00:00:22.000Get involved with Turning PointUSA Today at tpusa.com.
00:01:15.000His 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.
00:01:24.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:49.000Well, a groomer is someone who is sexually exploiting a child, exposing them to things that they should not expose them to.
00:01:56.000They build a relationship, trust, and emotional connection with a child or young person, and then they manipulate that, otherwise known as our public school system.
00:02:05.000It's very mainline belief that our public schools are actively engaged in grooming.
00:02:10.000Grooming is the deliberate act of bringing a child into a sexual, political, or racial ideology, practice culture lifestyle without the knowledge or consent of his or her parent for the aim of isolating them from their family so the external party can abuse and manipulate them.
00:02:24.000That's, of course, what's happening in our public schools.
00:02:27.000It is at direct odds against the biblical commandment to honor the parents, honor your mother and father so they may live long in the land of which you are in.
00:02:33.000Only commandment that involves your nation and involves a promise.
00:02:37.000Now, so the entire Democrat Party is defending wildly gross policies of potentially decriminalizing pedophilia, normalizing grooming, getting really upset because in Florida, Ron DeSantis has signed into law a bill that pushes back against teachers being able to sexualize children.
00:05:05.000We got tons of emails from you across the country saying, oh, yeah, I'd say at least, we got emails from parents saying, yes, half of my eight-year-old's public school class is gay.
00:05:14.000Can you send me that teacher one you sent, Connor?
00:06:14.000Look at this from a Washington Post article.
00:06:16.000Quote, Philip Hammock, a psychology professor and director of the Sexual and Gender Diversity Laboratory at University of California, Santa Cruz, said Gallup's findings are, quote, extremely exciting and consistent with his own research about young people identifying as gay in California.
00:06:29.000A key reason for the growth of how many people are gay, he said, is the internet.
00:06:34.000When Hammock was coming out in the 90s, there was no YouTube, no Instagram, no easy way to research sexuality or gender outside of a library or a gay straight alliance group.
00:06:42.000Today, teenagers have all this information at their fingertips.
00:06:44.000Quote, the rigid lines around gender and sexuality are just opening up for everybody.
00:08:30.000Texas teacher said at the independent school district in Texas, Black Shire Elementary School hosted a pride parade for elementary schools, which was dubbed a wellness walk.
00:08:41.000It takes away the experience of celebrating pride.
00:08:43.000I feel that it's inappropriate to call our parade a wellness walk at all.
00:08:46.000Well, I understand that wellness walk is something that was previously in motion to promote health and fitness, and it's something we want to continue.
00:08:52.000Really takes away from the experience of celebrating pride.
00:08:55.000So you're a fourth grader, you just start doing the math.
00:09:54.000There's something that is grooming or sending children into these behaviors.
00:10:00.000And on one side, you have the parents' party that's like, wait a second, the parents' party that says, hold on, like 20 out of 32 fourth graders think they're gay.
00:10:12.000When I was in fourth grade, no one thought of any of that at all.
00:10:17.000And now this stuff is just being just sent down.
00:10:31.000So while we have the parents' party on one side that is advocating for a non-sexualized education, that is advocating for eternal principles rooted in the natural law, non-controversial stuff.
00:10:42.000On the other side, we have the pervert party.
00:10:45.000So we have the parents' party and the pervert party, which is basically dividing the country.
00:10:52.000And the pervert party, they want to go after your children.
00:11:30.000We're saying the practice of allowing this to happen without stopping it probably, not just probably, certainly has the output of 40% of young people being gay.
00:11:40.000And so we look at this and we say, okay, let's play this out.
00:13:30.000Meredith Roberts and our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my not-at-all secret gay agenda.
00:13:38.000And so all that like momentum that I felt, like that sense of I don't have to be afraid to like, let's have these two characters kiss.
00:13:47.000Let's in the background this, like I was just wherever I could, just basically adding queerness to like, if you see anything queer in the show, come around them.
00:13:56.000But like I just was like, no one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.
00:14:00.000That's a Disney executive says we have the not-no-secret, say it's not so secret gay agenda.
00:14:05.000We're adding queerness at every single corner.
00:14:48.000Go teach in New York or France or wherever, where you want to go groom a sixth grader about how to be a lesbian or whatever it is that they want to do.
00:15:31.000And we're going to have exclusive first reactions from Senator Mike Lee, the good man from Utah, unlike Spencer Cox, who got my suspicions about Spencer Cox.
00:15:42.000That's a separate issue for another time.
00:16:14.000You guys are welcome on my show to ever talk about that.
00:16:17.000I noticed that the pro-groomers, they don't like to talk about it.
00:16:20.000They don't like talking about how children are being groomed.
00:16:23.000Have they been on TikTok and they've seen these hundreds, if not thousands, of videos of teachers literally coming out and talking about lesbian and gay sexual matters with five-year-olds?
00:17:49.000There are very few people in the United States Senate that I have a great deal of respect for, but this man has been fighting for liberty, for the Constitution, for separation of powers, consent to the governed for years.
00:18:00.000And he's in a tough reelection bid in Utah, of all places, and he needs your help and your support.
00:18:19.000Look, she's got some impressive qualifications academically and professionally.
00:18:23.000I'm concerned about her judicial philosophy and therefore can't vote for her.
00:18:26.000What I mean by that is she doesn't have an appropriate relationship with the role of the federal judge, which is narrow and it's supposed to focus on interpreting the law rather than making policy.
00:18:42.000There are too many instances in which she has done the latter when her job is limited to the former.
00:18:47.000So she was narrowly confirmed with 53 votes.
00:18:50.000Talk more about kind of her philosophical view of what she thinks a judge needs to be, more activistic, a living or breathing constitution, kind of in the tradition of Ruth Bader Ginsburg or the Warren Court or the Burger Court, when in reality, we've kind of seen this really exciting revival of people more in the tradition of Scalia.
00:19:09.000Talk about how she's kind of a departure, obviously, because of who nominated her, Joe Biden, and what that could mean for Liberty and for citizens watching the show.
00:19:18.000Yeah, you know, I think she'll be to the left, not only of the Republican-appointed nominees to the Supreme Court, but I think she's probably to the left of Earl Warren, of Harry Blackman, of Stephen Breyer.
00:19:34.000I think she is a liberal ideologue, a very smart liberal ideologue who's shown her colors in the past.
00:19:41.000For instance, by enjoining Trump-era administrative decisions that were outside of her jurisdiction.
00:19:49.000On at least two occasions, she took a Trump-era executive action and invalidated it in the absence of a valid cause of action, really in the absence of jurisdiction, and was twice reversed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, which is a very left-leaning appellate court.
00:20:10.000She did this just like her deviations from sentencing law and sentencing guidelines in sentencing child pornography defendants, some of the most vile crimes known to humanity.
00:20:22.000And she appeared to give them the absolute bare minimum, not just bare minimum under the law, but significantly below where the law would have set the sentence.
00:20:32.000And so, the only thing I'll push back a little bit on, Senator, just kind of jokingly, is, I mean, she couldn't define what a woman is.
00:20:38.000And so, for that, for me, I just do you have any reaction of that?
00:20:41.000I mean, where are we in America where that's like a controversial question?
00:20:46.000Yeah, you know, I almost couldn't believe my ears when I heard Senator Blackburn ask the question and when I heard her response, saying, I'm not a biologist, so I can't tell you.
00:20:59.000And far from this being just some sort of fanciful hypothetical, this is a pretty relevant situation.
00:21:07.000There are myriad instances in which a judge or a Supreme Court justice would have to interpret the word woman or interpret the concept of sex.
00:21:18.000And if she can't identify, if she can't even begin to define what a woman is, that's also troubling.
00:21:31.000I think you're with the voters, you're with the people.
00:21:34.000And then there's kind of a, let's just say, a pretty bitter group of people in Utah that just don't like a great senator that fights for liberty.
00:21:42.000Just give our national audience a little bit of a picture of what's happening in Utah politically.
00:21:48.000Got an independent challenger coming after me, a guy named Evan McMullen.
00:21:51.000Evan McMullen is running as an independent, and he's trying to, he's teaming up with Democrats.
00:21:58.000He's teaming up with some very prominent Democrats in Utah, trying to convince the Democratic Party not to field a candidate to run against me.
00:22:06.000In this instance, if he were to succeed, and he appears to be making considerable headway in doing so, he could make this a single-digit race, you know, possibly a five-point race.
00:22:18.000But look, the bottom line is he's someone who voted for Joe Biden.
00:22:23.000He encouraged other people to vote for Joe Biden.
00:22:25.000He's praised Joe Biden left and right.
00:22:27.000He criticized everything Donald Trump ever did as president.
00:22:33.000And now he wants to cobble together this group of Trump-hating Republicans with a few independents and a whole bunch of Democrats to try to defeat me.
00:22:42.000Look, the voters of Utah aren't going to go for that at the end of the day, but he's going to make it really difficult.
00:22:46.000And he could make this a very tight race.
00:22:48.000One thing we also know about Evan McMullen, we know that he will not caucus with Republicans, which means that if he's elected, if he were somehow to defeat me, this could independently cost the Republican Party the opportunity to gain the majority this fall.
00:23:37.000At the end of the day, we will have a decision to make.
00:23:39.000I hope that decision will be for majority leader.
00:23:43.000But that is a decision that makes no sense to try to litigate now in advance of the election.
00:23:48.000And I suspect some of the alleged palace intrigue may be exaggerated, but there's some legitimate differences of opinion over Rick Scott's plan.
00:23:59.000I personally encourage my colleagues to come forward with plans, plans of what they would like to do, what they would like to see the Republican Party focusing on.
00:24:10.000So if we take back the Senate, which I think we will, what's the mandate, Senator?
00:24:14.000What are you going to be spending your time on?
00:24:16.000There's been so many injustices done that I think are worthy of investigation.
00:24:20.000Fauci, you know, the origins of the virus, mass mandates, vaccine mandates.
00:24:25.000What are you really going to focus on if we get the majority back, especially from an oversight capacity and from the committees you sit on?
00:24:32.000So since you mentioned oversight, oversight is going to be a big issue from Fauci-related issues to abuses in almost every part of the executive branch of the federal government.
00:24:48.000What's been spent, what's remained unspent, why?
00:24:52.000There's going to be a target-rich environment for investigating things, to say nothing of the Hunter Biden fiasco.
00:24:59.000I think a lot of those things will immediately be on the table.
00:25:02.000On a substantive policy level, I think we're going to need to look at government spending and how to reform it.
00:25:07.000I think there will be a stronger call than ever to reform the way Congress is passing, Congress passes appropriations measures.
00:25:15.000We've got to abandon once and for all this practice of waiting till the last minute before the expiration of a spending period and then allowing what I call the law firm currently constituted as the law firm of Schumer, McConnell, Pelosi, McCarthy.
00:25:30.000The law firm emerges from the caverns beneath the Capitol with a 2,714-page bill that spends $1.5 trillion and says, okay, we only have a few hours left.
00:25:41.000You either got to vote for all of this or none of it.
00:25:44.000But if you vote against it, you'll be accused of causing a government shutdown.
00:25:47.000That can't happen, not on our watch, never, ever again.
00:25:51.000So that's one of my top priorities, in part because it's one of the things that's driving inflation.
00:25:56.000In Utah, people are paying $582 a month more for everything they buy just because of this runaway government spending.
00:26:08.000Also, I've got a broad array of regulatory, federal regulatory reform legislation that we need to examine is another contributor to inflation.
00:26:18.000Energy is also going to be a big part of this ticket.
00:26:21.000We've got these moratoriums put in place on oil and gas leasing on federal lands.
00:27:04.000I mean, you've seen it on our judiciary committee.
00:27:07.000Even when the Democrats call committees, one of the many bad things about not having the majority is that we're not in charge of the hearings, but they'll call a hearing for one purpose and we're able to still ask questions of Attorney General Merrick Garland, top officials of the FBI, about what we want to talk about.
00:27:23.000Now, they can gavel us out when our time has expired, and we can't issue the subpoenas that we'd like to.
00:27:28.000All that will change when we get the majority because we'll be able to ask tough questions.
00:27:32.000Tough questions like, why on earth did you collude with outside leftist groups in order to brand concerned American parents as domestic terrorists?
00:27:45.000And the difference is we'll be able to ask the question then as we have now, but this time they can't filibuster us until our clock runs out because this time we'll be able to issue subpoenas.

00:31:10.000It really cannot be stressed enough that Republicans are not your friends.
00:31:14.000At critical moments, at pivotal junctures, they will stab you in the back like Spencer Koch tried to do.
00:31:20.000But thankfully, Utah seems like one of these rare examples where there is a large, a growing contingency of Republican lawmakers who are at least proceeding from the understanding that I need to do what my constituents want me to do in order for me to fulfill my role in office.
00:31:37.000Paige, that ties perfectly into what we were just talking about with Senator Mike Lee, kind of what's happening in Utah.
00:31:45.000It's very interesting about how some of the most conservative states in the country just get totally hijacked by these fake Republicans.
00:31:52.000I mean, Spencer Cox, what a weak, cowardly man, lacking of principles, lacking of conviction.
00:32:04.000And I think Spencer Cox's case is very illustrative of this relationship between woke capital and progressive ideology.
00:32:11.000You know, what explains the bizarre behavior of guys like Cox and Romney who consistently side with the people who want to sexualize our children, these so-called groomers?
00:32:24.000Well, like you pointed out, it actually tends to pay pretty well.
00:32:28.000For example, Cox's financial disclosures from last year show that Zion's Bang Corporation is his biggest corporate donor.
00:32:35.000Zion has a friendly relationship with Troy Williams, the executive director of Equality Utah, an LGBT advocacy organization.
00:32:45.000Could it be that it's not just coward, it's corruption?
00:32:50.000I've said for a while that these pharmaceutical companies, the very same pharmaceutical companies that are the ones that are behind the vaccine mandates, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Johnson, and Johnson, there is a massive opportunity here to expose how the pharmaceutical companies are also standing to make billions of dollars putting puberty blockers and homeborne blockers.
00:33:12.000There is a financial incentive behind this entire program.
00:33:18.000There is a financial incentive behind trying to sexualize your children.
00:34:55.000Well, there's a couple of things to say here.
00:34:57.000One is, even if you are looking for a threshold, let's say there's a threshold.
00:35:01.000I'm making this number up, but let's say it's at age eight.
00:35:05.000Still, that tells you that some adult child sex is permissible.
00:35:09.000Second, the notion that it's wrong even with a one-year-old is not quite obvious to me.
00:35:16.000Are reports in some cultures of grandmothers fillating their baby boys to calm them down when a colochy.
00:35:23.000Now, I don't know if it's true, but this is sort of widely reported as occurring in at least one culture and it working, that the grandmothers believe this actually works.
00:35:31.000If this were to be true, and again, I don't know it to be true, if it were to be true, it's hard to see what would be wrong with it.
00:35:38.000So, yeah, I guess I think, no, I don't think there's a blanket period beyond which this is permissible if we're interested in willing participation.
00:35:48.000That's a professor who says, I don't know what would be wrong with having sex with a one-year-old.
00:35:53.000Where's the difference between the governor of Utah and that professor?
00:35:57.000You've got to stand up to Republicans, sometimes even more than Democrats.
00:36:00.000Thank you so much for listening, everybody.
