00:00:50.000 That's why we are here.

00:00:53.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:02.000 Joining us now is Kelly Shackelford from First Liberty, FirstLiberty.org.

00:01:07.000 He won in front of the Supreme Court this session in a 9-0 decision.

00:01:12.000 Incredible.

00:01:13.000 Kelly Shackelford joins us firstliberty.org.

00:01:15.000 Kelly, congratulations.

00:01:16.000 Tell us about your case.

00:01:18.000 This is really a major, major religious freedom case, which most people probably won't hear a lot about because these other cases that are coming down yesterday and today.

00:01:28.000 But yesterday, we won a case called Grove versus U.S. Postal Service.

00:01:33.000 And what it's about is religious freedom in the workplace.

00:01:37.000 For almost 50 years now, we've had a really bad Supreme Court decision in place that essentially stripped most of the religious freedom protection in the workplace that was there by statute.

00:01:51.000 And it was really dishonest, the opinion.

00:01:54.000 And we just completely flipped that around yesterday.

00:01:58.000 So, you know, everybody looks at this and Charlie and they say, hey, this is just a guy that wanted to have his Sabbath.

00:02:07.000 This is our client, Gerald Groff, who had strong beliefs about not working on Sunday.

00:02:12.000 And he went to work for the Postal Service.

00:02:15.000 And then all of a sudden, they started forcing people to deliver on Sunday.

00:02:18.000 And he asked for an accommodation under federal laws.

00:02:21.000 He has a right to.

00:02:22.000 And they basically didn't give him the accommodation and pushed him out of his job.

00:02:29.000 And the reason they thought they could get away with that was because of this standard where they just eviscerated protection for religious liberty 46 years ago.

00:02:37.000 Well, that's now really totally changed.

00:02:41.000 And it restored religious freedom protection in the workplace for every American who works.

00:02:47.000 And this is going to be really significant way beyond just his type of case with the Sabbath.

00:02:52.000 Think what this means.

00:02:54.000 All these woke corporations that have been crushing people of faith, they're now going to have protection.

00:03:00.000 Think of even what we went through with the pandemic.

00:03:03.000 People who had religious objections to the vaccine, this is now going to give them a higher level of protection.

00:03:08.000 So this is going to be a major change for the future for anybody who works and is a person of faith that they can't be forced to do things to violate their faith.

00:03:19.000 No, it's a huge victory.

00:03:20.000 Kelly, were you surprised to see 9-0 to get every justice to agree is quite rare.

00:03:26.000 Your thoughts on that?

00:03:28.000 Yeah, I was a little surprised.

00:03:31.000 I felt like we were going to win because it's just untenable to hold the position that really the Supreme Court did.

00:03:39.000 To tell you what the Supreme Court was doing 46 years ago, it's because they had such a bizarre view.

00:03:46.000 They thought that it violated separation of church and state to do anything favorable to religion like accommodate religion.

00:03:53.000 And so they just redrafted the statute.

00:03:56.000 Everybody knew that that opinion was dishonest and was wrong, even the liberals and even the other side when the Solicitor General's office got up during the oral argument.

00:04:07.000 But we weren't, you know, we thought there might be some battling over this.

00:04:12.000 And what ended up happening is the reason we got it nine is they didn't specifically and directly overturn that old case.

00:04:21.000 They just did it by explanation.

00:04:23.000 And the reason that was important to the liberals is they know a lot of these precedents that are really faulty and baseless are being overturned.

00:04:32.000 And so they didn't want starry decisis.

00:04:35.000 You know, in other words, you know, we've got to stick with the old precedents.

00:04:39.000 They didn't want this one overturned because they want to keep some of the old things in place.

00:04:45.000 And so they said, look, we'll let you change all this back and give all this great religious freedom as long as you won't say you're reversing the old case.

00:04:53.000 And so what Alito did instead is just definitely drafted an opinion that changed everything that had been going on for the last 46 years and how to interpret the case, but didn't specifically overrule it.

00:05:06.000 But this is going to be big.

00:05:07.000 I mean, you know, Charlie, think of people at Fortune 500 companies who are people of faith, you know, who are Christians or biblical believers at those places.

00:05:16.000 I mean, how many of those people are in the shadows?

00:05:20.000 How many of those people are really out there about what they believe because of the fear that if they are, they can be canned and they really got very little protection?

00:05:28.000 Well, that just all changed.

00:05:30.000 I mean, there's now protection for people in these situations all across the country.

00:05:35.000 We've got a lot of people we're representing who, you know, are called into the DEI office after 20 years of work and told to sign some transgender statement, and then they're fired if they don't.

00:05:46.000 Well, now, you know, this is sort of a message to every HR department and every major corporation: you're in trouble now if you do anything like this.

00:05:56.000 So this is going to really send shockwaves in the corporate community in a good way that's going to protect people of faith.

00:06:03.000 So, Kelly, can you just give some?

00:06:04.000 I know these weren't your other cases, but can you give some thoughts just on the other wins here?

00:06:10.000 Affirmative action, student loan, and more the religious liberty one.

00:06:14.000 It wasn't your case, from what I understand, the one in Colorado.

00:06:18.000 So, your thoughts on first Colorado and then the others?

00:06:22.000 Yeah, Colorado was 303 Creative, and we filed an amicus brief in that because we have very similar clients.

00:06:30.000 We have clients in Oregon, Aaron and Melissa Klein, who were ordered by the state to do a gay wedding cake.

00:06:37.000 And so, very similar to the 303 Creative.

00:06:43.000 What they did today in the Supreme Court, first, what they took when they took that case, there was a religious liberty claim and a free speech claim.

00:06:50.000 The court only accepted for review the free speech claim.

00:06:55.000 So, there's not a, although they're religious, the whole case is based upon free speech.

00:07:01.000 And so, what they said today is the government can't force you to say something you don't want to say.

00:07:08.000 Everybody conceded in this case that, you know, they agreed that they would serve, or in this case, Lori, who's 303 creative, agreed she would serve everybody.

00:07:21.000 So, it's not a matter of not serving people.

00:07:23.000 It's a matter of not promoting other people's message.

00:07:27.000 And so, everybody agreed with that.

00:07:29.000 So, then the question is: can the government punish someone for not expressing a message that the government says is the only approved message?

00:07:38.000 And I mean, it should have been nine to zero, to be honest, Charlie.

00:07:41.000 I mean, if people were principled at all, it's nine to zero.

00:07:44.000 But the three liberals just, you know, they tried to create a new case in the dissent.

00:07:49.000 They tried to change the facts.

00:07:51.000 The arguments made in the case by Colorado, just incredible.

00:07:54.000 What they essentially said is, well, since this is commercial, since you're getting paid for your speech, we can now control your speech.

00:08:03.000 We can have these regulations that tell you you can't say things.

00:08:07.000 So if you're an artist and you're selling your art, now the government's controlling what you're saying.

00:08:13.000 If you're, you know, writing a book, the government, you know, you're getting paid for it.

00:08:18.000 So it was just unbelievable what they were arguing.

00:08:22.000 And the fact that there's three justices who were in the dissent is mind-boggling.

00:08:27.000 But this is a great victory for everybody who believes in free speech because, you know, this is, it reminds me of the old cases.

00:08:36.000 When somebody wants to say something that's not culturally popular, that's when we find out if we have free speech.

00:08:42.000 And in this case, this is a really good victory.

00:08:44.000 And Justice Gorsuch wrote an excellent opinion.

00:08:47.000 So it's a good thing for people who believe in the Constitution.

00:08:53.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:08:54.000 The U.S. dollar has lost 85% of its value since the 1970s when the dollar decoupled from gold.

00:09:00.000 And the U.S. government seems bent on continuing the tradition.

00:09:03.000 From now until the next election, the government can print as much money as they want.

00:09:07.000 The last time they did it, inflation went up 9%.

00:09:10.000 This means one thing: the security of your future and your family's future is all in your hands.

00:09:15.000 Make sure you freeze the value of your wealth that you are holding.

00:09:58.000 Kelly, I want to play a piece of tape of Scalia here.

00:10:01.000 And this doesn't do the best job of it.

00:10:02.000 There's a better tape out there that I can't find, but this is a pretty good one of Scalia just kind of going back and forth with Peter Robinson from Uncommon Knowledge, just lamenting that, look, the court's opinion right now, they've lost their way.

00:10:16.000 And look at how much has changed in 11 years.

00:10:19.000 Play cut 110.

00:10:20.000 Why should it be necessary to devote more than 400 pages to a commonsensical principle?

00:10:26.000 That's a very good question.

00:10:29.000 Well, the reason, as explained in the first part of the book, is that we've sort of gone off the rails that nowadays, especially with regard to the Constitution,

00:10:46.000 the accepted view and the view stated by my court repeatedly is that the words don't necessarily mean what they were understood to mean at the time, but can be given new meaning.

00:11:00.000 It's up to the court.

00:11:01.000 In reading law, it's like picking up cosmic background radiation from some distant cataclysmic event.

00:11:09.000 Scalia was a minority on a court that regularly got it wrong, but he paved the way for this court, which mostly gets it right.

00:11:15.000 Kelly Shackelford, Kelly, put into perspective, 10 years later, Scalia was bearish on the court.

00:11:23.000 We lost our way.

00:11:24.000 We're not reading the Constitution anymore.

00:11:27.000 11 years later, Kelly Shackelford, your reaction.

00:11:31.000 Well, this is the huge thing that happened under Donald Trump with the justices on the Supreme Court.

00:11:38.000 And, you know, most people don't know this, but really it's just, you know, three years ago, four years ago, whatever, when it's the first time we've had a court in 80 years who thinks their job is to find the original meaning of the tech.

00:11:54.000 Now, most people are shocked by that.

00:11:56.000 What were they doing?

00:11:57.000 They weren't finding the original meaning of the Constitution?

00:12:00.000 No, they felt like it was an evolving, living, breathing document that they could change how they wanted.

00:12:06.000 And so they might disagree now on what is the original meaning, but they think that's their job.

00:12:13.000 And boy, that has consequences.

00:12:14.000 And so, you know, obviously Roe v. Wade, everybody knows about the Dobbs decision.

00:12:19.000 But I mean, we have now had at First Liberty, we've had three landmark religious liberty wins at the Supreme Court in the last 12 months, Charlie.

00:12:29.000 I mean, these are 50-year precedents that were just horrible.

00:12:33.000 They weren't right.

00:12:34.000 They weren't true.

00:12:35.000 They weren't what the Constitution says.

00:12:37.000 They're gone.

00:12:38.000 And the biggest problem I'm struggling with a little bit, Charlie, is trying to help people understand that they have all these freedoms that they've been told their whole life they didn't have.

00:12:50.000 You know, most people think right now you can't have a nativity scene.

00:12:53.000 Yeah, you can.

00:12:55.000 You know, and you can't have the coaches and football players praying after the game together.

00:13:01.000 Yeah, you can.

00:13:02.000 We could just go on and on and on with things that have changed.

00:13:07.000 And it's been so ingrained in people with these bad decisions that, you know, the biggest thing is going to be educating people to the freedoms that they have.

00:13:16.000 And so this is why, Charlie, and we've talked about this before, this is why the left is so out of control, angry, and trying to really destroy the court.

00:13:27.000 They want a court pact, which means they want to add a number of justices to the Supreme Court, which would destroy the court.

00:13:35.000 They have had threats out in front of their homes, and they won't enforce the law to stop that.

00:13:40.000 They've had senator, a majority leader, go on the steps of the court and threaten two of the justices.

00:13:46.000 And now they've got every day, if you watch, there's 10, 20 articles attacking the ethics of the justices, which are bogus articles.

00:13:56.000 But the idea is to do enough of these to sort of delegitimize the court so then they can remake it in their own image and do whatever they want, reform it, as they say.

00:14:07.000 And so this is the one thing they don't control.

00:14:10.000 And this is the one thing that's actually looking at what does the Constitution say.

00:14:15.000 And the results are great.

00:14:16.000 And so, boy, they are going after it with everything they've got.

00:14:19.000 That's why we did that website, supremeco.com, because we've got over a half million people signing the, you know, I'm going to protect the independence of the judiciary declaration, including Ed Meese and all these famous people, but regular people all over the country, because we've got to stop that.

00:14:37.000 And if we stop that, then, boy, what's happening with our courts?

00:14:41.000 We're just at the beginning of some great stuff.

00:14:43.000 Yes, we are.

00:14:44.000 Kelly Shackelford, First Liberty, FirstLiberty.org.

00:15:53.000 Okay, so apparently there's a new Barbie movie out, of which I guess people are really excited about.

00:15:59.000 It's a big deal.

00:15:59.000 There's a very interesting piece out for Revolver.news that says the pink menace.

00:16:06.000 And joining us now is Peachy Keenan to walk us through why parents should not send or go to this movie with their kids.

00:16:14.000 Peachy, tell us about this film.

00:16:17.000 Hey, Charlie.

00:16:18.000 Yeah.

00:16:18.000 So the film doesn't come out yet.

00:16:19.000 It comes out in a couple of weeks.

00:16:21.000 And but the marketing campaign has been going on for months.

00:16:25.000 And so I was excited about it.

00:16:27.000 I have friends, moms who are excited about it.

00:16:29.000 My seven-year-old daughter saw the trailer for it when we went to see Spider-Man.

00:16:34.000 So she's been excited for Barbie.

00:16:36.000 And I had no idea what was going to be in store for us until a few days ago.

00:16:42.000 I saw the cover of Time Magazine with the cast.

00:16:46.000 And lo and behold, one of the one of Barbie's, she has three sidekicks in the movie, and one of her Barbie sidekicks is a man.

00:16:54.000 Okay, so why is that significant?

00:16:57.000 Well, I think that having a transgender Barbie in a movie that really is a beloved kids' toy is certainly a new thing.

00:17:06.000 I mean, I think there was a transgender Barbie doll they made of one of the actresses or actors on Orange is the New Black, Laverne Cox, but there was never really a transgender Barbie for kids.

00:17:18.000 The other clues that this movie may not be what you think it is is that it's PG-13 or suggestive language.

00:17:24.000 And in the trailer, there's like a kind of a dirty sex joke that went over my seven-year-old's head, but my teenage son was like, what?

00:17:31.000 I couldn't believe what he was hearing.

00:17:34.000 And I mean, I was, I was kind of prepared for like the, you know, Barbie as the feminist girl boss, escaping her perfect dream life for like the real world, choosing, you know, she has to choose like the red pill or the blue pill. 0.71

00:17:45.000 She, it's a pink high heel to stay in Barbie Dream World or the or the Birkenstock, the brown, comfortable Birkenstock sandal to go to, you know, feminist real world. 1.00

00:17:55.000 Um, and that's what she chooses.

00:17:57.000 But I was really surprised to see that there was a man as a Barbie. 0.76

00:17:59.000 And now, you know, there's a lot of talk about, you know, accusing this, them of being groomers.

00:18:05.000 And look, I think it's being misinterpreted. 0.90

00:18:07.000 Like, no one, I'm not afraid that a transgender woman, you know, in other words, a biological man in a dress is going to molest my children, is a pedophile necessarily. 1.00

00:18:19.000 It's really about psychological grooming, right? 0.58

00:18:21.000 So if I take my seven-year-old daughter to this movie and she finds out later, oh, one of those, one of those characters, one of the female Barbies, was actually a boy.

00:18:31.000 And I couldn't even tell mommy.

00:18:32.000 And so that makes it like, okay, she passes or he passes or whatever.

00:18:38.000 So that is sort of it psychologically grooming them to accept it, to think it's totally fine, completely normal, and that little boys can, in fact, grow up to be female Barbie dolls.

00:18:49.000 So just so everybody understands, so one of the kind of apparently this movie's a big deal, not my world.

00:18:57.000 Yeah.

00:18:57.000 But the group of dolls is called Barbie, but the main Barbie is also named Barbie.

00:19:04.000 But it's this is basically trans propaganda that is in this like hyper feminine ultra pink propaganda thing. 0.99

00:19:11.000 But it's really been taken over by the trans mafia. 1.00

00:19:13.000 Is that a fair way to put it?

00:19:15.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:19:17.000 I mean, you know, like you can go now, you can buy, you know, Dr. Barbie, veterinarian Barbie.

00:19:23.000 So there's, you know, Barbies of every race.

00:19:25.000 Like that's all fine, no problem.

00:19:27.000 And it's very interesting.

00:19:28.000 In this one, there's stereotypical Barbie played by Margot Robbie. 1.00

00:19:33.000 And I think that a lot of people on the right were sort of excited that they were going with like the retro, you know, the OG Barbie, the blonde, blue-eyed, like thin, cute Barbie.

00:19:43.000 Like, wow, this is like, is this movie-based?

00:19:45.000 Is this going to be kind of a conservative trad Barbie?

00:19:48.000 And yes, that character is, but she has, you know, her rainbow coalition of Barbies around her. 1.00

00:19:53.000 I think there's one who's a lesbian in real life. 1.00

00:19:55.000 And there's another actress who actually is also a lesbian. 1.00

00:19:59.000 And then you have this, the man portraying one of the female Barbies.

00:20:04.000 And I thought it was very incredible that the transgender woman Barbie is Dr. Barbie. 0.79

00:20:11.000 So that, to me, I mean, what else?

00:20:14.000 What else do you need to know about this movie?

00:20:16.000 It's not for kids.

00:20:18.000 So is this a theme that we're seeing?

00:20:20.000 I mean, just the various, why is Hollywood incapable of making positive, exciting, broadly appealing content?

00:20:28.000 Why do they have to lace it with this trans propaganda? 0.97

00:20:32.000 Yeah, I mean, it seems like every movie, even like the younger you go with the movie, the younger the age group that you're targeting, the more nefarious it is, the more overt it is almost.

00:20:44.000 I mean, the new Disney Pixar flop, it's a giant colossal flop, elemental.

00:20:50.000 I haven't seen it, but I do know that there is, for some reason, one of the cartoon characters is a non-binary child who uses they, them pronouns in the movie.

00:21:00.000 For what reason?

00:21:01.000 Well, to satisfy Disney's, you know, ESG score.

00:21:04.000 I mean, that's basically the reason.

00:21:06.000 And what's interesting is that Disney just canned their head of DEI because of this flop, because of the light year flop, which had, you know, the random lesbian kiss for no real reason other than, again, the ESG score and the virtue points.

00:21:22.000 And so Disney's just producing flop after flop.

00:21:25.000 With this movie with Mattel, they've been dabbling in wokeism now for like a long time with all the different Barbies.

00:21:32.000 Like I said, they did have a transgender Barbie doll, but they're trying to cover all their bases. 0.99

00:21:38.000 And what they're doing, though, effectively is just like Disney, they're going to end up alienating their core constituency, which is mothers of little girls.

00:21:48.000 And so again, we have just an unbelievably boneheaded decision.

00:21:54.000 The CEO of Mattel, Yvonne Creese, Yvonne Creese, he has been, you know, they've been planning Barbie movie for years.

00:22:02.000 They've been working on it, different ideas.

00:22:04.000 Amy Schumer backed out of playing Barbie because it wasn't woke enough. 1.00

00:22:07.000 It wasn't feminist enough for her. 1.00

00:22:10.000 And then enter Greta Gerwig, who is a female screenwriter. 0.93

00:22:14.000 She's the one who kind of made little women into a girl boss, modernized girl boss, teenage adventure movie. 1.00

00:22:22.000 And so it's just inevitable that the people now who are in charge, who are making the decisions, who are writing these scripts, who are casting them, are all just so far outside of what kind of a regular mom could even envision.

00:22:36.000 And the thing that's so insidious about this movie is that when you see the trailer, it looks so fun.

00:22:41.000 It looks like such a perfect fun, the colors and the pink, and it's just so cute, right?

00:22:48.000 Who wouldn't love to go to this movie?

00:22:49.000 Her little pink Corvette.

00:22:51.000 And it's all the more insidious.

00:22:53.000 I mean, it's one of the reasons why they dress everything up in rainbows and unicorns and glitter.

00:22:57.000 It's really to attract children.

00:22:59.000 I mean, we see this in their parades and all the target displays.

00:23:04.000 It just, they know really how to reach into the heart of a little girl and kind of like, you know, it's very seductive.

00:23:10.000 It's, it's, it, it is a long process of seducing them into thinking that this is all fine.

00:23:16.000 And I mean, look, it's going to be a huge hit.

00:23:20.000 There's nothing we can do really to stop it.

00:23:22.000 Although I'm trying right now to get the word out to moms because none of them know about this.

00:23:26.000 I had a mom literally like, the reason I wrote the article is a mom was like, I can't wait to go see Barbie.

00:23:31.000 Is a conservative trad Catholic mom with a million kids.

00:23:36.000 And I was like, Well, you might want to hold up.

00:23:38.000 I'm not sure if you really want to take your daughter to this.

00:23:41.000 You know, yeah, there's this is definitely proof that God created men and women differently.

00:23:46.000 I saw a short trailer.

00:23:47.000 I thought it was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.

00:23:50.000 The pink, how artificial, and it was awful.

00:23:53.000 I said, Who would want to see this?

00:23:54.000 And I was like, This, there's no way this thing's going to succeed.

00:23:57.000 And I apparently people like it.

00:23:59.000 Yeah, so parents, is the answer then just to boycott?

00:24:02.000 Is that the answer?

00:24:04.000 I mean, I think so.

00:24:05.000 I mean, at the very least, this is not a movie where you get all the like six, you're all your six-year-old daughter and all her friends and like head down to the theater and see it.

00:24:13.000 I mean, look, we were going to do that.

00:24:15.000 That was the plan as of a couple of days ago.

00:24:17.000 We were all going to go see it, all the friends.

00:24:20.000 And now I think, no, I'm not going because I don't, I don't want my little, the little kids that I know to think, oh, maybe it is okay for a boy to say he's a Barbie and to say he's a woman.

00:24:30.000 Like, it's just, it normalizes it to such a degree.

00:24:34.000 And that is why they're targeting the children.

00:24:36.000 So, look, can we do a boycott of it?

00:24:38.000 Like, Bud Light?

00:24:39.000 I mean, yeah, we should.

00:24:40.000 Boycott Barbie movie, 100%. 1.00

00:24:43.000 We're not going to get everybody.

00:24:44.000 You know, I still have friends who, you know, boycott Target online, but sneak over to Target.

00:24:50.000 You know, don't tell anybody, but they're going to hit Target anyway.

00:24:53.000 It's hard.

00:24:54.000 It's so hard to put the onus on us, just these like we're normal people trying to look for a nice movie to see with the kids over summer vacation.

00:25:02.000 You know, what are all our, what are our alternatives?

00:25:05.000 It used to be, I don't know, Charlie, when you grew up, I remember every weekend in summer, there would be like five or six movies that I would be able to see.

00:25:13.000 These were like four quadrant family-friendly movies.

00:25:17.000 You know, maybe there'd be one S-word in the whole movie.

00:25:21.000 You know, that was it.

00:25:22.000 And it was just there's these summer memories of going to movie after movie and just kind of engaging in American culture at its peak.

00:25:30.000 And now we're getting these sort of rehashed stories based on toys that, okay, fine, but the storylines are just, you know, just dried out old feminist clichés, infused also now with the latest, you know, the latest narrative, which is, isn't it great how a man can be a woman?

00:25:53.000 Yeah, in what is considered to be a family-friendly film.

00:25:58.000 And it also should be the tell.

00:25:59.000 If it really was family-friendly, why is it not PG?

00:26:02.000 Why does it have to be PG-13?

00:26:04.000 And by the way, the whole rating thing is just so corrupt.

00:26:10.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:26:11.000 Just when you thought the government would stop trying to take over healthcare, Senator Bernie Sanders, that socialist Marxist communist, is pushing something that is no good.

00:26:19.000 I need your attention right now.

00:26:20.000 I'm urgently asking you to support the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste to stop the Senate from passing the Sanders bill S1339.

00:26:28.000 It would raise the price of prescription drugs by making it harder for pharmacy benefit managers to continue to save an average of $1,000 per year for 275 million Americans just like you.

00:26:37.000 Bernie Sanders, he does, he is a sneaky commie.

00:26:40.000 I'll tell you what.

00:26:41.000 He will not lower prescription drug prices despite what the bill says.

00:26:44.000 It will create a socialist healthcare system here in America.

00:26:47.000 I've read the bill.

00:26:48.000 It's dangerous.

00:26:49.000 You got to stop it.

00:26:49.000 You have to sign lowermydrugprices.com.

00:26:52.000 I'm telling you, I'm involved in this.

00:26:54.000 You got to get into the game.

00:26:55.000 Add your name to thousands who are standing up and saying you don't want more government interference in healthcare, but you must hurry.

00:27:01.000 The Sanders bill will come up for a vote in only a few weeks.

00:27:04.000 Go to lowermydrugprices.com.

00:27:06.000 All of us together must oppose the Marxist Bernie Sanders lowermydrugprices.com.

00:27:13.000 So, Peachy, it's the last day of Saddam month, and I think that we can say that we pushed back a little bit as we reflect. 0.92

00:27:22.000 How would you grade the conservative movement as far as our ability to call out the nonsense, do some boycotts, have a little bit more courage?

00:27:30.000 In years past, your thoughts, Peachy.

00:27:32.000 I think this was our best, um, our best response yet.

00:27:36.000 I mean, I think that no one ever really responded, um, but they never really went as far as they did this past month.

00:27:42.000 You know, used to be a day, right?

00:27:43.000 Now it's a month, or the whole summer, as the admiral called it.

00:27:47.000 But I think we did a pretty good job.

00:27:48.000 I think that people started having fun with the pushbacks.

00:27:51.000 People were enjoying seeing the price of the Bud Light stock go into the toilet.

00:27:55.000 So I think that next year we just have to really, you know, hopefully have a more sustained campaign, maybe some good hashtags, and do our best to make people have more fun pushing back because that's what people enjoy doing.

00:28:09.000 You know, use tactics your side enjoys.

00:28:11.000 That's what they've always done.

00:28:13.000 And I think for once, we sort of kind of started dabbling in that.

00:28:16.000 You know, I did, I told you, I caught the tail end of the SF Pride parade by accident.

00:28:22.000 I was stuck in a traffic jam and we were like, what are all these people?

00:28:25.000 And I just saw family after family in full head-to-toe rain bear rainbow gear with their little kids waving the flag.

00:28:32.000 So I think we should start having our own parades next Pride Month, you know, Family Pride Month.

00:28:38.000 Yeah, I think it's a great idea.

00:28:39.000 They would get the cartel would get very violent against us and it would make the Sinaola cartel look like child's play.

00:28:46.000 Very violent people, the trans folks are. 1.00

00:28:49.000 So, no, but Peachy, what are the lessons here? 0.97

00:28:52.000 I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I think that the gay mafia is less enthusiastic and public than they were a month ago. 0.99

00:29:03.000 They're a little uncertain.

00:29:05.000 I mean, there's some elements, but I finally, there's some pushback.

00:29:09.000 We're seeing it in public opinion polls.

00:29:11.000 We're seeing this trans tyranny fall out of favor with people. 1.00

00:29:14.000 And now I think we need to keep the pressure on throughout the summer.

00:29:19.000 And we were kind of lamenting going into Pride Month, but we saw Starbucks rescind some stuff.

00:29:26.000 We saw some people put up a flag and put down the flag.

00:29:30.000 I mean, there's still the colonized cities here or there where you see nothing but the flags.

00:29:34.000 But I don't want to say we're winning, but here's what I'll say.

00:29:38.000 And I've said it for a while.

00:29:39.000 I used to say we have not only begun to fight.

00:29:41.000 I think this month we have begun to fight.

00:29:44.000 Not to mention the strip club at the White House with the trans person that took off all their clothes. 1.00

00:29:49.000 Peachy, your thoughts. 0.90

00:29:51.000 Yeah, I think we have begun to fight.

00:29:52.000 I mean, basically, we lost.

00:29:54.000 We fully lost the first battle.

00:29:56.000 They won, right?

00:29:57.000 When they have drag queens inside a kindergarten classroom, they've won. 1.00

00:30:02.000 But now we have kind of started a new fight.

00:30:05.000 We are finally, the battle has finally really been joined.

00:30:08.000 I think it started with COVID, with parents speaking up at school board meetings and fighting back on all the mandates.

00:30:13.000 And now we have this big, juicy target.

00:30:15.000 And, you know, they really have pushed too far. 0.83

00:30:18.000 They've let their clown mask slip.

00:30:20.000 And we can see who these people are now.

00:30:23.000 They've taken it just so far.

00:30:26.000 And, you know, the level of nudity I witnessed at the parade in front of little kids, men and grown men, like nude with like a little strip of leather covering, you know, one square millimeter of their bodies.

00:30:38.000 These are not attractive people.

00:30:39.000 They are not going to be hard to defeat. 1.00

00:30:42.000 They're ludicrous. 0.99

00:30:44.000 Their message is completely empty. 1.00

00:30:45.000 It's a dead end.

00:30:46.000 It's a spiritual dead end.

00:30:48.000 It's a genetic dead end.

00:30:52.000 They want their constituents to sterilize their own children. 0.84

00:30:55.000 I mean, how far can they go?

00:30:57.000 It's over for them in a generation.

00:30:59.000 And so, yes, I think now is the time to put the pedal to the metal and take it to the finish line.

00:31:06.000 I agree.

00:31:06.000 It is a genetic dead end.

00:31:08.000 They cannot reproduce, so they have to try and recruit. 0.91

00:31:10.000 Peachy Keenan, thank you so much.

00:31:12.000 And Pride Month is gone.

00:31:14.000 And let next Pride Month be even weaker for the bad guys. 0.71

00:31:18.000 Thank you so much.

00:31:19.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:31:20.000 And I want to just say a couple things.

00:31:23.000 They're going after children and they are not stopping.

00:31:27.000 They will not stop unless we stop them.

00:31:32.000 It is that simple.

00:31:34.000 How do we stop them?

00:31:35.000 Well, I think we're finally starting to discover the resolve, the intestinal fortitude that is necessary, that is required to push back against the Rainbow Jihad's non-stop campaign on our country. 0.99

00:31:52.000 It's the final day of Pride Month, and we finally began to fight back.

00:31:55.000 We've made progress.

00:31:56.000 We put some wins on the board, and you all deserve credit for that.

00:31:59.000 The boycotts, the I'm not going to shop there, the you're not going to touch my kids, but we're not going to stop.

00:32:07.000 And for the alphabet cartel out there, I think they're finally afraid.

00:32:11.000 And they should be afraid.

00:32:12.000 Not afraid of any physical retaliation because we're a peaceful movement, but they should be afraid because what they're doing, grooming and perverting our children is unpopular.

00:32:20.000 And in the end, if we commit to this fight, we will win and the perverts will lose.

00:32:28.000 Thanks so much for listening.
