00:01:10.000 Promo code Charlie Amfest.com.
00:01:13.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:01:14.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:14.000 Here we go.
00:01:16.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:18.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:22.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:25.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:26.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:27.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:01:29.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:34.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:35.000 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.
00:01:44.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:48.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:56.000 This is a historian.
00:01:58.000 It's MSNBC guest.
00:02:00.000 They are trying to make it so that people can rationalize and justify cheating in the micro.
00:02:07.000 Maybe a ballot here, a ballot there, you know, a signature there.
00:02:11.000 Submit to there.
00:02:13.000 Play cut 67.
00:02:15.000 And so it's not only the immense bureaucracy that Donald Trump keep people in positions of power, which actually is such a great lesson for us in democracy: how important the people who occupy certain spaces are in preserving our democracy.
00:02:29.000 And I'll also add one thing to the Hitler analogy.
00:02:32.000 It wasn't just the American media.
00:02:34.000 The German media never took him seriously.
00:02:37.000 They were like, oh, he's kind of a joke.
00:02:38.000 If you go back and look at it, oh, he's kind of a joke.
00:02:41.000 He'll be okay.
00:02:42.000 We have this system in place.
00:02:43.000 There's no worries about it.
00:02:45.000 And then in the aftermath, where he was elected, he was legitimately elected.
00:02:51.000 And so for someone who thinks, oh my goodness, Trump is Hitler, they hear that from a quote-unquote historian.
00:03:00.000 And then they have 30 days to do their part.
00:03:05.000 They have 30 days to scramble at the University of Arizona in Tucson and find every errant ballot.
00:03:11.000 They have 30 days to go fill in ballots for family members that might not care.
00:03:18.000 And we did this to ourselves because we, as conservatives and Republicans, and I'm looking at you, Brian Kemp and Doug Ducey and all of these battleground state Republicans that allowed the mass COVID hysteria to translate into mail-in balloting.
00:03:36.000 And so then this is why what we are doing, what we are doing at Turning Point Action, we are left with very few options.
00:03:44.000 We can say, oh, it's a bunch of nonsense.
00:03:46.000 It shouldn't be that way.
00:03:47.000 We do need to sunset mass mail-in balloting in this country.
00:03:51.000 It is bad for representative government, but we have to win to do that.
00:03:55.000 And that's the great tension here.
00:03:58.000 What they call democracy is really a big game that is a means to an oligarchy.
00:04:05.000 It's a means to an oligarchy.
00:04:07.000 This is exactly why we are hiring hundreds of ballot chasers. 1.00
00:04:12.000 We're the only organization that is doing this at scale.
00:04:16.000 It might be a little bit here or a little bit there.
00:04:18.000 Hundreds of full-time ballot chasers.
00:04:20.000 We have now raised over $10 million towards this project.
00:04:23.000 Praise God.
00:04:24.000 It's not enough, but we're getting there.
00:04:26.000 And thank you to the donors that have stepped up, stepped up.
00:04:30.000 You know who you are.
00:04:31.000 And by April, unlike all these other groups, wait till you'll see.
00:04:35.000 We're going to do a whole show on it.
00:04:37.000 April, we're going to have hundreds of full-time people, at least 100, maybe 200.
00:04:43.000 I'll get the exact number.
00:04:44.000 And we're going to show you a picture.
00:04:44.000 We're going to say, hey, that's where your money goes.
00:04:47.000 Right there.
00:04:48.000 Unlike all the RNC.
00:04:50.000 Oh, you know what, this, that, flowers and all this.
00:04:52.000 Oh, yeah, where are your hundreds of people?
00:04:53.000 Boom, ballot chasers.
00:04:55.000 We have to unfortunately use the system that is here.
00:05:00.000 A lot of people don't like that.
00:05:02.000 That's the way it is.
00:05:02.000 Okay.
00:05:03.000 Two stories I want to get to here.
00:05:06.000 The first of which, they all kind of tie together, okay?
00:05:10.000 Hunter Biden is defying a congressional subpoena and did not show up for testimony today.
00:05:18.000 So, Mike Johnson, explain to me why the House is going into recess this week.
00:05:26.000 Why, at the very least, do Republicans say, okay, Democrats, you want to go home?
00:05:31.000 We are going to work through Christmas.
00:05:32.000 I'm sorry.
00:05:34.000 The turning point team is getting three hours of sleep a night this week, and they got two hours of sleep a night last week, putting on a world-class fundraising event.
00:05:42.000 What the heck are you guys doing, House Republicans?
00:05:44.000 Work through the weekend.
00:05:46.000 Everyone goes home and they get a nice vacation, just so you know, today, we fact-checked it.
00:05:52.000 This is the last week of work for the House of Representatives.
00:05:55.000 I think it is incomprehensible.
00:05:56.000 There is so much work to be done.
00:05:58.000 There are subpoenas to issue.
00:06:00.000 There are obviously budget cuts to have.
00:06:03.000 The House of Representatives, the Republican House of Representatives, in the next day or two, we don't know when they're going to gavel out.
00:06:11.000 They're about to take a three and a half week vacation.
00:06:17.000 And they're going to cut.
00:06:18.000 You're trying to tell me they're going to come back January 9th, ready to cut spending by January 15th?
00:06:24.000 So Hunter Biden defies this congressional subpoena.
00:06:28.000 House Republicans should say, no Christmas break, no New Year's break.
00:06:32.000 You already took a Thanksgiving break, guys, for two weeks and you've done nothing.
00:06:37.000 Are you going to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress?
00:06:40.000 Yes, I know it goes to Merrick Garland and it probably won't go anywhere, but maybe it will.
00:06:45.000 At the very least, get it done.
00:06:47.000 Steve Bannon is facing federal prison because of quote-unquote contempt of Congress, which is ridiculous.
00:06:53.000 He had presidential immunity.
00:06:55.000 Peter Navarro, they put in leg irons because of the exact same thing, senior advisor to the president, presidential immunity.
00:07:02.000 So Hunter Biden comes out today.
00:07:03.000 Again, I just want to emphasize, because I'm going to get this.
00:07:05.000 I'm going to really lean in on this Hunter thing. 0.90
00:07:07.000 And Hunter Biden is one of the most despicable people. 0.97
00:07:09.000 And if we had a sane country, Hunter Biden would receive the death penalty, period. 0.98
00:07:12.000 I don't say that lightly. 0.99
00:07:13.000 He's a bad person.
00:07:15.000 Hunter Biden, gitmo. 1.00
00:07:16.000 He's a traitor. 1.00
00:07:17.000 He's a scumbag. 1.00
00:07:19.000 He's a liar. 1.00
00:07:19.000 He's a manipulator. 1.00
00:07:20.000 He's sold out his country. 1.00
00:07:22.000 He's the worst of the worst. 1.00
00:07:23.000 He's vermin. 1.00
00:07:24.000 Okay? 0.99
00:07:25.000 He's more than a bag man.
00:07:26.000 Some people say he's just a bag man.
00:07:27.000 No, no, no, no. 1.00
00:07:28.000 He's dumb, but he's more than a bagman. 1.00
00:07:30.000 And I'm going to show it to you the best I can. 1.00
00:07:32.000 But I just want to kind of close it on this.
00:07:34.000 House Republicans, what are you doing?
00:07:37.000 Speaker Johnson, you got to explain yourself here, man.
00:07:41.000 I know this.
00:07:42.000 Let me just tell you what's going to happen.
00:07:44.000 We're going to host Amfest Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
00:07:47.000 I'm going to get on average three and a half to four hours a night of sleep.
00:07:50.000 Again, it's not about me, but I'm just giving an example, okay?
00:07:52.000 And you know what I'm going to do the day after Amfest?
00:07:55.000 I'm coming into work.
00:07:56.000 Hello?
00:07:57.000 What is this?
00:07:58.000 We got a country to save.
00:08:00.000 Congress, what are you doing? 0.99
00:08:02.000 You guys are a joke. 0.98
00:08:04.000 I have no respect for you guys. 0.97
00:08:05.000 None. 0.99
00:08:06.000 I find most of you repulsive.
00:08:08.000 Oh, we need another three-week break after a two-week break.
00:08:11.000 Oh, you know, because I need to go home and cash in all the lobbyist dinners and get, you know, drunk on champagne Christmas dinners. 0.94
00:08:18.000 You guys are repulsive. 0.99
00:08:20.000 Repulsive. 0.99
00:08:22.000 Why are you not working through Christmas?
00:08:24.000 We have a lot to do.
00:08:25.000 We got impeachment inquiry to do.
00:08:27.000 We have cross-examination of Merrick Garland.
00:08:31.000 How are you guys going to go do that back when you go to Wichita or Bozeman, Montana?
00:08:35.000 Great places.
00:08:36.000 That's fine.
00:08:37.000 Work through Christmas.
00:08:38.000 We got spending cuts.
00:08:39.000 You guys already did a ladder CR.
00:08:40.000 We got FISA 702 to do.
00:08:42.000 What is this all about, guys?
00:08:44.000 And I'm, by the way, I'm always open to this.
00:08:47.000 Blake is great.
00:08:48.000 He always challenges whatever opinion we have, and we try to strengthen our argument.
00:08:52.000 I love disagreement.
00:08:54.000 If anybody in the audience, anybody can give me a rational, well-defended, you know, non-red herring argument of exactly why Republicans need another three and a half weeks off before January 9th, email me freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:09:09.000 I am open to notice.
00:09:11.000 But we have 702 FISA, a 12-year extension, 12-year extension.
00:09:16.000 We got that go-go dancer who calls himself the prime minister of Ukraine, Zelensky, coming and begging more money with the turtle.
00:09:24.000 We have a border that is completely and totally wide open.
00:09:27.000 We have an FBI that is indecipherable from the Gestapo and the Red Guard and the Praetorian Guard.
00:09:34.000 They just go after the political dissidents.
00:09:36.000 It's just completely and totally out of control.
00:09:38.000 Okay.
00:09:39.000 We're borrowing $2 trillion a year. 0.99
00:09:41.000 We got this crackhead traitor who should get the death penalty, Hunter Biden, running around grandstanding and defying congressional subpoenas. 0.98
00:09:52.000 By the way, this is just off the top of my head. 1.00
00:09:53.000 Okay.
00:09:54.000 Not to mention we got the weaponization of the FBI against school boards.
00:09:57.000 I mean, this is just, you know, the IRS of 40,000 new RS agents.
00:10:02.000 And I'm supposed to believe, you know, yeah, we need another Christmas break.
00:10:05.000 Get out of the way, as Alex Jones would say.
00:10:08.000 Get out.
00:10:10.000 The country is collapsing.
00:10:12.000 You're trying to tell me that you guys can't put in the work. 0.99
00:10:16.000 You guys are lazy. 1.00
00:10:17.000 Lazy. 0.94
00:10:18.000 You know, I texted this to Marjorie Taylor Green.
00:10:20.000 I don't want to say everything she said.
00:10:22.000 God bless her. 1.00
00:10:23.000 But I said this.
00:10:25.000 I said, this is a waste of time.
00:10:27.000 What are you doing in D.C.?
00:10:29.000 Honestly, I wouldn't be able to put up with this.
00:10:31.000 And I said some other things as well.
00:10:33.000 I just, this idea that you need another three and a half week vacation.
00:10:39.000 Again, email me freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:10:42.000 Speaker Johnson might not have power because the power, oh, because you don't control.
00:10:47.000 But you know what this power Seeker Johnson does have?
00:10:50.000 He has the power to keep people working, at least turn it into some sort of a sweat lodge.
00:10:55.000 Like set the agenda.
00:10:57.000 Close the doors.
00:10:58.000 Could you imagine when we were writing the United States Constitution in 1787?
00:11:06.000 They said, you know, let's go take another three-week vacation.
00:11:09.000 If the founding fathers had the work ethic of these degenerates in D.C., we wouldn't have a country.
00:11:16.000 Okay.
00:11:16.000 So Hunter Biden is defied a congressional subpoena, illegal, should be held in contempt of Congress, and is going around trying to start this mass sympathy campaign.
00:11:27.000 He's a really degenerate scumbag. 1.00
00:11:29.000 He's the worst of the worst. 1.00
00:11:31.000 Okay, let's play Cut 58.
00:11:33.000 Let me state as clearly as I can.
00:11:36.000 My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma, not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home nor abroad, and certainly not as an artist.
00:11:53.000 I have here the Hunter Biden Marco Polo report.
00:11:56.000 I encourage all of you to check it out.
00:12:00.000 Hey, everybody, I want to introduce you to Artillery Tea Company.
00:12:03.000 Artillery Tea is the premium tea for freedom-loving patriots.
00:12:07.000 I love tea.
00:12:08.000 I drink green tea almost all day.
00:12:10.000 I could tell you.
00:12:10.000 By the way, the health benefits of tea are amazing, especially green tea.
00:12:14.000 It helps you lose weight.
00:12:15.000 It's actually better for you than caffeine.
00:12:16.000 I've been trying not to drink too much coffee.
00:12:19.000 It's not going great, but tea is a great substitute.
00:12:21.000 Their tea is whole leaf for a more full-bodied flavor.
00:12:25.000 Plus, you can brew each bag twice, which gives you about 30 cups per 10.
00:12:30.000 It's a great deal.
00:12:30.000 They got all the flavors you want: Earl Gray, peach, apricot, green tea, chamomile, and many others.
00:12:35.000 I'm a big tea guy, and you should be too.
00:12:37.000 Here's the best part: portion of all sales is donated to veteran and first responders.

00:12:57.000 Check it out right now.
00:13:00.000 All right, everybody, play cut 59.
00:13:02.000 They displayed naked photos of me during an oversight hearing.
00:13:08.000 And they have taken the light of my dad's love, the light of my dad's love for me, and presented it as darkness.
00:13:19.000 They have no shame.
00:13:21.000 Later that day, Hunter ratcheted up the stakes.
00:13:24.000 Hallie, quote, was dropping the kids off and going to see Joe at the lake.
00:13:28.000 If Joe allowed her, Hallie, to make one accusation about Hunter, then Hunter would, quote, never step foot in Delaware again.
00:13:35.000 Evidently, Hallie was telling people that Hunter was getting off sexually with her daughter and that he posed a danger sexually to Natalie.
00:13:44.000 Oh, it continues.
00:13:45.000 Text message after text message.
00:13:47.000 Remember, this entire report was because of Hunter Biden abandoning his laptop.
00:13:52.000 Very strange family here, one after the other, detailing the diary.
00:13:59.000 And by the way, there's page after page after page of sex-related crimes that are so graphic that you would not be able to show them on television.
00:14:08.000 Hunter says, Oh, they showed me naked images of me.
00:14:12.000 How about the influence peddling?
00:14:14.000 By the way, there's 35 pages on drug-related crimes here. 0.98
00:14:18.000 The sex-related stuff is so, he is beyond a degenerate. 0.55
00:14:22.000 And then the business-related crimes. 0.55
00:14:25.000 Marco Polo report detailing Devin Archer, Tony Bobulinsky, selling out the country for cash.
00:14:34.000 Joe Biden, Hunter was involved in the conspiracy.
00:14:38.000 Based on the indisputable paper trail, Hunter would not have been able to use the now infamous family phrase that his uncle Jimmy spouted off with Bobulinsky.
00:14:47.000 Emails, flows of capital, backdating financial documents, business documents.
00:14:55.000 It's all right here.
00:14:56.000 It is not, it's beyond the smoking gun.
00:14:58.000 This is the entire indictment through and through.
00:15:02.000 Report on the Biden laptop.
00:15:04.000 Hunter Biden says, Well, I'm just a victim in this entire thing.
00:15:09.000 Play cut 57.
00:15:10.000 For six years, MAGA Republicans, including members of the House committees who are in a closed-door session right now, have impugned my character, invaded my privacy, attacked my wife, my children, my family, and my friends.
00:15:31.000 They've ridiculed my struggle with addiction.
00:15:34.000 They've belittled my recovery.
00:15:37.000 And they have tried to dehumanize me, all to embarrass and damage my father.
00:15:43.000 No, you're the one that does the dehumanizing Hunter. 0.85
00:15:45.000 Someone should ask him about his relationship with his younger family members.
00:15:50.000 Why are they so afraid to be alone with him?
00:15:54.000 That's not my presupposition. 0.98
00:15:55.000 And by the way, your addiction, like how many hookers did you employ here? 1.00
00:16:00.000 There's at least 50 pages of hookers of you taking pictures. 1.00
00:16:03.000 And by the way, they're mad and they say that Hunter didn't pay me. 0.91
00:16:06.000 Hunter didn't pay me. 0.98
00:16:07.000 He does drugs with the hookers, taking pictures with them, live streaming them.
00:16:12.000 And it's not this whole that I'm an addict thing, as if the heroin fell out of the sky and that you had nothing to do with it. 0.96
00:16:19.000 You are nothing more than a traitor to the country that hides behind people's soft spot for addiction to try and not be held accountable. 0.98
00:16:28.000 You are a proxy and a bad man, a bad man for your father's criminal business empire. 1.00
00:16:33.000 You know it and we all know it. 0.95
00:16:35.000 And you sold out our country for cash.
00:16:37.000 There's stuff that is so graphic here involving his young, young family members that I don't even know if it's appropriate to read it on air.

00:17:56.000 While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.

00:20:29.000 Really fascinating story here.
00:20:30.000 Can't wait to get into it.
00:20:31.000 Mike Yoder is a lawyer and he is going to be coming to AmericaFest, by the way, MFest.com, super smart guy.
00:20:39.000 Really impressive.
00:20:41.000 And Mike Yoder is in the midst of a lawsuit around a straight pride flag.
00:20:46.000 I'm going to let him walk us through the details.
00:20:48.000 Mike, welcome to the program.
00:20:49.000 Your reputation is excellent.
00:20:51.000 People love the work that you do.
00:20:53.000 And welcome to the program.
00:20:54.000 Mike, tell us about this lawsuit.
00:20:56.000 Well, thanks for having on, Charlie.
00:20:57.000 And mainly, I, you know, first and foremost, just want to emphasize before getting into the substance of this that I don't think either side of the political aisle is at any level saying that we don't value equality.
00:21:11.000 And if we want to have equality in schools, we should start by just displaying the American flag since that's the only one that actually represents all of us.
00:21:18.000 However, because of the pervasive push for these pride flags in schools and because of them being by definition exclusive of cisgender people, who that just simply means that you are the way that you came out of the womb and you still identify as the same, straight people or Caucasian people.
00:21:38.000 So if you're going to fight for equality, which they are not doing, and I'll get into that later, they need to have representation of everyone in the school.
00:21:45.000 So that's where the straight pride flag came up as an idea, where in no way are we arguing that these flags should be taken down.
00:21:52.000 We're not arguing anything but us having the equal opportunity to put a flag next to the pride flags because as a federally funded school or public schools throughout this country, you're obligated to comply with federal anti-discrimination laws, which includes laws regarding viewpoint discrimination, which violates the First Amendment based on the government expressing their view and suppressing any view that does not align with theirs.
00:22:16.000 So you have this great packet talking about a Title IX overview, if my Roman numerals are correct.
00:22:23.000 No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation and be denied the benefits or be subjected to discrimination. 0.82
00:22:29.000 And so you argue all public school districts are covered by Title IX, and the straight pride flag falls under that.
00:22:35.000 Even the left-wing media that is covering your legal challenge says that you're probably going to succeed.
00:22:40.000 So now talk about the specific in Colorado.
00:22:43.000 So in Denver Public Schools, they have a policy that actually goes so far as to vest a right in its students, teachers, and staff for the ability to hang a progress pride flag in their classrooms.
00:22:56.000 However, if they were to want to hang a straight pride flag or any other flag, the school, quote unquote, the school does not allow for other flags.
00:23:06.000 That is as textbook as it gets in terms of the viewpoint discrimination.
00:23:09.000 My client has been asking to hang a flag.
00:23:12.000 He has gone through every channel possible.
00:23:14.000 He has done everything that he could to keep this within the Denver public school system by asking respectfully, by asking politely, repeatedly, explaining that this is not to take down a pride flag.
00:23:24.000 This is not to censor that.
00:23:26.000 This is not to silence this speech.
00:23:27.000 It's more than welcome.
00:23:29.000 He has no issue with it.
00:23:30.000 We just want him to be able to have the representation for his twin children in the third grade who are straight Caucasian cisgender individuals.
00:23:39.000 And the school has abjectly refused, even after receiving notice of all the obligations under federal law to refrain from engaging in viewpoint discrimination.
00:23:47.000 And once it gets to that point, that's when we filed suit.
00:23:50.000 And because of the intentional nature of it, that's why we're going for punitive damages because they know that they're discriminating.
00:23:55.000 They know the law.
00:23:56.000 They know their obligations and they simply don't care because they put their policy above the constitutional rights of these kids.
00:24:03.000 So, I mean, and it seems as if you guys are on your way to winning, right?
00:24:06.000 This is Denver Public Schools, very, very pro-LGBT.
00:24:10.000 And you're saying, but shouldn't all speech be protected?
00:24:14.000 How has this been received?
00:24:16.000 Are they saying that this is a hate symbol or whatever nonsense that they do?
00:24:20.000 They actually haven't.
00:24:21.000 They've just called for it to be taken down.
00:24:24.000 There's a change.org petition circulating for whatever reason.
00:24:28.000 I can unequivocally let anyone who has signed that petition know that there is no circumstance under which I will drop this lawsuit until we get an injunction and we protect the rights of all students in that district.
00:24:38.000 And what has happened has been a cultural shift where it's really gone from a focus of prioritizing that constitutional rights and the equal protection clause.
00:24:48.000 And they've transformed this and they've morphed it into an argument about equity, in which equity is nowhere in the Constitution to be found.
00:24:55.000 The Constitution guarantees all Americans equality, and that's the equality of opportunity, whereas equity is the equality of outcome.
00:25:02.000 And that's absolutely antithetical to the principles upon which this nation was founded.
00:25:06.000 That's where the problem lies.
00:25:08.000 That's where the problem remains.
00:25:10.000 And it's veiled under trying to convict or trying to make decisions in America based on the court of public opinion because they prioritize that now over the court of law when the law does not apply in a way that they see favorable.
00:25:23.000 So a spokesperson for the LGBT Colorado sent the following statement.
00:25:27.000 A pride flag is not meant to be exclusive.
00:25:30.000 It is designed to be inclusive.
00:25:31.000 It is meant to draw attention and humanity to people who historically have been considered illegal, ostracized, excluded, and for far too long, quiet victims of discrimination and violence. 0.88
00:25:41.000 A straight pride flag responds to us versus them, wherein a pride flag lifts up all of us, dynamic that recognizes the too often quiet and quieted LGBTQ community. 0.93
00:25:51.000 Okay. 0.98
00:25:51.000 If anyone thinks that the LGBT community is quiet lately, they're insane. 0.98
00:25:55.000 Your reaction to that?
00:25:57.000 My reaction is first, how can you be in an environment where it's an us versus them mentality if we're already included to begin with?
00:26:07.000 Like by definition, your statement is intrinsically inconsistent and contradictory because if we were already included in the pride flag, then it would not be us versus them.
00:26:16.000 It would be why are you getting additional protections in addition to those you already have?
00:26:20.000 If it's an us versus them, by definition, we're not included.
00:26:22.000 So you're contradicting yourself within the own statement.
00:26:25.000 And secondly, if they want to talk about a history and looking back at our nation's history, I think it's fair to say that we have a lot of stains on our nation's history long term.
00:26:33.000 I mean, look at the Corey Matsu case where we had the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.
00:26:37.000 You have Brown versus Board, which was finally able to reverse Plessy versus Ferguson with desegregating schools.
00:26:42.000 We have a lot of cases throughout the 60s and 70s that deal with race and those type of systemic problems that are outdated.
00:26:50.000 These kids in schools were not part of the suffrage that occurred then. 0.91
00:26:55.000 And the other thing about this is that what about present-day violence?
00:26:59.000 And when I say violence, I don't mean just like your feelings get hurt or you don't like something that's, you're told that you can't use a litterbox in the high school women's bathroom because you identify as a cat.
00:27:09.000 That's not violence.
00:27:10.000 Violence is the 12-year-old girl in Oregon who had the daylights knocked out of her by a boy in the middle of a hallway, who I also represent because of allegations of transphobia, which are absolutely meritless.
00:27:24.000 This girl was beat up by a boy. 1.00
00:27:27.000 So if we're talking about violence, there's present-day actual violence being committed.
00:27:31.000 You had the Tennessee shooter with the manifesto that specifically targeted straight white people.
00:27:36.000 And that's where I have a line that needs to be drawn to sand because you can't just continue to spew a narrative when there's no factual basis to support it, especially one that's inherently contradictory.
00:27:48.000 So the question then is, do you hope more lawsuits like this are filed across the country, more challenges using Title IX to try to increase freedom of speech and representation?
00:28:00.000 Well, I actually filed this under the First Amendment because it provides a higher level of protection since it's a fundamental right.
00:28:05.000 It reaches the highest constitutional mustard possible with strict scrutiny.
00:28:08.000 In that packet that I laid out, it goes through various forms, you know, such as Title IX.
00:28:12.000 It goes into viewpoint discrimination.
00:28:14.000 It goes into equal protection.
00:28:16.000 But overall, the goal of this is that because it's federal law, the way that this breaks down is that if you get one parent in a school district, it could be any school within the district.
00:28:25.000 In Denver, for example, there's 205 schools.
00:28:28.000 If you have one parent file suit and you get an injunction against a district-wide policy, that's 205 schools that this one parent is able to save, that this one parent is able to protect and help ensure that there is not this bias within schools.
00:28:42.000 And also, we obviously know the degradation of which way the snowballs into the sexually explicit content that kids are being exposed to as a result of these flags.
00:28:49.000 But without going further into that realm, parents across the country can do this because it takes one per district.
00:28:55.000 And with federal law, it's not triggered on a very variation of a state-by-state basis.
00:29:00.000 Viewpoint discrimination under the First Amendment, the structure that we have it laid out with this lawsuit.
00:29:05.000 I mean, I've even gone, you know, we have flags.
00:29:08.000 I have the packets printed out.
00:29:10.000 We have, you know, I'm doing everything I can to get these in the hands of parents that are willing to take these on.
00:29:15.000 And if it's in a state I'm licensed in, my firm will file these lawsuits.
00:29:19.000 I have other lawyers across the country.
00:29:21.000 And, you know, with you guys doing such a phenomenal job on college campuses, it also applies to, you know, colleges, public funded or federally funded public universities.
00:29:31.000 This could really be a game changer nationwide because you don't have to change the formula.
00:29:36.000 It's very straightforward for every single school. 0.77
00:29:39.000 And we could duplicate that and make that really take over the entirety of this and rein in what's been going on with the LGBTQ movement getting preferential treatment over any other students. 0.64
00:29:51.000 So yes, that is the ultimate goal is, you know, you have one parent per district. 0.58
00:29:56.000 And then in federal courts like the District of Colorado, that one case, if we get the injunction, that's going to set precedent within the district court for the District of Colorado.
00:30:05.000 I have something that I can rely on as a precedent to cite in the next case I file in a different Colorado school district.
00:30:12.000 You do that all over the country and it's very structured where it could just really put the brakes on it and halt all of this going on in schools for good.
00:30:19.000 Mike Yoder, great work.
00:30:20.000 See you at Amfest.
00:30:21.000 Thank you so much.
00:30:22.000 Thanks, Charlie.
00:30:25.000 Christmas and big family feasts are upon us.
00:30:28.000 But in Washington, there's no bigger turkey than Senate Bill 1339.
00:30:32.000 1339 is Bernie's latest attempt to sneak in a backdoor takeover of more of our health care.
00:30:37.000 It'll handcuff the pharmacy benefit managers who are currently saving millions of Americans an average of $1,040 a year.
00:30:43.000 Bernie is hoping that thousands of your fellow Americans are already going to lowermydrugprices.com to stand up against S-1339, that you'll be too busy making holiday plans or getting ready for a year-end vacation.
00:30:54.000 Don't let this happen.
00:30:54.000 I'm urging you to keep up the pressure against the passage of S-1339 by going to lowermydrugprices.com.
00:31:01.000 The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste says if you don't want a socialized system that takes away your personal health care choices, increases costs, and makes you wait longer to see the doctor that is chosen by the government.
00:31:10.000 Go today right now to lowermydrugprices.com to stop the Senate from passing the Sanders Bill.
00:31:15.000 Remember, we have the momentum, but we need your help today.
00:31:18.000 Portions of this program of the Charlie Kirk Show are brought to you in part by the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste.
00:31:25.000 LeBron James shows up at a basketball game and refuses to stand for the national anthem.
00:31:33.000 He walks into the stadium while the national anthem is playing and sits down. 0.83
00:31:40.000 It wasn't like some sort of protest, which was all silly and nonsensical.
00:31:43.000 LeBron James just takes a seat. 0.99
00:31:46.000 LeBron James is a 38-year-old brat. 0.92
00:31:50.000 LeBron James, of course, will not apologize. 0.95
00:31:53.000 He will not show any sort of contrition.
00:31:56.000 LeBron James will never be Jordan.
00:32:00.000 Of course, he'll never be Jordan on the court.
00:32:02.000 He's a choke artist.
00:32:03.000 He's lost more finals than he's won.
00:32:05.000 And his kind of swan song with the L.A. Lakers is kind of an open joke.
00:32:10.000 And the NBA is not what it used to be.
00:32:12.000 Jordan never lost a final for the record.
00:32:14.000 But LeBron will also never have the character of Michael Jordan.
00:32:18.000 Michael Jordan refused to ever be political.
00:32:21.000 He was asked to weigh in on political matters.
00:32:26.000 He said, you know, Republicans buy shoes too.
00:32:28.000 It was his famous quote. 0.90
00:32:31.000 But Jordan, the Jordan James kind of comparison is always silly to me.
00:32:37.000 It's not even in the same continent.
00:32:40.000 And don't forget that LeBron faked a graffiti hate attack on his house, and it was brushed under the rug.
00:32:47.000 Here's LeBron James in front of the cameras talking about his mother country, China.
00:32:52.000 Play Cut 75.
00:32:54.000 We all talk about this freedom of speech.
00:32:56.000 Yes, we all do have freedom of speech.
00:32:58.000 But at times, there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you're not thinking about others and you only think about yourself.
00:33:06.000 So I don't believe, I don't want to get into a word or sentence feud with Daryl, with Daryl Moray, but I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand.
00:33:19.000 And he spoke.
00:33:21.000 And so many people could have been harmed, not only financially, but physically, emotionally, spiritually.
00:33:29.000 So just be careful what we tweet and we say and what we do, even though, yes, we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that, too.
00:33:38.000 Last question, please.
00:33:39.000 So when I see the Lakers' logo, I can't help but contrast him with someone who was a good person.
00:33:48.000 He didn't always act the best, but he was in the pursuit of greatness, and that's Kobe Bryant.
00:33:54.000 Kobe Bryant went to mass nearly every single day.
00:33:56.000 Kobe Bryant had that alleged rape controversy.
00:33:59.000 I think a lot of that was blown out of the water.
00:34:02.000 Kobe Bryant did his best to be a family man.
00:34:04.000 Kobe Bryant would never kneel for the national anthem.
00:34:09.000 Kobe Bryant would never sit for the national anthem.
00:34:12.000 Kobe Bryant and the terrible helicopter crash that happened near Thousand Oaks was one of the great, and he killed his daughter too, was one of the great tragedies. 0.92
00:34:20.000 LeBron James is a self-interested, narcissistic, and we know he's not very smart.
00:34:27.000 He does these press conferences where he thinks he's making sense spiritually and freedom of speech.
00:34:33.000 But he's a product of his time.
00:34:35.000 What would you expect from LeBron James?
00:34:38.000 It's cool to insult America. 0.98
00:34:40.000 It's cool to sell yourself out to China. 0.98
00:34:43.000 You know what's in vogue right now in America? 0.95
00:34:45.000 Slow-motion suicide.
00:34:47.000 LeBron James thinks that's awesome.
00:34:50.000 He would never do that to China, the people who pay his bills.
00:34:54.000 LeBron James, if his dear leader, Xi Ji Ping, walked in, he'd say, aya, sir, what can I do?
00:35:01.000 But LeBron James is just another example of what modernity gets you, which in his case is someone who happens to have some talent, obviously playing basketball, not as good as Jordan, not very bright, not wise, not somebody of good character, but is a blowhard.
00:35:18.000 He'll never have to apologize.
00:35:20.000 He'll never have to admit failure.
00:35:22.000 And of course, everyone knows that LeBron James chronically cheats on his wife, obviously.
00:35:26.000 He's an NBA player.
00:35:28.000 Savannah James should be asked by that.
00:35:30.000 Hey, how do you feel about your husband cheating on you all the time? 0.89
00:35:33.000 But that's just how the NBA works.
00:35:35.000 The whole thing is an open marriage.
00:35:38.000 He's immoral in almost everything he does. 0.66
00:35:40.000 He shouldn't be lifted up, but I don't think most Americans do.
00:35:44.000 He would obviously stand for the China national anthem, and he can't even show a modicum of respect for the country that has given him everything.
00:35:51.000 The question is: what has LeBron James given this country? 0.62
00:35:54.000 Not very much, except for being a 38-year-old brat, self-interested, and unpatriotic.
