ExpressVPN.com Charlie Our military, as we have discussed in great detail, is currently being run by the diversity industrial complex. The diversity industrial complex is a byproduct of wokeism. I had somebody asked me, they said, charlie, how do you best explain wokeism? It's incompetence. Plus arrogance is wokeism. Victor Davis Hansen said something very similarly a couple days ago. How many Americans are still in Afghanistan? Does anybody Know how about a ballpark figure? Thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, fifteen thousand. Why are foreign nationals being given preference to come out of Kabul over Americans? Does our government feel any sort of sense of an obligation to Americans that are stuck in Kabul right now? So the diversity consultant group of Austin, Millie and Kirby, that sounds like a bad law firm, doesn't it? It sounds like a law firm that'll be come up with business cards after you trip and fall walking your dog. Hey, I work for Austin, Millie and Kirby. Have you had a negative reaction to mesothelioma lately? Call Austin, Kirby and Milley at 8522 8181. No, that's not a law firm. Those are the people that run the Pentagon and they are the diversity consultant group of the diversity industrial complex of Austin, Milley and Kirby. And they have been running this clown show over the last 10 days and it would be all fun and games and it would be worth making SNL skits about this and mocking if American lives were not in an imminent danger, if Christians were not being hunted in the streets, which they are. And our government is telling us everything is fine. Now, there was one really important back and forth where John Kirby, the Kirby in the Austin, Milley and Kirby law firm, diversity law firm, where a reporter presses him and saying, are you being deliberately vague about how many Americans are in Kabul? And this reporter, he makes a moral claim. He tells John Kirby, you do realize that the most important thing is how many Americans are in Kabul, right? And job John Kirby's like, yeah, whatever. I'm not going to tell you what that is. This reporter knows that the mission statement of the Pentagon and the Department of Defense is to look after our own citizens first, not the citizens of Afghanistan. I want you to listen to this tape carefully. This is some breaking news that just came out where John Kirby says, oh, no, no, the number is very fluid. Play cut 15. If, if you need to check the number. I mean, that's, that's the most important number here, the number of Americans. So if it's just a matter of checking the number, can you do that and give it to us or if you're being deliberately vague, tell me why you're being deliberately vague. I think I'm just going to leave it at several thousand right now, Dave. Well, then tell us why. Because I think the number is very fluid and it literally changes nearly by the hour. It's not more fluid than these. 11,000, 37,000. I'm going to leave it several thousand right now. He's the Press secretary of the Department of Defense. Yeah, it's very fluid. Like gender. Right. It could just change at any time, man to woman, cat to dog. What does he mean by it's very fluid that the number is going up and down? How's the number going up? Are people going back in? That would be the definition of fluid ever changing. Instead he should say, oh, no, no, it's decreasing. Why does he. Why is he not being specific? Oh, because our government doesn't even know. Our government doesn't know how many Americans are in Kabul. And quite honestly, it doesn't seem like they care. This weekend there was video that came out of Chuck Schumer dancing at a rap concert with Stephen Colbert. Other video came out of Nancy Pelosi in Napa Valley, maskless with her white only donors for thousands of dollars a plate, while they were being served meals by masked minority servers, whining and dining and chatting it up while Americans were basically being held hostage halfway around the world in a landlocked country being controlled by the Taliban. That's the quality of your leaders. A key characteristic of our ruling class in America is not only do they not care about you, they don't like you for Joe Biden and the people in charge, they don't lose sleep that their fellow countrymen are struggling, that they might have their heads cut off. Somebody came up to me and they said, and they were 16 years old, they said, charlie, I listened to your podcasts and I subscribed to them. And you say that America is the greatest country ever to exist. I said, that is true. He said, I believe you. He said, but I've never seen it in my lifetime. So what are you talking about? Said, all I know is hysteria around mask mandates and vaccine mandates that make no sense. All I know is that men wanted to be women. All I know is that one in five of my classmates are gay, transgender or lesbian. All I know is that I know 14 year olds that are chemically castrating themselves without telling their parents. All I know is us being humiliated on the world stage and the southern border being wide open. This American greatness that you talk about, it's nice to instill a nostalgia, but when is it actually going to come through or come to fruition? And it really hit me, and I hope that every adult and parent is listening to this, that the shock and the humiliation, the death blow to the psyche of the nation, of what happened in Kabul is something that will be felt for generations. And I want to build this out for all of you because it Was of course, a military blunder. It is still a significant risk of Americans in Kabul and our government is just kind of shrugging it off. Yeah, go figure it out. But I want to tell you what this is going to mean for how Americans view their own military and our own ability to defend themselves and use power and strength or inability to do so. This basically sends a message to the citizenry of the country. We're not a serious country. That 6th century goat herders riding in bicycles and 1970s chevrolets that were bartered into the country can take over a trillion dollars that we've spent and 300,000 Afghan soldiers without a bullet being fired. What does that do to a 16 year old who's asking himself the question, are we going to be able to take on the Chinese? What. What does that do to a citizen who is wondering, are we still a serious country? Towels just don't seem to dry you anymore. They feel soft. And some people would say they feel lotiony, if that's a word that people would use in the stores. But you get them home and they don't absorb well. Mike Lindell, great guy at MyPillow, found out that around 2006, towels changed forever. They started importing them and adding softeners and other things to the cotton that made them feel good, but they didn't work. He went on a hunt. Mike Lindell's been on a lot of different hunts lately, but this hunt is one that's pretty amazing. He found the best towel. He discovered it like El Dorado right here in America. They have an amazing technology to create towels that feel soft, but they actually work. They're all made with USA cotton and they come with the MyPillow 60 day money back guarantee. And I could tell you when I get stuff from MyPillow, there are smiles across the western horizon because people love MyPillow stuff. So go right now, go to MyPillow.com, click on the new radio listener specials promo code Kirk K I R K right now, MyPillow. Buy a bunch of stuff. The slippers, the towels, the pillows and more. MyPillow.com promo code Kirk I think it's fair to say the Taliban is an enemy of the United States, right? Well, John Kirby refuses to say so. The Pentagon, Pentagon top spokesperson declined to say whether or not America's military consider the Taliban to be an enemy of the United States. Meanwhile, they are calling the unvaccinated an enemy, of course. How dare they not take the shot? Even though White House staffers are not forced to take the shot. Jen Psaki is not forced to take the shot. Ron Klain is not forced to take the shot. But those are the enemies, of course. John Kirby refuses to say whether or not the Taliban is an enemy of the United States of America. We are living through a national trauma right now. National trauma is a concept that has been well developed in psychology and social psychology. And it really kind of takes a look at the mental toll or the psyche of a nation. Now we know how unserious of a nation we are when we see stories like this. We see stories where 23,000 students and staff in Atlanta are forced to quarantine because a couple students got the Chinese coronavirus. 23,000 students. That's not a serious nation. It's just not. But what does this mean or what does this communicate or what does this tell us about our ability to defend ourselves? Do you know what's been really interesting as I've been watching the news coverage and kind of talking to people about the Taliban taking over is that people are not worried that the Taliban is going to come to New York City anytime soon. There might be some worry that they'll come across the southern border with weapons, but instead they're disgusted that people that are that degenerate, that are that weak, could overthrow something that we did so quickly. And I don't think we even understand the significance or the damage that this has done to teenagers right now that have never seen the great country that they sometimes hear whispers about. They're not taught about it in schools, by the way. Of course not. Why would they be taught about school that about in schools. But now when they are going to start to see the saber rattling from China, they're going to think, do we even have the ability to do that? They now are going to think of the image of the Taliban taking over the entire capital around the table, staring into the camera and taunting the Americans. And how do Americans respond? Well, new reports out today show that we are now negotiating with the Taliban, asking them for help and support to try to get Americans out. The Taliban in fact, has come out. The goat herding perverts from the 6th century. They have said that Biden's August 31st withdrawal date is a red line. You hear that? They are drawing red lines. They are calling the shots. Meanwhile, if you look at many Democrat commentators, they have pictures of the Taliban that say their Taliban and they have pictures of Trump supporters that say our Taliban. That's how Democrats view you. They view you as The Taliban. Michael Moore has said this, by the way. Michael Moore is not a very serious person, but he is influential. A lot of followers. They will use military assets they already are against American citizens very soon. The story breaking today, as I mentioned, is that the Taliban has told America that if they don't get out of the country by August 31st, there will be consequences. Cut 22. Stephen Colbert calls Trump voters the Taliban. He says, why should our soldiers be fighting radicals in a civil war in Afghanistan? We've got our own on Capitol Hill play. Cut 22. We've had troops there for 20 years. They fought, they sacrificed, their families sacrificed so that we wouldn't have a terrorist attack in America planned in a foreign country. Why should our soldiers be fighting radicals in a civil war in Afghanistan? We've got our own on Capitol Hill. And everyone applauds. Meanwhile, the former head of the NSA, ex CIA director, he ran the NSA from 2006. 2009, General Michael Hayden, he called Trump supporters Islamic militants and said on Twitter that he would support sending Trump supporters to Afghanistan to meet their fate. Those are people that still get intelligence briefings. The US national debt is expected to approach $89 trillion by 2029. Real inflation rate is estimated to be upwards of 10%. We are going backwards and soon enough. The $1 million you have tucked away for your retirement might not even last you a year because debt is now growing faster than the economy and the administration in Washington proposes another $6 trillion in spending. The situation isn't likely to improve anytime soon. Uncertainty is back. Or did it ever really leave? I trust our friends at Noble Gold Investments. They can help you make the right play. Download a free Gold Investment guide@noblegoldinvestments.com the FDA has come out with the predictable approval of the Pfizer vaccine today. And someone said, well, they asked Charlie, why the Pfizer one first? Well, follow the money. And we were one of the first shows to report the obvious, which is that Scott Gottlieb, he's a former Pfizer executive and he ran the Food and Drug Administration. So he ran the fda. Then he goes and works for Pfizer and then Pfizer gets approved. Now, Pfizer, according to axios, has a 42% efficacy rate in the month of July. How could they approve that? Well, if you actually go into the specifics on the CDC's own website on theclinicaltrials.gov the study of Pfizer's jabs safety and efficacy is not expected to be complete. Until May of 2023. That's the CDC's own website. We'll put this on CharlieKirk.com that it's still going to take a couple years to go through it, that this is still phase one, two and three of randomized placebo, controlled observer blind dose finding trials. How long do you think vaccines usually take to get approved? Well, if you go to historyofvaccines.org, the typical process for vaccine approval is 10 to 15 years, not 10 to 15 months. The FDA, we were told, was trying to fast track this vaccine because they wanted to now force mandates. And we're now being strong armed into lockdowns and changing our life because we do not want to take a specific form of medicine that might not even work. By the way, breaking over the weekend, racist antisemite Jesse Jackson and his wife, fully vaccinated, by the way, have both been hospitalized. Why are they pushing a vaccine with COVID 19, by the way, why are they pushing a vaccine where people are getting hospitalized with the virus that the vaccine is supposed to prevent? And I will tell you anecdotally of someone close to us here on the Charlie Kirk Show. 280 somethings that we know got the Chinese coronavirus. They took a steady regimen of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine despite massive comorbidities, including COPD and a heart transplant, and they recovered. Do you hear stories like that? Did you know that your own government just issued another guidance telling you don't take ivermectin? I could tell you firsthand experience, at least anecdotally, not as a doctor, that there were some positives that came out of that and people are alive today because of it. So the FDA has now approved a piece of medicine that According to Axios, Axios.com is 42% effective. We heavily publicized the story that Jen Psaki in the White House that the Biden regime is not requiring the vaccine for White House staff or workers in the White House. If you're a Marine, you have to get the vaccine or you'll be dishonorably discharged. If you're a teacher, you have to get the vaccine. You work in a nursing home, you have to get a vaccine. And yet the White House has come out and said, and we have this story on charlie kirk.com Jen Psaki says no, we had the freedom of choice in the White House. Your own rulers want to be able to opt out of the vaccine. Maybe they hear stories like this one where Andrew's close Relative died from a massive heart attack just a few weeks after getting the moderna shot. By the way, we have thousands and thousands of emails and stories that say just that the media doesn't care. Obviously the activist press has no interest in looking into this. Here's Jen Psaki. Psaki saying, no, no, no, we don't mandate it here at the White House. I mean, we're in charge. It's not like we're the unwashed citizens, we're the rulers. Hello, I'm in charge. I'm important. It's not like I have to live by the decrees that we administer. Like, who do you, who do you think you are? Who? I. I'm Jen Psaki. Don't you know who I am? Play cut 25. So can you clarify, is the administration not mandating vaccines for White House staff? No, we have not mandated. And do you have a count offer any confirmation to us? I. The percentage of employees who are vaccinated. I'm not going to provide that. I will see if there's more information to provide. I'm not going to provide that. And we're not mandating it. That's your government. That is the head of the executive branch spokesperson. The spokesperson of the head of the executive branch of government. We're not going to mandate it, but in the military, we will dishonorably discharge you if you get it. Thousands of young people across the country as part of Turning Point usa who are largely abandoned by adults in charge, have lost their livelihoods and are not able to go to college this semester. They should have just went to go work in the Biden White House. You need to get a vaccine passport to go to a restaurant in New York City. You don't need a vaccine passport to go into the White House. Who in the White House is not vaccinated? You see, if we had a real press, they would have an entire investigative arm over the weekend. We would know every single person who is in who is vaccinated and not vaccinated right now in the White House, people would be leaking and tattling on each other. Is Jen Psaki vaccinated? Jen Psaki, I think, is a mother. Maybe she doesn't want to get vaccinated. Does Jen Psaki know something about it? If Trump was still in the White House, there'd be an unvaccinated list, it would be published and it would be trending on Twitter. How is this not met with massive outrage by the vaccine mandators themselves? What is Bill de Blasio's opinion of this. He's a big vaccine mandator. Does he know the White House isn't mandating it? Does Bill de Blasio mandate it for his staff in the New York City mayor's office? Meanwhile, the former head of the nsa, Michael Hayden, says we need to send the unvaxed back to Afghanistan. That's the former head of the nsa. You have rulers that are bragging and saying out loud that they don't live under the same rules as you. Jen Psaki will still have a job regardless if she's vaccinated or not. She will still have a job whether or not there's a mandate. But most of you listening right now are have to make the decision between feeding your family and standing for truth. If rulers can live under a different set of rules than the ruled, then the republic as we know it is over. Rulers must suffer the consequences of alongside the people they are tasked with governing. One of the great examples of this was how Congress for years was able to declare war without having a vested interest in the wars that they were declaring. There was a bill that was proposed 20 years ago saying that if Congress had to send their own children to war, would they be so quick to declare these wars? Living above or outside of the law against what you say and doing something totally different is a characteristic of an oligarchy. It is not a characteristic of a republic. Benjamin Franklin famously said after the Constitutional Convention, when he was asked what type of government we have, he said, a republic, if you can keep it. The fact that rulers and people in charge think that they can carve out exemptions that you don't have to also live by is actually a defining characteristic of the Democrat Party. They're okay having armed security, but they want to take your guns. They're okay sending their children to private school, but they don't want you to be able to have school choice or charter schools. They're okay living in Beverly Hills in gated communities, but they don't want to have security on the southern border. They say that environmental, that the environment is the greatest existential threat to our existence. Yet they buy beachfront waterfront properties in Martha's Vineyard when they themselves know that's not actually the case. They say that carbon emissions are what's going to usher in the end of humanity. Yet John Kerry flies around on a sovereign citation gladly and willingly with his wife's money that he married into from the Heinz fortune. We always say that if the left didn't have double standards, they have no standards at all. But this example is brutally real to so many people. Yeah, it's one thing that black children can't read, but white liberal children get to go to good schools. It's one thing that black children get shot on the way to school and white liberal children get chauffeured. It's one thing that white liberal children get to go fly private to Aspen, but black children can't even walk across the street. But now this is a new threshold of arrogance of a Biden regime that has so arrogantly and ignorantly been telling you to take a vaccine against your will when they won't even do it with the people around them. This is the sort of behavior that the French Revolution was created to reject. And I'm not recommending revolutions. Okay, I'm just going to be very clear, that is not what I'm saying. What I am saying though, so you wonder why the ruling class is hated by so many people. It's because I can tell you right now, in fact, we will be joined by this. She lost her swimming scholarship at a polytechnical school in California. Lost her whole livelihood because she wouldn't take the vaccine. But Jen Psaki, she has the freedom to choose and your children don't. I often talk about the crushing debt and lack of jobs that come with the broken college system in our country and how entering a trade or vocational school can provide great career opportunities where you are and skills will always be in demand. I want to talk to you about a good friend of mine, a great American who runs an organization called the American Institute of Non Destructive Testing. Maybe you're looking for a career. Maybe you just graduated high school. Maybe you are not really sure what you want to do with your life. Well, the American Institute of Non Destructive Testing is a place where you can get a skill in six months. And 93% of the people that go through this training get jobs with wages of $50,000 and can earn to 70 or $80,000 a year. And you might say, what is it? Well, it's trainingndt.com that's trainingndt.com to learn how you can have an opportunity to work in industries such as aerospace, oil, gas, nuclear and alternative energy as a technician performing critical inspections for that make our world a safer place. So non destructive testing is where you are inspecting America's critical infrastructure. Let me tell you why this is important. It's recession proof. Even if the economy goes down, things we already have need to get inspected. Critical infrastructure needs to be looked at. Rocket ships need to be looked at. Nuclear plants need to be looked at. And guess what? The people going into non destructive testing needs to go up because so many people are retiring. There's a huge opportunity out there for you. Their program consists of six months online education followed by three weeks at the American Institute campus using state of the art inspection equipment such as ultrasonics, capturing X rays and producing magnetic fields to inspect critical components to ensure their safety and reliability. I want you to know that Don Booth, the CEO, is a patriot and his whole team cares about the future of, of every single graduate. So if you guys are looking for a job, looking for a career, looking for the next thing to do in life, or maybe you're 40 or 50 years old, you're like, man, I want a fresh start. Go to trainingndt.com and learn about this exciting and rewarding career. We here on the Charlie Kirk show want to give the muscular class a voice. 93% job placement. Pretty amazing. No college can tell you that. 93% job placement. Working with your hands. Maybe an aerospace, oil, gas, nuclear or alternative energy. Go to trainingndt.com and learn about this exciting and rewarding career. I guess it's a little while ago, but Jen Pysocki gets this Vogue interview which of course they never call, you know, they never covered Melania Trump. And in a competition of who's more photogenic of Jen Psaki versus Melania Trump, I think that was what we would call, to use a enlightenment term that found its way into, into our founding documents. Self evidence, if you can't figure that one out. We got deeper issues. Living above the law or living outside of the law or just thinking that you're immune to the consequences of the orders that you issue to the population. That's what makes the third world the third world. That's why in Brazil you can't drive the streets in some neighborhoods in some portions in Brazil without armed guards and bulletproof cars. The type of society that they want to create is exactly the type of society that you saw in that short video of Nancy Pelosi and Napa Valley. Napa Valley, which is some of the most expensive real estate on the planet. Of Nancy Pelosi with her all white fellow donors being served by Hispanic and black waiters wearing masks. And Nancy Pelosi is maskless. That's the type of society she wants. She wants to be waited on in a protected high income environment in Napa Valley. That's what Aspen has become. If anyone's visited Aspen lately, you have the ruling class on Red Mountain and you have the ruled in downtown Aspen or They live further down the road because they can't even afford the rent in downtown Aspen. You see, the Democrats use the promise of egalitarianism and the Marxist dogma to get political power when they, when in reality they really just want to create a corporate oligarchy. They want to create a permanent ruling elite that has more power than ever before over you. And you know that this Delta variant is nowhere near the danger level that they say it is because in every moment that we're able to capture them privately, they're not wearing masks and they're associating with others. If they don't take it seriously, then what is the motive behind that? What is the motive behind all these mandates? It's so obvious. The motivation is that they have realized that the crisis industry of having you live in perpetual turmoil and confusion and chaos and cloudiness gives them a mandate to be able to remake America in an image that they could have only dreamed of. The Obama party is exactly the same thing that happened in Martha's Vineyard where the Obama people were mat were maskless. They were partying it up. But we were told it was a sophisticated and vaccinated crowd. Everybody. And the Obama people partying in Martha's Vineyard ended up contributing significantly to a super spreader in the on the island of Martha's Vineyard. This is the difference between citizens and subjects. Citizens are co rulers, subjects are ruled. We have a beautiful system that was designed by our founding fathers and it falls apart when the people who have political power, they get to pass laws for you and not for them. We saw this trend with Obamacare where members of Congress were able to be exempt from Obamacare. We saw this trend with insider trading. By the way, Pfizer and bio and tech stock has gone up significantly if we had a real media. So we'll just do it here on the Charlie Kirk show and you guys support us. You guys are helping our own investigative team doing this. We're going to go look through the insider, the congressional trading disclosures. I want to find out what members of Congress bought Pfizer stock in the last couple weeks. That would be insider trading. If you bought Pfizer stock knowing that there was going to be an FDA approval, that would not be, that would not be ethical, but they do it anyway. Just how Nancy Pelosi's husband bought millions of dollars in Tesla stock right before an infrastructure bill gets passed that's all about green energy and electric vehicle stations. It's funny how that works. Thanks so much for listening everybody. Email us your thoughts freedomarliekirk.com and if you want to support our program, go to Charlie.

Episode Title: The Pfizer Jab Gets FDA Approval—More Mandates Are Coming
Host: Charlie Kirk
Date: August 23, 2021
In this episode, Charlie Kirk analyzes two key issues dominating the news: the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan and the FDA’s recent full approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Kirk links both events to broader themes of government hypocrisy, erosion of public trust, and a growing disconnect between America's ruling class and ordinary citizens. He scrutinizes the push for vaccine mandates in contrast to elites exempting themselves from their own rules, and explores the psychological and civic consequences of recent events. As always, Kirk's tone is unapologetically conservative, combative, and critical of "wokeism" and perceived double standards of political elites.
Charlie Kirk employs a sardonic, polemical style, using sarcasm, analogies, and humor to challenge mainstream narratives, highlight perceived double standards, and rally his conservative audience. He pivots between political analysis and anecdotal commentary, often referencing historical and philosophical ideas in an accessible, combative manner.
This episode typifies Kirk’s brand: an intense critique of progressive politics, centralized power, government overreach, and what he sees as the erosion of American freedom and values. If you want a window into conservative grassroots frustration in 2021—and why issues of trust and fairness in authority resonate with many—this episode delivers.
