00:00:23.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:24.000 Here we go.
00:00:25.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:27.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:29.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:32.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:36.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:37.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:38.000 His 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.
00:00:46.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:00:55.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:11.000 Senator Hawley and Aaron Hawley, welcome to the program.
00:01:13.000 Thank you.
00:01:14.000 It is awesome, but unusual to have a couple on.
00:01:18.000 But you guys have your own podcast too.
00:01:20.000 We do, right?
00:01:21.000 So first, tell us about that.
00:01:23.000 Well, it's called the Aaron Hawley Show.
00:01:27.000 This is the Erica Kirk Show.
00:01:29.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:30.000 Well, you say.
00:01:32.000 Tell them how we came up with the idea.
00:01:34.000 Sure.
00:01:34.000 So we wanted to do something together, something kind of for fun, and got to thinking about, you know, what it is that we think really matters about life.
00:01:41.000 And so why not talk about those things and talk about them together?
00:01:45.000 And it's been really fun to think about those things and talk about those things with.
00:01:49.000 Our marriage and kids and family.
00:01:53.000 It's the things, Charlie, when I think about what your message to students, I heard you say a lot of times, is, hey, you know, here's a radical thought.
00:02:01.000 Why don't you go get married? 1.00
00:02:02.000 Why don't you aspire to be married and maybe aspire to have a family, you know, and why don't you invest in those things?
00:02:06.000 And we thought, well, we say that stuff, but maybe we should talk about it.
00:02:11.000 And live it out.
00:02:12.000 And so we try to talk a little bit, you know, candidly about, oh, well, here's what our lives look like, our three kids.
00:02:18.000 And then talk about other people who are doing it, who we admire and stuff like that.
00:02:22.000 So I meet way too many politicians.
00:02:25.000 I really appreciate you because you're a real person.
00:02:28.000 And so many politicians I meet, they totally dysfunctional marriages, honestly, and also really weird, creepy personal lives.
00:02:37.000 And so, but how do you guys keep it together?
00:02:38.000 I mean, D.C. is like the worst place to be monogamously married in the country. 0.99
00:02:43.000 I mean, it's just, I'm just curious.
00:02:45.000 You couldn't pay me enough money to have a family in Washington, D.C. That's how we felt too.
00:02:51.000 But you go.
00:02:53.000 So I think we were actually sort of thinking about that when Josh was elected.
00:02:57.000 Do we take the family?
00:02:58.000 Do we not?
00:02:59.000 I did not want to move.
00:03:01.000 But we ended up sort of thinking about where we would spend the most quality time together.
00:03:05.000 And Josh is really good about coming home almost every night.
00:03:09.000 He gets to put the kids to bed.
00:03:10.000 He gets to read them stories, pray for them each night.
00:03:14.000 And of course, he's got work trips and those sorts of things, but he really prioritizes them in a way that I think makes family life very real and possible.
00:03:21.000 Yeah, and I just, here's my bottom line, Charlie, is that I am a husband and a father first.
00:03:28.000 And I mean, that's at the core of who I am.
00:03:30.000 So, you know, doing my job as a senator, you know, I'm not going to be able to do that unless I put my family at the center of what we're doing.
00:03:39.000 And so, you know, yeah, my kids are, when we're in Washington, Aaron and the kids are with me.
00:03:43.000 When we're home in Missouri, Aaron and the kids are with me.
00:03:45.000 And that's.
00:03:46.000 You guys are living then full-time in D.C.?
00:03:48.000 Yeah, we go back and forth together.
00:03:50.000 Wow.
00:03:51.000 I mean, so just since getting elected, I mean, just talk about some of the challenges.
00:03:55.000 I mean, I guess, I bet the campaign was actually probably even harder than, is that right?
00:04:00.000 Yeah.
00:04:00.000 Just because the campaign, you know, you're just, you're always on the road, particularly towards the end of the final months.
00:04:05.000 You know, I mean, you've been out on the trip.
00:04:06.000 Oh, yeah.
00:04:07.000 It's just, you know, you live on the bus, you know.
00:04:09.000 But what we did is we brought the kids with us.
00:04:11.000 And so for the final weeks of the campaign, of our first Senate campaign in 2018, we had all of us together on the bus.
00:04:17.000 You know, our son, Elijah, his birthday is in early November.
00:04:21.000 And so, you know, we did his birthday party on the bus.
00:04:24.000 We decorated the bus.
00:04:25.000 Of course, they think it's awesome.
00:04:27.000 Like, no car seats.
00:04:28.000 Like, are we just safe?
00:04:30.000 But, yes.
00:04:31.000 So we just try to bring our family into everything that we're doing as much as we can, you know, and bring the kids along if we can and just experience it together as a family.
00:04:42.000 Well, it's refreshing.
00:04:43.000 And so on that kind of theme of families, it seems that just like the Washington, D.C. Uniparty is increasingly hostile to families.
00:04:51.000 And I mean, just recently, there was this, I call it the Disrespect for Marriage Act that was passed by too many Republicans and then signed into law by Biden, who then invites, honestly, a freak to the White House. 0.91
00:05:05.000 I don't know if you saw it or not, but this like drag whatever person, which was inexcusable. 0.97
00:05:09.000 So just talk about that, Senator. 1.00
00:05:11.000 And then, Aaron, I'd love your thoughts.
00:05:12.000 I mean, the idea of the nuclear family as we know it, which is one man, one woman raising children, is now considered radical.
00:05:18.000 In fact, we had to be virtue signaled by seemingly half the Republicans in D.C. to believe in such a concept.
00:05:24.000 Yeah.
00:05:24.000 You know, I will just say, Charlie, you think about that bill.
00:05:29.000 Here's my problem with that bill: it doesn't make any change to same-sex marriage, which the Supreme Court found wrongly, in my view.
00:05:37.000 I mean, my view is the Constitution, it says nothing about it.
00:05:40.000 It does not command same-sex marriage in all 50 states.
00:05:42.000 That's not in the Constitution.
00:05:44.000 But this bill is worse even than that.
00:05:46.000 This bill goes beyond that.
00:05:48.000 And what it does is it gives liberal activists the right to sue people of faith, colleges, churches, church organizations, church groups.
00:06:00.000 It gives them the right to sue them and to go after them for not participating in a same-sex wedding ceremony, for not serving.
00:06:07.000 Oh, it's in there. 0.54
00:06:08.000 It's called a private right of action, legal right.
00:06:10.000 So, I mean, that's really what we're talking about.
00:06:12.000 Is it now a protected class similar to the Civil Rights Act?
00:06:15.000 It's not quite there yet.
00:06:16.000 I mean, Aaron, being the brilliant legal mind, I mean, is that now a protected class like races and religion?
00:06:24.000 So, I think you're certainly going to see that argument made by liberal activists.
00:06:28.000 I think arguably those two things are very different.
00:06:31.000 We have the 14th Amendment for a reason, which is part of our Constitution, that says, you know, the equal protection clause that every person shall be treated equally regardless of race.
00:06:41.000 So, that's a specific thing that we fought a civil war over, a horrible history of slavery, and those sorts of things.
00:06:48.000 So, I think race is different, but I do think you might see those arguments.
00:06:51.000 No, but they've been asking for a while to just get an attachment on the Civil Rights Act to lifestyle.
00:06:57.000 Totally.
00:06:57.000 And that's what it is, right?
00:06:58.000 It's like my lifestyle now needs to be basically the moral premise of the 14th Amendment is how God made you should not be a, you shouldn't, it should not be legal to discriminate against somebody based on how God made you, right?
00:07:09.000 And so, if you make a certain lifestyle choice, and also if you have a religious conviction that says, you know what, we don't believe in homosexual marriage here, is that now going to be put into suspense, right?
00:07:09.000 Absolutely.
00:07:18.000 I mean, these are seismic questions. 0.99
00:07:20.000 Yeah, and I think the fact now that Congress has passed a law that says that blesses same-sex marriage and adopts it as national policy, I think, Charlie, you're going to have a lot of people going into court and saying, see, there's a compelling interest, they're a protected class. 0.97
00:07:35.000 Congress has said so. 0.83
00:07:36.000 And so, you know, I'm worried about it.
00:07:38.000 It will be 90 days, 120 days before the human rights campaign, and the ACLU goes in, because they go plaintiff shopping, that's what they do, and then they go judge shopping, right?
00:07:38.000 I'm really.
00:07:48.000 So it's going to be somewhere in like Colorado or Portland, right?
00:07:52.000 Where they find a church or a private school that has a statement of faith that says something like this, right?
00:07:58.000 I mean, I know of an example.
00:07:59.000 Boy, I don't remember the name of the school.
00:08:01.000 I just met him, and I met with him for like 20 minutes, super sweet guy.
00:08:04.000 He's on the board of a Christian college in downtown Seattle.
00:08:07.000 And ADF might actually be involved in this in some way, where they have a statement of faith that says we believe in one man, one woman marriage, and the Attorney General of Washington is suing them for LGBTQ discrimination.
00:08:19.000 The same fervor, the same language.
00:08:22.000 They're copy-pasting the Civil Rights Act stuff to that.
00:08:26.000 And it's absurd.
00:08:26.000 In the Masterpiece Cake decision involving the Colorado Baker, the court was clear that views about marriage between one man and one woman are decent and honorable.
00:08:35.000 But that's not what you see from the State Attorney General.
00:08:38.000 And that was just, that was recent.
00:08:39.000 That was a recent decision with the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:08:41.000 So you think...
00:08:42.000 Yeah, exactly, Charlie.
00:08:43.000 You see how it's moving.
00:08:45.000 When the court came up with same-sex marriage and said, oh, it's required in the Constitution, they said, but we're not saying that people of faith should be forced to observe or participate in those ceremonies.
00:08:54.000 And now that the line keeps moving, now it's moving, and now Congress is saying, oh, actually, we're going to make a federal statute and bless this and call it national policy and give people the right to sue if you don't go along with it.
00:09:06.000 So it's bad.
00:09:07.000 It's a bad law.
00:09:08.000 And I was too bad to see too many, I was sad to see so many Republicans vote on it.
00:09:08.000 It's really bad.
00:09:14.000 So I want to ask you guys, I mean, either one of you, just about generally kind of the assault on the U.S. Constitution that we're seeing.
00:09:22.000 Aaron, I'd love your thoughts.
00:09:23.000 I mean, you do a lot of different cases.
00:09:25.000 I don't know what part of law is your expertise, but I mean, we have seen this unaccountable fourth branch of government now for the last couple of years.
00:09:35.000 I believe it to be just largely unconstitutional, going after private property rights, outsourcing speech.
00:09:40.000 So let me ask you a direct question, not an abstract one, okay?
00:09:42.000 How is it constitutional for the FBI to go to Twitter and say, hey, I want you to censor Charlie Kirk?
00:09:49.000 It's not.
00:09:50.000 Okay.
00:09:50.000 Thank you.
00:09:51.000 So we have our First Amendment.
00:09:52.000 I got out of the clouds and I got into something.
00:09:55.000 And of course, the First Amendment has what's called a state action requirement.
00:09:58.000 So that means that some government has to be involved in some capacity.
00:10:02.000 But when you have the FBI, which is the government's preeminent law enforcement authority, telling one of the major companies that has basically a monopoly on speech to do something, it's arguable you do have that state action requirement met.
00:10:17.000 So certainly bad policy and very arguably unconstitutional.
00:10:22.000 Particularly, Charlie, when you look at the Twitter files revelations, and you got the FBI, this is what they're doing with their time, by the way.
00:10:28.000 Are they out there prosecuting criminals?
00:10:29.000 No.
00:10:30.000 Are they out there?
00:10:31.000 Protecting pregnancy care centers?
00:10:32.000 What they're doing is they're like, oh, oh, these 10 people made jokes about Joe Biden or Hunter Biden or the 2020 that we don't like.
00:10:32.000 No.
00:10:41.000 American citizens, by the way, not foreign nationals, American citizens, please Twitter go and deplatform them.
00:10:46.000 For some of them, they requested personal location information for these folks.
00:10:49.000 I mean, this is incredible stuff.
00:10:51.000 And we know it's happening.
00:10:52.000 We know it's even worse than this because we've had whistleblowers come to me from the Department of Homeland Security and say, that disinformation board that you read about, that's the tip of the iceberg.
00:11:02.000 In fact, the censorship campaign goes across the department.
00:11:06.000 It goes across multiple federal agencies, and it's all about tracking American citizens and American First Amendment speech.
00:11:13.000 It really is.
00:11:14.000 And for something like the Disinformation Board to even be a concept in government is absurd.
00:11:19.000 It's absurd.
00:11:20.000 And, you know, Josh, Senator, I should say, it's, you know, Josh is good.
00:11:25.000 I'm going to try to be proper.
00:11:25.000 That's okay.
00:11:27.000 I'm in a t-shirt here.
00:11:28.000 That's where that's all right.
00:11:28.000 Well, there you go.
00:11:30.000 Josh.
00:11:31.000 I'll be honest, just speaking for my audience, our audience is mad and also just so cynical.
00:11:37.000 Yeah.
00:11:38.000 Because what they did was illegal and what?
00:11:40.000 What are they going to get?
00:11:41.000 You know, another private jet ride to the Adirondacks or something? 0.98
00:11:44.000 I mean, these people are criminals. 0.97
00:11:44.000 Right. 0.97
00:11:46.000 I mean, when the government endorses crime or participates in crime, everything falls apart.
00:11:53.000 Yeah.
00:11:54.000 Right?
00:11:54.000 I mean, it's not like they didn't fill out some paperwork, you know, correctly or, you know, kind of little stuff like slap on the wrist.
00:12:01.000 We're talking about meeting after meeting this Elvis Chan guy, who, by the way, has his pronouns in his email.
00:12:07.000 I don't know if you saw that or not.
00:12:08.000 No, just like the great middle finger to us all, right?
00:12:13.000 Like Elvis Chan in his communications with Twitter has the he, his, him just on the bottom.
00:12:17.000 Just like, that's what the FBI makes sure that's so neatly put in there, right?
00:12:22.000 Is that people are mad.
00:12:24.000 People are cynical.
00:12:25.000 I mean, how do we hold them accountable, you know, at all?
00:12:28.000 Or is it just more hearings and we hope it gets better?
00:12:31.000 Well, there need to be hearings because that's the lever that right now we're going to have with the House of Representatives.
00:12:36.000 So there need to be subpoenas.
00:12:38.000 And it shouldn't be just, you know, there's levels of this, Charlie, but it should just be like, hey, if you could have, if you could make some time for us, you know, come and testify.
00:12:45.000 It ought to be fit you into our schedule.
00:12:47.000 Exactly.
00:12:48.000 And because the answer is always no, by the way.
00:12:49.000 And you just referenced a second ago the fact that the FBI director actually left a Senate oversight hearing this past year early, refused to answer questions funded by us so he could get on his Gulf Stream and go for a family vacation, which he lied about to the committee.
00:13:05.000 He said, oh, I've got important business.
00:13:06.000 Yeah, yeah, Senator Grassley, I got important business.
00:13:08.000 Counterterrorism work, which, by the way, that plane is supposed to be only for counterterrorism stuff.
00:13:12.000 That's what it's for.
00:13:13.000 And so he got on his plane.
00:13:14.000 What needs to happen is the House needs to issue subpoenas and say, appear. 0.82
00:13:18.000 They need to issue subpoenas for documents and say, give them to us. 0.75
00:13:21.000 And they need to make it all public.
00:13:23.000 This needs to be done in public.
00:13:24.000 So the American people, what happens is the corporate media tries to suppress all of this.
00:13:28.000 They won't report it.
00:13:29.000 This is why the Twitter files are important.
00:13:31.000 This needs to be done out in the open.
00:13:33.000 People need to see for themselves.
00:13:35.000 And then people need to start being impeached. 0.80
00:13:36.000 I mean, that's what really.
00:13:37.000 I totally agree.
00:13:38.000 The head of DHS needs to be impeached.
00:13:41.000 Garland needs to be impeached. 0.60
00:13:44.000 Christopher Wray.
00:13:45.000 I mean, these guys have, they have violated their oaths.
00:13:48.000 They have lied to Congress and misled Congress repeatedly.
00:13:51.000 There need to be consequences for it.
00:13:53.000 And those are the consequences.
00:13:54.000 Any thoughts, Aaron?
00:13:57.000 You agree.
00:13:57.000 Yes.
00:13:58.000 So, Aaron, I want to make sure I mention this, and then I want to close on just some general thoughts on the terms.
00:14:03.000 You were one of the main leaders behind the Dobbs case.
00:14:06.000 Is that correct?
00:14:06.000 Tell us about that.
00:14:07.000 Sure.
00:14:08.000 So I was privileged to serve as counsel to Mississippi in the Dobbs case on behalf of Alliance Defending Freedom and as the mom to three little ones.
00:14:15.000 It was really just an amazing experience.
00:14:17.000 I've told this story before.
00:14:19.000 When I first went down to meet with Mississippi's team, our daughter, Abigail, was about six months old.
00:14:24.000 And I was like, I can't go.
00:14:25.000 I've got a baby.
00:14:27.000 And so ADF said, just bring her.
00:14:29.000 And it was this really incredible, also really hard experience having her there.
00:14:34.000 My babysitter hadn't arrived yet.
00:14:35.000 So we were rushing, trying to get her to sleep.
00:14:37.000 And she falls asleep.
00:14:39.000 And we're discussing the ins and out of what legal argument will appeal to which justices.
00:14:44.000 What will Justice Kavanaugh?
00:14:45.000 What will Justice Barrett?
00:14:47.000 What will the Chief Justice think?
00:14:48.000 These are the justices that are really crucial to getting a decision in our favor.
00:14:52.000 And Abigail wakes up screaming, just bloody murder.
00:14:57.000 And on the one hand, it's a little embarrassed.
00:14:59.000 Like, sorry, guys.
00:15:00.000 But on the other hand, she was just this incredible picture of why the case matters.
00:15:05.000 Red hair, chubby cheeks.
00:15:07.000 But the reality is, as we've talked about, she's not any more precious, any more loved by God than any other child.
00:15:13.000 And each and every one of them are deserving of life.
00:15:16.000 And that's at bottom what Dobbs is about.
00:15:19.000 They're the kind of midterm elections, Senator.
00:15:25.000 What's your big take on that? 0.97
00:15:27.000 That you can't expect people to come and vote for you if you're a Republican if you just say, the other side sucks and it's my turn. 0.97
00:15:35.000 As it turns out, guess what? 0.72
00:15:37.000 Voters actually want to have some confidence in you.
00:15:40.000 They want you to have an agenda.
00:15:42.000 They want you to tell them how you're going to fight for them.
00:15:44.000 And I can only speak for Senate Republicans.
00:15:46.000 Senate Republicans, if you look at the record of the last couple years, I mean, it's not inspiring.
00:15:52.000 Why would anybody vote for sell out to Big Pharma on insulin, sell out to Chuck Schumer on the Second Amendment, sell out to the radical climate activists on their Green New Deal, which is what the infrastructure bill was.
00:16:02.000 I mean, that gives Zelensky $100 billion while our border is wide open.
00:16:06.000 Precisely the most insane thing.
00:16:07.000 Thank you for your good votes on that, by the way.
00:16:10.000 It's so beyond, just every normal, everyday people, forget D.C.'s awful.
00:16:14.000 They don't understand this Ukraine thing at all.
00:16:16.000 $100 billion to a corrupt regime while our border is getting invaded.
00:16:20.000 With no strings attached, as you said, no oversight.
00:16:23.000 And now we're to the point, Charlie, on that, since you got me started on it.
00:16:26.000 We're actually literally just writing checks to the Ukrainian government to their treasury.
00:16:30.000 Here you go.
00:16:31.000 We're just funding their general.
00:16:33.000 It's outrageous.
00:16:34.000 It's outrageous.
00:16:34.000 Meanwhile, if you want to talk about foreign adversaries, China is running rampant in Asia.
00:16:38.000 And what are we doing? 0.91
00:16:40.000 Not what we should be because we're bailing out the Europeans. 0.71
00:16:43.000 By the way, what are our European allies and friends doing for Ukraine? 0.62
00:16:46.000 Not half of what we're doing, practically. 0.83
00:16:48.000 It's ridiculous.
00:16:50.000 Yeah, and so I totally agree that, look, a lot of Republicans stayed home or they just said, what's the point? 0.90
00:16:55.000 And there was a lot of cynicism.
00:16:57.000 And it's growing because we have Mitch McConnell, who is awful and has done a lot of damage to our country.
00:17:02.000 And we have all these other people that are in the kind of Republican Party.
00:17:07.000 And I think we had some good candidates.
00:17:08.000 I wish Blake Masters would have won.
00:17:10.000 I'm so glad JD Vance won, which is kind of one of the great wins.
00:17:13.000 And he'll be a great partner with you on this stuff.
00:17:15.000 So it wasn't all bad.
00:17:17.000 But, you know, also just from kind of a structural standpoint, what are your thoughts on embracing in-person early voting, right?
00:17:25.000 Like, we, as Republicans, always try to build a movement.
00:17:29.000 Always.
00:17:30.000 Yeah.
00:17:31.000 And they just have a machine.
00:17:32.000 Yeah.
00:17:33.000 Movements can beat machines.
00:17:34.000 We did it in 16.
00:17:36.000 Yeah.
00:17:36.000 But not always.
00:17:37.000 Yeah.
00:17:38.000 Wouldn't it be nice if we have a movement and a machine?
00:17:40.000 Yeah.
00:17:41.000 Well, my view is that state by state, I mean, look, you got to take the rules of the state as they're given, and then you've got to play by those rules and win by those rules.
00:17:50.000 So, I mean, I love our law in Missouri.
00:17:52.000 I think our vote owners are great.
00:17:53.000 I commend those.
00:17:54.000 If states want a model, I say, look what we do in Missouri.
00:17:56.000 It's great.
00:17:56.000 Our elections are secure.
00:17:58.000 They're fair.
00:17:58.000 You know your results quickly.
00:18:00.000 You know your results quickly.
00:18:01.000 Imagine that on the day of the election.
00:18:02.000 This is election day, not election month.
00:18:04.000 Oh, we're here in Maricopa County.
00:18:06.000 As we sit here.
00:18:08.000 But I would just say this, Charlie, that you know what?
00:18:11.000 The elections are what they are.
00:18:12.000 The laws are what they are.
00:18:13.000 And, you know, in states like Arizona or others, it's just like, hey, listen, where we don't have the chance to change the law right now.
00:18:19.000 It's like, you got to play by the rules that are written, and you want to win by those rules legally and fairly.
00:18:23.000 But I think to that end, what I'm getting at is we're places where early voting, like here in Arizona, where early voting is the overwhelming majority of the vote.
00:18:31.000 That's right.
00:18:32.000 We've got to find a way to go out there and win.
00:18:33.000 We're going to play by that game.
00:18:34.000 In closing, what gives you hope, both of you?
00:18:36.000 In D.C. or otherwise, D.C. doesn't certainly give me hope.
00:18:39.000 I think for us, family.
00:18:41.000 And, you know, we've got blessed to have a beautiful family, but that's what the American Dream is all about.
00:18:46.000 The idea that husband and wife can come together, build work, but also just provide for children.
00:18:53.000 You know what else gives me hope, Charlie, is just talking to seeing the thousands of students that are here thousands of students who are people of courage, who are people of conviction, who are people of honor and integrity, and they want their lives to matter.
00:19:07.000 That gives me great hope.
00:19:09.000 We overturned Roe versus Wade, and we liberated Twitter, and we got the House back.
00:19:14.000 It's a good year.
00:19:15.000 Pretty good.
00:19:16.000 Pretty good.
00:19:17.000 It doesn't matter if Fetterman's going to the Senate.
00:19:18.000 That one really bothers me, I'm going to be honest.
00:19:21.000 Katie Hobbs and Fetterman are the two.
00:19:23.000 I'm going to pretend that didn't happen.
00:19:25.000 God bless the Hawley family.
00:19:26.000 Thank you so much.
00:19:27.000 Thanks for having me.
