00:00:42.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:18.000This 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.
00:01:28.000But yesterday, we won a case called Grove versus U.S. Postal Service.
00:01:33.000And what it's about is religious freedom in the workplace.
00:01:37.000For 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.
00:01:51.000And it was really dishonest, the opinion.
00:01:54.000And we just completely flipped that around yesterday.
00:01:58.000So, you know, everybody looks at this and Charlie and they say, hey, this is just a guy that wanted to have his Sabbath.
00:02:07.000This is our client, Gerald Groff, who had strong beliefs about not working on Sunday.
00:02:12.000And he went to work for the Postal Service.
00:02:15.000And then all of a sudden, they started forcing people to deliver on Sunday.
00:02:18.000And he asked for an accommodation under federal laws.
00:02:22.000And they basically didn't give him the accommodation and pushed him out of his job.
00:02:29.000And 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.
00:02:37.000Well, that's now really totally changed.
00:02:41.000And it restored religious freedom protection in the workplace for every American who works.
00:02:47.000And this is going to be really significant way beyond just his type of case with the Sabbath.
00:02:54.000All these woke corporations that have been crushing people of faith, they're now going to have protection.
00:03:00.000Think of even what we went through with the pandemic.
00:03:03.000People who had religious objections to the vaccine, this is now going to give them a higher level of protection.
00:03:08.000So 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.
00:03:31.000I felt like we were going to win because it's just untenable to hold the position that really the Supreme Court did.
00:03:39.000To tell you what the Supreme Court was doing 46 years ago, it's because they had such a bizarre view.
00:03:46.000They thought that it violated separation of church and state to do anything favorable to religion like accommodate religion.
00:03:53.000And so they just redrafted the statute.
00:03:56.000Everybody 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.
00:04:07.000But we weren't, you know, we thought there might be some battling over this.
00:04:12.000And what ended up happening is the reason we got it nine is they didn't specifically and directly overturn that old case.
00:04:23.000And 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.
00:04:32.000And so they didn't want starry decisis.
00:04:35.000You know, in other words, you know, we've got to stick with the old precedents.
00:04:39.000They didn't want this one overturned because they want to keep some of the old things in place.
00:04:45.000And 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.
00:04:53.000And 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.
00:05:07.000I 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.
00:05:16.000I mean, how many of those people are in the shadows?
00:05:20.000How 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?
00:05:30.000I mean, there's now protection for people in these situations all across the country.
00:05:35.000We'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.
00:05:46.000Well, 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.
00:05:56.000So this is going to really send shockwaves in the corporate community in a good way that's going to protect people of faith.
00:06:04.000I know these weren't your other cases, but can you give some thoughts just on the other wins here?
00:06:10.000Affirmative action, student loan, and more the religious liberty one.
00:06:14.000It wasn't your case, from what I understand, the one in Colorado.
00:06:18.000So, your thoughts on first Colorado and then the others?
00:06:22.000Yeah, Colorado was 303 Creative, and we filed an amicus brief in that because we have very similar clients.
00:06:30.000We have clients in Oregon, Aaron and Melissa Klein, who were ordered by the state to do a gay wedding cake.
00:06:37.000And so, very similar to the 303 Creative.
00:06:43.000What 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.
00:06:50.000The court only accepted for review the free speech claim.
00:06:55.000So, there's not a, although they're religious, the whole case is based upon free speech.
00:07:01.000And so, what they said today is the government can't force you to say something you don't want to say.
00:07:08.000Everybody 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.
00:07:21.000So, it's not a matter of not serving people.
00:07:23.000It's a matter of not promoting other people's message.
00:07:29.000So, then the question is: can the government punish someone for not expressing a message that the government says is the only approved message?
00:07:38.000And I mean, it should have been nine to zero, to be honest, Charlie.
00:07:41.000I mean, if people were principled at all, it's nine to zero.
00:07:44.000But the three liberals just, you know, they tried to create a new case in the dissent.
00:09:40.000They're the only gold company I trust.
00:09:42.000If you want to buy gold, they do a great job.
00:09:45.000Noblegoldinvestments.com, they're patriotic, transparent, ethical, and responsive.
00:09:49.000I think the world of Noble Gold Investments is where I buy my gold from.
00:09:53.000You should do noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:09:58.000Kelly, I want to play a piece of tape of Scalia here.
00:10:01.000And this doesn't do the best job of it.
00:10:02.000There'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.
00:10:16.000And look at how much has changed in 11 years.
00:10:29.000Well, 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,
00:10:46.000the 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.
00:11:24.000We're not reading the Constitution anymore.
00:11:27.00011 years later, Kelly Shackelford, your reaction.
00:11:31.000Well, this is the huge thing that happened under Donald Trump with the justices on the Supreme Court.
00:11:38.000And, 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.
00:12:14.000And so, you know, obviously Roe v. Wade, everybody knows about the Dobbs decision.
00:12:19.000But 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.
00:12:29.000I mean, these are 50-year precedents that were just horrible.
00:12:38.000And 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.
00:12:50.000You know, most people think right now you can't have a nativity scene.
00:13:02.000We could just go on and on and on with things that have changed.
00:13:07.000And 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.
00:13:16.000And 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.
00:13:27.000They want a court pact, which means they want to add a number of justices to the Supreme Court, which would destroy the court.
00:13:35.000They have had threats out in front of their homes, and they won't enforce the law to stop that.
00:13:40.000They've had senator, a majority leader, go on the steps of the court and threaten two of the justices.
00:13:46.000And now they've got every day, if you watch, there's 10, 20 articles attacking the ethics of the justices, which are bogus articles.
00:13:56.000But 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.
00:14:07.000And so this is the one thing they don't control.
00:14:10.000And this is the one thing that's actually looking at what does the Constitution say.
00:14:16.000And so, boy, they are going after it with everything they've got.
00:14:19.000That'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.
00:14:37.000And if we stop that, then, boy, what's happening with our courts?
00:14:41.000We're just at the beginning of some great stuff.
00:16:57.000Well, I think that having a transgender Barbie in a movie that really is a beloved kids' toy is certainly a new thing.
00:17:06.000I 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.
00:17:18.000The other clues that this movie may not be what you think it is is that it's PG-13 or suggestive language.
00:17:24.000And 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?
00:17:31.000I couldn't believe what he was hearing.
00:17:34.000And 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.
00:17:45.000She, 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.
00:17:57.000But I was really surprised to see that there was a man as a Barbie.
00:17:59.000And now, you know, there's a lot of talk about, you know, accusing this, them of being groomers.
00:18:05.000And look, I think it's being misinterpreted.
00:18:07.000Like, 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.
00:18:19.000It's really about psychological grooming, right?
00:18:21.000So 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.
00:18:32.000And so that makes it like, okay, she passes or he passes or whatever.
00:18:38.000So 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.
00:18:49.000So just so everybody understands, so one of the kind of apparently this movie's a big deal, not my world.
00:19:28.000In this one, there's stereotypical Barbie played by Margot Robbie.
00:19:33.000And 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.
00:19:43.000Like, wow, this is like, is this movie-based?
00:19:45.000Is this going to be kind of a conservative trad Barbie?
00:19:48.000And yes, that character is, but she has, you know, her rainbow coalition of Barbies around her.
00:19:53.000I think there's one who's a lesbian in real life.
00:19:55.000And there's another actress who actually is also a lesbian.
00:19:59.000And then you have this, the man portraying one of the female Barbies.
00:20:04.000And I thought it was very incredible that the transgender woman Barbie is Dr. Barbie.
00:20:20.000I mean, just the various, why is Hollywood incapable of making positive, exciting, broadly appealing content?
00:20:28.000Why do they have to lace it with this trans propaganda?
00:20:32.000Yeah, 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.
00:20:44.000I mean, the new Disney Pixar flop, it's a giant colossal flop, elemental.
00:20:50.000I 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.
00:21:06.000And 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.
00:21:22.000And so Disney's just producing flop after flop.
00:21:25.000With this movie with Mattel, they've been dabbling in wokeism now for like a long time with all the different Barbies.
00:21:32.000Like I said, they did have a transgender Barbie doll, but they're trying to cover all their bases.
00:21:38.000And 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.
00:21:48.000And so again, we have just an unbelievably boneheaded decision.
00:21:54.000The CEO of Mattel, Yvonne Creese, Yvonne Creese, he has been, you know, they've been planning Barbie movie for years.
00:22:02.000They've been working on it, different ideas.
00:22:04.000Amy Schumer backed out of playing Barbie because it wasn't woke enough.
00:22:10.000And then enter Greta Gerwig, who is a female screenwriter.
00:22:14.000She's the one who kind of made little women into a girl boss, modernized girl boss, teenage adventure movie.
00:22:22.000And 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.
00:22:36.000And the thing that's so insidious about this movie is that when you see the trailer, it looks so fun.
00:22:41.000It looks like such a perfect fun, the colors and the pink, and it's just so cute, right?
00:22:48.000Who wouldn't love to go to this movie?
00:24:05.000I 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.
00:24:13.000I mean, look, we were going to do that.
00:24:15.000That was the plan as of a couple of days ago.
00:24:17.000We were all going to go see it, all the friends.
00:24:20.000And 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.
00:24:30.000Like, it's just, it normalizes it to such a degree.
00:24:34.000And that is why they're targeting the children.
00:24:54.000It'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.
00:25:02.000You know, what are all our, what are our alternatives?
00:25:05.000It 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.
00:25:13.000These were like four quadrant family-friendly movies.
00:25:17.000You know, maybe there'd be one S-word in the whole movie.
00:26:11.000Just 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.
00:26:20.000I'm urgently asking you to support the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste to stop the Senate from passing the Sanders bill S1339.
00:26:28.000It 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.
00:26:37.000Bernie Sanders, he does, he is a sneaky commie.
00:27:06.000All of us together must oppose the Marxist Bernie Sanders lowermydrugprices.com.
00:27:13.000So, 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.
00:27:22.000How 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?
00:27:48.000I think that people started having fun with the pushbacks.
00:27:51.000People were enjoying seeing the price of the Bud Light stock go into the toilet.
00:27:55.000So 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.
00:28:09.000You know, use tactics your side enjoys.
00:30:26.000And, 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.
00:31:35.000Well, 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.
00:31:52.000It's the final day of Pride Month, and we finally began to fight back.
00:32:12.000Not 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.
00:32:20.000And in the end, if we commit to this fight, we will win and the perverts will lose.
