00:00:57.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:58.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:00.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:04.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:07.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:08.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:09.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:11.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:18.000 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.

00:01:26.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:41.000 You probably saw the viral video over the last couple of days.

00:01:45.000 We covered it extensively yesterday of the drag show for kids in Dallas, Texas.

00:01:51.000 There was one man who actually went to the, or tried to go to intervene and be an adult and do what was actually necessary.

00:02:02.000 That's Alex Stein, number 99.

00:02:05.000 I think I got that right.

00:02:06.000 He's hilarious.

00:02:08.000 Alex, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:02:11.000 Charlie, you're a legend.

00:02:12.000 Oh my gosh, you're calling me 99.

00:02:14.000 I feel like I made it.

00:02:15.000 You know, the man, the myth, the legend, Charlie, thank you for having me on.

00:02:18.000 I really appreciate it.

00:02:20.000 Your reputation precedes you.

00:02:22.000 The thing you, when you went to the school board meeting in Dallas, it's one of the funniest things I've seen in a very long time.

00:02:29.000 And so you went to this drag show.

00:02:32.000 They didn't let you in.

00:02:33.000 So they're obviously, I don't know, homophobic or something.

00:02:36.000 Like, walk us through this.

00:02:38.000 Well, listen, this is the thing about this drag show. 1.00

00:02:41.000 And, you know, in our culture right now, they're doing the drag queen story time at the public library.

00:02:46.000 Now, that's disgusting.

00:02:46.000 That's terrible, Charlie, but at least that's out in the open.

00:02:49.000 What this was, this was more sinister than that because they had a clear window.

00:02:53.000 And once they did it, they put paper over the window.

00:02:55.000 So they didn't want people in there.

00:02:57.000 And obviously, we did get some agent provocateurs.

00:02:59.000 Taylor Hanson got in, although Isabella Reilly, a few people did get in that I was in a group with, but they immediately recognized me and didn't let me in.

00:03:07.000 But what I'm saying is, Charlie, this had the vibe of when you're in college and the drug dealer gives you the first drug.

00:03:12.000 The first drug's always free in the drug culture.

00:03:14.000 You know, it's like your first hit, like come to a bar.

00:03:17.000 But the reason why it was so sinister is they were attacking children. 0.97

00:03:20.000 Now, listen, if you're gay, you're trans, you're drag queen, whatever, go do that in your own time. 0.88

00:03:26.000 You don't need to involve little children. 0.98

00:03:28.000 So, what this was is this was pure indoctrination, Charlie.

00:03:31.000 And this was an attack on these children.

00:03:33.000 And it gave me the vibrational energy that they're almost feasting on the purity and vulnerability of these children.

00:03:39.000 And they were loving it like a, you know, like a vampire, like a Dracula almost.

00:03:44.000 Cut 11, Alex Stein being denied entry to the drag show.

00:03:48.000 Play cut 11.

00:03:49.000 I'm the entry.

00:03:50.000 They're being bigoted.

00:03:52.000 They're bigoted.

00:03:52.000 They're not letting me in here.

00:03:54.000 I can't believe they're not letting me in a gay, Bartha. 1.00

00:03:56.000 You guys are inclusives, man.

00:03:59.000 Are you guys trying to be inclusive?

00:04:00.000 They're not letting me in the gay bar.

00:04:03.000 Look how inclusive this is.

00:04:06.000 Look how inclusive they are here.

00:04:09.000 It just looked like a circus.

00:04:10.000 Do you do you visit?

00:04:11.000 Do you try to go to these like drag queen things?

00:04:13.000 You know, like what made you go to this?

00:04:15.000 I don't quite understand.

00:04:17.000 Well, because it was getting national news.

00:04:18.000 Libs of TikTok shared it.

00:04:20.000 And I'm, you know, I'm friends with Libs of TikTok. 1.00

00:04:22.000 And this is the thing, Charlie.

00:04:23.000 You know, everybody has a different approach.

00:04:24.000 I'm a comedian.

00:04:25.000 My, you know, role model is a guy, Andy Coffin.

00:04:28.000 And what he did is he liked to blur the line of reality in fiction. 0.99

00:04:30.000 And what that does is that makes people ask a question because everybody is stuck on stupid, Charlie. 1.00

00:04:35.000 They're just at the wheel. 1.00

00:04:36.000 You know, they got their bills to pay.

00:04:38.000 They got, you know, their ex-girlfriend, their ex-wife, whatever.

00:04:41.000 Whatever stuff they have to distract them from life, they're not actually seeing the big picture.

00:04:45.000 They're not even seeing what's really going on.

00:04:47.000 So what I like to do with my humor is called culture jamming.

00:04:50.000 I take the worst parts of our culture and jam it in people's face so they can't not see it.

00:04:55.000 It has to be right in front of their face.

00:04:57.000 And once they see it and they question the reality in which they live in, they start asking questions.

00:05:01.000 And that's what we have to do because we don't get our people and our young people to ask enough questions about what's going on.

00:05:07.000 I mean, look, mockery is so strong.

00:05:08.000 The left used to do this to us.

00:05:10.000 They did it really well.

00:05:11.000 I mean, Bill Maher used to do it to religious people.

00:05:13.000 He had the film Religilist.

00:05:15.000 And now they're the ones that we should be mocking and we should be doing it relentlessly.

00:05:20.000 And so I actually typed your name into Google.

00:05:24.000 And did you see this article from LGBTQ Nation?

00:05:27.000 They say Christo fascist. 0.97

00:05:29.000 What the heck is a Christo fascist? 0.99

00:05:31.000 Sounds like a drug. 0.99

00:05:33.000 I don't know, Charlie.

00:05:34.000 They keep calling us fascists, but I mean, I believe the definition of fascism is, you know, the merger of corporation and state.

00:05:40.000 And that's what they want with the mandatory vaccines.

00:05:43.000 I mean, that's what they want.

00:05:44.000 These people that like were the Occupy Wall Street were anti-government and anti-establishment.

00:05:48.000 Are no, oh, I love the establishment.

00:05:50.000 Oh, establish it.

00:05:51.000 Give it to me, Daddy.

00:05:52.000 So that's what we are. 0.98

00:05:53.000 We're in the clown world. 0.94

00:05:54.000 And listen, Charlie, it's kind of funny how now I'm considered conservative, but really in this day and age, it's the Overton window has gone so far left that if you don't think a nine-year-old should be on puberty blockers or gender reassignment surgery, you're a bigot. 0.98

00:06:06.000 You're a Trumper.

00:06:07.000 You're a MAGA hat.

00:06:07.000 So that's what they've done is they've gone so far left with the absurdity.

00:06:11.000 They've taken us into the clown world, Charlie.

00:06:13.000 And what I try to do as a comedian is just be politically incorrect.

00:06:16.000 And you mentioned Bill Maher.

00:06:17.000 Now, Bill Maher, his politics are terrible, but he made such a good point.

00:06:20.000 The amount of kids that have transitioned or are on gender reassignment hormones in LA compared to Cleveland, Ohio is 10,000% more.

00:06:28.000 So what that means is we have parents that are making this decision.

00:06:32.000 Having a trans kid is like having a vegan cat. 1.00

00:06:34.000 The owner is making that decision.

00:06:36.000 The cat's not making that decision.

00:06:38.000 The kid's not making that decision.

00:06:39.000 And that's what was sick about this thing, Charlie, is there was kids that wanted to play on their video games and the parents are like, no, no, pay attention to the drag queen. 0.76

00:06:46.000 Go tip the drag queen. 1.00

00:06:47.000 Very weird.

00:06:48.000 Yeah, I mean, I never thought I'd be like saying, I wish kids were playing video games.

00:06:52.000 And so.

00:06:54.000 So we are living under rainbow fascism.

00:06:56.000 That's for sure.

00:06:58.000 So I want to play this tape here and like how tolerant these people are.

00:07:01.000 They start screaming at you.

00:07:03.000 Play cut 13 as you confront one of the drag performers. 0.98

00:07:08.000 And I just want to remind people, and Alex, it's not an exaggeration, right?

00:07:11.000 It said it's not going to lick itself.

00:07:13.000 Is that right?

00:07:15.000 Charlie, all these people on the left or all the, you know, the people, the gay advocates that are trying to say, oh, this was just a family-friendly event.

00:07:21.000 This was so sexualized. 0.93

00:07:22.000 This was at a gay bar that has sexual innuendos all over it. 1.00

00:07:26.000 I mean, it's just, you know, that's how they do it. 0.92

00:07:28.000 It's they lull you to sleep with all these innuendos. 0.96

00:07:31.000 The drinks had sexual names, buttery nipples and all this stuff. 0.95

00:07:34.000 So it's not a place for little kids to be hanging out in a bar.

00:07:37.000 And you know, at TPUSA, you have all these young college kids going to a bar in college was the coolest thing ever.

00:07:42.000 So it indoctrinates these kids.

00:07:44.000 They think they're at some cool place, and really they're at a sinister, evil place as well.

00:07:48.000 It's not even subtle.

00:07:49.000 I mean, you have a neon sign that says not going to lick itself.

00:07:52.000 I mean, if you and I said that to like a random woman on the street, we'd either get arrested, tased, shot, or, you know, reported to some HR, you know, regime.

00:08:01.000 Okay, play cut 13.

00:08:03.000 Little children.

00:08:03.000 Do you like dancing for little children?

00:08:06.000 You don't think that's disgusting?

00:08:09.000 Dancing around for little children. 0.54

00:08:11.000 Don't you think that's disgusting?

00:08:13.000 I need you to get away from that. 0.97

00:08:15.000 Hey, well, you can't just touch me.

00:08:16.000 You don't think that's-you don't think about it.

00:08:20.000 You don't think that's disgusting?

00:08:22.000 Dancing for little children. 0.99

00:08:25.000 You should be ashamed of yourself.

00:08:27.000 They should be arrested for child abuse, and God bless you for calling them out and putting them on camera.

00:08:31.000 One of them is the guy named Andrew Carroll.

00:08:33.000 He wants to be a teacher.

00:08:35.000 Of course, no correlation, obviously, right? 0.89

00:08:37.000 You know, likes little kids and performing them sexually.

00:08:40.000 Of course, we should allow them into Texas public schools. 0.63

00:08:43.000 Your reaction.

00:08:45.000 Well, listen, you could tell by that dancer, I think they go by Noel Sinclair.

00:08:49.000 And if you look at their Instagram, which they actually deactivated, they were making subtle jokes about wanting to get pizza, which we know is a declassified FBI term for child sex trafficking.

00:08:58.000 So listen, I'm the host of the Conspiracy Castle.

00:09:00.000 I can talk all days about conspiracy, but there was no conspiracy here today.

00:09:03.000 She was dancing and simulating sex in front of children, and she felt, or excuse me, he felt shame when I confronted him.

00:09:10.000 That's why they got so triggered.

00:09:12.000 So listen, really and truly, like I said earlier, she wants to do that for adults.

00:09:17.000 That's okay.

00:09:17.000 But when you call them out for doing in front of children, you could tell that shame.

00:09:21.000 She wanted to get in the car and he, I'm sorry, I keep on misgendering, wanted to get the heck out of there, Charlie, because they couldn't, you know, they couldn't face the music.

00:09:28.000 And that's why we need to do this.

00:09:29.000 I'm not even trying to do the virtual signal, but we need to call these people out because people are too afraid of sounding homophobic or bigoted.

00:09:36.000 And so they just sit and let all this stuff happen.

00:09:38.000 And that's the problem in society.

00:09:39.000 He was joking about the pizza thing, by the way.

00:09:43.000 We have a full-time person at Media Matters that watches everything we're doing.

00:09:46.000 Or maybe the pizza thing's a joke.

00:09:48.000 The pizza thing's a joke.

00:09:50.000 Listen, it doesn't matter about that.

00:09:51.000 We're not here to talk about pizza.

00:09:52.000 We're not here to talk about conspiracy.

00:09:54.000 What we're here to talk about is the cut and dry stuff we can see with our eyes.

00:09:57.000 We were at a bar for 21-year-olds and there were children in there and all their parents are bringing them in there and indoctrinating them in a culture that they are not ready for.

00:10:06.000 If it was the other way around, it was a heterosexual strip club and kids are in there. 1.00

00:10:09.000 People would be going crazy.

00:10:10.000 So this is the one problem, though, too, Charlie, is that right now it's getting a lot of attention and it's distracting us from what's really going on, the inflation, the gas prices, the fact we're giving the Ukraine all of this money.

00:10:20.000 So now we're in this culture war.

00:10:22.000 It's similar to the vaccine.

00:10:23.000 It's similar to all this stuff that we're arguing, Roe versus Wade.

00:10:26.000 It's all this stuff to distract us, which is all important stuff.

00:10:29.000 But really, the big picture is they want us to keep fighting each other so we don't actually go after the people that are causing us all.

00:10:34.000 That's exactly right.

00:10:35.000 Alex Stein, he's smart.

00:10:37.000 He's going somewhere.

00:10:38.000 I said the other day, I said, there haven't been very many new voices on the scene the last couple of years.

00:10:41.000 He's one of them.

00:10:42.000 He's onto something special.

00:10:43.000 You mock these people until they run into their cars and call the cops, the same ones they want to defund.

00:10:49.000 So, Alex, are you banned from Twitter?

00:10:50.000 Is that right?

00:10:51.000 Oh, you got the cat?

00:10:52.000 Yeah, the cat walked in.

00:10:53.000 This is Kyle.

00:10:54.000 Yes, get out of here, Kyle.

00:10:55.000 Okay, I'm currently locked out of my life.

00:10:57.000 His name is Kyle.

00:10:58.000 Okay, yeah.

00:10:59.000 Yeah, he drinks monster energy, Charlie.

00:11:01.000 But listen, what I'm trying to say is about my Twitter.

00:11:03.000 And I wanted to tell you one thing because I have your ear and it's a short time.

00:11:06.000 So you said, you said something so nice that, you know, I'm an upcoming new voice, but let me just tell you a quick story about what's going on in the world.

00:11:12.000 This past year, we've had over 108,000 drug overdose deaths, more than we've ever had in recorded history.

00:11:17.000 The media is dead silent.

00:11:19.000 I worked for a TV show, a reality TV show called Cheaters, where we catch people cheating on their husbands and wives.

00:11:23.000 I signed an NDA.

00:11:24.000 So I can only say so much about the intricacies of the show.

00:11:27.000 But the host was a guy named Clark Gable.

00:11:29.000 He was Clark Gable's grandson, the guy, the actor from Gone with the Wind.

00:11:32.000 He had a high drug tolerance, Charlie.

00:11:34.000 But one night after we were done filming season 17, he took a pill.

00:11:38.000 He went and bought some oxycodone that had fentanyl in it, woke up dead.

00:11:41.000 And I'm not saying that jokingly, but he wasn't even partying.

00:11:44.000 He took the pills to go to sleep and never woke up.

00:11:46.000 And that changed my life, Charlie.

00:11:48.000 I quit drinking.

00:11:48.000 I quit doing anything that I ever did because it just scared me to death.

00:11:52.000 He was my same age, but the point of the story is they said, Alex, you're going to be the next host of cheaters.

00:11:57.000 And I thought that was so great.

00:11:58.000 Even though my friend died, it was like two months after I'm getting my life together.

00:12:01.000 I'm so depressed about him, but I think it's just a good opportunity.

00:12:03.000 And then the show, which the production companies was distributed by Viacom, which is owned by MTV.

00:12:08.000 So, of course, when it came time to pick the host, they picked a 52-year-old DJ from New York and they decided not to go with me.

00:12:15.000 But Charlie, at the time, I was so bummed out.

00:12:17.000 This was April of 2020.

00:12:19.000 It was the best thing that happened to me because that's when I started creating content.

00:12:22.000 And that's when I started going to meetings.

00:12:23.000 And I would go to these city council meetings and I would speak very seriously.

00:12:26.000 And I would say, why are you shutting down the public restrooms at the park?

00:12:29.000 We should go outside and walk.

00:12:30.000 You know, how it is walking outside of the park stop the spread of a virus.

00:12:35.000 You know, I went there and I just talked about this very earnestly. 0.99

00:12:37.000 They looked at me like I was an idiot, like I was a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist. 0.98

00:12:41.000 They weren't necessarily wrong, but they didn't give me any sort of attention. 0.96

00:12:43.000 They were the NPCs, the non-playable characters.

00:12:46.000 And like you said earlier, the mockery, once I started mocking them, we have a mayor here, Eric Johnson.

00:12:51.000 I said, you know, Eric Johnson, it would be awesome if you win the gay community and gave free Johnson and Johnson from Eric Johnson. 0.87

00:12:57.000 They would love the double entendre, just like, you know, how the gay club had had, it's not going to lick itself.

00:13:02.000 And then I saw his eyes get really big.

00:13:04.000 And I noticed that the humor is how we try to bring these people down to our level because all these politicians are so self-righteous, Charlie.

00:13:11.000 You deal with them all the time because you fundraise for them.

00:13:13.000 And that's the problem: these people get in position and then they're bought and sold by these political action communities.

00:13:18.000 So they sell their soul.

00:13:20.000 So I guess what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to use mockery in order to call these people out on the right and the left.

00:13:26.000 Obviously, I'm more conservative, but we have a lot of rhinos and I know you call them out, but that, but that's what we have to do is because the right wing and the left wing are on the same bird. 0.52

00:13:34.000 I know everybody knows that cliche, but we have to somehow call out these people that are selling our country out for multinational corporations like Pfizer, like Apple, like Disney, that's going to edit John Boyega out of the poster in China or is not going to post the same gay flag in Saudi Arabia. 0.98

00:13:50.000 So these corporations that are running our country, Charlie, are all hypocrites. 0.96

00:13:54.000 So my goal is to use comedy to call out that hypocrisy. 0.97

00:13:58.000 And I've been successful with it.

00:13:59.000 And I really appreciate you for noticing.

00:14:01.000 I think it's just the start.

00:14:02.000 And I know talent when I see it and you have it.

00:14:05.000 And you just got to keep working.

00:14:06.000 This is one of my favorite ones.

00:14:07.000 I got to play it.

00:14:07.000 It's a little in the archives.

00:14:08.000 Cut 43, Alex Stein, number 99.

00:14:10.000 When I saw this, my wife will tell you it was the hardest I left in like, I think, a decade.

00:14:16.000 It was one of the great things ever.

00:14:17.000 Play Cut 43.

00:14:18.000 Hello.

00:14:19.000 How are you guys doing, Council?

00:14:21.000 So my name is Alexandria Stein, and I'm here today to call out transphobia here in Plano.

00:14:26.000 I'm currently being restricted from swimming in the City of Plano Swim League against the women, even though it's clear that I reassigned my gender last week.

00:14:35.000 Like, for example, do I look like a man?

00:14:38.000 Obviously, I'm not.

00:14:39.000 This is a woman, but they're not going to let me swim and compete against the ladies because of transphobia. 1.00

00:14:44.000 So what I need you guys to do is I need you to wake up.

00:14:47.000 We have champions like Leah Thomas. 0.98

00:14:49.000 She's an NCAA champion, the best swimmer in college today.

00:14:53.000 I can't get a scholarship unless I'm able to send a recruiting tape to these colleges.

00:14:59.000 Your thoughts, Alex, got a minute left.

00:15:01.000 Well, listen, that's where we're at.

00:15:02.000 Leah Thomas swam on the men's team for three years, ranked 457th, then got to go swim on the women's team and won multiple national championships.

00:15:09.000 And the media cheerleads is that goes against the 17 other women that he had to compete against that spent their whole entire life in a pool, only to lose to a female that just recently had hormone therapy, but still has their genitalia of a male and still likes women. 0.94

00:15:22.000 So we're in the clown world, Charlie.

00:15:23.000 And I appreciate you letting me come on your platform because I know it's huge. 0.54

00:15:26.000 You're on the grind.

00:15:27.000 They say I'm on the grind.

00:15:29.000 You're really on the grind.

00:15:30.000 I'm trying to get to the Charlie Kirk grind.

00:15:32.000 And one day, hopefully, I'll just get a little, I'll get a little bit close to your level.

00:15:36.000 I don't think I'll ever get that big, but primetime 99 is aiming for you, Charlie.

00:15:39.000 I really appreciate all the hard work.

00:15:42.000 We need more patriots and we need more humor.

00:15:44.000 I'm telling humor goes to a different part of the brain immediately.

00:15:50.000 It can activate people to see things in a way they otherwise wouldn't.

00:15:52.000 Alex, thank you so much.

00:15:53.000 Keep it the great work.

00:15:54.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:15:59.000 Look, the world situation is getting worse every single day.

00:17:20.000 Preparewithkirk.com.

00:17:24.000 With us right now is Terry Schilling.

00:17:27.000 I spent a whole week with Terry in Las Vegas, but we were not doing what you might think we would be doing in Las Vegas, right, Terry?

00:17:34.000 We were reading old books and talking about philosophy.

00:17:37.000 It was with the great Claremont Institute.

00:17:40.000 It was in Vegas, I guess, because it was the only place they could find on the West Coast that would be open and actually has the hotel capacity.

00:17:46.000 But Terry Schilling runs a phenomenal organization that everyone needs to get behind, and they do such a great job.

00:17:52.000 And American Principles Project, and they also have a PAC.

00:17:56.000 And Terry, you have a great article out: Defeating this Gender-bending Republican will help protect American women nationwide. 0.92

00:18:04.000 Walk us through it.

00:18:06.000 Well, Charlie, for the last several years, we've seen the Republican Party completely acquiesce to the LGBT movement. 0.82

00:18:13.000 They started with getting Republicans to support the Equality Act, which, just for your viewers and listeners, it would put sexual orientation into gender and gender identity into civil rights law.

00:18:24.000 It's a total nightmare.

00:18:25.000 Men and girls' showers, men and women's sports, men in women's prisons.

00:18:29.000 It's a total nightmare.

00:18:30.000 Well, along the way, the Republicans who are soft on this stuff came up with a quote-unquote compromise bill, and it's called the Fairness for All Act.

00:18:40.000 And they say that they have religious freedom protections in it.

00:18:43.000 So what we wanted to do this year is make politicians, Republicans, pay a price for supporting this law.

00:18:51.000 And Nancy Mace is one of the last Republicans on this bill. 0.98

00:18:55.000 Charlie, we've actually, this bill is so extreme that we've actually gotten more moderate members off of this bill.

00:19:01.000 Claudia Tenney is off of it.

00:19:04.000 There are several others.

00:19:05.000 I'm just blanking on them right now, but we've gotten five members of Congress off of this bill, including Elise Stefanik.

00:19:11.000 That's the highest profile Republicans gotten off of it.

00:19:14.000 But Nancy Mace is still on it. 1.00

00:19:15.000 And this bill would put men in women's prisons, men and women's sports. 0.99

00:19:19.000 It would put men in women's locker rooms, the whole shebang. 1.00

00:19:22.000 And we decided to run $100,000 worth of campaign ads against her with a really powerful spot to ensure that politicians know: if you hurt our families, if you hurt our daughters, if you hurt our moms and our women, we're going to come for you and we're going to make you pay a political price when it comes to your election. 0.75

00:19:39.000 So, but Nancy Mace is in a race against Katie Arrington. 1.00

00:19:43.000 Is that right?

00:19:43.000 Because of redistricting, is that correct?

00:19:47.000 No, so partly because of redistricting, but because Nancy Mace has such an abhorrent record and is not a conservative, she actually attracted three primary challengers. 0.90

00:19:58.000 One of them actually just got out, Lynn's Piper Loomis, and she endorsed Katie Arrington along with President Trump, who's also endorsed Katie Arrington.

00:20:06.000 So we're getting behind Katie Arrington, who's actually has signed our big family pledge, right?

00:20:11.000 This is a pledge that says that you'll protect children from pornography online.

00:20:15.000 You'll pass age verification laws. 0.94

00:20:17.000 You'll protect kids from gender ideology in school and critical race theory. 0.94

00:20:20.000 And you'll work to ban sex changes for minors.

00:20:23.000 These are all very common sense things, right?

00:20:25.000 And Katie Arrington had no problem signing it.

00:20:28.000 It was a no-brainer for her.

00:20:29.000 So you bring up some super smart points.

00:20:31.000 So first of all, Nancy Mace is so disingenuous. 1.00

00:20:34.000 In a world that many people have forgotten, she used to pretend to be a grassroots conservative and she primaried Lindsey Graham. 0.90

00:20:41.000 This was like six or eight years ago.

00:20:43.000 So she used to like, that just goes to show kind of the opportunist part.

00:20:47.000 So you go to her website, right?

00:20:50.000 Nancymacemace.org.

00:20:52.000 Do you know that last week she sent out a press release saying that we have to protect girls' sports on her website?

00:20:58.000 I mean, that's just like a pure transparent fraud, is it not?

00:21:03.000 It is.

00:21:04.000 And she actually got caught lying about that bill.

00:21:07.000 She said that she co-sponsored the Fairness and Women's Sports Act that Greg Stuby introduced.

00:21:11.000 She's not on the bill, Charlie.

00:21:13.000 So she's lying about that.

00:21:14.000 She made that announcement the same day that we announced we were spending $100,000 against her with the campaign ad that attacks her for supporting men and women's sports. 0.97

00:21:24.000 And by the way, this Fairness and Women's Sports Act, it's not as strong as civil rights law, right?

00:21:30.000 Like in the 1960s, they crafted civil rights law to be very powerful.

00:21:34.000 And so if you put gender identity into civil rights law versus the Women's Sports Act, you're not going to do what you want it to do. 1.00

00:21:42.000 Civil rights law trumps everything else. 0.96

00:21:45.000 It's really terrible.

00:21:46.000 It's dishonest.

00:21:46.000 And she's been caught lying on this.

00:21:49.000 She's not a good person.

00:21:50.000 What is the fairness?

00:21:51.000 Tell me more about this Fairness for All Act.

00:21:54.000 So what it would do is it would restrict Title IX funding based on whether or not schools allow for boys to compete in girls' sports.

00:22:03.000 So if you're a school, let's say in Illinois, in I'm sorry, the Fairness for All Act.

00:22:10.000 That's what you want to do.

00:22:11.000 Sorry, I was describing the Fairness and Women's Sports Act.

00:22:14.000 No, but she signed onto that bill.

00:22:17.000 So I'm just curious what that one is.

00:22:20.000 So the Fairness for All Act, which is the LGBT bill, that would put gender identity in all parts of civil rights law, including public accommodations.

00:22:29.000 So let's say you're a school and you want to have sex-based bathrooms and sex-based privacy facilities for women. 1.00

00:22:37.000 You can't have that.

00:22:37.000 And if a man says that he's a woman, he gets to go into the women's locker room.

00:22:41.000 It also applies to prisons.

00:22:43.000 It applies to better women's shelters.

00:22:45.000 It's a total nightmare, Charlie.

00:22:47.000 And you have to ask yourself, why are we doing this?

00:22:50.000 What cultural power does the transgender and LGBT lobby not have right now? 0.82

00:22:55.000 You're not getting fired for being gay. 0.77

00:22:57.000 You're not being fired for being transgender. 0.89

00:22:59.000 You're being fired for being Christian now, right?

00:23:02.000 You're being canceled and harassed for being someone that believes in just two genders, right?

00:23:06.000 Why are we giving them even more cultural power and legal power now when they've already been abusing the power that we've given them?

00:23:14.000 The small little bit of power that they've been given.

00:23:16.000 But it's just so frustrating.

00:23:17.000 So you articulated that really well.

00:23:19.000 And I just want to reinforce, though, if you go to her website, she makes it seem as if she's a big proponent of the opposite.

00:23:26.000 When in reality, she's the Republican sponsor of the bill that would destroy the very, and I want the reason I'm nationalizing this, though, Terry, is that everyone has to learn to dive deeper than just the campaign website, just the literature and propaganda.

00:23:41.000 So, if you go to her website, you know, she says that, you know, right here, she says we have to stop Biden's runaway inflation, secure the border, put parents in charge.

00:23:54.000 Can you talk, Terry, on how these Republicans, they have these consultants that put these little sound bites and they wear camouflage, but in reality, they are no different than Democrats when it comes to policy.

00:24:06.000 No, that's exactly right, Charlie.

00:24:08.000 The Republicans will, we, we, I get all these interviews, right?

00:24:12.000 And they ask us, well, why isn't this just more of the Republican-led culture wars?

00:24:17.000 What Republican-led culture wars?

00:24:20.000 We have been on the defense for so long.

00:24:22.000 And the reason we have this, Charlie, is because of these campaign consultants.

00:24:26.000 They talk a good game.

00:24:27.000 They get their candidates to say good things.

00:24:29.000 But when it comes time to actually doing it, they do nothing.

00:24:32.000 And you have to look no further than President Trump, right?

00:24:35.000 President Trump became pro-life basically yesterday and did more in his administration than all of the previous Republican presidents ever.

00:24:45.000 He was the most pro-life president, period.

00:24:48.000 And it was just because he was naive and did actually what he said he was going to do.

00:24:52.000 I don't think he was naive, but he said what he was going to do and he did what he said.

00:24:57.000 And it's just so telling.

00:24:59.000 These guys think they can pull the wool over.

00:25:01.000 And ultimately, it's anti-American, right?

00:25:03.000 Like you have to be a real pessimist in voters.

00:25:06.000 You have to be a pessimist in the American people to think that you can lie to them and that they're just going to vote according to your lies.

00:25:12.000 And they're not going to actually fact check and look into this stuff themselves.

00:25:16.000 And that's part of our role at APP is to educate people about what's actually happening.

00:25:20.000 Yeah, it's so important.

00:25:21.000 And I mean, you go through the article here you wrote on the Federalist and like this trans ideology.

00:25:26.000 Why are Republicans like even remotely entertaining it?

00:25:29.000 I mean, I think what, I mean, I suppose, again, we kind of did a little bit, we did a whole show on this last week, is that there's still kind of this naive core of the ruling class of Republicans where they think we live in a country that is long gone.

00:25:43.000 And you know this, Terry, and Matt Welsh articulates this, I think, better than anybody else, where it goes from, okay, you must tolerate the trans stuff, right? 1.00

00:25:52.000 To you must accept the trans stuff to you must celebrate the trans stuff. 0.89

00:25:55.000 And now you must participate in the trans stuff. 0.66

00:25:58.000 And it went really quick from tolerance to participation.

00:26:01.000 And there's, do you think there's something kind of fundamental in Republicans' desire to just be liked?

00:26:08.000 How much of this do you think is just kind of a yearning to be accepted by these people?

00:26:15.000 So I think it's two things.

00:26:17.000 I think it's 30% wanting to be accepted by the elites.

00:26:20.000 And 70% of this is, and this is the big thing, is that there has been no consequences up until recently for betraying us.

00:26:29.000 And that was the big thing that APP wanted to solve is there were only consequences for betraying the transgender movement or betraying the LGBT movement and hurting them, right?

00:26:38.000 Pat McCrory tells this really incredible story about how the human rights campaign came to his office after he passed the bathroom bill that basically said boys use the boys' room and girls use the girls' room.

00:26:49.000 And they said, sorry, we're going to make an example.

00:26:51.000 We're going to collect a scalp here so that no Republicans ever support a bill like this again.

00:26:57.000 That's exactly.

00:26:57.000 And there was no one on the other side of that, Charlie.

00:27:00.000 There was no one running campaign ads defending him or supporting him.

00:27:04.000 It was just left.

00:27:06.000 They spent $50 million.

00:27:08.000 And in defense of Pat McCorey, who I think was just running for Senate unsuccessfully, is that he really didn't get the right-wing response, I think, that was warranted.

00:27:15.000 He was ahead of the curve on this trans stuff, and he paid a huge price. 0.99

00:27:19.000 If I'm not mistaken, Pence backed down on it in Indiana.

00:27:22.000 I might be misremembering it, but there was some Indiana kind of sister bill. 0.94

00:27:26.000 But now all of a sudden it's kind of like we have infrastructure now and we have the ability to fight.

00:27:33.000 I'm sure a lot of you are wondering how you can learn about things that are good, true, and beautiful.

00:27:39.000 Well, I've talked about Hillsdale College for a while.

00:27:41.000 But look, there's a video I want you to see.

00:27:43.000 It's the trailer to Hillsdale College's newest free online course, C.S. Lewis on Christianity.

00:27:50.000 We've talked a lot about current events on the show, but some things are more important than today's news.

00:27:55.000 And C.S. Lewis was a master at addressing life's most important questions through vivid language that's entertaining and fascinating.

00:28:02.000 You may know Lewis as the author of The Chronicles of Narnia, but he's also considered the greatest Christian apologist of the 20th century.

00:28:08.000 As a radio host, I appreciate Lewis's ability to communicate and inspire.

00:28:12.000 In fact, not a lot of people don't know this, but Mere Christianity, his book, began as a series of radio messages.

00:28:19.000 Hillsdale's free online course covers C.S. Lewis's profound insights into good and evil, prayer and the Bible, and even heaven and hell.

00:28:26.000 And did I mention his course is entirely free?

00:28:29.000 So go watch the trailer video of C.S. Lewis on Christianity and sign up for this new free online course at charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:28:37.000 That's charlieforhillsdale.com.

00:28:39.000 Look, charlieforhillsdale.com.

00:28:40.000 You guys should go there at least once a week.

00:28:42.000 You guys can get online courses, sign up for Imprimus, learn about Aristotle, learn about the Constitution, learn about the Declaration, learn about the Federalist Papers.

00:28:49.000 It's charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:28:51.000 Again, Charlie, F-O-R, Hillsdale.com.

00:28:58.000 Terry, what other races is your pack looking at?

00:29:01.000 What other Republicans should we punish or reward?

00:29:05.000 What are you looking at?

00:29:07.000 So there are a few congressionals coming up here that we're really interested in.

00:29:11.000 First and foremost, we really love Mary Miller.

00:29:13.000 We want to support her.

00:29:15.000 We're raising money to help her out right now.

00:29:17.000 She's a big family pledge signer.

00:29:19.000 One politician that's in Congress right now that we really want to punish is Peter Meyer.

00:29:24.000 He's someone that voted to impeach Trump.

00:29:26.000 He's on the Fairness for All Act.

00:29:28.000 He's a terrible fake Republican, and he's got a great primary challenger and John Gibbs, who's also backed by President Trump.

00:29:35.000 But the other thing that we're looking at is we have a big family 2022 campaign where we're going after the swing states that we need election integrity in.

00:29:45.000 And so we're going to be using our pro-family issues to punish Democrats who have been vetoing this.

00:29:49.000 So Tony Evers is the governor of Wisconsin.

00:29:53.000 He vetoed the Women's Fairness Act in Wisconsin when it passed the legislature.

00:29:57.000 We're going to go after him.

00:29:58.000 We're going after Sisliwak, Steve Sislak in Nevada.

00:30:02.000 And we also want to help out our good friend in Arizona, Carrie Lake.

00:30:07.000 She's been a very strong candidate, was one of the first signers of the Big Family Pledge.

00:30:12.000 And there are a few others that we're looking at, but we love JD Vance.

00:30:15.000 We love Blake Masters.

00:30:16.000 There are so many good candidates that have signed our pledge.

00:30:19.000 And we're going to spend $12 million this year.

00:30:21.000 Tell us what the $12 million is a big number.

00:30:23.000 What is the pledge?

00:30:24.000 Tell us.

00:30:24.000 And why won't all Republicans sign it?

00:30:27.000 Well, there are fewer and fewer every day that haven't signed it.

00:30:31.000 We're up to over 100 candidates that have signed it.

00:30:34.000 Basically, it bans critical race theory from schools.

00:30:37.000 It bans transgenderism in schools.

00:30:39.000 It bans sex changes for minors.

00:30:40.000 You have to pledge to protect life from conception natural death.

00:30:44.000 And you also have to pledge to ban porn for minors, right?

00:30:48.000 We pick this out to go on offense, but these are very easy lifts if you're just, you know, if you've just got two brain cells to rub together, right?

00:30:55.000 They're very popular.

00:30:57.000 The porn pledge, Charlie, that is super popular.

00:31:00.000 We're talking an 80-15 issue.

00:31:02.000 We just did a battleground survey in all the Senate Battleground states.

00:31:06.000 It's an 80 to 15 issue.

00:31:08.000 There's no reason not to support verifying someone's age on porn.

00:31:13.000 Yeah, I mean, and making it more difficult for people that are under 18 to consume it.

00:31:19.000 It's a public health crisis, like an actually legitimate one.

00:31:23.000 I said for a long time, and the media just killed me on it, that young people are at greater long-term risk from pornography usage than from COVID.

00:31:32.000 And they just like lost their mind when you would say such a thing as that, but it's totally true.

00:31:37.000 And so what's the response that Republicans don't want to sign it?

00:31:40.000 I mean, that you're just kind of like on board for all the kind of social liberalism stuff?

00:31:44.000 Or what's their response?

00:31:46.000 They basically try and act like it doesn't represent their district.

00:31:50.000 But Charlie, again, we are seeing so many candidates actually sign this thing.

00:31:55.000 Even Dr. Ross signed it, right?

00:31:57.000 Like we're having even moderate candidates.

00:32:00.000 Okay.

00:32:01.000 It's actually getting really widespread.

00:32:03.000 I probably should have made it more aggressive.

00:32:05.000 Yeah, I mean, just kind of, I mean, again, I'm looking at it right now.

00:32:09.000 It's Defend Girls Sports from Biological Males, Protecting Children from Experimental Gender Transition. 0.89

00:32:14.000 Let Kids Be Kids from Dangerous and Divisive Propaganda.

00:32:17.000 Safeguard Kids from Exposure, Pornography, Obscenity, and Indecency.

00:32:20.000 Protect life from conception and natural death.

00:32:22.000 But let me ask you, Terry, and we only have about a minute and a half remaining.

00:32:26.000 What happens if someone violates the pledge?

00:32:28.000 There needs to be a cost to that, right?

00:32:30.000 Absolutely, Charlie.

00:32:32.000 This is all, you know, instead of endorsing people, we wanted these candidates to endorse a pro-family agenda that we can use to hold them to account once they get into office.

00:32:42.000 We've been misled for so many years, Charlie, decades, right?

00:32:46.000 The pro-family movement is being rebuilt, and we're going to ensure that there are not only consequences for the Democrats who are killing us, but for the Republicans who refuse to stop them from killing us and our families and hurting our kids.

00:32:57.000 It's that simple.

00:32:59.000 Look, everyone says that politics is downstream of culture.

00:33:03.000 That's a lie.

00:33:04.000 It's half true.

00:33:06.000 Politics is part of the culture.

00:33:08.000 And when millions of people are seeing campaign ads and arguments that we're making for and against cancer on different issues, you're changing the culture.

00:33:15.000 And when you change the law, you change the culture.

00:33:18.000 So this is just part and parcel for how we return America back to its roots, to the family, to God, and all of that.

00:33:24.000 And it's really very simple stuff.

00:33:27.000 It's just getting back to basics.

00:33:28.000 Well said.

00:33:29.000 Terry Schilling, American Principles Pack.

00:33:31.000 It's time to make people pay for going after kids and going after the family.
