00:00:00.000Hey, everybody, it's Anna Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:01.000Darren Beattie talks about a latest development out of the January 6th committee.
00:00:05.000Also, Heidi Gannall running for governor in Colorado, who's being attacked by Democrats in her primary, trying to elevate her opponent, that and so much more.

00:01:02.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:08.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:20.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:29.000So there's a lot of questions about what's happening this summer.
00:01:33.000And I'll be very honest, I haven't watched a second of the January 6th Primetime Committee.
00:01:40.000I do know one person who is watching it very closely and also has a phenomenal piece out at Revolver.news, and that is Darren Beattie, who has done some of the most rigorous and I would say important investigative journalism, legitimately important investigative journalism in the last couple of years.
00:02:19.000Yes, and in fact, look, you're not missing anything by not watching it.
00:02:23.000And I wouldn't recommend anybody waste their time watching it because, as I've stated on your program before, what's important about January 6th is what they're not talking about.
00:02:34.000And so you're not going to get anything of value from them.
00:02:37.000But you might get something of value from this latest Revolver.news piece because it really explores this latest push of the January 6th committee toward criminal prosecution.
00:02:50.000You're hearing a lot of commentators say, oh, what's going on is this is an audience for one, which I guess for them would be good because it's been a ratings flop, actually.
00:03:00.000And that one person is Merrick Garland, the attorney general.
00:03:05.000And the idea is the committee will serve up effectively an indictment for Merrick Garland to use to prosecute Trump.
00:03:14.000Now, the political dimensions of this are manifestly scandalous and inappropriate.
00:03:21.000For the regime, the Biden regime, to hang over the head of Trump, who is the presumptive GOP nominee, Biden's presumptive political rival, to hang over his head the possibility of criminal prosecution is really outrageous.
00:03:38.000But when you dig in to the deep history of the January 6th committee, you really find something remarkable.
00:03:44.000Now, there's a name, Norm Eisen, which people may have heard of because Revolver.news made him famous two years ago.
00:03:51.000He is the former ethics czar for Obama, a hatchet man, a legal hatchet man.
00:03:57.000He was the architect of the impeachment.
00:03:59.000In fact, he wrote up the impeachment before Trump's nothing burger call even happened.
00:04:07.000And actually, he turns out to be a color revolution operative who literally wrote a book called The Playbook on how to oust foreign authoritarian regimes.
00:04:17.000And he's using every step in that playbook against Trump.
00:04:23.000Well, as it turns out, Benny Thompson actually sued Trump, Giuliani, the Oath Keepers, and the Proud Boys in his personal capacity.
00:04:35.000He sued them according to this outlandish conspiracy theory, literal conspiracy theory, whereby Trump colluded with these militia groups to criminally incite insurrection.
00:04:47.000Now, this lawsuit was initiated in February of 2021.
00:05:29.000Norm Eisen and Joseph Sellers are longtime lawfare collaborators against Trump, dating all the way back to January of 2017, when they worked together to sue Trump on this ridiculous theory that the possibility that foreign dignitaries would stay at Trump hotels was a constitutional violation.
00:05:50.000So Norm Eisen's friend and frequent lawfare collaborator is literally the author of the personal lawsuit by Benny Thompson that later became the basis for the January 6th committee.
00:06:04.000Eisen's fingerprints are all over this.
00:06:09.000He joined an amicus brief directly with Benny Thompson.
00:06:12.000He sued various militia groups according to a theory that very closely follows the lawsuit.
00:06:20.000I mean, just the fact that Benny Thompson personally sued Trump under a theory of the case in a normal world should be disqualifying for him to run this ostensibly objective January 6th committee.
00:06:35.000And what this piece does is it uncovers the hidden hand of our erstwhile infamous color revolution operative, Norm Eisen.
00:06:45.000He is also the lawfare architect of the entire January 6th operation.
00:06:51.000It's an extension of the impeachment proceedings that failed.
00:06:55.000And really the whole purpose of this is to kneecap Trump politically so he's not a factor in 2024.
00:07:02.000And that's what's going on with all of these recent revived calls and urgent calls for criminal prosecutions stemming from the investigation of the January 6th committee.
00:07:15.000You bring up an interesting point that throughout the last couple of years, we've seen incredibly, let's just use a nice word, creative legal measures towards Republican opponents like the emoluments clause.
00:07:26.000And so what you're saying, though, is that there's an architect that is the one that tries to find, I mean, it kind of goes back to Cicero's saying, the more laws, the less justice, right?
00:07:35.000So there's all these laws on the books, and then you control the people who enforce the law.
00:07:40.000They're able to find some sort of technicality to be able to silence political dissidents, even though people on their side are never actually held to that standard.
00:07:51.000And lawfare is a key pillar of the overall sort of color revolution strategy that Norm Eisen was following from the beginning.
00:08:00.000And in fact, I know a lot of your listeners will remember the days of David Brock and the infamous memo on basically how to overthrow Trump before he even came into office.
00:08:12.000Norm Eisen's lawfare outfit crew was featured prominently in those leaked documents from David Brock.
00:08:19.000And Norm Eisen has been on it ever since.
00:08:21.000And I just find it remarkable, though not surprising, actually, that Norm Eisen and his lawfare buddies, dating all the way back to 2017, literally just days after Trump was inaugurated, these are the same people who are the hidden architects of the January 6th committee and more specifically of the recent push to criminally prosecute Trump, which would have the effect of taking him off the table for 2024,
00:08:50.000which is really the goal of all of this anyway.
00:08:53.000What could be done about this, Darren?
00:08:55.000This revelation is important because I think when we shine a light on it, there are deeds that were done in darkness are then made public.
00:09:00.000Any other thoughts on what we actually need to do about this?
00:09:03.000Well, I think you need to go to Revolver.news and read the piece.
00:09:08.000The important thing about this is that, you know, we've covered January 6th and, you know, federal involvement in all this.
00:09:14.000This really gets to the lawfare angle and really what a scam the committee itself is and how deeply riddled it is with multiple conflicts of interest.
00:09:24.000As I said, the idea that Benny Thompson personally sued Trump back in February, claiming that he incited the riot, and then he goes on to chair the ostensibly objective committee, and moreover, that Norm Eisen is the hidden hand in the lawsuit to begin with.
00:09:41.000It just shows not that we need to really know.
00:09:43.000We already know in our bones it's a sham, but this is the specific evidence that you can read and you can share with anyone who's brainwashed by the mainstream account who actually thinks this is a legitimate fact-finding proceeding.
00:10:32.000Except those with gold and silver as their backup plan.
00:10:35.000They know that with precious metals in their IRA, they'll be fine.
00:10:38.000Noble Gold has thousands of clients who have safely invested with them.
00:10:42.000Most heard an ad like this and called the experts, not a call center, but specialists who will give you your options.
00:10:47.000And for the month of March, with any qualified IRA above 20,000, you get a three-ounce silver American virtue coin or a five-ounce American the Beautiful Silver coin for anything over $50,000.
00:11:11.000Matt Walsh did a wonderful thing when he created the movie, What is a Woman?
00:11:15.000One of the best political, I don't even want to call it a political documentary, one of the most common sense, best common sense documentaries I've seen in quite some time.
00:11:45.000Now, we've gone into great detail here on this program regarding the tragedy of the death of female sports.
00:11:53.000Now, we have said for a while, though, that we believe there will be a breaking point to this ideology.
00:12:00.000As the locusts continue to try and eat away at the institutions, the bedrock, the foundations of civil and Western society, you always must wonder where is the breaking point for such insane ideology.
00:12:13.000Well, we recently saw the breaking point for violent crime in San Francisco with the removal of the district attorney Chessa Boudin, where he was removed from office by a voting demographic that's only 7% registered Republicans.
00:12:30.000Every bad ideology eventually can hit a shattering point.
00:12:36.000You're all for defunding the police until you have to call the insurance company for the seventh time in a month because your car keeps on getting broken into and the local police do not want to come by and they just say, yeah, look, there's nothing we can do about it.
00:12:51.000Now, the ideology of transgenderism or the ideology of the destruction of women's sports and the inability to pinpoint what a woman is is something that has been moving at an incredible pace.
00:13:04.000Almost no one has had the courage to stand up against it and say, stop.
00:13:10.000Even though 95 to 96% of people disagree with the fact that biological men should be able to compete against biological women in sports.
00:13:23.000It gives an unfair advantage in every possible way, from increased testosterone to muscle mass to bone density.
00:13:32.000And incredibly, over the weekend, and I'm not, I don't know if this ruling is going to hold.
00:13:38.000We'll see if the Alphabet Mafia is able to launch a counterattack against this, an insurgency.
00:13:45.000But remarkably, the International Swimming Federation voted to restrict transgender participation in elites, elite women's competition.
00:13:57.000This story right here, and we'll be following it in the days and weeks to come, is the first piece of evidence that I have seen of a mainstream, powerful body that has stood up to the otherwise undefeated transgender community.
00:14:17.000The trans community seemed to get everything they wanted.
00:14:20.000Now, yes, of course, not on local levels or in conservative states.
00:14:23.000I'm talking about a massive, otherwise woke, pandering institution.
00:14:30.000The LGBTQIAS Plus in Pride Month seems to get whatever they want.
00:14:35.000And what an interesting month for the International Swimming Federation to choose to do this.
00:14:39.000In the midst of Pride Month, they decide to take a stand for biological women.
00:14:45.000Meanwhile, transgender swimmers now are restricted from competing in elite women's competitions.
00:14:51.000Swimming's world governing body announced yesterday it voted to adopt the new policy, which takes effect immediately, begins today.
00:14:59.000It requires transgender swimmers to have completed their transition by the age of 12 and to remain below a level of circulating testosterone in order to compete in women's events.
00:15:10.000FINA says it's working to establish an open category for swimmers whose gender identity differs from their sex.
00:15:44.000So self-evident that if you are a biological man, you should not be able to compete against women that do not have the same testosterone levels, muscle mass, or bone density.
00:15:56.000And Thomas, otherwise known as Leah Thomas or William Thomas or whatever, we just say Thomas, the biological man who thinks he is a woman, who cheated his way towards a national championship.
00:16:13.000It was so brazen that even now, the otherwise undefeated trans lobbying movement now just posted a loss by the International Swimming Federation.
00:16:25.000Let this be a sign that that entire power structure is crumbling.
00:17:00.000So when you want to consolidate your debt and use equity in your home to do so to lower your monthly expenses, you have to use my friends, Andrew and Todd, at andrewandtodd.com.
00:17:10.000You have to know what you're going through.
00:17:12.000So look, I just had dinner with Andrew and Todd in Orange County.
00:18:08.000I hang out with them casually and I've got to know them really well.
00:18:11.000They'll treat you right and that when you use them, you're not using Citibank or Chase or these people that hate your values, that believe in this trans nonsense.
00:18:20.000Don't use those banks, diversity, equity, inclusion banks.
00:18:29.000You might say, oh, Charlie, I don't need to refinance or whatever.
00:18:31.000Well, maybe you will two months from now.
00:18:32.000Maybe you young millennials out there, maybe the millennials listening to our show, my fellow millennials, you're going to buy a home soon.
00:18:38.000Maybe you're getting married and you want to buy something.
00:18:40.000It's AndrewandTodd.com for a quick mortgage checkup.
00:18:43.000Use the equity in your home before it's too late.
00:19:45.000So I want to talk to you about a couple things about your race.
00:19:48.000But first, I want to try to nationalize this for our audience.
00:19:52.000You're mentioned in this article in the Wall Street Journal, Why Democrats are Funding the GOP Fringe, about how some of your opponents are actually getting benefit from Democrat super PACs.
00:20:05.000This is something that is now happening in more and more primary races across the country where Democrats are inserting themselves into our primaries.
00:20:15.000Tell us about this and tell about how it applies to your race.
00:20:19.000Yeah, it's been crazy the last few weeks.
00:20:22.000We found out that the Democrats are putting about $3 million into our race for governor, our primary race.
00:20:29.000So they're trying to pick their opponent, and they certainly don't want to run against me.
00:20:45.000I am ready to take it to the map with Jared Polis and win back our beautiful state, but he wants to keep me from even getting through the primary by dumping millions of dollars into the Democrat Governors Association and another organization, Progress Now, that he helped found a few years ago.
00:21:02.000And so they run these ads that on a surface, it looks like they're attacking the candidate, but they actually might be boosting the name ID.
00:21:09.000For example, they'll be saying something that your opponent's opposition to abortion and gay marriage is too conservative for Colorado.
00:21:18.000So it kind of has a dual, kind of a dual attack on this, right?
00:21:30.000Yeah, on the TV, it says he is too conservative for Colorado.
00:21:34.000And it lists out all his conservative credentials, which most of us would agree with.
00:21:38.000And it makes it look like I'm the one attacking him when it's really the Democrats trying to play kind of a reverse psychology.
00:21:45.000They're doing this in races across the country, but here in Colorado, they're doing it in the governor's race, in the U.S. Senate race, where we have a good chance to take out Michael Bennett and help us win back the Senate and also Congressional District 8.
00:21:57.000And we're starting to get the word out, but a lot of folks that vote don't watch TV a lot, don't listen to conservative radio.
00:22:04.000And it's going to be just, hey, I saw that guy's ad and I agree that he's pretty conservative.
00:22:10.000And wow, I don't like that he's being attacked.
00:22:13.000And then they're also doing mailers, probably, I think, a million dollars at this point of mailers that are dropping that say, you know, that he's pro-life and Jared Polis is pro-choice and that he's the pro-Trump candidate and just trying to boost his name ID because name ID is a lot of what this is all about.
00:22:41.000I know for certain it's happening in Arizona, by the way, where we live, where Democrats will try and pick the opponent they think they can beat.
00:22:50.000And they don't want to run against you, Heidi.
00:22:57.000He won the presidency, but he lost Colorado.
00:23:00.000And they're really afraid that you might be able to actually give Polis a run for his money.
00:23:04.000I believe Colorado is actually in a realignment chapter right now.
00:23:08.000I think it's far more politically liberal than it actually, the people are.
00:23:13.000I think that it's being represented way out of line.
00:23:17.000Talk about how Colorado might experience a pretty significant red wave and why they're so afraid of your candidacy.
00:23:25.000Well, I won a few years ago statewide in the regent race at the University of Colorado.
00:23:30.000We're one of four states that elects our board of regents and I ran for at-large.
00:23:34.000And I beat this gal named Alice Madden, who is one of Jared Polis' right-hand people that helped run the blueprint, we call it in Colorado, which flipped Colorado from blue back in the mid-2000s.
00:23:47.000And so everybody said the same thing back then.
00:23:49.000He's got too much or she's got too much money.
00:24:08.000I have twins that are 10, a 12-year-old and a 26-year-old.
00:24:12.000I've been on the front lines of education reform, whether it's being a regent in higher ed and trying to bring some balance to crazy Cenu Boulder, but also opening charter schools and making sure that school choice is on the front lines of our discussion here.
00:24:25.000Because 60% of our kids in Colorado cannot read, write, or do math at grade level.
00:24:30.000We have one of the highest suicide rates across this country for kids and the second highest drug addiction rate for kids in Colorado.
00:24:39.000This is something that we talked about last week, which is I believe there is a political realignment happening where Hispanics are starting to come in the Republican direction in record numbers.
00:24:50.000Now, Colorado, I believe, is 18, 19% Hispanic, which is more than what people would guess if you just think of Colorado.
00:24:59.000Talk about how Hispanics are starting to defect from the Democrat Party.
00:25:03.000And I believe that's making Polis rather nervous.
00:25:05.000That kind of reliable Hispanic base is all of a sudden probably being put into question, isn't it?
00:25:35.000We also have one of the highest inflation rates in the country right here, even compared to the national average.
00:25:41.000People can't afford to live in our state anymore.
00:25:44.000And Jared Polis thought it was a good idea to bring the new Green Deal to Colorado.
00:25:48.000And he's decimated our oil and gas industry here.
00:25:51.000And we produce some of the cleanest energy on the planet, but he'd rather us be not energy independent and go to Iran, Russia, and Venezuela to buy gas and oil, which is ridiculous.
00:26:02.000And it's also unpopular, if I'm not mistaken.
00:26:04.000Every time fracking bans get to the people of Colorado, they vote them down, don't they?
00:28:01.000He's done some very favorable things and some positive things, but I think there's a lot of fight left that we can expect from Glenn Yunkin because there are some things happening in Virginia that are completely and totally unacceptable.
00:28:14.000Cut 21, Fairfax County, Virginia school board makes it possible for students to be suspended if you misgender your classmate or another student.
00:28:27.000Here locally, the Fairfax County School Board voted Thursday night and made it possible for students as young as fourth graders to be suspended for, quote, malicious misgendering.
00:28:39.000Now, the terminology here can be confusing.
00:28:41.00070 plus page handbook for students misgendering is, quote, the act of labeling others with a gender that does not match their gender identity.
00:28:51.000Meaning, if the student is going through a transition and you refer to them as their previous gender, then you're in violation.
00:28:59.000Now, you could be suspended from school if you misgender somebody.
00:29:07.000You know, I remember when Jordan Peterson with his suspenders on took to the streets of Toronto five years, four or five years ago.
00:29:14.000I remember all these people were sending me these clips of this guy that I didn't know at the time.
00:29:19.000And he was for hours so passionately going through student by student, telling them what the ramifications would potentially be if you forced somebody to say something against their will about how speech, dialogue, dialogos is critical.
00:29:39.000And Jordan Peterson was, he pulled the alarm for all of us.
00:29:45.000Now, Jordan's been wrong about the vaccine, amongst many other, wrong about gun control, but it is, he deserves such credit for being early on the transgender for speech issue.
00:29:55.000And now we're seeing it manifest in our own schools, where if your child misgenders somebody else, they could be potentially suspended from class.
00:30:07.000I'm sure a lot of you are wondering how you can learn about things that are good, true, and beautiful.
00:30:13.000Well, I've talked about Hillsdale College for a while, but look, there's a video I want you to see.
00:30:17.000It's the trailer to Hillsdale College's newest free online course, C.S. Lewis on Christianity.
00:30:24.000We talk a lot about current events on the show, but some things are more important than today's news.
00:30:29.000And C.S. Lewis was a master at addressing life's most important questions through vivid language that's entertaining and fascinating.
00:30:36.000You may know Lewis as the author of The Chronicles of Narnia, but he's also considered the greatest Christian apologist of the 20th century.
00:30:42.000As a radio host, I appreciate Lewis' ability to communicate an inspired.
00:30:46.000In fact, not a lot of people don't know this, but Mere Christianity, his book, began as a series of radio messages.
00:30:53.000Hillsdale's free online course covers C.S. Lewis' profound insights into good and evil, prayer and the Bible, and even heaven and hell.
00:31:00.000And did I mention his course is entirely free?
00:31:03.000So go watch the trailer video of C.S. Lewis on Christianity and sign up for this new free online course at charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:31:14.000You guys should go there at least once a week.
00:31:16.000You 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.
00:31:40.000Fauci says one year, he's talking about masks again.
00:31:43.000Now, again, masks, in our personal opinion on this program, masks are not about epidemiology.
00:31:50.000Masks, especially masking children, is about making sure children do not have a memory of freedom.
00:31:56.000The first person who made this argument was the great Candace Owens at one of our turning point USA campus stops.
00:32:01.000I thought it was absolutely brilliant.
00:32:04.000If a nation does not remember freedom, how can they restore it?
00:32:08.000If a generation has never experienced freedom, how could they ever fight for it?
00:32:12.000If a three-year-old, if all a three-year-old knows is having a cloth mask over their face their entire existence, they'll be less likely to challenge authority, more likely to submit to authoritarianism.
00:32:26.000Hopefully, the more people that get vaccinated and boosted, and the more people that realize the importance of when you have a high level of viral dynamics, that when you're in an indoor setting, you should wear a mask, even though the whole world, including the United States and the UK, are just worn out and tired by this outbreak.
00:32:58.000Never talking about natural immunity, ivermectin, hydroxylchloroquine, azithromycin, vitamin D supplements, intravenous therapy, ozone, aspirin, all of these things have shown to potentially be successful interventions.
00:33:16.000But Fauci is just so focused on masking you and your children.
00:33:22.000A tyrant wants to make people unfamiliar with one another, is what Aristotle wrote 2,500 years ago.
00:33:31.000When you are masked, you're less likely to think independently.
00:33:37.000It's harder to sympathize with your neighbor, to even know who you're talking to.
00:33:41.000I believe it creates a meaner country.
00:33:44.000I think the more we mask our society, people are less likely to be charitable, generous, patient, and benevolent.
00:33:52.000Now, you contrast Fauci, who, in my personal opinion, is the best possible example of the outgrowth of the fourth branch of government, an unchecked, unelected, unknown bureaucrat who is able to reign tyrannically over our freedoms and our liberties.
00:34:10.000You check that against Ron DeSantis, who stands in opposition to Anthony Fauci and says, We do not believe in some abstract ideology.
