Democrats Control Election Plumbing

| Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk show, what's going on in Chicago with a Turning Point USA chapter that has been publicly blocked and the Chicago police are investigating one of their own? | |
| A very bizarre story. | |
| Also, Biden triples down on quote-unquote voting rights, making our prediction correct. | |
| Very important story, that and so much more. | |

| Many stories I want to get to today, but I'm going to reinforce kind of a theme that we've established here in this program. | |
| And we were one of the first shows to talk about this. | |
| And it's how there is this massive pivot that was happening in the shadows between Biden's Build Back Better plan that was quote unquote defeated, allegedly, and a replacement that has just suddenly swept into focus. | |
| Now, we went into great detail in a previous dialogue where we think that this was all a game, that they had the plan all along to try and insert a fake compromise around alleged voting rights while the Build Back Better Green New Deal $3.5 trillion spending package was going to be quote unquote defeated. | |
| We said this a couple days ago, and we were ahead of the curve as Schumer came and said via Jesse Rodriguez and NBC News that this was going to happen. | |
| Joe Biden yesterday went to South Carolina. | |
| Headline from CNN: Biden pledges to keep up the fight on voting rights as Republicans block legislation. | |
| President Joe Biden on Friday pledged to keep up the fight to pass voting rights legislation that remained stalled in Congress due to the Republican opposition. | |
| Biden said, quote, I've never seen anything like the unrelenting assault on the right to vote. | |
| Never. | |
| The president urged Congress to pass two Democrat-sponsored bills, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which we talked about yesterday, which would create the Justice Department to become the final quote-unquote approval mechanism on all voting reforms. | |
| So all the energy that we've seen towards audits, towards trying to get to the bottom of elections, would be stopped by the Biden Justice Department and the Freedom to Vote Act, which we'll go into detail. | |
| And of course, CNN writes that the Senate Republicans have blocked both. | |
| The two bills are aimed at fighting voter suppression. | |
| Let me just stop there. | |
| This idea, this incantation of saying that somehow voters are being suppressed, that there is a voter suppression effort, is total and complete gaslighting. | |
| It's the opposite, that is the truth. | |
| It is easier to vote in America than ever before. | |
| In fact, it is easier to vote in America than most Western nations. | |
| We have voting months in most states. | |
| If you are not voting in most states, then that is a choice that you are deliberately driving by polling places, not turning in mail-in ballots that were sent to you, not requesting mail-in ballots. | |
| This idea of voter suppression is an intentional propaganda piece to try and convince moderate and swing voters that somehow something as precious as the right to vote is not equally accessible to all people. | |
| Total nonsense. | |
| Making it easier to register to vote, making Election Day a public holiday, and ensuring states have early voting for federal elections and allow voters to request mail-in ballots among other provisions. | |
| Now, why is it that Biden is focusing on quote-unquote voting reform or voter rights legislation? | |
| Well, the largest reason or the main reason is that this is the issue that touches every other issue. | |
| And we've went through this the entire week. | |
| As the Build Back Better plan in Washington, D.C. obliterates into 3 trillion different pieces. | |
| Now we are seeing what the true agenda is. | |
| That if they are able to pass the John Wrights Voting Rights Act and or the Freedom to Vote Act, they'll be able to pass a Build Back Better bill every single year. | |
| What they want to get at is the mechanism of how we actually are able to put people in power. | |
| Democrats want to control the plumbing of elections. | |
| And I put plumbing in quotes, meaning they want to control the infrastructure of actually the flow of ballots, the flow of votes. | |
| They want to have a final say over who actually gets to control the Speaker of the House, who gets to control the Senate. | |
| So instead of actually trying to persuade voters, instead of allowing the states to figure out how to do elections, which it says very clearly in Article 1 of the Constitution, Democrats are basically admitting that they're not going to be able to persuade voters based on inflation, open borders, or any of these other, obviously, very, very important issues. | |
| But instead, they want to get down to the actual technical details of how the election itself is conducted. | |
| Now, we know, and we've seen this in a variety of different ways, that with mass mail and voting, with widespread voter registration irregularities, all of a sudden you see late-night vote dumps and you see a breaking of the actual process of how fair, free elections and secure elections occur. | |
| And let's be very clear. | |
| We know that presidents in the past have been elected thanks to voter fraud. | |
| It is the worst kept secret in American politics that John F. Kennedy in 1960 beat Richard Nixon thanks to Mayor Daly's late-night vote dumps in Chicago. | |
| We know that. | |
| We know that Lyndon Baines Johnson, thanks to Joe Davis County. | |
| We know that when the actual process of the voting, the expansion of how ballots are counted, the lack of integrity around it, then all of a sudden the faith that people have in our elections and then our elected leaders then plummet. | |
| Let's go to Cut 87 if we can. | |
| ABC report on how the filibuster has been blocking the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. | |
| Play cut 87, please. | |
| Okay. | |
| Meanwhile, Terry, the president seems to be pivoting towards voting rights. | |
| Oh, that's going to be very hard, George. | |
| He did say yesterday, and this is a sign from him. | |
| He said there's nothing domestically more important than voting rights, and he wants to put that now at the front of the agenda. | |
| The problem is the filibuster. | |
| He needs 60 votes in the Senate to get it done. | |
| And once again, Senator Joe Manson and Senator Kristen Sinema of Arizona, they have made clear they are not going to change the filibuster. | |
| So it looks like right across the board, the president's agenda is stuck. | |
| Do not let your guard down. | |
| I know it feels like a victory on voting rights based on that report. | |
| There instead, I think there is going to try to be a massive bargain where they bring Manchin and Cinema to the table on quote-unquote voting rights legislation. | |
| Instead of worrying about the fluctuations of power, instead of worrying about the ebb and the flow of Republicans in charge and Democrats in charge, Democrats want to create the country of California where Democrats control everything and Democrat primaries are basically how people vote and get their message out. | |
| That even no matter how bad the governor of California is, Gavin Nussalini, no matter how awful his policies are, no matter how the erosion of the once great state of California is, it really kind of comes down to the Democrat primary to determine the allocation of political control for statewide elections in California. | |
| Do you notice, though, that the ABC News report says exactly what we said, that Biden is now pivoting towards this? | |
| I think the pivot was planned all along. | |
| The pivot was planned because they know the polling with the $3 trillion bill is abysmal. | |
| The polling with the open border policies are abysmal. | |
| But the polling when it comes to actually quote unquote protecting our democracy, because that sounds so innocent, it sounds so good, is actually something they might be able to digest. | |

Sports As COVID Learning Force

|
| We cannot let our guard down, everybody. | |
| John Tester in Montana, Kirsten Sinema in Arizona, Raphael Warnock in Georgia, Joe Manchin in West Virginia, Cortez Mastro in Nevada. | |
| All of them need to keep, we need to keep the pressure on all of them, contact all of them and say we will not tolerate a federal takeover of elections or a new commissar board of Department of Justice that gets to approve who actually does these elections. | |
| And the reason why we are leading with the story today is that it continues this narrative of the great pivot, that if you were not watching the news every single night and really analyzing this, you'd say, I don't really know what's going on. | |
| What's going on is one of the most dangerous, unprecedented changing of how we actually allocate power in American political history. | |

| So there's an issue happening right now in professional sports, and I'm in a group chat with some buddies that I grew up with. | |
| It's not a political chat. | |
| Now, they're all right-wingers. | |
| They're great. | |
| But it's actually kind of one chance I get to actually talk about sports. | |
| And again, I'm like, I boycott sports, but I watch it. | |
| It's complicated. | |
| I do love college football, though. | |
| And they all text me. | |
| I'm going to read this text. | |
| And again, these are just normal, good Midwestern guys. | |
| And they, because now what's really interesting is this group text I had between, it's just me and three other guys. | |
| I always kind of talk about Chicago sports and sharing our miseries of how Chicago is never going to win a Super Bowl or whatever. | |
| And I talk about Oregon football because I'm obviously big into that. | |
| But it's kind of funny because we've always kind of wanted the script chat to be focused on sports, but now it's kind of had to become because of politics and science or whatever, science or the medical industrial complex. | |
| And so one of my buddies texted me here. | |
| He said out of nowhere, he said, really hope we don't go through the insanity of canceling and postponing games again for this winter and spring. | |
| Need decision makers to push this nonsense. | |
| I say, what are you talking about? | |
| NFL, NBA, and hockey. | |
| And so then I looked it up. | |
| 20 Browns players tested positive and 9 to 10 Rams players. | |
| Now, then I went and I saw the story on theblaze.com. | |
| Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield lashed out at the NFL over the league's Chinese coronavirus protocols after 19 players were placed on the COVID-19 list ahead of the important games that will determine their standing in the playoffs. | |
| Mayfield fired off a series of tweets criticizing the protocols. | |
| Quote, NFL, make up your mind on the protocols. | |
| Showing up and making only three teams test. | |
| Also, you can keep the games scheduled to make money. | |
| And this is true. | |
| So what's happening in the NFL is because the vaccine is not working as they told it was, obviously. | |
| 100% vaccinated leagues are now having massive outbreaks. | |
| They're not even testing every single team because they know if they tested every single team, the league would completely fall apart. | |
| So instead of actually caring about natural immunity, early intervention, or therapeutics, they're testing teams rather selectively. | |
| So Baker Mayfield will now miss the Browns game against the Las Vegas Raiders. | |
| Now, do you remember when Aaron Rodgers got tested positive for the Fauci virus and everyone condemned him because he was unvaccinated? | |
| But now other people who are fully vaccinated are testing positive and the media doesn't cover the fact that the vaccine's not protecting them. | |
| The amount of players that are testing positive in all sports, the Chicago Bulls have 10 players out. | |
| There are 34 players currently in the National Basketball Association that have currently tested positive and are out right now. | |
| The Federalist has a really interesting article that says that sports could be a major force for learning to live with COVID. | |
| Now, we've been saying this for quite some time, that early intervention and treatment always should have been the case, that especially for these professional athletes, vaccinating professional athletes with a highly questionable mRNA gene gene sequencing vaccine. | |
| It should have been a timeout. | |
| Are these people actually at significant risk? | |
| Even LeBron James, fully vaccinated LeBron James, came down and tested positive with COVID. | |
| Now, who are the ones that are actually sowing vaccine skepticism? | |
| Are the ones that are actually the ones asking questions like us? | |
| Or the ones that are getting vaccinated and then end up getting tested fully positive after they get fully vaccinated? | |
| The article continues. | |
| The NFL, the National Football League, is facing a challenging outbreak of coronavirus among players in the 15th week of the season. | |
| The Chicago Bears had 10 players on the list, and the Washington football team, because they got rid of the Redskins, political incorrect, politically correct nonsense going wrong, has 20 players on the list. | |
| There are 75 players who've received positive coronavirus tests over the last two days, compared to 110 player positives in the entire three months of the season. | |
| So what we're seeing here is professional sports went all in on the Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson Johnson, and AstraZeneca agenda, and now they are having to live under the penalty of their own regime. | |
| And by the way, we're fortunate that we're not seeing players collapse on the field or the court like they are in Europe in other. | |
| We're going to talk a little bit about that. | |
| We've talked about that on the show, but we're going to kind of incorporate all that together. | |
| And by the way, we shouldn't be surprised. | |
| Do you look at Gibraltar? | |
| You look at the 100% vaccinated military ship that we covered early on the show, thanks to a friend from Chicago who sent me that story. | |
| The 100% vaccinated environments, even when they're totally quarantined and they don't come in contact with other people, they're still seeing a very disturbing velocity of COVID-19. | |
| And yet, so now we ask ourselves the question: why are we not, we are still not allowed to have a conversation on zika, zithromycin, qcertin, vitamin D, vitamin C, or early intervention. | |
| Don't take people's football away. | |
| They're not going to be happy. | |
| Christmas is here, everybody. | |

| Front page of the Chicago Sun-Times: right-wing group's attempt to open at Chicago High School rejected. | |
| After talk of starting a Turning Point USA chapter at Taft High School, the school's principal said that they will never tolerate student groups that go against the school's values. | |
| Chicago Sun-Times writes that administrators at Chicago Public Schools High School have shot down an attempt by a right-wing group to form a chapter on the Northwest campus of quote, an organization promoting racial intolerance. | |
| Wonder who he's talking about. | |
| Meanwhile, Chicago police said they're investigating a social media post by longtime Chicago Police Department sergeant that praised the efforts for the students trying to start the group Turning Point USA. | |
| I'll get to that in a second. | |
| Taft High School principal Mark Grishaber or Grishaber said in a letter to the school community earlier this month that he was disturbed by efforts to launch a turning point chapter at Taft High School. | |
| The right-wing organization claims to have a presence on thousands of high schools. | |
| No, we do have presence on thousands of high school and college campuses, including in the Chicago suburbs. | |
| The organization was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk, blah, blah, blah, Avid Trump supporter who considers critical race theory and the concept of white privilege is racist against whites. | |
| It is. | |
| The group's key principles, he says, are rooted in capitalism, U.S. Constitution, and the U.S. is the greatest country in the world. | |
| He grew up in the Northwest suburbs and attended Wheeling High School. | |
| At least they got that part right. | |
| Grashaber said in his note that the group doesn't support diversity and inclusion. | |
| You hear that? | |
| That we don't support diversity and inclusion, and they're the ones that block our group from coming. | |
| We're the ones that are not inclusive. | |
| We're the ones that don't support diversity because we want to have like a group of 10 people at a left-wing high school in downtown Chicago. | |
| He says that Turning Point USA contradicts the school's mission statement to, quote, educate global citizens to create a better world. | |
| Quote, please know that the staff and administration at Taft will never tolerate the formation of any group that doesn't support these values. | |
| No, please, Mr. Grishaber, tell me what we've ever said or ever done at Turning Point USA that is against the values of trying to educate global citizens, create a better world. | |
| Have you ever gone to a Turning Point USA event? | |
| Can you name one thing that we do at our organization? | |
| Promoting racial intolerance. | |
| We're the ones that just did an entire campus tour trying to say that critical race theory is actually incredibly racist and destroying our country from within. | |
| And they're the ones that are saying that we're not inclusive. | |
| At a Taft Local School Council meeting Tuesday night, Grischaber said that student interested in starting the group never filled out a formal application. | |
| They do this all the time. | |
| They do this. | |
| They say, oh, you didn't follow the right protocol. | |
| It's a bunch of X's and O's and nonsense and box checking. | |
| It's tyranny by box checking, is really what it ends up being. | |
| It's like, oh, you didn't check the right boxes. | |
| Like, yeah, but if it was an LGBT, open borders, BLM, non-binary, whatever group, sexual anarchy group, you could totally form at Taft High School against the values of Taft High School. | |
| Continues by saying, Turning Point USA on several occasions has, and this was so funny. | |
| The Chicago Suns actually did a pretty good job of writing this. | |
| It ends in just such a ridiculous way. | |
| But they say this. | |
| They say that the principal alludes that Turning Point USA promotes racial intolerance. | |
| But when Charlie Kirk spoke in 2018 at Colorado State University, attracting some neo-Nazi protesters, Kirk explicitly distanced Turning Point USA from those protesters. | |
| It's not who we are, Charlie Kirk said in his speech. | |
| It's not what we believe. | |
| It's not what Turning Point USA believes. | |
| Huh. | |
| Well, that doesn't sound like what Grischaber says. | |
| But then they found some lunatic from the Northside, obviously, Northside College Prep. | |
| I know that place, unfortunately. | |
| Kassem said that the idea that Turning Point USA promotes racial intolerance, quote, is absolutely ridiculous, is what Kassem said. | |
| But then they found this person, Nora Flanagan. | |
| I'm confusing names. | |
| Nora Flanagan is the teacher at Northside College Prep who does research on white nationalism. | |
| This is the person I'm talking about. | |
| And says that Turning Point USA, quote, on a good day, is white nationalist adjacent, referring to homophobic and transphobic posts on social media made by people involved. | |
| Can you name one, please? | |
| Can you name one post? | |
| Just use some evidence. | |
| Please, name one piece of evidence. | |
| Have you ever met a Turning Point USA staff member? | |
| Do you know anything about the organization? | |
| Only the most unabashed, unashamed racists are going to put swastikas on their clothing. | |
| You see that? | |
| So Flanagan calls us Nazis. | |
| Turning point for my money is the most scrubbed version of the same old ideology. | |
| I mean, at some point, it's just like, this is the most sloppy analysis. | |
| It just doesn't, there's no mental strength goes into the processing of this information. | |
| Remember, the left hates the idea that there are other ideas. | |
| Kassem encouraged the students trying to form the group to take a step back and decide how to proceed in January. | |
| And then new Fox News article out: the Chicago Police Department. | |
| This is this, the Chicago Police Department. | |
| Give me an idea. | |
| The Chicago Police Department is not worried, by the way. | |
| They're not worried about the smashing, grabbing, and looting of millions of dollars of merchandise in Chicago. | |
| The Chicago Police Department is not worried about the 776 people shot and killed, or the 3,628 people shot and wounded in Chicago, or the 4,404 people total shot, or the 825 total homicides in Chicago. | |
| The Chicago Police Department is not worried about the 11 homicides this week or the 45 people total shot. | |
| They're not worried that 36 people have been murdered in December. | |
| No, The Chicago Police Department, they're not worried about the fact that 800 people have killed each other in Chicago, the bloodbath that's happening on the streets. | |
| No, no, no, you understand. | |
| The Chicago Police Department, they're conducting an internal investigation into a sergeant who voiced her support for the formation of a Turning Point USA chapter at a local area high school. | |
| That's the priority of the Chicago Police Department. | |
| The Chicago Police Department sergeant Amy Kassem, who's also the 41st ward of the Republican Committee in Chicago, voiced her support for the potential creation of a Turning Point USA chapter. | |
| Some brave students will be creating this chapter at Turning Point USA tomorrow at William Taft High School, which is located at the northwest side of Chicago in the 41st ward. | |
| Kassem went on to say that conservatives in Chicago are often called Nazis, white supremacist, and outright racists. | |
| I'm certainly students will realize that there's almost certainly to be scrutinized by the administration at the school, which seems to embrace Marxist views of a substantial amount of Chicago teacher union members. | |
| One day after Kassem made that post, Melissa Hess, the assistant principal at William Taft High School, tweeted that the administration was concerned with the student organization, but did not name Turning Point USA directly, obviously. | |
| But now the Chicago Police Department is undergoing an investigation because how dare a sergeant want to have a Turning Point USA chapter at a high school? | |
| That right there, that's a threat to Chicago. | |
| Chicago values of 825 homicides this year, beautiful. | |
| Blood in the streets. | |
| How dare we comment on that? | |
| But at William Howard Taft High School, the most concerning thing is there might be a couple kids that want to talk about the Constitution. | |
| At William Howard Taft High School, if there are a couple kids that want to talk about markets, want to talk about why America is a beautiful country and the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world, that requires the full and total deployment of every powerful person in Chicago. | |
| Fox News handled the article very well. | |
| Turning Point USA is a student organization that has established over 1,000 college chapters across 50 states, according to their website. | |
| The organization also has chapters at high schools across the country. | |
| Thank you, Fox News, for accurately covering that. | |
| But don't worry, in Chicago, they're not worried that there's a smash and grab operation on Michigan Avenue, that women are getting raped and mugged. | |
| The Chicago Police Department, they're going to root out whether or not one of their sergeants wants to make sure kids can learn about the Constitution. | |
| And by the way, they don't believe in Taft values. | |
| Here's a quote from William Howard Taft: Socialism proposes no adequate substitute for the motive of enlightened selfishness that today is at the basis of all human labor and effort, enterprise, and new activity. | |
| For those of you that live in Chicago, you know, Chicago was my home for a while, and I still love parts of Chicago. | |
| A lot of friends there, my family's there. | |
| That's not the city I grew up in. | |
| That's not the Chicago I remember. | |
| The Chicago I remember was, yeah, it was a Democrat city. | |
| It was like a machine Democrat city, though. | |
| But it was a city of tough people. | |
| The Chicago I grew up in in 2002 or 2003 or 2004, when I was in second, third, and fourth grade, it was a city that prided itself on being the hardest working city in the country. | |
| The idea that if someone wanted to go form a group to study the Constitution in 2005, that that would be met with backlash and investigating a police officer in Chicago, it would have been laughable. | |
| What happened to Chicago the last 15 years? | |
| Well, Barack Obama certainly didn't make Chicago a better place. | |
| Chicago became bloodier after Barack Obama became president. | |
| Chicago, in a lot of different ways, unfortunately, because of these transactional machine politicians that then got infected with the woke virus. | |
| And by the way, let me say this. | |
| I'm going to get so much hate mail from people. | |
| Mayor Daly wasn't a bad mayor. | |
| He wasn't. | |
| The younger Mayor Daly, the older Mayor Daly, was super corrupt. | |
| I know that people are going to be like, he was terrible. | |
| Okay, compared to Tiny Dancer Rahm Emanuel or Lori Lightfoot, I yearn for the days of Mayor Daly, okay? | |
| He loved the city. | |
| He bled for Chicago. | |
| He wanted what's best. | |
| Chicago has fallen apart, everybody. | |
| And it saddens me. | |
| And this is why we as conservatives should care about it because a lot of conservatives, they say, oh, who cares? | |
| Whatever. | |
| We should care about the destruction of beautiful things. | |
| That's what it means to be a conservative, to conserve things. | |
| Chicago is an awesome place. | |
| And by the way, no matter what people tell you, it was not a progressive city. | |
| It wasn't. | |
| Chicago values were about hard work, muscular labor, taking risks. | |
| It was about becoming a better person. | |
| Chicago used to be the center of American industry. | |
| Chicago used to be one of the safest cities in the country. | |
| Magmile, the Bean, Hancock, Sears Tower, Nova College, the Willis Tower. | |
| The point is that it's worth a lot of reflection, and we're not going to be able to iron this all out right now. | |
| How a beautiful place, a safe place, has become a place where now the biggest concern of the Chicago Police Department is whether or not one of their sergeants wants to support students to go study about free markets in the Constitution while there's a bloodbath of 825 people getting murdered in Chicago. | |

Moms Fight Trans Movement
00:05:19
|
|
| I have loved the school board movement across the country. | |
| I have loved seeing moms and dads across the country show up and challenge the powers to be. | |
| It's been one of the great success stories of 2021. | |
| One of the great stories has been seeing normal people that have never been involved in the process before reclaim the idea of the citizen, which means co-ruler of your nation. | |
| A citizen is a very unique and fragile idea. | |
| There is no guarantee that we can remain as citizens. | |
| It's the idea of serfs and subjects versus citizens. | |
| Citizens are involved. | |
| Citizens are engaged. | |
| Citizens are questioning. | |
| Citizens are capable, willing, and able to disagree with people in power. | |
| A recent school board meeting, a parent, I think this is in California, yeah, went there and explains how two teachers at a California school have repeatedly and reportedly been coaching a 12-year-old into trans identity behind her parents' back. | |
| Now, I got to be careful the way I talk about this story because it could come across as like I'm saying something I'm not. | |
| So I'm going to try my best, which is we as conservatives tried to warn people that when the trans movement was gaining steam, that it will not stop there. | |
| That the tolerance of the destruction of traditional gender roles will inevitably result in people trying to convince people they aren't a certain gender, the recruitment of people into these ranks. | |
| That sort of sexual anarchy will not stay in that circle. | |
| And I know that there's some people listening right now that say, Charlie, the trans thing, I don't get why you always talk about it. | |
| Who cares if a man wants to be a woman and a woman wants to be a man? | |
| I might not be able to convince you of that. | |
| Maybe one day I will. | |
| We've gone through why gender and sex are directly related, why God's design for a human being, you shouldn't declare war on your own biological structure, but maybe you've remained unconvinced of that. | |
| Like, who cares? | |
| There's no way that you're okay than with predators going after 12-year-olds and trying to coach them to change their identity behind their parents' back. | |
| Now, you might say, well, Charlie, those are two separate things. | |
| No, they're actually really related. | |
| If you don't fight on the destruction of gender roles, then how are you supposed to say that this is wrong? | |
| It's like changing your hair color, isn't it? | |
| Oh, it's just like I want to go from blonde to brunette. | |
| Because that's the casual posture so many conservatives have had towards the trans issue. | |
| Play cut 89. | |
| Ms. Caldera, you're guilty. | |
| Miss Beraki, you're guilty. | |
| You changed her personal documentation, her gender, her name, her email. | |
| I authorized an aka added to her attendance because I wanted to be supportive. | |
| But guess what? | |
| She's allergic to bees. | |
| Her medical record says a birth name, and you changed it. | |
| They downgraded me in front of my child and allowed me to question myself as a mother. | |
| You sat there and told me how my child was going to be. | |
| And then you wrapped your hands around her while I sat across the table and cried because you thought you could be there better than I and I never got a chance. | |
| A commonality of every totalitarian government is destroying the bond between a parent and a child. | |
| If you send your kid to private school, there's a chance that they might be recruited into changing their gender outside of parental rights. | |
| Now, this is the mom speaking out against this. | |
| And what she was articulating is how the state wants to co-partner the raising of children. | |
| And again, I'm not going to convince you on the transgender thing. | |
| My position is not the laissez-faire. | |
| Who cares if a man wants to be a woman? | |
| You know that that's not our position. | |
| But let's pretend that's your position, that you want, you still believe in classical liberalism. | |
| And I'm not going to fault you for that. | |
| It's idealistic in nature. | |
| Whatever, we could disagree. | |
| Are you going to speak out now that schools are saying that parents no longer have sovereignty over children and that they're going to change the gender? | |
| Postmillennial.com, California school allegedly coached a 12-year-old into trans identity behind parents' back. | |
| This is in Spreckles Union School District. | |
| Jessica Conan has allegedly alleged that the school staff indoctrinated the 12-year-old daughter in the LGBT club, 12-year-old daughter. | |
| So, with taxpayer money in California, the well-intentioned classical liberal people said, Who cares if a man wants to be a woman? | |
| Now you see the actual recruitment and the changing of people's identity, the death of parenting. | |
