00:01:03.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:03:00.000First of all, it's okay to feel hurt, but this is not personal towards you.
00:03:03.000I know that sounds weird, but him viewing pornography is not about you or your marriage.
00:03:07.000This is about him dealing with a serious pattern of sexual sin that so many men have battled with, myself included.
00:03:13.000If young men start viewing porn between ages 14 to 16, it creates neuro associations in the brain that are very hard to break later in life, but not impossible.
00:03:20.000I direct her to yourbrain on porn.com.
00:04:30.000You need to know that you need to know this and that it's your role as a wife to help him heal like he's trying to defeat cancer or even a virus.
00:04:36.000Number five, I highly recommend he starts using an accountability browser like Covenant Eyes.

00:04:45.000And finally, I link to a book called At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry.
00:04:50.000I say, This is a tough road, but stay close to God and involve your husband with how you feel about this.
00:05:10.000I'm not as good of a writer as Blake, but that was good.
00:05:12.000But anyway, I kind of summarized my thoughts there, but I just hope everyone understands this is a widespread thing.
00:05:18.000It's not something that needs to be normalized in the sense of like, oh, it's okay if you struggle with meaning, like, oh, it's okay if you watch porn, but in the sense that there should be widespread compassion for men that are trying to overcome this terrible addiction that so many people wrestle with.
00:05:38.000I am a state delegate for Colorado going to our state assembly next week.
00:05:44.000And I'm just wondering, like, what would you say, like, like maybe top five questions for me and the other delegates could be to determine like if a candidate is a rhino versus like a MAGA constitutional conservative Republican?
00:06:52.000But you'll be able to tell if they kind of waffle and if they kind of go back and forth.
00:06:57.000If they talk a lot about wanting to move on from this moment and get back to the base, like the business, the basics, or something, if they have a lot of nostalgia for 2006, that's probably a good warning sign.
00:07:13.000Yeah, and then also if they're kind of constantly talking just about business issues, then bad sign.
00:07:54.000It was just really hard to tell, like in a couple of the races, you know, like what, you know, just to trust what they were saying, you know, versus not.
00:08:06.000And like, I asked as many questions as I could think.
00:08:09.000And I just did at our county assembly as well to a couple of them.
00:09:26.000So the issue is we don't seem to know, but we know there's a lot more of it than there was before because, you know, you can look at the charts.
00:09:34.000There were two of these clinics 20 years ago.
00:13:19.000Christendom, yeah, like viewing, like view European history mostly, but Christian history.
00:13:24.000Like he, the idea was let's take a view of history that is directly informed by this is the Christian world and what the Christian world is doing.
00:13:32.000He also really liked Marie Antoinette.
00:13:36.000But one of my great frustrations is how Catholics do not always vote their values and how Catholics that are not as serious Catholics, they will vote Democrat, they will support abortion, they'll support the trans thing, including Joe Biden, who calls himself a Catholic.
00:14:26.000Yeah, and the best answer I can give is time.
00:14:29.000My dad always dedicated a ton of time to be there for me, whatever I was interested in, sports, you know, Boy Scouts, and that's the most important thing is to try to carve out time to be present and really saying no to all sorts of different, you know, things that you might want to do.
00:14:49.000Oh, can you want to go out with your friends or whatever?
00:14:51.000And just say no to that and dedicate time to being a father and to being, you know, raising good kids.
00:14:58.000Do they talk about this with Protestants?
00:15:00.000You hear it all the time in Catholic men's groups and the like, but as far as parents worry a lot about making sure their kids might, you know, stay in whatever faith they're growing up in.
00:15:09.000And it's essentially 100% the dad who decides whether this happens.
00:15:14.000If you have a family where two parents already have a two-parent household and only the mom is practicing whatever the faith is, the child's, the children keep doing it about two or three percent.
00:15:58.000Like, this is why you have to, you know, show this is important for your kids.
00:16:01.000They will take the cue from their dad.
00:16:05.000Folks, so many people I know are disheartened that our country seems to have forgotten the importance of citizenship and they wonder how a strong sense of citizenship might be revived.
00:16:15.000That's why my friends at Hillsdale College have produced a free online course on this topic, American Citizenship and Its Decline.
00:16:22.000Taught by historian Victor Davis Hansen, the course traces the history of citizenship and explains how it is undermined in America today by open borders, by identity politics, by the administrative state, and by globalization.
00:16:35.000Americans taking the course will gain a deeper insight about the connection between citizenship and freedom, an insight they can share with their family members, friends, and neighbors.
00:16:44.000Hillsdale's free online courses are an important component of Hillsdale's mission to reach and teach increasing millions of people on behalf of liberty and the American way of life.
00:16:54.000So sign up today for Hillsdale's free online course, American Citizenship and Its Decline, by visiting charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:17:15.000I'm not sure if you're aware of the current dynamics in the Idaho GOP, but briefly, the Old Guard establishment is targeting the grassroots precinct committee women and men who successfully gained control of the party in 2022, electing a true conservative, Dorothy Moon, as head of the state GOP.
00:17:32.000So the Old Guard is now investing up to $2 million in dark money to run lobbyists and past politicians against the grassroots PCs this May to regain, quote, regain control of the party.
00:17:46.000So I'd like to empower at minimum our Ada County liberty-minded PC candidates in using your newly created app for the May primary, which will help us relationally organize and lay the foundation for strong get out the votes efforts in November.
00:17:59.000And if we don't succeed, Idaho's trajectory and fate is likely to be that of Colorado.
00:18:05.000My question is: can you please share next steps for who to contact or information to access for me and any others on this call who are working hard to use your app and apply your effective get out the vote strategies for critical races in their jurisdictions?
00:18:20.000Well, first of all, thank you for doing that and for being part of the team.
00:18:23.000So you're in a very important state and something that I fully support getting involved in a, it might end up being a nasty Republican fight, and that is Idaho.
00:18:35.000So if you were in a state, for example, that was a 50-50 battleground state, let's just say Georgia, not the best use of time at this point, right?
00:18:42.000We have to, but right now in Idaho, the biggest problem you guys have in Idaho is that Republicans control everything and they act like Democrats.
00:19:08.000And the establishment, they might have more money, but that does not mean that they are insurmountable or that there is any guarantee they're going to win.
00:19:17.000And so, you know, so I hope that's somewhat helpful.
00:19:20.000We'd love to have you stay engaged, stay involved.
00:19:22.000Any way we can help at turning point action, we're happy to supply that.
00:19:27.000I will say our priority is understandably battleground states right now.
00:19:39.000And you, right now, you need better U.S. senators.
00:19:43.000What a tragedy that Idaho, which is one of the most right-wing states in the country, you have basically two Mitt Romneys as U.S. senators.
00:20:48.000I'm trying to find the book too, which looked at like 100 years of evidence and reached the same conclusion, which was it's very much the strong father bond, essentially, that really.
00:21:19.000And then I think it's a double thing where you need them to set that tone and to have a good relationship with the children because we know plenty of cases where kids rebel against their dad.
00:21:29.000And sometimes this is societal poisons that might push them to do it.
00:21:33.000But there are probably cases where dad unfortunately botches the job of parenting in some way or another.
00:21:56.000A very big, and that, by the way, also from likelihood to go to prison, likelihood to maintain a good job, you know, not commit crimes, all that sort of stuff.
00:22:04.000Having a father in the home is, or not, is one of the highest predictors of a child's future.
00:23:36.000Yes, and she's still going after a pretty strong one.
00:23:40.000So, yeah, she is a wicked human being.
00:23:44.000And she is now, she looks like a character in wicked.
00:23:46.000Yes, and we should just paint her green and call her alphabet.
00:23:49.000And she's in symmetry with other secretaries of states and attorneys general.
00:23:56.000So, Rod, I guess my question for you, you're in the Michigan grassroots.
00:24:00.000Has it weakened the resolve to fight for election integrity in Michigan?
00:24:05.000Yes, and I'll tell you, the last election, I had friends and myself, we went down to Detroit when all those issues were going on last time in the presidential election.
00:24:15.000And if you can remember what they did in those reports, they were actually putting up sheets and covering up what they were doing in downtown Detroit.
00:24:24.000And that got a lot of people like, what can we do?
00:24:27.000We're like at odds of what we could do to fight that type of actions.
00:24:32.000And everybody that fought it, you know, was getting in trouble with the law.
00:24:36.000And it's like, are we going to really fight and get ourselves in that type of situation?
00:24:40.000Well, look, there's no easy solution there.
00:24:44.000But the best thing I could say is I hope the RNC comes in soon.
00:24:49.000And I'm going to push Lara Trump to do this with legal support so that we could try to get some judgments because there is a chilling effect.
00:24:58.000They want to try to indict so many people that you're afraid to contest for election integrity.
00:25:02.000That's the point, is that they want to try to put so many people in jail, put so many people behind bars.
00:25:08.000And if there was an issue that fires me up the most, it is the criminalization of these alternate electors.
00:25:14.000Like this was proven in American history to be fine to do.
00:25:18.000No one was trying to overthrow the government.
00:25:20.000It was only conditional that if there was a conclusive amount of evidence that the electors were there in 1960, an alternate slate of electors was used, and they go after these everyday patriots.
00:25:35.000So this is the only precedent we have before 2020 of what are we going to do in our current system if people are arguing about who won a state and we're getting close to the deadline for these things.
00:27:45.000And then suddenly, Democrats turned out and say, actually, this is a felony.
00:27:49.000And the crazy thing is, in some cases, they're saying, you committed fraud, even though they release freaking press releases when they do this.
00:28:14.000But people are facing serious prison time and having their lives ruined.
00:28:17.000They're just taking people who have never committed a crime, never been arrested before this, never been, never done anything against their communities.
00:28:24.000And they're treating them like they're freaking Timothy McVeigh.
00:28:38.000For those of you who aren't millennials, Dolores Umbridge is a villain in a Harry Potter book who is, if you've read it, you know the type.
00:28:47.000If you watch the movie, you know the type.
00:28:49.000Just think of like an overly zealous hall monitor.
00:28:52.000Yeah, overzealous hall monitor, very committed to the system, very acid-toned and just like, well, Mr. Potter, why didn't you consider that before you signed the alternate electors?
00:29:05.000Oh, man, Harry Potter and the alternate electors.
00:29:07.000Yes, that could be the eighth volume by J.K. Rowling.
00:29:11.000Magic would explain some things that happened in 2020.
00:29:13.000But Rod, I know we spent a lot of time on that.
00:29:39.000What if I told you that most of the notable diaper brands support abortion, even footing the bill for their employees to travel to have an abortion?
00:29:47.000It's one thing to reject your customers.
00:29:49.000It's another thing to support their termination.
00:29:52.000If you're a parent sickened by woke corporations supporting the destruction of American values and our most precious blessing, our children, then meet Every Life, America's pro-life diaper brand.
00:30:03.000Finally, a baby brand that aligns with your values and is unapologetically pro-life.
00:30:07.000Every life believes that no matter where someone is from, what they look like, planned or unplanned, every baby is a miracle worth protecting and defending.
00:30:16.000Every life offers high-performing premium diapers and wipes created with your little ones in mind.
00:30:21.000Their diapers are made of that fragrances, dyes, lotions, latex, parabens, or phthalates.
00:30:30.000Go to everylife.com for diapers and wipe bundles delivered right to your doorstep and feel good knowing every purchase changes lives through their support of pro-life organizations and pregnancy resource centers.
00:30:41.000Every life is changing diapers, changing lives.
00:31:13.000And actually, that's what I'm talking about.
00:31:15.000Charlie, you were talking about an election that you thought was swayed because of IVF and some of the talk that's come out about it, about what to do with the embryos and all.
00:31:26.000And I was thinking about, I'm actually a physician, and I was thinking about this.
00:31:29.000Thought it's so weird that the Democrats would kind of take this up and champion it because you have to ask, what would they do with these embryos?
00:31:42.000Would they continue to grow them somehow, you know, for body parts or whatever?
00:31:47.000I think there's a lot of questions that come to mind when you talk about that particular party who celebrates abortion kind of taking this over as a fight.
00:32:00.000So I just think it's a really interesting thing and maybe something that we could actually campaign on on, you know, why do they want to be the champions of IVF and how safe is that for people who want to have, you know, children?
00:32:44.000Now, some people would argue, and I can see this, that an element of the Democrat Party is that they want to try to exert human will over nature.
00:32:53.000And an element of IVF is that there is a little bit of you can like synthetically create human life outside of the natural way that God gave us.
00:33:03.000I think that's actually a pretty good argument to oppose IVF.
00:33:06.000I don't agree with it completely to oppose IVF, but that some people emailed me, said, Charlie, you don't understand this is a gateway to transhumanism and what Aldous Huxley wrote in Brave New World and being able to artificially grow humans.
00:33:17.000But they are not looking at this from a standpoint as they're necessarily an ideological agreement.
00:33:25.000They're just trying to capitalize on it politically.
00:33:38.000The simple truth is IVF is popular and they think they can use it to really supercharge the abortion thing, which might otherwise fade a little bit because it's been more times since Dobbs.
00:33:49.000I do think there's a lot of moral issues with IVF for the reasons that are brought up.
00:33:53.000And I think they sense this is a weak point because IVF is a lot more popular among Republicans than abortion is.
00:34:00.000They see it as a way to call them hypocrites because the truth is, for most people, IVF does have this sordid element that you create a lot of embryos.
00:34:09.000Most of those things will be thrown away.
00:34:11.000So if you say life begins at conception, you do meet a lot of people who kind of, they get waffly on this because they like babies.
00:34:19.000It's a way to emotionally exploit people to get political wins.
00:34:23.000It is a, it might have been by mistake because of this judge, but it is an effective attack vector against it is.
00:34:31.000This danger is real because as we said the other day, there is no value at all in just getting blown up and losing an election to pro-death ghouls when you could win and get some victories.
00:34:56.000I was thinking about all of these, all the legal battles that were had in 2020 and just how they were able to use and shut down every pathway to understand, just understand what was going on.
00:35:12.000Is there someone or some entity out there right now wargaming to understand all the different avenues?
00:35:49.000Trump ran against Hillary Clinton, winged it the whole way, and it worked.
00:35:53.000It worked in an incredibly remarkable way.
00:35:58.000But if 2016 had come down to 500 votes in one state, there would have been a lot of problems because there was not nearly as much structure for fighting out just this knife fight thing where every legal motion matters.
00:36:14.000And you could read stories about this in 2020, that when 2020 started shaping up that way, Kushner's on the phone trying to find his Bush v. Gore guy.
00:36:24.000But you can't just have that ready to go on five minutes' notice.
00:36:28.000You actually have to have that war room built up over time.
00:36:32.000What I will say is there are, they're not famous, and some of them are even tied to people we don't like that much.
00:36:38.000Like there's like there's a group that like Karl Rove is involved with, and they're challenging a lot of the sort of dumber.
00:36:46.000Like they're doing, they're doing lawsuits on the whole, like there was one in Pennsylvania recently where Pennsylvania is trying to say, oh, actually, Merkelias is going around saying they don't need to date their envelopes when they send in their ballot.
00:36:58.000And if you try to make them do that, that's basically the same as Jim Crow.
00:37:04.000And a Biden appointee actually shot that down and said that was incorrect.
00:37:09.000But if that holds a lot of people, that lawsuit probably costs $700,000 to $800,000.
00:37:14.000And it also probably, yeah, it costs money to fight that lawsuit.
00:37:32.000And I think it would be good to have some sort of central plan, but it would require a big level up in, frankly, the Republican Party's level of political organization.
00:37:51.000My question is: if Trump gets into office, does he plan on investigating the generals and commanding officers who participated in pulling out of the Middle East and those that knowingly made the call to leave billions of dollars worth of military equipment in enemy hands?
00:38:07.000During World War II, we had over 15 million active duty military with less than a dozen foreign five-star generals.
00:38:14.000And today we have less than 10% of that with over 50 four or five-star generals.
00:38:42.000There's a line in this old Greek playwright I like.
00:38:44.000The generals, they are numerous, but not good for much.
00:38:47.000And very much applies to today as well.
00:38:50.000And it's a sort of general crisis in the United States.
00:38:54.000And it doesn't just apply to the military, which is if you are really calamitously wrong in how you run the country, there's not much accountability of any sort.
00:39:07.000And, you know, you could be really extreme on this in the past.
00:39:11.000The British once shot an admiral because he lost a battle, and it was probably not justified in that case.
00:39:18.000But as Voltaire wrote, in Britain, they just shoot an admiral from sometime, time to time to encourage the others.
00:39:24.000But if we had, you know, a lesser version of that, you can apply this to the business world as well.
00:39:29.000It used to be, until surprisingly recently, if you're a banker, if you ran an investment or like a financial company and it went bankrupt, you were personally liable for the losses at that firm.
00:39:41.000It is a quite recent change in the laws.
00:39:45.000I think within the last 60 or 70 years, we're not talking 300 years ago, that you are not personally liable for these losses.
00:39:52.000So in 2008, what if we'd said your firm can get a bailout from the federal government, but actually all of your executives are personally liable before you can draw on that money?
00:40:55.000These girls are, they're suffering from all the lies of modernity and hookup culture.
00:41:00.000And it's just, the experience was, I think, a good one in the sense that it was seen by millions and millions of people.
00:41:07.000I mean, I get that compliment of how well we did on that more than almost anything else.
00:41:13.000What stood out to me the most is when they just asked you about your own life and you're like, okay, I'm married to, you know, one woman and I just want to be with this one woman and this is our relationship.
00:41:32.000They would love to have act in that way.
00:41:34.000And yeah, and it's just the message of this actually is available to anyone if you live your life in the way that would be conducive to creating that.
00:41:45.000There's so many, you know, so much lies and crap that gets put out that, oh yeah, if you get a bunch of tattoos and get on all these trashy apps and, you know, get on OnlyFans, like that will lead to your like romantic, happy ending.
00:42:00.000And we have a, we're scheduling, she was not on the program with me, but she was a whatever guest, former OnlyFans model who gave her life to Christ and has denounced all of that.
