CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): We don't like when the strong crush the weak. That's why we don't like Putin. That's why we don't like Lia Thomas. Lia Thomas is doing the exact sort of moral behavior – I am not saying Lia Thomas is bombing hospital maternity wards or not, of course not. It's the same moral principle. I have power and I'm going to use it for my own benefit.

If we are not willing to protect those that can't protect themselves – female sports is done. Lia Thomas, whatever, the man, is going to crush all the NCAA women's records.

...

KIRK: Where are the feminists? They don't speak. Where are the feminists? They don't talk. We talk as conservatives about this because we don't like when people use strength to crush people that are weaker. And that's exactly what Lia Thomas is doing.
