00:00:31.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:38.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:34.000Some of the nastiest interactions and death threats I receive are from the trans world.
00:01:40.000Matt, how should we think about all of this?
00:01:42.000Yeah, I think this is something that people are maybe beginning to understand.
00:01:48.000Look, obviously, in our culture these days, if you take a stand on any topic, and if your stand happens to be correct, then you're guaranteed to get pushback.
00:01:59.000And the bigger your platform, the more visible you are, then the greater the pushback will be.
00:02:08.000There's a kind of, there's just the intensity, the evil behind it.
00:02:12.000And the way that they feel, the people that come after you, trans activists, they feel absolutely entitled to say and do anything at all to shut you down, silence you, intimidate you.
00:02:25.000And they feel entitled to do it because they've been told by society, by our institutions that they've been implicitly and sometimes explicitly encouraged to act out this way.
00:02:36.000I also think it's different because there's this notion that your self-identity, your self-perception, it's who you really are.
00:02:46.000So a man who identifies as a woman, well, this is my identification as a woman.
00:02:51.000So if you come along and I identify as a woman and you come along and refuse to go along with that, you don't affirm it because you instead affirm reality.
00:03:01.000Well, now you're compromising my self-perception, which is who I believe I am.
00:03:06.000So it's almost like an act of murder against my perceived version of myself, which they think gives them the right to act in self-defense, even to the point of violence.
00:03:22.000So they believe and they are taught by professors, the institutions, mass media, Hollywood, the social contagion of TikTok.
00:03:31.000They are taught that if somebody believes that there are only two sexes and you can't have an imaginary existence, a delusion, that is an act of genocide.
00:03:40.000Is that where that term, the trans genocide comes from, Matt?
00:03:45.000Yeah, that is where it comes from because it certainly doesn't come from any actual epidemic of murders.
00:03:53.000I think, and the Daily Wire had a report about this recently.
00:03:56.000The FBI, their most recent year available for data on this is 2021.
00:04:01.000And if you go to the FBI data on hate crimes, you know, what the FBI considers hate crimes in 2021, you're going to find that there were, according to the FBI, two anti-trans hate crime murders in the year of 2021.
00:04:30.000What they're actually referring to is our assault on their self-perception.
00:04:37.000So if you simply say something that they disagree with, if you say something that contradicts gender ideology, then that itself is an act of genocide because you're compromising and calling into question their self-perception.
00:04:50.000Matt, you've been so persuasive on this topic.
00:04:52.000The film, What is a Woman, is one of the best I've ever seen, not just in this genre, but more broadly.
00:04:58.000However, some people, Matt, and I think you're moving the Overton window, they feel uncomfortable because they'll say this, but why do I care what you believe with yourself?
00:05:06.000You know, why would I care if a man thinks he's a woman?
00:05:09.000And your response is, well, first, I care about the truth.
00:05:11.000And secondly, that's not what we're debating here, actually.
00:05:14.000We're not debating somebody's own personal imagination in their bedroom.
00:05:19.000What we are debating is why do we have to reconfigure society and accommodate your delusion so that ordinary people have to change our customs, our code of conduct, our language, how we raise our children to pander to an ever-radical mentally unstable minority.
00:05:37.000If this was actually just an issue of people in their own homes who are perceiving themselves a certain way, then obviously, you know, what you, the thoughts you have in your, your head, that's not, that doesn't automatically become an issue for anybody else until you decide to make it an issue for everybody else.
00:07:08.000And yeah, the trans day of vengeance, which I first started hearing about this week, but apparently has been planned for, you know, weeks ago, when there was first reports circulating about some sort of day of vengeance, I think it's sort of unclear about what that even means.
00:07:22.000Like anytime, anytime on the left, anytime they say anything, it's always unclear what they mean.
00:07:27.000So, and it's also, in this case, it's meant to be.
00:07:29.000It's got it, yeah, it's a day of vengeance.
00:07:33.000Well, you know, interpret it how you like.
00:07:34.000That's what they're saying to whoever might participate in this.
00:07:37.000So it is a very not so subtle kind of wink, wink, nudge, nudge thing of, you know, vengeance.
00:07:44.000Just take vengeance for whatever crime you think has been committed against you.
00:07:49.000And, you know, there have been, there's been some chatter of people that they say, well, maybe the trans day of vengeance should happen outside of Daily Wire headquarters.
00:07:55.000So, I don't know what's going to happen.
00:07:56.000Look, I get just like I know you do, there are a lot of threats that come in all the time.
00:08:01.000And fortunately, the vast majority of them are from people that are, you know, stereotypical in their mom's basements kind of thing.
00:08:55.000This is they're going after truth itself, and they're doing it.
00:08:59.000They're doing it to start with by going after our children because they know that our children are the most susceptible.
00:09:06.000They know that it's oftentimes it's going to be a tough sell.
00:09:08.000If you go to an adult who's lived in reality his whole life and who understands men are men and women are women, to go to somebody like that and try to convince them to just abandon all of that is not always going to be easy.
00:09:18.000Now, Democrat politicians, Joe Biden was willing to do it because, well, because he has dementia, but many Democrat politicians are willing to do it because they have political stake in it.
00:09:26.000But if you're going to a normal person, that's going to be a tough sell.
00:09:30.000Children, on the other hand, have very little understanding of reality.
00:09:33.000And so, if you can get to them and you can get to them young, then they become your kind of disciples for this madness.
00:09:40.000And so, it's the way that it goes after truth and it's the way that it uniquely attacks our children that I think makes it a threat, you know, unlike anything else that we face in modern society.
00:09:52.000One of the most powerful moments of your film, Matt, is when you're talking to that freak from Boston, that gender-affirming care.
00:09:57.000I don't know how you got her to agree to an interview.
00:09:59.000And you ask her, Well, what about somebody who believes, I think, Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus or whatever, right?
00:10:27.000The trans thing is just in some ways kind of just a manifestation of this, but it's a question of what is true, what is a lie.
00:10:35.000It determines the entire civilization.
00:10:40.000Look, are you concerned about the American K-12 education system?
00:10:44.000Are you worried about what your children and your grandchildren are learning or honestly not learning in school?
00:10:49.000If you answer yes, my friends at Hillsdale College have a free resource for you.
00:10:52.000Hillsdale College understands the importance of education to the future of our country.
00:10:56.000They're now offering 10 free print copies of their recent issue of In Primus.
00:11:03.000It's titled Education as a Battleground, written by Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arne.
00:11:08.000The special issue provides a factual account of the issues in the ongoing battle over education, explaining why parents and teachers, not unelected bureaucrats or activists, should guide what our children are learning.
00:11:22.000With Hillsdale College, you can make a difference in your community by distributing these copies of In Primus at your church, local business, or even in your doctor's office.
00:11:31.000Do not miss this opportunity to arm yourself with the facts.
00:11:34.000Claim your 10 free copies of Education as a Battleground by visiting charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:11:58.000Fear pervades the Tennessee trans community amid focus on Nashville shooters' gender identity.
00:12:03.000Matt, they're more worried about the feelings of trans people and the proper gender pronouns than six dead Christians, Matt.
00:12:12.000Yeah, this is the victim narrative that they absolutely can't, they can't let go of it.
00:12:16.000And so, you know, no matter what happens, it's kind of, we, we, you can make a joke about it in other contexts when there's not dead children that we're talking about, but it's like they tell us that climate change is going to extinguish all life on earth in the next 12 years and women and minorities most impacted.
00:12:34.000So they're always, no matter what happens, it's always, well, it most affects our preferred marginalized group.
00:12:40.000And they're taking that principle and they're applying it here when it's especially grotesque given what happened.
00:12:46.000And they're also helped in this attempt, as absurd as it is, to somehow make trans people a victim by at the same time, sort of given an assist by the Nashville police, in my view, refusing to release the manifesto of the shooter.
00:13:00.000Now, I think it's very clear, obviously, what happened and why it happened.
00:13:07.000But we're also told that it was laid out in writing and we deserve to see it laid out in writing.
00:13:11.000But you've got LGBT groups that I think it was Newsweek reported, LGBT groups are actively campaigning against the release of the manifesto.
00:13:20.000It reveals that there actually might be elements of their mafia and their cartel that want us dead.
00:13:27.000Well, I think what it will reveal is that not only was this, as we can guess, a targeted attack against Christians.
00:13:34.000They already told us that, but that this person was radicalized by a lot of this rhetoric from these same LGBT groups.
00:13:41.000I mean, they're the ones always warning about people being radicalized by rhetoric, and they always focus that on the right wing.
00:13:47.000Well, when you go around, look, when you take people who already are, you know, have troubles, let's just say, and they're already confused and they're already in a state of despair and confusion and all the rest of it.
00:13:58.000And then you tell them that there's a genocide, that these people want you dead, that they're going to kill you.
00:14:04.000You know, that has a certain effect, and I believe it's an intended effect.
00:14:07.000And they don't want us to see that all written out as it apparently was.
00:14:12.000I'm just, so many of the words they use, Matt, is similar to the lexicon that we used to use about Islamists radicalizing young men to become terrorists.
00:14:51.000My attitude is we have to lean in and we have to say this is the fight of our time and we're not going to be intimidated by terrorists regardless of where they come from.
00:15:01.000Yeah, I mean, 100%, our response should be to double down, to triple down.
00:15:06.000That always should be your response when the left tries to intimidate you.
00:15:09.000And especially now, you just have to decide what kind of society do you want to live in and live in.
00:15:14.000And more specifically, do you want to give up?
00:15:16.000Are you just giving up on civilization?
00:16:19.000Comes from the moral universe of relativism, which is where all this, which is really the ultimate project of the left, is relativism, is a world where truth is entirely relative to the whims of the individual and to your ego.
00:16:30.000And that's why they care so much about the trans stuff.
00:16:33.000It's not even the trans stuff at the bottom of all this.
00:16:35.000It's actually the relativistic project that they have for our culture.
00:16:39.000And I think that's where it all comes from.
00:16:41.000Relativism will lead you to totalitarianism.

00:18:25.000They didn't want a tyrannical government that was infringing on all of our other God-given rights.
00:18:31.000And they wanted us to have the ability to defend ourselves at all costs.
00:18:37.000And, you know, we don't often hear the stories of the good guy with a gun.
00:18:42.000The mainstream media that's been hijacked by progressive woke liberals only want to talk about the deranged bad guys with guns.
00:18:51.000But firearms are a great deterrent and a great protector of life, which is so sacred and something that the left seems to disregard and really just use it for political theater when it fits their narrative rather than actually protecting life when it comes to,
00:19:14.000let's say, in the womb, let's say policies that don't hurt your way of life and cause people to go into poverty.
00:19:24.000You know, there's so many things that the left does that actually hinders life and doesn't protect it, but they're all about protecting the elites and fitting their narrative.
00:19:34.000But the Second Amendment ultimately is our self-defense to protect ourselves from crazy people and a tyrannical government.
00:20:08.000So, Lauren, we're seeing the gun grabbers going into full gear.
00:20:11.000Let's just play a couple pieces of tape here.
00:20:13.000Let's go to, I haven't even heard this one yet.
00:20:16.000Joe Scarborough, let's go to Cut 52 and you could respond to Morning Joe, Mika and Joe, play Cut 52.
00:20:22.000They're talking about a freedom that they've made up in their own twisted heads because they've been whipped into a paranoid frenzy by the NRA for 25 years.
00:20:32.000You know, now they're claiming the Second Amendment protects things it just doesn't protect.
00:20:37.000And their position, let's be clear: the Republican Party says waging a war on cops, right?
00:20:43.000Those cops that you saw in that incredible body cam footage, those cops would probably love to be running in on a knife, a knife incident.
00:20:55.000Lauren, did we just invent this out of thin air because of a paranoid frenzy?
00:21:10.000We have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness or personal property, whichever rendition or whatever version you want to go by.
00:21:24.000The party of defund the police, they don't want police.
00:21:27.000We just had a committee hearing today with the DC council members who have cut the Metropolitan Police Department's budget here in Washington, D.C. by over $60 million in three fiscal years.
00:21:40.000They are the ones who are waging this war on our police officers, limiting them the ability to do their jobs, to do it effectively.
00:21:50.000They want to get rid of them, you know, unless it's Corey Bush, who only wants her own personal private security that she can pay for with campaign contributions.
00:21:59.000She's not going to pay for it out of her own pocket, but it's okay for her to have police officers protect herself, but not anyone else.
00:22:06.000We're going to defund the rest of them.
00:22:25.000So the narrative would just shift however they wanted to do so.
00:22:31.000I am so proud that those officers were there, that they engaged, that they didn't run like cowards like we saw in Uvalde at the horrible school shooting there.
00:22:40.000They went in, they assessed the threat, and they terminated the threat as should be.
00:22:46.000And so I commend these police officers.
00:22:50.000There would have been much more, many more casualties had they not had the bravery to go in and do their job, do what they swore to do to protect and serve their community.
00:23:11.000More people then acquire the kind of ideology of wanting to protect their guns.
00:23:16.000And then more people see big problems in their lives that government can't solve and get demoralized about government, which helps this extremist right ideology.
00:23:27.000And it is sickening to watch them try to claim the idea of freedom.
00:24:28.000And the Democrats are just completely disillusioned with this when it comes to firearms and freedoms and what our rights actually are.
00:24:37.000They think they are the granters of our rights.
00:24:40.000And that's why I am proud to serve a higher being than any government-elected official or unelected bureaucrat.
00:24:47.000I serve the creator, and I know that that is where my rights come from.
00:24:52.000And he is not going to take those rights away from me like a corrupt politician would.
00:24:57.000But this is something that they get wrong time and time again.
00:25:01.000They are fine to have firearms preserve their life, but they don't want the average Joe walking down the street to be able to do the same.
00:25:09.000We saw that with Nancy Pelosi when she had the fences up around the United States Capitol building with miles of razor wire and tens of thousands of armed National Guards.
00:27:22.000I've not yet been to that portion of our southern border.
00:27:25.000Border Patrol agents know exactly what these colors mean.
00:27:29.000They know how they're coordinated and where they're coming from.
00:27:33.000This is something that the secretary should absolutely know about.
00:27:40.000And this is another lie to Congress, just like stating that the southern border is secure.
00:27:48.000Goodness, our ports of entry aren't even secure.
00:27:51.000We have seen the invasions take place through our ports of entry.
00:27:54.000And so, I mean, this is an absolute disgrace.
00:27:58.000This is a national security crisis that we are in, a humanitarian crisis.
00:28:03.000The flow of fentanyl that is coming in, the unaccompanied minors, the rape of children, the murder of so many people down on the southern border, whether it's American citizens or these migrants illegal crossing and illegally crossing into our country, all of it is at a peak right now of the worst of the worst.
00:28:24.000We saw Democrats outraged under the Trump administration over the southern border, and there's nothing.
00:28:30.000It's been crickets for over two years now, and we have to do something to hold them accountable.
00:28:37.000It is revolting what is happening there at the border.
00:28:40.000And, you know, kudos to Senator Cruz for calling him out on that, because this is a huge priority and something that we have to get out in front of.
00:28:50.000I'm proud of Secretary, excuse me, Speaker McCarthy for saying that he's bringing up the Texas border plan so we can have a vote on that and begin action to secure our southern border.
00:29:01.000The invasion of our southern border, it's daily treason.
00:29:05.000What is happening on behalf of Maorcus?
00:29:25.000And then she comes here to tell us how racist and awful and bigoted and terrible our values and our customs are.
00:29:31.000You just got to, you cannot have an immigration policy that allows people like Elon Omar, who have contempt for the nation, to come in and they refuse to assimilate play cut 73.
00:30:02.000Look, Ilhan has her own history that we can dig into.
00:30:06.000You know, there's a lot of things in my Democrat colleagues that I'm ashamed of when it comes to the way our country is being run right now.
00:30:15.000But, you know, this is another fake outrage in an attempt to strip the rights away from American citizens.
00:30:24.000And I agree with you, Charlie, on the immigration and how we should not allow people who absolutely hate and despise our country and our values to come in and be citizens and certainly serve in the United States House of Representatives as a federal legislator.
00:30:43.000I mean, this is something that is just a slap in the face, and Americans are being spit on by her rhetoric and her disregard for our country, for our Constitution, for the flag that so many men and women have died for.
00:30:59.000And I've met people who have immigrated here legally.
00:31:04.000I've been to the naturalization ceremonies and I see the pride in their eyes as they hold in their hand a small American flag.
00:31:13.000And there's just a knowing that they recognize this is the one true symbol of liberty and justice for all.
00:31:21.000And they honor it and they revere that sentiment and they'll do anything to keep America free because they came from somewhere that did not have freedoms.
00:31:29.000And, you know, maybe one of the things that we need to address with the Democrat parties, you played a clip from the teachers union with Randy there talking.
00:31:38.000Maybe one thing we need to address is we're not a democracy.
00:31:49.000And that is something that needs to be taught in our schools, not this woke critical race theory on how to hate our country and hate your fellow classmates and community members because of the color of their skin.
00:32:02.000Maybe teach a little honor and respect for our history and the correct history rather than all this woke nonsense that produces the Ilhan Omars of the world.
00:32:11.000Yeah, I mean, look, Elon has contempt for the nation, and she should have nothing but gratitude.
00:32:18.000And she's an ingrate, and that's why we call her Elon the Ingram.
00:32:22.000And it really is something you should, you cannot let people into the country that loathe the country.
00:32:30.000Lauren, I want to ask one more kind of question here.
00:32:33.000Department of Justice is completely out of control.
00:32:35.000We have new evidence that they told the U.S. Marshals not to arrest protesters outside of Supreme Court justices' homes against federal law.
00:32:44.000Matt Taibbi gets a house visit from the IRS.
00:32:48.000Any thoughts on this anarcho-tyranny chapter that we seem to be living in?
00:32:53.000Well, Charlie, we know that this is going on.
00:32:55.000And that's why one of our demands in the House Speaker's race was to establish the weaponization of the federal government committee and make sure that it is fully staffed and fully funded so they are able to expose exactly what this weaponized government, what these weaponized agencies in the federal government are doing to the American people or allowing to take place that is completely illegal.
00:33:20.000And that's why we have great members of Congress like Jim Jordan, Dan Bishop, we have Matt Gates on this weaponization committee so they can expose exactly what's going on.
00:33:29.000But unfortunately, Charlie, we only have the majority in the House right now.
00:33:34.000So certainly we can get this information out to the American people, but we have to turn that into a majority in the Senate and take back the White House if we actually want to correct this problem and gut out these agencies that have been weaponized, that have gone woke, that are against the American people.
00:33:54.000We aren't going to be able to do that with just the majority in the House.
00:33:57.000So these next two years are two years of exposure.
00:34:01.000It is illegal to picket outside of a Supreme Court justice's home and get them to sway their opinion on a decision that they're going to make.
00:34:10.000And these people were picketing and you could even call it rioting.
00:34:15.000And Justice Kavanaugh was almost murdered.
