The Charlie Kirk Show
Maine Wants Men in Women's Sports, No Matter The Cost

But truthfully, I'm frustrated. I'm frustrated that we have to be here, that we as women have to stand before you all on national television demanding equal opportunities, demanding privacy in areas of undressing, demanding safety in our sports. Amazing to me that we are still here fighting this fight.

Absolutely. Well, always a joy to be on with you, Charlie. Look, of course, President Donald Trump signed an executive order back in February barring all men from participating in women's sports within any educational program that receives federal funding. But what we have seen following this is some states have issued notices that they are unwilling to comply.

I mean, these are the typical characters, right? Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon, Washington, California, Minnesota. But there was this encounter between Governor Mills and Donald Trump at the White House where she, in this, I think what she thought was this mic drop moment, pushed back on this and said, look, we'll see you in court. We're not going to comply with this.

And she has certainly gotten her wish because now, after many efforts to make Maine comply with which, again, they just were unwilling to do. The Department of Justice is now pursuing litigation and is suing the state of Maine and removing federal funding. So quite the hill to die on.

doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on this. Which, again, if you would have asked me on November 5th if this was the route the Democratic Party would be going, I would tell you absolutely not. I mean, this wasn't an issue, if you can remember, that Kamala Harris wanted to campaign on. I mean, she didn't touch the trans issue virtually at all when she was campaigning.

So that was a good indication to me that the Democratic Party as a whole was going to slowly recant from their positions, distance themselves from their voting records. But again, that's just not at all what they've done, which... We know how the majority of American people feel. The stat is out there, 80-20 issue.

But even amongst the majority of the Democratic Party, their own party does not agree with this. So what Governor Mills is doing, I mean, I think she thinks it's this big middle finger to Donald Trump, but it's a big middle finger to Mainers. It's a big middle finger to young girls with dreams, dreams to succeed in their sports and beyond.

Sick. Yeah, these three female administrators in Deerfield, Illinois, stood outside the door. I mean, basically barricaded these young girls in. What a sick message to be sending to young girls, basically to let your guard down, be vulnerable. Get naked and shut up. Don't talk about it. It's happening, Charlie, all over the country.

Like you said, there was a girl who spoke at the press conference with Pam Bondi today from the state of Maine who said at the age of 13 years old, that's where she first encountered this issue. And it was in the locker room, a boy undressing next to her at 13 years old. I mean, I can personally testify to the feelings of just utter violation, the feelings of betrayal.
