Does the 1st Amendment Cover Satan? with Sean Feucht and Kayleigh McEnany

Sean Feucht helped organize Christian resistance to church shutdowns during Covid. Now, he's leading Kingdom to the Capitol, a fifty-state effort to bring prayer back to the steps of state Capitols. Charlie and Sean talk about that, as well as the suddenly-relevant question of whether. Plus, Kayleigh McEnany talks about the Biden press office, and their vile support of transgender radicals in the immediate aftermath of a gruesome anti-Christian shooting.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
Joining us now is Sean Foyt, very important voice in our country.
Sean is doing a Kingdom to Capital tour, and TPUSA Faith is really thrilled to be partnering with Sean on that.
Sean, give us the update.
How's it going?
Oh, man, it's been incredible.
It really has been.
I think that, you know, joining together with TPUSA Faith and us partnering to pull these things off, it's been historic.
I mean, what other gatherings in America, let me ask you this, what other gatherings across America, we've had nine of them so far, are gathering thousands of believers and patriots to the Capitol steps every single weekend.
I mean, our attendance is averaging between two and 5,000, even more in some cities.
I mean, it's historic.
It's historic what's happening.
And not just on the fact that Christians are gathering and they're excited to take a stand and they're feeling empowered, but it's actually starting to change things legislatively.
I mean, we prayed over Kevin Stidd in Oklahoma City a week and a half ago, and we were with him and we were discussing this bill that he just finally signed yesterday, you know, banning the surgery, the mutilation of children's bodies in the state of Oklahoma.
We're going to chalk that one up as a win, man.
We were a part of that.
You know, so it's awesome to see that the effects of what we're doing as well.
Let's play Cut 36 to give people a little bit of a taste and a flavor of what's been going on.
Play Cut 36.
What started with a remnant small Gideon's army on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in July of 2020 has now gone viral across America.
We have taken lettuce worship to over 170 cities across the nation, gathered hundreds of thousands, seen tens of thousands saved, healed, delivered, set free, and the heart of the nation awaken again.
This is the season to dream even bigger with God as we take the momentum of what he's done the last two years and we bring lettuce worship to every single state capital across America.
Sean, give people some background.
This started during COVID and now it has grown tremendously.
Tell us more about it.
Yeah, so it basically started with the pledge and at the height of lockdown when when people were closing their churches down all across America.
And I was in California, the most lockdown of lockdown states.
We circulated a pledge online called Let Us Worship.
It was very simple.
And it just said, we're not going to allow the government to tell us when and how to worship God.
We are going to be the church and do what the church has been doing for 2,000 years.
So that really birthed.
And then a few days later after the pledge, we had our first gathering on the Golden Gate Bridge in June of 2020.
And the city was in a 21-down, 21-day shelter-in-place order.
We gathered hundreds of people on the bridge and we had our first event right there in the heart of one of the craziest cities in America.
Then it started to sweep across America.
In the end of 2020, we had the largest church service in the world recorded in the world in 2020 on the National Mall.
We had over 40,000 people there on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
And it was just, it was powerful.
And since that time, you know, I thought since the lockdown was over and COVID was over, maybe it would die down a little bit, but it just seems to be increasing.
And so now we're really on this journey of going to every, the mandate is bringing the kingdom of the capital, bringing God's kingdom to every single state capital.
I don't think it's really ever been done like this before.
And each capital we're going to, we're just seeing God do amazing things.
We're seeing thousands of people gather.
We're seeing the church really rise up to meet the needs of the hour.
And we're also seeing governors and senators and congressmembers and people like really, we're finding out who the real ones are, Charlie.
It's been an incredible journey.
Spiritual War and Free Speech Hypocrisy 00:11:32
What are the upcoming cities and states we have planned?
So this weekend is we got a really big weekend coming up.
We're going to be in Madison, Wisconsin on Friday night.
Then we're going to be in Springfield, Illinois, the capital of Illinois, which you know well on Saturday.
And then Sunday, we're going to be gathering in Indianapolis, Indiana.
And so that's the weekend agenda.
That's a big weekend hitting the Midwest states.
I hope the weather holds.
So I want to ask you now, Sean, there's a new ruling and it is going viral on Twitter and is the source of a lot of debate and discussion.
I mean, I've been very clear of my views on this, but there's been some dispute as to whether or not Satan clubs should be allowed in churches.
So I want to make sure I get the tweet here.
Yeah, here it is.
Breaking.
A federal judge now has just ruled that the Satan Club, sponsored by the Satanic Temple, must be permitted to convene at schools.
Judge John M. Gallagher stated, quote, when confronted with a challenge to free speech, the government's first instinct must be to forward expression rather than quash it, particularly when the consent is controversial or inconvenient.
Nothing less is consistent with the express purpose of the American government to secure the core innate rights of the people.
Now, I could go through a legal argument because the profane, the demonic, or the Luciferian was never in the intent of the founding fathers, especially when it comes to children.
It was about the virtue, ethical, monotheistic worldview.
So I don't think this has any place around children.
Sean, but let's just talk more from a cultural perspective.
Where are we at now that Satan clubs are gaining traction in schools?
Well, you're talking to the right guy.
Here's two postcards from apparently from Satan that were sent to my house.
And these are threats against my family and what we're doing.
So I'm well aware of these people.
You know, we've had them come to our events, attack our events, pour blood on us.
Listen, we're living in a spiritual war.
And I think people really got to wake up and understand this.
You know, the Bible is very clear.
Our fight isn't against flesh and blood.
It's against powers and principalities.
And we're in a season right now, Charlie, where those principalities are feeling emboldened and they're just right out there in the open.
They're not hiding anymore.
You're seeing things like this.
You saw the largest gathering of Satan, Satanists that we've known in modern times in Boston this weekend.
So yeah, we're in a spiritual war.
And at the same time, they're indoctrinating the public education system.
We've got Drag Queen's Story Hour.
We got perversion.
We got what's his name at the Grammys doing a full-blown satanic demonic worship service.
And so we, yes, these are the times that we are living in.
And it's like, I was just preaching this last weekend in Pennsylvania.
I said, you know, listen, buckle up, buttercups.
Like, you were made for such a time as this.
This is a season of war.
It's a season of spiritual war.
We can no longer sit on the back seat and not engage as believers.
We got to engage.
This is why we're going to every single capital.
Why?
Because the capital cities are the worst cities in America.
They're the most over-regulated, the highest crime, the most infiltrated with demonic ideology.
And we need believers to rise up.
I mean, this should be a cue, you know, that yes, a federal judge is doing that.
Why?
Because the powers and principalities want the indoctrination of children with demonic ideas in school.
Plain and simple.
We are at a place.
We're going to play this tape after the break, Sean, where a kid is not allowed to wear a shirt that says there are only two genders, but a Satan group is perfectly fine.
And this judge says, look, I mean, I understand the spirit of what the judge is saying.
I think the judge is just afraid of the backlash where it says free speech.
But that's a really interesting question, right?
When it comes to free speech, what is the speech supposed to point towards, especially when it comes to children, right?
Do you allow pornography?
The answer is yes, they actually do allow pornography with children.
No, the innocence of children must be protected from the profane, from the ugly.
100%.
And it should point towards virtue.
There's nothing virtuous about Satan.
No, no.
In fact, it's literally Satan.
It's diabolical.
It's the rebellion against the divine.
It's my will, not God's will.
The fact I have to make an argument as to why Satan is bad kind of goes to show exactly the time that we're living in.
Satan clubs are growing in public schools across the country, being welcomed with open arms.
Are they allowed to have Christian clubs or MAGA clubs or only two gender clubs?
That would be hate speech.
It's hilarious how the left is excited about free speech when it involves Lucifer.
Makes you think.
It's kingdomtocapital.com.
The website is kingdomtothecapital.com.
Sean, I just want to play a piece of tape here that I think segues.
So at certain schools, not the same school, but this is a cultural issue.
Satan club fine wearing a shirt that says there are only two genders, not fine.
Well, this 12-year-old boy speaks out against it.
Play cut 27.
There are only two genders.
Nothing harmful, nothing threatening.
Just a statement I believe to be a fact.
I have been told that my shirt was targeting a protected class.
Who is this protected class?
Are their feelings more important than my rights?
I don't complain when I see pride flags and diversity posters hung throughout the school.
Do you know why?
Because others have a right to their beliefs just as I do.
Why do the rules apply to one yet not another?
I feel like these adults were telling me that it wasn't okay for me to have an opposing view.
Their arguments were weak.
Sean, it's interesting when it comes, if you ever want to challenge the alphabet mafia or the purple-haired jihadis, they say, no, no, no, that's offensive, but they're all free speech advocates when it comes to Satan.
Your thoughts?
That kid's brilliant, man.
I mean, he articulated in a few minutes what people just don't seem to understand.
He's pointing out the hypocrisy.
I mean, that's what we have to do in this season.
It's insane.
And that's exactly what we did.
I mean, not to bring it back to this, but that's what we did during Let Us Worship.
We pointed out the hypocrisy.
How are strip clubs and casinos open and rioting in the streets?
And then you're targeting Christians.
It's like there is an anti-Christ agenda in the government, in the schools, in the public libraries with these judges where they are targeting, they are targeting believers.
And, you know, I love that you're seeing these videos come out because even the kids are starting to get it.
I mean, even this kid is starting to see it, you know.
And that's how we're going to see things change.
We've got to expose it.
I think that's right.
The website again is kingdom to the capital.
It's capital with an o.com.
Sean, I have to ask you: why do you stay in California?
And what is your belief as to why people should keep on fighting in these blue states?
Yeah, that's actually the same question DeSantis asked me when we were together.
He came to our Let Us Worship event in Miami and he was like, why don't you just move everything to Florida?
And I said, well, you got a lot of great people here and I love Florida.
However, I mean, who's going to fight in California?
We cannot be the conservative Patriot believers that just withdraw to the easy places.
And that's no shame against people that have moved out of California or out of New York.
I get it.
I understand.
However, there are some people that are called to stay and fight.
And, you know, I'll reference the last midterm election.
Who won the house back for the Republicans?
California did.
California overperformed in that election.
Why?
Because there's a movement happening here.
People are sick and tired and they're fed up.
So, yeah, I think, Charlie, I mean, not to make it super spiritual, but I think it really comes down to like, what has God called you to do?
And for me and my family in this season, he's called us to be here and he's called us to fight.
And that's what we're going to do until we hear otherwise.
And when they start coming after our kids, it's the red line.
Again, the website is kingdomtocapital.com, capital with an O this weekend in Madison, Wisconsin, Springfield, Illinois, Indianapolis.
Honored to be partnering with you, Sean.
Thanks so much.
Yeah, it's fun to do this together.
Thanks for having me on.
You bet, Sean.
Thank you.
I don't know about you, but it takes a lot to shock me these days.
To see our judicial system resemble a third world banana republic, to see trusted American companies embrace insane and destructive woke ideologies is sometimes depressing.
We must fight back, and that starts with changing the way we spend our money.
For years, big mobile companies have been dumping millions into leftist causes, and we had to take it because another option did not exist.
Well, now it does.

I do want to play a piece of tape here as we segue into that next segment.
Let's go to cut six, Tennessee Representative Justin Pearson, who I believe was expelled.
Play cut six.
And for our entire generation, which recognizes that the opportunity that we have cannot be wasted by going along with the status quo as usual.
The status quo has propped up white supremacy and patriarchy and injustice.
It has created a situation where in a state like Tennessee, we have an increase in poverty.
We have some of the lowest voter turnout.
We have a situation where we have this epidemic of gun violence and the silence from leaders in the Republican Party in our state house.
And we know that things can be different and it can be better.
And so in this moment, I believe the moral courage of all of our generation is awakening to our power.
So he was one of the Tennessee Democrats who encouraged the storming of the Capitol.
And he got reinstated into the Tennessee House as his celebrity started to rise.
I think some Republicans even voted to reinstate him.
This is just my message more broadly to people in red states.
Tennessee, I'm telling you, that state is going to become a battleground state if you guys are not careful.
The amount of people moving into that state, the amount of development, Nashville is becoming not the Nashville that I remember growing up.
Be careful if you are in a red state.
You are far from comfortable.
Legacy Box: Preserving American Memories 00:02:28
The liberal parasites, the cockroaches, the pathogens, the bacterial infection of leftism is coming for your home.
It's amazing just to see the contrast between what the current regime is doing and what President Trump was able to do.
It really is amazing.
President Trump is bullish.
Play cut 11.
President Trump says we're going to win in 2024.
Play cut 11.
I think we're going to win in 24, and I think it'll be the biggest thing ever to happen for our country because we're going to turn it around and we're going to make America great again.
We're going to put America first.
I did tremendous trade deals.
They've now allowed some of these trade deals to go bad.
You know, we're losing over a trillion dollars now on trade.
Now, that was President Trump's interview with Steve Bannon.
And it's just worth noting.
Trump is looking good.
He looks engaged.
He looks vibrant.
He looks great.
He looks like he wants this, which is a fabulous sign for those of us that support him.
You watch that interview with Steve Bannon.
He's getting that 2016 energy back, which makes me pretty excited.
Hey, everybody.
Are you protected against a potential fire or flood for all your family memories?
I love Legacy Box.
I use it, and it's like magic.

Best Press Secretary in History 00:08:56
Joining us now is one of the most important fighters for freedom in America, Kaylee McEnany, author of the important new book, Serenity in the Storm.
Kaylee, welcome to the program.
Thank you.
I'm holding it up so they can all see.
What is that poster behind you?
It looks like the old ones that Obama used to have.
Okay, no.
So not related to Obama, but it's funny.
I'll lean over this way.
Okay.
So I was going to Trump rallies back when I was press secretary and I saw people wearing this shirt with fax on it.
And so my mom got me this poster.
I got it framed here at the office at Fox.
I love it.
I love it.
And by the way, you're much more qualified than Barack Obama.
So you deserve the poster.
By the way, you had to deal with a hostile press, unlike Obama.
Obama would come up in his tan suit and they'd say, how was the ice cream on your trip to Europe?
And you are getting like, I mean, the questions you had to get, Kaylee, you were press secretary during COVID.
Is that right?
That's right.
The most aberrational time, arguably, in recent history.
Yes, that's what I was saying.
I mean, and just so everyone understands, and I'm sure you talk about this in the book, Serenity in the Storm, Kaylee would come up.
There are no good answers the way they were framing the questions.
They'd basically say, you know, why did my grandma die, Kaylee?
Can you tell me?
I mean, it's like, it's just, there's no good answers.
Just walk us through that.
You were the front lines of the most ferocious, aggressive press campaign against any administration ever.
This was election year.
It was COVID.
It was the country was changing in real time.
And I thought you handled it beautifully.
Walk us through that from your perspective.
Charlie, I knew I needed to be better prepared than any member of the press.
I knew I needed to do more research, more homework, have more answers, call more department heads, get into the weeds myself.
I'm not someone who gets talking points and goes out and says them.
I'm someone who helped create the talking points, really important.
I would go up and I would say things like, I fought and so did President Trump for schools opening for America's children.
Said it ad nauseum at the podium.
I would cite scientific data in support of the damage being done to America's kids.
And in return, it doesn't matter what I said, how many footnotes I had, Jim Acosta would go and tweet out, Kaylee says schools should open in contravention of the science.
So exact opposite of what I said.
Meanwhile, today, you have Corrine Jean-Pierre saying illegal immigration is going down.
Republicans want to fund border, defund border patrol, and Republicans want and are fighting to put fentanyl on our streets.
These are abject lies.
And yet when you Google them, there are no fact checkers.
And you go back to the old, I mean, I used to watch this.
And I mean, Kaylee, we've known each other for years.
And I would say, boy, I'm praying for Kaylee right now.
I mean, these people were savages towards you.
They'd interrupt you.
They'd throw stuff.
I mean, it was, there was no easy question.
And with Corine Jean-Pierre, she's able to say whatever they want.
They say, oh, okay.
On to the next question.
And it's not even a double standard.
It's not even the same arena, the same galaxy, the same universe.
I mean, but it also goes to show how talented you were.
I think you're one of the best press.
You were one of the best press secretaries in American history, if not the best.
Because people have to understand the time of which Kaylee was press secretary was the most, it was high stakes beyond.
And it was confusion, galore, and people just constantly spending things for their own ideological and political agenda.
And despite all that, President Trump was doing a fabulous job, you know, governing the country.
You were posed, you were tasked with actually communicating the legislative agenda.
But Kaylee, it must, is it frustrating?
Is it funny?
Is it how you see how this current press secretary is treated?
You must say, this is not even the same job.
It's sad.
And at times, when the stakes are elevated, it's, I would say, it creates a lot of anger in me.
And here's what I mean by that.
I'm not a person who's quick to anger by any stretch of the imagination.
You could say pretty much anything I disagree with.
Don't get angry.
But when I get angry is when the stakes are so high for our country.
So, for instance, as a mother, Charlie, I know you're a father.
The Nashville shooting, those six beautiful innocent people who lost their lives, six Christians gunned down by a transgender individual.
When I watched the press briefings that week, Corine Jean-Pierre used the word transgender and fight in the same sentence.
Multiple times she talked about transgender rights.
Not one time did Corine Jean-Pierre or anyone in the administration say the word Christian when it's an issue of this enormity that you see the press just not even acknowledged.
Imagine if the roles were reversed in that.
And if I had not acknowledged a certain group of victims at a certain time, there would have been a ferocious outroar.
So for me, I can look past and roll my eyes at a lot of things, but when the stakes are so high on an issue like that, where lives were literally lost, it does cause anger.
I mean, you have a really great way about you that is appealing, and you're much better at self-control than I am.
That's for sure.
Tell us about the book.
I'm just reading about here.
I mean, you lived through a lot, but you go back to your faith, and that's what's so important.
I mean, I believe we're in a spiritual war.
I think that what you were experiencing as, you know, as press secretary was just a manifestation of the invisible.
But the byline of your book or the subheader is living through chaos by leaning on Christ.
That's really rarely said by most people in public life.
I think that's beautiful.
Tell us about it.
Yeah, you know, it struck me that we are in a moment that is bigger than any one president, bigger than any one political movement.
Look, elections are important, Charlie.
Absolutely.
I think the country would be better off if Joe Biden wasn't our president, for example.
But something bigger is happening where the cultural tectonic plates of our country have shifted in such an enormous way, where faith is under attack, freedom's under attack, the family unit is under attack.
And just one example that's personal to me as a mom, you know, education.
You look, you talk about education all the time, but the Supreme Court was very clear when they knocked prayer out of schools, which, by the way, a woman named Madeline Murray O'Hare, an atheist, someone who was a Marxist, really, who wanted to be a member of the Soviet Union.
She was the one behind removing prayer from schools.
Her son, William Murray, goes on to become a Southern Baptist minister.
He leaves behind his drug life.
Christ totally transforms him.
And he said this, and it stood out to me: July 17th, 1963 was the first day Baltimore's children could not pray in schools.
Before that date, there had never been a murder in a Baltimore school.
If you want to ask what is happening in our country, when you remove God and young people have nothing to turn to but social media and selfies and self-worship, that is when you get the suicide rates we're seeing, the violence and all of the troubling outgrowths of completely leaving God behind.
I think that's beautifully said.
And then we see all these other social contagions start to fill the void.
And so walk us through the personal aspect of your relationship with Christ when you were under fire, right?
When it was nine, the economy seemed like it was collapsing, the stock market was cut in half, you know, and you have literally tens of millions of people turning on TV and saying, what is this administration thinking?
Your book is called Serenity in the Storm, which is beautiful because we're guaranteed a storm in our life or a variety of storms.
And you can look at many of the stories of the New Testament where Jesus has total command over nature, where he's able to calm the storm.
Is that a theme that you explore there and talk about how when the storm was the most intense, that Christ was your comfort, as it says in Psalm 23 so beautifully?
Yeah, you know, I'll say there are times that are hard where even me as a Christian, you know, I get sad or disappointed or anxious or feel lonely.
You know, one example that comes to mind is when I was working here at Fox News as a producer on Huckabee, I had gone through a bad breakup.
I was just out of college, living in New York City, felt very lonely.
I left work a little early.
I went to my apartment and I said, God, if you are out there, I need to hear from you now.
And at that moment, my phone lit up with a number I did not know.
And I thought, hey, this could be a telemarketer, but I don't care.
That'd be a fun conversation because I'm that lonely.
Instead, it was a member of my church saying, this is the journey, church.
We need to pray for you.
How can we pray for you?
And it was literally God reaching out to me in a very dark moment in life.
And I go back and I remember that.
And that call transformed my lives.
And there are times I want to fight back against wrong press headlines or, you know, engage in mono, amano.
Like I want to stand up for myself.
But that's when I remind myself of that moment and this song by Phil Wickman that the battle belongs to you.
And when we fight, we fight on our knees with our hands lifted high because the battle belongs to him.
And when you know that, you can have calm in the storm, even though sometimes your emotions are quite so calm.
Yeah, amen.
Calling Out Transgender Hate Crimes 00:06:01
Let's play a piece of tape here.
I think we have the, let's just say the very disappointing replacement.
I'll be nice for you.
I think we have some Corinne Jean-Pierre clips.
Cut 43.
Okay, play Cut 43.
He has tools that he's used to make sure that we do this.
We actually deal with the immigration system in a humane way and in a way that actually deals with what we're seeing at the border.
And that's why you've seen the parolee program be so successful.
It has, when it comes to illegal migration, you've seen it come down by more than 90%.
And that's because of the actions that this president has taken.
Yep, fact check.
Fiscal year 2022, 1.3 million illegal crossings.
23, 1.4 million.
That means there's been an increase of 136,000.
So fact check false, Corinne Jean-Pierre.
The fact checkers won't do it, but we will do it here.
It's well said.
So Kaylee, the country's in a terrible shape.
I could go across the board from immigration to foreign policy, from the Chinese Communist Party.
I mean, just from a big picture here, do you see Democrats, do you see a trend where Democrats are going to have to pay a price for what they're currently doing to the country?
Only if Republicans succeed in making this a choice between a positive agenda and illustrating the contrast with Democrats.
You know, if this is, you never want in politics something to be a referendum on you as a person.
You want it to be a choice for a positive agenda.
And the reason I'm sounding, you know, a little more pessimistic is because I do want to see in 2024 Republicans prevail.
That means being honest about the mistakes we've made.
And, you know, I look back to the midterms, for example.
I personally thought it was going to be a red tidal wave.
I thought that.
Poling suggested that.
And then it didn't happen.
And it made me realize that the moniker of it's the economy stupid, which is always long held to be true, is true no longer.
So we've got to illustrate as a party.
And there's so many good things we did, President Trump, so many good conservative ideas.
Put it forward, make it a choice.
It can be done, but we have to prosecute this case with precision because the stakes are too high.
I want to play a piece of tape here from Corine Jean-Pierre.
Remember what she said after the Christian hate crime?
Christians were slaughtered by the trans individual in Tennessee.
We still haven't seen the manifesto.
We're told that it's coming out.
Play cut 43.
More than 50% of transgender youth in the U.S., which is estimated to be more than 150,000 kids, live in states in which transgender youth have lost access to or at risk of losing access to gender-affirming care.
Look, this is awful news.
Let's be very clear about that.
LGBTQI plus kids are resilient.
They are fierce.
They fight back.
They're not going anywhere.
And we have their back.
This administration has their back.
Has their back after a mass murder, after another individual was arrested.
No mention of Christians.
Kaylee, your reaction.
In communications, you understand words more than anyone.
You understand the importance of one word, of one phrase, of the kind of emotions it can evoke.
That is what you do as a communicator.
And that's her job as the communicator for our country at this moment in time.
For her to use the words, they fight back days after a transgender individual killed six Christians.
It's appalling.
It's disgusting.
That word should never be used.
And to not acknowledge the victim here, I'm the first to say if a shooting happens at Tree of Life Synagogue, that was an attack on Jewish men and women, Pulse nightclub, gay men and women, Nashville Covenant School, Christian men and women, and children.
We have to call things out for what they are when we see them happen.
And the fact that the White House got away with this without anyone in the media questioning it is a really sad indictment of the American media.
Without a doubt.
There's another one where she says, after the tragedy, our hearts go out to the trans community.
They are under attack.
Not Christians under attack.
Play cut 44.
And one of the things that we saw during the midterm elections is that people don't want their freedoms to be taken.
They want us to fight for their freedoms.
And so it is shameful.
It is disturbing.
And our hearts go out to the trans community as they are under attack right now.
It is the first shooting ever that I've seen where the shooter and the murderers get more sympathy than the actual victims.
Kaylee, one minute remaining.
How should Christians respond more broadly to this disturbing trend?
We should speak out about our faith, about why we have it, about the importance of it in our lives, and call out the administration for what it's doing because I don't believe that language there is in isolation.
When you have the Department of Justice, STEM going after Portland rioters, they decide to go after the pro-life community, Mark Howe, exonerated in a court of law.
There's a memo in the FBI about radical traditional Catholics and at least one testament to putting an individual, a plant inside a Catholic church, the desire to do that.
This isn't happening in isolation.
This is a broader attack on Christianity that's coming from this administration.
We got to be vocal about it.
