Juno News - Canada’s media SMEARS Charlie Kirk + Liberals BLOCK moment of silence

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:00:05.360 Folks, we have a lot to get to today, and I'm going to be perfectly honest to you.

00:00:09.800 The last few days have been incredibly difficult.

00:00:12.460 Ever since Wednesday night, when we learned that Charlie Kirk was assassinated and murdered

00:00:17.720 on a university campus while having a debate politely with his political opponents, it's

00:00:23.360 been hard to watch.

00:00:24.100 It's been scary.

00:00:24.820 It's been really, really emotional for many of us, and particularly watching the way

00:00:30.620 that the legacy media have reacted to it, the way that many journalists, many mainstream

00:00:35.140 voices here in Canada have reacted to it, has been absolutely sickening.

00:00:38.820 We're going to get to all of it.

00:00:40.080 First, I want to start with the latest on the news front, so you know where we are with the

00:00:45.320 assassin, with the murderer of Charlie Kirk.

00:00:47.880 So I'm going to read here from Daily Wire.

00:00:49.840 Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox and President Donald Trump have pointed to radical left

00:00:54.740 ism as a potential factor in the killing of Charlie Kirk, an influential conservative.

00:00:59.460 It's very clear to us and to this investigation that this was a person who was deeply indoctrinated

00:01:05.500 with leftist ideology, Cox said over the weekend.

00:01:08.680 In comments to reporters on Monday, Trump discussed the federal government looking into a potential

00:01:13.080 role that leftist groups played in the assassination, saying that the left has a lot of problems.

00:01:18.060 Trump added that it appears Robinson was radicalized online.

00:01:21.980 Something happened to him over a fairly short period of time.

00:01:25.060 It looks like he was radicalized over the internet and radicalized on the left, Trump

00:01:28.780 said.

00:01:29.320 Robinson, who lived with his trans-identifying roommate, they were in a romantic relationship.

00:01:34.880 I'll say that again.

00:01:35.740 The shooter was in a romantic relationship with his trans-identifying male roommate.

00:01:42.060 And he discussed his dislike of Kirk with a family member at dinner before the assassination

00:01:46.420 and mentioned that Kirk would be coming to Utah Valley University, according to authorities.

00:01:50.520 Officials added that Robinson had become more political in recent years.

00:01:54.140 In an online message account tied to Robinson, Robinson appeared to have confessed to assassinating

00:01:59.300 Kirk.

00:01:59.620 The Washington Post reported on Monday, just hours before Robinson was arrested, the account

00:02:04.080 linked to him posted an online message saying, hey guys, I have bad news for you.

00:02:08.020 It was me at UVA yesterday.

00:02:09.840 I'm sorry for all of this.

00:02:11.820 So we will continue to provide the latest updates and the latest news on this.

00:02:14.940 But as of now, Charlie Kirk, the voice of a generation, a conservative leader, the most

00:02:21.080 prominent, probably the most powerful, the most influential, the most well-spoken, the

00:02:25.680 kindest, the most clear-minded person on the right in the public sphere was assassinated.

00:02:33.480 Charlie was a once-in-a-lifetime leader.

00:02:35.580 He was on a profound journey to reach young people and to teach them about the foundations

00:02:40.140 of our civilization, about faith, about family, about freedom, about how to live a fulfilled

00:02:45.860 life and how to defend and revive a civilization.

00:02:49.660 And Charlie Kirk was winning.

00:02:51.300 And then he was murdered.

00:02:53.440 The assassin's bullet hit Charlie's neck and ended his life.

00:02:56.700 But it also deliberately struck at the heart of our value structure, free and open debate.

00:03:02.620 Western liberal democracies are built on our ability to discuss ideas, to debate ideas,

00:03:07.720 to disagree with ideas.

00:03:09.880 That is why universities exist.

00:03:11.340 That is the purpose of universities.

00:03:13.000 Charlie went to those universities to try to win them back, to try to counter the ideological

00:03:17.920 programming that happens on university campuses.

00:03:21.120 He was so good at it.

00:03:22.360 He was so successful.

00:03:23.380 You know, his videos are going viral all over the internet.

00:03:26.420 I think his life and his legacy will continue.

00:03:28.820 He will be more impactful in death than he was in life because people are curious.

00:03:33.540 They want to know what it was that he did, what he said.

00:03:36.520 And when you go and you listen to the source and you see how he acted, the grace, the dignity,

00:03:41.640 the way, the kindness that he used when he was speaking to people, even whom he disagreed

00:03:46.280 with, it takes a lot of courage.

00:03:48.380 It takes a lot of wisdom to be able to go and speak with people with whom you disagree

00:03:52.240 with.

00:03:53.000 Charlie did it.

00:03:54.240 And political dialogue is the foundation of our civilization.

00:03:57.360 And that is why everybody should unite in mourning, in stopping and saying something evil

00:04:03.200 happened last week, something profoundly evil.

00:04:06.240 And we must unite against that.

00:04:08.360 And yet the left can't do that, right?

00:04:10.840 The left won't do that.

00:04:11.880 Instead, what did we see?

00:04:13.940 We saw many people cheering.

00:04:15.520 We saw people gloating and laughing and saying that he deserved it and taking words out of context

00:04:20.820 and saying that he was a fascist and that he called for violence and that he called for

00:04:25.440 hate.

00:04:25.860 None of those were true.

00:04:26.820 People are going and looking that up and I'm glad for that because people deserve to know

00:04:31.640 the truth.

00:04:32.520 And, you know, it's interesting because Charlie said the purpose of why he would go and have

00:04:36.420 those discussions is because he was trying to humanize the other side, trying to allow

00:04:40.720 people to get to know a conservative, right?

00:04:43.280 Charlie was a conventional conservative, a Christian conservative.

00:04:47.460 He holds the same beliefs that I believe.

00:04:49.380 He holds the same beliefs that millions and millions of Americans and Canadians hold.

00:04:54.720 Actually, the views that the vast majority of people in our civilization, in our history

00:04:59.740 have held, the views of Canada's founders, the views of America's founders, those were

00:05:04.860 Charlie's views.

00:05:05.740 And he was so good at articulating it.

00:05:08.020 He said the reason that he was there was because we have to be able to battle with words

00:05:11.700 and ideas to avoid battling with violence, battling with swords and bullets.

00:05:16.920 And yet that's what we have come to, right?

00:05:20.060 The left can't win arguments, Charlie would quit.

00:05:21.880 And so they resort to attacks and the attack on Charlie Kirk was not just an attack on

00:05:26.760 him.

00:05:27.220 It was an attack on all of us, on decency, on democracy and our ability to coexist.

00:05:32.860 It was a Charlie Hebdo moment and level of attack on freedom of speech. 0.51

00:05:38.380 And everyone should be able to acknowledge that.

00:05:40.780 They took out a generation's leader, the voice, the conservative voice of an entire generation.

00:05:46.060 And let's be clear, folks, this happened because of years and years and years of conditioning

00:05:53.080 by the mainstream media, by mainstream voices who call conservatives vile, vicious names.

00:05:59.080 They call all of us these names. 0.92

00:06:00.880 They call us fascists, Nazis, far right, radicals, racists, extremists, domestic terrorists, and 0.83

00:06:07.620 so on.

00:06:08.140 Every single conservative in the public square in the United States, and especially here in

00:06:13.500 Canada, have been hit with these inflammatory, hateful, and untrue smears.

00:06:18.300 They say these things about us over and over again.

00:06:20.800 I get called the same things that Charlie Kirk gets called.

00:06:23.860 The legacy media in the United States, and especially in Canada, they do the following

00:06:27.680 things.

00:06:28.580 They accuse conservatives of spreading hate, which is an accusation specifically designed

00:06:34.060 to make people hate conservatives, right?

00:06:35.680 They say we're spreading hate, they say that we're hateful, and the purpose of saying that 0.99

00:06:39.880 is to make people hate us.

00:06:42.640 What else do they do? 0.89

00:06:43.700 They insist that conservatives are fascists.

00:06:46.300 They say that our words are violent. 0.92

00:06:48.680 They accuse us of violence against trans people, against gay people, against indigenous people, 0.84

00:06:53.280 against black people, whatever.

00:06:54.620 They say that our criticisms of public policy are kin to violence.

00:06:59.900 And it turns out that when you say that, it enables actual violence against us, actual violence

00:07:07.440 against Charlie Kirk.

00:07:09.140 And then they play these six-degree games of separation where they try to link conservatives

00:07:13.460 to violent extremism on the political right, which, let me remind you, is a very minuscule

00:07:18.300 problem.

00:07:19.420 It's an almost non-existent problem.

00:07:21.020 But they pretend that it's the biggest problem, and they go out of their way to try to say,

00:07:25.500 oh, Pierre Polyev shook the hand of this guy who said this online, who believes this, who's

00:07:30.300 friends with that guy, so Pierre Polyev must be a fascist extremism.

00:07:34.500 They play these games, these sleight-of-hand games of six degrees of separation to make us

00:07:39.180 look like extremism.

00:07:40.120 And meanwhile, at the exact same time, they will shamelessly promote real violence and

00:07:47.280 real violent extremism on the political left, folks.

00:07:50.920 It's scary.

00:07:51.500 We're living in a time of political violence.

00:07:54.740 And so what can we do, right?

00:07:56.060 What can we do to combat this?

00:07:58.060 Well, we have to start telling the truth.

00:07:59.640 We have to use our voices.

00:08:00.860 We have to be braver and bolder than ever.

00:08:03.420 I personally look to Charlie.

00:08:05.200 Look, he's a bit younger than me.

00:08:06.780 I, when I first came on the scene, I had a hard time kind of taking him seriously because

00:08:11.980 he talked about Christianity so much.

00:08:14.640 He put that at the forefront of his views.

00:08:16.400 And for me, as a Canadian, I thought, you know, let's leave religion out of politics.

00:08:20.720 Let's stick to the political sphere.

00:08:22.340 But over the last few years, and in listening to Charlie, I think Charlie was right.

00:08:26.980 Like, our problems are beyond just political.

00:08:29.880 And I think that the answers have to come from a revival.

00:08:33.460 They are spiritual at the end of the day.

00:08:35.240 Our problems are spiritual.

00:08:36.820 And so we all need, we need a little bit more God in our lives and in our civilization.

00:08:42.600 One of the things I personally did over the weekend was I took my family to church.

00:08:46.700 We used to go to church every weekend.

00:08:48.540 We now have four kids.

00:08:49.400 It's really hard to load up four kids and get them out the door on a Sunday morning,

00:08:53.160 get them to sit still for a two-hour service, even though some of them go to Sunday school.

00:08:57.240 It's still hard, and it's easier just not to do it.

00:08:59.500 So we stopped going to church.

00:09:01.060 And we, my family and I, decided no more.

00:09:03.980 We went to church.

00:09:05.160 And let me just tell you, it was a wonderful experience.

00:09:08.040 Yes, it was a little hard getting the kids, getting everything organized.

00:09:10.960 But once we were there, what do you see when you go to church?

00:09:14.060 Young families, happy people, hopeful people, messages of community and togetherness and hope

00:09:20.800 and praying with your community.

00:09:22.500 And that is exactly what I needed.

00:09:24.680 And I think what the country needs.

00:09:27.120 Okay, I want to get into a little bit of the reaction to Charlie Cook.

00:09:29.980 Look, this is my first show since Charlie was assassinated.

00:09:33.400 And I want to go through the reaction from the media just to show you how totally insane

00:09:38.140 it was, right?

00:09:38.840 So here we'll start Wednesday afternoon, Wednesday evening, before Charlie was even dead.

00:09:43.720 What did the CBC do?

00:09:44.800 The first thing that they did was they put out an article, some of Charlie Kirk's most

00:09:49.340 controversial takes.

00:09:50.940 And so this is how it read.

00:09:52.440 Charlie Kirk, who died after being shot during an appearance at Utah Valley University.

00:09:56.120 Okay, he didn't just die, right?

00:09:58.280 He was murdered.

00:09:59.360 He was murdered in cold blood by someone with your leftist ideology, CBC.

00:10:03.340 So you didn't just say he died, right?

00:10:04.860 He died, maybe he got hit by a car or there was some kind of accident.

00:10:07.980 No, Charlie Kirk was murdered.

00:10:10.520 He was murdered by someone on your side. 0.56

00:10:13.160 Okay, Charlie Kirk, who died after being shot during an appearance at Utah Valley University

00:10:16.760 Wednesday, had a long history of contentious views and often corded controversy with statements

00:10:22.680 that seemed designed to provoke those who disagreed with him, right?

00:10:27.400 So what is the CBC doing?

00:10:28.800 They're sort of conditioning you to say, well, he was killed, but he had controversial views

00:10:33.920 and he corded the controversy.

00:10:35.780 And here are some examples of the absolute worst things that he said, right?

00:10:38.960 The man hadn't even died yet.

00:10:40.400 And the CBC were already justifying his murder and saying, well, he was controversial.

00:10:45.460 He was far right.

00:10:46.480 He was bad.

00:10:47.460 And therefore, he died. 0.91

00:10:49.160 He died.

00:10:49.920 He didn't get murdered.

00:10:50.660 He died.

00:10:51.540 That's the CBC.

00:10:52.160 That's mainstream in Canada.

00:10:54.420 Of course, there were also the sort of bottom-dwelling hard leftists.

00:10:58.420 And I'm going to try to demonstrate that there's actually not much of a difference between the

00:11:01.220 hard left in Canada and the mainstream.

00:11:03.520 This is a publication called Cult Montreal.

00:11:05.540 A lot of people rushed out to show how they get taxpayer subsidies and taxpayer dollars.

00:11:09.840 No surprise, every media outlet in Canada does.

00:11:12.420 All the mainstream media outlets does.

00:11:14.060 Not Juno News, not Turn North, not The Rebel, but everyone on the political left and political

00:11:18.160 center, all the mainstream legacy media, all get your taxpayer dollars.

00:11:21.060 Well, this is just one example from an organization called Cult Montreal, to hell with Charlie Kirk.

00:11:27.060 Again, this is published on Thursday, September 11th, the day after Charlie was murdered.

00:11:30.820 This is what the author writes.

00:11:32.900 Charlie Kirk died as he lived, promoting hateful myths about marginalized groups in society.

00:11:37.700 There's no excuse for political violence.

00:11:39.440 But Charlie Kirk is absolutely responsible for making political violence more likely in America.

00:11:44.820 You reap what you sow.

00:11:46.200 Okay?

00:11:46.640 So now you know exactly where they stand.

00:11:49.280 This is the mainstream view on the political left.

00:11:51.780 And again, I'll show you how the political left and the mainstream establishment center in Canada are the exact same thing.

00:11:57.960 Rachel Gilmour writes that this is what she writes shortly after Charlie's death.

00:12:03.760 I actually don't even think he had died at this point when she wrote this tweet on Wednesday afternoon.

00:12:09.360 She instantly, instantly hearing that someone had been assassinated for political speech in the United States of America.

00:12:15.460 She writes, terrified to think of how far-right fans of Kirk, aching for more violence, could very well turn this into an even more radicalizing moment.

00:12:27.080 Well, they now believe their fears have been proven right and feel they have the right to retaliate, regardless of who is actually behind the initial shooting.

00:12:35.860 So you see what she does.

00:12:37.340 She doesn't take even a moment, even a second, to observe the fact that someone on the right was murdered, right?

00:12:44.300 That there was political violence aimed towards a conservative.

00:12:48.460 Doesn't care about that.

00:12:49.540 Doesn't care at all.

00:12:50.620 What is Rachel Gilmour terrified of?

00:12:52.520 She's terrified to think of how Kirk's fans could turn this into a radicalizing moment.

00:12:59.360 So killing him wasn't a radicalizing moment.

00:13:01.880 That's nothing to fear.

00:13:02.960 Nothing to fear that someone would go and speak to students on campus and they would get shot in the neck for it.

00:13:09.160 What she fears is that people who like Kirk could get angry about this and that their fears could be proven right, that they had the right to retaliate.

00:13:19.820 So she's worried about right-wing violence, right?

00:13:21.620 She's watching left-wing violence pour out in front of her. 0.99

00:13:25.100 And what does she do? 0.94

00:13:26.220 She immediately thinks of right-wing violence, which is a figment of her imagination.

00:13:30.640 It doesn't actually exist.

00:13:32.280 Well, Rachel got a little bit of what was coming to her because some sleuths on the internet decided to take note of all the people who were celebrating Charlie Kirk's death.

00:13:41.580 And as you know, folks, it was far too many.

00:13:43.800 I believe the list has some 60,000 people on it.

00:13:46.760 Many of them saying far, far worse things than what Rachel did.

00:13:50.380 Celebrating, cheering, laughing, mocking, doing all kinds of absolutely despicable, anti-social, anti-civilization reactions on social media.

00:13:59.220 Some conservatives decided to create a database to try to shine light on the fact that there are horrible human beings in our society that live amongst us who would cheer on political violence.

00:14:11.140 Rachel's name got added to the list.

00:14:12.880 And so what happens?

00:14:14.100 Well, the entire media establishment rally around Rachel because Rachel's the true victim in all this.

00:14:19.780 Rachel's the true person that we should feel sympathy for.

00:14:22.600 Not Charlie Kirk, not his wife, and two very, very young children.

00:14:26.900 I have a three-year-old and a one-year-old just like Charlie does, and I can't imagine what his wife is going through.

00:14:31.800 I'll put it that way.

00:14:32.800 But no, the media establishment rally around Rachel Gilmore because poor, poor Rachel Gilmore is getting some pushback for her completely insensitive tweets. 1.00

00:14:43.500 So the amount of sympathy, I feel, for Rachel Gilmore is next to none.

00:14:48.720 But again, this is where we are, right?

00:14:52.180 People are more worried about a left-wing journalist out there basically doing her shtick where she's trying to get notoriety and fame over pointing at mainstream people and calling them radical.

00:15:06.460 That's what Rachel does. 1.00

00:15:07.220 She points to people like me, people like my husband, all of us here at Juno News, Kian Bexty.

00:15:11.600 She points to us and tries to make you hate us, try to make you think there's something wrong with us and say that we are extreme and we are dangerous.

00:15:19.400 And then when our followers say, what are you talking about?

00:15:22.480 You're wrong. 1.00

00:15:23.400 Shut up. 1.00

00:15:24.300 She plays a victim, crouches over and starts crying and talking about how she's scared. 1.00

00:15:28.800 She did the same thing with Charlie Kirk, except for it's not just our audience of, you know, Canadian conservatives saying, you know, shut up, Rachel.

00:15:36.060 Well, it's the entire American mainstream saying, don't do this.

00:15:41.540 Don't mock a man who's dying.

00:15:43.740 Don't try to flip the switch.

00:15:45.540 Let's actually focus on the real issue at hand, which is that the left murdered somebody.

00:15:50.320 And she's playing the victim.

00:15:51.700 And, of course, the legacy media are rallying around her.

00:15:55.160 OK, so those are the extreme voices, right?

00:15:56.820 Rachel Gilmore, Cult Montreal.

00:15:58.560 You've probably never heard of it, but it's a left-wing reg.

00:16:00.820 And the CBC.

00:16:01.960 That's the hard left.

00:16:03.440 But there isn't really a difference between the hard left and the media establishment.

00:16:07.620 I mean, you could say that the CBC is the media establishment.

00:16:09.980 It is the biggest recipient of taxpayer dollars, even though I think Canadians mostly realize that they exist on the fringe.

00:16:16.380 Well, this is something else that the CBC did the day after Charlie Kirk was murdered and assassinated. 0.89

00:16:21.900 They had a hate expert on, a woman named Barbara Perry, who came on and lied about Charlie and basically said, took his words out of context, said that he called for gay people to be executed, which is the most absurd thing ever. 0.79

00:16:37.200 Let's play that clip. 0.98

00:16:37.860 The language even that Charlie Kirk uses, vilifying particular groups, talking about the Democrats, for example, as, and I quote, standing for everything that God hates, claiming that queer people are defective and dangerous and should be executed. 0.89

00:17:01.200 I mean, that's sort of polarizing language that contributes to this environment. 0.96

00:17:05.200 Charlie Kirk never said that gay people were defective and need to be executed. 0.98

00:17:11.220 The CBC is lying, as usual. 0.99

00:17:13.540 You can head over to Juneau News.

00:17:14.880 My colleague debunked that entire statement. 0.98

00:17:17.520 So where did they get this idea that Charlie Kirk said that gay people need to be executed?

00:17:21.180 He was quoting Leviticus because a YouTuber who has a show dedicated to reading to little kids and teaching little kids or audiences, two and three year olds. 0.93

00:17:30.440 No, I don't let my children watch that kind of thing, but many, many parents do.

00:17:34.260 And so this left-wing YouTuber came out and said that conservatives should accept gay marriage because the Bible says, love thy neighbor like themselves.

00:17:43.020 Charlie Kirk hit back saying, are you sure you want to quote Leviticus?

00:17:46.700 Maybe you should read the entire book before you quote it out of context because it said a lot of other things, including a line saying that a man shall not lie with another man or he shall be stoned, 0.81

00:17:56.520 which is why they say that Charlie Kirk calls for the execution of gay people is so despicable, how they take him out of context.

00:18:03.920 They do this. 0.99

00:18:04.660 They lie about conservatives to make you hate them. 0.93

00:18:08.300 And then people, crazy people like the assassin in this story who is dating a trans man, a trans person, take those words literally and believe that they have the right to do what they did. 0.99

00:18:21.040 It is truly despicable. 0.59

00:18:21.900 So more from the CBC, it's not just their guests, it's not just their panelists who are totally lying about Charlie Kirk and being extreme.

00:18:29.760 It's actually their anchors and their journalists and their hosts as well.

00:18:32.940 So here is CBC anchor Andrew Nickel, and he called Charlie Kirk hateful.

00:18:37.200 Again, just hours after Charlie was murdered, the CBC is saying, well, he kind of deserved it, didn't he?

00:18:43.460 Let's play that clip.

00:18:44.080 Charlie Kirk did not encourage violence against groups of people.

00:19:07.260 Well, quite the opposite.

00:19:08.400 He wanted to have conversations with people.

00:19:10.660 He wanted to humanize the debate.

00:19:12.840 He wanted people to see what conservatives view.

00:19:15.880 And so saying that he had hateful things and that he called for violence against people is just not true.

00:19:20.320 It's incredibly reckless.

00:19:22.160 Let's play a clip from CTV.

00:19:24.240 This is how they covered the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

00:19:27.640 They wanted to point out that he was highly contentious and highly controversial.

00:19:32.300 Let's play that clip.

00:19:32.840 Charlie Kirk's death gets the death penalty.

00:19:36.560 Charlie Kirk had founded Turning Point USA back in 2012 and had turned it into a major political force, raising a lot of money.

00:19:44.500 He would typically go to campuses, universities and colleges and say, prove me wrong.

00:19:49.320 They would have debates about a whole bunch of different topics.

00:19:52.340 Charlie Kirk was considered to be a masterful debater.

00:19:54.640 But also, as I mentioned, highly controversial with views on race and on women and on the gay community that were highly, highly contentious.

00:20:07.100 Highly, highly contentious.

00:20:08.420 Let me tell you, folks, Charlie Kirk's views on race, women and the gay community are from the Bible.

00:20:14.060 His views are the same views that are held by Christians, by Catholics, by anybody who believes the Bible, by Jews.

00:20:21.040 And so to say that they were highly, highly contentious is naive to the basic principles of our society and the culture and where we are as a culture and as a society.

00:20:33.720 Yes, most people in Canada don't want to talk about religion.

00:20:36.740 They want that out of politics.

00:20:38.180 That's fine.

00:20:38.980 But the reality is that our society and our civilization are based on Christian values, Christian principles, and they're based on biblical values.

00:20:47.180 That's what Charlie pointed out.

00:20:48.600 That's what he said.

00:20:49.780 The Globe and Mail continues to smear against Charlie Kirk.

00:20:53.280 This is how they covered it.

00:20:54.800 Charlie Kirk's videos thrived on controversy as he used the manosphere playbook to reshape politics, says the headline in the Globe and Mail.

00:21:02.960 He used the manosphere.

00:21:04.260 They can't even get their phrases correct, right?

00:21:07.260 Charlie Kirk was a family man.

00:21:09.160 He promoted the idea of marriage and children and building a legacy.

00:21:13.920 And they just kind of group him together with the manosphere because what?

00:21:16.620 Because he's a man?

00:21:17.600 Great observation there.

00:21:19.400 Globe and Mail.

00:21:20.280 This was the story, though, that really, really upset me.

00:21:23.780 This is from CTV.

00:21:25.140 This is what the headline says.

00:21:27.060 Right-wing anger surges as Kirk's killing fuels calls for vengeance.

00:21:32.740 Right-wing anger surges as Kirk's killing fuels calls for vengeance.

00:21:38.180 And the story, it's not even worth reading the way that they phrase this, right?

00:21:43.500 So the story here isn't that the political left is violent and murdered our spokesperson and murdered our leader.

00:21:50.880 No, no, no.

00:21:51.240 The story is that right-wingers are angry and that we're calling for vengeance.

00:21:56.420 That's not what I saw, folks.

00:21:58.000 That's not what I saw.

00:21:59.000 I'll show you what I saw.

00:22:00.220 This is the reality of this clip is going viral on TikTok and social media of the difference between what right-wing grief looks like versus what left-wing grief looks like.

00:22:11.180 Let's play that clip.

00:22:11.900 Amazing grace, how sweet a smile.

00:22:23.300 That saved a wretch like me.

00:22:33.980 I once was lost, but now I'm found.

00:22:44.300 So what do conservatives do when they kill our leader?

00:22:57.980 We pray.

00:22:59.000 We gather.

00:23:00.140 We remember his legacy.

00:23:01.440 We have vigils.

00:23:02.300 We light candles.

00:23:03.420 We hold hands.

00:23:04.080 We pray and we cry.

00:23:05.220 We weep for Charlie.

00:23:06.060 What does the left do when someone dies, wasn't even a leader?

00:23:11.180 They go and riot.

00:23:12.480 They cause violence. 0.98

00:23:13.620 They kill people.

00:23:14.680 That is the difference between the left and the right.

00:23:17.440 It isn't a battle of left and right anymore, folks.

00:23:19.700 It is a battle of good versus evil.

00:23:21.860 This is what I wrote on X about it.

00:23:24.260 I said it isn't just Rachel Gilmore and cult Montreal.

00:23:26.820 It's the entire Canadian media establishment.

00:23:29.200 They are bigots. 0.99

00:23:30.480 They hate Christians. 1.00

00:23:31.540 They loathe conservatives. 1.00

00:23:32.560 They promote hate and lies about us.

00:23:35.320 They exist in the illiberal woke fringes of society where our words are violent and their

00:23:40.460 violence is justified. 1.00

00:23:42.300 They ignore the cold blood and assassid, a fellow traveler fueled by their cultish ideology, 0.82

00:23:46.880 and they focus on our grief, calling our vigils anger and celebrations of Charlie's

00:23:52.320 life and legacy vengeance.

00:23:54.240 The Canadian media establishment is the most serious threat to our country and our future.

00:23:58.400 We cannot stop until every Canadian knows this truth and sees this light.

00:24:01.920 That is why I do what I do day in and day out.

00:24:03.800 That is why I started Juno News.

00:24:05.540 That is why I continue to podcast.

00:24:08.100 You know, I started my career doing something very similar to what Charlie Kirk did.

00:24:12.440 I worked for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

00:24:14.380 I wrote a book called Generation Screwed.

00:24:16.080 I traveled across the country and spoke to college students, universities all over the country.

00:24:21.420 I spent months traveling the country, going from school to school, speaking to students

00:24:26.140 and talking to them.

00:24:27.360 I wasn't as good at it as Charlie.

00:24:28.820 I didn't have huge crowds of people, but I went and did it nonetheless.

00:24:32.420 And we have to double down our resolve.

00:24:34.920 We can't be scared.

00:24:36.020 We have to go and we have to continue to push our message of faith and freedom and family

00:24:40.620 and not cower.

00:24:42.600 That's what they want us to do.

00:24:43.900 I want to share this post from Elon Musk because this is exactly what the media do,

00:24:47.760 right?

00:24:48.300 So Elon shows a post of a university teacher saying they're all Nazis, a TV with a host

00:24:53.780 saying they're all Nazis, a rock star on stage saying they're all Nazis.

00:24:57.580 And then a man with a rifle saying they're all Nazis. 0.87

00:25:00.220 That's exactly right.

00:25:01.040 That's exactly what has happened.

00:25:04.120 And we have to call it out.

00:25:05.740 We have to put a stop for it.

00:25:07.260 News from Parliament yesterday.

00:25:09.120 As you know, Parliament resumed.

00:25:10.880 And it turns out that the Liberals blocked a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk in Parliament's.

00:25:16.040 Liberals reportedly shut down a Conservative push for a unanimous resolution condemning political

00:25:20.640 violence.

00:25:21.500 For a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk in the House of Commons Monday, according to a confidential

00:25:26.260 source, this is Juno News reporting, the source said Conservative MPs attempted to gain agreement

00:25:31.180 with Liberal colleagues for a formal moment of silence and statement ahead of the return

00:25:36.680 to Parliament.

00:25:37.540 But the Liberals refused to cooperate, as anyone surprised.

00:25:40.960 The Conservative tried to get an agreement before today's session and were told it wouldn't

00:25:45.760 be allowed.

00:25:46.220 The confidential source added, well, Conservative MP Rachel Thomas did deliver a beautiful,

00:25:51.940 heartfelt tribute to Charlie Kirk in the House, promoting a standing ovation.

00:25:56.480 Let's play that clip.

00:25:58.500 Charlie Kirk was an outspoken advocate for faith, family and freedom.

00:26:02.820 Many disagreed with him.

00:26:04.140 Some were offended.

00:26:05.720 Tragically, on September 10th, he was assassinated in an attempt to silence his voice.

00:26:10.760 As we grapple with our personal response to this, may we honour, be honourable in our actions.

00:26:16.980 May we fiercely defend the right of our opponents to speak freely.

00:26:20.720 And may we join our hearts with Charlie's family, his wife Erica and his two young children.

00:26:26.220 Rest in peace.

00:26:32.400 Well, good for the Liberals to give a standing ovation, but I don't understand why they couldn't

00:26:37.420 have given him a moment of silence as well.

00:26:39.740 Well, Albertans showed up in droves to pay their respects to Charlie Kirk and for a tribute

00:26:45.300 to his life.

00:26:46.380 So a Calgary vigil draws thousands according to the Western Standard.

00:26:50.220 Many of these clips were going viral.

00:26:52.100 Thousands of people gathered outside City Hall in Calgary on Sunday for a candlelit vigil

00:26:56.380 in honour of Charlie Kirk.

00:26:57.820 The event drew a large crowd of supporters, families, community members who came together

00:27:01.280 to reflect, listen, speeches and share a moment of silence.

00:27:05.400 Look at that beautiful, beautiful crowd.

00:27:09.220 And on top of that, we had a concert in Edmonton.

00:27:13.460 So country singer Morgan Wallen, alongside tens of thousands of fans in liberal Edmonton,

00:27:19.340 also paid their tributes to Charlie Kirk, sent prayers to his wife Erica and their two small

00:27:24.800 children.

00:27:25.820 Let's play that clip.

00:27:27.780 It's been hitting me harder in the last couple of days, and I just wanted to let Erica Kirk

00:27:31.820 know that me and my family are singing prayers our way.

00:27:35.400 And to that, I also wrote this on Axe.

00:27:41.700 I said Charlie Kirk is mainstream.

00:27:43.460 CBC, Globe and Mail, Rachel Gilmore, etc.

00:27:45.560 They are the radical extremists.

00:27:47.400 Make no mistake, this is our turning point.

00:27:49.660 As you can see, people feel it.

00:27:52.560 People out there see that a mainstream conservative voice, someone who has the same views as just

00:27:58.440 about every Christian out there, was assassinated, and that many on the left celebrated that, 0.98

00:28:03.780 and that many on the left and many in the mainstream and the mainstream media continue

00:28:06.900 to demonize.

00:28:07.600 People are noticing.

00:28:08.580 People see that, and they're looking around, and they're saying something is wrong here.

00:28:12.980 Something is wrong that the left is not showing the type of grace and response as they should.

00:28:18.060 And I think it's a radicalizing moment.

00:28:19.780 I think it's turning many, many people against those institutions and putting them, letting

00:28:25.460 Charlie win, letting people see what Charlie had to say, and that this is a moment of change.

00:28:32.020 Okay, I want to take a minute to talk about something a little personal.

00:28:35.520 This is related to everything I've been talking about on the show.

00:28:38.060 But Wednesday was a particularly hard day for all of us, but for me, it was a day of mixed 1.00

00:28:43.100 emotions because on Wednesday, shortly before Charlie Kirk was assassinated, it was announced

00:28:48.660 actually that my husband had resigned from his job at Shopify.

00:28:52.280 So those of you who know, I've talked about it a little bit on the show, but my husband

00:28:55.440 was the chief operating officer for Shopify, which is Canada's most exciting company.

00:29:00.080 It's a great company.

00:29:00.880 I love what they do.

00:29:01.920 They enable entrepreneurs to put their business online, give them tools to succeed.

00:29:06.660 The world needs more entrepreneurs.

00:29:08.420 Shopify does an incredible job at that.

00:29:09.680 I was very proud of my husband's work with that company.

00:29:12.120 Well, on Wednesday, he announced that he was leaving Shopify and that he was moving to a

00:29:16.340 company called Opendoor.

00:29:18.140 Opendoor is on a mission to try to get as many people to be able to buy homes as possible.

00:29:23.340 They're creating new financial tools, using AI to make it easier and more affordable for

00:29:27.760 people to buy and own home.

00:29:30.140 It's an amazing company.

00:29:30.900 I'm very proud of my husband.

00:29:32.440 So he's now the CEO of Opendoor.

00:29:34.960 And this is how the Globe and Mail, Canada's reputable publication, publication of record,

00:29:41.920 the Globe and Mail, this is how they covered the news that my husband was moving.

00:29:46.440 Jobs says, Shopify chief operating officer is leaving the company.

00:29:49.840 Let me just read a little bit from this Globe and Mail article.

00:29:53.120 Shopify chief operating officer is leaving the company.

00:29:55.380 Shopify Inc.

00:29:56.480 Chief operating officer and vice president of product.

00:29:58.780 Kaz Najatin is leaving the company to become a chief executive officer of San Francisco-based

00:30:03.400 real estate company, Opendoor Technologies, Inc.

00:30:05.680 So you would assume that the Globe and Mail in a business report, right?

00:30:08.940 This isn't opinion journalism.

00:30:10.480 This isn't even a woke political reporter.

00:30:12.200 This is a business report written by business reporter, Irene Gallia.

00:30:17.220 What does she focus on in the story about my husband, Kaz?

00:30:20.300 Does she talk about his career, his accomplishments, maybe a little bit about Opendoor and what they

00:30:24.860 do?

00:30:25.180 Maybe a bit about his accomplishments at Shopify.

00:30:27.340 After all, since Kaz was promoted to COO, I think the company has tripled in size and

00:30:32.320 has had tremendous growth.

00:30:34.020 But no, no.

00:30:34.660 What does she focus on?

00:30:35.940 Let me read a little bit more from this Globe and Mail article.

00:30:39.020 Aside from his work at Shopify, Mr. Najatian has frequently gained attention for his association

00:30:44.480 with True North, a right-wing Canadian media website.

00:30:47.520 In 2017, he and his wife, former Toronto Sun columnist Candace Malcolm, relaunched True

00:30:54.000 North, which had been established in 1994 as a charity to welcome British immigrants.

00:30:58.500 Mr. Najatian serves as a board member.

00:31:00.600 In 2024, True North published and subsequently removed an interview with the founder of Proud

00:31:05.380 Boys, which Public Safety Canada describes as a neo-fascist terrorist organization associated

00:31:11.020 with white supremacist ideologies.

00:31:13.480 After reporting by news organization Press Progress, True North continues to operate as

00:31:18.460 a charity in 2023, registering $2.3 million in revenue and $2.2 million in expenses, of

00:31:24.120 which 90% were used for charitable programs, according to the Canadian Revenue Agency's

00:31:28.820 listing.

00:31:29.900 In early 2025, Shopify shut down teams aimed at supporting Black, Indigenous, and female entrepreneurs.

00:31:36.540 These teams have reported to Mr. Najatian since 2024.

00:31:40.060 The logic has reported.

00:31:41.220 Okay, so it's a 15-paragraph story about Kaz and his career change, and they dedicate a

00:31:47.800 full five paragraphs to smearing him and linking him to fascism, terrorism, and white supremacy.

00:31:55.520 This is what the legacy media does.

00:31:57.700 This is what they do.

00:31:59.240 A businessman, someone who is a leader in tech.

00:32:02.400 This should be an incredible Canadian success story.

00:32:05.360 My husband Kaz is an immigrant.

00:32:06.840 He moved to Canada when he was 12.

00:32:08.400 He fled fascism and war and oppression in Iran and moved to Canada, where he found a

00:32:14.980 safe haven with his family.

00:32:16.300 They had no money.

00:32:17.340 They had no family connections.

00:32:18.860 They had no status.

00:32:19.900 And he rose from living in a small, slummy apartment in North York.

00:32:25.420 He went to Queen's Commerce.

00:32:26.900 He went to U of T Law.

00:32:28.340 He started a company, an Ottawa-based, a Waterloo-based tech company.

00:32:32.800 He rose to become the COO of Shopify, and he's now the CEO of a publicly traded fintech company.

00:32:38.680 And what do they do?

00:32:39.920 They spend five paragraphs trying to plant the idea in the mind of the reader that he

00:32:44.720 is somehow an evil, dangerous conservative, that he's a fascist, that he's somehow connected 0.98

00:32:49.740 to white supremacy and neo-Nazis and terrorism. 0.99

00:32:54.480 This is what the legacy media does, right?

00:32:56.700 They put together, they weave together these half-truths, they pick, they lift stories

00:33:01.120 from press progress.

00:33:01.940 Press progress is a disreputable rag.

00:33:04.700 They lie.

00:33:05.400 They lie about conservatives for the sole goal of making people hate conservatives.

00:33:09.560 And they're not a serious publication.

00:33:12.240 But the Globe and Mail gives some credibility by copying their reporting and not even verifying.

00:33:16.820 I can go through this report about CAS and the Globe and Mail line by line and point

00:33:20.760 out the many, many, many lies, right?

00:33:23.780 It's not true that my husband was a co-founder of True North.

00:33:26.400 I started True North by myself.

00:33:28.100 We didn't start it in 2017.

00:33:29.760 I started it in 2016.

00:33:31.780 And there's record of that.

00:33:33.000 You can go and see interviews that I did about True North back in 2016 announcing it,

00:33:37.880 right?

00:33:38.060 This whole nonsense about how we relaunched a charity to take over from 1994.

00:33:44.720 This is just, it's full of half-truths, right?

00:33:48.220 But they don't care about the facts.

00:33:49.720 They don't care about the truth, right?

00:33:51.160 This idea that somehow the thing that everyone should know about True North is that we had

00:33:56.380 an interview with the founder of the Proud Boys, which public safety describes as neo-fascist,

00:34:01.200 that's totally irrelevant to CAS.

00:34:03.040 That's totally irrelevant to his career.

00:34:05.580 But again, the purpose is they want to plant this idea in your head that the right are dangerous,

00:34:11.000 that anyone who is tangentially related, connected to conservatism, deserves loathe, 0.97

00:34:18.020 deserves to be hated. 0.98

00:34:19.560 And that is what the legacy media does.

00:34:20.960 They do it over and over and over again.

00:34:24.000 And we can't stand for this, folks.

00:34:25.820 We have to fight back against this.

00:34:28.080 We can't allow them to sit here and smear us because, like I said off the top, they point

00:34:32.640 to us, they call us fascists, and some people take them seriously.

00:34:36.360 I'm going to read one more tweet to end off the show here.

00:34:39.020 This is what I wrote just a few minutes ago.

00:34:41.700 Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a radical leftist ideologue.

00:34:44.860 That has now been proven.

00:34:45.780 That is a fact.

00:34:46.840 He murdered Charlie because he believed that Charlie was a fascist.

00:34:50.680 He believed Charlie was a fascist because mainstream voices in politics, media, and the culture

00:34:55.080 called Charlie a fascist over and over and over.

00:34:58.720 Not just a handful of woke journalists, but the entire media establishment.

00:35:03.020 For a decade now, they push this idea that our words are violence and their violence is justified.

00:35:07.980 And let's be clear, it's not just Charlie.

00:35:10.840 The media smears the entire right with these absurd labels. 0.95

00:35:14.700 Fascist, Nazi, far-right, radical, racist, extremist, domestic terrorist, and so on.

00:35:20.120 Every single conservative in the public square in both the United States and especially here 0.98

00:35:24.400 in Canada has been hit with these inflammatory, hateful, and untrue smears.

00:35:29.240 We are living in a time of political violence, and the media is to blame.

00:35:34.220 And that is why I will double, I will triple my efforts to do everything in my power to destroy

00:35:39.340 the legacy media in Canada.

00:35:40.860 Like I said at the top, they are a threat.

00:35:43.440 They are a threat to our country and to our future, and they have to be stopped.

00:35:47.220 I hope you will join us on this mission.

00:35:49.500 That is why we're here.

00:35:50.240 We want to replace the CBC.

00:35:51.540 We want to replace the Globe and Mail.

00:35:53.040 They shouldn't get away with the kinds of smears that they put towards good people like Charlie Kirk.

00:35:58.560 Good people, like my husband, who did nothing wrong other than be married to me.

00:36:03.640 And he's out there building a company and working on tech and business, and he has nothing to

00:36:08.480 do with politics, and yet they try to pull him in, try to smear him, try to discredit me. 0.78

00:36:13.620 It's disgusting.

00:36:14.800 And again, we shouldn't stand for it.

00:36:16.720 All right, folks, say a prayer for Charlie Kirk, his beautiful family, his beautiful wife

00:36:20.820 who are struggling right now.

00:36:21.860 And again, I hope that this movement just continues to grow, that more and more young

00:36:26.660 people get exposed to Charlie Kirk's amazing videos, and that he continues to change hearts

00:36:31.500 and minds in death as he did in life.

00:36:33.680 All right, folks, that's all the time we have for today.

00:36:35.160 Thank you so much for tuning in.

00:36:36.520 I'm Candice Malcolm.

00:36:36.980 This is the Candice Malcolm Show.

00:36:37.840 Thank you, and God bless.
