The Charlie Kirk Show - From the Archive: A Regime of Anthony Faucis: Our Illegitimate Expert Class

Episode Date: September 26, 2026

Anthony Fauci is the icon of our Covid-era misrule, but there was nothing special about him. In his speech to the Sun Valley Policy Forum, Charlie lays out how Fauci is merely the most famous out of thousands of tyrant bureaucrats who feel they have the God-given (or Devil-granted) right to control everyone's lives.

My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You've got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a turning point USA college chapter. Go start a turning point you would say high school chapter.

Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody. Here we go.

It's great to be here. I love Idaho. And I've wanted to come to Sun Valley for quite some time. And it's great to be here. And largely, because I always watch it from the news, because I think the downfall of Western civilization is planned down the street. No, I'm half kidding. You got a lot of it.

lot of characters that visit here every so often, but went on a great hike today. Thank you those you that went to the radio program earlier. It was a lot of fun and super warmly received. I want to spend the most time on your questions and also the fireside chat, but there's one thing I want to make sure I emphasize here tonight. There's just one thing that you remember from my message. It's the following. It's that the people who are destroying the country, they are not making a series of mistakes, they're doing so intentionally. And I said this previously at lunch. And this is what we call the great divide right now between how you analyze what's happening in the country. If you are to believe that the current ruling class or regime are making a bunch

of mistakes, then you have to tell me that keeping a border completely wide open and spending trillions of dollars that we do not have, sending billions of dollars overseas unnecessarily the destruction of the American dollar, allowing men and female sports, so on and so forth, reversing Title IX, that this is just a bunch of people I don't know what they're doing. And they know exactly what they're doing. And I think it's important for us to go back into a period of time. And I understand why people are reluctant to talk the way I talk about this, because you have to then acknowledge and admit that you are now a stranger in your own country.

and that is not a really comforting thing to hear that the people that are in charge don't share the core American values or principles. Let me be clear. I travel the country, I go to college campuses. The American people still share the American core values and principles, but the people in charge do not.

So in the 1970s, 1980s, there was a paper that was written. Everyone should know about it. It's called the Clowered Piven Strategy. It was two political scientists, and they were communists, outward Marxist and communists, and they wanted to destroy America. wanted to turn it into something different. They hated free market capitalism. They did not like

private property rights. And they said the way that America will be destroyed, and this is called the Clowered Piven Strategy, will be three things. Step one, have America borrow so much money and spend so much money that the American dollar is totally worthless, that the dollar means nothing, and we engage in unprecedented inflation. Step two, build a deep state bureaucracy or an administrative state that swallows the private sector and the power and the influence in society is not found in entrepreneurs or risk takers, but instead it's found in experts, as Scott Rasmussen said earlier, a council of an expert class that will rule over the American people. Step three, open up the borders and invite the third world and overwhelm schools, overwhelm the hospitals, overwhelm your

public infrastructure, and confuse citizen from foreigner because then citizen means nothing. they wrote in great detail exactly what we are living through right now. And you could look at it up, people all the time to say, Charlie, there's no way that are people in charge. How could they be this sinister? And I'm actually uniquely qualified

to answer that question. Because I visit college campuses so you don't have to. And since I visit college campuses so you don't have to, I see what is coming next. And so I'm able to go to events like this and I've been doing this for the last 12 years

and warn people, hey, there's some really radical stuff coming, and you should probably be worried about what's happening on these university campuses. We'll talk about this, I'm sure, in the fireside chat, I believe that 95%, probably 99% of universities are completely lost and will never be saved. Those institutions, they should be metaphorically burned to the ground, well, and some of them should actually be burned to the ground. And by the way, the fact that that's not being met by applause by many of you, because that's a shocking statement.

But it's absolutely true. Those Hamas protests that you saw, they are not an exception. It is the rule of the ideological cancer that our campuses have become. And so when I go to these college campuses, and I have a chance to debate with professors understand, it's all makes sense. The bitterness that they have towards Western civilization and towards America is so evident.

And it is rooted in a couple different perspectives. The first of which is they believe that America from its founding was an unjust experiment. This is why the 1619 project was not some inconsequential textbook. They believe that America was racist from its founding, colonialist. It has always been terrible and will always be terrible because we believe in things such as the individual succeeding. We believe in the nuclear family. We believe that there is a God and we are not him. These are all at odds with secular Marxism that you'll find in the academy. me. Gentlemen, let's get real for a second.

And the orthodoxy amongst those who are in charge of society is they have contempt for the country that they are running. And that is exactly what you're seeing happen with the

Biden regime. And I use that term intentionally regime. If he's not running the country, we know that, okay, let's get over ourselves, whatever drugs they put in him on Thursday, right? That'll be, okay, if he gets to that debate, it'll be one of the greatest accomplishments in American chemistry ever. I want to meet that guy. Nobel Prize right there telling you. So let's not fool ourselves, okay? That's a side show. There is a group of people who call themselves experts

who have unjust authority over our life and the direction of our civilization. And a brief sidestep here, a perfect example of that is Anthony Fauci. If you want a living example, your government has 5,000 Anthony Fauci's. You think there's only one of them? No, there's Anthony Fauci at the FBI

at the Department of Justice. Now, what do I mean by that? People that have no wisdom, lots of credentials, who have failed upwards for 40 years. How about we, the American people, get an apology from Anthony Fauci? I don't know for ruining young people's lies for two years.

But we won't. Because an apology means that you did something wrong. And the expert class will never acknowledge say that anything wrong, ever. It's just full, blunt, brute force against the American people. So you look at the clowered-piven strategy and what we're living through right now. The status quo, and I read about this in my upcoming book, which I call right-wing revolution, which I'll tell you why I pick that title. It's very understated, obviously.

And I'll tell you why, because I choose my words very carefully, is that we have lived through a cultural Marxist, slow but steady revolution that has lasted 50 years. And again, that is a hard truth to swallow. Because in order to swallow that truth, we must all acknowledge and admit that we were not taking this as seriously

as we should have 30 years ago, 20 years ago, 10 years ago. And honestly, it's because we were prioritizing things that matter more than politics. You were raising your kids. You were building your churches, building your businesses, taking care of your neighbors. And as America has become more secular, so not religious,

people need to fill that void, and politics is the perfect substitute religion for a secular society. It gives people meaning, it gives them purpose, it gives them community. So as America has become less focused on a belief in a central belief in God, then politics becomes, infinitely more important. And so the question in front of us, which we'll explore tonight, is then

how do you then defeat a regime that seems to control almost every institution, and they don't even care about the nation that they are stewarding? And I hope you understand, you know, there's so much negativity in our textbooks, which is not warranted about Rockefeller and Carnegie and J.P. Morgan and the robber barons of the early 20th century. Yes, okay, some of them could obviously acted better, but we all know those titans of industry. What did Rockefeller and Carnegie do with their money? They gave it back to the country. Rockerfeller donated land and we have Acadia National Park in Maine because of him. We have parts of Grand Teton and Yellowstone because of him. We have universities thanks to Carnegie Mellon, thanks to Andrew Carnegie. So then you then ask,

well, what is our current ruling class spending money on Elon Musk aside? They spend money to then incinerate the very country that they have everything over. And there really is no other explanation that you are being driven by a wicked ideology at that point. It's not about making the world a better place. That's the story they tell themselves. Obviously, oh, we're trying to fight climate change. They don't believe in that, obviously. If they were trying to climate change, they'd sell all their homes in Martha's Vineyard immediately. Of course not. They don't believe it. They're walking contradictions. No, it's about power for power's sake. If you're looking at your investment portfolio and feeling pretty smart right now, remember, a bull market can make anyone look like a genius.

If you've had a good run, the question is whether you keep it. The people who act early do it from a position of strength. The ones who wait act out of fear. There's nothing worse than turning a great trade into a break-even because you didn't act in time. Taking chips off the table isn't quitting. It's protecting what you've earned.

And so how do you defeat that? Well, we'll talk about that in a second of the fire site chat. And I lay this out in the book because it's time now for a revolution against the counter-revolution. and against as a counter-revolution. And it is, our ask is very simple, which is that we want what used to be considered, non-controversial, to be reinstituted. We want a border.

We want men to no longer be able to go in female locker rooms in over 20 states across the country. We say that children should be off limits from medical mutilation. That they call trans-affirming care, which is happening all across the country. and we also believe very simply that the American dollar should not be intentionally eroded time and time again through deficit spending sprees in Washington, D.C., just very simple and basic stuff. But it's going to require, and that's what I'm trying to do at turning point every single day, there is one thing left that they do not control. They control the FBI, Department of Justice, Google, Goldman Sachs. They do not control the American people, and it terrifies them. on a daily basis, their obsession, they say their obsession is Donald Trump.

Eh, wrong. I could tell you why. They will make excuses for everyone of their politicians for the very same behavior that Donald Trump makes. It's not about Trump. It's about the beast that Donald Trump awoke. And it's you, the American people. It's that you are in the room now. And you're not supposed to.

Because understand, and Scott Rice-Buson said it perfectly in my show earlier, perfectly. He said, they believe in the politics of administration. the politics of the experts, Anthony Fauci sitting in a room deciding whether or not your senior in high school gets to go to prom. That some guy in D.C. gets to make the decision that you have to go wear a cloth mask when you're hiking alone on a trail. And what's not supposed to happen is in this new era of the governance of the experts is the deplorable people are not a lot of.

allowed a seat at the table. They're not allowed input. And that is truly what we are now debating as a country. And it's so much bigger than Trump versus Biden. And I'm telling anyone who will listen, what's it actually? We are now debating what is the form and the structure of the very government we are going to have for the next hundred years. Is the form or the structure going to be one of an oligarchy where you have two parties that pretend to fight each other all the time? But they agree on the big stuff. Like they agree on borrowing money and keeping the borders open. They agree on sending money to Ukraine. They agree on the big stuff and they'll disagree on like the little stuff. But the country still continues to fall apart where you have a politics of administration

or the administration of politics where you are immediately considered a smarter person because you went to Harvard. And you might have a lot of knowledge or have a lot of intelligence. You have no wisdom if you went to Harvard. None. These are people that believe men give birth, not an exaggeration. By the way, just so you were clear, almost every college teaches men give birth today in America. So if you're sending your grandkid to college, that is doctrinaire mainstream curriculum. And I'm a transphobe for saying that men don't give birth. So these people have no wisdom, but they have unbelievable ferocity to take over the country. And so the hope lies in the everyday American.

And they are very worried, they being the oligarchy in the ruling class, and to give them name. It's Soros. It's Susan Rice. It's John Podesta. It's Hillary Clinton. It's Chuck Schumer. It's Nancy Pelosi. It's Mark Zuckerberg. It's Bill Gates. It's, you know, some of the folks that come near here. They, they are annoyed about we the people. 2024 is very simple. It's, do you want to be governed by we the people or we the experts? It's that simple. And it should be we the people. That is our birthright, by the way. This election is about a restoration or an elimination of our birthright. Because oligarchies, that's a really, really bad way to run a country. And to be honest, like, I'm at a fence some people, you are all going to get really rich if the

oligarchy continues. A lot of people in this room. This will not impact you, but your kids will not have a country. And I hear it all the time. People, like literally the other day, well, Charlie, my stocks have done really well under Biden and, you know, my 401k and, you know, my asset prices are higher. I was like, okay, that is an unbelievably self-centered way of looking. at the world. Like, okay, great, yes, when you print more money and you deploy more liquidity in the system, if you own homes, that value will artificially get higher because there's less goods, there's more dollar bills chasing less goods. But what country are you going to have a house in, exactly? Or how about, do you think that your grandkids will be raised in the same nation that

you were? Of course not. And so the question in front of us is, do we think the American people combined through a constitutional republic system have the wisdom, to properly govern and steer us through this unknown chapter or period, or we finally say the Constitution was a bad idea, we are going to give all of our power to a bunch of PhDs from Yale. That's the question in front of us. For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to charliecirk.com.
