00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show from the Bitcoin Mobile Studio.

00:00:04.000 Andrew Colvett in for the one and only Charlie Kirk.

00:00:07.000 He'll be back in tomorrow, never fear.

00:00:09.000 We have a really, really good show today.

00:00:11.000 And I don't say that lightly.

00:00:13.000 We talk about the incredible, like, movie-esque, video game-esque drone attack that happened inside the interior of Moscow.

00:00:24.000 Terrifying stuff that is just leading to...

00:00:31.000 Blake Neff joins me for that discussion and breaks in all the details.

00:00:33.000 You're not going to want to miss it.

00:00:34.000 It's just absolutely stunning.

00:00:36.000 Operation Spider's Web.

00:00:38.000 They've been planning it for 18 months.

00:00:40.000 And then I welcome Alex Marlowe, Editor-in-Chief of Breitbart News and also host the Alex Marlowe Show, to talk about Pride Month.

00:00:48.000 Where has it gone?

00:00:49.000 Is it more muted this year?

00:00:51.000 Is it on its way out?

00:00:52.000 What can we do to help?

00:00:53.000 Hurry, it's demise.

00:00:55.000 And then we talk about mental health.

00:00:57.000 Is there a big divide between conservatives and liberals?

00:01:00.000 You're not going to miss these details.

00:01:02.000 Pretty shocking divergence on the two political movements in this country when it comes to mental health.

00:03:01.000 Hey everybody, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:03:03.000 Andrew Colvitt in for the one and only Charlie Kirk today.

00:03:06.000 Honored to be with you, and I'm joined by Blake Neff, Roman historian extraordinaire and many other things.

00:03:13.000 Blake, welcome.

00:03:14.000 Howdy, Andrew.

00:03:15.000 Good to see you.

00:03:15.000 Good to see you as well.

00:03:17.000 Charlie is on assignment.

00:03:18.000 He'll be back for the rest of the week, never fear.

00:03:21.000 So, Blake.

00:03:22.000 You and I were talking this morning and we sort of didn't hit a very, very big story in the world of geopolitics, namely what Russian bloggers are calling The Russian Pearl Harbor.

00:03:36.000 And of course, we're talking about the drone strike carried out by Ukrainian forces.

00:03:41.000 They smuggled drones into the interior of Russia.

00:03:45.000 And what amounts to a major escalation of that conflict, right as peace talks are ongoing in Istanbul, Trump has sort of thrown up his hands at both the Ukrainians and the Russians.

00:03:57.000 And we're seeing that, unfortunately, for the world and for the prospects of World War III, Ending a war is extraordinarily difficult, and especially when you get dug in, when either side thinks that they're either being forced or asked to concede too much or concede too little,

00:04:17.000 especially if you're Russia and you think you're winning this war, and Ukraine looking to make a punch Russia right in the eye, right in the face, to say, hey, we still have cards to play, echoing back to Trump's famous statements within the Oval Office with Vladimir Zelensky.

00:04:34.000 And J.D. Vance.

00:04:36.000 So, Blake, the details of this strike are striking.

00:04:41.000 It almost reads like a movie.

00:04:43.000 Why don't you walk us through how Ukraine was able to execute what they're calling Operation Spider's Web deep into the heart of Russia. 0.51

00:04:52.000 Yeah, Andrew, it is genuinely a solid.

00:04:55.000 It's a lot like a movie.

00:04:56.000 It's also a lot like a video game.

00:04:58.000 That's pretty funny because I heard comparisons to one I've actually played before.

00:05:03.000 It's called Ace Combat.

00:05:05.000 So it was done with drones, unmanned drones.

00:05:10.000 Several hundred of them, I believe.

00:05:11.000 I think they said it...

00:05:16.000 But what they did is they weren't flown in just from Ukraine.

00:05:19.000 They were smuggled into Russia.

00:05:21.000 And at least what they're publicly claiming they did is they were packaged in cargo containers that were designed to look like they were carrying prefabricated housing.

00:05:34.000 The reason they did this is since it was prefabricated housing, they had a good excuse for why.

00:05:39.000 Why do these cargo containers have solar panels on top of them?

00:05:43.000 Well, they weren't for the roofs of housing.

00:05:45.000 They were to keep the drones charged.

00:05:48.000 They actually were just using them to keep the drones powered up as long as they needed them.

00:05:51.000 And then they could launch them whenever they were in place and ready.

00:05:55.000 Reportedly, they were planning this operation for 18 months before they launched it.

00:05:59.000 And so they got these containers into Russia.

00:06:02.000 They got them.

00:06:04.000 Outside of these different bases they want to attack.

00:06:06.000 And to give you a sense of the scale here, one of the bases they attacked was just outside Murmansk, Russia.

00:06:12.000 If you look that up on a map, it's in the Arctic Circle.

00:06:15.000 It's in the far northwest of Russia, close to Finland.

00:06:19.000 And on the other end of Russia, another place they hit was in Amur province.

00:06:24.000 That's way out in far eastern Russia.

00:06:27.000 It's close to China.

00:06:28.000 It's close to Japan.

00:06:30.000 They hit a base there.

00:06:31.000 They also hit a base at Irkutsk.

00:06:33.000 That is in central Siberia near Mongolia.

00:06:37.000 And they hit two air bases closer to Moscow.

00:06:39.000 So they really hit every single part of Russia with this attack.

00:06:44.000 They claim they took out several dozen of these heavy bombers that Russia has.

00:06:50.000 These bombers, they can be used for delivering nuclear weapons, but the reason they wanted to hit them was they're also used for delivering cruise missiles, other heavy ordnance.

00:07:00.000 And so they took them out.

00:07:03.000 They're claiming they took out about $7 billion worth of Russian airplanes, which is quite a few.

00:07:11.000 And as we've learned with these drones, they can be made incredibly cheaply by command.

00:07:24.000 The drones by Jake Sullivan during the Biden administration.

00:07:28.000 U.S. taxpayers poured $1.5 billion into developing these drones that were probably used to coordinate and execute this attack.

00:07:35.000 So American fingerprints are very much all over this.

00:07:39.000 I want to, I mean, so it's 117 drones.

00:07:41.000 We're talking about to the Arctic Circle near Japan, closer to the border, around Moscow.

00:07:48.000 Right in north of Mongolia and Siberia.

00:07:51.000 I mean, this was a very widespread attack.

00:07:54.000 Vladimir Zelensky is saying that this was a brilliant execution.

00:07:58.000 And again, the peace negotiations are ongoing in Istanbul.

00:08:03.000 So turning our attention to that, Blake, I mean, so it's fair to say Russia got hit pretty hard.

00:08:12.000 But this doesn't fundamentally change their nuclear capability.

00:08:16.000 It maybe stretches their capacity somewhat, right?

00:08:20.000 That they now have maybe a third less of these heavy bombers that can deliver nuclear blows.

00:08:24.000 We're not hopefully getting to that point.

00:08:27.000 That's the big question.

00:08:28.000 Are we escalating towards a potential World War III?

00:08:31.000 That's been the risk with this conflict from the beginning.

00:08:35.000 There's some news reports that are saying Vladimir Putin is being urged to consider nuclear weapons.

00:08:40.000 And but even if he doesn't go that far, Blake, I mean, a ballistic missile, I've seen video footage of that in eastern Ukraine where they drop these.

00:09:01.000 Those are devastating in and of themselves.

00:09:03.000 Does this change Russian calculus of what they're able to do inside Ukraine?

00:09:07.000 Well, it gets into, you know, the big picture, which is, you know, we've heard people who have been saying, you know, the war is three months from ending for, you know, three years now.

00:09:17.000 And I think this is mostly a signal that, hey, like, Ukraine can still make things hurt a lot. 0.98

00:09:25.000 They can cause a lot of embarrassment.

00:09:27.000 There's a lot of ways this can damage them.

00:09:29.000 And so in a sense, you could say that's actually a play for peace in that And I think a barrier to serious escalation that is helpful is Trump is so clearly in favor of getting a peace deal.

00:09:46.000 With Biden, we had Biden saying Putin has to go.

00:09:49.000 He's using this regime change rhetoric.

00:09:51.000 He was showing no interest in negotiation.

00:09:53.000 Trump clearly wants to negotiate.

00:09:56.000 He's clearly pressured Ukraine to make some concessions.

00:10:00.000 And it seems, based on his anger, that it's Russia that is less interested in peace than Ukraine, which can make sense. 0.99

00:10:06.000 They have more reserves overall.

00:10:09.000 But I think that's a helpful barrier to this escalating too far.

00:10:14.000 I mean, if Putin actually used nuclear weapons, I think that would very quickly turn almost the entire world against him because it would be so extreme and frankly so unjustified.

00:10:25.000 So we have to hope that doesn't happen.

00:10:48.000 Hard to know if that is, you know, brinksmanship or, you know, sort of the PR role of this.

00:10:56.000 I'm going to take their word for it that they didn't know beforehand.

00:10:59.000 All of this complicates a very high-wire act peace negotiation that's going in Istanbul right now.

00:11:07.000 Oh, for sure.

00:11:08.000 Oh, for sure.

00:11:08.000 And another angle that is very important to emphasize here is this clearly is something we should worry about, too.

00:11:15.000 It's a good point towards the need to secure the border and also just...

00:11:22.000 America, we have tons of shipping containers coming into this country all of the time.

00:11:27.000 And any country can afford drones like this.

00:11:31.000 That's what's really crazy is North Korea, Iran, really poor countries could be developing these drones and ship them in quietly in a container and use them to hit things in the United States.

00:11:43.000 And we'll probably be seeing this.

00:11:45.000 In the future someday.

00:11:47.000 And we need to start talking right now about being ready for that.

00:11:50.000 Yeah, that's a really good point.

00:11:51.000 And actually, you kind of remind me of the terror attack that happened in Boulder, Colorado.

00:11:58.000 Tom Homan's warning that it's just a matter of time until we get more of that in the interior of the United States.

00:12:05.000 With all the talk about tariffs, high prices, and the stock market, most people are feeling the financial pinch.

00:12:10.000 If that's you, don't liquidate stocks and take a loss before calling my friends Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:12:19.000 They can look at helping you reduce your mortgage payments, consolidate those high interest credit cards, pay student loan debt, or whatever you want.

00:12:46.000 Call Andrew and Todd.

00:12:48.000 They're the guys I trust with my finances and they can help you too.

00:12:51.000 888-888-1172.

00:12:53.000 That is 888-888-1172 or That's AndrewAndTodd.com.

00:12:58.000 That's AndrewAndTodd.com.

00:13:01.000 So, Blake, you were talking about the soft targets, vulnerabilities that we have to contend with here.

00:13:07.000 This drone technology is really going to change the way that warfare is executed in many different theaters across the world, but definitely here in the United States, kind of makes me think of Golden Dome, kind of makes me think of hardening our own southern border, but there's that northern border, which is huge.

00:13:26.000 People don't talk about it or think about it as much, but it is a vulnerability.

00:13:30.000 Reflect on what happened in Boulder, Colorado, and dive deeper into what you're thinking there, Blake. 0.94

00:13:36.000 Well, so there's Boulder, Colorado, of course, where you just have a guy who came across the border and shouldn't have been in this country, and he was just a lunatic, thankfully. 0.98

00:13:46.000 Went nuts, tried to kill people by setting them on fire. 0.98

00:13:50.000 Thankfully, he was nuts and inept, so nobody died currently. 0.99

00:13:53.000 But it's trivially easy to imagine... 0.99

00:14:00.000 We had this effectively open border with Earth for four years under Joe Biden.

00:14:06.000 It wasn't just people coming from Mexico.

00:14:08.000 It wasn't just people from Venezuela or Haiti.

00:14:11.000 we had literally tens of thousands of people who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border who came from China and got in.

00:14:19.000 And you hear wild stories like Chinese gangsters basically took over the illegal, Things like that.

00:14:29.000 Another story I always find myself thinking of, you can Google this, in Fresno, California, the Chinese managed to build an entire illegal secret bio lab in like a warehouse in Fresno. 0.79

00:14:43.000 And we don't really know what the purpose of it was, but someone built an illegal entire bio lab.

00:14:48.000 That we only found months or years later.

00:14:51.000 So if you're able to sneak that kind of thing in and pull it off, you can sneak in and pull off just about anything.

00:14:57.000 And what we see overall is there's been a change in the nature of warfare.

00:15:04.000 You think 100 years ago in World War II, what mattered was, what's your overall industrial output?

00:15:10.000 Can you make thousands and thousands of very simple tanks and planes and guns and artillery and all of that?

00:15:25.000 And that was great for America. 0.90

00:15:27.000 We could build these bombers that, you know, stealth bombers that could drop these extremely high tech bombs that we could pilot into a specific spot.

00:15:35.000 And you could just blow anyone to smithereens and we could beat, you know, any country in a war with almost no casualties.

00:15:40.000 Now what we see, though, is this rise of the power of war.

00:15:47.000 That we can build a robot that, you know, for a few thousand bucks, you can build a robot that you can stick a bomb on, stick a gun on, and it can fly basically anywhere.

00:15:58.000 Or go look at what Boston Dynamics is building.

00:16:00.000 You'll be able to build a little robot dog-looking thing.

00:16:03.000 And again, put a bomb on it, put a gun on it, and you can hide it anywhere, and it can attack anywhere, and nobody's life is at risk. 0.84

00:16:10.000 You know, suicide attacks have always been possible.

00:16:14.000 And the biggest barrier to them, frankly, is there's a limit on how many people are literally willing to kill themselves to fight for a cause.

00:16:22.000 But now you're getting rid of that limitation.

00:16:24.000 You can do fully autonomous attacks with robots, with drones, and suddenly suicide-style attacks can happen anywhere without having to sacrifice anybody.

00:16:35.000 And really, the reason we don't see them in the United States is, thankfully...

00:16:45.000 And thankfully, under President Trump, we seem committed to not getting into one of those wars.

00:16:50.000 But I fear that if it were to happen, even against a marginal country like Iran, you could very quickly realize there are a lot of vulnerabilities in the United States that are shockingly easy to hit.

00:17:02.000 Yeah, I think you're spot on.

00:17:04.000 Let's go ahead and play – I think it's 321.

00:17:09.000 This is Tom Homan's warning to us.

00:17:11.000 321.

00:17:12.000 I've been doing this for 40 years.

00:17:14.000 It should have scared out of every American what the Biden administration did. 0.77

00:17:18.000 This 2 million known gotaways scares the hell out of me.

00:17:21.000 So I'm convinced something's coming unless we can find them.

00:17:25.000 Over 2 million known gotaways and Tom Homan with the stern warning to all of us.

00:17:31.000 And I'll never forget.

00:17:32.000 I have the team pulling the clip.

00:17:33.000 In lieu of having the clip of that one scene at the southern border where it was just completely wide open and it was some sort of Muslim crossing the border.

00:17:45.000 I don't know if you'd call him a jihadist.

00:17:46.000 He certainly sounded like one.

00:17:47.000 And he said, you know, there was a cameraman interviewing him.

00:17:51.000 He said, you don't know who I am?

00:17:53.000 You're going to know who I am.

00:17:55.000 You just wait.

00:17:55.000 You're going to find out who I am.

00:17:58.000 And those types of warnings should keep our law enforcement Ask 10 people to define

00:18:28.000 the word capitalism.

00:18:29.000 How many different responses do you think you'll get?

00:18:31.000 This is a word that comes up all the time, but does anyone know what it really means?

00:19:25.000 All right, let's welcome in Alex Marlowe, editor-in-chief of Breitbart.

00:19:29.000 Alex, how are you doing today?

00:19:31.000 I'm new, great Andrew.

00:19:32.000 Always nice to be on the Kirk Show, either with you or Charlie.

00:19:35.000 Well, I appreciate that.

00:19:36.000 I appreciate that a lot.

00:19:38.000 You know, so, Alex, I was talking with you in the break, and, you know, we just, we have to hit this.

00:19:45.000 What a year, what a difference a year makes, especially when it comes to June.

00:19:49.000 June may be the most pronounced difference, most pronounced difference.

00:19:57.000 And that, of course, is because it's Pride Month or used to be Pride Month.

00:20:01.000 Tell us what you're seeing in corporate America, Alex.

00:20:04.000 Are corporations sort of tacitly agreeing to this Pride stuff and it's behind the scenes?

00:20:10.000 Every year before this, you would see them change their logos.

00:20:14.000 It would be all over.

00:20:15.000 We're not seeing that this year, are we?

00:20:17.000 Yeah, not quite as much.

00:20:19.000 It's really interesting.

00:20:19.000 By the way, I think Trump missed an opportunity here, Andrew, and it's too late for this, but maybe he could do it next year.

00:20:24.000 What he needs to do on May 31st is declare June Black History Month.

00:20:29.000 And then declare Pride Month February the shortest month.

00:20:33.000 He needs to switch them.

00:20:34.000 So then we'll do two Black History Months in the same year, and then we'll have no Pride. 0.90

00:20:37.000 And the Pride Month left to wait and become the shortest month.

00:20:39.000 And he could do this, and I don't know if he can unilaterally do this, but he should try it and just see how that goes, see how people react, just like people's hair on fire.

00:20:46.000 You can't get mad at that, can you?

00:20:48.000 No, I don't think so.

00:20:49.000 I don't think so.

00:20:50.000 It's time to rectify this.

00:20:52.000 Yeah, it's really interesting to track because it's sort of the way you see, for example, with Sanctuary City.

00:20:57.000 So we vote against Sanctuary City.

00:20:59.000 Sanctuary cities in this country.

00:21:00.000 We vote for President Trump.

00:21:01.000 We vote for conservatives.

00:21:02.000 And then LA immediately enacts more sanctuary city policies after the November election.

00:21:08.000 San Francisco now is doing the thing where basically if you get a 21%, you can get an A in your class.

00:21:15.000 Oh, they walked that back, by the way, Alex.

00:21:17.000 After blowback.

00:21:19.000 Oh, good.

00:21:19.000 Thank you.

00:21:20.000 But you know where their heart is.

00:21:21.000 That's where their heart is, is that we're going to go lean into the equity.

00:21:25.000 We're going to lean into the DEI.

00:21:26.000 But much of the country is throwing their hands up and saying, this is over.

00:21:30.000 The woke moment's over.

00:21:31.000 There's some good examples of that.

00:21:33.000 So we were tracking at Breitbart.

00:21:35.000 We've been tracking Target, which Target was one of the leaders of having the pride displays.

00:21:40.000 And they're really pulling back on it.

00:21:42.000 They're doing almost nothing.

00:21:43.000 And this was our audience went crazy for this.

00:21:45.000 So Target toning down all.

00:21:47.000 But then you see things, Andrew, that almost shock the system.

00:21:52.000 The PBS doing Sesame Street Pride.

00:21:55.000 So Sesame Street is designed for young children.

00:21:57.000 And they put out a tweet or a social post where it's not just the gay colors, it's the trans colors.

00:22:05.000 So this is Sesame Street, government-funded for preschoolers, grooming children. 0.95

00:22:10.000 This should outrage every American.

00:22:12.000 And I'm not the one who's outraged about every last thing that's done.

00:22:16.000 And I'm pretty libertarian about how adults behave.

00:22:19.000 But to try to prey on children and use taxpayer dollars to do so is so in your face.

00:22:25.000 And we need to shut this down, have a zero-tolerance policy.

00:22:28.000 I've got young kids.

00:22:29.000 The transept has no business in their childhood.

00:22:31.000 And if Sesame Street is going to push this, we need to take every last penny from PBS right away.

00:22:36.000 Well, and this is a perfect time to play cut 326.

00:22:40.000 I think this is kind of some of the stuff you're talking about, Alex.

00:22:43.000 326.

00:22:45.000 Cookie, are you ready to see my monster piece?

00:22:49.000 Ready, Jonathan!

00:22:51.000 Mama Bear, some runway music, please. 1.00

00:22:55.000 People and monsters alike, a round of applause for the Not Too Late show's newest monster, Alan!

00:23:02.000 Ta-da! 1.00

00:23:05.000 Yeah, if you have little kids, don't watch that.

00:23:08.000 Don't watch that.

00:23:10.000 Don't watch the Iraqi version. 0.82

00:23:11.000 Don't watch the American version, Alex.

00:23:14.000 By the way, I will say we did find one corporation besides PBS, taxpayer-funded, that did change their logo.

00:23:25.000 325.

00:23:26.000 Go ahead and throw that up.

00:23:27.000 This is the one.

00:23:29.000 I bet you won't guess where it's from.

00:23:30.000 Oh, wait.

00:23:31.000 That's right.

00:23:31.000 It's from Canada.

00:23:33.000 Air Canada did change their logo this year because, of course.

00:23:38.000 Alex, your reaction to the more muted.

00:23:43.000 Yeah, it's good, but it's not enough.

00:23:45.000 We should not be doing any of the trans stuff now. 1.00

00:23:47.000 It's all mental health issues, and we need to start the empathetic, the compassionate position is to acknowledge that the trans contagion that's going on is very negative for families, is destroying families. 0.99

00:23:58.000 And what it is doing is it is, I think, condescending to people who are mentally ill who need to be transcontained.

00:24:14.000 It ruins lives.

00:24:15.000 I know I met Chloe Cole through you guys.

00:24:18.000 Listen to everything Chloe Cole is saying.

00:24:20.000 She's your advocate in this regard.

00:24:22.000 Is it someone who is completely mutilated because her community got wrapped up in this contagion?

00:24:28.000 We need to be elevating stories like that at this time and discouraging any of the trans stuff. 1.00

00:24:32.000 It has to go away.

00:24:32.000 It has to stop.

00:24:34.000 Anything, when you're talking about minors in particular, should be completely unacceptable.

00:24:37.000 It needs to be illegal, to be frank.

00:24:39.000 None of this should be allowed in this country.

00:24:41.000 There's not a freedom issue.

00:24:42.000 This is encouraging mental health issues at the expense of the family.

00:24:46.000 We've got to get away from that immediately.

00:24:47.000 But you still see these things, like a lot of these sports, these sports...

00:24:55.000 Go on there and roast them.

00:24:57.000 Roast them all. 0.98

00:24:58.000 Tell them it's not acceptable until it's all gone away. 0.99

00:25:00.000 We can't do any more of this DEI pandering.

00:25:03.000 This year is over.

00:25:03.000 It's time to stop.

00:25:04.000 Well, I totally agree.

00:25:05.000 I mean, listen, you know, and Charlie put out a tweet to this extent, but I couldn't agree more.

00:25:10.000 You know, pride, you know, most people will accept that two grown adults have, you know, freedom within the privacy of their own home.

00:25:17.000 Nobody wants to be policing that.

00:25:19.000 I mean, some people do, but like the vast majority of Americans are not interested in that.

00:25:30.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:25:31.000 I have other things I'm much more interested in.

00:25:35.000 Secondly, though, what the fundamental flaw of pride was is that it was coercive.

00:25:51.000 It was designed to force not only acceptance, the thing we just talked about.

00:25:56.000 It was designed to push the limits and then make you celebrate, forced celebration, and then forced participation.

00:26:03.000 Your kids will hold the rainbow flag in their hand and cheer it on, or your kids will have to talk about it or act it out.

00:26:10.000 I find it corrosive.

00:26:27.000 I find it unproductive, destructive.

00:26:30.000 Morally repugnant when you see the way that they go about in the streets, you know, grown men whipping each other, wearing leather straps.

00:26:37.000 You got like Scott Wiener, the state senator out of California, who's pictured doing these types of things, celebrating.

00:26:43.000 You cannot normalize that type of behavior and still have a moral and upright culture.

00:26:48.000 You just simply can't.

00:26:48.000 And by the way, I would feel the same, Alex, if it was straight couples doing the same thing out in the middle of the street.

00:26:54.000 There's no place for that in polite society.

00:26:56.000 Yeah, I do think that the internet, which is not always right, but I do think that the internet sort of consensus that this is becoming, it's really about autogynophilia, where it's really about sexual perversion that you dressing as the opposite sex and impersonating the opposite sex is a sexual fetish.

00:27:12.000 I think that's the vast majority of these things.

00:27:14.000 I'm not saying it's every single one.

00:27:16.000 I'm just saying that I think that's the vast majority of what's going on.

00:27:18.000 And introducing this stuff to children, as PBS is doing with our tax dollars, is designed to usurp the family with a higher authority, which is the government in this case, to try to sow confusion and to sow chaos because it makes people much easier to control in that way.

00:27:35.000 And that's what this is all about.

00:27:36.000 But I'll tell you, for these companies, Andrew, It becomes a corporate issue.

00:27:41.000 If you look at the WNBA, and if you look at Major League Baseball, and you look at the Washington Capitals, and the Washington Commanders, and the Washington Nationals, and the New York Giants, these are all teams that did pride stuff this year.

00:27:53.000 Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, New York Mets.

00:27:56.000 They're just trying to pander, trying to sell more tickets.

00:27:58.000 But you can make them feel a little pain over this.

00:28:01.000 If you go over and say, we're not doing this, particularly if they've got the trans stuff going on. 1.00

00:28:05.000 If you're doing the trans stuff, I'm not going to bring my fans. 1.00

00:28:09.000 Well, I think we are making progress, Alex.

00:28:23.000 So, there is a clip here.

00:28:25.000 Let's go ahead and actually, 327, throw that graphic up.

00:28:30.000 Boise Pride cancels season kickoff, citing insufficient attendance, which is something.

00:28:37.000 to behold, certainly.

00:28:38.000 And, you know, LGBTQ organizations across the country are reporting substantial cuts in funding, thanks in large part to the Trump administration ending DEI programs.

00:28:50.000 So there are actual cultural wins that we're putting up.

00:28:54.000 I mean, but again, let me restate, I am for just getting rid of Pride Month altogether.

00:28:59.000 Like, we should just not acknowledge it.

00:29:01.000 We shouldn't have to.

00:29:03.000 I mean, we're still having to talk about it right now, because as you said there's still companies There's still sports teams that are posting about this, local high school teams, all the things in the middle.

00:29:13.000 So we still have to sort of talk about it.

00:29:14.000 We can't act like it doesn't exist.

00:29:16.000 But hopefully in a year or two, this thing will be so relegated to the fringes that we'll just get to ignore it.

00:29:22.000 And Pride Month, there's a whole push online that this should be Veterans Month, this should be Family Month.

00:29:27.000 There's actually a bill going through Congress right now.

00:29:30.000 Yeah, go ahead.

00:29:30.000 I got a perfect analogy.

00:29:32.000 I got a perfect analogy.

00:29:32.000 So this is where, do you remember the latter stages of COVID when the last, you know, 10% of people were still wearing masks?

00:29:39.000 I like that because you would know who all the weenies are based off of who's wearing the mask.

00:29:43.000 Like, the last people wearing the mask, they're just announcing themselves. 0.99

00:29:45.000 I definitely don't want to talk to you at the T-ball game, and I'm definitely not going to have a donut and coffee with you after church because if you got that mask on, I know you're nuts. 0.92

00:29:54.000 Like that's what's gonna happen with the pride stuff.

00:29:56.000 The last few people celebrating, we're just gonna know that's their signal, stay away So I think that's where this thing is going.

00:30:03.000 And so we just got to get it down to that level.

00:30:04.000 We don't need to get it down to zero.

00:30:06.000 We just need to whittle it down so it's only the hard course we're still celebrating.

00:30:10.000 And they're just announcing themselves that you guys can stay away from me and my family and just do your own thing.

00:30:14.000 I completely agree.

00:30:16.000 And, you know, while we're on the topic of mental illness, Alex, a new study came out, and actually Nate Silver is behind it, talking about which party, a little political leaning.

00:30:30.000 You will never guess, Alex, who is reporting better mental health.

00:30:35.000 You'll never guess.

00:30:36.000 It's not obvious at all.

00:30:40.000 WhyRefy.com.

00:30:41.000 Y-R-E-F-Y.com.

00:31:23.000 So check it out right now at YReFi.com.

00:31:29.000 So here's a list.

00:31:30.000 Go ahead and throw up 329.

00:31:32.000 This is a list of NFL teams that did not, Alex, publish the Pride stuff.

00:31:38.000 NFL teams that did not, that would be the Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Las Vegas Raiders, New Orleans Saints, which is a little surprising, Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs, and Philadelphia Eagles.

00:31:54.000 Those teams did not publish statements or social media posts acknowledging Pride Month, according to The Spun.

00:32:05.000 One of our producers is like, Cowboys celebrate Pride year-round so they don't have to post about it.

00:32:09.000 That's not nice, team.

00:32:12.000 Apologize to all my Cowboys fans out there.

00:32:14.000 But they are, you know, that is a polarizing team.

00:32:19.000 It's a polarizing team.

00:32:20.000 I would think that's true.

00:32:22.000 Alex, go ahead and plug your stuff for our audience.

00:32:26.000 You are the host of the Alex Marlowe Show, editor-in-chief of Breitbart News.

00:32:29.000 Tell us how we can find you.

00:32:31.000 The important point I think to make about that is that you have to withhold some business from these people or they're not going to stop this.

00:32:36.000 If they don't feel the pain, then you're not taking it seriously that you want to stop.

00:32:40.000 If you want the pride pandering to stop, you want the trans pandering to stop, if you don't want the trans stuff in pro sports and NFL sports, then you either have to at least vocalize it on social media or whatever to these groups of people, or you need to withhold some business.

00:32:53.000 I'll tell you, when all these companies that I would patronize put up the black square during the George Floyd farce, I would not buy their stuff. 1.00

00:33:00.000 And you should not.

00:33:01.000 Either.

00:33:01.000 That's my take on this.

00:33:02.000 If you're serious about trying to make progress here, Andrew, you absolutely cannot continue to do business at the same level with these people who are engaged in normalizing trans grooming of children, which is what all this is. 0.99

00:33:15.000 Yeah, I mean, well said.

00:33:17.000 And so I completely agree.

00:33:18.000 This was the energy, by the way, of last year and a little bit the year before.

00:33:22.000 Yeah, or we just took it to these people for one of the first times in the I think it was a foreshadowing of November 5th, frankly.

00:33:34.000 All right, so Alex, let's talk about mental health.

00:33:38.000 There is a fascinating new, I guess, poll survey from Nate Silver.

00:33:45.000 And let's go ahead and throw up 313. 0.99

00:33:48.000 And what it reveals is that 39% say it's very good.

00:33:59.000 Poor is only 19% of conservatives.

00:34:02.000 And why that's noteworthy, Alex, is if you contrast it to liberals, 45% of liberals report having very poor mental health.

00:34:16.000 Alex, the question is, did you need a poll to tell you this?

00:34:21.000 No, I didn't.

00:34:22.000 But I'm glad it's here, because sometimes the data, this is an old Dennis Pragerism, Andrew, which is that the data tends to either confirm what you can observe with your own two eyes and kind of back it up, or it's BS.

00:34:34.000 So this is one where it does kind of confirm what you can back up with your own eyes.

00:34:37.000 And it's funny, I had flagged this from Charlie's Twitter.

00:34:40.000 Charlie tweeted this, and I had flagged it to talk about it on my show, The Alex Marlow Show, today.

00:34:44.000 So it's better to talk about it here.

00:34:46.000 This is something that conservative families, Andrew, We have a more balanced life.

00:34:53.000 We're more spiritual.

00:34:54.000 We've now learned we're in better shape because, remember, Maha, this is a conservative thing.

00:34:58.000 It's red-pilled to go to the gym now.

00:35:01.000 Obviously, if you are someone who does not get all of your values from TikTok and from social media and you get them from the Bible, for example, you get them from your family, you get them from deep thought and reading, and you can commune with nature, you touch grass, you go to the gym, of course you're going to have better mental health.

00:35:21.000 And who's going to do those things I listed?

00:35:23.000 Of course it's mostly going to be conservatives.

00:35:25.000 And I'm not saying that there aren't people, I'm sure, with excellent mental health on the left and with terrible mental health on the right.

00:35:30.000 But as a pattern, the things that conservatives do to occupy their time is going to make you a more balanced person and a more satisfied person who's leading a more meaningful life.

00:35:39.000 If you are a secular leftist, you're probably leading a life with less meaning.

00:35:45.000 It's just a fact.

00:35:46.000 And it just lets you.

00:35:48.000 Yeah, I mean, listen, this is a classic.

00:35:54.000 It's so obvious.

00:35:56.000 It's almost cliche at this point.

00:35:58.000 You know, liberals and progressives, they use politics and their grievances and their sense of injustice in the world to fill an existential void in their soul.

00:36:10.000 Right?

00:36:11.000 And conservatives, this is why we always talk about the good, the true, the beautiful, the eternal.

00:36:15.000 Those are the things that provide actual joy.

00:36:19.000 Now, joy is different than happiness.

00:36:20.000 You can be happy being a drug addict once you take that first hit.

00:36:24.000 But happiness is fleeting.

00:36:27.000 It's not as deep.

00:36:28.000 It's not as meaningful.

00:36:29.000 Joy is provided by the things that conservatives value, the things, the values that we promote, the ideas we promote.

00:36:36.000 And of course, that's family, community, country, faith.

00:36:39.000 All of those things, the eternal things in life will give you more pride, more joy, less pride.

00:36:45.000 We can have pride in our country, but that's not what we're talking about in this segment.

00:36:49.000 But nevertheless, I think this is one of the most telling polls, Alex, simply because it shows – and actually, here's the tie-in.

00:36:58.000 Nate Silver was bringing this up because this is one of the reasons he believes that there's a disconnect between men and the Democrat Party.

00:37:04.000 Men and the Democrat Party.

00:37:07.000 Yeah, I think it's probably connected.

00:37:09.000 It's not the most obvious for me, but it's probably connected.

00:37:11.000 Alex, I really want you to tell people how to follow you.

00:37:15.000 You're the host of The Alex Marlowe Show.

00:37:17.000 Please give your coordinates, my friend.

00:37:19.000 No, thank you.
