00:00:41.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:49.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:01.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:10.000We have a duty to you, the audience, to report terrible news, especially after tragedies.
00:01:16.000Yesterday in Nashville, an unspeakable horror occurred.
00:01:21.000We're going to tell you the facts and circumstances surrounding it.
00:01:24.000Before we get into that, though, I just want to make it very clear that I hate shows like this, and they happen every so often where something tragic and awful and horrendous happens, and we have to cover it anyway.
00:01:38.000So full disclosure, not exactly delighting, but we have a duty to you, the audience, to tell you what's happening.
00:01:45.000And we're going to use the Socratic method to find the truth, ask the right questions, and also wonder why the media is not covering this.
00:01:52.000Okay, we didn't say much about the shooting yesterday at the Covenant Christian School in Nashville because we wanted to wait for all the facts to come out.
00:01:59.000And now they have, and they're even more horrifying than anyone could have imagined.
00:02:04.000The shooter, who is the manifestation of evil, murdered three adults and three children and was a 28-year-old woman.
00:02:13.000I'm not going to say the name on air to try to prevent copycats, but the identity unfortunately matters here because how the media is covering it and other additional dynamics that are playing into this.
00:02:23.000Now, having a woman shooter is really uncommon.
00:02:26.000There's almost zero woman mass shooters.
00:02:29.000Well, you may or may not have heard, but the shooter identified as a man.
00:02:36.000Now, we want to empathize and emphasize, I'm sorry, that there's still a lot we don't know and in many days or weeks to come.
00:02:43.000Now, we're going to talk about the trans wrinkle here, but by no means do we believe that every person who thinks they're a different sex than what they were at birth is to blame for this.
00:02:56.000However, there are dynamics at play that are worthy of examination and inquiry, especially when it comes from cultural dynamics, media dynamics, and the dynamic that is seemingly with overwhelming evidence that this was a targeted hate crime at a Christian school.
00:03:14.000There is more and more evidence to show that this was indeed a hate crime.
00:03:29.000But if the shooter was, testosterone makes a person more aggressive, and it definitely plays havoc with a person who is already psychologically unstable.
00:03:40.000I hope the manifesto has been taken by the FBI.
00:03:44.000I hope we learn what is in that manifesto.
00:03:46.000It is indisputably true that there are a lot of voices affirming this transgenderism social contagion.
00:03:55.000Now, there's an entire narrative promoted by the media by nonprofits and elected Democrats that there's an alleged genocide of trans people.
00:04:02.000I hear it all the time when I go to these college campuses.
00:04:04.000Charlie, what are you doing about the genocide of trans people?
00:04:30.000Now, for years now, the media and the Democrat Party have been hyping up this false and hysterical narrative.
00:04:36.000The New York Post headline just five days ago, quote, Nebraska Democrat halts legislation over trans bill she calls genocide.
00:04:43.000On March 19th in Wisconsin, there was a protest at the state capitol called the Day of Resistance to Transgender Genocide.
00:04:51.000There's literally even a Wikipedia page for this fake transgender genocide as we are preparing and contemplating aggressive counter-legal action where I was slandered and lied about for saying that I called for the lynching of trans people.
00:05:07.000And what it does is it incites further violence and incites activity that is not grounded in reason or rationality.
00:05:16.000So when people push these hysterical narratives, there are psychologically unstable people who are going to take them seriously and start plotting violence.
00:05:27.000For years, we called transgenderism gender dysphoria.
00:05:32.000These people deserve treatment, compassion, and they deserve treatment that will bring them back into alignment with biological reality.
00:05:40.000But it is a fact that they are suffering from a mental delusion.
00:05:44.000What we have done is we have now basically told these people that have mental delusions that there are millions of people that are Christians and conservatives that want them dead.
00:05:54.000Did that play a role into what we saw yesterday?
00:05:58.000In Oklahoma, for example, the legislature has been considering its own bill to restrict the mutilation of child castration.
00:06:05.000In response to that, there were protests in the state yesterday.
00:06:07.000One of them, the protesters, said trans rights or else.
00:06:12.000This attorney and trans psychopath, Alejandra Cabaret, tweeted, quote, thank God Tennessee protected the children from the so-called horrors of drag and gender-affirming care so they could be shot up at a school by an AR-15 instead.
00:06:26.000In other words, Welp, we warned you, now you get to pay the price.
00:06:29.000The not-so-subtle radical media narratives, not all the media, they're basically saying this is what you get when you pass trans legislation.
00:06:37.000There are people all throughout Twitter and social media that are basically saying, well, you guys asked for it.
00:06:41.000You got three dead kids and three dead teachers at a Christian school.
00:06:45.000You guys should never have passed that bill in Tennessee.
00:06:47.000Now, this Alejandra is not just a random person.
00:06:50.000This person taught at Harvard Law School, was actually brought in front of Congress by Democrats to testify on social media safety.
00:07:27.000All of us that receive lots and lots of death threats.
00:07:30.000It is the trans issue where we are the recipient of the most vile, direct threats against our livelihoods, against our families, against our organizations, and against our activities.
00:07:41.000Am I saying all people that are trans do that?
00:07:46.000But it is a fact that the nastiness, the nastiest messages and things that we receive happen to be from this particular community.
00:07:55.000Now, look, if we can step away from the political rhetoric and dig deep down, there's a lot of violent fantasies, unfortunately, amongst trans radicals.
00:08:04.000Fantasies about their opponents being horribly tortured and killed.
00:08:08.000I could go through and read the death threats on air.
00:08:10.000And I'm not saying, I'm not doing this so you feel sorry for me.
00:08:12.000I'm doing it as a fact that unfortunately, this particular group that we are not allowed to ever criticize has a violent undercurrent that tragically manifested in three dead kids and three dead teachers yesterday.
00:08:28.000Let's please put up the Trans Day of Vengeance graphic if we have it.
00:08:33.000But April 1st, assembling at the Supreme Court, it says, wear a mask, bring a buddy.
00:08:38.000Trans Day of Vengeance, stop trans genocide.
00:08:41.000The Trans Day of Vengeance is April 1st at 11 a.m.
00:08:45.000The internet on Twitter is also peppered with picture after picture after picture of trans people with weapons, semi-automatic shotguns and other weapons, saying trans rights with a bunch of guns, and it says dot, dot, dot, or else.
00:09:00.000Now that could come across as a threat.
00:09:02.000I mean, we're all for firearm ownership.
00:09:03.000We're all for all these people owning guns.
00:09:07.000But was the person yesterday incited by the alphabet mafia and people like Scott Weiner and the trans lobby to tragically not just hurt themselves, but also kill others?
00:09:20.000And Tucker called this out last week by the NPR gave a fawning coverage to trans groups getting armed, calling it rainbow reload.
00:09:28.000And was this a direct attack on Christians?
00:09:33.000It seems like it's hard to trust anything anymore.
00:09:35.000Our most important institutions are being destroyed piece by piece.
00:13:28.000But we have a lot of questions, that's for sure.
00:13:31.000I want to play some pieces of tape here, but I mean, we've said this before on this program, and I'm confused why this is such a challenging thing to get done.
00:13:42.000Why is it that airports, banks, and sporting events are protected with armed guards, but schools are not?
00:13:49.000I understand the argument that people don't want the fortification of America, but I'll be very clear.
00:13:55.000I will not send my daughter to a school if it does not have several armed guards and a single point of entry, period.
00:14:02.000Like, that's just going to be my criteria.
00:15:21.000The New York Times has said, quote, there is confusion later on Monday about the gender identity of the assailant.
00:15:26.000Officials had used she and her to refer to the suspect, who, according to a social media post and a LinkedIn profile, appeared to identify as a man in recent months.
00:15:33.000The New York Times is more worried about what pronouns are being used for this Nashville shooter, evil person, than the carnage left in the wake of gender delusion.
00:15:52.000Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Mike Lindell with My Pillow is launching the My Pillow 2.0.
00:15:58.000That's right, you heard me, My Pillow 2.0.

00:16:06.000But now, 20 years later, he discovered a new technology that makes it even better.

00:16:52.000Not surprisingly, the media has now ignored the fact that the shooter was trans, which is not the whole story, but it is part of the story.
00:17:01.000They're very worried that people are misgendering the shooter.
00:17:05.000The sensitivities of the shooter are being focused on by the New York Times.
00:17:11.000The New York Times is worried about this evil person's pronouns.
00:20:42.000There's a practical goal here, to prepare and protect themselves.
00:20:46.000If the world is dangerous, then you have to be dangerous back.
00:20:50.000And that very much has pushed me into where I am now.
00:20:54.000I'm all for people owning guns and arming themselves, but this is part of incitement, though.
00:20:59.000They're creating a fake narrative, just like how they lied about me and when we were under attack at University of California Davis.
00:21:06.000This is part, we actually saw at UC Davis a microcosm of the macro strategy.
00:21:12.000Find something that Charlie Kirk says, lie about it completely, say that Charlie Kirk wants to lynch trans people and then deploy a violent mob with weapons to go after him.
00:21:22.000We needed 100 police officers to protect our event.
00:21:25.000Do you start to see the playbook here?
00:21:27.000And the media is totally on board with it.
00:21:30.000The media is actually pushing forward this total lie that there's a trans genocide.
00:22:18.000The same person who started the lynching rumor against me, who said that I wanted to lynch trans people, which was a lie.
00:22:24.000We've been through that on the program.
00:22:25.000We've covered it, delights in violence against Andy No, saying that, quote, political violence to Andy No is survival to the LGBT community.
00:22:35.000It's part of our history and part of our blood.
00:23:19.000Teacher union boss Weingarten calls for a repeal of the Second Amendment, play cut 32.
00:23:26.000And how many lives will be shattered before we have the courage to do what Scotland did, what Australia did, what New Zealand did, what other great democracies do.
00:23:43.000We must solve this epidemic, and that's up to us.
00:23:48.000And they're talking about the epidemic of gun violence.
00:23:50.000Look, a mature society must acknowledge costs.
00:23:56.000A second amendment protects all the other amendments.
00:23:59.000And if you don't think our government can become tyrannical, it's already tyrannical.
00:24:03.000Look what we lived through during COVID.
00:24:05.000Therefore, if you allow gun ownership, you must acknowledge and admit that you will never be able to get gun violence to zero.
00:24:12.000There will be externalities that you do not like.
00:24:14.000Therefore, the mature and the prudent way to approach it is how do we minimize suffering, unnecessary suffering.
00:24:21.000And therefore, if you acknowledge that gun ownership is a moral good, which it absolutely is, to protect the other rights given to us by God, therefore, you should protect the places you care about with firearms, period.
00:24:36.000If we protect banks, sporting events, and airports with guns, if we protect celebrities' homes with guns, if we protect the Oscars with guns, we protect the Super Bowl with guns, then I think our children should be protected with guns.
00:25:17.000Was this the only school that was targeted?
00:25:20.000It was the only school that was targeted.
00:25:23.000There was another location that was mentioned, but because of a threat assessment by the suspect, too much security, they decided not to in that area.
00:25:33.000The shooter chose the school because it was a soft target, because there wasn't enough security.
00:27:46.000I mean, yeah, if you frame it like that, gun safety measures, who could vote against that in a poll?
00:27:51.000But when it actually gets down to the details, the American people always side on the, almost always go on the side of the Second Amendment, almost always.
00:27:58.000Once the details are examined, people say, well, I don't know, actually.
00:28:02.000And again, you must be very clear about the purpose of the Second Amendment.
00:28:06.000The Second Amendment is not there for hunting.
00:28:09.000The Second Amendment is not even there for personal defense.
00:28:11.000The Second Amendment is there to protect us from tyranny.
00:28:15.000And I know people, I have a friend in Illinois who very recently never used to be pro-gun or anything.
00:28:21.000First time in his life said, Charlie, I'll be honest, I might go buy a gun.
00:28:25.000I understand kind of why the founders gave us that Second Amendment.
00:28:31.000I know that's an uncomfortable thing for people to say because there is kind of this philosophical and intellectual bridge you have to cross of, are we really buying guns to one day protect ourselves against a tyrannical government?
00:28:49.000But the 20th century is full of example after example of disarming the citizenry, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, terrorizing and committing genocide against the people.
00:29:03.000The founding fathers that in order for people to remain free, the people needed an ability to defend themselves, defend their liberties, and defend their rights against an overreaching, potentially tyrannical government.
00:29:46.000We shut down our country for a couple years and masked our children and mandated a gene-altering shot because we said that would never happen here.
00:29:57.000We shut down restaurants, clubs, schools, social gatherings, all because the experts told us.
00:30:02.000We kept strip clubs, marijuana dispensaries, and liquor stores open, but we closed churches.
00:30:09.000You think that would ever happen in this country?
00:30:10.000There's a lot of things that have happened in this country the last couple of years that we would say never happened before.
00:30:15.000So wake up and it might get a lot worse.
00:30:19.000The Second Amendment comes with a price.
00:30:21.000The price is you're going to have some bad people use those weapons in bad ways.
00:30:26.000But the benefit of the Second Amendment far outweighs the cost.
00:30:29.000The benefit is a hedge against tyranny.
00:30:32.000The benefit is free people have an ability to protect themselves.
00:30:35.000God forbid our government decides to turn the guns against us.
