00:00:00.000Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show, we tackle the Megan Markle Prince Harry Oprah issue, scandal, story, whatever you want to call it.
00:00:08.000We also go into how HR1 might have a chance to pass and what Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema are saying about what they will do.
00:00:17.000We also talk about this disturbing transgender movement in our country that every single parent should listen to and listen to closely and carefully.

00:01:14.000Stephen from Fort Wayne, Indiana, thank you.
00:01:16.000Jarrow from Calabasas, California, thank you.
00:01:54.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:02:02.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:40.000They're okay with appointments, cabinet officials, Supreme Court justices.
00:02:44.000They're breaking it for reconciliation for the stimulus bill, which is anything but a stimulus bill.
00:02:52.000It's creating a problem that only their worldview can solve.
00:02:58.000But Manchin and Cinema, because the Senate is 50-50, have an extraordinary amount of power.
00:03:08.000So now Joe Manchin is wobbling a little bit.
00:03:12.000He's now saying he might potentially entertain a reconciliation vote for HR1.
00:03:21.000Now, HR1, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, we did an entire podcast on it.
00:03:28.000So I encourage you to dive into that last week.
00:03:30.000It was one of the most comprehensive episodes we've ever done on a piece of legislation of what's in it, the impact, the details, all of it.
00:03:40.000Check it out, Charlie Kirk Show podcast.
00:03:42.000But listen right here to Joe Manchin, cut six, talking to Chuck Todd on NBC about how he's not willing to go in reconciliation until there's bipartisanship.
00:03:53.000But listen to what he has to say next.
00:03:56.000Do you believe in the idea of a carve-out where you could pass election-related bills just like you do with budget reconciliation with 50 votes rather than 60?
00:04:09.000Would you be willing to go a reconciliation route for election-only bills like HR1?
00:04:18.000I'm not willing to go into reconciliation until we at least give bipartisanship or get working together or allow the Senate to do its job.
00:04:28.000After watching their blue state bailout passed the Senate yesterday along party lines through the reconciliation process, which only requires a simple majority, this is their new plan to permanently rig election rules in their favor.
00:04:41.000It was all laid out in a CNN opinion piece last week.
00:04:44.000They're calling it democracy reconciliation.
00:04:48.000But with universal mail-in voting and banana republic atrocities like ballot harvesting nationwide, HR1 is the opposite of democracy.
00:05:37.000She's not towing the absolute Democrat Party line.
00:05:40.000And so the two people that are basically running Washington, D.C. right now, it's not Schumer, it's not Pelosi, it's not McConnell, it's not McCarthy, it's Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin.
00:05:53.000And by doing so, they are commanding at least somewhat more of a centrist-focused focus and a slower process of how we're passing bills.
00:06:07.000So HR1 is a fundamental change in the way we do elections.
00:06:14.000And Joe Manchin is enjoying every possible piece of leverage he has over his fellow Democrats.
00:06:25.000Joe Manchin has also told Axios that he'll block Joe Biden's next big package, $2 trillion to $4 trillion for climate and infrastructure, if Republicans are not included.
00:06:40.000Manchin says that with just a few concessions, it would have been possible to get some Republicans on the Chinese coronavirus relief package that passed the Senate this weekend on a party-line vote.
00:06:51.000So basically, Joe Manchin runs the entire United States Senate.
00:06:56.000So the question is, will he break an HR1?
00:07:00.000And so all of the public pressure that many of you are asking, where do we put our attention on, it should be on praising and supporting Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin to not break the filibuster and not go into reconciliation, which is just a simple majority vote, to pass HR1.
00:07:26.000Because we lost Georgia, because 700,000 Trump supporters did not show up in Georgia to support Leffler and to support Purdue, two people that I understand were not the most animating candidates, Warnock and Ossoff, put the United States Senate into a 50-50 tie.
00:07:45.000And now basically the Democrats are at risk of putting forward their entire agenda and fundamentally changing and transforming this country permanently.
00:07:53.000The only thing that stands in their way is two Democrat senators that represent Republican states, West Virginia and Arizona.
00:08:02.000Arizona state, I know very, very well.
00:08:04.000Kirsten Cinema wants to be a senator for quite some time, and she's going to be, she's doing a good job of it.
00:08:11.000If Kyrsten Cinema ran for election today, she would win with 60% of the vote, more so than any other Republican in the state.
00:08:18.000She's probably the most popular politician in Arizona.
00:08:21.000And here I am, a grassroots constitutional conservative.
00:08:25.000And I think I've mentioned Kyrsten Cinema on my program positively for the last couple weeks.
00:08:32.000Kirsten Cinema has more courage than Jeff Flake ever did.
00:08:37.000Now, obviously, I disagree with Kirsten Cinema on border policy and abortion and many other important issues.
00:08:44.000And the transgender issue, I'm sure we don't agree on.
00:08:47.000And we'll get to that one in a second.
00:08:50.000But insofar that Kirsten Cinema is trying to slow down the Democrat power grab of our country, it's all we got.
00:08:58.000And if we're going to have Democrats that are willing to at least respect their constituents a little bit, then they should be applauded and they should be praised.
00:09:09.000Whereas you have Mitt Romney, who always looks at an opportunity to pander to Democrats.
00:09:14.000You have Kirsten Cinema, who's now looking for an opportunity to slow down Democrats.
00:09:19.000That takes a lot of courage, by the way.
00:09:22.000Inner Democrat Party fights have been limited in recent years.
00:09:28.000And Kirsten Cinema and Joe Manchin having the courage, and yes, it is courage to do what they are doing.
00:09:34.000And they're benefiting from it because they become more important.
00:09:38.000I'm not going to all of a sudden say they're on some sort of moral crusade here, but it takes courage nonetheless.
00:09:42.000The intention is completely irrelevant as to whether or not it takes moral courage because they are a recipient of massive backlash and pressure and opposition within their own party.

00:11:59.000The left says trust the science, but they don't listen to that when it comes to gender norms.
00:12:05.000Now, there is a serious psychological and mental condition called gender dysphoria.
00:12:10.000A lot of people suffer from this, where they think they are something other than what they really are.
00:12:16.000And something that we have always been warning about is how transgender people who are suffering from the mental condition gender dysphoria, and they should be given compassion and they should be given treatment, could potentially become predators towards young children in restrooms or locker rooms.
00:12:36.000So, a man who thinks he is a woman by the name of Alec Vied Menon, I might have pronounced it.
00:12:43.000I don't mean any offense by the pronunciation, but what he said, I'm going to give a disclaimer before I read this on the air because it's so dark, it is so unspeakably evil.
00:12:58.000The fact that he still has a social media account and Donald Trump doesn't is outrageous.
00:13:05.000So, he says, Quote: These days, the narrative is that transgender people will come into bathrooms and abuse little girls.
00:13:17.000The supposed purity of the victims has remained stagnant.
00:13:23.000There are no little princesses, little girls are also kinky.
00:13:29.000Your kids aren't as straight and as narrow as you think.
00:13:36.000So, the first and most obvious question to Alec is: How do you know that little girls are also kinky?
00:13:46.000How do you know little girls aren't as straight and as narrow as you think?
00:13:49.000Is there a crime you'd like to confess to publicly, Alec?
00:13:52.000Is there some activity that you'd like to tell us about now that you have put this on social media publicly?
00:14:00.000Basically, what Alec Vide Menon has admitted on social media is that he has some insight into being a child predator that we're not aware of.
00:14:14.000He being a transgender activist, and he is not just some random Twitter account, he is a well-followed, published transgender activist with over 615,000 Instagram followers, a substantial Twitter following.
00:14:34.000This is not just some fringe guy, this is someone that has written about favorably in Vogue, amongst many other publications, written about favorably in U.S. Weekly, written about favorably in The Advocate, written about favorably in Teen Vogue, written about favorably in Yahoo News, in CNN.com.
00:15:10.000Your kids aren't as straight and narrow as you think.
00:15:15.000He's received no criticism from the press, no backlash from the supposed transgender community, basically making the argument that little kids want to be preyed on.
00:15:30.000Little girls, they want us men to come into their locker rooms and their bathrooms.
00:15:37.000They're more open-minded to become victims of sexual abuse than you might think, you backwards person who believes that little children should be protected.
00:16:00.000Your kids aren't as straight and narrow as you think.
00:16:05.000Alec Vied Menon, a mentally ill person who is now publicly trying to normalize child predators.
00:16:20.000Maybe he is one because he says he knows this personally.
00:16:24.000This is where the transgender movement is headed.
00:16:27.000And Republicans that are just trying to play along and not pick the fights when they matter, they're going to validate this.
00:16:36.000So I kind of am obligated to get into this story right now, which is the story of Megan Markle and Prince Harry.
00:16:46.000So I want to read this tweet here from Ben Goldsmith.
00:16:51.000And I'm by no means an expert on the British monarchy.
00:16:55.000A lot of respect for the tradition and all of that.
00:16:58.000A lot of great friends in London and Great Britain.
00:17:00.000It's just not a primary concern of mine.
00:17:02.000And so I want to read from Ben Goldsmith's tweet, which I thought was terrific.
00:17:06.000The narrative being promoted by Megan, friends of Megan, and the leftist mainstream media and everyone else who hates the royal family and British traditions generally is that the royal couple were driven out of Britain because of snobbery and racism.
00:17:21.000The British tabloid press and the British publicly initially adored the idea that a glamorous star from Suits was marrying into the royal family and got terribly excited by the novelty of their royal wedding in the chapel of Windsor Castle.
00:17:35.000They only started going off Megan when they realized she was a pushy, ungrateful, entitled, gag-inducingly politically correct Hollywood gold digger who'd just gone and hitched herself up to Britain's favorite cheeky chappy warrior prince and turned him into an emasculated, humorless husk of his former former self.
00:17:56.000It's actually from James Dellingpole, who I believe writes for Breitbart amongst other places.
00:18:03.000And he interviewed me when we were in London for our campus tour.
00:18:07.000And so there's a lot of people that are kind of dissecting the interview yesterday.
00:18:11.000There's a lot of people that are going through the entire thing.
00:18:14.000I think just the broader question about this whole saga is, are we really now going to blame racism for the alleged oppressed life of Megan Markle?
00:18:26.000Is that going to be the consensus point?
00:18:29.000Her narrative is now basically, I am going to play a victim while I was literally admitted into the royal family.
00:18:37.000And based on my memory, and I'm sure we could find endless amounts of media coverage that reinforce this, of that was one of the most positive media events of the last couple decades that I could think of.
00:18:56.000And for her to now accuse the entire royal family of racism with no specifics whatsoever, no names, no times, no events, but it fits the narrative.
00:19:07.000And she knows now she can go make a bunch of money, which she probably made upwards of $7 million to do that interview because she now is playing the part of what everyone wants, which is, I've seen the inner workings of a powerful institution.
00:19:28.000And let me tell you, at the highest levels of ancestral aristocracy, they're racist and we must change everything.
00:19:40.000The narrative that she is now playing is confirmation bias of what Oprah herself has been trying to push on the American people.
00:19:50.000Now, I know far more about Oprah Winfrey than about Megan Markle.
00:19:55.000Oprah Winfrey, the fact that Oprah tolerated this whole conversation is so unbelievably disappointing.
00:20:01.000But first, I want to play this tape right here of Megan Markle saying this, making the claim that there were racist remarks against her child's skin color.
00:20:43.000Megan, you are now allowing your feels, feelings, I guess I should say, to dictate an accusation of a family that largely, by all evidence available, embraced you.
00:20:57.000What an unbelievably ungrateful person you are.
00:24:09.000And yet Oprah Winfrey creates this forum of oppression Olympics.
00:24:16.000She creates this framework of where we're now going to allow you to go complain professionally.
00:24:24.000Where the real Oprah Winfrey, the Oprah Winfrey that I know is still out there somewhere and has been suppressed into this angry and bitter person, the real Oprah Winfrey, the 1995 Oprah Winfrey that used to be just phenomenal.
00:24:39.000The Oprah Winfrey that interviewed Donald Trump, the Oprah Winfrey that gave away cars for fun, the Oprah Winfrey that was always about success.
00:24:47.000You know what how Oprah would have handled that interview in the 1990s?
00:24:50.000Oprah would have said, okay, Megan, you're saying this.
00:24:54.000Are you really trying to say people should feel sorry for you right now with the privilege, with the wealth that you obviously have?
00:25:01.000Are you trying to say that black women can't succeed?
00:25:58.000Yet Oprah has become this bitter, angry, and dare I say, destructive force in the American media landscape.
00:26:08.000And as someone who was born and raised in Chicago, she had all of her empire in Chicago.
00:26:13.000And I was raised with the story of Oprah Winfrey rising above her circumstances and being a victor.
00:26:23.000Oprah Winfrey has too much power, too much wealth, and too much influence to be so reckless and irresponsible.
00:26:29.000And it is such an unbelievable disappointment, an unspeakable disappointment, because now millions of other young black women are watching this.
00:26:39.000Meanwhile, what's the setting of the interview?
00:26:42.000The setting is likely at either Oprah's or Prince Harry's or Megan Markle's estate somewhere in Santa Barbara, somewhere.
00:26:53.000You could just tell by the short aesthetic of the video clips I have seen that these people were not roughing it in Compton.
00:27:01.000It's not exactly, it was like Montecito or something like that.
00:27:06.000And so what is the subconscious signal that is being sent from that entire travesty that happened?
00:29:28.000And now this is the one-year anniversary of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who's a pathological liar who has failed upwards his entire career, saying this one year ago, cut 10.
00:29:40.000Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.
00:29:45.000You're sure of it because people are listening really closely to this.
00:29:49.000Right now, people should not be walking.
00:29:50.000There's no reason to be walking around with a mask.
00:29:53.000When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.
00:30:08.000So this guy is still allowed at the highest levels of government.
00:30:14.000One thing that I just wish Donald Trump would have done, and I think it was a missed opportunity, is fire this guy and fire him publicly last April after the lies, the treachery, the arrogance, quite honestly, the resentment that he has for the country and for actual science.
00:30:32.000Dr. Anthony Fauci is a pathological liar.
00:30:56.000Now they're being released into the United States.
00:30:59.000And you may have read three days ago, the bus station, in Brownsville, Texas, the DHS, the Department of Homeland Security, drops him off at the Greyhound bus station in Brownsville.
00:31:10.000The city of Brownsville has to pick up the tab for testing them for COVID.
00:31:15.0006% of them are COVID and they get on the buses.
00:31:46.000But if you want to educate your kids, if you want to open your laundromat, if you want to serve breakfast, open your coffee shop, they will shut you down at all costs.
00:32:43.000Get involved in drugs, get involved in gangs, more likely to go to prison.
00:32:47.000The wealth and income inequality that the Democrats always complain about, they're creating it through school closures and through open borders.
00:32:54.000Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden and Gavin Newsome and J.B. Pritzker's kids and grandkids are in school.
