The Left's Childfree Suicide Cult

00:00:03 Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. 00:00:11 Speaker 2: My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. 00:00:14 Speaker 1: If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start at turning point, you would say, college chapter. Go start atturning point, you say, high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. 00:00:45 Speaker 3: Here I am Lord, Use me. 00:00:48 Speaker 1: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. 00:01:09 Speaker 3: All right, Welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show. February twenty seventh, twenty twenty six. Blake, welcome, How do you I. 00:01:16 Speaker 4: Feel like this is a day where we're almost it almost feels annoying because it feels like we're on the cusp of very dramatic events or we can't see them. So Bill Clinton testifying on the Epstein probe, but it's behind closed doors. Can't watch it. Iran, we might bomb them any minute. We might have a war over the weekend. Apparently US personnel are getting evacuated from sites China and Is. Yeah, so a lot going on there. It could be the last minute brinkmanship before some deal is reached in it all polls back or the decision might be made, but for now, we don't know. 00:01:51 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. We don't know. There's a lot that we are paying attention to and watching. Obviously, if anything breaks in the midst of this show, we will move to it immediately. Uh, We've got stories we have to hit here in the first part of this hour. Then we're gonna bring in Brandon Herrera, who's running for Congress in Texas at the middle of this hour. Then we have Pastor John Onmuchuku, Mikey McCoy. We're gonna be doing to ask US anything Fridays, so you can call in join US members dot Charliekirk dot com, members dot Charliekirk dot com if you want to take part in that and actually ask questions on the air. But first, let's just go over what happened yesterday really quick with Hillary Clinton. She was actually in New York testifying before James Comer's Committee about Epstein. Everything seems to be about Epstein yesterday. We talked a lot about it, debunking the NPR bombshell, which needed to be done. I noticed that a lot of news more you know, let's just say, broadcast news from primetime did that last night as well, following our lead. So I was glad to see that. But here here's what I will say. Hillary Clinton basically through presidentident Clinton under the bus yesterday. 00:03:03 Speaker 5: So if you really have specific questions about the Clinton Global Initiative or the relationship between the Clintons and Jeffrey Epstein and Gaalaint Maxwell, you got to ask Bill Clinton. And that's a great point. The number of times that she said I don't know, you'll have to ask my husband was was, you know, more than a dozen? 00:03:22 Speaker 2: Yeah? 00:03:23 Speaker 3: So basically, for us, do you want to know the state of the Clinton marriage. That was probably a very good telly. So Bill Clinton has now come out with his statement. He said, good morning, Welcome to Chappaqua. I guess I'm here today for two reasons. The first is that I love my country, and America was built upon the idea that no person is above the law, even presidents, especially presidents. Democracy requires every person to play their part. Blah blah blah. The second reason I'm here is that girls and women whose lives Jeffrey Epstein destroyed deserve not only justice but healing. They've been waiting too long for both. Though my brief acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his brief acquaintance, before his crimes came to light, and though I never witnessed during our limited interactions in indication of what was truly going on, I'm here to offer what little I know so that I might prevent anything like this from r happening against But. 00:04:17 Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think Bill Clinton is there because he loves his country. I think he's there because he loves young women, as we know with Bill Clinton. 00:04:26 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then he kind of goes on, you know, he's just saying I had you know, I had no idea the crimes Epstein was committing. I know what I saw, I know what I didn't As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane. If I had any inkling of what he was doing, I would have turned him in myself. All Right, So that's gonna be the tone today from Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton's got a lot of splaining to do, lots of lots of splain in to do. Uh. We want to then transition over to this story. So we're gonna watch that again. It's behind closed doors. Maybe there'll be a leaked leaked photo today, maybe last we'll see, we'll see. But the headline from the New York Times, Yes. 00:05:11 Speaker 4: This is so. Sometimes Charlie would like to take a step back and focus on those big picture cultural issues. And I think this is a great example of it. If you open New York Times dot com at this moment, their lead story is not a round, it's not obscene. It's the American birth rate is plunging. Here's why some say that's a good thing. The political class is worried about the historic drop. But the biggest change is among the youngest women, who are the least ready to have children. It's entirely embracing the culture like it's called the culture of death, the culture of decline, the culture of no future. Because this article comes out simultaneously with another headline, and we'll talk about both. We have a story out of Canada with UH. It was a report from the It was like the data chief of the Medical Assistance in Dying program for the province of Ontario, that's the largest province in Canada in twenty twenty three. So it's even worse now. In twenty twenty three, sixty five people were able to kill themselves with the Medical Assistance in Dying program on the same day they applied for it exactly. 00:06:20 Speaker 3: So that's the big news. They get killed the same day that they applied apply to suicide. 00:06:25 Speaker 4: We just and get it the same day. 00:06:26 Speaker 3: Can we just stop on this acronym of made medical assistance in dying. It's euthanasia, it's suicide, and the Canadian government we've known this for a while, but this is what was crazy. Did you know that over five percent of deaths of all deaths in twenty twenty four in Canada were made deaths. That's again assisted suicide, and they call it healthcare. Now what's also very creepy is there was a horrific case. The name only name we have for this is missus B who's tried to withdraw her made request and it was overridden by family. So she didn't want to die. She changed her mind. She cited religious convictions and values for why she changed her mind, and then they did it anyways and they killed her. So that is a death cult. When somebody who wants to live is unable to live because the doctors and a family member basically murdered her, that's what that is. That's murder. It's not suicide. That's murder, murdactly, no, it is. 00:07:40 Speaker 4: And these issues are so innately linked together, this desire to have no children, this desire to perpetuate adolescence, and then simultaneously at the end of life, to RUSSI into suicide. Every horror story about assisted suicide that exists has already happened, where people are pressured by family members into killing themselves because they're tired of taking care of them, Where supposed healthcare workers are pressuring someone into suicide rather than providing them actual treatment for what they want. There are cases where people who are suffering from disabilities where they're basically told, yeah, we can't actually supply you with any normal treatments, but you know, there's suicide if you want that, if you're feeling depressed about things, and they're endlessly expanding it. They're expanding it to teenagers, they're expanding it to people who only have psychological distress, and I suspect inevitably they'll extend it to using it involuntarily on people that they decide are not worth treating in a way. 00:08:43 Speaker 3: And that is another story. There's an image of this New York Post has an image of this twenty six year old that was killed because I guess he had mental illness and they killed him. He had mental illness, so instead of dealing with the mental illness, they killed him. Tell me that that makes any sense. His name was, by the way, I want to get his name, keano Va Faiani's parents, and his parents accused authorities of failing to protect their son, who was euthanized at twenty six despite a history of mental illness. If we can put his picture up, I think that would be important. Death cult. I don't think any country will be blessed for embracing such despicable, disgusting ideas. I want to show this picture. This is the guy throwed up six point thirty one. This is a just a terrible story. Keano va Fayene accused authorities of failing to protect their vulnerable son, the parents of him, who was able to end his life with assisted suicide despite a history of mental illness. They say that Va Fayenne had seasonal depression, suffered from type one diabetes, and lost vision in one eye when he died last December, so they just killed him. Here's what's very terrifying is Governor Kathy Hokeel in December said that she would sign a law medical Aid and Dying, a bill giving state sanctioned to doctors in New York helping terminally ill patience. 00:10:17 Speaker 4: In their lives. It's such a dark thing, like we always sympathize with people who are dying, but every incentive that legalizing assisted suicide creates is so profoundly negative for me. You're giving extra power to people who I'll be frank are often already inclined to feel they have god like power over individuals. We again, already have cases in other countries, And I said, think in this country, but certainly in others where doctors decide, I don't think this person's life is worth living, so I'm going to push suicide on them. I think that's the best outcome for them. Once you are creating a system where the medical where the group people who are supposed to treat illness have killed this person as a treatment. Shockingly, they decide in a lot of cases, killing this person is easier than trying to cure them or help them. 00:11:06 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, and again, when they first passed this law, it was bad enough, but they mandated a minimum ten day weight period. Now people are getting killed on the same day. Uh. Here's Charlie talking about medical assistance in death six s. 00:11:24 Speaker 1: The biggest innovation in Canada right now is they become the most famously pro suicide country in the world. 00:11:30 Speaker 4: Not a joke. 00:11:31 Speaker 1: They have long wait for medical procedures, mass proliferation of drug usage, except, of course, if you want to be able to use suicide, suicidal drugs or suicide pods. They call it made m ai D Medical Assistance in dying. 00:11:52 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty gross. And here's here's the sad part of this. You have a bunch of people that are sucking up resource, Like if you have socialized medicine, this is how you look at it. They're consuming resources. They are either terminally ill or they want to die, and they're ready to die, and so why not just help them do it earlier because guess what, you'll save some money, you'll save some resources. That I'm not saying that that is the major driving force. I think they've convinced themselves that this is compassion and this is healthcare, but you better believe it's at least one of them. Most It's sort of two. 00:12:28 Speaker 4: Things at once. It's one on the one hand, viewing people from the eyes of the state as purely like resource consumers who can be optimized out of things like this person's at the end of their life. They are useless, discard them. And on the individual level, seeing life only as basically a hedonic exercise. So my life is not very enjoyable at this point, so I should just snuff it out at this moment. And that's why it does relate so directly to the children question as well, because the same impulses that cause people to avoid having children to actively reject it, which the New York Times is celebrating, are the same impulses that drive them to kill themselves when their lives are painful towards the end. And I think Charlie observed that as well. We have a good clip of him just talking about the attitude towards children. Let's do six twenty two. 00:13:19 Speaker 1: Kids are largely presented as a burden, not a blessing. The people that live the most joyful and deepest lives tend to have kids, and then a lot of kids that their lives are harder, their lives are crazier, they're less about themselves, but they're deeper and more fulfilling. 00:13:37 Speaker 3: So here's the New York Times bottom line. They say that over half of women. So they celebrate it because their main point is that there's less sort of teenage pregnancies. Okay, that's their top line. But their top line is that now over half of thirty year old women, almost half are childless. In nineteen seventy six that was just eighteen percent. So at three house old, just eighteen percent of women were in the America were childless. 00:14:09 Speaker 4: And they have these quotes like Hope Beshevr is one of these women, she has a deep ambivalence about having children. She wants control over her life after acotic childhood. When she was thirteen, she had to care for her younger brothers two and four, and while her father, a corrections officer, worked. Sometimes I picture having a kid, and I think of that overload. Two kids, both in diapers. Now thirty, she is happily married and living in Denver. She works at a gym and says she is selfish with her time, and then she says, my husband and I we like our peace. 00:14:39 Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay, so this is all garbage, but I'll let you go off on that. Yeah, this is all garbage. So throw up that graph again. They actually put the graph up a little early. This is young married moms are the happiest. This is from the General Social Survey from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty four. Married moms forty percent. This is between ages twenty two and thirty five that are very happy. Married moms forty one percent, by far the highs married and childless. Also the next ties. Look who is very unhappy? Unmarried moms and unmarried childless. Okay, those are the groups, the cohorts that are not happy if you are a woman and your goal is to live a fulfilling life and a productive life and a happy life, guess what. The odds are very much more in your favor to be happy and fulfilled if you are married with children, or if you are married and you don't have children. 00:15:31 Speaker 4: But that's Tearly would point out. It's not even just about oh, your raw hedonic happiness. Life is not about pleasure. Life is about fulfilling duties as well. 00:15:40 Speaker 3: And well, but won't you will be happier. It will be happier in duty and you're pursuing in the long run, you will. But it's also just you have to say yes to your life is not oh, I'm just going to have fun and do whatever I feel like and have no obliations. You increase the meaning and importance of your life when you embrace obligations to other people, as Charlie would say, obligations to God, obligations to a spouse, and yes, obligations to the children you and your spouse have together. 00:16:10 Speaker 4: And it's a very bleak sign for our civilization. If the New York Times is running out with this headline that just says, actually, everyone deciding to not have kids is a good thing. And yeah, maybe a half century from now, no one will be around anymore. By the way, that's not our problem. We'll have killed ourselves. 00:16:24 Speaker 3: We'll just import a bunch of foreigners. We'll replace you. Imagine being a young woman just finding out that you're pregnant, not knowing where to go or what to do, not even knowing exactly what is going on in your body, while the whole world tells her it's just a clump of cells. You and I we both know the truth. We know it is a baby. And once she has an ultrasound that you provide and she sees the truth of the baby growing inside of her, you help her choose life. When you join us in providing ultrasounds with preborn and she sees her baby and here's her baby's heartbeat, you will double the likelihood that she will choose life. And one hundred percent of what you give goes to providing ultrasounds one hundred percent preborn separately fundraises for administrative costs two hundred and eighty dollars can save ten babies. Twenty eight dollars a month can save a baby a month all year long, and a fifteen thousand dollars gift. I know there's some of you out there that can afford this fifteen thousand dollars gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come. Call eight three three eight five zero two two two nine or click on the preborn banner at Charliekirk dot com. Today again, that's eight three three eight five zero two two two nine, or click on the preborn banner at Charliekirk dot com. I am thrilled. I'm stoked to have our next guest on the show. I've been following him closely and watching his race from Afar. Actually this will be the second time, and that's Brandon Herrera. Uh. He is running for Congress in Texas. Texas is twenty third and it's made the news quite a bit. Brandon, Welcome to the show. It's your first time. We're honored to have you. How's it going, brother. 00:18:09 Speaker 4: That is the armory you've got behind you. 00:18:14 Speaker 2: Just wait till you see the other gun roads. Much good questions? 00:18:17 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. 00:18:18 Speaker 3: You know guys, some guys they have you know, they have book collections. Other guys have ye collections, and then there's then there's this that's impressive. 00:18:27 Speaker 4: So just to tell people that is what you're known for. You're not just pilamp a lot Era. What's the name of your. 00:18:33 Speaker 2: Channel, So the channel is just my name is just Brandon Herrera. 00:18:36 Speaker 6: So I've used that over the last few years to well, not only just have fun with friends and blow stuff up on the internet, which is, you know, it's my dream job, but also to kind of use that platform to teach people about firearm history, firearm engineering design, and usually that's a nice gateway drug into the importance of the Second Amendment and the importance of the Constitution. 00:18:54 Speaker 4: You can tell that Brandon is entirely committed to the public interest because they're there's no other reason you would possibly step away from blowing stuff up on the Internet to try to enter Congress. 00:19:05 Speaker 3: Right, you already have the dream job, Brandon, What the heck are you doing running for Congress? So your race has garnered national headlines in a big way. I've always been a fan of yours, even when you were running last time, and genuinely, and listen, you're going up against Tony Gonzalez and he's come into some scrutiny. Why don't you tell the story from your perspective of what's going on and why you think you would be better for sure. 00:19:35 Speaker 6: Well, So when I initially decided to run last time, I just had an issue with Tony's voting record. I think he's a rhino. He voted to imprison President Trump. He voted against the Second Amendment for a Democrat gun control bill. He voted against the Fourth Amendment with wireless surveillance of American citizens, voted against border policy, which is crazy in the biggest border district in the entire country here in District twenty three. 00:19:58 Speaker 2: So I just had an. 00:19:59 Speaker 6: Issue with with his vote record, and that's an issue that continued. I hope when we lost the last election. We lost it in a runoff because he got got below fifty percent in the primary. He lost it in a runoff by about four hundred votes after outspending US ten to one. 00:20:16 Speaker 2: So I figured that that would be a message. 00:20:17 Speaker 6: That hey, maybe you need to fix your behavior, and unfortunately it just didn't go through. So I jumped into the race a second time, and very shortly after, you know, the rumblings of this the scandal, the affair, and everything started to hit, and just this last few weeks it seems like the damn finally burst and people are finding out the truth about the kind of person that Tony Gonzalez is and why he needs to be replaced. 00:20:39 Speaker 3: So the details of this case, I don't want to be sillacious. I don't want to hurl unfounded accusations, you know, I would just want to be respectful because a woman did take her life in this in this instant. Would would you walk us through what you know to be true? 00:20:58 Speaker 1: Sure? 00:20:59 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. 00:20:59 Speaker 6: And and you know a lot of people still say, you know this is alleged, these are allegations. I'm not even willing to do that at this point because in my mind, from what I've seen and what I've seen proven, this is one hundred percent fact. Actually, during the last election, during the runoff election, probably like I think maybe twenty to thirty days out from the runoff against me, he engaged in predatory sexual behavior with a married female staffer. Him of course, being a married father of six, this is completely unacceptable behavior, especially with a subordinate. But the text messages have been released now at this point where he was pressuring a staffer into a sexual relationship, and then you know, the husband found out about it. It was a big ordeal, and one thing led to another and need essentially wrecked the home to the point where on September thirteenth of last year, she committed suicide via self immolation. And it was pretty much under the rug. He tried to bury it. He would avoid journalists like the plague. He would run away from journalists, banned media from all of his events, and wouldn't deny it until a couple months later when no evidence came forward, no hard evidence. Then he went to a journalist and said, oh, yeah, all of these rumors are untruthful, I believe is what he said, and just kind of swept it away and denied it. 00:22:22 Speaker 2: And of course we knew that wasn't true. 00:22:24 Speaker 6: There's a lot of people, former staffers that were coming forward that were trying to say, hey, we know this is a lie, but nobody would go on the record until about a month ago when a staffer, a former staffer of his that worked with Regina Santos Evgulez, the staffer who killed herself, a staffer that worked with her very closely, came forward and he had text message receipts from Regina referencing the affair. He had personal allegories of accidentally facilitating extramaritab behavior with their family cabin between Regina and Tony, and then Tony me then smeared me and the staffer, saying, how dare I give a disgruntled former staffer a platform? 00:23:06 Speaker 2: Which I didn't. He went to the media. I didn't facilitate that at all. 00:23:10 Speaker 3: He didn't. 00:23:11 Speaker 2: I didn't. 00:23:12 Speaker 6: I didn't say a word about it until after everything came out to the media. So it wasn't me giving a platform. He voluntarily went to media. But of course it's my fault that he engages in. 00:23:21 Speaker 2: The sort of behavior. 00:23:23 Speaker 6: And then after that, after his denial, the husband came forward with verified, forensically a forensically proven text messages from Regina and Tony. And then now Tony's been caught in a lie, and I think his whole world's falling. 00:23:37 Speaker 4: Apart and is speaking of accusations, I know in the past he's called you both an anarchist and a neo Nazi. Those seem contradictory accusations to me. Has he ever apologized for any of those attacks? 00:23:51 Speaker 2: No, No, he still hasn't. 00:23:52 Speaker 6: I was called a a neo Nazi, a clan member, an anarchist, and a California you lover in the same campaign California Loving Liberal, which is funny because he took a clip out of context from a podcast where I had said, he clipped it where I said, California might be my favorite state in the country, and you just clipped that. 00:24:15 Speaker 2: The full sentence was talking. 00:24:17 Speaker 6: About how beautiful California beaches were. I said, you know, California might be my favorite state in the country if everybody who lived there didn't. 00:24:25 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure, well, Charlie loved. I actually wrote an op ed for the California Post that ran on Sunday talking about how when I'd land in California with Charlie, he'd always go, this state is so beautiful. It's a shame what they did to it. Every time he would say something along those lines. All right, So okay, let's get that story aside. It's horrible. By the way, I actually somehow missed the self immolation part of that story. And I have to just say this out loud. I obviously extramarital affairs are awful on their face. To do it in a way in which you might have been using funding or abusing the office or whatever. It is also terrible. I just want to say it sounds like if somebody's gonna do that self immolate, then I got to believe there's underlying stuff there with that person. I just want to say that out loud, because you can't put that all on on an affair in my opinion, But again, I don't know the details, it wasn't there, but that that strikes me as somebody with deeply serious mental problems or or something. I don't know, but. 00:25:34 Speaker 2: Sure, and none of us could not know the full situation at this point. 00:25:37 Speaker 6: The only person that could break this down objectively or give us the full story is no longer with us. But one thing I can say pretty confidently is that the affair and then all of the consequences of it were one. The domino that started everything cascading got it. Apparently in order to cover it up, he was then kind of blacklisted her and kind of pushed her out of the job, so she lost the two things that. 00:26:06 Speaker 2: She cared about because of this affair. And that's right. 00:26:09 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it's awful story. Yeah, Brandon it's just an awful story. Thanks for walking us through it. So what what's your vision for Texas? What's your vision as a congressman? 00:26:18 Speaker 6: For sure, Well, there's a lot of things, especially they're specific to this district. So District twenty three goes for all the way from the west side of San Antonio to the east side of El Paso and everything in between. It's the biggest district in Texas and it's the biggest border district in the country, and so we need somebody who's going to be firm on the border. 00:26:35 Speaker 3: Now. 00:26:35 Speaker 6: President Trump has done quite a lot to help solve the the Biden border crisis. It's night and day compared to where it was two three years ago. 00:26:42 Speaker 2: But a lot of that stuff needs to be codified. 00:26:45 Speaker 6: We need to make sure the legislature actually passes bills that protect us because you know, I hope we get eight years of JD. 00:26:52 Speaker 2: Evans after Trump is over. 00:26:54 Speaker 6: But you know what, the truth is, one of these days we will have another Democrat in office. And if it was one stroke of a pen from President Trump to fix these things, it's one stroke of a pen away from being undone. And we cannot afford that. 00:27:05 Speaker 2: As a country. 00:27:07 Speaker 3: Yeah, one minute left, Brandon, How can people support you, get behind you? And what's the timeline right now for this race. 00:27:16 Speaker 6: Well, it's the last day of early voting here in Texas and the actual election itself is on March third. So the biggest thing is get out and vote. Turnout is going to be everything. It's the only way we're going to beat the Democrats in November, and it's the number one way that we're going to get people like Tony out of office in the primaries here. So if you want to check out the campaign, it's Brandon perihrocongress dot com. But if you're out in Texas District twenty three, I would be honored to have your vote and give West Texas the conservative voice it deserves. 00:27:41 Speaker 3: Well, man, keep keep up the good work. You have been making waves. Like I said, I've been watching you from afar for you know, the in the first race, and you you Darner puoled that thing off too. I mean, you darn there did, and which is which is a huge undertaking to take out an incumbent. It just is. It's a huge deal. So I think I think this is gonna be your year. And we're watching uh you know, and keep shooting and blowing stuff up. Don't ever stop, you know what I mean. 00:28:08 Speaker 2: I appreciate it, brother, All right, Brad, thank you guys so. 00:28:10 Speaker 3: Much for having you brother. Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you about my friends over at why Refi. You've probably been hearing me talk about y Refi for some time. 00:28:22 Speaker 5: Now. 00:28:22 Speaker 3: We are all in with these guys.

Just go to wyrefi dot com and tell them your friend Andrews sent you big breaker this morning. It actually it struck close to the heart of this show because Charlie, as many of you know, was an Eagle Scout, a proud Eagle Scout until they went woke and they went to press all the way it all the way woke. Did you know that eleven of the twelve astronauts who walked on the Moon were Eagle Scouts. 00:29:35 Speaker 4: I didn't know the exactly I knew Armstrong. 00:29:38 Speaker 3: Was, Yeah, eleven of the twelve. So this was an institution in the country that trained young men in the way they should go. It actually honored God. It told them to honor God. 00:29:49 Speaker 4: It could not be an atheist and be a boy Scout and good standing. 00:29:52 Speaker 3: Yeah, so this was and it gave them obviously outdoor skills and so much more character building. And then what did they do. They went woke. They did the DII thing. They actually changed their name from Boy Scouts to Scouts of America because why they like, now you have the leaden girls. Now there's actually really important psychology behind why that's bad. You need male only in institutions of courses and why Because imagine a guy, a young boy in front of a bunch of other boys is going to try and fail and embarrass himself way more readily than if you put a bunch of girls in front of him. If the girls are watching, he's not gonna want to make a fool of himself. Well, he's not gonna want to do a bunch of stuff. 00:30:35 Speaker 4: When you take teenage boys and you insert women in there, instantly everything becomes about their relations like with those women, and they become much more likely to compete with each other rather than to cooperate with each other. Tons of psychological stuff goes into this. 00:30:50 Speaker 3: Actually charge, I didn't realize, Charlie. There's an old clip at Charlie. He's made my point. I just made six oh three. 00:30:56 Speaker 1: When I was thirteen years old and I was worrying about climbing a rock or starting a fire. If there were young ladies around, I would not have been climbing a rock or starting a fire. I would have been much distracted and talking, trying to make you know, trying to make myself more socially acceptable, and so and so forth. There's a lot of character development that happens between those critical ages and being around other young men that are going through the same problems and failing and taking risks, I think is something that has made the Boy Scouts so successful. And it's also those people that have studied gender exclusive education goes to show the exact same thing. Is that focus, attention to detail, especially amongst those critical ages, is something that we should not sacrifice or remove from. 00:31:35 Speaker 4: So that's a throwba when I was thirteen year old, he looked through I know, that is classic Charlie totally. 00:31:42 Speaker 3: Yeah, he was right on target, but you could tell he was younger. It was great. So the big news this morning is that Pete heg Seth. Because you got to understand, the Boy Scouts and the Secretary of War are the Department of War. There's been a long running sort of kind of collaborate, you know. They that's the pipeline for they. 00:32:02 Speaker 4: Would do the Scout Jamboree and it would be on a military base and there always be a lot. 00:32:06 Speaker 3: Of time they meet on military basis. So Pete Hexath gets in there and this was actually something that he told me about before he was even in He that this was something that he wanted to focus on and fix and he has News. 00:32:18 Speaker 7: This morning six oh one, Scouting America agreed to make several key reforms. First, no more DEI zero. Scouting America will modify its policy to make clear that membership will be based solely on biological sex at birth and not gender identity. Scouting will also make clear that biological boys and girls will not be allowed to occupy or share intimate spaces together toilet, showers, tents, anywhere like that. Scouting America will honor those who serve by waiving the registration fees for children of active duty Guard and Reserve families. In partnership with the War Department, Scouting America will introduce a new military service merit badge. These and other changes that Scouting America's leadership admitted to will hopefully result in a rededication to the foundational ideals that have defined Scouting for generations. Duty to God and country, leadership, character and service. 00:33:12 Speaker 4: It's it's so sad to read about it. I'm noting in the Department of Wars announcement on this that membership dropped from there were ten million boys participating in the Boys in just the Boy Scouts. Only boys allowed in nineteen seventy and that's with a significantly smaller population, maybe a similar number of children of Scouting age less than one million participating in twenty twenty six, and that's a big crush. Even a few years ago there was so much more. The Mormon Church was very involved in Scouts. They broke away because they started admitting girls, and I know a lot of other churches broke away. 00:33:46 Speaker 3: That's the problem, the only problem I will say. I mean, this is great work from Secretary of Hegseth, a massive improvement, there's no doubt. But the real underlying issue here is that girls should do their own thing. This is why we have Girl Scouts. Should be girl Scouts, and there should be boy Scouts. 00:34:02 Speaker 4: Yes, And it's so sad to follow the decline of the Boy Scouts because it really, in my opinion, is it's such a charter of the decline of America. When you look at Boy Scouts values as they were articulate even when I was in it, just you know, twenty years ago. It was such a perfect distillation of what you'd say are classic American values, like you should clearly be feist and let's be frank. It's a very generally kind of Judeo Christian outlook towards the world, even if other religions are allowed in. It's like American civic Christianity, when there was just a sort of default. Oh yeah, like this is a Christian country and it has Christian values, and that's what it embodied, along with serving your country all this pro citizenship stuff and learn useful skills. We had an organization that tens of millions of boys went through that just taught you to love God, love your country, and learn to learn how to do useful things, learn to be a man. And they deliberately destroyed it over the course of decades precisely because it was something so good and so beautiful. 00:35:00 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's there. There is a tendency in Western culture where the parasites, the horde of wokies or whatever, and the liberal malaise will attack healthy hosts. And they do that because they're good. And you have to have a backbone. You have to have strength of your own convictions, the courage of your own convictions to stop the onslaught. You have to be able to defend the good, the true, the beautiful. You cannot let the horde of vipers and wokies in our era take down what is good. Ultimately, we have to be men, strong men willing to defend those institutions, and yes, women need to defend them as well. But candidly, we're talking about boy scouts. You need to raise up strong men. I am telling you there is no more more effective, powerful force on the planet than a well formed, matured, fully functional, intelligent, self assured male man. That is a power source for Western civilization that cannot be defeated. And so there will be all kinds of assaults against the development of young men into fully grown, fully matured men. It just will be. And we have to protect the formation of men. It's one of the critical duties of this show. It's one of the critical duties of Turning Point. Yes we care about the women, yes, of course, But I'm telling you young men, fully formed, fully ready to take on the challenges of this generation and the next and the next after that. If we have those men, western civilization will not only survive, it will thrive. That's why there's always an attack against them. So we must defend the men. Charlie knew this. We know this still. Hopefully you out in the audience know it as well. 00:36:58 Speaker 4: For more on many of these stories and new who you can trust. Go to charlikirk dot com
