BEN DOMENECH (HOST): Liz, it seems to me that one of the things that we didn't really wake up to early enough about the approach the left was using during this was that they would try to exploit this pandemic in ways that would advance their own policy agenda, achieve their broader aims. Do you think that that's proven to be the case now? 

LIZ WHEELER (GUEST): Well, certainly. I mean, COVID hasn't been about the COVID-19 virus for a long time, if it ever was. COVID-19, now, is about Marxism. This is the broader purpose of the left. And you can see this. Everything that you mentioned in your monologue, the destruction of the family, the destruction of community, the violation of religious liberty, these are -- these are tenets of Marxism.

And -- and, as Carol said, our leaders, our politicians don't believe what they're saying. Nancy Pelosi's not wearing a mask anymore. The CDC, when responding to a FOIA request about randomized controlled clinical trials of masks against COVID, they actually answered, there are none that we know of. They are forcing us to do these things -- masks is a good example here, especially with children, especially in schools -- when they know that it's a farce, they know it's a falsity. They know that unvaccinated children have the same likelihood of dying from COVID-19 as a vaccinated 30-year-old. So they're using masks to deprive parents of their parental rights and to -- and to mandate conformity with what they know will ultimately help them achieve their political goals.
