Charlie dives into the changing media landscape shifting around the feet of the Biden Regime and examines what is driving the change in tone, coverage and even the White House staff. As Jen Psaki heads for the exit, other rumors swirl around a "mass staff exodus" and a "toxic work environment" leak to reporters, why are Democrats jumping ship? Meanwhile, almost to a T, a final, eerily prophetic warning from the GOAT, Rush Limbaugh, appears to be coming true right before our eyes as the crises continue to mount for the Regime. Next up, Charlie welcomes Jennifer Braceras, Director of the Independent Women's Law Center, who is working to to pass a "Women's Bill of Right" to codify into law what is a woman, what is a man, and other basic terms. As Charlie remains suspended from Twitter for affirming Rachel Levine is a biological man, you can sign the petition at IWV.org (Independent Women's Voice) to fight for an affirmation of a common-sense, traditional view of what a woman is.  Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

QUESTION PRESENTED:This case presents a clear and intractable conflict regarding an important jurisdictional qNew York prohibits its ordinary law-abiding citizens from carrying a handgun outside the home without a license, and it denies licenses to every citizen who fails to convince the state that he or she has “proper cause” to carry a firearm. In District of Columbia v. Heller, this Court held that the Second Amendment protects “the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation,” 554 U.S. 570, 592 (2008), and in McDonald v. City of Chicago, the Court held that this right “is fully applicable to the States,” 561 U.S. 742, 750 (2010). For more than a decade since then, numerous courts of appeals have squarely divided on this critical question: whether the Second Amendment allows the government to deprive ordinary law-abiding citizens of the right to possess and carry a handgun outside the home. This circuit split is open and acknowledged, and it is squarely presented by this petition, in which the Second Circuit affirmed the constitutionality of a New York regime that prohibits law-abiding individuals from carrying a handgun unless they first demonstrate some form of “proper cause” that distinguishes them from the body of “the people” protected by the Second Amendment. The time has come for this Court to resolve this critical constitutional impasse and reaffirm the citizens' fundamental right to carry a handgun for self-defense. The question presented is: Whether the Second Amendment allows the government to prohibit ordinary lawabiding citizens from carrying handguns outside the home for self- defense.DateProceedings and Orders (key to color coding)Dec 17 2020 | Petition for a writ of certiorari filed.

They were joined by Charles Love from 1776 Unites, a movement to shape America's future by educating students about the best of its past. They were also joined by Stanley Kurtz, an author, journalist, and anthropologist who has taught at both Harvard University and the University of Chicago.--Hosted by Inez Stepman of Independent Women's Forum and Jennifer Braceras of Independent Women's Law Center, At The Bar is virtual happy hour conversation about issues at the intersection of law, politics, and culture.
