She is so clear in her commentary and brave in her approach to the entire racial regime that seems to be running our country.
The Corruption of Medicine 00:08:42
It is Heather McDonald, who has a new piece out called The Corruption of Medicine.
I was reading it during the break.
It's very thorough in the wonderful City Journal.
Heather, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
It's great to be with you, Charlie.
Thank you for having me on.
So, Heather, you write in this piece: the guardians of the medical profession are discarding merit in order to alter the demographics of their field.
Now, my wife just had a baby last week, and we wanted the best experts there, and thankfully we had them.
Are you trying to tell me that the direction medicine is going is that it's not going to be on merit, it's not going to be on competency, but instead on skin color?
Is that correct?
That's correct, Charlie.
And you may soon be getting an obstetrician that knows more about white privilege and heteronormativity than he or she does about how to deliver a C-section or a breach birth.
We have the very leaders of the medical profession, the Guardians, the AMA, the American Association of Medical Colleges, who have declared a patent untruth that medicine is shot through with systemic racism.
And the solution to that is massive racial preferences, both in admissions to medical schools and then into appointments to medical positions, into who runs research labs, what kind of research gets done.
Meritocracy is now viewed as just another symptom of white supremacy.
So, I'm reading this piece here, and I just want to re-emphasize this.
According to medical and STEM leaders, you write, to be white is to be per se racist.
Apologies and reparations for that offending trait are now derujeur.
In June 2020, Nature identified itself as Nature magazine as one of culpably, quote, white institutions that is responsible for bias in research and scholarship.
You continue to say the AMA strategic plan, quote, blames white male lawmakers for America's systemic racism.
So, Heather, you know, America has always had the best healthcare.
It's not always been widely accessible, and it's obviously been very expensive.
But we're playing with some very dangerous things here.
The death of meritocracy in a field of science and medicine is something that I don't think any decent civil society would do if it was sane.
Is there any sort of institutional backlash against this, or is it just all kind of a mass social experiment in a field that should be immune from such idea pathogens?
There is no institutional backlash, Charlie.
It is utterly astounding.
Recently, the National Cancer Institute sent out a notice to its cancer research centers saying, well, we give out this prestigious grant for the most cutting-edge researchers in cancer who are most likely to make breakthroughs by engaging in high-risk ideas.
You know, maybe their research won't pan out, but it could be paradigm shifting.
And the problem with these so-called outstanding investigator awards is that they have been predominantly given to white and Asian researchers in the past.
And that, according to the National Cancer Institute, which is a branch of the NIH, means that those awards are patently prima fascia, invalid, and racist.
So they asked their cancer centers to send in a different group of nominees.
In other words, change your standards, lower your standards to make sure that you're sending us underrepresented minorities regardless of their qualifications, who will then, of course, be selected for these awards.
And I asked an oncologist, when are you guys going to fight back?
When are white and Asian researchers going to say we refuse to be sidelined?
We refuse to have our accomplishments be torn away from us and demeaned for the trivialities of our skin color.
And he answered, basically, we need our jobs.
We value our jobs.
Those few individuals who have spoken out have been destroyed and we can't afford it.
So we're facing a fear factor where there are individual doctors who see what's happening.
They are appalled, and yet they will be crushed if they speak out and say we should be admitting medical students based on their medical skills, not based on their skin color.
Right now, a Black medical school applicant with mediocre MCAT scores, these are the standardized test scores to medicine, has a nine times greater chance of admissions than an Asian applicant.
These are scores that would be automatically disqualifying if presented by white and Asians, and yet we are admitting Blacks and Hispanics with much lower skills and they get passed along.
I mean, it doesn't take someone to understand all the intricacies of MSPE, the medical student performance evaluation, and all this, which is someone listening saying, wait a second, hold on.
You're trying to tell me that my doctor who might be performing highly complicated surgery on me, by the way, medical error is one of the leading causes of death in America, as it is, just so everyone's clear, that medical error kills a lot of people every single year.
We can get the actual number, but it's significant that now we're going to be introducing a supply of people that have subpar scores.
Can you just build that out more, Heather, just how wide the gap is now of the lowering of standards?
I'm just kind of glossing this right here.
I didn't get a chance to get to this part in the piece, but it says something like this.
The University of Pennsylvania Medical School guarantees admission to black undergraduates who score a modest 1300 on the SAT, maintain a 3.6 GPA, and complete two summers of internship at the school.
The school waives its MCAT requirement for these Black students.
UPenn's non-preferred medical students score in the top 1% of all MCAT takers.
What would a white student have to take then, Heather?
And how is that not outright in total discrimination?
It's total discrimination.
Again, a white MCAT score has to be in the top 1%, at least, if not better than that.
But if you're black, they don't even want to look at your MCATs because there are virtually no, I mean, there's few individual blacks that are, of course, are scoring high, but on average, there is what's known as a whole standard deviation of difference, and that's a fancy statistical term that basically means a really big, really significant difference between the average black MCAT score and the average white MCAT score.
Again, blacks are being admitted with scores that would be automatically disqualifying if submitted by whites.
And then what happens is, is quite predictably, according to mismatch theory, which is propounded by Richard Sander at the UCLA Law School and others, they don't do as well.
If you're admitted to an academic environment where you are not competitively qualified, you're not going to learn as much.
The teaching is going to be pitched at a higher level of skills than you have.
So they do poorly in medical schools.
So what's the next step?
Get rid of grades.
There's an essential test that is given at the second year of medical school called step one of the medical licensing exam.
Well, this year they abolished all grades in the step one test and replaced it with pass-fail.
Why?
Because blacks and Hispanics have much poor scores on step one.
And so we're saying to ourselves, we just want to destroy the yardsticks.
You know, it's like spinal tap.
You know, we're just going to change or destroy the yardsticks rather than acknowledge that there are underlying skills gap differences that need to be closed.
And it's too late to do it in medical school.
And you are putting people's lives at risk, not only when you show up at an ER with a fatal heart attack, but it's a more subtle problem as well, Charlie, which is medical research.
The federal government has encumbered medical research labs with these absurd diversity requirements for racism in who gets to work there, racism in clinical trials.
And that is slowing down the pace of research.
People tell me I'm spending more time writing my diversity, equity, and inclusion statement to try and justify how studying cell signaling and nematodes for cancer research has a diversity impact than I am actually doing the science.
So we are destroying the golden goose that has saved billions of lives the world over.
Slowing Medical Research Pace 00:03:43
I mean, this is the most serious, one of the most serious things happening in front of us.
And it's political in some sense, but I mean, you look at science and medicine is now going to be flooded with unqualified, over-promoted people based solely on the color of their skin.
It's also an insult to minorities.
It's a huge insult to minorities, as if they can't be able to get to medical school and get the grades necessary.
There's so much to unpack here.
Heather McDonald, and also read her book, The Diversity Delusion, everybody.
She was way ahead of the curve on this.
She saw it happening.
And the reason she saw it happening is she saw it happening on college campuses.
And she started happening, she saw it happening at entry-level jobs.
And I remember some of these kind of moderate Republican types would say, oh, Charlie, who cares about affirmative action if it's a janitor or if it's this?
And now it's affirmative action for your brain surgery, everybody, or your pilot, where your hand, your life is literally in somebody's hands.
So, Heather, I have a theory here, and I'd love your thoughts on it.
Politically, I'm just talking politically, not culturally and not in the corporate world.
It seems as if there has been a de-emphasizing of the race issue versus 2020.
Crime is up, and talking about BLM and talking about equity all the time seems to turn off suburban and independent voters.
What's your thoughts on that, Heather?
Think that the Democrats specifically are getting a little uneasy about talking about defund the police and the over-racialization of our politics.
What's your take?
Well, Biden is clearly terrified about defunding the police, but I don't take any particular long-term sucker from this.
I think as soon as they get through the elections, they're going to double down on the America is racist and the beating up on whites meme.
You know, we'll see if Biden restrains himself tonight on the white supremacists as big as source of violence and threat in the United States, which is a complete joke.
So, right now, you know, they've got the bright, shiny Mar-a-Lago bauble to play with.
But frankly, I don't think this signals any kind of long-term shift because there's just too many institutional players that, but above all, the universities, but now the press and government, you know, the deep state that are utterly invested in black privilege and the demonization of Western civilization as something that is corrupt and oppressive simply by virtue of its historical demographics.
So, Heather, do you think that there is a concerted pushback from Latino and Asians?
It seems as if white voters are split.
Half are on board for this and half are scared to say anything about it.
But it seems as if there's this pushback from Asian and Latino voters or people in particular that the hyperracialization of this doesn't necessarily always benefit the kind of body politic of the left.
Are you seeing any sort of backlash to this, not institutionally, but from the bottom up?
Well, certainly, you know, the best fighters against racial preferences in admissions, whether it's in, you know, K through 12, gifted and talented programs, admission schools, you know, the Asians have been very good on trying to stand up for colorblind meritocratic admissions on crime.
There has been a Hispanic vote.
And yet, let me tell you, I still remain amazed that the leaders in the Asian community, when they're talking about anti-Asian hate crimes, are still adopting the rhetoric of the left and implying, if not stating outright, that the problem is whites that are beating up on vulnerable Asian elderly when the videos speak for themselves.
Anti-Asian Hate Rhetoric 00:13:43
I mean, the Asian hate crime phenomenon is overwhelmingly committed by inner city blacks.
So, yes, there's grounds there and hope for peeling it off, but it's going to take a while because there's still a strong identification with the Democratic Party for whatever reason, whether it's wanting big government or not wanting to be associated with these racist Republicans that they keep hearing about from the media.
It's well said.
Heather McDonald, everyone check out her piece in City Journal.
It's very important.
The corruption of medicine.
And if you're in healthcare or if you have a son or daughter in healthcare, you have to send this piece.
It's so thoughtfully put together.
The corruption of medicine, city journal, city-journal.org.
Heather, thank you as always for joining us.
Thank you, Charlie.
I appreciate it.
How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
Producer Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.
And truth is, I know there are millions of people.
In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.
They are on a mission.
You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
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.
And I believe they'll do it.
So here's the deal.
If you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.
Go to relieffactor.com.
That's relieffactor.com.
Check it out right now, relieffactor.com.
You should order the three-week quick start too.
Discount only $19.95.
See if it will work for you.
I think it possibly could.
Give your body what it needs to heal itself.

We've been covering the Mar-a-Lago raid in some detail and the political fallout from that.
And there's no better person to help us unpack that than great American patriot Donald Trump Jr., who joins us right now.
Don, welcome back to the program.
Good to be with you, Charlie.
How's things?
Things are good.
You know, as you know, we just had a child.
I'm trying to catch up to you.
You have five, so I could use some advice.
And you got a lot of work.
It's going to take some time to catch up.
No kidding.
So, so, so, Don, I want to get your reaction.
There's been so much news here: Special Master abuse of the FBI, DOJ.
Kind of just riff for a little bit on your take of the abuse of power from the federal government, the continuing targeting of your family and your father.
The floor is yours.
Yeah, well, listen, I think, you know, obviously, you've seen all the details.
I think the thing that a lot of people miss is, you know, what I read, you know, that they used the FBI's hostage rescue team.
That's one of your thought maybe there was something here that isn't political, you realize that's the intimidation tactic.
I mean, for those of you who are listening who don't understand, the hostage rescue team, the HRT, that's like the Delta force.
That's the Navy feels of federal law enforcement.
I don't even know that they've used the HRT like, you know, on American soil.
So for them to be, you know, executing essentially a search warrant seems like something they've never been used before.
You know, a tactic designed simply to intimidate a political enemy.
You know, that to me was what was, you know, really crazy.
You're seeing all this stuff right now where they're leaking pictures selectively to the press of documents throughout the floor that seem like they're stage documents to make this seem.
I mean, this is an absolute farce.
It's absolutely disgusting what's going on.
You have the special master happens to be Jeffrey Etsy's lawyer.
Total coincidence.
He's an Obama appointee, probably a Trump hater.
Just magic of the thousands of magistrates chosen, I should say.
You know, he happens to be the one guy that gets, like, does anyone believe in this much coincidence?
Does anyone believe who's been watching for the last five years that all of this stuff just magically happened this way?
And this is the process functioning flawlessly.
It's just ridiculous.
So, you know, it doesn't surprise me anymore.
I guess I've gotten so accustomed to this sort of stuff going on.
But, you know, the FBI needs the HRT teams to raid Mar-a-Lago, even though they have documentation going back and forth that everyone's cooperating with one another.
But, you know, the guys that are on the quote-unquote FBI radar, you know, they magically shoot up schools or do whatever they're going to do because they check some sort of politically correct box.
We can't actually look at them, but we can persecute your grandmother because she's a conservative or your friend who happened to be within 500 miles of Washington, D.C. on January 6th.
It's a disgrace what's happened to the FBI, how politicized they become and how they've been weaponized against conservatives.
And I don't know how much longer this nonsense can continue.
You watch the press secretary, I guess it was yesterday, talking about how Trump voters are the greatest threat to democracy we've ever faced.
75 million people are the greatest threat to democracy.
Not the mushmouth idiot that's actually occupying the White House, but someone who voted for someone that thought they'd do a better job.
And that seems pretty obvious based on the facts.
That's the greatest threat to democracy.
I don't know, man.
It's a scary place where we are today, Charlie.
Yeah, so I want to play that cut right here, and then we can expand on it.
Play Cuss 61.
The president thinks that there is an extremist threat to our democracy.
The president has been clear as he can be on that particular piece when we talk about a democracy, when we talk about our freedoms.
The way that he sees is the MAGA Republicans are the most energized part of the Republican Party.
That extreme, this is an extreme threat to our democracy, to our freedom, to our rights.
Yeah, the most active part of our party, Don, our base, is an extreme threat to our country.
Have we ever heard a government talk like this?
Don, your thoughts?
No, I mean, we have.
Didn't work out that well historically.
I mean, you know, the left has been calling us Nazis and fascists and all this stuff, and yet they seem to be the ones doing that.
I mean, imagine demonizing 75 million people.
I mean, Hillary did that once when she called us all deplorables.
I mean, what's the difference?
I mean, are they just setting it up to like where they're going to start making sure that we wear our political affiliations on our sleeves and walk around?
I mean, this historically has not ended well.
All the names they've called us for so long seem to be the tactics actually employed by people throughout history that the left is doing right now.
I mean, this does not bode well for our country.
I hope that reason prevails, but it's like they're trying to goad people into taking on the government at this point.
But it's absolutely sick.
It's disgusting.
And honestly, if Donald Trump did it and he did it the way they would, someone in the press would actually say something.
Someone in the press would actually have a problem with it.
They'd be very loud about it.
They'd actually be right for a change.
But because it's the leftist, because they control every institution, because they own the media and big tech and everything like that, it's just going to be swept under rug, like it's nothing.
But yes, I thought that the quintessential definition of democracy was people voting freely for who they think could do a better job.
And if you compare Joe Biden's track record, despite sort of the sound bites from the same press secretary about the unprecedented economic recovery, I'm not sure I'm seeing that.
I think anyone with a job or anyone who's filled up their tank or anyone who's been to a supermarket would probably disagree.
But because the press has just given up on actually doing journalism and they're pure propagandists at this point, they'll just let it go and pretend as though the nonsense that they say is true.
So it seems to me that everything coming out of this administration, while simultaneously preaching for unity, is trying to do the exact opposite of create unity.
We'll hear them say stuff like that.
In the next sentence, they'll talk about, but we'll create unity.
Yeah, it's unity as long as you go 100% along with what you say or what we say.
If you do something otherwise, you're a threat to democracy.
You're a threat to freedom.
You're a threat to everything we'll believe.
I mean, it's absolutely disgusting.
But, you know, it'll continue.
Yeah, and they're only going to stop if they are stopped.
Let's play a piece of tape here.
I want to get your reaction to it.
We had the governor, governor of New York, saying to Trump supporters, jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong.
Now, Don, we could joke about this, but this is very serious where you have this kind of tearing apart a national divorce almost happening in slow motion.
Your father and you are both saying, can we calm down the temperature here?
But play cut one, the wonderful governor of New York, play cut one.
And we're here to say that the era of Trump and Zeldon and Molinaro, just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong, okay?
Get out of town.
Get out of town.
Because you don't represent our values.
You are not New Yorkers.
I mean, this language is so dangerous.
Don, your thoughts.
It's sick.
I mean, you know, you heard the same from Cuomo.
Anything that could get a sound bite, you know, in the past, didn't stop him from coming to our office and kissing butt for decades.
You know, who's more synonymous with New York?
Kathy Hochel, who no one had heard of prior to last month, or Donald Trump?
Who did more?
Who created more jobs?
But, you know, that's the thing.
They can get away with that kind of rhetoric while they continually fail the people of their state.
And, you know, they're able to get away with that perhaps because of the big cities.
If you go, you know, a few minutes outside of New York City, it's very different.
And those people don't feel that they have any representation because of exactly that kind of commentary.
Again, if you don't go along with everything the left wants you believe, you're not a New Yorker anymore.
It's like, you know, from someone who no one ever heard of in New York prior to this.
So it's sick.
It's disgusting.
And it's why I went and did a political fundraiser for Lee Zeldin, someone who believes in law and order, who wants to represent all people, who wants them in New York to be able to live their American dream, not this really, you know, previously effectively unelected official who's pretending to represent the values of New Yorkers.
I think even actual New Yorkers, even Democrat New Yorkers are watching this stuff and saying, okay, now they're going too far.
But again, because it's so easy to become radicalized, because you know you're going to have the boosting in the media.
You know, you're going to get the campaign contributions from California and New York City.
You know, it's just easy to take that approach while leaving regular, hardworking Americans by the wayside.
You know, that's what's going on.
I see it.
I see it from Democrats who are shocked that the Biden administration would weaponize and use the FBI against their political enemies.
But you haven't been watching the left if you're shocked about that.
They just didn't think it'd be possible.
You know, the party of unity, the party of tolerance is anything but, you know, it's a wonderful soundbite for them, and the press will carry their water pretending it's so.
But if you actually listen to their, you know, their actions, if you actually look at their policy, it's anything but.
And hopefully people are waking up to that because we're living in a very scary time right now.
Yeah, no doubt.
One final tape here I want to play really quick.
Don't only got a couple couple minutes remaining.
Play cut 42, Joe Biden mocking right-wing Americans for not being armed enough to potentially fight against tyranny.
God forbid it ever comes to that.
Play cut play cut 42.
And for those brave right-wing Americans who say it's all about shaping America, you're keeping America's independent and safe, if you want to fight against your country, you need an F-15.
You need something a little more than a gun.
Don, your thoughts.
Well, listen, it's sort of interesting watching Joe Biden try to mock anyone for anything since the guy can't even get through a complete sentence.
I mean, you got a mush brain president in the later stages of dementia.
But, you know, minor details.
That doesn't matter.
Again, you can get away with that if you're Joe Biden.
But I mean, imagine the sitting president of the United States essentially threatening.
I mean, I don't know.
It sounds like it's almost like he's asking for them to fight back.
Sounds like a threat.
I'd hope that's not the case.
But it literally sounds like he's doing that and threatening ordinary citizens, people who believe in their Second Amendment, that they're going to have to go up against the F-15.
I mean, that's why the Second Amendment is so important because clowns like this and the left, if you think they're acting anything other than as a dictatorship would be, that's why we have to fight so hard to preserve these rights.
I'm saying to do that peacefully, to do that voting, but we can't sit by and hope that they're going to do the right thing because to me, it's all one big power grab under the guise of freedom.
It has nothing to do with freedom.
For them, it has to do with power.
That's all they want.
That's what they're going to unass.
So, you know, watching Joe Biden feebly attempt to try to goad people into a fight, that's what it seems like to me.
Again, I hope that's not the case, but threatening citizens, if they believe in their Second Amendment rights, they're going to have to be able to take on an F-15.
I mean, man, that's stupid even for Joe Biden.
And, you know, God, it doesn't get much dumber.
You could look a level deeper.
They're asking you to move out of their states.
They're threatening you with the power of the government.
This is not a good direction.
It's not sustainable.
Everybody needs to remember, stay peaceful, don't fall for their bait or fall for their traps.
Donald Trump Jr., thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
Thanks, always done.
Great to be with you, Gad.
Uncle Tom 2 is an eye-opening documentary everyone in America should see.
Bank of America Discrimination 00:03:47
Charlie Kirk here.
Uncle Tom 2 offers a compelling and brave analysis of the true history of black America.
It talks about the cultural shift from prosperity, integrity, and faith to its current perceived state of anger, discontent, and victimhood.
Uncle Tom 2 offers historical footage, photos, correspondence, and data to reveal the genuine strides of black America in the 20th century, the deliberate Marxist strategy to create racial tension and replace God with government, the NAACP's sinister agenda, the truth behind Black Lives Matter, and more.
Don't miss Uncle Tom 2 from executive producer Larry Elder and director Justin Malone.
With Brandon Tatum, Vodie Bockham, and Chad O'Jackson, watch the movie on demand and buy the DVD now at SalemNow.com.
That's salemnow.com.
Check it out.
SalemNow.com.
I want to get to just a couple thoughts here, and then we'll get to my kind of thesis on life expectancy.
Charlie, great show today on the diversity delusion.
The North Carolina Highway Patrol has been doing this for decades.
They average up the physical and written test scores to make a T-score number.
That will be the Highway Patrol Trooper candidate's total score number.
The minority candidates are able to get in with a lower score than white candidates, so they can have a diversified force.
And that is Chris.
Why do we put up with this kind of racism?
Why do we put up with that?
Charlie, can you recommend a conservative bank?
I'm looking for a replacement due to B of A's racist lending program announced yesterday.
That's true.
We have not covered that.
And also, Paul showed that he subscribed to the Charlie Kirk show.
So Paul is being such a good follower.
We're going to send him a copy of the college scam.
See, that's what happens when you guys subscribe.
You might actually win up a copy of my book, The College Scam.
So subscribe right there.
Paul did it without even asking.
Very kind of him.
We're going to cover the BOA story.
And yeah, to answer your question, there is a great bank that we use in North Dakota and in Arizona here.
And they do a great job.
And we've transferred all of our banking over to that.
It's called First International Bank and Trust.
They won't cancel you.
They're great.
They're phenomenal people.
First International Bank and Trust, non-woke, after BOA announces the most insane hiring policies.
It's not actually the story I wanted to cover right now, but I'm going to cover it just for a second here.
Bank of America announces that if you are black or Hispanic, you get a zero-down payment mortgage for first-time buyers.
You hear that, Mikey?
If you were black, Mikey, right here, Mikey is very much not black.
But Mikey's trying to buy a home.
You just got married.
But Mikey is not able to get zero.
You could use a zero down payment, right?
But he's white, so he doesn't get that.
That is discrimination against white people.
It's an anti-white policy by Bank of America.
It's just that simple.
Bank of America said it's now offering first-time homebuyers in select groups of cities zero down payment, zero closing cost mortgages.
Yeah, nothing can go wrong with this.
Zero down payment, zero, just only for black and Hispanic and Latino communities.
You know what?
We could get Steve, you could sue.
Stephen Miller might be able to represent Mikey for this.
I'm not kidding.
We should look into that.
Andrew, reach out to Stephen Miller.
I bet he could represent Mikey against BOA.
That's not a joke.
I'm serious.
It's a married white couple that is discriminated against based on the color of your skin.
Possibly suing the big bank, Bank of America.
I looped into this one, Mikey.
Sorry.
All right.
Didn't plan to cover that.
But yes, we use First International Bank and Trust.
Again, it's not a commercial.
If you like them, they're great.
I know the family behind them.
They're wonderful people, great patriots.
Life Expectancy Plunges 00:02:47
U.S. life expectancy plunged again in 2021, down nearly a year.
U.S. life expectancy has dropped for the second consecutive year in 2021, following by a year from 2020.
So let me just pause here.
One of the selling points of modernity, one of the kind of compelling reasons why all of us have to work so hard and keep this kind of thing, this whole thing afloat, is you get to live longer.
If you kind of look at the charts of the people that defend free markets, and obviously I'm one of them, but the people that like almost pathologically defend markets at all costs, they say, well, we're living longer than ever before, and we're living longer than we did in the early 1900s.
Now, if you actually take out infant mortality and pregnancy-related deaths, life expectancy has only moderately increased over the last 50 years, but it's still legit.
But now that life expectancy is going down, and the last time life expectancy went down was during the height of World War II, we should probably take a pause and say, what the heck is going on?
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention officials blame COVID-19 for about half the decline in 2021, a year where vaccinations became widely available, blah, Okay.
It's a dismal situation.
It was bad before and it's gotten worse.
But it's also gone down because of fentanyl.
That's right.
Drug overdose is fentanyl, suicide, people harming themselves.
This is a major issue.
Experts say that there are many possible reasons for such differences.
I'm so tired of hearing about experts.
Whenever I hear expert, I immediately discount what it's saying.
They say it's because of low vaccination rates.
Let me tell you, it's not because of low vaccination rates.
A greater share of the population and lower paying jobs.
How about this?
You lock down the entire country unnecessarily for two years.
But its decline in 2020, 2021 will stand as the first two consecutive years of declining life expectancy.
Life expectancy for women in the United States dropped about 10 months from just under 10, from just under 80 years.
Maybe our leaders should be more concerned about why life expectancy is declining rapidly more than the MAGA base are sending money to Ukraine.
If your country seems to not care when life expectancy goes down, you need new leaders.
