer to COVID zero than any other example that I've been able to find by healthy doses of administering ivermectin, azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine, and anti-malarial treatment.
[00:35:34]  Cut 79 Australian official on Wednesday announces the deaths of seven people in Australia.
[00:35:39]  All had underlying health conditions, but guess what?
[00:35:41]  Six of seven of them had one shot of the vaccine.
[00:35:44]  Cut 79.
[00:35:45]  Today we announced the deaths of seven people who have lost their lives to COVID-19.
[00:35:51]  All of those individuals had underlying health conditions.
[00:35:57]  One person was not vaccinated.
[00:35:59]  Three people had received one dose of a COVID vaccine.
[00:36:03]  And three people had received two doses of a COVID vaccine.
[00:36:08]  So they've received the vaccine, and six out of seven of them died.
[00:36:14]  Australia is a test case.
[00:36:18]  And the fact that even some conservative media is ignoring what's happening in Australia is very telling.
[00:36:26]  People cannot leave their homes.
[00:36:27]  They can't walk their dogs.
[00:36:28]  They cannot, let alone travel five kilometers outside of their home.
[00:36:35]  What is a free society?
[00:36:37]  A free society requires you to be alert, to be aware, to be active.
[00:36:42]  Australia is a path.
[00:36:44]  They are a passive people.
[00:36:46]  They do not understand the history of what liberty is, that liberty is not man's idea, it's God's idea.
[00:36:53]  They don't understand that it takes people to be in a position to hold leaders accountable, to question, to pursue truth, to engage in dialogue, to be skeptical of things that tyrants tell you.
[00:37:06]  We as Americans must be the leaders in this regard.
[00:37:09]  Now, we've handled the virus horribly as a country in the last year and a half.
[00:37:15]  Never should have locked down the country, should have been focused on treatments, natural immunity, and all that.
[00:37:20]  But I'm proud to say we've handled it better than Australia.
[00:37:24]  54% of Australians no longer support complete suppression of the virus, finally believing it's not possible.
[00:37:30]  While 62% of Australians say the whole opening plan is basically to be like Israel, and Israel is a disaster after their fourth booster shot.
[00:37:42]  You want to remain free or whatever limited freedoms we have left?
[00:37:46]  Learn from Australia.
[00:37:48]  First of all, they disarm the citizenry, which makes the protest completely null and void.
[00:37:53]  Only one side has the guns.
[00:37:55]  Things get too heated.
[00:37:56]  We know who's going to win.
[00:37:58]  But freedom only continues when the people demand it.
[00:38:03]  As Russell Kirk said, politicians are reading off the script provided to them by the people, by the citizens, by the co-rulers, by the sovereign.
[00:38:14]  Australia has turned in to a medical apartheid COVID caste system bio-terror state.
[00:38:22]  They should be boycotted, divested, and sanctioned for doing such actions.
[00:38:27]  But I'm afraid that just how the Chinese coronavirus traveled from Wuhan to America, the tyranny variant, which has been born out of Australia, is going to be hitting our shores very soon.
