00:00:00.000 This is the Drag to Kids to Pride event.
00:00:02.000 Organizers promoted it as a family-friendly drag show.
00:00:05.000 It's glitter, it's fun, and it's a show.
00:00:08.000 It's all for a great cause.
00:00:09.000 It's a G-rated drag show. 0.96
00:00:10.000 Coming out of the closet means when you tell everybody that you're gay. 0.97
00:00:15.000 It's something that gay people have to do. 0.99
00:00:17.000 You're one of the youngest and first drag queens slash kids. 1.00
00:00:25.000 It's come to a world where drag kids actually exist. 1.00
00:00:28.000 And people do ketamine on the couch.
00:00:29.000 And they all go marching in the big parade.
00:00:37.000 What's that?
00:00:40.000 about the kids being in there.
00:00:42.000 What's that?
00:00:43.000 I was talking to the owner's wife and she said explicitly that there are children in there.
00:00:50.000 They've given everybody a wristband for under 21 and over 21.
00:00:57.000 Uh-huh.
00:00:58.000 Drag shows that brand themselves as child-friendly or all ages welcome have been popping up
00:01:03.000 across the country from Palm Springs to Dallas.
00:01:06.000 So, we all know it was only a matter of time before one showed up in Suburbia, USA.
00:01:11.000 And that's exactly what happened this past weekend in Roanoke, Texas.
00:01:16.000 Newly-opened Anderson Distillery and Grill decided to get in on this underage action and host their own child-friendly, that's the key word here, child-friendly drag show on Sunday, August 28th.
00:01:26.000 Of course, this raised some concerns online, especially in the conservative-minded Roanoke, I mean closed-minded Cretans, so the owner took to Facebook in advance to assure everyone that the drag performances would be positively PG, John Hughes-esque.
00:01:42.000 Now, of course, while I had absolutely zero reason to not believe this drag show would be PG as advertised, as a reputable journalistic outfit, I wanted to make sure that I and my team was doing all of our due diligence.
00:01:54.000 So I sent them out undercover as specialists to get the not-so-skinny on the drag show and see exactly how kid-friendly it was.
00:02:02.000 Pretty big crowd over here.
00:02:03.000 My team's findings were, well, uh, just watch.
00:02:08.000 How are y'all doing?
00:02:10.000 How's it going?
00:02:11.000 Doing alright.
00:02:13.000 Kyle, it's going to be a busy day.
00:02:15.000 You guys got your own personal security.
00:02:19.000 Surprisingly, the first thing that greeted my team outside of the distillery, sorry, child-friendly distillery, that was hosting the drag show was the overabundance of strapped-to-the-gills Black Block and Antifa members surrounding said establishment.
00:02:32.000 Nothing says child-friendly like people decked out in tactical gear and pride flags.
00:02:37.000 But my team needn't worry.
00:02:39.000 FBI Director Christopher Wray assured us that Antifa is not a group.
00:02:42.000 It's nothing more than an ideology.
00:02:44.000 We look at Antifa as more of an ideology or a movement than an organization.
00:02:51.000 Y'all doing alright?
00:02:54.000 I'm not trying to start anything.
00:02:55.000 We just want to see what's going on, what brought you out.
00:03:00.000 It seems that we're not being welcomed into here.
00:03:03.000 We're not trying to start stuff.
00:03:05.000 Say, that seems like a pretty organized ideology.
00:03:08.000 After all, though, it's hard to believe that 30 individuals showed up to the same event dressed in the same clothes and all following the exact same blueprint. 0.70
00:03:17.000 Only thing missing is the gay gang signs. 0.99
00:03:20.000 Okay, well, you're free to protest as America, so please continue to do so. 0.53
00:03:25.000 I cannot get a response from anybody.
00:03:27.000 I don't know, we're just trying to talk to people, but it seems that none of them want to talk.
00:03:34.000 You can look at here, I'll give you the website.
00:03:37.000 What is it?
00:03:38.000 UNTblogs.art.blog.
00:03:39.000 UNTblogs.art.blog?
00:03:40.000 Yeah.
00:03:41.000 Blogs.art.blog?
00:03:42.000 Yes.
00:03:43.000 Oh, there you go.
00:03:44.000 There you go.
00:03:48.000 Alright, now in the spirit of balance, I would be remiss if I didn't point out the counter protesters who also looked extremely intimidating.
00:03:57.000 What's going on here?
00:03:58.000 Get her over there. 1.00
00:04:06.000 She needs to go over there. 1.00
00:04:07.000 Get this, yeah.
00:04:08.000 She needs to get on their side.
00:04:10.000 What are the rules with the protest just so we're clear on everything?
00:04:17.000 I mean Everybody stay on their side.
00:04:20.000 And so far, it's been good.
00:04:23.000 As long as they stay there, they stay there, that's fine.
00:04:26.000 Are those actual weapons they have strapped on?
00:04:29.000 Yeah, they look real.
00:04:31.000 It's legal to have.
00:04:32.000 It is Texas.
00:04:33.000 The only time we've had issues today is when people migrate over to one side.
00:04:39.000 Yeah.
00:04:40.000 So he's basically saying just every side needs to stay on their side.
00:04:43.000 I know that's probably not actually what the legality of the Constitution says, but it probably makes the most sense for what's going on.
00:04:49.000 We have some people trying to start stuff.
00:04:52.000 The cops rolled through, the cops rolled out.
00:04:54.000 I don't know.
00:04:54.000 We'll be here.
00:04:55.000 Let's hope nothing pops off too much.
00:04:57.000 I went over there to talk to somebody I knew, right?
00:04:59.000 Put your hands up!
00:05:01.000 And all of a sudden I get like seven or eight of them come up to me, seven or eight of them come up to me, get off of this property.
00:05:07.000 Every day we should wake up and say, how can we make our country better?
00:05:15.000 My whole thought process is, let me have freedom of my speech too.
00:05:19.000 You know, if somebody wants to change my ways, I'll listen to anybody, but you know what?
00:05:23.000 Show me the respect to listen to my opinion.
00:05:25.000 This is, okay, you know what?
00:05:26.000 I don't have a problem with it, but all this is right here, They're just trying to get a TikTok view.
00:05:31.000 Because I've been praying to a god of miracles.
00:05:32.000 It takes a miracle to change a heart. 1.00
00:05:34.000 Your people are crazy. 1.00
00:05:35.000 Don't want to kill us all. 1.00
00:05:37.000 So... No, you do.
00:05:38.000 You do.
00:05:39.000 All I can do is pray.
00:05:40.000 What did you come out to do?
00:05:41.000 To talk to people. 1.00
00:05:42.000 F*** off! 1.00
00:05:43.000 I hope you... F*** off! 1.00
00:05:44.000 Alright, yeah. 1.00
00:05:44.000 F*** off! 1.00
00:05:46.000 Get the f*** out of here before we f*** you up! 1.00
00:05:49.000 What? 1.00
00:05:50.000 What are they cheering for?
00:05:51.000 I don't know.
00:05:51.000 They're cheering for the drag queen.
00:05:55.000 Stop! 1.00
00:05:55.000 How do you even do this? 1.00
00:05:57.000 At least if it's just water.
00:05:58.000 Support our people.
00:05:58.000 It's fine, it's fine.
00:05:59.000 What brings you all out here today?
00:06:01.000 Support our people.
00:06:02.000 Who's your people?
00:06:03.000 We don't know.
00:06:04.000 Q Plus.
00:06:05.000 Okay, what is happening in here?
00:06:06.000 Why are there Antifa, I assume Antifa protesters with guns and anti-protesters, counter-protesters
00:06:12.000 over there.
00:06:13.000 Why? 0.87
00:06:15.000 And the man who owns this distillery, his son, is a drag queen. 1.00
00:06:20.000 You want to be gay? 1.00
00:06:20.000 You want to be a drag queen? 1.00
00:06:22.000 Go for it.
00:06:22.000 You're not hurt.
00:06:23.000 Adults.
00:06:23.000 But don't involve a little 8-year-old girl.
00:06:26.000 You tell Suzy, who's 11, Suzy, you need a double bisectomy because you really want to be a boy.
00:06:31.000 Suzy doesn't know if she wants to be a boy or not yet.
00:06:33.000 Puberty bloggers.
00:06:34.000 She probably didn't know what she wanted to be for breakfast. 0.97
00:06:37.000 What we're hearing from over there is the child angle.
00:06:39.000 They're saying this is a sexualization of minors, opening up children to things that they should not be seeing.
00:06:45.000 I think they just don't know the full story because this is not about children.
00:06:49.000 This is not about opening their eyes to this and making them see this.
00:06:52.000 It's about support for his family.
00:06:54.000 Really?
00:06:55.000 Is that really what's happening inside, though?
00:06:58.000 And I teach middle school, so, like, it's important for my kids to know.
00:07:02.000 No, I love you, because tomorrow you love him, and then you love her, and you're gonna love a tree the next day.
00:07:11.000 How old are your kids, like?
00:07:14.000 Oh, my God.
00:07:14.000 I fought in the Army for 23 years, 60 points, so that y'all can do what you do and I can do, but don't involve children is all I'm saying.
00:07:20.000 Just keep the children out of it.
00:07:21.000 Are there children in there?
00:07:22.000 I haven't been in there.
00:07:23.000 I do not think so.
00:07:24.000 If there are, they're with their families, and they're just enjoying a great time.
00:07:33.000 Thank you.
00:07:39.000 OK, so your answer is ...
00:07:47.000 I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:07:49.000 I'm so innocent.
00:07:51.000 Clearly, it's fun for the whole family.
00:07:53.000 Approved for all ages.
00:07:55.000 Are there children inside?
00:07:56.000 Yeah, there's three or four of them.
00:07:58.000 But these girls are all fully clothed. 1.00
00:07:59.000 This is a PG performance.
00:08:01.000 Like, it's family-friendly.
00:08:05.000 I mean, I think it's just a lifestyle. 1.00
00:08:07.000 Well, crap. 0.99
00:08:08.000 It's almost as if sexualization is the entire goal. 0.99
00:08:11.000 Again, good, wholesome, family-friendly fun.
00:08:14.000 Here's what NIDA Montana tweeted out just two days after the event.
00:08:17.000 You know, the town had their complaints.
00:08:20.000 You know, there were some people that were very angry.
00:08:23.000 It's just, it's one of those things that, you know, and most of these people don't live here.
00:08:26.000 A lot of the businesses here are owned by the people in Trophy Club, but I mean, it's always been conservative because of that.
00:08:31.000 Like they were telling us earlier, this is the first show of the kind that's like that here.
00:08:36.000 It's an honorable show, and we have many, many more of us.
00:08:40.000 Clearly, we know that we really want it, and we're gonna do our best. 0.61
00:08:45.000 You know, it says, keep Roanoke gay. 0.96
00:08:47.000 I didn't know Roanoke, a city, could be gay. 0.98
00:08:49.000 It's an it's I'm sorry, but it's an animal object They said when you're 18 do what you want, but they're 0.86
00:09:06.000 saying if you're under 18, this is they shouldn't be here I don't know. 0.99
00:09:09.000 In my opinion, I don't think it's weird, but I guess people can have their opinions, but it's just kind of disrespectful to scream at people.
00:09:22.000 What they're saying is that there's children in here, and this is exposing children to sexual content, and that should not be happening.
00:09:29.000 happening.
00:09:30.000 Nothing sexual happening in here.
00:09:31.000 What's the difference between that and a children's beauty pageant? 1.00
00:09:42.000 That's actually sexualizing children. 1.00
00:09:44.000 I'm not exactly sure you'd want to make that comparison, but do as you will.
00:09:49.000 Did anybody ever watch Mrs. Doubtfire and enjoy that?
00:09:52.000 Did anybody ever watch?
00:09:53.000 There's tons of things on the TV.
00:09:55.000 It's not... This is not... This is like a comedy show, like Miss... like that?
00:09:58.000 No, I'm on... I think when it... whenever there's like a...
00:10:04.000 Uh, like a sexual thing going on.
00:10:08.000 There shouldn't be kids there.
00:10:09.000 Now, my team wanted to get more information about what the show's supporters thought in regards to what constitutes sexual content or what have you.
00:10:17.000 But every time we got to that point in the conversation, the Goon Squad, that's totally not an organization, just an ideology, mind you, stepped in.
00:10:26.000 Oh, sorry.
00:10:29.000 I'm being pulled away.
00:10:30.000 Y'all have fun.
00:10:31.000 Thank you for speaking with us.
00:10:32.000 Appreciate it.
00:10:33.000 Luckily for us, not everyone was against explaining their views.
00:10:37.000 That guy in the gray shirt over there, I've been praying for him most of the day.
00:10:40.000 He's under quite a conviction right now.
00:10:43.000 And it may not happen today, but his heart will be changed.
00:10:47.000 And because I've been praying to a God of miracles, it takes a miracle to change a heart.
00:10:52.000 I can't do it.
00:10:53.000 All I can do is pray.
00:10:54.000 And he said if you were willing to have a face-to-face conversation, he would do the same thing.
00:10:58.000 Sure I would.
00:10:59.000 Would that be something you would be willing to do?
00:11:00.000 Oh, I'd let him see it.
00:11:01.000 Okay. 1.00
00:11:02.000 I know how those people feel about me, and they put a bullet in my head. 0.97
00:11:07.000 I promise you I will not.
00:11:09.000 Well, you're strong and you're strong.
00:11:10.000 Yes, sir.
00:11:11.000 Well, let's see how this goes.
00:11:12.000 There's no g-strings or anything like that.
00:11:14.000 There's no child abuse going on at all inside.
00:11:17.000 In your heart, you can tell me that children need to be taught this?
00:11:22.000 In my heart, I can tell you that there's an openness to this, yes.
00:11:26.000 Do you believe that children should be hit with this in classrooms?
00:11:32.000 Should it be taught, Tranchestide?
00:11:34.000 I don't believe children are taught that in classrooms.
00:11:36.000 And I teach middle school, so it's important for my kids to know.
00:11:40.000 Not great so far.
00:11:41.000 I'm going to pray for this guy's heart.
00:11:43.000 Hey, you don't have to pray for me.
00:11:44.000 It'll change, I promise you.
00:11:46.000 It may be in a dream tonight.
00:11:48.000 We're going to not agree on that ever.
00:11:50.000 I'm going to continue to pray for you.
00:11:52.000 I'm sure you believe that Nancy Pelosi also doesn't belong in a leadership position. 0.98
00:11:56.000 Thank you very much for talking.
00:11:58.000 I want both of you to be safe.
00:11:59.000 I don't know what's going to happen.
00:12:04.000 Hey, thank you again very much.
00:12:05.000 See, this has nothing to do with why I'm here.
00:12:08.000 Well, why aren't you here, then?
00:12:09.000 I'm praying for you.
00:12:10.000 Why?
00:12:10.000 I don't need prayer, sir.
00:12:12.000 My relationship with God... My relationship with God is completely on my own.
00:12:12.000 I am good.
00:12:18.000 I hate the fact that you probably have cheated on your wife multiple times.
00:12:22.000 I hate that. 0.58
00:12:22.000 I hate that for you. 0.58
00:12:23.000 I hate that for you. 0.63
00:12:25.000 I hate the fact that your wife has probably cheated on you multiple times. 1.00
00:12:28.000 You've been, what, married 60 years, probably?
00:12:28.000 You know what?
00:12:30.000 I'm sure there's been some infidelity there.
00:12:33.000 You are not perfect in your marriage.
00:12:35.000 What was your first name?
00:12:38.000 Kevin.
00:12:39.000 That was pray for me all you want.
00:12:41.000 The book of James is my favorite book.
00:12:42.000 God, Jesus, the holy man, everything.
00:12:46.000 I have a relationship with him. 0.99
00:12:47.000 Your people are crazy. 0.99
00:12:49.000 Don't want to kill us all. 1.00
00:12:51.000 No, you do.
00:12:51.000 You do.
00:12:52.000 Yeah, you do.
00:12:53.000 You do.
00:12:54.000 You want to stay.
00:12:55.000 Well, that escalated quickly.
00:12:57.000 One girl just came over here and said she'll make out with me. 1.00
00:12:59.000 She's just not against drag.
00:13:00.000 She's just against drag queens. 1.00
00:13:05.000 How do you do, fellow kids?
00:13:06.000 Of course, it wasn't long before the police got involved.
00:13:09.000 Do I look cool?
00:13:11.000 Of course it wasn't long before the police got involved.
00:13:14.000 Do I look cool?
00:13:16.000 In Texas, I'm from Minnesota, so I'm like anything that's different, I'm like, we can make Texas blue.
00:13:25.000 Oh, so that's what this is all about.
00:13:27.000 Hi Beto, I mean Robert Francis.
00:13:29.000 Just make sure that we shined a light on this loving family so that our fellow Texans understand what's at stake.
00:13:36.000 I actually appreciate the full disclosure here.
00:13:38.000 When you go out to vote in November and you think of Beto O'Rourke, think this child-friendly drag show. 0.94
00:13:46.000 We're here, we're proud, we're queer, unapologetically.
00:14:04.000 And I'm here to say, hey, start noticing us even if we're not going anywhere.
00:14:12.000 And just like Beto's rally in Livingston, most of the people with whom we spoke were not even from the area.
00:14:19.000 They just came in for the event.
00:14:20.000 They were imported.
00:14:22.000 But you don't have to take my word for it to further illustrate that fact.
00:14:25.000 The mayor of Roanoke released a statement and personally emailed this to my team expressing the reaction and outrage from the Roanoke community.
00:14:33.000 We will do whatever it takes, I think that's what he sounds like,
00:14:36.000 we will do whatever it takes working with our county and state partners
00:14:40.000 to maintain a culture of respect for families and in defense of our children.
00:14:44.000 Having heard from our residents, rest assured that the city is investigating the incident
00:14:49.000 and is pursuing all options to ensure our children are protected
00:14:54.000 and the safety of our community is not compromised.
00:14:57.000 By now it should be clear that nothing that took place in Roanoke was family friendly
00:15:02.000 and at its core this entire charade is nothing more than a method to indoctrinate children
00:15:07.000 into a perverse ideology at its worst.
00:15:11.000 At best, show them hyper-sexualized content that would never be allowed with underage children in a heterosexual strip club.
00:15:18.000 But the progressive left is not backing down.
00:15:21.000 They are demanding that you comply.
00:15:23.000 If you choose to do so, that's your right.
00:15:25.000 But I do want you To remember one thing.
