Hey, everybody. How's it going? Thanks for joining me this afternoon. I've got a great stream with a great guest that I think you're really going to enjoy.

00:00:35.600
All right, guys. So we are continuing to discuss the ongoing events surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination.
00:00:42.840
Obviously, this is the most important story going on right now and could be one of the most important stories of our lifetimes.
00:00:50.360
I think that's not really an overstatement at all. And so I really think that it is worth keeping an eye on what is going on and the different developments.
00:00:58.280
One of the things that I was surprised about yesterday is when the inevitable announcement, one I think we all knew was coming,
00:01:04.340
that the motivation behind the shooting was very likely connected to trans ideology,
00:01:09.060
that the assassin, alleged assassin in question, had been living with a trans woman
00:01:16.360
and was obviously very sympathetic to the attitude that many trans people have towards Charlie Kirk and his opposition to trans ideology.
00:01:25.640
That really made it clear, I think, ultimately, that this is now one of many shootings that has been inspired by the obsession with trans ideology.
00:01:34.200
And this is driving people towards violence. They're being radicalized online in places like Discord around this.
00:01:40.920
So we're going to be talking around the trans angle here and why this is so important in this crime.
00:01:46.960
I also want to discuss announcements we got from J.D. Vance and Stephen Miller on what we're going to be doing in response to this.
00:01:54.160
They both came out with very strong statements, which I was very heartened to see.
00:01:57.500
I think everyone was waiting for that strong statement saying we will do something.
00:02:01.880
This is not both sides. There is real repercussions coming and we finally got it.
00:02:06.600
So we're going to be talking about all that. Joining me today to discuss this is Kevin Dolan.
00:02:11.160
He is the head of the exit group. Kevin, thank you so much for coming on, man.
00:02:17.380
Absolutely. We're going to dive into this issue. But before we do, let's hear from Share the Arrows.
00:02:22.100
You know, we spend a lot of time here talking about what's going on in culture and politics, the battles, the noise, the craziness.
00:02:28.900
But here's something different. If you're a woman listening right now or if there's a woman in your life that you care about, you need to hear this.
00:02:35.040
It's called Share the Arrows and it's happening on October 11th in Dallas, Texas.
00:02:39.600
It's hosted by Blaze TV's own Allie Beth Stuckey and is designed to encourage, equip and speak truth into the lives of women who are trying to stand firm in this world.
00:02:48.440
This is a day full of worship, teaching and real conversations.
00:02:52.100
So if you're a woman who's been craving encouragement and biblical truth, this is for you.
00:02:57.120
And if you're a husband or a dad or a brother listening, think about your wife, daughter or sister who needs this.
00:03:03.380
In a culture that's constantly pulling in the wrong direction, this is a chance to stop, reset and get grounded in biblical truth.
00:03:12.960
And yes, VIP options are still available. That's ShareTheArrows.com.
00:03:17.040
All right, Kevin, before we dive into the new revelations and the implications that trans ideology and its effect on terrorism has for the wider American body politic, I want to play this video from Sam Hyde.
00:03:31.860
A lot of people, of course, think of Sam Hyde as a comedian.
00:03:34.900
But in these moments, Sam also has very important insights.
00:03:42.280
But I think it's just worth playing in its totality because it is so powerful.
00:04:18.040
And this is their reaction when you are killed.
00:04:25.760
This is the joy they feel when your sister is raped.
00:04:32.400
When your children are castrated, brainwashed to hate you.
00:04:38.660
This is their ecstasy when the floor of the subway car is awash in your blood.
00:05:00.260
They can't help themselves because they're so ugly and so low
00:05:06.860
that the only joy they can experience, the only good that they can envision
00:05:12.420
is to take something beautiful or innocent down to their level.
00:05:19.300
And when they can't do it, the next best thing is blood.
00:05:28.940
And these are his children who will never be able to hug their dad.
00:05:39.660
And these are the people who smugly revel in this.
00:05:56.360
This is the fall of ancient Rome that we are living through currently.
00:06:03.040
And what happens in the next two weeks is going to determine the future of mankind.
00:06:14.320
So, a very powerful statement from Sam Hyde here.
00:06:20.380
I think just cutting to the core of why this impacts people so deeply.
00:06:27.340
We'll get on to Charlie and his qualities and why he was such an effective actor
00:06:32.520
and all the other things that have, you know, the praise that has been heaped upon him
00:06:36.680
very correctly for his role as a father and as a role model and as a leader.
00:06:41.620
But I think what Sam is hitting here and why these two events with the murder of Irina in North Carolina
00:06:50.440
and then the murder of Charlie Kirk, the reason these things back-to-back are so powerful
00:06:58.700
is there's no way you can't see yourself in these, especially in the murder of Charlie Kirk.
00:07:06.040
He held the politics of your grandfather, of your dad, of your uncle.
00:07:10.340
He is the kind of guy who feels like you could have been on the football team with him,
00:07:16.860
that he could leave, you know, be down the street and lead the Boy Scout troop.
00:07:22.300
You know, that's who Charlie Kirk feels like to the average person.
00:07:26.500
And the fact that so many people are now celebrating his death and clearly wishing for more
00:07:32.320
is, I think, the reason that this has cut everybody to their core.
00:07:36.780
Absolutely. It's all of the, there's like five bullet points, right, that all of the leftists
00:07:49.220
are saying, like, this is why he had it coming. And every single one of those, you know, you can
00:07:54.980
see how they are contextualized. There's a great thread somebody posted, like, here's what he's
00:07:59.680
actually saying in all of these bullet points. And some of them he was just completely misquoted
00:08:05.040
to say the opposite of what he was saying. But he was up against fundamental, factual questions
00:08:17.820
that, about which there can be no compromise. The trans issue being obviously the most salient
00:08:26.460
in terms of who killed him and why. And the reason I bring that up is to say that much of how he is
00:08:37.600
being praised, at which I agree with the spirit of it, but it is sort of painting us into this corner,
00:08:46.420
which is to say that, like, what makes us better than our enemies is that we don't fight,
00:08:53.120
we talk. All we do is talk. We're all about dialogue. Charlie was all about dialogue.
00:08:58.880
And that, I feel, misrepresents his work. And when you are in our position and the truth is the only
00:09:08.140
advantage you have, failing to completely tell the truth is always a strategic error.
00:09:14.640
Because Charlie was, yes, I think he hoped to persuade every single person he talked to. He
00:09:24.420
wanted to come to a peaceful accord with everyone. He wanted to untangle the knot for people and help
00:09:31.760
them see. But he was also one of the most effective political organizers of our generation. And he didn't
00:09:38.820
get that way by waiting for 100% consensus. He didn't get that way by expecting or needing
00:09:47.480
to convince absolutely everyone. He wanted to get Trump elected. He wanted to get mass deportations.
00:09:57.100
He wanted to get all these things that are still hotly, hotly contested. Because I think Charlie also
00:10:05.380
recognized that many of these questions are irreducible, irreconcilable. We just have to win.
00:10:11.900
And I think that his assassination is showing us the extent to which, because he did, he framed
00:10:20.540
every single one of these issues in the most sympathetic and the most universalizable way you
00:10:26.640
possibly could. He was extending as much of an olive branch as you could possibly extend to people who
00:10:35.040
have these beliefs about trans ideation, trans ideology, without compromising on the fundamental
00:10:42.940
question, which is, this is not a real thing. And so he came up to the limits of dialogue.
00:10:52.760
And, and he found those limits. And that's, that's sort of where we are. We are at the limit of dialogue.
00:10:59.320
No, I think it's really important because as you said, a lot of people are framing this
00:11:04.360
as well, Charlie Kirk, you know, he only believed in free speech and he never believed in political
00:11:11.340
power or, you know, it was all about the marketplace of ideas. But actually, if you look at Charlie Kirk,
00:11:16.220
that's not the case. As you say, he was pushing some on some third rails in the United States that
00:11:24.200
were probably not just going to get solved by talking it out. I mean, this is a guy who literally
00:11:29.460
was on Doug Wilson's podcast like a week before he was shot talking about how the Civil Rights Act has
00:11:35.880
to go. Yeah, that's not, it's not exactly squishy, middle of the road, Mitt Romney rhetoric, you know,
00:11:43.140
all immigration, he said, legal and illegal needs to be stopped. Yeah, these are not, these are not
00:11:48.580
positions that were acceptable to be spoken out loud 10 years ago in the Republican Party.
00:11:56.500
And Charlie Kirk made it clear in one of his very last posts on Twitter, that the left needed to be
00:12:03.960
shut down, that it's assassination culture, that it's violence culture was an imminent threat to the
00:12:10.420
people of the United States. So we don't have to guess about what Charlie Kirk would think about the plan
00:12:15.460
to silence the people who are currently cheering for his death. I don't think we have to guess
00:12:21.200
what Charlie Kirk believed about shutting down Antifa, shutting down BLM, shutting down the NGOs
00:12:27.100
that are funding them. We do not have to guess about what he thought about this. What would his
00:12:32.360
ideology tell him to do? What would his beliefs and principles lead him to? What would be the conclusion
00:12:37.000
that he would draw? He told us, and his conclusion was, the left needs to be shut down, that these
00:12:43.580
terrorists need to be shut down, that these people need to be removed from polite society and their
00:12:48.120
ability to inflict violence on the body politic needs to end. And so I think that's a great point
00:12:54.800
that while I will continue to say that his manner, his way of going about persuasion and interacting
00:13:03.860
with other people was far gentler and far more compassionate and far more in the spirit of debate
00:13:12.040
and trying to convince people with words, Charlie was aware that there were limits to these strategies.
00:13:19.280
And while he was pushing as hard as he could to resolve these issues in the manner that he thought
00:13:23.520
was best, he was not unaware and in fact had explicitly told people on his Twitter account that
00:13:30.860
this was not going to be the only way that we had to deal with this problem.
00:13:34.220
Yeah. And the reason that you want to be maximally persuasive and to generate maximal consensus,
00:13:42.960
you do actually. And the reason that you want that is so that the implementation of the changes that
00:13:51.360
need to be made, you're not going to wait for a hundred percent consensus, but they can be orderly,
00:13:56.400
they can be broadly understood, they can be legal and lawful, and they can be, you know, performed by the
00:14:02.360
legitimate authorities, which means that they can be so, so, so much more peaceful in the broad sense.
00:14:10.220
They will involve coercion, right? They will involve people being made to do things they don't want to
00:14:15.860
do, like stop talking about murdering people, stop planning to murder people. Those people have to be
00:14:23.480
stopped with force, but you can, you can get maximum consensus. So that is done in an orderly and illegal
00:14:33.380
and a lawful way, which is what we are all hoping and praying comes out of this from the Trump
00:14:39.080
administration, which is the will to make sure that all of this necessary work of, of, of, of putting
00:14:48.740
these things down, uh, can be done under color of law. And in a way that the, the, the body politic will
00:14:57.980
And I really think that's the free, the, the critical phrase there under the color of law, right? That we are the
00:15:04.560
side of order. We are the side of authority and hierarchy. And that means that we have a certain
00:15:11.540
understanding about how we should go about this. It doesn't mean it shouldn't happen, but it needs to happen in a
00:15:17.260
certain order so that people will accept its legitimacy. And that is the critical part here.
00:15:22.920
And the worry was that that would not happen, right? That was the largest worry is what happens
00:15:28.000
if the civil magistrate does not recognize his duty to bring swift justice in this moment and the scope
00:15:35.520
at which just justice must, must be rendered, right? That is why I have from the moment I heard about
00:15:41.440
this been advocating for a full send destruction of the leftist terror network at every level,
00:15:48.600
but always under the color of law. The spiral of violence is something that I think is going to be
00:15:55.860
completely devastating if it occurs. And the best way to avoid that is with a powerful response from
00:16:03.020
the legitimate governing authority. So that said, we're going to get to the videos of Stephen Miller
00:16:09.400
and J.D. Vance talking about how that needs to occur and how that will be done. But before we do,
00:16:16.260
I wanted to talk about, of course, the trans issue. So we knew that anti-fascist ideology,
00:16:23.580
Antifa ideology, was part of the motivation here. This was obviously scrawled on the bullets of this
00:16:30.000
guy. He's wearing DSA t-shirts, member of the Democratic Socialist Party, or at least supporting the
00:16:36.040
Democratic Socialist Party. This is a guy who was very obviously active in radical left-wing discord
00:16:42.900
groups. And we had a feeling that it was likely linked to trans ideology because Charlie Kirk had
00:16:50.240
been so loud about that issue. And literally while he was being shot, he was discussing the issue of
00:16:57.180
the dangers that came with trans people owning firearms, being allowed to operate in society,
00:17:03.480
allowing this ideology to continue. But now we know that in fact, the alleged assassin was living
00:17:10.720
with a troon and that that was very likely a big part of why he was motivated to do what he was doing.
00:17:22.780
Now, I made a post on Twitter about the concept of Tranniseries. You and I are very online,
00:17:28.420
so we know this terminology. I didn't coin this, but it bops around in certain circles.
00:17:34.720
And the explanation of the Tranniserie is the idea that this is the new age Democratic left-wing
00:17:40.620
Janissary. For those who don't know, this is what the Safavids did to Christian children. They drafted
00:17:47.860
them. Basically, first they were stolen. Some parents would surrender them thinking that it would give
00:17:52.800
them some kind of social benefit, if that sounds familiar, trans ideology for you. But a lot of
00:17:58.480
them had their Christian children stolen and forcibly converted to Christianity down to the actual
00:18:05.140
castration of these boys to make sure that they could not have children and would only be loyal
00:18:13.520
to this ideology. And they became the elite soldiers of that Islamic caliphate. And so in many ways,
00:18:21.340
the trans ideology does the same thing. It drives children away from their parents. Some parents
00:18:28.560
will offer their children up as sacrifices to this ideology to receive the political benefits. But
00:18:36.020
many of them have their children stolen by the courts or just by this ideology. Obviously,
00:18:40.880
the children, their goal is to castrate themselves. They give themselves over completely this ideology,
00:18:46.620
and they have to, in order to validate this identity, live in a fantasy world. And a fantasy
00:18:51.620
world is built entirely on hatred for other people. They need to kill Republicans. They need to kill
00:18:58.700
conservatives because those people are coming for this new identity that defines their life. And so
00:19:05.240
these people become the foot soldiers of the Democratic Party. And make no mistake, it is the Democratic
00:19:11.440
Party they are a part of. They are the violent terrorist arm of the Democratic Party, and they
00:19:16.420
are being bred on purpose for the reason of deploying them on the enemies of the left.
00:19:23.640
And so I think it's just really critical that people understand that, yes, we need to go after all
00:19:29.140
these other networks and everything, but also at the core of this problem is an ideology that is
00:19:34.220
destroying the children of this country and has to come to an end. So it means we need to not just get rid
00:19:40.360
of the funding and all this stuff. We need to ban trans surgery, or I should just say,
00:19:45.800
transmutilation should be illegal across the United States. We can make a constitutional amendment
00:19:51.600
if we need to avoid any kind of legal restrictions or whatever, but this needs to happen, and it needs
00:19:57.440
to happen now. Yeah, the commonality that I see, and there was some question about, was it an older
00:20:07.400
fellow? Was it a trans person? We were a little bit surprised that it was a chaser. It wasn't
00:20:12.720
somebody who was actually trans themselves currently. But the commonality I see is that
00:20:19.820
the radicalized trans shooters and the radicalized, like the guy with the dyed hair who tried to shoot
00:20:28.140
at Trump, a lot of these people are people who have made irreversible decisions in the light of this
00:20:40.360
ideology, whether it's about mutilating themselves, mutilating a child, or just sort of getting to the
00:20:47.880
end of the road of the progressive life path. And the only way that they can confront
00:20:59.640
the horror of that is to sort of change what it means in retrospect. And that means that
00:21:11.580
in a way, the upsetting of the consensus on trans issues, or the sort of relitigating of the liberal
00:21:23.140
boomer hippie, you know, worldview, relitigating that sort of destroys the whole meaning that they
00:21:33.880
ascribe to their life, their sense that they were on the right side of history. And for the trans in
00:21:40.400
particular, it's not only that, it's, it's, it's that they've, they've, yes, they've made these
00:21:44.700
irreversible, you can hear about trans moms, and just the bloodthirst from these people about
00:21:50.680
this issue with respect to JK Rowling, or any of these other sort of outspoken anti trans activists.
00:21:57.400
It's because they can't confront what they've done. There's no confronting what they've done.
00:22:07.940
what needs to happen to a kid who, you know, for whatever reason, tells their parents, you know,
00:22:18.720
I think I'm a girl. And it's like, either, like, if they're right, then failing to medically intervene
00:22:29.160
is to consign this innocent child to a lifetime of alienation and suffering. Right? And if they're
00:22:39.000
wrong, then obviously, to mutilate this child is this unbelievable crime. And it's similarly
00:22:44.060
existential and irreversible. And this is, and now this gets to this question of dialogue,
00:22:52.260
what is there to talk about, with respect to this issue? It does not have any clinical etiology
00:23:00.760
that you can point to, it doesn't have symptoms, where you can say, that's what you know, we can
00:23:06.640
we can confirm, or more importantly, disconfirm trans ideation based on, you know, they don't act like a
00:23:14.040
woman, or they don't dress a certain way, or like, like, queer theory requires them to reject all of
00:23:19.300
that. It's this completely invisible thing. And you can either believe that it's invisible, but real
00:23:25.840
or invisible, but fake. And so there's no, there's no factual debate to be had. And I want to contrast
00:23:33.760
this idea of dialogue, that is propounded by, you know, Charlie Kirk, which was much more about like,
00:23:41.700
let's, let's prove that this is not accurate. Like, he did that he and you know, Matt Walsh does
00:23:48.220
something similar with what's a woman, like he just dead to rights laid it out like that there is
00:23:52.960
no, there's nothing here to argue about. There's no factual basis for this. You can't even argue
00:23:59.300
about it without talking in circles. And that was good work and important work. But that's not going
00:24:05.760
to convince these people. Right? It's on the level of, you know, we have to sacrifice our children
00:24:12.540
to the sun or the sun won't rise like the Aztecs. And if you've got, you know, I read a 2022 Pew
00:24:18.920
research survey, it was like 38% of people claim to believe that, you know, your, your gender could,
00:24:26.000
could not reflect your, uh, your, uh, assignation at birth of your sex. And it's like, if you've got
00:24:32.460
that many people who believe the equivalent of like, yeah, we have a moral duty to castrate children.
00:24:38.040
Like there's no modus vivendi. There's no way of, of compromising and living together
00:24:42.580
on that basis. And that's, that's what, what so many people find troubling about, like, for instance,
00:24:47.840
uh, governor Spencer Cox's comments from Utah about these issues. It's like, he's, he's looking
00:24:54.340
for a compromise, but the only way that you can like, how, how could you possibly compromise
00:24:59.140
on this and say like, well, you know, some people can castrate their kids if they have this specific
00:25:03.880
weird belief system, but you know, you'd have to essentially like abolish the whole concept of
00:25:09.780
child abuse. There's nothing else you could do to a kid that's more damaging. Right. And so it's
00:25:14.600
like, it's like, you, you, you can't argue on the facts. You can't come to some negotiated settlement.
00:25:21.900
And so to bring it back to this, like, you know, blood for the sun, God thing, it's like,
00:25:26.960
you just have to defeat these people. You have to stop them. And then they have to see that the sun
00:25:32.660
still comes up when we stop killing kids. And that like, that's the only, like, that's the way
00:25:38.500
to make peace. That's the only way it can happen. I think that's exactly correct. And I think, uh,
00:25:45.620
JD Vance agreed with you today. He was hosting the Charlie Kirk show, a very moving, uh, moment given
00:25:53.680
how close he was to Charlie Kirk and what an incredible difficulty it is to fill that chair in a
00:25:59.300
moment like this. Uh, but he said, uh, something that I think shuts down this both sides, find a
00:26:06.440
compromise thing that we're hearing from Spencer Cox and, and many others in this moment, uh, this,
00:26:12.580
oh, well, you know, we really need to come together. And JD Vance said, no, actually there is no coming
00:26:17.280
together until justice is done. There are positions we cannot allow in our society. There is no conversation
00:26:24.560
with them. There is no discussion with them. There is only the destruction and defeat of them. Uh, so
00:26:30.080
let me play that real quick. These people violent. I hope not, but are they guilty of encouraging
00:26:35.840
violence? You damn well better believe it. We can thank God that most Democrats don't share these
00:26:42.000
attitudes. And I do while acknowledging that something has gone very wrong with a lunatic fringe,
00:26:49.740
a minority, but a growing and powerful minority on the far left. There is no unity with people who
00:26:58.780
scream at children over their parents politics. There is no unity with someone who lies about what
00:27:04.460
Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his murder. There was no unity with someone who harasses an
00:27:10.380
innocent family. The day after the father of that family lost a dear friend, there is no unity
00:27:16.620
with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination. And there is no unity with the
00:27:22.140
people who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these terrorist sympathizers, who argue that
00:27:28.460
Charlie Kirk, a loving husband and father deserved a shot to the neck because he spoke words with which
00:27:36.460
they disagree. Are these people violent? So again, JD Vance, just laying out here for all
00:27:43.500
the squishy Republicans calling for peace and unity that no, in fact, that is not the solution
00:27:49.100
to this problem, that there is a line you cannot cross. And after that line is crossed, discussion
00:27:55.340
is over and we need to fix this problem, which is, like you said, very important because so many,
00:28:02.140
it's incredible no matter how much violence is done in the United States. Look, I know you said this
00:28:08.460
many times and it's a great, uh, it's a great analogy. The GOP or Indian agents, you know, for,
00:28:13.180
for red America, for conservatives, their, their entire purpose is to mislead, uh, conservatives into
00:28:19.180
believing they have political representation when they don't. And so for so long, you know, you and I and
00:28:25.580
everyone involved in the right has just been, you know, completely incensed and had their eyes rolled to
00:28:30.860
the back of their head when it came to any GOP representative talking because they were all cowards and they were all
00:28:37.020
liars and they were all soulless and they were all just complete scum. And we're seeing that with so many of
00:28:42.700
them yet again, you know, today, guys like Cox, but many others running to the microphone to say, oh, well,
00:28:48.700
you know, one more time, if I could just sell my constituents down the river one more time so that what doctors
00:28:55.740
can can mutilate just a few more kids. Like these people are absolutely soulless scum. So many of them.
00:29:01.740
However, it is good to see that finally we have a few guys who know at the very least where we're at.
00:29:10.060
Maybe they're not going to do everything that we think should be done, but at the very least,
00:29:13.900
they are willing to say what needs to be said and address the problem. And I think that's just
00:29:18.620
really critical, uh, because, uh, at this moment, again, without, without justice from the civil
00:29:26.540
magistrate, violent retaliation will come and you can't really blame them when there is no political
00:29:33.020
solution. You need to provide political solutions. The job right now of the GOP is to provide that
00:29:38.380
there is a real political solution to this problem, because if, if there isn't, then we will be looking
00:29:44.220
for not political solutions. And so I think it's critical in this moment that guys like JD Vance
00:29:49.180
recognize the rhetoric is not about lowering the temperature. The rhetoric is about ending this
00:29:55.500
terrorism once and for all. Absolutely. I never thought that we would hear
00:30:02.060
the kind of talk that we just heard from JD Vance, uh, in my lifetime. I, I don't think I could love
00:30:08.220
that guy anymore. Um, and it's, it's, uh, and, and, you know, it is awful that it had to come to this.
00:30:22.140
Um, but it seems clear that, that, that, you know, Trump takes this personally, JD Vance takes this
00:30:30.780
personal and hopefully that, uh, hopefully that generates change. Um, I, I think, go ahead.
00:30:39.340
No, no, no. By all means, please continue. Well, I just, I, I think that you're, you're absolutely
00:30:43.820
right that, that it, it, it is not about, um, the choice is not between political conflict and
00:30:55.660
political comedy at this point. The choice is between, uh, disorganized amateurish hideous political
00:31:06.780
conflict and orderly lawful. The, the people who have the power to make change here have such an
00:31:22.140
opportunity. They have such an opportunity to, to correct this in a way that, I mean, like the, the,
00:31:30.620
the, the tools that we have at our disposal, um, that have, you know, that have been just used against
00:31:38.140
the right for, for making jokes online for the last, you know, 15, 20 years. Um, those tools can solve
00:31:46.460
this problem in a very peaceful, gentle way, uh, certainly relative to the alternatives.
00:31:56.140
Yeah. Um, but, and it's, and it's, you know, I, I don't think actually, I actually don't believe
00:32:00.940
that, um, what's going to happen is that, you know, they're going to have their schizo shooters
00:32:11.180
and, you know, we're going to get our own schizo shooters. I think, I think the right,
00:32:17.340
you've looked at the, the, the trajectory over the last decades, we've never identified, you know,
00:32:22.740
because there've been, there've been, you know, uh, uh, left-wing political candidates, left-wing,
00:32:26.220
you know, uh, public figures, um, who have been targeted for violence and you've never seen it.
00:32:31.980
There is no equivalence. You have never seen, um, just the mass of one,
00:32:41.020
one political faction celebrate the way that, you know, and, and I'm not going to say that, like,
00:32:47.340
every time these things happen, that we all, you know, banded together with this maudlin,
00:32:52.460
you know, contrition, and we're so sorry for saying these things that led to this violence.
00:32:56.380
We don't feel any connection to it because these, these are insane people. Um, and, and they had an
00:33:03.340
opportunity, I think, uh, to, to, to do the same, you know, they didn't have to love Charlie Kirk.
00:33:11.020
But, but this, this celebration of his murder was, was just beyond the pale and, and to, to think that
00:33:16.700
it was, you know, you, you could have prior to this been like, you know, there's some crazies.
00:33:25.100
There's always crazy. Right. And that's what they tried to say. Um, but they tell on themselves,
00:33:31.340
they tell on themselves, they, they identify, and maybe they don't identify with like the specific,
00:33:36.780
particular, weird thing that all these people are about, but they identify with the violence.
00:33:43.020
The violence is good. We want the violence. And, and the reason I don't think that we're going to see
00:33:48.140
that on the right is that that only serves the faction of entropy. It only serves the faction of
00:33:59.020
chaos. There, there, we don't have that, that nihilistic self-destructive spiteful streak in us.
00:34:09.500
And, uh, and, and you can see that in terms of like the, the, the people who, who they always
00:34:17.340
bring up as like, well, these are the people that it's comparable to. They're not, they're people that
00:34:21.020
most of us had never heard of. They're not like some big, you know, antagonist to our politics,
00:34:25.580
the way Charlie Kirk was. It's, it's, it's, it's nobodies. It's people who are often very
00:34:29.660
like telegenic and innocent and did nothing wrong. And it's like, yeah, no, of course we don't
00:34:33.740
identify with that. Why would we have anything to do with that? And that, and I think it's,
00:34:37.340
I just think it's critical to point out that it's not tit for tat. It's not morally equivalent.
00:34:45.100
We are not the same and the same tactics are not going to be used.
00:34:49.740
Yeah. It's funny because of course, you know, that the left needs to both sides, this thing,
00:34:54.380
right? Like that's the, the first move is to, oh, well, it's both sides doing this,
00:34:58.220
both sides doing this. And I've, I've seen them try to bring up, oh, well, Paul Pelosi
00:35:02.940
was attacked by who, by a radical Republican. No, Josh Shapiro was attacked by who? Oh,
00:35:10.380
by a leftist terrorist. Actually, you know, right. Melissa Hortman was killed. Okay. By a Tim Wall's
00:35:16.220
appointee, right? Like every one of these people that they're listing, oh, Democrats are taking,
00:35:21.260
you know, there's violence being done to them too. Yes. By other Democrats, the most dangerous
00:35:27.260
thing in America to a democratic politician is a democratic radical terrorist, right? Like that,
00:35:33.420
that's all of the, now, of course there has been right wing, you know, there, there are actual
00:35:38.460
examples of right wingers out there, but like you said, no one is jumping behind any of these people.
00:35:42.940
No one is celebrating any of this stuff. Like I didn't see a lot of people coming out and saying,
00:35:47.020
well, you know, Gabby, you know, Gabby Gifford, you know, I didn't agree with her on everything.
00:35:51.980
And she really set the tone and we, you know, you shouldn't have shot her, but really at the end of
00:35:56.380
the day, like, no, it was just like, no, this is terrible. And of course you shouldn't do this.
00:36:00.540
And I don't need to give you a list of all the, you know, 14 reasons why I shouldn't have done this,
00:36:06.140
but I finally give you the one where I say, oh, well, okay, but it's bad. Like you just know,
00:36:10.300
it's just bad. And that, that should be very simple. That condemnation should be very simple.
00:36:15.260
And you can tell how the left is just incredibly, uh, not they, they're, they don't,
00:36:21.660
they don't feel bad about this at all. You look at some of the streamers like Hassan Piker and
00:36:26.700
destiny, and they're literally on their streams out there calling for the murder of Republicans.
00:36:31.500
Even now, even now destiny is live on his stream. No hesitation. These people don't expect any kind
00:36:38.700
of consequence. They don't expect to be fired. They don't expect to be debanked. They don't expect to
00:36:42.860
get deplatformed. They don't expect to get canceled. They don't expect to be harassed.
00:36:47.020
None of it. None of it. They think they can get on there and literally openly call for the murder
00:36:52.460
of their political opponents right after an assassination without any consequence. And,
00:36:58.860
and it's not just the guys who are calling for the open violence. You look at someone like crystal ball,
00:37:03.260
who's just a terrible human being, just a terrible human being goes out and says how, you know,
00:37:07.900
her first response. Okay. Killing Charlie Kirk is bad, but right. Like immediately just the but,
00:37:14.300
but you know, the, the thing that really matters is conservatives are scary. They're doing cancel
00:37:18.700
culture. So it's not the murder of the guy. It's not, it's not the children who had to watch their
00:37:23.820
father get blown away in front of them. The, the, the real travesty is that some screeching blue haired
00:37:30.620
woman on, on Tik TOK might lose her job caring for children after cackling about the murder of a,
00:37:38.060
her political opponent. Like that's the real travesty, but you can literally find like 20 tweets
00:37:44.460
and several interviews where crystal ball says exactly the same thing about Republicans. They
00:37:49.260
should be beaten in the streets. They should be, they should be canceled. They should be fired. They
00:37:53.340
should be debanked. They should, you know, so the don't, you know, there are, there are Democrats.
00:37:58.940
There are people who consider themselves on the left that do really decry this, that don't support
00:38:03.820
it. I don't want to pretend like this is every single person on the left, right? But don't make
00:38:08.460
a mistake. The activist class, the leaders, the people, the, the, the media members, they might give
00:38:14.060
you 10 seconds of, Ooh, don't do this for now. Cause we don't want any consequences for what we've
00:38:19.500
been pushing for a decade. But let me tell you, every one of those people, they don't mean it for a
00:38:24.540
second. Like they are, they're on board with this and they will be pushing it the minute they think
00:38:28.460
they can. Absolutely. Absolutely. And you know, they've been doing it since, I mean, since Nixon,
00:38:34.460
basically, which is, which is our enemies are Nazis. Anything you do to a Nazi is morally permissible,
00:38:43.820
but, but we deplore violence against our political enemies. And it's just, it's completely hypocritical.
00:38:48.540
They are explicit. And, and, you know, the best you can say, the best argument you can make
00:38:54.220
in their defense is that they're unserious about it. And they go, yeah, they're not really Nazis,
00:39:02.380
but it's all in the game. And it's for, it's for getting suburban white women to come out and vote,
00:39:06.540
but they've seen over and over and over again, how people are connecting those dots.
00:39:14.300
Like they're not hard dots to connect. These are Nazis. Anything is permissible against the Nazi.
00:39:21.340
Therefore, and you know, they're counting on people who, you know, don't have as much to lose
00:39:27.660
and don't have as, as firm a grip on reality. Um, and, and, you know, if, if, if they condemned it
00:39:35.180
after the fact, even then you could say, well, maybe they, you know, it's just, it's just kayfabe.
00:39:41.080
They're just trying to drum up votes. They don't mean it, but then, but then when a schizo goes out
00:39:45.720
and does it, they go, great. That was awesome. We love that. The, the, the idea that the dots aren't
00:39:52.040
meant to be connected, that it's all just rhetoric, that it's all kayfabe. It's just professional
00:39:56.520
wrestling there for the, for the rubes to get them. No, obviously not. You're exactly right. Like
00:40:01.880
the, the, the, the, this is, you cannot let them get away with this. You cannot let them get away
00:40:06.920
with, Oh, well, we're just doing this for the, no, these people are ordering deaths. They're
00:40:11.800
ordering deaths and they know it. And then that that's the, the, the word fascist, the, the
00:40:17.100
application of the word fascist, the charge of Nazism or fascism has to become akin to openly calling
00:40:24.200
for the lynching of a black person. It has to carry that level of stigma. It has to destroy
00:40:30.200
your reputation, destroy your employability. You can't be touched by a bank. Like it needs to carry
00:40:37.420
that level of social sanction because in the United States and the wider Western world, Hitler
00:40:42.480
and the Nazis have become the secular equivalent of Satan and demons. And you don't make deals with
00:40:49.000
Satan. You slay demons. Like that's it. These people that when the left calls conservatives ontologically
00:40:55.700
evil, they don't know what that means, but that is what it means, right? Like that is what they
00:40:59.780
actually mean is that you are incapable of being a good person. You are inhuman. And by definition,
00:41:07.420
the enemies of humanity must be slain by the pro humans. Ironically, this was Carl Schmitt's point,
00:41:13.900
right? Like, like that, that using that, that he who uses the term, uh, uh, humanity is cheating.
00:41:20.080
They are trying to make everyone believe that everything they do is righteous because they stand
00:41:25.200
for humanity and you do not. And you are the enemy of humanity and anything done
00:41:29.320
by you is therefore evil and is justifiable to do anything to you to make it stop. That is
00:41:35.940
the mentality. And that has to end. And, and Steven Miller here, I'll play the clip from Steven
00:41:40.980
Miller real quick. He says the Trump administration is not screwing around on this one, which I was
00:41:45.100
very heartened to see. This is, you know, he's on Charlie Kirk show. He's talking to the vice
00:41:49.780
president. This is a policy announcement, right? This is as good as a press conference where he
00:41:54.580
announces this strategy. Let's play this real quick, which is that we need to have an organized
00:41:59.120
strategy to go after the left wing organizations that are promoting violence in this country. And
00:42:04.240
I will write those words onto my heart and I will carry them out. If people ask me, you know,
00:42:10.240
what emotions I'm feeling right now, this is something people say, I mean, you kind of know
00:42:13.120
the answer. There's incredible sadness, but there's incredible anger. And the thing about anger is
00:42:20.200
that unfocused anger or blind rage is not a productive emotion. But focused anger, righteous
00:42:26.580
anger directed for a just cause is one of the most important agents of change in human history.
00:42:31.660
And we are going to channel all of the anger that we have over the organized campaign that led to this
00:42:41.560
assassination to uproot and dismantle these terrorist networks. So let me explain a little
00:42:45.700
bit what that means. So I've got 30 seconds to be quick, Steven, the organized doxing campaigns,
00:42:52.300
the organized riots, the organized street violence, the organized campaigns of dehumanization,
00:42:57.700
vilification, posting people's addresses, combining that with messaging that's designed to trigger
00:43:02.800
inside violence and the actual organized cells that carry out and facilitate the violence. It is a vast
00:43:07.960
domestic terror movement. And with God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we
00:43:13.060
have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government to identify,
00:43:17.440
disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people.
00:43:21.940
It will happen. And we will do it in Charlie's name. Thank you, Steven.
00:43:25.000
So Steven Miller here, that was, they cut off a little bit at the beginning. He's responding to
00:43:30.640
Charlie Kirk's posts, some of the last posts that he had on Twitter, the ones we mentioned,
00:43:34.360
where he said, Hey, uh, you know, the, the left wing is getting violent. They are creating these
00:43:39.580
networks. We need to shut down these NGOs. We need to shut down this wider network. And he says,
00:43:43.780
we are going after all these people. We're going after the Antifa networks, the BLM cells. We're going
00:43:49.460
after the actual groups themselves and the people who are organizing them, but we're not just stopping
00:43:53.900
there. We're going after the NGOs. We're going after the funders. We are chasing down every single
00:43:59.560
lead we can on this. Now, obviously we're going to have to see how this develops and we'll
00:44:04.180
continue to support this and demand it and call it out if it's not done. But this is exactly the
00:44:09.980
kind of language that we needed to hear. I was afraid we weren't going to hear it. And I am
00:44:14.100
relieved to hear that we have, this is exactly what we needed to hear. Again, the administration
00:44:18.780
has made good on this. It's not just enough promise you have to deliver. But that said,
00:44:23.160
at this point, this is as much as the administration can do rhetorically. I mean, this is, this is what
00:44:28.860
every one of us wanted them to say. We're not just going, we're not just going after the criminal,
00:44:33.620
not just a few people who happen to be involved. We're going after all of it, the organizations,
00:44:39.180
the cells, the connections, the money, every aspect of this, we are going to take it down.
00:44:45.220
You know, JD Vance comes in and says, we're not no unity with these people. There's no peace without
00:44:49.640
justice. We need to see this end. You know, we're, we're, we are only going to be able to work with
00:44:54.860
these people after they have completely renounced these ideologies. And so this is, this is strong
00:45:00.420
rhetoric from the Trump administration. This is exactly what we wanted to see. And then we want
00:45:04.360
to see it executed, obviously. Yeah. I mean, these, these, this Mike Cernovich made a really good
00:45:11.940
point, which is that whoever the killer is, it doesn't matter. They're a patsy. Like they are,
00:45:17.800
they are part of an apparatus that, that justified and facilitated and, and, and sheltered and endorsed
00:45:27.200
and subsidized these people and the people they work with and the people they learn from for as long
00:45:34.180
as you and I've been alive. And, uh, to, to, yeah, to just target the like dozen weirdos in his group chat,
00:45:45.580
uh, uh, is nowhere near enough to address this problem. Not even close, not even close. The people
00:45:53.760
who are responsible for this ultimately are the organized political left and the billionaires who
00:46:01.220
fund them. That's where it comes from. Uh, they, the one, uh, the one opportunity we have that I think
00:46:09.960
will close if we don't act fast is that all of these people have such expectation of impunity
00:46:21.660
that they have been communicating openly about all of these intentions and all of like everything that
00:46:31.700
we've been talking about all this time. They've been communicating openly about it in public,
00:46:36.740
let alone in private. I mean, for since forever and, uh, assuming that we act vigorously to stop
00:46:46.820
this, they're going to stop doing that. They're going to go underground. And so, uh, you know,
00:46:52.140
I, I said last night, like we have to, we have to act against as much of this as we can possibly
00:46:57.180
catch while it's still out in the open because they're going to scurry, you know? And so, uh,
00:47:02.580
yeah, it has, it has to be vigorous. It has to be aggressive. It has to be quick. And, uh, frankly,
00:47:08.700
I mean, it's going to be a test of the Trump administration's control over the intelligence
00:47:15.140
and law enforcement bureaucracy. And that may be sort of where the house cleaning has to start.
00:47:19.740
Yeah. You know, they need to take a very close look at, at, at, at who knew about this person
00:47:26.020
and when, uh, who knew about other individuals who, you know, like, like the assassin of, of,
00:47:33.940
uh, or the attempted assassin of Donald Trump, you know, it's, I, I said the other day, like,
00:47:38.620
it's shocking that like, we know more about each of the like 10,000 school teachers who shit talk
00:47:44.840
Charlie Kirk, uh, last weekend when we know about that kid and that like in his apartment being like
00:47:51.120
wiped to a white glove finish, uh, you know, the day after the assassination, like that's crazy.
00:47:57.720
Something's really rotten. And so, yeah, it, it, it, it is not just a handful of loonies and it's not
00:48:05.580
even just, you know, a sick system throwing around these memes and then, you know, a handful of crazies
00:48:15.820
happen to pick it up. That's a tempting framing as well, but no, there are people, there are people,
00:48:21.120
with, with, with names and bank accounts and addresses who are directly responsible. And I
00:48:26.080
hope the Trump administration holds them accountable. Absolutely. And if they don't,
00:48:30.480
then we will be holding them accountable. But for the moment, I want to say, this is the rhetoric that
00:48:35.600
we were hoping for. This is the approach we were hoping for. This is the strength that we were hoping
00:48:39.940
for. So I want to praise them when they're doing the right thing. And when we're seeing, uh, you know,
00:48:44.800
a preparation, at least for the action that we're hoping to see, if it doesn't follow,
00:48:48.440
then that will be its own problem. And we will address it as such then. But right now
00:48:52.720
that's where the Trump administration is at. Charlie Kirk, Charlie Kirk is very clearly
00:48:59.140
one of, if not the main reason that JD Vance is the vice president right now. I don't think this
00:49:04.840
one's coming off the radar guys. Like I don't, I don't, I don't think this one's coming off the
00:49:08.640
radar for them. So that said, Kevin, we have quite a few questions from the audience. Uh, before we
00:49:14.120
pivot over to the questions of the people, is there anything you want people to check out?
00:49:17.840
Now's a great time to be organizing. Uh, where should they be organizing?
00:49:21.820
Yeah. So I run, I run exit group, which is a fraternity for guys who are concerned about this
00:49:26.760
and other, uh, you know, values aligned issues. Uh, we did have a, a, an impromptu get together,
00:49:33.100
uh, the, the day of the shooting. We we've, uh, one of our guys hosted a, a vigil on the Capitol
00:49:38.480
steps in Salt Lake. We're going to be doing some other things, uh, in the near future that, uh,
00:49:42.520
if you want to learn more about that at blog.exitgroup.us, I'll be talking about those
00:49:46.360
things. Um, and yeah, I'm just encouraging everybody to, to get connected with, um,
00:49:52.380
everybody in exit to get connected with their local chapter, be around values aligned people
00:49:59.360
who are sane and responsible and can help you contextualize all this. It's, it's been a,
00:50:05.160
it's been an emotionally trying moment and being able to get together with guys and talk
00:50:11.540
and, uh, sort out things that, uh, are not wrong for you to say that, but would be unsafe for you
00:50:22.160
to say maybe around your family or around your, uh, your, your, your office, you know, find people
00:50:28.600
you can talk to. Cause I think it's, you know, and I, you know, I don't think anybody's going to do
00:50:31.900
anything bad, but just for your own wellbeing and for your own, uh, for your own peace, um, go to
00:50:38.240
church, talk, talk to your friends and, uh, you know, get your mind right on this.
00:50:42.960
Yeah. Jonathan Kieberman was on, uh, earlier and he said, you know, everyone is trooning out
00:50:47.640
politically in the sense that everyone is, is, uh, you know, pulling away from the real world.
00:50:53.520
They're, they're not engaging. They're not grounding themselves. And, uh, I think that's
00:50:58.340
critical right now. Uh, you know, exit is a great group. Of course, I'm always pitching the old
00:51:02.460
glory club as well. Just get yourself plugged in to these networks that are going to allow
00:51:07.820
you to talk with guys who are, who are values aligned, who have wisdom, who have roots in
00:51:14.280
community, who have families, who have faith in God, and are going to be able to walk you
00:51:18.940
through how to unpack this in real life. Not just being angry on Twitter, not just yelling
00:51:24.140
at people online or in discord or isolating yourself in a room somewhere like this guy did
00:51:29.820
when he was driven towards the violence that he had get in community. We're not telling
00:51:34.060
you, you know, uh, you know, don't be angry, but be with people who are going to help you
00:51:39.600
turn that anger into something that is going to benefit your community, change things, make
00:51:45.000
a difference. Don't just be angry, be angry in a direction that brings about positive change,
00:51:51.560
connects you with your community, brings you closer to God, like that turn that energy towards
00:51:57.420
these things, because that's the stuff that's going to allow you then to help when larger
00:52:02.420
political efforts need to be made across the country, uh, which might be coming with the
00:52:07.400
administration. So, uh, I, I can only second, uh, that advice. All right, guys, let's go to
00:52:12.720
the super chats here real quick. We've got, uh, Zolti here with just a very kind, uh, donation.
00:52:19.940
Thank you very much. Appreciate that. Very generous of you. Wild Speaker says,
00:52:23.320
put on the armor of God, vice president's orders. Yeah. Again, I am one of the things I am also
00:52:29.280
heartened by to be very clear. Uh, obviously GOP presidents will throw around, you know,
00:52:34.520
God, we believe in God, blah, blah, blah, blah. Charlie Kirk was delivering a hot gospel to the
00:52:41.760
people who needed it when he was at his events. Yes. So many times when he was talking, he was not
00:52:48.680
just answering the question. He was immediately following up with, and you need to trust in,
00:52:53.560
you know, the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior. He was constantly drawing people to God. And I think
00:52:59.020
that's inspiring many others, including vice president Vance to not just give the lip service
00:53:03.100
to one nation under God or God bless America, but to make clear and explicit calls for spiritual
00:53:08.820
renewal, joining of churches, the mending of families, salvation. These things are powerful
00:53:14.920
and they are part of the problem part. Yeah. Not just a part, a massive part of our issue is a
00:53:20.940
spiritual sickness. And I am very glad to see so many people now strongly speaking in favor of
00:53:26.540
fighting that as well. Can I weigh in on that real quick? Yeah. Yeah. By all means. People on the left
00:53:33.040
and increasingly on the right are going to tell you that Christianity is quietism and that, uh, and that
00:53:39.660
the, the, the, the, the gospel centered thing to do is to, you know, lay down and take it and, um,
00:53:46.920
go read the gospels, go read the words of Jesus, go, go read the way he dealt with people with whom
00:54:00.240
Chan, the man says the Reddit sign up of the new motive is working. Shake my head. I mean,
00:54:05.160
I don't really know what that means. Are you talking about them blaming it on Nick Fuentes or something? I don't,
00:54:09.660
I don't know. I think it was like, uh, he's a, he's an irony accelerationist nihilist gamer who
00:54:16.300
played. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. They were banging, man. The Gropers hate Trump. And so he was
00:54:21.500
a Trump booster and that's why they took him out. Yeah. They, they were trying that honestly. So
00:54:25.400
here's, they did try that and it will work for a certain percentage of their people. Like they'll
00:54:29.380
just buy in. There's nothing you can do about that. But I did see like guys, even like Will Stancil
00:54:33.800
having to walk back like his attempts to, to, to push this. So I don't know, man. Like it,
00:54:39.520
it will look, there will always be a certain percentage of these people who will just parrot
00:54:43.560
that no matter what. But I, I don't know that this is capturing the larger, uh, man, you know,
00:54:49.800
popular imagination. Yeah. Uh, Randall shirker says, I'm still waiting for the discord logs.
00:54:57.520
Kirk was a victim of a conspiracy. It's only a matter of time until someone else gets hit by it. Yeah.
00:55:02.800
To be clear, a couple of things here. First, if it's feels like this hit is a conspiracy to be clear,
00:55:07.540
it is like, if things don't add up, if it seems like one guy couldn't have pulled this off alone,
00:55:12.020
he didn't. And we will find out more about that guys. The reason it looks like a conspiracy
00:55:16.320
is because it is, it's a criminal conspiracy to commit political terror. Like very clearly like
00:55:22.140
that. There's no question there also. And I, and thank you for bringing this up Randall. Cause I
00:55:25.920
forgot to say it when we were during the stream, discord is complicit in this. Okay. Discord bans a
00:55:32.920
hundred right wing group chats before breakfast. They monitor their platform relentlessly. Your dad
00:55:38.860
is not safe there. They, they, they know what you are saying and they ban right wingers all day,
00:55:44.860
every day over what they say in group chats. They know that leftist terrorists are organizing on
00:55:51.480
discord. They know, they know what they are saying and they allowed this assassination. Discord is now
00:55:58.420
criminally involved in the facilitation of the murder of Charlie Kirk. And they were people
00:56:04.080
involved should be severely, severely penalized. And they report to the intelligence agencies,
00:56:10.520
not just the U S intelligence agencies, the European intelligence agencies and others.
00:56:15.280
Um, people knew, or if, if they didn't directly knew they, they consciously and deliberately and
00:56:23.340
selectively turned off surveillance. That's the only explanation. Right. They, they, they know,
00:56:29.640
Hey, we are on these guys teams. So if they're planning to murder people better to have plausible
00:56:34.080
deniability, right? They're going to shut down every single right wing group chat and they're
00:56:38.040
going to allow every single left one. And oops, looks all that stuff. We were worried about the
00:56:42.160
right. Doing turns out the left was doing it because we were specifically allowing them to do it.
00:56:45.880
They know what they're doing. They know exactly what they're doing. That's the minimum level of
00:56:49.700
complicity that I think is right. Right. Right. Yeah. If we're, if we're giving them the best,
00:56:54.520
the best in most charitable interpretation, it's that they were intentionally cultivating an
00:56:58.700
environment where they knew leftists could plan a murder. That's the best outcome. I think it's
00:57:03.480
probably far worse, but that's, that's the best and most generous explanation. Randall again says,
00:57:08.900
also you can tell Charlie's views on various topics were evolving a shame. We won't get to see
00:57:13.460
where he'd go in five, 10 years time. Yeah. Again, many people have commented on this. We were
00:57:18.000
talking about this with Jonathan a few episodes ago, but obviously Charlie Kirk was a guy who was
00:57:23.980
hiding his power levels or not so much hiding his power levels, but a guy who was careful
00:57:27.400
about his communications, thoughtful about his rhetoric. I know this makes a lot of people angry
00:57:31.960
about Charlie Kirk. And I guess you could just be an adult, right? Like, I guess you could just,
00:57:37.100
you could just be an adult. And, and it's not about being the edgiest boy. It's about being the most
00:57:41.860
effective. And the reason they shot Charlie Kirk is he was effective and that can burn your soul. You can
00:57:47.100
get angry. You can get in all the group chats you want and yell, whatever, but guess what? Charlie
00:57:51.500
Kirk is far more effective than you. And that's why they shot him. So, uh, he, he only was getting
00:57:57.560
more wise and more right wing and more serious over time. He already was, but he was only getting more
00:58:03.260
of those things. And so, yeah, no, no surprise. Like I said, Charlie Kirk last few weeks had been,
00:58:09.140
I heavily questioned Israel's involvement in, you know, then these wars. And I really think that the,
00:58:15.080
you know, the, the civil rights act is a mistake. And I really think we need to end all immigration
00:58:19.060
legal and illegal. I like, this is, I need, we need to shut down all these left-wing networks.
00:58:23.920
We need to go after left-wing, uh, terror. Like, this is not a guy who did not know what was going
00:58:29.040
on. I'm sorry. That just doesn't make sense. And he, he, he was the best positioned. He was the
00:58:35.020
person in the highest, uh, sort of vantage had the most ability to affect change. And he was saying
00:58:42.820
things that, you know, all of us would say. And, and, uh, yeah, it's, it's, um, it's such a tragedy.
00:58:51.540
Tiny Rick says, I used to joke that Charlie Kirk was as left-wing as I got. The truth is he was the
00:58:57.160
best of us. Godspeed again. So many of us, you know, of course feel this way. Uh, you know, I've
00:59:02.500
always had a, my, my position on Charlie Kirk was always doing good work. We should say a little more,
00:59:07.300
or, you know, wouldn't blog, but what are you going to do? Right? Like, like everyone's going
00:59:12.580
to have, Oh, this guy didn't have my exact position on one thing or another, you know,
00:59:16.760
Sam Hyde said in his video, uh, you know, we, someone might've had a, a, a disagreement with
00:59:21.140
Charlie Kirk, but that's inside business, right? That's, that's inside business with that. That
00:59:25.160
is within our movement. This guy is a console of Rome, right? That's it. Yeah. That's all you
00:59:30.720
need to know at the end of the day. That's right.
00:59:35.680
Philosophical thirst worm says it shouldn't just be leftist. You wouldn't believe the scale of
00:59:44.380
Ukrainian refugees taking heads, cheering this on more Ryan Rouse coming probably. Yeah. I don't
00:59:50.220
really understand the Ukrainian angle. I've seen people make that assertion, honestly, from the
00:59:55.340
people saying it, it seemed like a lot of people who just had partisan, uh, feelings about the Ukrainian
01:00:00.100
war. Uh, I think this one is pretty obvious. The people who have been saying that,
01:00:05.680
Charlie Kirk needs to die for years and hating Charlie Kirk for the positions he was espousing
01:00:10.060
when it was shot, shot him. Like I get it again. It is a conspiracy guys. I'm not telling you it
01:00:15.420
isn't a conspiracy. It's absolutely a conspiracy. I just think it's a conspiracy of people who like,
01:00:21.060
you know, we're doing it because they believe what they've been saying for many years.
01:00:28.220
Manayud says, uh, Kirk was a good man. He was a God fearing American and, and this, I call him a brother.
01:00:34.640
The time is not for infighting. Uh, yeah, we are all Charlie and, and, you know, uh, I'll, I'll say
01:00:40.460
this. So I think it was a day or two ago. I saw somebody who has been very uncharitable to me
01:00:47.880
and has been yelling about the woke, right? And the dangers of the power and all this stuff.
01:00:52.280
And he was complaining that, uh, you know, what, look at how dangerous it is now for
01:00:59.040
conservatives. And of course he's right. But you know, the whole time guys like me and Kevin have
01:01:03.580
been saying, no, you need to understand what's coming. You need to know what time it is. You
01:01:07.040
need to understand that we need to, you know, uh, exercise power. And these people have been
01:01:11.420
attacking us as crazy and leftists for doing so. And I, you know, I snapped off a, you know,
01:01:17.000
oh, can we do something now? Is it okay now? Or is it left to left wing? And you know, everything
01:01:22.500
about that is true. Right. But I ended up deleting the tweet. And the reason I deleted the tweet is
01:01:27.500
very simple. This is not about minor beasts right now. This is not about, you know, one upping your
01:01:33.040
opponents and showing who was right or wrong. And I told you, Sue, I mean, yes, there are correct
01:01:38.260
arguments and I'm, I'm, I'm happy to make them and it's worth pointing them out. But I don't want
01:01:43.060
this to be a moment where we are using this to try to position ourselves. The important part right
01:01:50.740
now is that Charlie Kirk is dead and that his children do not have a father and his wife is
01:01:55.240
grieving him. Like that's what matters. And what matters is he died in the service of Christ in this
01:02:00.180
country. And that's what matters. And it doesn't mean that we don't have to shut up the squishes at
01:02:05.260
some point when things need to get done. But I don't, I really, you know, I don't want to be
01:02:10.920
responsible for using Charlie Kirk's death to like hash out some kind of internecine warfare
01:02:16.860
personally. So as long as you are on the side of making sure that justice comes for Charlie
01:02:22.900
Kirk, you're on my side right now. And that's all that matters.
01:02:26.720
Incredibly clarifying to see where people's guns are pointed right now.
01:02:34.700
All right here. Creeper Weirdo says the conspiracy theories around Kirk's assassination
01:02:38.880
irritate me. It's a bunch of distractions and waste of time, energy on stupid hyper fixation.
01:02:43.640
Yeah. Again, I am, I want to be clear. There is a conspiracy theory. If it feels, you know,
01:02:48.260
there is a conspiracy. If it feels like a conspiracy, it is a conspiracy. It was a conspiracy that was
01:02:52.600
funded by foreign actors. It was a conspiracy that where money was funneled through NGOs into this
01:02:58.260
country where people were radicalized with the intention of getting people murdered, where they
01:03:02.840
organized online in protected spaces meant to facilitate their radicalization.
01:03:07.920
And they worked together to generate this assassination. It is a conspiracy, but I just
01:03:13.780
don't think it's, I don't think it's Israel. I don't think it's Ukraine. I don't think it's
01:03:17.400
Qatar. Like, sorry guys. I don't like, I get it. Israel, Israel, whatever. Okay. Yeah. I don't like
01:03:23.280
a lot of what Israel does either, but also be a human being. Okay. Like just for, for 10 seconds,
01:03:29.220
maybe this isn't about you and your personal political hobby horse horse. And like the thing that
01:03:34.300
you've been trained, like a monkey to point to every time something goes wrong, maybe this time
01:03:38.680
it's just crazy leftists work together because they hate you and they want to kill you. And that's
01:03:51.940
kaput jurat lupinum, uh, may his be a wolf's head. Uh, sorry, I'm not super familiar with that
01:03:58.780
reference, but appreciate the super chat. Uh, super Joe's midlife crisis says, will nationalization
01:04:05.000
of academia work? David should be a suggestion of this on Charlie Kirk stream. And I've been
01:04:08.980
pondering the effectiveness of this idea. I mean, we just need to dismantle the universities and guess
01:04:12.980
who said that Charlie Kirk, like Charlie Kirk said straight up, but he spends all of his time
01:04:18.560
on university campuses. And in his, uh, interview with Doug Wilson, one of his last ones, he said,
01:04:24.120
yeah, we, they can't be saved. We have to dismantle the, the entire network piece by piece,
01:04:29.140
the entire network of academia has to go. There's no, you know, these are, these are personnel
01:04:36.640
problems. These are not policy problems. You can't tell people who went to leftist, you know,
01:04:45.760
grade schools and then leftist colleges and then got hired by a leftist HR manager and who have been
01:04:51.800
leftists in their positions the whole time. Hey, you, you're not allowed to say the word gay.
01:04:57.660
Like those, they, they're not going to listen to you. They don't, they don't value your authority.
01:05:04.740
They don't think it's legitimate. And, uh, their, their attitude toward, toward what needs to happen
01:05:11.080
for these kids, um, you know, agree or disagree is sincerely felt. And they don't, that's more important
01:05:18.140
to them than, you know, whatever toothless penalty you ascribe to that. And they'll find another way
01:05:24.040
to find a loophole. You have to, yeah, it's, I mean, it's, it's essentially the level of change
01:05:32.960
that happened in Germany in 1946 or, or, or Japan. Like you, you have to completely root these people
01:05:40.780
out and, uh, and give them other things to do because it's, it's, it, you, you, you cannot
01:05:46.780
tolerate people who hold it. It's not, it's not, you know, expressions or shibboleths or articulations
01:05:53.380
of the ideology. You can't tolerate the people who hold those ideologies being in positions of
01:05:58.900
responsibility. Yeah. There's a, you know, uh, many people have, as you, you referenced there,
01:06:04.560
the, the de-Nazification of Germany or Japan post-World War II, you need to run that program
01:06:10.000
in reverse on the left, right? Like that, that has to be what happens here. If you want to,
01:06:15.420
uh, unseat this ideology and people have to simply get, you know, understand that's where
01:06:21.520
you're at. Their, their half measures will not get you there. Uh, thirstworm says JD and Miller are
01:06:27.720
saying good things, but their priorities will crash against the shore of antisemitism resolutions
01:06:31.760
and most Isley Cantina judges. Look, I understand that, um, we have all seen Republicans fail
01:06:39.700
so many times that the frankly correct answer is to be cynical and to be doubtful. Um, I'm with you
01:06:48.120
in many ways, but at the same time, if you would declare your defeat beforehand, you are allowing
01:06:55.180
and creating the pathway for it, right? I, I, I want you to hear this very clearly and very carefully.
01:07:02.020
There is a wisdom in knowing the failures that you have, your movement has had previously.
01:07:10.440
The fact that it has not been sufficiently committed to the correct terms and pushing
01:07:14.440
for those things and not blindly expecting these people to do them. However, there is another form
01:07:20.780
of this, the nothing other happens ideology. That is an ideology of defeat. I want to be right
01:07:26.300
more than I want to win. Well, guess what? Sometimes winning means not making the safe prediction.
01:07:33.260
In fact, most of the time winning means saying I'm doing the impossible. So yes, are we up against
01:07:39.920
the impossible? Absolutely. Now get it together and make it happen. I don't want to hear excuses.
01:07:45.520
Yeah. Uh, they're going to use the antisemitism resolution. That just tells me you're bad at judo
01:07:50.100
because you know what you should be doing. Hey, if you can do this for antisemitism, you can surely
01:07:55.080
do it for a dead Charlie Kirk. Oh, look, I solved your problem. If we can end left-wing violence on
01:08:01.460
campuses for Israel, we can certainly do it for the United States of America. Look, I just took your
01:08:07.040
rhetoric and I spun it around. So stop complaining to me about how this can't get done and get it done.
01:08:13.200
Okay. I hear you. I don't trust any of these people farther than I can throw them. So I'm going to
01:08:17.880
throw them. Okay. It's that, it's that simple. The tech, right. Has it saying, uh,
01:08:23.700
pessimists sound smart and optimists make a billion dollars? That's right. That's right.
01:08:32.300
Man, you'd says, I think about Kirk's kids, uh, and my heart breaks a little bit more,
01:08:36.500
uh, hug a loved one, uh, friends because Lord can call us home at any time. Pray for peace. Yeah.
01:08:42.060
Once again, of course the, the, the center of this tragedy is not advancing anyone's political
01:08:46.660
positions. It is the loss of Charlie Kirk and what his family are now going through. So absolutely
01:08:52.700
center yourself, love your family and find God, you know, find God, because you never know when
01:08:58.720
that moment is coming. You may think you have forever and you don't. So take the time, do what
01:09:03.360
Charlie Kirk wanted you to do. Find Christ, take this moment. And if, if you are not in a relationship
01:09:07.720
with Christ, you need to be in one. And if you are not talking to your family or you're isolated,
01:09:14.260
you need to, to dig into community and need to connect with people. Do not sit alone during
01:09:19.280
this time. Do not sit alone and angry during this time. Absolutely. Kripper Weirder says,
01:09:25.360
so bring back dark MAGA memes. Is it time? Uh, no, in this case, I think we need the white hat memes.
01:09:30.900
I, I don't, I want, I want justice for Charlie Kirk. I want, I want righteous justice for Charlie
01:09:36.680
Kirk through the state, through the, the, the magistrate as, uh, as righteous arbiters of,
01:09:43.100
of what should be coming for these people, not as people acting outside the law.
01:09:48.720
Yeah. I, I, I, I know, and like the dark MAGA guys, and I don't think that this is, uh,
01:09:53.480
I don't think these positions are exclusive, but, um, but what I'm saying,
01:09:58.540
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, totally, totally. Um, but what I've been thinking about is if you want
01:10:06.220
our side to act effectively and in concert, the biggest, the biggest weapon that the enemy had
01:10:18.460
over the prior generation of people like us was being able to genuinely inculcate in people's hearts
01:10:28.820
that they were bad people for believing the things that they believe. And what has to change
01:10:35.160
is we have got to recognize and believe in our guts, in our bones, that we're the good guys.
01:10:44.220
And, um, that, that the world we are building is a better world. And, uh, you know, there are,
01:10:53.400
there are short term respects in which, uh, there are zero sum conflicts that are battles to be fought.
01:11:00.780
Um, but the world will be better if we win for everyone. Um, we, we, we are, uh, you know,
01:11:14.580
the stones of the field. We're in league with the stones of the field, right? We are on nature's side.
01:11:20.440
We are on the side of reality. We're on the side of truth.
01:11:23.020
And, uh, yeah, I, I think there's, I think there's, um, there's value in
01:11:31.200
the edgy optics, uh, at a certain point to kind of break people of the habit of mind of cringing
01:11:38.180
constantly and seeking approval. I think we've grown past it. I think it's time for us to say like,
01:11:47.260
no, no, actually, you know, uh, I'm the guy who has a wife and a kid, a wife and kids. And I live
01:11:54.520
in a beautiful place and I live around beautiful people. And, and, and we, we have civilization and
01:11:59.300
we're trying to protect it. We're trying to keep it safe. And we're trying to, we're trying to save
01:12:03.320
our country. Um, I think that, I think you're absolutely right. That's what's called for now.
01:12:07.440
It's time to be righteous and normal. It's, it's, it's, it's time.
01:12:17.260
Uh, Carl, uh, Johansson says, uh, the public, uh, usually rejects violence. So doing nothing
01:12:23.320
here might be the best move. Look at BLM. Sometimes doing nothing is the best policy,
01:12:28.400
your thoughts. So I hear what you're saying, but, uh, what happened after BLM is Joe Biden
01:12:34.240
took power and everyone was thrown in jail and our border was thrown open. So yes, I think
01:12:41.100
people in general are uncomfortable with violent violence. I do think there is a point at which
01:12:45.880
too much violence does create a call, uh, from the public for action, but this is the time.
01:12:53.220
This is the call for action. Um, I think if that, if we just let this sail by the left will cover
01:13:00.100
their butts, they'll pretend like they are calling for peace for a few months and they'll be right back
01:13:04.520
where they started, just like they were with Trump. Uh, the public, uh, didn't like the assassination
01:13:09.900
of Trump. I think it did help him win, uh, the, the landslide victory that he did. But if this is
01:13:16.040
not locked in, if those gains aren't made, if there's not systemic changes that come with the
01:13:20.200
public opinion, the public opinion means nothing. If there is nothing you have learned from my show,
01:13:25.200
please remember public opinion is fickle and can be completely manipulated by the people in charge.
01:13:30.560
It does. It's not that it doesn't matter, but that it is a mercurial thing that you must seize
01:13:36.020
the moment on when it's with you. And so we must seize the moment. Now, now is not the time to sit
01:13:41.380
back and let public opinion drive the politics a certain direction. No, public opinion is with us.
01:13:46.580
And so we act swiftly with the maximum legal force that can be leveraged in this moment.
01:13:53.580
Uh, by way of analogy, um, and this sort of draws the distinction between, um, I, Curtis was just
01:13:59.960
talking about the distinction between force and violence. Yes. Um,
01:14:04.200
in, uh, and you, you know, you can take this, uh, for what it's worth. I don't love the CCP any more
01:14:11.920
than anybody, but, um, one of the things they did that I thought was really smart during the Hong Kong
01:14:17.580
protests was they didn't shoot protesters. They didn't, you know, beat them up with billy clubs.
01:14:24.420
They sprayed them with blue paint and followed them home. You know, they, they absorbed the battering,
01:14:32.060
the violence of the protest. And then, you know, a week and a half later, you got to knock on the
01:14:38.380
door in the middle of the night. He went to jail and it was clean and it was quick and it was low
01:14:43.980
drama and it was low media footprint. And I think that very, very similar things can happen here.
01:14:51.240
You know, uh, uh, again, these surveillance tools exist. Um, you may hate them. You may think they
01:15:00.660
shouldn't exist. They exist. They're here and they can either be used for pro-civilizational ends or
01:15:08.160
left in the hands of the anti-civilizational people, uh, who currently operate them.
01:15:14.100
Baked potatoes. It's, uh, uh, it hurts to hear, uh, uh, it hurt to hear, but Sam Height's take on the
01:15:23.260
constitution in his video has resonated with me. And I think more people, uh, will follow, uh, look,
01:15:31.800
um, I don't know if you're new to this channel, but, uh, Sam Height's take on the constitution is
01:15:38.180
exactly, um, uh, you know, it's not novel around here. Uh, I wouldn't have phrased it the way that
01:15:44.620
Sam Height phrased it in that video. Uh, but obviously I am not here saying be super precious,
01:15:50.260
uh, and just wave around your constitutional rights and they will protect you. Um, obviously I wrote
01:15:55.520
literally an entire book on the subject. So, um, I'm, I, I hear you, uh, we're not arguing for,
01:16:02.280
uh, you know, just, just run up and tell them you've got the right to free speech and it'll be just
01:16:06.340
fine. Um, we're telling you, uh, just when you bring the hammer on these guys and you should
01:16:11.700
crush them to pieces, when you bring the hammer, make sure to wrap it in, you know, in law. That's
01:16:18.020
all, that's all, that's all we're saying. When Sam talked about, uh, dear Grok, would it be helpful
01:16:25.120
to wrap the, to, to wave the constitution in front of people in South Africa who are trying to boil you
01:16:30.780
alive in your bathtub? That was just one of the funniest bits I've ever heard. I, so like, yeah,
01:16:36.100
the, the constitution, the value and the beauty and the thing that we should, the thing that we
01:16:41.040
should cling to, I think is the, uh, the spirit of freedom that it created. I mean, it existed as
01:16:52.880
a religion in the minds of the people who ran the country for a while. That was the value of the
01:16:57.660
constant. That's what it bought us. Right. Was people felt constrained by custom and by social
01:17:04.420
pressure and by sincere belief, uh, to limit their exercise of legitimate power. And that
01:17:14.020
led to a lot of cultural flowering and a lot of good things and a lot of, uh, a lot of
01:17:20.120
beauty. And, uh, that's all still real. Um, but the constitution does not live in the hearts
01:17:26.060
of our rulers anymore. And, uh, and it is not, it does not defend itself. And so, yeah, you, you,
01:17:33.680
you have to, uh, it was always intended to bind the state and not the people. And now the people
01:17:43.440
are trying to get some things done with the state and they can't allow it to bind them. They, they,
01:17:47.900
they, they have to do what needs to happen. Constitutions, as you point out, are, are in the
01:17:52.800
hearts of people. They might be reflected on paper at some point, but there is no such thing as a paper
01:17:57.720
constitution that that is just something that is written down. And if it's not in the hearts of the
01:18:02.280
people, it does not matter. So that that's what constitutions are and that's how they work. And
01:18:06.880
they don't work any other way. Uh, freelancer says it's a very Jobian how God, uh, took Charlie away
01:18:14.860
from his family and all of us when he was at his best, uh, when he was the best of us, Job 121,
01:18:21.020
right there, Job 38, 41 is his answer. Again, you know, I, I certainly don't want to dwell on this
01:18:29.140
too often, but having, you know, lost, you know, immediate family members, uh, I'll just say that,
01:18:35.060
um, that is a abyss to stare into most certainly. And the questions are always heavy. Uh, but the
01:18:42.140
answer is always, uh, that God created the world and the order under you, which you live and is ordering
01:18:48.340
those things for good in ways that you don't understand. Um, and, um, that doesn't make it
01:18:53.640
easier. And it doesn't mean that your grief or anger is in any way, uh, invalid or less. Uh,
01:19:00.560
but it does mean, uh, that with faith in God, you can make it through any of these things.
01:19:06.160
And, uh, Job 38, 41, I believe is, um, though the worms destroy my flesh and the flesh,
01:19:17.560
Society man says just a friendly reminder that the civil rights act explicitly makes an exemption
01:19:21.840
for communists. Good, important, important thing to know.
01:19:27.820
Uh, Chan, the man says, would like to see a video on, uh, Christian conversion. Uh, I mean,
01:19:35.520
I've certainly talked about, uh, Christianity and Christian conversions. You'd have to be a little
01:19:39.360
more specific, but it could be an interesting topic. If you want to give me a little more on that,
01:19:43.140
uh, Senator Brundlefly says when our Lord entered the temple and found it polluted by money changers
01:19:48.940
and beasts, they asked them to leave. Did he cry? Did he simply walk away? No, he drove them out.
01:19:54.520
And yes, of course the, the point is we're not going to be cowering in front of this. We're not
01:19:59.140
going to be saying, Oh, how could you, you violated the Lord's law. No, we'll be driving this out and
01:20:03.580
we'll be driving it out with righteous authority in this case. Uh, you know, through hopefully the Trump
01:20:08.380
administration, this is one of the beauties of being in power guys. Sometimes elections don't
01:20:12.660
matter this time they could. So let's make it matter and let's not have any excuses about it.
01:20:17.800
All right, guys, we're going to go ahead and wrap this up. As always, it's a pleasure speaking with
