| Email us your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com. | |
| With us is the incredible Jack Pasobic from Turning Point USA's Human Events Daily. | |
| First, Jack, how great is Border Battle? | |
| People could check it out at SalemNow.com. | |
| Is it not a phenomenal piece? | |
| I mean, Charlie, the only thing that I have a problem with is the fact that this thing only drops once a week because episode four was such a barn burner. | |
| And we've got five and six coming up the end of this week. | |
| And they are not, I've been begging, but Turning Point will not give me early access to the episodes. | |
| Can you believe it? | |
| Yeah, Jack, you have to go to SalemNow.com and you're just see them and it's so informative. | |
| The team has done such a great job. | |
| In addition, we have your documentary, The Great Reset, which is airing on Real America's Voice every Sunday night. | |
| Is that right? | |
| That's right. | |
| So it's every Sunday night that you're able to watch this. | |
| It comes in with, so basically, we're doing our special, then we do Great Reset, and then you get Border Battle immediately afterwards. | |
| So it's really this entire block takeover of Real America's Voice with the Turning Point programming plugging into that Sunday night. | |
| I know people like to watch, they'll do Bannon on Saturday mornings. | |
| Sometimes he'll do specials, other stuff. | |
| But Sunday nights really is becoming the place to be when it comes to RAF. | |
| It's pretty awesome. | |
| So, Jack, I want to ask you: you know, you talked, you kind of tweeted this out here. | |
| Biden admitted publicly he was coercing Saudi Arabia to lower oil prices before midterms by threatening them with consequences, and Republicans gave him a pass. | |
| What do you mean by that? | |
| Well, so here's the thing, right, Charlie? | |
| The last time I was on this program, on your program, and you were one of the few people that brought this up and really gave it the attention it did. | |
| Obviously, on Human Events, we did as well. | |
| On Bannon, we did as well, on War Room. | |
| But I noticed that with this issue, right, the fact that, and by the way, we just saw last night, as a matter of fact, this kind of prompted me on this, that Biden has announced yet again, another 15 million barrels from our strategic oil reserve are going to be released prior to midterms. | |
| That he's literally stealing away the reserve of the American people. | |
| He's stealing away all of this, encountering and going into co-quid pro quos with the Saudis, with OPEC, with everybody else. | |
| Meanwhile, by the way, OPEC is coming out saying it's not just the Saudis, it's all of us. | |
| We're all against you at this point. | |
| You're ridiculous. | |
| Your policies have allowed us to do this, and we are going to use this leverage. | |
| They're stealing from the American people, they're entering into quid pro quos, and yet I haven't seen the Republican leadership. | |
| I haven't seen Republican candidates. | |
| I haven't seen this gaining the traction that it really needs. | |
| And maybe it's because it's one of those things where they think, oh, you know, maybe the voters don't understand. | |
| Maybe they don't understand what the strategic oil reserve is. | |
| Maybe they don't understand what the importance of this is. | |
| No, I think voters are actually smart, right? | |
| And it may be, you know, Rush had that great line about low-information voters, which is true, but he also pointed out voters aren't stupid. | |
| The American people are just busy. | |
| Okay. | |
| So you have to educate. | |
| You have to use the megaphone. | |
| You have to get the story out there. | |
| And Charlie, you've been great on this. | |
| Steve isn't great on this. | |
| A lot of people, other people have been great on this. | |
| But where are the leaders? | |
| Where are the members of Congress that are now going back in those contentious districts? | |
| I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, Charlie, but they're all up for election right now, bringing this, at least in the House. | |
| So bringing this to the American people in their district to understand, you see the reason your gas prices are going up right now? | |
| It's because of Joe Biden and this is the stuff he's doing. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And so I want to talk about another issue where the Republicans have been basically silent, and that is with Steve Bannon. | |
| And so, so talk about what's happening with Steve Bannon. | |
| What is the latest here? | |
| You've been very outspoken on this. | |
| You know, Steve's a friend of this program. | |
| Walk us through it. | |
| I mean, so, so here's another thing, right? | |
| You got a guy, Steve Bannon. | |
| He is the host of one of the top conservative podcasts in America, has been for two years running. | |
| Though, of course, the Charlie Kirk show and human events are catching up on his tale very quickly, very quickly. | |
| He was the chairman of the Trump campaign in 2016. | |
| By the way, they already locked up one Trump chairman. | |
| His name is Paul Manafort. | |
| They put him in solitary for 11 months. | |
| We did the sit-down special with him. | |
| Now they're going after the other Trump chairman from 2016 to lock him up when, at a strategic point in the midterm elections, the Friday of October, was it the 20th? | |
| It'll be the 21st. | |
| They want to go after him going right into midterms to shut him up and silence him. | |
| But also, as a point, not only for this election, but also the 24 election, because they're reminding people: if you work for Donald Trump, we will go after you. | |
| We'll go after your businesses. | |
| We'll investigate you. | |
| We'll throw you in jail. | |
| That's exactly what they did with Paul Manafort. | |
| They're doing the same thing with Steve Bannon. | |
| And Charlie, it's happening this Friday. | |
| Merrick Garland, this corrupt Department of Justice, right? | |
| It's amazing, by the way. | |
| Step back. | |
| On one hand, you've got the Danchenko trial going on right now, and it's exposing all of the lies and the corruption at the Department of Justice. | |
| But then on the other hand, you've got the same Department of Justice that's going to be locking up Steve Bannon this Friday and calling for him to be jailed for a period of six months. | |
| Now, Steve's lawyers have come back, and the latest on that is their response is: he deserves probation. | |
| This is a first-time offender. | |
| This is someone who's never broke the law before. | |
| It's also something that's never actually charged in Washington, D.C., ever since like the 1970s. | |
| So that's not exactly something where you have a precedent for it. | |
| They've asked for probation. | |
| They've asked for potentially home arrest. | |
| But at the same time, you're hearing the party largely silent on this thing. | |
| And I think when we see a fellow conservative leader who's being attacked like this, who's being shot down like this, and that's what it is, that we all need to be outspoken. | |
| And I hope that this Friday, that there are people in the streets with signs chanting peacefully, right? | |
| Right? | |
| Peacefully and patriotically that they support the freedom of speech of Stephen K. Banner. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And so the Department of Justice is going after this kind of full speed. | |
| And then also Steve kind of faces charges in New York as well. | |
| And it doesn't seem as if, though, many Republicans have the courage to even speak out against this. | |
| It's the same thing with the Alex Jones situation, right? | |
| Which is, oh, it's a little bit too on the fringe for me. | |
| I don't like it. | |
| And I mean, Steve has an amazing platform and an amazing audience, and he speaks and really is helping a lot of these Republicans actually to hold on to their seats, ironically. | |
| I really hope that people start to wake up sometime soon to what's going on with the kind of ever-growing Leviathan police state in our country. | |
| And it's not just Steve, but it's expanding beyond this. | |
| And Jack, there's still people that are in January 6th, solitary confinement to this day, still people that are in pre-trial detention. | |
| They want to perp walk all of us. | |
| Why is this so hard for so many moderate Republicans to understand? | |
| Well, so it's that classic, you know, example of if I feed the alligator, then he won't eat me. | |
| If I feed the alligator, he won't eat me. | |
| But then you realize that eventually the alligator will come for you. | |
| And so you have to stop feeding the alligator. | |
| The alligator in this case, it could be the, you could talk about the corrupt criminal justice system. | |
| You could talk about the wokeification of our institutions. | |
| You could talk about all of these various things that have led us to this point. | |
| But Charlie, it's much easier, right? | |
| It's much easier for them to be cowards, to not be outspoken, to not point out that these are precedents now that are being set. | |
| Okay. | |
| So the Alex Jones case, regardless of what you think about Alex Jones said, that's not the point here. | |
| The point is this is a new precedent that we can come after you for your speech and that we can find you up to a billion dollars for it. | |
| That wasn't the precedent before in the United States. | |
| The precedent was you can say all sorts of crazy things on the radio. | |
| Howard Stern says crazy things on the radio. | |
| Rachel Maddows says crazy things. | |
| Doesn't become an issue. | |
| Steve Bannon, contempt of Congress. | |
| You can look at the whole list of people that have gone contempt of Congress. | |
| Lois Lerner all the way back, just even in the modern era. | |
| She was never put in jail. | |
| Her home wasn't raided by the FBI. | |
| The new precedents are being set every single day, and Republicans are terrified to actually do something about it, to step up. | |
| And by the way, I would call not just for Republicans at the federal level, but I'd talk about the states as well. | |
| Think about it. | |
| You've got a state like California. | |
| This is how, this is the two sides, right, Charlie? | |
| When one side says, we will change America and we will break every rule in order to do so. | |
| And the other side says, hey, we just want to be left alone. | |
| Which side do you think is going to win? | |
| The state of California just passed a new law that said if children, children, minors come to their state for gender transition surgeries or gender transition procedures and the other state said, hey, they're not allowed to do that. | |
| You don't have custody. | |
| California will say, we will not enforce your warrants. | |
| We will not extradite. | |
| We will not extradite on the basis of this. | |
| So that's the kind of energy when I see that. | |
| And Darren Beattie has a piece at Revolver talking about it. | |
| When I see that kind of energy out of the left, I say, well, why can't the right do that? | |
| Why can't the right create sanctuary states for pro-life? | |
| Why can't they create sanctuary states for gun laws, for any number of these things? | |
| Yep, that's exactly what is necessary. | |
| But it's going to take some Republicans, I think, like Kerry Lake to think that way and not these normy, weak Republicans that are moral equivalents to the Vichy French. | |
| Charlie Kirk here, look, I've told you about producer Andrew and how Relief Factor has really improved his life and relieved the pain in his knees and back. | |
| Now, let me tell you about Yvonne in California. | |
| She says this, quote, both my husband and I are in our 70s and so grateful to have found Relief Factor. | |
| We tried so many other solutions, but none of them have given us the freedom from aches and pains like Relief Factor. | |
| I hear Yvonne, Relief Factor works for me too. | |
| Relief Factor is a 100% drug-free solution developed by doctors based on scientific research to help your body attack the underlying inflammation causing you pain. | |
| Three weeks from now, you could be doing the things you enjoy doing. | |
| Your first step to becoming pain-free could be just to order the three-week quick start for only $19.95. | |
| After trying Relief Factor, over half a million people have gone on to order more. | |
| Go to relieffactor.com or call 8004 Relief to find out more about this offer. | |
| That's relieffactor.com or call 8004 Relief. | |
| Live your best life and feel the difference with Relief Factor. | |
| Jack, something suspicious is happening in China. | |
| There is something, it's the National Congress, is that right? | |
| Or it is, it's kind of the big, the big CCP meeting. | |
| Walk us through what's happening here. | |
| Okay, so this is the coronation of Xi Jinping as chairman for life of the CCP. | |
| What the National Party's Conference is, it's a five-year, held every five-year summit for the CCP. | |
| So this is only the 20th one, right? | |
| So that means we can all do math out there. | |
| That means it's been 100 years since they've been doing these. | |
| So the 20th Party Congress, Xi Jinping has really got his leadership, his elites, his allies, the people that are on his side in every single key position now of the Politburo, the Politburo Standing Committee, the Politburo Expanded Committee. | |
| He is across the military, across every single member of the Secretariat. | |
| It's all of his loyalists, the generals, they're all in place for Xi. | |
| And what he's done is essentially become the new chairman for life of China. | |
| It's a coronation. | |
| Now, I called this out in Newsweek. | |
| I predicted this all the way back in January, January 31st of 2022. | |
| And Charlie, you might remember that if you go look at the China hands and the China experts in this whole area, they'll say, well, you know, Xi Jinping, he's not as strong as everybody thinks he is. | |
| We think there's different factions within China that are able to take him down. | |
| We think that if the Olympics don't go well, they might, you know, he might fall flat on his face. | |
| But Charlie, that wasn't what happened at all, as a matter of fact. | |
| And in my piece, I predicted that the factions within the CCP are nowhere near. | |
| I mean, they've got Jiang Zemin. | |
| The guy's like 100,000 years old, and they say that he's going to be the face of the opposition, the old toad, they call him. | |
| This is a guy, by the way, who was behind the crackdown at Tiananmen Square. | |
| That's one of the reasons he got the job. | |
| And so when you look at what's going forward with this, my gripe with a lot of it is that a lot of the experts, and you see this on the right and the left, they keep telling you that the CCP is about to collapse, the CCP is about to collapse, but that's actually not what's happening. | |
| Xi Jinping is methodically and systematically taking out his opposition across the country to the point, Charlie, where it's gotten so bad. | |
| We talk about lockdown policies here in the United States, and a lot of that's starting to come back on a lot of these politicians. | |
| Of course, as we've seen videos, video coming back with sending their own words against them when it came to the efficacy of these vaccines and the fact that, no, actually, the vaccines never stopped transmission, despite what you all said no less than one year ago. | |
| In China, the CCP, by showing their, they've made it a declaration they must be COVID-0, which is obviously insane. | |
| It's complete insanity that you're going to be able to eradicate this from the entire country. | |
| Well, Xi Jinping has said that you will show loyalty to me and created a new contest, basically, within the CCP. | |
| So the provincial leaders, the city leaders, the municipal leaders of the party, Charlie, they're all trying to crack down harder than everyone else in the party to show their fealty to the emperor. | |
| That's actually what's going on within China right now. | |
| Yeah, is it this like, you mentioned this before? | |
|
The Mandate of Heaven Lost
00:02:12
|
|
| Is this part of the superstitious that a plague is assigned from the heavens to get rid of a leader? | |
| Or is this all just about control? | |
| Because how can China have a productive economy while pursuing a zero COVID policy? | |
| Well, it's a little of both. | |
| And people will remember, you know, I always kind of throw this out that on the very first episode of War Room Pandemic, that's exactly what I said. | |
| I said, under the theory of dynastic cycles and the theory of dynastic decline within China, if you think of the CCP as just another dynasty of China, right? | |
| Everyone knows that China has their dynasty. | |
| The Jing dynasty was the last dynasty. | |
| Before that, the Yuan dynasty, you know, it fell, they were the Manchus. | |
| They were the one. | |
| Well, it was the Manchus, and before that was the Yuan. | |
| The theory is that when you lose the mandate of heaven, you will see signs. | |
| And some of those signs are foreign invasion. | |
| Another one of the, you know, corruption, decay. | |
| But another one of those signs is famine and pestilence. | |
| So pestilence being diseases. | |
| If diseases are rampant throughout your land and you cannot control them, then that is a sign that you have lost the mandate of heaven. | |
| And by the way, this isn't, you know, an idea that, you know, that they're religious in any way. | |
| It's just sort of this, this really ingrained Confucian idea of Confucian superstition. | |
| Yeah, sure. | |
| But yeah, I just, I don't understand it. | |
| I mean, how can you lock down a country and still be economically vibrant? | |
| I don't understand that at all. | |
| Well, they don't care, right? | |
| They actually don't care because it is about control and it's about maintaining power within the country. | |
| And so they know they're going to take the economic hit. | |
| But as we've always said, Charlie, this is why the CCP did everything they could to spread COVID to the rest of the world so that everyone would have to take an economic hit, not just them. | |
| Yeah, there's something here that doesn't make sense because if they spread it to the rest of the world, then why would they do this? | |
| I mean, it just might be the simple explanation might be the best. | |
| It's that the Chinese government is just really, probably, really dumb on this and that there is some superstitious thing and they're just trying to further control the Chinese citizenry from a kind of get them further and further away from liberty because liberty probably threatens Xi Jinping more than anything else is that if you have people controlled, then they're not going to be restless in the streets. | |
| Okay, Jack, thank you so much. | |
| Great job as always. | |

|
| Everyone check out his podcast, Human Events Daily. | |
| Thank you, Jack. | |
| Thanks, Ryan. | |
| Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here. | |
| The southern border is wide open, and we have to tell the world about it. | |
| Our team at Turning Point USA has been working over the last year to have a one-of-a-kind documentary all about the drugs, the guns, the crime, the criminals that are flowing across the southern border. | |
| Our team at Turning Point USA has been working so hard on this through amazing frontline footage that shows the border patrol agents, shows people crossing the border, the illegal drug trade, the economic and societal fallout that illegal immigration has on the United States. | |
| Every single state is a border state. | |
| And we here being headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, want the rest of the country, want you all across America to see what we are living through in Arizona. | |
| It's a one-of-a-kind docu-series available exclusively on salemnow.com. | |
| That is salemnow.com. | |
| You guys will see the porous southern border wide open and what we can do to solve it. | |
| If you want to learn about the border, this is your opportunity. | |
| Brought to you by Turning Point USA, available at salemnow.com. | |
| The Surgeon General of Florida, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, and he has a fabulous new book I want to tell you about. | |
| But first, I want to welcome him to our program. | |
| Doctor, welcome to the show. | |
| Pretty much, Charlie. | |
| Yeah, well, thank you for joining us. | |
| And the book is called Transcend Fear, a Blueprint for Mindful Leadership in Public Health. | |
| Doctor, why don't you take an opportunity to introduce yourself first, your history, and how you found yourself to be Surgeon General of Florida. | |
| And then also, I just loved your insight of how on earth that has become a lightning rod in recent years. | |
| But introduce yourself, please. | |
| Yeah, thanks. | |
| Thanks, Charlie. | |
| So, you know, you might be shocked if you read the newspapers to know that I went to medical school and received a PhD in a quantitative field at Harvard. | |
| And I spent years as a physician and a researcher at NYU and then UCLA. | |
| And I just recently joined the faculty of University of Florida. | |
| I've had, I don't know, maybe 70 or 80 peer-reviewed publications. | |
| I've had, I think, five NIH grants, including four clinical trials. | |
| And when it comes to research, I have a pretty strong background. | |
| I get fact-checked by journalists who some of whom have never taken a quantitative class in their life, but I actually do have a pretty strong background in research and also clinical medicine. | |
| Yeah, that must be frustrating, I suppose. | |
| You have a great spirit and a great attitude. | |
| One of the reasons why I love you is because you have great joy and it comes across. | |
| You love people and you want to serve them. | |
| And it must be interesting to have some sort of 24-year-old fact checker, right? | |
| I mean, that really doesn't have the background that you do. | |
| I mean, what's that like? | |
| I mean, they're telling you, no, your study is wrong. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| Yeah, it's, oh man, I'm sorry. | |
| I moved my camera. | |
| So, so, yes, it's quite an experience. | |
| You know, I was reading this LA Times editorial. | |
| And this, I mean, I get it. | |
| And frankly, like two things. | |
| So first of all, even some people who have some training in this area, unfortunately, still don't invest the time to understand certain research methods before they go ahead and start making criticisms. | |
| So that's one issue. | |
| The other issue is when journalists who I have no problem, I have obviously, I have nothing against journalists, but this particular journalist at the LA Times not only doesn't have the research background, but was parroting someone else who also didn't understand the methods, but presenting that as if he understood what he was talking about. | |
| So it's just so bizarre. | |
| And it is amazing that there's so little self-awareness that people are just, you know, you know more about treating patients with COVID than a doctor who worked in the hospital at UCLA and has taken care of patients with COVID. | |
| And apparently you also know more about research methodology than a guy who spent extra years in graduate school to get a PhD. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So just for example, I mean, we have a journalist we found who fact-checked you, who, again, might be a very sweet person, but she graduated in 2017 from Wayne State with a degree in broadcast journalism. | |
| Again, might be a sweet person, not trying to attack her, but this stuff is very, I mean, at some point, you've gone through a rigorous, you know, life experience and you put forward a study. | |
| And one of your tweets you put out, I really want to compliment you on because I love it. | |
| You said, basically, look at all the wonderful discussion we're stimulating. | |
| Isn't it great that we can discuss science transparently instead of trying to cancel one another? | |
| I'm going to respond to the more substantive critiques. | |
| I mean, you've been in the scientific realm your whole life. | |
| In the last two years, you've experienced something that I'm sure have just floored you and many others, which is it's not even a matter of discussing the studies or having dialogue. | |
| They just want to destroy you. | |
| Where does that come from? | |
| Well, that is a good question for those people to ask themselves. | |
| And unfortunately, considering we're entering our third year of this and they're still doing the same thing, I don't think we can count on them to ask themselves that question. | |
| Ultimately, I think the root of it is fear. | |
| And whether it's fear of betting on the wrong course in terms of some of these really destructive policies and having to come face to face with that, that you made a mistake that has affected the lives of millions of people, for example, with these long school closures, or fear of losing some political battle that they think means something, or certainly they think means more than their integrity. | |
| I'm not sure, but it's certainly not coming from a place that you want to spend any time in. | |
| You know, it's coming from a place that has lots of sadness and misery and other things like that. | |
| So let's talk about some of the specifics, especially in the last 48 hours, 72 hours that has really kind of, I don't know, lit the media on fire. | |
| You came out with a report where it said, and I'm just paraphrasing, 84% increase in myocarditis or pericarditis or cardiac events for young men. | |
| Is that correct? | |
| That took the mRNA vaccine? | |
| Is that right? | |
| Actually worse, worse. | |
| So the risk of myocarditis, which has been evaluated extensively by others, is actually more on the order of 20 times, 30 times, sometimes even 40 times. | |
| So you're talking increases of in the thousands of percentage. | |
| So that's, that's kind of, that is well known. | |
| What we found that was novel that really got people very agitated. | |
| And by the way, not because we did anything special. | |
| The one special thing we did was just ask the question. | |
| That's what distinguished us from other people. | |
| But what we found was that there was an 84% risk increase in cardiac death if you're a young man and you take one of these mRNA shots. | |
| And it was only in young men. | |
| So it wasn't in young women. | |
| It wasn't in older women. | |
| It wasn't in older men. | |
| Actually, older men also had a risk increase of, it was more modest, maybe 10%, but they also benefited. | |
| So there was a lower overall mortality in that age group. | |
| So this was a finding that was unique to a specific population in the study. | |
| And it's consistent with a lot of the very tragic anecdotal evidence we've been receiving on the ground of unexplained increases in cardiac struggles with young men. | |
| So if you Google your name, I think the media has become so dishonest in more ways than one. | |
| They say this. | |
| They say medical experts reject Florida Surgeon General's COVID-19 vaccine guidance. | |
| Again, it's written kind of by that same kind of journalist posture we were talking about earlier. | |
| And then Washington Post experts slam Florida Surgeon General warnings on coronavirus vaccines. | |
| And so what do they mean by medical experts? | |
| That sounds so intimidating. | |
| It sounds so overwhelming. | |
| Is that how science works? | |
| You find five medical experts and you could just throw studies away? | |
| Oh my gosh. | |
| They really, it's ironic because what they're doing is essentially destroying science. | |
| There's just, there's no debate, there's no discussion, there's no platform to evaluate the study or specific concerns. | |
| And I'm going to repeat this. | |
| There are so many people. | |
| I'm going to call this guy out. | |
| And I hope I'm not doing the wrong thing by doing this, but the chair of medicine at UCSF, one of the greatest medical schools in the country, put out a tweet of criticism that abjectly showed he had no idea what the study methodology is. | |
| So if you've got department chairs who don't understand a study, but are so certain in their communication about whether that study does what it purports to do or whether you can have any confidence in its findings, that's how far off we are. | |
| That's how far away we are from our foundational principles of honesty and integrity and curiosity. | |
| It's hard to even put your mind around it. | |
| I mean, it's both disheartening and just bewildering. | |
| And it's also, I mean, has civilizational implications too, right? | |
| I mean, if you can't have a platform or a process to be able to, let's just say, chart an inquiry into the natural world and determine whether or not something we're giving hundreds of millions of people is working, and you just suppress all that speech, that's a really bad thing for all people, including the defenders of this technology that think it's the best thing ever. | |
| You know, so I just did a campus event the other day at University of Texas Austin, and somebody came up and they said that, Charlie, I don't like that you're asking questions about the vaccine. | |
| It's the best thing ever. | |
| And I asked the audience, I said, how many people in the audience here? | |
| Raise your hand. | |
| If you know somebody that had a very serious event from the vaccine or died, you know, inexplicably right after. | |
| And every single hand went up in the room. | |
| And, you know, that, and he said, oh, no, none of that, none of that matters. | |
| You know, he said, just look at the data and the data is coming through. | |
| And there's a lot of unanswered questions. | |
| And so, doctor, I got to wonder, you know, this is a tough fight. | |
| You're up against some of the massive pharmaceutical companies. | |
| And be very clear, you're not saying don't take the vaccine. | |
| You're not saying it's awful. | |
| You're not saying anything. | |
| You're just saying, wait a second. | |
| My guidance is that for a specific age group of a specific sex, do not take this vaccine. | |
| It's just not the guidance of the state of Florida. | |
| And then you have all these forces coming against you. | |
| Where do you get your strength and courage from to talk about this? | |
| Because it would have been easy just for you to, you know, do what every other surgeon general has basically done, which is basically nothing. | |
| Yeah, yeah, it's true. | |
| And I mean, and what we're saying really is that, look, I mean, I think it's a bad idea. | |
| If you're a young man at this point in the pandemic to take one of these vaccines when it is, when we have evidence of not only from our study, but other studies of cardiovascular risk, I think it's a bad idea. | |
| So where does my strength come from? | |

Quality Meat from Good Ranchers
00:03:24
|
|
| I actually, it relates to my book, actually, what I describe in my book, because I wasn't always like this. | |
| In fact, for most of my life until a few years ago, I wasn't like this at all. | |
| But I worked with a guy. | |
| Basically, I was driving my poor wife nuts with all my stress and fear and all that stuff. | |
| And she finally found a guy who helped me deal with those things and resolve them definitively with stuff that I don't understand. | |
| So specifically Chinese medicine stuff, meridian theory stuff related to the flow of qi. | |
| And I worked with him and I was basically reborn. | |
| I was like a new, I was a new man because basically he helped me. | |
| It turns out that we store our stress and our trauma in our bodies, like in our parts of our bodies, in our muscles, in our tendons, and our ligaments. | |
| I don't understand it, but that's the truth. | |
| And I was doing that just like everybody else walking this planet. | |
| And he used these mostly physical, some verbal techniques to help me shed it. | |
| And basically it opened up a new life and new doors. | |
| And that's how I do it. | |
| And I have to work at it because these attacks are, they're really energetic attacks, right? | |
| They're trying to intimidate me. | |
| They're trying to shame me. | |
| Trying to scare me. | |
| And we're all humans, so you feel that. | |
| So I've got to work on it and I work on it every day. | |
| I spend time every day to work on it so I can show up in my fullest self and do the things that I know I'm intended to do. | |
| That's beautiful. | |
| Look, Good Ranchers is an amazing company. | |
| I eat meat almost every single night, and Good Ranchers crushes it. | |
| The unbeatable quality of Good Ranchers is something that we really need to talk about. | |
| Good Ranchers only sources the highest quality meat, the best, pasture-raised USDA prime or upper-choice beef. | |
| It's better than organic chicken, but what does that mean? | |
| That means no hormones, no antibiotics. | |
| They have prime seafood as well, caught fresh on boats and then flash-frozen to lock in the quality. | |
| Quality is in the product, but also in the process. | |
| They age each steak 21 days and you get every bite to peak tenderness. | |
| It's so delicious. | |
| It makes prep very easy. | |
| No more trimming off 20% off every meat you buy. | |
| Flash freezing and vacuum sealing locks in quality until you enjoy it. | |
| And even the breed matters. | |
| So I could tell you that Good Ranchers is going to make sure you get American meat that really is delicious. | |
| Good Ranchers has never had to do a recall. | |
| And unlike the grocery store, they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. | |
| Go to goodranchers.com/slash Charlie. | |
| That is goodranchers.com slash Charlie. | |
| Good Ranchers, American meat delivered. | |
| Lots of grocery store meat is just dairy cattle, which is far from the best, almost as low quality as you can get. | |
| So go to goodranchers.com slash Charlie. | |
| That is goodranchers.com slash Charlie. | |
| So, doctor, I got to ask you, there's a new California bill that is going to punish doctors if they question kind of the COVID narrative. | |
|
Newsom's Untrustworthy Path
00:05:11
|
|
| I don't know if you saw this bill or not. | |
| It's a new law that Gavin Newsom signed into effect. | |
| What are your thoughts or reaction to this? | |
| I was looking at that bill and I was wondering, because Newsom has, Newsom's in a funny situation because he, and by the way, he's not particularly a trustworthy individual is my perspective. | |
| But he's in a funny situation because the people he essentially oversees, if you will, the lawmakers in California, they are actually, they are willing to do things that he's unwilling to do. | |
| Yes, that's correct. | |
| They were just too far left, essentially, for him to, and really, I'm sure it has more to do with his political ambitions. | |
| Yes. | |
| And I was wondering what he would do about this bill. | |
| So I looked at the statement he put out when he signed it, and he was spinning and bending and twisting to make it appear that it was so narrowly tailored that it would be, it was fine to sign it. | |
| And oh my gosh, I think probably I haven't seen a survey of doctors, but this, it's just so stupid. | |
| There are doctors who do practice medicine in such different ways. | |
| And the thing is, it also assumes an arrogance about how much we know. | |
| There are doctors, I'll tell you, my wife, I wrote about this in the Washington Post before many years ago. | |
| My wife had severe migraines, was hospitalized multiple times when she got pregnant with our first kid. | |
| And we saw so many doctors and she was suffering so much. | |
| Emergency ambulances would come to the building in New York, take her. | |
| And we finally met a doctor named Dr. Mark Green at Mount Sinai. | |
| And Dr. Mark Green started her on a program that was not in any of the textbooks that I'd read. | |
| And I had read so much about migraines at this point. | |
| And he helped her. | |
| He helped her get on a path of recovery, which means everything to us, of course, because he saved her life. | |
| The things he did initially weren't in a textbook. | |
| So this idea that you know so much that you can identify what's quote unquote right and wrong in a way that you can put it into law, it's just so absurd and just shows unfortunately how far off the cliff these leaders in California have gone. | |
| It's a tragedy because it's a beautiful state. | |
| It really is. | |
| They're ruining it. | |
| So about 90 seconds left. | |
| Tell us about your book and how people can access it. | |
| Yeah, well, my book, yes, it talks about public health, but the most important message in my book for people who want this is to know more about how I and other people have gotten free of their stress, their anxiety, their self-doubt, their fear. | |
| And it doesn't answer that question, but it shares my own path, which again is similar to the path of many other people who've worked with this guy, Christopher Mater. | |
| So that's really the major purpose of it. | |
| And it's important because that's how all this nonsense stops. | |
| When people stop being afraid to listen to their intuition, to be aligned with what they believe is true, irrespective of what other people are shoving down their throats, all of this nonsense stops. | |
| The stupid vaccine passports, the mandates, the closing of schools, all that crap stops forever. | |
| Yeah, that's so well said. | |
| Transcend Fear is the name of the book, and you're doing a wonderful job in Florida. | |
