| Now that the CDC has finally updated its guidelines, shouldn't everyone who lost their jobs get them back with back pay? | |
| Yes. | |
| So the CDC has now put out new guidelines. | |
| They're saying those exposed to the virus are no longer required to quarantine. | |
| Unvaccinated people now have the same guidance as vaccinated people. | |
| Students can stay in class after being exposed to the virus, and it's no longer recommended to screen those without symptoms. | |
| Basically, they're saying, oops, my bad. | |
| Sorry for destroying your civilization. | |
| Sorry for the suicides and the... | |
| Actually, you know what? | |
| Let me rephrase that. | |
|
Science Shifts to Intervention
00:07:14
|
|
| They're not saying sorry. | |
| There's no apology. | |
| They just issue it. | |
| Like, oh, by the way, here we go. | |
| There's no repentance. | |
| There's no acknowledgement of error. | |
| The science is the same. | |
| Now, here's one of the problems with science in the modern world, not a problem with science in general. | |
| Two things. | |
| They always say follow the science. | |
| The problem with following the science is far too often the science follows the money that the scientific bureaucratic elite have been purchased by AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Johnson, and Johnson, and they ignore the fundamental base of what science is supposed to be. | |
| Science used to be about discovering things, an inquiry into the natural world. | |
| Sir Francis Bacon, when he wrote the book that changed all books, it was a very interesting title, The Great Instaration, a very interesting cover of the book. | |
| Back when Sir Francis Bacon, who developed the scientific method, I think in the 1620s, boy, I'm really stretching my brain with this. | |
| It was interesting because the cover of the book was two Roman columns in the middle of an ocean and a boat going through the Roman columns, if you will, into the distance, into the horizon, basically signifying that because of now the exploration of the natural world, the scientific method, which of course is hypothesize, inquire, test, and then measure, right? | |
| Very simple. | |
| We all learn the scientific method, is that we will now be able to go past the classical constraints of the ancient world. | |
| Now, there is some delight in that. | |
| We shouldn't say that modernity has been a total failure. | |
| I like air conditioning. | |
| I'm a pretty big fan of being able to have a Tylenol when I need one. | |
| I think grocery stores are generally really good. | |
| I think being able to have heat in our homes. | |
| But the cult of scientism, if you will, is this idea that we can perfect man. | |
| It's the great instoration. | |
| So it's important. | |
| So Sir Francis Bacon was the beginning of the scientific method, kind of modern science. | |
| And so there you have that idea of the two Roman columns and kind of modernity going into the distance. | |
| Now, science used to be about discovering things. | |
| Now it's about making things and changing things. | |
| Big difference. | |
| Science at its best is about discovery. | |
| Now it's about making and transforming. | |
| Let me repeat that. | |
| Science used to be about discovery and analysis. | |
| Now it's about intervention and transformation. | |
| That is a massive difference. | |
| Where did that come from? | |
| Well, it came from the progressives. | |
| In the 1700s and 1800s, there was this belief that started to pop up where this idea of absolute authority began to be transferred from kings to administrative bureaucratic power. | |
| This all ties together the FBI raid of Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Fauci's, let's just say, corrupt nature and the inability to check and balance him. | |
| The Prussians, which ended up becoming modern-day Germany, were the leaders of the development in the 17th and 18th century philosophy. | |
| In the 19th century, they became the primary theorists of administrative power. | |
| And many of them celebrated it as an evasion of the restraints, the shackles of constitutional law and constitutional rights. | |
| You see, this focus on the German theory, it metastasized and spread all over the Western world. | |
| It became the intellectual source of all bureaucratic and Western administrative law. | |
| Thousands upon thousands of Americans studied administrative power in Germany. | |
| And what they learned is that administrative power then became standard fair in all American universities. | |
| I talk about in my book, College Scam, where the administrative state, the shadow government, the deep state, was created thanks to the German administrative historicist model. | |
| Now, at the very same time, American progressives became increasingly discontent with elected legislatures and the power of the people. | |
| So they said, these people are annoying. | |
| We now need to increasingly embrace, increasingly embrace German theories of administration. | |
| Let me put this plainly for you. | |
| The more that we embrace German theories of administration, the less voice you have. | |
| And therefore, they defend the imposition of administrative law in America is in terms of pragmatic and necessity. | |
| What is this in real terms? | |
| 87,000 new IRS agents. | |
| That is the growth of the Leviathan. | |
| That is the growth of the administrative state. | |
| And so now the CDC comes out and they say, well, those exposed to the virus are no longer required to quarantine. | |
| Unvaccinated people now have the same guidance as vaccinated people and students can stay in class after being exposed to the virus. | |
| Where is the apology, Anthony Fauci? | |
| Where is the acknowledgement of error? | |
| You see, the administrative state never has to do that. | |
| Anthony Fauci, a deceitful, arrogant, treacherous liar, lacking in the one thing that statesmen have, humility. | |
| Anthony Fauci is an arrogant bureaucrat, which literally means desk worker. | |
| And one of the greatest examples of the administrative state. | |
| I'll prove it to you. | |
| Play cut 89. | |
| It's called the Fauci effect, which is sort of like, you know, trust me, I don't get excited about that. | |
| I mean, it's nice, but I mean, it's, it's, people go to medical school now. | |
| People are interested in science, not because of me, because people, most people don't know me who I am. | |
| My friends know me, my wife knows me, but people don't know me. | |
| It's what I symbolize. | |
| And what I symbolize in an era of the normalization of untruths and lies and all the things you're seeing going on in society from January 6th to everything else that goes on. | |

North Dakota School Board Priorities

|
| People, the craving for consistency, for integrity, for truth, and for people caring about people. | |
| His idea and definition of science is not the discovery and analysis of the natural world. | |
| It's how can I create and change. | |
| That is a massive deviation to the scientific method. | |
| Why? | |
| Because he looks himself as a god and you are his subject. | |
| Look, I love Good Ranchers, and I know a lot of you love them too. | |
| And do some good this August as everyone goes back to school and do some good by helping feed kids who are facing hunger and food insecurity. | |
| Good Ranchers is on a mission to donate 100,000 high-quality meals to young kids who often go unfed or end up malnourished from poor access to nutritious food. | |
| You can join this campaign by ordering a box of 100% American meat. | |
| Every order contributes meals to the cause and makes a massive difference in the lives and minds of these young kids. | |

| Laura asked, Charlie, I read that in Fargo, North Dakota, they are no longer doing the Pledge of Allegiance. | |
| I then sent that to my friend, and he said that is fake news. | |
| There's no way that's happening in America and told me to stop sending things that are not true. | |
| Please help me, Charlie, make sense of this. | |
| Is it really true? | |
| They're no longer doing it. | |
| Yes, it is. | |
| So in Fargo, North Dakota, almost hard to grasp and believe, at a board of educators meeting, the Board of Education voted to remove the Pledge of Allegiance because of the under God phrase. | |
| In fact, they said that it no longer reflects their values. | |
| Fargo Public Schools voted seven to two to no longer recite the Pledge of Allegiance. | |
| Pledge of Allegiance at the Fargo School Board will no longer be said. | |
| The debate goes back to February when a motion to have the pledge recited at meetings brought forward by board member David Paulson passed seven to two. | |
| Now, I'll be very honest. | |
| The turnout for school board elections in Fargo this last cycle in June was miserably low. | |
| Unfortunately, in North Dakota, I know a lot of you listening in North Dakota will be the exception to this, but I'll just be honest, it is not a priority to the vast majority of citizens in North Dakota. | |
| I'm looking right now at a picture of the school board meeting where they decided to remove the Pledge of Allegiance. | |
| Looks like there's 15 patriots there, and that's about it. | |
| There should have been a thousand people there demanding that the Pledge of Allegiance remains. | |
| Now, mind you, they do this intentionally. | |
| The left does. | |
| They're trained to do this. | |
| They're trained by Alinskyite tactics, which is to pick a fight that they know we will get angry about, to distract us, use smokescreen, while we fight and that level, they're able to implement bad curriculum and CRT and diversity, equity, inclusion. | |
| But that still means we have to fight. | |
| Now, I want to play the piece of tape here. | |
| This is from the school board. | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| This is a school board member, not in Manhattan, not in Nantucket, not in Sao Saledo, not in Ventura County. | |
| This is not in Denver, Colorado. | |
| No, no, no, no. | |
| This is in Fargo, North Dakota. | |
| In Fargo, North Dakota, it has now been voted on 7 to 2 to remove the Pledge of Allegiance. | |
| Listen to their rationale. | |
| Play cut 105. | |
| The board reciting the pledge runs counter to our district's philosophy. | |
| Given that the word God in the text of the Pledge of Allegiance is capitalized, and Jim had brought this up in our previous discussion of this, the text is clearly referring to the Judeo-Christian God. | |
| And therefore, it does not include any other faiths. | |
| It is also an indisputable fact, and it's a fact that I hope we all can agree on, that not all U.S. citizens have liberty and justice, which is stated in the pledge, therefore making the line one nation with liberty and justice for all, an untrue statement. | |
| Now, this guy's not a very smart person, obviously. | |
| Liberty and justice for all. | |
| Of course, every American has liberty and justice. | |
| These are ideals. | |
| It's your decisions that determine whether or not you remain in the state of liberty or you get to be administered justice. | |
| You see, human equality, as the founding fathers wrote it, very important, is not that every human being will get the same sort of stuff or that every human being has the same outcome, but they'll be treated fairly in front of the law. | |
| Now, if this school board member is meaning that, I don't know, Donald Trump gets raided and Democrats don't, then we might have a conversation. | |
| But what are they really trying to do here? | |
| It is a Marxist revolutionary tactic to destroy the symbolism, to destroy the phrasing, to destroy the traditions of a nation so that they may make new ones in their stead. | |
| And to this idea that you can't have God mentioned there, well, then the Fargo School District should get rid of the Declaration of Independence, where it says laws of nature and nature's God. | |
| Or how about the U.S. Constitution where it says we do ordain a religious term? | |
| Get rid of that too. | |
| Well, allegedly, supposedly, I should say, evidently is a better word, at the Fargo School District in one of the reddest states in the country, it is popular to remove the Pledge of Allegiance to 7 to 2 vote. | |
| And I look at a picture of the school board meeting. | |
| I think 12 people showed up to object. | |
| Where's the grassroots energy, everybody? | |
| I love North Dakota. | |
| I love you guys. | |
| Why are you allowing your governor to allow the Chinese to buy up farmland? | |
| Why are you allowing Fargo to do the 7-2 thing? | |
| I know a lot of you are fighting hard, but there's so much more you could do out in North Dakota. | |
| Don't let these maniacs do this. | |
| Charlie Kirk here. | |

| This one is from Joe in Massachusetts. | |
| Charlie, it's hard to believe the country I'm living in. | |
| Can you help me better understand how young people are being targeted by health agencies and psychiatrists for chemical castration drugs? | |
| I'm told it's happening in Massachusetts. | |
| I'm not sure what to believe. | |
| Thanks so much. | |
| Love the show. | |
| Okay, so I want to play this piece of tape here. | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| This is, I want to get the exact term right. | |
| I think it's the Boston, it's either Boston or Massachusetts General. | |
| Yeah, no, that's not it. | |
| It's some major hospital chain in Massachusetts that is running advertisements for children to be able to get gender-affirming sexual transition procedures done. | |
| Boston's Children's Hospital. | |
| Thank you. | |
| It's the Boston Children's Hospital that are running these PSAs, these public service announcements about how wonderful gender-affirming care can be. | |
| I mean, these people should be arrested for child abuse, let alone running advertisements. | |
| So, this is the Boston Children's Hospital is now proclaiming and bragging that they have become the nation's first pediatric trans surgery center. | |
| This is irreversible damage that is being done to a generation of young people that will never be able to undo this. | |
| Now, remember what we said about science. | |
| This is why it's all tied together. | |
| Science is not about discovering or knowing, it's about making and transforming. | |
| If science is about making and transforming, doesn't that then all of a sudden make the gene-altering mRNA vaccine make a lot more sense? | |
| Doesn't that now make the focus on child chemical castration make a lot of sense? | |
| They're not focused on understanding humanity, the beauty, the goodness, or the truth of our existence, our intersection with the natural world, of which that is the proper and moral approach to science. | |
| No, instead, they're asking, how can we change what already is? | |
| The Western view of science is, how do I better understand what already is? | |
| That is such a profound difference between the two that is not articulated by most people in politics. | |
| They don't understand it. | |
| So, if you're focused on transformation, not knowing, then of course it makes sense to go chop off a bunch of kids' genitals. | |
| This is what the Boston's Children's Hospital is celebrating. | |
| They are gleefully encouraging surgical and pharmaceutical gender transition for teenagers. | |
| Play cut 103. | |
| Gender-affirming hysterectomy is very similar to most hysterectomies that occur. | |
| Hysterectomy itself is the removal of the uterus, the cervix, which is the opening of the uterus, and the fallopian tubes, which are attached to the sides of the uterus. | |
| Some gender-affirming hysterectomies will also include the removal of the ovaries, but that's technically a separate procedure called a bilateral ooprectomy. | |
| And not every gender-affirming hysterectomy includes that. | |
| And people who are getting gender-affirming hystrectomies do not have to have their ovaries removed. | |
| That is an advertisement running by the Boston Children's Hospital. | |
| Children. | |
| But again, it's all around a regime and a focus on transforming humanity itself. | |
| Transhumanism, plugging people into machines, the advent of singularity, and well, not the advent, but the eventual advent of singularity and artificial intelligence. | |
| It is not about knowing the human being. | |
| It's waging an all-out war on the human being. | |
| It's a massive difference. | |
| The postmillennial.com writes all about this, but it's not just the Boston Children's Hospital. | |
| This is happening all across the country. | |
| But this is the first major center. | |
| And they say they rely on the World Professional Association for Transgender Health of standards of care model. | |
| Genital surgeries require several letters of support from patients' health care providers and must have lived as their identified gender for only 12 months. | |
| For a phalloplasty, a creation of a pseudo-penis from skin taken elsewhere in the body, by the way, you might not like this. | |
|
Biden Era Inflation Scandal
00:11:35
|
|
| I'm going to be honest. | |
| I'm just going to be very blunt. | |
| You have to hear this, okay? | |
| If you don't like it, then whatever. | |
| Or a mediodoplasty, a creation of a pseudopenis from the existing genital tissues, they ask you to be at least 18 years old. | |
| Patients only 17 years old can obtain a vagioplasty, co-director of Boston's Children's Center for Gender Surgery. | |
| Imagine how sick you must be to intubate a 17-year-old and then go to work on them with this. | |
| The damage they're doing. | |
| This is war crime territory. | |
| It is really sick what these people are about to get away with. | |
| Okay, let's get to a question here. | |
| Charlie, I heard Joe Biden say there is no zero inflation, zero new inflation in July. | |
| Now I'm no economist, but wasn't inflation still at 8.5%. | |
| So doesn't that mean there is still a heck of a lot of inflation? | |
| Can you set this Yahoo in the White House straight? | |
| By the way, I'm looking forward to coming to the JD Vance event on August 19th. | |
| Eric from Youngstown, you guys can go to tpaction.com. | |
| That is tpaction.com. | |
| Yes. | |
| So what he's trying to say is there was no growth in inflation. | |
| There's still 8.5% inflation. | |
| And it's even more than that in Arizona. | |
| Joe Biden lying professionally, play cut 110. | |
| Before I begin today, I want to say a word about the news that came out today relative to the economy. | |
| Actually, I just want to say a number. | |
| Zero. | |
| Today, we received news that our economy had 0% inflation in the month of July. | |
| It's such a lie. | |
| I mean, this guy's such a disgrace to the country. | |
| You deserve so much on this. | |
| 0% inflation. | |
| No, what he's saying is that, and again, it depends on how you tabulate it. | |
| I don't believe any of their numbers, that inflation hasn't grown. | |
| The annual inflation rate is anywhere between 8.5% to 15%, depending on how you tabulate it. | |
| Ted Cruz in Cut 11 says the Inflation Reduction Act will come after normal everyday working people. | |
| Play Cut 11. | |
| What about that promise that taxes would not be impacted for anybody making $400,000 or less? | |
| Well, it's a flat-out lie. | |
| The Congressional Budget Office analyzed this bill and it concluded a very large portion of it would be borne by people making under $400,000 a year. | |
| They are lying and you know what they're counting on? | |
| They're counting on the corporate media just carrying their water for them and saying, oh, your taxes are not going up. | |
| It's not the truth. | |
| They know it's not the truth, but they expect the corporate media not to tell people. | |
| So unless they're watching your show or a handful of others, they're not hearing what's actually in this terrible bill. | |
| Now, Pramila Jayapal said something very interesting. | |
| She came out and she said, inflation is just a theoretical word that economists use. | |
| Now, this is easy to laugh off and scoff off, but let's really understand what's going on here. | |
| And I made this argument, and boy, the media went nuts when I said this a couple, I think, a couple months ago. | |
| And I'm going to say it again. | |
| If you believe that children can change their gender, then why wouldn't you also believe that you could create money out of thin air? | |
| If you are not tied to the construct or the reality of natural law, then you're going to make other things up as well. | |
| So if you believe that humanity can change, why wouldn't you believe that the laws of economics can also change? | |
| The pesky sheckles of reality is what we wish to shed ourselves of. | |
| Now, you listen to this by Pramila Jayapal. | |
| You must understand this is an idea pathogen, as Gad Saad would say, a woke mind virus that has infected the entire Democrat Party and the administrative state. | |
| Instead of knowing and anchoring their existence to things that can be empirically understood and that are true and tying themselves to wisdom, they're at war with the natural world saying, when can we change it? | |
| So people ask us all the time, why do we care so much about the trans issue? | |
| Well, it is the, first of all, children are getting their parts chopped off. | |
| You should care about that. | |
| But it's also the death of any sort of agreed upon objective or absolute truth. | |
| The moral relativists, the moral subjectivists, they know exactly what they're doing, which is to get people into a postmodern, post-structural viewpoint of which inflation, spending, borders, gender, monogamy, children are just tales that we tell ourselves as if there is not a natural law rooted in the ability to be discovered via reason. | |
| Thank you, Thomas Aquinas. | |
| That these are just white supremacist, colonialist, Western constructs. | |
| And unfortunately, so few pastors and even fewer parents understand the insidious, corrosive nature that these ideas have to literally change everything. | |
| So Pramila Jayapal downplays inflation. | |
| She said, that's just a construct that inflation that economists use. | |
| To her, existence is merely a question of the will. | |
| Play cut 111. | |
| It is ultimately going to lead to a reduction in overall inflation, but most importantly, to the budget that people have every single day. | |
| Inflation is like a theoretical word that economists use, but what families feel every day is the up or down of costs. | |
| Oh, that's not probably going to help make anybody feel better. | |
| Yeah, it's just a theoretical word. | |
| We can liberate, liberate, huge word on the left, right, from the shackles that keep us down, such as the laws of nature and nature's God, as Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence. | |
| You understand what's going on here, just to reemphasize this. | |
| Again, this episode has been more philosophical intentionally, so we could take a step back. | |
| We are at war, metaphorical, remember, fight means peaceful, against people that are at war with nature. | |
| They have embarked on a jihad against the natural order. | |
| Our job is to protect and restore the laws of nature and nature as God. | |
| Or not restore the laws of nature. | |
| Let me say that differently. | |
| Restore the respect of laws of nature and nature as God. | |
| A civilization that recognizes reality. | |
| They are waging a nonstop bombing campaign because they have arrogance and not humility towards the laws of nature. | |
| They want to be in charge. | |
| Inflation, it's some construct. | |
| This is why religion matters so much. | |
| Andre from California says, Charlie loved the show. | |
| Did you see what Pelosi said about China? | |
| It just doesn't make any sense. | |
| Please make sense. | |
| Please make it make sense. | |
| There's some other words in there. | |
| Freedom at CharlieKirk.com. | |
| Cut 43, Nancy Pelosi talking about China, saying that China is one of the freest societies in the world. | |
| It's really amazing. | |
| Something like this a couple years ago would have ended a politician's career. | |
| Now it's just like, oh, whatever, we don't care. | |
| Play cut 43. | |
| We still support the one China policy. | |
| We go there to acknowledge the status quo is what our policy is. | |
| There was nothing disruptive about that. | |
| It was only about saying China is one of the freest societies in the world. | |
| Don't take it from me. | |
| That's from Freedom House. | |
| I mean, she's such a liar. | |
| You go to Freedom House, which, by the way, is a suspicious website to begin with. | |
| The way that they judge freedom or not is, you know, a little bit whatever, not exactly phenomenal, but it generally is pretty good. | |
| So according to FreedomHouse.org, which I think is an NGO, China has a 9 out of 100. | |
| Russia is 10 points freer than China, according to FreedomHouse.org. | |
| Venezuela is freer. | |
| Cuba is freer, according to freedomhouse.org. | |
| It's just a pathological lie. | |
| And she refuses to retract. | |
| China gets 9 out of 100. | |
| According to the very website that she cites, they have a negative 2 rating on political rights. | |
| Negative 2. | |
| As she says that China is one of the freest societies in the world. | |
| Freedom House is a nonpartisan organization, and they do studies on international human rights. | |
| Freedom House is the oldest American organization devoted to the support and defense of democracy around the world. | |
| Sounds very neoliberal. | |
| It was formerly established in New York, of course, in 1941 to promote American involvement in World War II and the fight against fascism, whatever. | |
| The point is that she cited it. | |
| She used it as a reference point. | |
| And it was not just wrong, it was fraudulent. | |
| Sandra says, Charlie, who do you think is going to run in 2024? | |
| I don't think it's going to be Biden. | |
| Yes, I will re-emphasize my prediction. | |
| I think Hunter Biden will be indicted in the next couple of months. | |
| I think that the Department of Justice wants both Trump and Biden out of the way. | |
| And I think one of the ways they could get space by doing that is rating Trump to show that they're non-political so that when they go after Hunter Biden, Republicans will be like, oh, well, I guess you use the heavy hand equally. | |
| 54, Bernie Sanders doesn't just throw Joe Biden under the bus, he shoves him under the bus. | |
| Play cut 54. | |
| So let me rephrase the question. | |
| Do you want to see him run for reelection? | |
| Look, right now, my concern is electing more Democrats in this midterm election so we can finally address the needs of working families. | |
| That's where my mind is. | |
| Yeah, not exactly a direct answer. | |
| Not at all. | |
| So look, as we summarize this week, everybody, I want to end with one thing. | |
| It's a beautiful proverb I heard from James Lindsay at our Turning Point USA Pastors Summit. | |
| It's a beautiful thing. | |
| And it's this. | |
| People ask me all the time, Charlie, what do I do? | |
| What do I do? | |
| What do I do? | |
| What can I do? | |
| And the proverb is this: you cannot fix what you do not understand. | |
| You got to commit yourself to knowing your stuff, listening to our podcasts, downloading them, getting your friends to do the same, reading the books that we mention here, watching our show, watching other shows, watching Tucker Carlson, taking Hillsdale online courses, charlieforhillsdale.com, getting into the weeds. | |
| You cannot fix what you do not understand. | |
| It sounds very self-evident, but when you think about it, if you're asking about what you can do, what you can do is learn and commit yourself to it. | |
