00:00:28.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:29.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:32.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:35.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:38.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:39.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:40.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:42.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:49.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:00:57.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:00.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:09.000 Jane Fonda.
00:01:12.000 Jane Fonda.
00:01:13.000 It's been a while since I've talked about Jane Fonda.
00:01:16.000 I think she's become really irrelevant.
00:01:18.000 Let's play a game. 0.98
00:01:20.000 How old do you think Jane Fonda is? 1.00
00:01:22.000 She is 85 years old. 0.98
00:01:26.000 I think she's morally contemptible, but she looks good for 85.
00:01:30.000 I got to be honest.
00:01:32.000 You have to be, I mean, she looks good for 85.
00:01:35.000 You got to wonder how much work she's had done.
00:01:37.000 But still.
00:01:39.000 All right.
00:01:40.000 So Jane Fonda was a really big deal for years, and she's obviously lesser now.
00:01:46.000 Not exactly as well known to the younger generation.
00:01:49.000 But in an attempt to try to make herself seem relevant again, Jane Fonda went on The View and said some things that were so extraordinary, so over the top, it really makes you just kind of look twice at it.
00:02:06.000 Now, mind you, she's been an activist her whole life.
00:02:09.000 She's been involved.
00:02:10.000 She said she was in support of the civil rights movement, but she most famously visited Hanoi in 1972 and sat inside of a North Vietnamese AA gun gun used to shoot at American jets.
00:02:25.000 It's an anti-air gun.
00:02:26.000 Thank you.
00:02:27.000 Because I was like, how do you sit inside of a gun?
00:02:28.000 It was an anti-air weapon.
00:02:30.000 During that visit, she accused the United States of systematically targeting Vietnam's dyke system to cause flooding and cause mass civilian casualties.
00:02:38.000 This was not true. 0.68
00:02:41.000 That's Jane Fonda, and you could be considered a traitor for that. 1.00
00:02:45.000 She's been at the center of so much political activism and controversy. 0.88
00:02:49.000 And it's interesting. 1.00
00:02:51.000 She considers herself a big feminist.
00:02:53.000 Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinman, all these people were considered to be really big feminists, yet she's very quiet on the fact that men are now able to continue their quote-unquote terror campaign against women.
00:03:06.000 She said that oil executives and politicians who don't support climate change agenda should be treated like Nazi war criminals. 0.99
00:03:13.000 But she's really trying to outdo herself here.
00:03:16.000 Let's play cut 118 of Jane Fonda on The View. 1.00
00:03:20.000 Play Cut 118.
00:03:22.000 Experienced many decades now of having agency over our body, of being able to determine when and how many children to have.
00:03:30.000 We know what that feels like.
00:03:32.000 We know what that's done for our lives.
00:03:34.000 We're not going back.
00:03:35.000 I don't care what the laws are.
00:03:36.000 Besides this marching and protesting, what else do you suggest?
00:03:42.000 Well, it doesn't matter overnight.
00:03:43.000 It's not a miraculous.
00:03:45.000 What did you say?
00:03:46.000 Murder.
00:03:48.000 She's kidding.
00:03:49.000 Wait a second.
00:03:49.000 She's just kidding.
00:03:50.000 Don't say that.
00:03:51.000 Oh, you don't know.
00:03:51.000 They'll pick up on that.
00:03:53.000 Yeah, that's the worst.
00:03:54.000 She's just kidding.
00:03:55.000 Well, let me talk to you about. 0.79
00:03:59.000 What's most troubling about that clip is how the audience laughs when she says they should kill us.
00:04:06.000 And she looks like she's not kidding. 1.00
00:04:08.000 Jane Fonda is a very angry person. 0.67
00:04:10.000 So let's kind of take this apart.
00:04:12.000 So Jane Fonda says, we know what having agency over our bodies has given us.
00:04:18.000 What has it given you, Jane Fonda? 1.00
00:04:22.000 You're a very angry and bitter person.
00:04:25.000 Has having agency over your body made you a happier person, more joyful, more thoughtful, more likely to love or have compassion? 0.95
00:04:36.000 You're calling for the murder of other people.
00:04:37.000 I think there's something in your being that is rather broken.
00:04:44.000 She does have three kids, including Troy Garity and Mary Williams.
00:04:48.000 So the fact sheet that was sent to me is incorrect.
00:04:52.000 She does have kids.
00:04:53.000 She's had three husbands, four. 1.00
00:04:55.000 She's on her fourth husband.
00:04:57.000 And so she says we're not going back.
00:04:59.000 And you got to wonder, what does she mean by that?
00:05:01.000 Go back to the respect of the unborn or the pre-born or the pre-born, not the unborn. 0.78
00:05:07.000 You see, they have no problem with selective intervention of the termination of life.
00:05:13.000 They've never had a problem for that.
00:05:15.000 Fonda says Harvey Weinstein only got caught because, quote, because so many of the women that were assaulted by Harvey Weinstein are famous and white.
00:05:24.000 Well, maybe she has a point there, but she does love abortion whose victims are mostly not famous and not white. 0.71
00:05:31.000 And she won't speak out against that.
00:05:33.000 So Jane Fonda continues to outdo herself as kind of one of the main leaders of modern feminism, completely silent on the entire trans issue and the fact that men are now winning championships against females in female sports, silent on it, in fact, supportive of it, it seems. 0.69
00:05:50.000 And she continues her activist campaign on the view, calling for the murder of people that she disagrees with.
00:05:58.000 Okay, let's get to another question here because I'm taking your questions this whole hour, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:06:04.000 Charlie, did you see the recent Camelot Harris interview?
00:06:09.000 I wonder what your take is regarding her opinion on climate mental health.
00:06:15.000 Let's play CUP 102, which goes directly to the question, Cut 102.
00:06:20.000 I mean, one of the young leaders was talking to me about climate mental health.
00:06:26.000 I said, tell me what's going on with your peers.
00:06:28.000 Climate mental health.
00:06:30.000 And she talked about how her peers are thinking about it.
00:06:35.000 One example is, you know, whether when they're ready, could they start a family?
00:06:40.000 Trying to figure out, you know, they're going to have to get a job and they're going to have to make a living, but what can they do and how can they adapt the education that they're having now to their activism?
00:06:48.000 Climate alarmism and climate fanaticism is contributing to people's depression in the younger generation.
00:06:57.000 They actually think the world is going to end.
00:06:59.000 And that is exactly where the left wants them.
00:07:02.000 They don't want them to be joyful or optimistic or believe that life has beauty or meaning.
00:07:07.000 No, they want them to believe that there is an imminent climate apocalypse, that only if they give enough political power to the state and eradicate the world of private property and be able to bring in some sort of green environmental Marxism, only then will they be able to be happy.
00:07:27.000 And yeah, this is a very big deal.
00:07:29.000 We have the most depressed, most suicidal, angriest generation in American history.
00:07:35.000 And we should ask ourselves the question why? 0.80
00:07:38.000 One of the reasons is that we're told that your past is completely racist, bigoted, awful, and terrible.
00:07:44.000 Your future is going to end in the flooding of the earth and the end of society as we know it.
00:07:51.000 So you have to wonder what exactly is there to look forward to?
00:07:54.000 What is there to live for if you're a young kid?
00:07:58.000 And the answer the left offers them is very little to anything.
00:08:01.000 It is, and the CDC is now coming out and they're saying young women are more depressed than ever before.
00:08:06.000 Yeah, I wonder why. 0.99
00:08:08.000 You are feeding them a constant diet of philosophical trash, of garbage, of venom. 0.99
00:08:15.000 And you're wondering why all of a sudden they're not exactly happy with their life, where they're going and who they are. 0.98
00:08:23.000 Maybe there was something to the way we used to educate children, the classical model of education, reading great books, diving deep into ideas.
00:08:31.000 Kamala Harris kind of just doesn't even know what to make of it.
00:08:36.000 She discusses the climate mental health pushed by people like Greta Thunberg and Al Gore trying to turn young people into climate revolutionaries, fanatics. 0.75
00:08:47.000 What an immoral thing to do to a young kid that has so much future, so much positive that they could contribute to the world, so much goodness, so much beauty, and to make, to turn them into little revolutionaries, as if the entire world is going to collapse unless we abolish fossil fuels.
00:09:04.000 It is robbing children of their youth, robbing children of their future, robbing them of optimism and of joy.
00:09:13.000 That is exactly what the left does every single day.
00:09:18.000 All right.
00:09:18.000 Every time I feel like I'm meeting somebody new, I am learning how many people are also on PhD weight loss.
00:09:27.000 So look, a lot of people come to us to partner with our show and to work with us.
00:09:34.000 And PhD weight loss came to us and they said, listen, we want to work with you, but we want to first have you go on the program for a month.
00:09:41.000 I said, sure, fine, of course.
00:09:43.000 And had an opening conversation with Dr. Ashley Lucas and their philosophy is different than anything I ever heard.
00:09:49.000 And look, it's hard to lose weight.
00:09:52.000 It's very hard to keep weight off.
00:09:54.000 I mean, with the crazy schedule, especially when you're traveling as much as I do.
00:09:57.000 And so for a month, I've been on this program and it's really interesting.
00:10:01.000 And the results speak of themselves, already down six pounds.
00:10:04.000 And for those of you that are trying to lose weight, listen very carefully.
00:10:07.000 So this is called PhD Weight Loss.
00:10:09.000 And the program is very simple.
00:10:11.000 Dr. Ashley Lucas, founder, she's amazing.
00:10:14.000 She has a whole team and they customize a plan just for you, works with your schedule. 0.62
00:10:18.000 They don't really believe in calorie reduction.
00:10:21.000 They don't believe in all the kind of typical sound bites that you hear.
00:10:26.000 They look at all your medical history.
00:10:27.000 They talk with you.
00:10:28.000 They personalize it.
00:10:30.000 And they also send you the food.
00:10:32.000 And so it's super easy.
00:10:33.000 It's right there.
00:10:34.000 And then you get a personal coach.
00:10:36.000 And I could tell you, for me, my coach, she's tough.
00:10:40.000 She's great.
00:10:41.000 And she knows her stuff.
00:10:42.000 And that's exactly what I need, but also very compassionate and caring.
00:10:46.000 And again, they provide you 80% of your food at no additional cost.
00:10:50.000 They treat your entire person.
00:10:52.000 And Dr. Ashley believes that all the change starts with the mind.
00:10:55.000 And so she helps you change your behavior and think differently about food so you'll never gain this weight back.
00:11:00.000 And look, one of the things I like best about PhD weight loss is they're very understanding about where you're at in life.
00:11:06.000 It's not judgmental.
00:11:07.000 It's not like you're some sort of side project.
00:11:09.000 You get your own coach, literally, if you do this.
00:11:12.000 And then you get food on top of it.
00:11:13.000 The best thing about this program is they have an 85% success rate of their clients maintaining their weight loss for life.
00:11:19.000 I have no idea how much fat I'm going to lose, but hopefully more.
00:11:22.000 And obviously, you know, it's not easy to do that, but they are able to guide me through it in a very successful and effective way.
00:11:29.000 I think they could do it for you as well.
00:11:31.000 No joke.
00:11:31.000 I literally have my call with the coach tomorrow and looking forward to kind of maintaining and hopefully accelerating that success.
00:11:40.000 They have a lifetime maintenance plan to keep you on track and maintenance is free.
00:11:43.000 One of the most important things you could do for your overall health is to lose weight.
00:11:48.000 And it's not easy, right?
00:11:49.000 No judgment.
00:11:50.000 I know it's hard.
00:11:51.000 You're running a million places.
00:11:53.000 So you should consider PhD weight loss.
00:11:55.000 Only have I vetted them, I'm working with them, and I think they're really onto something here.
00:12:00.000 I think they could really help you out.

00:12:35.000 They work with you.
00:12:36.000 They understand if you have food allergies.
00:12:38.000 They're compassionate.
00:12:39.000 They're clear, but they also help you really be held accountable to the standard that you want to go.
00:12:44.000 So go to myphdweightloss.com.
00:12:47.000 Check it out.
00:12:48.000 I'm a believer in their program.
00:12:49.000 I think they're really onto something.
00:12:50.000 Myphdweightloss.com.
00:12:55.000 Charlie, what do you think about the fentanyl crisis in America and what can be done to solve it?
00:13:00.000 This really concerns me.
00:13:01.000 Fentanyl is a real lethal drug.
00:13:03.000 It is terrible.
00:13:05.000 And our government is more concerned with violent extremists.
00:13:10.000 Tom Cotton, who's a good senator from Arkansas, he doesn't always vote the way I'd like him to, especially with that omnibus bill back in December.
00:13:16.000 I didn't like that, but he's a good man.
00:13:18.000 And he's a strong fighter and he's a true conservative.
00:13:21.000 He had an opportunity to cross-examine Averill Haynes, who is a member of the Biden regime.
00:13:30.000 She serves as the senior director of national intelligence for the Biden administration.
00:13:37.000 And that's her job.
00:13:39.000 So she's the director of national intelligence, DNI.
00:13:43.000 She's the first woman to serve in the role.
00:13:46.000 And so she's the seventh director of the DNI.
00:13:50.000 Okay.
00:13:51.000 So Tom Cotton had an opportunity to ask her some questions.
00:13:55.000 And I love these questions.
00:13:58.000 In Aristotle's ethics, the entire book of the ethics is built on this premise, which is that there is a hierarchy of the good.
00:14:06.000 There's a hierarchy of some things matter more than others.
00:14:09.000 And in life, a mature citizen and a mature society goes the process of talking about what matters more and what matters less.
00:14:18.000 Not everything can matter the same.
00:14:22.000 Food, shelter, medicine matters more than entertainment.
00:14:26.000 It's pretty obvious, right?
00:14:27.000 Entertainment comes second to those things.
00:14:29.000 But since we no longer live in a mature society and we live in a society run by narcissistic infants, we no longer even have those conversations.
00:14:39.000 And so I had that dialogue at University of Illinois Chicago where I asked a student, I said, what do you think is a bigger threat to America?
00:14:47.000 Racism or fathers not being in the home?
00:14:51.000 And he said, racism, of course, obviously.
00:14:53.000 I said, okay, that's your position.
00:14:55.000 It's an insane position, but that is your position.
00:14:58.000 Tom Cotton employed this line of thinking.
00:15:01.000 It's very Socratic.
00:15:02.000 It's very rational.
00:15:03.000 You should always be asking yourselves a question, especially when you have a lot of pressing issues, an open border, a lot of kids killing themselves, drug overdoses.
00:15:12.000 What should the focus of our time, energy, and attention be?
00:15:16.000 And one of my most repulsive things that I have to hear from left-wingers is we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
00:15:23.000 I mean, there's a couple things that people say that I just can't stand.
00:15:27.000 One of them is at the end of the day.
00:15:31.000 And the other one is walk and chew gum at the same time.
00:15:34.000 Those things simultaneously drive me nuts because it just shows you haven't really thought through your position just at all.
00:15:38.000 You just kind of keep saying those things.
00:15:39.000 A lot of good people say at the end of the day, don't like it.
00:15:42.000 It's a filler term.
00:15:43.000 It really doesn't really mean anything.
00:15:44.000 Find something else to say.
00:15:46.000 So Tom Cotton is an opportunity to talk to Averill Haynes.
00:15:50.000 And Averill Haynes, being the head of the Director of National Intelligence, is really concerned about violent extremism in America.
00:16:00.000 And not the way that you might think of it, by the way.
00:16:03.000 She says that violent extremists, DVIs, domestic violent extremists, which really means white supremacists, she says they pose a more lethal threat to Americans than fentanyl. 0.97
00:16:14.000 Play cut 84. 0.97
00:16:16.000 On page 33, you write.
00:16:19.000 Transnational, racially, or ethnically motivated violent extremists continue to pose the most lethal threat to U.S. persons and interests.
00:16:29.000 Are you serious?
00:16:30.000 You seriously think that racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists are the most lethal threat that Americans face?
00:16:40.000 So, yes, sir, in terms of the number of people killed or wounded as a consequence.
00:16:46.000 How many people were killed by racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists in the United States last year?
00:16:52.000 I don't have the exact number for you right here, but I will get it for you.
00:16:56.000 How many people were killed by fentanyl in the United States last year?
00:17:00.000 As you know, it's over 100,000 for fentanyl.
00:17:02.000 So isn't that a more lethal threat?
00:17:05.000 Absolutely, but it's not being compared against fentanyl in that statement.
00:17:08.000 It's in the context of terrorist threat.
00:17:11.000 In the context of terrorist threat, I mean, I just have to go to this one website that talks about just Chicago.
00:17:17.000 So far in Chicago, there's been 102 homicides.
00:17:19.000 They're actually behind pace.
00:17:21.000 428 shot, 332 shot and wounded, and 96 total shot and killed.
00:17:27.000 That's just Chicago.
00:17:29.000 And Tom Cotton brings up a great point.
00:17:31.000 Does anyone know any quote-unquote domestic violent extremists that has killed somebody in your neighborhood anytime soon?
00:17:36.000 I know where gangbangers have killed somebody in neighborhoods nearby.
00:17:42.000 Happening all the time.
00:17:44.000 But no, the government doesn't care about fentanyl and all that.
00:17:46.000 They're trying, this is why the January 6th narrative was so important.
00:17:50.000 That's why they hate Tunker Carlson so much.
00:17:52.000 They need to try to create this super narrative that you are not allowed to question, that there's a bunch of angry white people that are trying to take over the government.
00:18:00.000 They can't have a counter narrative to that.
00:18:02.000 Not allowed.
00:18:04.000 And she says it.
00:18:04.000 She says, well, domestic violent extremists, it's just not true.
00:18:08.000 Tom Cotton flushed it out using a very simple question.
00:18:13.000 What matters more than this?
00:18:15.000 And the answer is quite a lot.

00:19:32.000 Noble Gold Investments.
00:19:36.000 I was doing some research on this Averill Haynes person, who apparently is the one that had the back and forth with Tom Cotton and the Guardian.
00:19:45.000 I mean, The Guardian.
00:19:47.000 Averill Haynes' unusual backstory makes her an unlikely chief for U.S. intelligence.
00:19:52.000 Oh, really?
00:19:53.000 And so then somebody sends this to me.
00:19:56.000 The former plane enthusiast, lawyer, and judo belt owned a cafe that staged erotica knights and worked for President Obama.
00:20:07.000 Wait, you're trying to say the erotica knights ended up working for Obama?
00:20:11.000 I think this is grammatically a little bit too close.
00:20:14.000 So I don't know what the hell an erotica night is.
00:20:17.000 So I googled it and it said you need to turn your safe search off in order to do that.
00:20:23.000 I'm not doing that.
00:20:25.000 I don't even know what it is. 0.99
00:20:26.000 And so then apparently in the article, it explains it, that this woman who's now running DNI bought brothels. 0.99
00:20:35.000 She opened a cafe in a formal brothel and then returned and then returned it to a brothel. 0.96
00:20:41.000 She's running ahead of the DNI. 0.92
00:20:43.000 She says, quote, erotica has become more prevalent because people are trying to have sex without having sex.
00:20:48.000 Others are trying to find new fantasies to make their monogamous relationships more satisfying.
00:20:54.000 What the erotic offers is spontaneity, twists, and turns, and it affects everybody. 1.00
00:20:59.000 This woman is a freak. 1.00
00:21:00.000 She should not be in our government. 0.99
00:21:01.000 So when I say the Biden administration has a team of freaks, I mean it's really strange.
00:21:08.000 Okay, I want to get into this here.
00:21:12.000 I think this is important.
00:21:13.000 So there's a lot of questions.
00:21:14.000 I'd love your thoughts to this.
00:21:15.000 You know, some people are saying, Charlie, you know, Turning Point Action should host debates.
00:21:20.000 I think that's a great idea.
00:21:22.000 I would love to host some debates for the RNC candidates, but apparently the RNC has their own process and don't quite understand it.
00:21:27.000 Vivek Ramaswamy, to his credit, is starting to speak out about it.
00:21:30.000 But I remain very clear about this, that any person running for the presidency is welcome on this program.
00:21:36.000 You'll get uninterrupted time.
00:21:38.000 You'll get respect.
00:21:39.000 And then you'll get some direct questions.
00:21:42.000 Anybody, Glenn Young, if he runs, Ron DeSantis is on this program.
00:21:47.000 Mike Pompeo, Nikki Haley.
00:21:49.000 We have a significant audience.
00:21:51.000 You guys have helped us build that.
00:21:53.000 Obviously, you're all part of that.
00:21:54.000 So if you are a part of the conservative movement, wouldn't you want to hear your conservative commentators ask questions of these people?
00:22:00.000 Okay.
00:22:00.000 Well, Tucker Carlson is really onto something.
00:22:02.000 He's done the same thing to his credit.
00:22:04.000 He's invited all these people on his program, specifically on the issue of Ukraine.
00:22:10.000 Now, it's easy to just kind of resort to abstractions on the issue of Ukraine.
00:22:18.000 It's hard to get into the details.
00:22:20.000 But since we are no longer a serious country, and I hope we are again, and we are run by grown infants, not mature adults, people don't actually go into detail about what it means to fund a $200 billion proxy war in Ukraine.
00:22:36.000 Play Cup 121.
00:22:37.000 But there is a presidential race coming up.
00:22:39.000 So now's the time to find out what people really think.
00:22:41.000 And by the way, good people can disagree on the subject.
00:22:43.000 We're not saying people disagree with those or evil.
00:22:45.000 We're saying we should know what they think now that they're standing for office.
00:22:50.000 So we've written a questionnaire for Republicans who may decide to jump into the race for president in 2024.
00:22:56.000 It's a very simple questionnaire.
00:22:58.000 Here are the questions.
00:23:00.000 First, is opposing Russia in Ukraine a vital American national strategic interest?
00:23:05.000 Is it really important or not?
00:23:06.000 And if so, why?
00:23:07.000 Two, what specifically is our objective in Ukraine?
00:23:10.000 And how will we know when we've achieved it?
00:23:12.000 What's our goal?
00:23:12.000 And how are we going to know when we've won?
00:23:14.000 If we don't know that, we should slow down.
00:23:16.000 Three, what is the limit of funding and materiel, military equipment, you would be willing to send to the government of Ukraine?
00:23:23.000 We're sending fighter jets.
00:23:24.000 Should we send nukes?
00:23:26.000 Four, should the United States support regime change in Russia?
00:23:30.000 Everyone hates Putin. 1.00
00:23:32.000 Should we kill him? 1.00
00:23:32.000 Is that a good idea? 1.00
00:23:33.000 What happens next?
00:23:34.000 Five, given that Russia's economy and currency are stronger than they were before the war, do you still believe that U.S. sanctions have been effective?
00:23:43.000 Everyone assumes that sanctions work.
00:23:44.000 Do they?
00:23:46.000 And finally, do you believe the United States faces the risk of nuclear war with Russia?
00:23:50.000 Really simple.
00:23:51.000 What are the stakes here?
00:23:53.000 So we sent these questions to people who have announced or seem like they might announce Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Ron DeSantis, Mike Pompeo, Mike Pence, Tim Scott, Glenn Youngkin, Chris Janunu, Christine Ohm, Greg Abbott, Chris Christie, Asa Hutchinson, and John Bolton.
00:24:10.000 We sent these questions with respect.
00:24:12.000 We sincerely want to know, we sincerely believe the public has a right to know their position on the biggest issue in the world right now, which is will there be a third world war.
00:24:21.000 And we said, we'll give you till Monday to reply.
00:24:25.000 That seemed fair.
00:24:26.000 And at that point, we'll let you know what they say.
00:24:29.000 Email usfreedom at charliekirk.com.
00:24:31.000 I'm taking your questions.
00:24:31.000 And Tucker Carlson is exactly right.
00:24:33.000 We should challenge every single person running for the presidency.
00:24:36.000 What is your position?
00:24:38.000 What is the limit of funding?
00:24:40.000 And what does success look like?
00:24:43.000 What does success look like?
00:24:46.000 Why are you not going through constitutional norms and customs to get this done?
00:24:53.000 I'm going to get to a pattern here that is very positive.
00:24:55.000 I know there's a lot of negative news out there.
00:24:57.000 I'm really encouraged to see how many red states are stepping up to pass laws to protect minors, laws that reflect the will of their voters.
00:25:08.000 And this goes to show the power of conservative media, the power of storytelling.
00:25:14.000 Matt Walsh, who I have said this on a program, I said this when Michael Moz was on the program.
00:25:19.000 Matt Walsh did one of the most amazing pieces of film I've ever seen when it comes to the topic of transgenderism and the protecting the innocence of children.
00:25:30.000 And I'm a tough sell.
00:25:31.000 What is a woman? 0.79
00:25:33.000 He does the movie.
00:25:34.000 And months later, Tennessee actually listens to their voters.
00:25:38.000 And Governor Bill Lee signs a ban on gender transition treatments for minors.
00:25:43.000 Do you remember?
00:25:44.000 Let's try to get this clip.
00:25:46.000 It would be tough.
00:25:46.000 It might be tough to get quickly.
00:25:48.000 But do you remember Asa Hutchinson, the Walmart shill that used to be governor of Arkansas?
00:25:54.000 Asa Hutchinson, two years ago, this is how based the conservative movement has become.
00:26:01.000 Two years ago, Asa Hutchinson went on Tucker Carlson's program and defended vetoing this exact bill.
00:26:12.000 And Tucker Carlson said, what are you talking about?
00:26:13.000 It's chemical castration.
00:26:15.000 And Asa Hutchinson thought he could say, oh, yeah, it's the party of Reagan. 1.00
00:26:19.000 And Asa Hutchinson was made a fool. 0.97
00:26:21.000 And that was the end of Asa Hutchinson's political career. 0.99
00:26:23.000 He's a shill for big business.
00:26:25.000 He doesn't care about children.
00:26:26.000 And he is by all means, in all measures, a pro-trans Republican.
00:26:30.000 Now, Asa Hutchinson doesn't like it when you talk about that.
00:26:33.000 But then he thought he could go on Tucker Carlson and win Tucker over.
00:26:36.000 And Tucker eviscerated him.
00:26:37.000 He obliterated him with questions using the Socratic method. 0.74
00:26:41.000 Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee, to his great credit, has decided to not go in that direction.
00:26:48.000 Governor Bill Lee listens to his voters.
00:26:49.000 He saw what happened to Asa Hutchinson.
00:26:51.000 And Governor Bill Lee decided to pass, actually sign the bill.
00:26:57.000 By the way, in Arkansas, they ended up overriding Hutchinson's veto, just so we're clear.
00:27:02.000 So it wasn't thanks to Hutchinson, but it is thankfully law in Arkansas.
00:27:06.000 Let's play Cut 12, please.
00:27:08.000 Tennessee Governor Bill Lee just signed two headline-making bills covering drag shows and gender-affirming care for trans youth.
00:27:17.000 Now, the drag show bill, as some call it, adds male and female impersonators to a state law on adult cabaret performances, limiting drag shows, exotic dancing, et cetera, where children are present or on public property.
00:27:29.000 Governor Lee also signing a bill that bans gender transition surgery and puberty blocking medication for children in the state.
00:27:37.000 This should not be controversial, and I can't stand that phrase, gender-affirming care.
00:27:45.000 Gender affirming care.
00:27:46.000 Sounds so lovely. 1.00
00:27:48.000 And then we put you under for surgery for three hours and chop off your breasts, but it sounds really nice. 1.00
00:27:53.000 Gender affirming care. 0.99
00:27:55.000 Happening thousands and thousands of times a year now.
00:28:00.000 At a recent event, somebody asked me and they said, Charlie, what do we have to do to try to bring men back in America, men back to a place of strength and a place where we have appropriate balances between men and women?
00:28:16.000 And I said something that I've said before, but I think I said it better at this event than I've said it at any time because it seemed to receive very positive response both in the room and online, which is I talked about the need for responsibility.
00:28:32.000 Sounds very obvious.
00:28:33.000 It sounds self-evident.
00:28:36.000 However, it really hasn't been for quite some time.
00:28:39.000 You see, we should be teaching young people, which we're not in our government schools and far too often not in our Christian or our private schools, that your duties or your obligations matter more than your feelings, matters more than you.
00:28:58.000 And you could, if you embrace a proper moral approach to this, then it can make sense of your suffering.
00:29:10.000 If you are suffering and you say, man, I had a tough day, I'm not sleeping, but you understand the good that you are attempting to do, raise children, trying to fight back against evil, then you could persevere.
00:29:26.000 For example, this week, haven't felt my best.
00:29:29.000 You could probably tell a little bit in my voice.
00:29:31.000 I'm doing my best to fight through it, but I have an obligation.
00:29:35.000 Do you know what drove me this week, what drove me this week to keep traveling and to keep going and taking as many vitamins as I can?
00:29:42.000 Is I felt an obligation to the audience, you, to keep doing a program.
00:29:47.000 I felt an obligation to the audience that was going to attend our campus events, both in Kentucky and Chicago.
00:29:53.000 I felt an obligation and a duty.
00:29:56.000 So it was not as important of whether or not I didn't feel my best.
00:30:00.000 It was whether or not what was I supposed to do, what men ought to do.
00:30:06.000 Our team did find the clip here, and I want to get to it with Asa Hutchinson.
00:30:11.000 But let me summarize responsibility in this way.
00:30:15.000 Responsibility, you can test whether or not you are responsible for something or someone by this question.
00:30:23.000 If you don't show up tomorrow, is somebody going to have a tough day?
00:30:28.000 If the answer is yes, then you have responsibility in your life.
00:30:32.000 The answer is no, then you don't.
00:30:33.000 You need to find responsibility.
00:30:35.000 Find something difficult, something that is good, and do that thing.
00:30:40.000 All right, I just have to play this tape.
00:30:42.000 This is Tucker Carlson ending the political career of Asa Hutchinson.
00:30:46.000 And we're seeing more and more red states stand up for what is right, Play Cup 124.
00:30:50.000 Why do you think it's important for conservatives to make certain that children can block their puberty, be chemically castrated?
00:30:58.000 Why is that a conservative value, if you would tell us?
00:31:01.000 Well, first of all, you have parents involved in very difficult decisions.
00:31:06.000 You have physicians that are involved in these decisions.
00:31:10.000 And I go back to William Buckley.
00:31:13.000 I go back to Ronald Reagan, the principles of our party, which believes in a limited role of government.
00:31:19.000 Are we as a party abandoning a limited role of government and saying we're going to invoke the government decision-making over and above physicians, over and above health care, over and above parents, and saying, do you believe it's healthy?
00:31:35.000 How deeply have you studied this topic?
00:31:37.000 With respect, it doesn't sound like you've studied it very deeply.
00:31:40.000 The answer is not at all because he's a shill for the Walmart family and for the pharmaceutical industrial complex.
00:31:47.000 And it's just, I just love this clip.
00:31:49.000 We've talked about it before on air at length because he hasn't studied anything different deeply.
00:31:54.000 So all he does, he just throws up, well, Bill Buckley and Ronald Reagan, small government.
00:31:59.000 No, no, no, we believe in a small but strong government focused on what a government should do, like protecting children.
00:32:06.000 And he says, oh, well, physicians, that's not persuasive at all.
00:32:10.000 Physicians can do a lot of damage to people, a lot of damage, and they have done a lot of damage in these last couple of years.
00:32:17.000 How many physicians willingly went along with the blackout of ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamin D supplementation, ozone therapy, IV therapy?
00:32:28.000 He's like, oh, well, it's the physicians.
00:32:29.000 And then he says, well, it's the parents.
00:32:30.000 Unfortunately, parents get emotionally blackmailed into these situations.
00:32:36.000 He says, well, I don't want to increase the size and scope of the government.
00:32:39.000 It's really not even a matter of that.
00:32:41.000 It's a matter of a very basic function of government, very basic.
00:32:47.000 That children deserve to be protected.
00:32:51.000 Governor Isa Hutchinson is an irrelevant political figure. 1.00
00:32:54.000 Tucker Carlson made sure of that.
00:32:55.000 And any Republican that stands against the parents' party will also be put into political irrelevance.
00:33:02.000 And I'm glad Governor Lee listened to his voters and did the right thing.
00:33:08.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
