Former Vice President Charlie Kirk was a loving husband and father who devoted his life to his family and served his country with honor and distinction. He was a devoted son, husband, and father. On the morning of January 20th, a gunman opened fire in Kirk's own home, killing him and injuring his family. The White House paid tribute to him and called for unity in the wake of his murder.
00:00:00.000Well, folks, as we've been talking about, there's an enormous amount of bad news happening in the world, obviously.
00:00:06.000A group of horrifying people apparently were not only celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder, but we now have evidence that there are people who may in fact have been thinking about a betting in Charlie's murder, and we'll get to all that in a minute, but I want to start off with the uplifting, because the truth is that the legacy that Charlie leaves, the thing that he leaves behind, is a massive group of people, all of whom are interested in forwarding his legacy and making his voice even bigger.
00:00:34.000One of those people is, of course, the vice president of the United States, Charlie Kirk and the Vice President were very, very close.
00:00:40.000In fact, the vice president had tweeted out that Charlie was very involved in him becoming the vice president in the first place.
00:00:45.000He'd become personal friends, Charlie did with the vice president when he was in the Senate.
00:00:49.000And then he had essentially mentioned to the Trump family and to President Trump that JD would make a great vice president.
00:00:55.000So yesterday, JD actually did Charlie's podcast, which is unprecedented, right?
00:01:00.000Having a sitting vice president of the United States filling in on the show of someone else.
00:01:06.000I've never heard of anything like that.
00:01:10.000He opened by paying tribute to Charlie Kirk.
00:01:14.000JD Vance here, live from my office in the White House complex and filling in for somebody who cannot be filled in for, but I'm going to try to do my best, my dear friend, the great Charlie Kirk.
00:01:25.000The last several days have been extremely hard for our country.
00:01:29.000They've been hard for me, hard for my family, hard for the countless people in this building who knew and loved Charlie Kirk, and of course, they've been hardest most of all for his darling wife Erica and their two beautiful children.
00:01:44.000The thing is, every single person in this building, we owe something to Charlie.
00:01:50.000He was a joyful warrior for our country.
00:01:54.000He devoted himself tirelessly to making our country a better place.
00:01:59.000He was a critical part of getting Donald Trump elected as president, getting me elected as vice president.
00:02:05.000And so much of our success over the last seven months is due to his efforts, his staffing, his support, and his friendship.
00:02:12.000And JD spent a lot of time with various members of the cabinet, parts of the Trump administration talking about Charlie.
00:02:19.000But he had a couple of, I think, very relevant messages, considering how many people have been coming out of the woodwork and legitimately celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk.
00:02:27.000He said, Listen, I'm hearing a lot of people in the media talking about unity, talking about who we need to get together and have a kumbaya moment.
00:02:33.000And listen, unity is a good thing with people who are willing to reach across the aisle and engage in normal discussions and conversations.
00:02:42.000But if you are celebrating assassination, if you are celebrating murder, there can be no unity with you.
00:02:47.000The vice president is totally right about this.
00:02:50.000There is no unity with people who scream at children over their parents' politics.
00:02:56.000There is no unity with someone who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his murder.
00:03:02.000There is no unity with someone who harasses an innocent family the day after the father of that family lost a dear friend.
00:03:10.000There is no unity with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination.
00:03:15.000And there is no unity with the people who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these terrorist sympathizers who argue that Charlie Kirk, a loving husband and father, deserved a shot to the neck because he spoke words with which they disagree.
00:03:32.000I mean, can't say it better than that.
00:03:34.000The vice president of the United States also said that we have to be honest about who's been financing these movements, who is celebrating, who is cheering.
00:03:43.000Because those are people with whom you cannot have disagreements.
00:03:46.000You cannot engage in a democratic republic with people who cheer if you get murdered.
00:03:55.000Did you know that the George Soros Open Society Foundation and the Ford Foundation, the groups who funded that disgusting article justifying Charlie's death, do you know they benefit from generous tax treatment?
00:04:07.000They are literally subsidized by you and me, the American taxpayer, and how do they reward us?
00:04:14.000By setting fire to the house built by the American family over 250 years.
00:04:20.000I am desperate for our country to be united in condemnation of the actions and the ideas that killed my friend.
00:04:27.000I want it so badly that I will Tell you a difficult truth.
00:04:32.000We can only have it with people who acknowledge that political violence is unacceptable, and when we work to dismantle the institutions that promote violence and terrorism in our own country.
00:04:46.000Okay, and that last point is going to come up in a little while when we discuss those systems, because it turns out there are legitimately groups out there that foment violence.
00:04:54.000Now, again, I want to begin with the inspiring here because Charlie leaves extraordinary legacy behind him.
00:05:00.000When Charlie's boots cannot be filled, under any circumstances, chair cannot be filled.
00:05:24.000Charlie was such a seminal figure, he was so important a figure, he was such an effective activist and fighter.
00:05:29.000It's going to take everybody getting involved.
00:05:32.000Well, you can see that all over the globe, not just in the United States, all over the globe, people are celebrating Charlie's memory.
00:05:39.000People are trying to pick up the baton.
00:05:41.000Tommy Robinson over in the UK, who is led the movement against the infiltration of the UK by third world people who do not like the British way of life.
00:05:50.000He led thousands of people in the UK in a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk.
00:05:55.000Charlie's family, we will pray for you.
00:07:00.000In South Korea, South Koreans were chanting on behalf of Charlie Kirk.
00:07:08.000We are chanting, We are Charlie Kirk in South Korea, in South Korea, where Charlie had recently visited.
00:07:21.000Meanwhile, prime ministers of foreign nations, presidents of foreign nations, paying homage to Charlie Kirk, George Maloney over in Italy, points out that the only reason to shoot somebody is because you fear people who have better arguments than you.
00:07:34.000simply sitting in public She says he would sit in public and allow anyone to challenge him.
00:07:45.000Because he was convinced of his ideas.
00:07:50.000He did it with a smile on his face, he did it with respect.
00:08:02.000Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, of course, Charlie was perhaps the foremost defender of Israel on college campuses.
00:08:11.000You can go back and watch copious, copious numbers of videos of him defending the state of Israel, particularly in the face of the terrorism of Hamas in the October 7th war.
00:08:21.000Here is Benjamin Netanyahu reading Charlie Kirk's letter that he sent to him about defending Judeo-Christian civilization.
00:08:29.000He wrote me a letter on May 2nd this year.
00:08:33.000He said, One of my greatest joys as a Christian is advocating for Israel and forming alliances to defend Judeo-Christian civilization.
00:08:42.000A few weeks before the tragedy yesterday, I called him and I spoke to him and I said, please come to Israel.
00:08:52.000And sadly, that visit will not take place.
00:08:55.000But he was he was a defender of our common Judeo-Christian civilization.
00:08:59.000He was unbelievably excited to walk at the footsteps of Jesus here.
00:09:04.000He uh he valued our bond, the bond between America and Israel.
00:09:08.000That is why there are gigantic monuments popping up to Charlie Kirk in Israel.
00:09:11.000There's a square in Natanya, which is one of the northern coastal cities that's now being named for Charlie Kirk.
00:09:16.000Now, new details are emerging about the shooter in this particular case.
00:09:22.000The suspect appeared to have confessed in a Discord chat, according to the Washington Post.
00:09:27.000According to two people familiar with the chat and screenshots obtained by the Washington Post, he said, quote, hey guys, I have bad news for you all.
00:09:37.000A member of the group chat shared an image of the conversation with the post and confirmed it came from the shooter's accounts.
00:09:43.000The person spoke on the condition of anonymity and a fear of harassment.
00:09:47.000Discord provided a copy of the message with the confession to the authorities, according to a person familiar with the company's interaction with law enforcement.
00:09:55.000And meanwhile, we now have some fairly shocking reports about exactly what led to all of this.
00:10:04.000According to FBI Deputy Director Dan Bangino, he believes that it's pretty clear what led to this.
00:10:11.000Quote, I think it's pretty clear based on the statements of family members, friends, and some of the messaging we have on these digital footprints left behind that Robinson, Tyler Robinson, the shooter, clearly had some obsession with Charlie Kirk.
00:10:20.000Bonchino said, Charlie's obviously a conservative commentator.
00:10:23.000I think it's fairly obvious to everyone out there.
00:10:25.000There's no need to parse words with it, that clearly this was an ideologically motivated attack.
00:10:45.000There were people in his network, friends and family, who had stated that he had become more political, that he had become at some parts, I believe some of his co-workers had stated that he had kind of detached himself when the topic of politics came up and walked away from them.
00:11:05.000Family members said he'd become more political, leading us to believe that this ideology had infected him and had taken over.
00:11:14.000And he was just intent, it appears, from the data we've accumulated and the channel and that note, which we have some evidence may have existed before based on the communications in that channel, that his target was obviously going to be Charlie and that people knew in advance.
00:11:32.000The question is, again, I just want to go back to what you had asked before.
00:11:35.000Did they know, were they sure of this, or did they hear this and just write it off?
00:11:41.000That's what we're going to have to find out.
00:11:42.000And that is a huge question, because obviously there are loosely associated or tightly associated groups of transgender-oriented, left-wing, political, ex-Mormon furries.
00:11:58.000I mean, like, it's a bizarre melange, apparently.
00:12:01.000I mean, I was told by my own security today, actually, that some members of groups that have been associated with the investigation that's currently ongoing, have been issuing threats to other public figures, myself included.
00:12:13.000According to Aaron Saberium over at the Free Beacon, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation, as well as screenshots obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
00:12:29.000The post, one of which referenced the date of Kirk's assassination, September 10th, more than a month before it took place, were all deleted in the days following the killing.
00:12:38.000Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals.
00:12:41.000At least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson's roommate with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship on TikTok.
00:12:47.000The FBI has received archived copies of the posts, according to a person who flagged them for the agency.
00:12:52.000Screenshots of the post have been circulating online.
00:12:55.000They had not been previously authenticated.
00:12:58.000While the post don't establish that the individuals knew or conspired with the shooter, several of them mentioned Charlie Kirk by name and fantasize about him dying, quote.
00:13:10.000One ex account posted on September 3rd.
00:13:14.000Another account posted on August 6th, more than a month before the shooting, that, quote, September 10th will be a very interesting day.
00:13:19.000After Kirk's assassination, the account followed up, quote, I plead the fifth.
00:13:23.000That morbid quip was reposted by an account called Churboom75M, who appears to follow Robinson's roommate, Lance Twiggs, on TikTok, where Twiggs'username is Lance Lottel.
00:13:38.000Minutes after Kirk was pronounced dead, Churboom75M posted on X, quote, we effing did it.
00:13:45.000Several of the accounts under investigation appeared to be associated with LGBT subcultures.
00:13:51.000One individual, Osamu bin Tizuku, used the X handle, Fujo Shin Cell, a reference to the genre of anime that depicts romantic relationships between men.
00:14:01.000Another user who had wished death to Kirk and predicted something big will happen, had identified as non-binary on X. Apparently, a video posted on TikTok the night before the shooting, an individual who appears to be transgender wrote, quote, Charles James Kirk does not know what's coming tomorrow.
00:14:20.000And then added, this isn't a threat, it's a promise.
00:14:26.000I mean, it would have been one hell of a coincidence if those were not people who were coordinating or hearing about this or had a feeling this was going to happen and said nothing about it.
00:14:36.000Now, it may not be a crime for them to have stayed silent beforehand, but if you delete evidence that you stayed silent beforehand, that actually could theoretically be obstruction of justice.
00:14:45.000Okay, bottom line is that there are very dangerous cells of people who are associated with fringe acts and who believe themselves to be victims and therefore are willing to legitimize violence and or help it out.
00:15:01.000Cash Patel, the head of the FBI, he says that it's pretty clear who did this, the DNA from the tail and a screwdriver that were found with the rifle match the DNA of the shooter.
00:15:12.000And what we learned was there was evidence, DNA evidence that could be collected and had been collected, including a screwdriver that was found on the rooftop.
00:15:21.000Also, we went over to the scene in the wooded area where the firearm was discarded, and the firearm had a towel wrapped around it.
00:15:31.000I even walked into the wooded area in the ravine, so I knew from my investigative experience what I could bring to the table and what decisions I needed to make.
00:15:39.000And having the support of President Trump and the full support of the White House was what we needed for these resources to happen.
00:15:45.000And I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody.
00:15:58.000Meanwhile, Patel also said that we have a note in which he said he was going to do it.
00:16:05.000His family has collectively told investigators that he subscribed to left-wing ideology, and even more so in these last couple of years.
00:16:16.000And he uh had a text message exchange, he, the suspect with another individual, in which he claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for.
00:16:30.000That are those are factually accurate investigatory findings by the FBI that we've handed over to the local authorities and the federal authorities to make their prosecutorial decisions.
00:16:41.000Now the reaction from the left has come in a variety of forms.
00:16:44.000Form number one is just denying that this is even happening, denying there's any association with left-wing causes or ideologies for the shooter, just pretending that none of this is happening.
00:16:55.000So, for example, former Homeland Security official Donald Harvin said on CNN that actually the law enforcement and Spencer Cox, the governor of Utah, should not have shared information about the trans lover living with the shooter.
00:17:10.000And by helpful, he means not helpful to covering up the ideology of the shooter.
00:17:15.000I wonder what you make of the reporting that uh the suspect was carrying on a romantic relationship with a roommate who happens to be transgender, and how that is now being spun to suggest that that has something to do with this.
00:17:30.000At this point, it's unclear that it does, but how do investigators determine that?
00:17:37.000Oh, the first thing I want to be on record saying is that I I think that's not not only helpful for the for the um investigation to put that out, but it's not really helpful for the the tone and tenor of the radicalization of our country right now.
00:17:50.000Uh, we've seen time and time again over the last year how uh people of the trans community have been blamed for a whole host of things.
00:17:56.000And so I think that putting that out there, and if you look Online, like I do, you see a lot of people picking that up on the far right.
00:18:02.000They're looking to demonize and blame trans people.
00:19:53.000And if the motive were reversed, you know that it would to you.
00:19:57.000Well, will the rhetoric get toned down?
00:19:59.000I mean, again, I go back to what was on the bullet from this kid was fascism, and that's that's only coming from one side currently in this debate, and it's on every placard and every poster around the country.
00:20:11.000I mean, I think it's a valid question, but are they gonna live up to what they say they're going to do with the Nazi and the fascism and the like?
00:20:17.000I yeah, do you I don't think we know just to be clear, I mean, just law enforcement people are thinking I don't think we know the meaning uh uh of his message.
00:21:14.000Using the rhetoric of rage and calling some of our fellow Americans scum, no matter how profound our differences only creates more division.
00:21:20.000We are at an inflection point in America.
00:21:22.000Violence transcends party lines, and the way to address it and have true peaceful debate is for leaders to speak and act with moral clarity.
00:21:28.000That needs to start with the president.
00:21:29.000He said that in response to Donald Trump pointing out that the problem right now is on the left, which it largely is.
00:21:35.000And Governor Shapiro should know that, since the person who burned the house that he and his family were in was doing so over Israel.
00:21:41.000That was not coming from the right, that was coming from the left, obviously.
00:21:46.000Okay, but that that's actually not even the worst form of the response to this news.
00:21:50.000The worst form continues to be the stream, the SETI stream turning into a gushing river of attacks on Charlie Kirk, on President Trump, justifications of violence.
00:22:02.000I gotta say, that there is a streamer named Destiny.
00:22:05.000You may remember Destiny from last year when he and I had a debate on Lex Friedman.
00:22:09.000And, you know, it was it was friendly enough.
00:22:11.000I'm a little perturbed to find that apparently destiny wants us all dead.
00:22:16.000That seems sort of strange and odd and unpleasant.
00:22:21.000I mean, he was supposed to be the reasonable liberal, and it turns out that he is totally fine with people getting killed, which is a hell of a take here.
00:22:30.000When you say you can't get along with people like this, yeah, yes, I think, yes.
00:22:37.000You need conservatives to be afraid of getting killed when they go to events so that they look to their leadership to turn down the temperature.
00:22:44.000The issue is right now, they don't feel like there's any fear.
00:23:26.000I don't want your salvation's I want you to fing die.
00:23:32.000We're not gonna give you a second chance, even when you bet for it on your knees, begging and bleeding.
00:23:40.000So, first of all, not good at guitar, also terrible voice.
00:23:46.000Like two out of ten musical skill, but speaks to a broader problem, obviously.
00:23:53.000Meanwhile, people just lying about Charlie, right?
00:23:55.000Which is a tacit justification of violence against him.
00:23:58.000As I've been saying, if your response to someone getting killed in the political realm, who's in the normie political realm, if you're if your response to them is too bad they were killed, but Charlie was as normally as it comes.
00:24:14.000If your response to that is to then slander him by attributing to him beliefs he did not have, then I think you are part of the problem.
00:24:22.000You are fomenting the permission structure for violence, as I've been saying.
00:24:24.000Jamel Hill, who is just made a joke of herself, honestly.
00:24:29.000Uh, it is shocking to me that at any point she was taken seriously.
00:24:32.000But but she went out there and said that the thing about Charlie is that he believes in the innate superiority of white people.
00:25:11.000And here's Jamel Hill claiming that Charlie was some sort of white supremacist.
00:25:15.000The reason he was labeled a white supremacist is because he believed in the superiority of white people, which is why he said that a he would be concerned if he saw a black pilot.
00:25:30.000Which is why he said that he questioned the brain processing of brilliant minds such as Joy Ann Reed and Kentaji Brown Jackson, because he ultimately believed in the superiority of a white people.
00:25:47.000What he said about the black pilots is he said affirmative action, this is a commonly made argument, by the way.
00:25:52.000Affirmative action assumes that black people need extra points in order to achieve the same result as a person who is not black.
00:26:00.000And what that does is it seeds doubt in the minds of people who then see black people in particular slots, and that's unfair to the black people.
00:26:07.000That was the argument that Charlie was making.
00:26:09.000That black people aren't inferior and therefore don't need extra points to become pilots, for example.
00:26:14.000They don't need DEI to become good pilots.
00:26:17.000And when you stack DEI on top of the meritocracy, what you end up with is a false perception of the inferiority of particular peoples.
00:26:24.000It was anti-racist, what Charlie was saying.
00:26:27.000And as far as his point about Katanji Brown Jackson or Joy Reed not being particularly bright, right, because they're not.
00:26:36.000It turns out they're a bunch of white people who are dumb, also, but these happen to be black people who are dumb.
00:26:47.000Meanwhile, Don Lemon, he too is very upset with all the tributes being paid to Charlie.
00:26:52.000So Don Lemon, who couldn't hold down that job over at CNN, and who now has a viewership of apparently my viewers, because I think that's his only viewership is when he played His clips on my show.
00:27:01.000Here is Don Lemon, who is tearing into Charlie.
00:27:05.000The things that came out of Charlie Kirk's mouth were many, much of it was hurtful, discriminatory, ignorant.
00:27:19.000And I'll stop there, to say the least.
00:27:23.000Well, I mean, if Don Lemon says so, then it must be false.
00:27:28.000Meanwhile, a pastor named Howard John Wesley at the Alfred Street Baptist Church in DC went viral over the course of the last 48 hours for issuing a massive rebuke of Charlie Kirk, basically saying that your death does not justify your life.
00:28:16.000And then these hypocrites with selective rage who were mad about Charlie Kirk, but didn't say anything about Melissa Hortman and her husband when they were gunned down in their living room.
00:28:37.000Tell me that I ought to have compassion for the death of a man who never showed compassion or respect for my life.
00:28:49.000Y'all, there's nowhere in Bible we are told to honor evil.
00:29:27.000And again, this is all part and parcel of the far left's attempt to paint everybody who is on the right as the worst version of evil.
00:29:36.000Representative Jasmine Crockett was on The Breakfast Club with Charlemagne and defended herself, calling Trump a wannabe Hitler.
00:29:44.000And again, it's this sort of line that Trump is Hitler that leads people to believe, hey, maybe if he's Hitler, you know what should have happened to Hitler.
00:29:51.000Now here's Jasmine Crockett cooling the temperature by zero degrees.
00:29:55.000We've got to talk about like what it means when you're running for president or you're running for one of these higher offices, and you go out there and you talk about beating people up.
00:30:02.000You go out there and you say things like, I could shoot somebody in the middle of the street in New York, and I could still win.
00:30:08.000We gotta talk about like that, that is next level.
00:30:11.000Me disagreeing with you, me calling you, you know, a wannabe Hitler, all those things are like not necessarily saying go out and hurt somebody.
00:30:20.000But when you're literally telling people at rallies, yeah, beat them up, and that kind of stuff, like you are promoting like a culture of violence, so we need to talk about like what it looks like when you don't promote a culture of violence.
00:30:33.000Um, I mean, you say that you you're not promoting culture of violence by defending yourself calling Trump a wannabe Hitler.
00:30:40.000So, this brings us to the left-wing response that is sort of the normie left-wing response, and that is a sort of generic rejection of political violence.
00:30:47.000So Nancy Pelosi, she came out and said, you know, people don't have any intention to lead to something dangerous.
00:30:52.000I mean, we we just, you know, no more political violence.
00:30:58.000People don't have any intention of saying something that's gonna lead to something dangerous, but we cannot take responsibility for the minds that are out there and how they hear it.
00:31:12.000Booty judge came out, he said, we have to reject those who celebrate political violence, which again on a sort of anodyne level is correct, but it doesn't go far enough.
00:31:21.000In order to turn the tide of political violence, yes, we have to reject those who commit political violence.
00:31:29.000Yes, we have to Reject those who celebrate or promote political violence, but also in order to deprive political violence of its power, we have to reject anyone who would try to exploit political violence.
00:31:43.000The response to this cannot be for the government to crack down on individuals or groups, not because of violence, but because they challenge the government politically.
00:31:57.000Okay, so here is what an actual real response would look like.
00:32:01.000Senator John Fetterman, who is apparently the only sane person in the Democratic Party, or at least one of the few.
00:33:33.000She's a terrible columnist for quote speaking out against political violence, racial double double standards, and America's apathy toward guns.
00:33:40.000Well, that's not actually what happened.
00:33:43.000What actually happened is that she quoted Charlie Kirk falsely.
00:34:30.000Now, I've been pretty consistent about this, because I think that, again, the consequences of saying vile things in the real world, those are real consequences, and they exist.
00:34:40.000And we have to be pretty careful about where we apply those consequences.
00:34:43.000But we shouldn't pretend that there should be no consequences in the real world when people say vile things, and not all things are created equal.
00:34:50.000I do not think that saying truly awful things is the same as saying a boy is not a girl, for example.
00:34:57.000I'm not going to play the moral relativist game because I don't think it's accurate.
00:35:01.000By the same token, I do not think that it is a good idea to speak the way that the Attorney General Pambandi spoke yesterday.
00:35:08.000Now, the Trump administration is talking about doing some effective things to clamp down on groups that actually do foment violence.
00:35:15.000So, for example, JD Vance had Stephen Miller on Charlie's show yesterday.
00:35:20.000And Stephen was talking about dismantling NGOs that advocate for violence, which, of course, you can do.
00:35:26.000I mean, advocating for violence, inciting violence is in fact a crime, and you can shut down organizations that involve themselves in that.
00:35:38.000A lot of people are very worried about how we got here in the first place.
00:35:42.000And you have the crazies on the far left who are saying, oh, Stephen Miller and J.D. Vance, they're going to go after constitutionally protected speech.
00:35:58.000Violence is not okay in our system, And we want to make it less likely that that happens.
00:36:02.000Chip Roy over in Congress doing the same thing.
00:36:04.000He's trying to launch a select committee to prove radical left organizations that foment violence.
00:36:09.000He said, quote, we've seen dangerous networks like Antifa organize, fund and deploy sophisticated terror campaigns, attacking law enforcement and destroying American cities.
00:36:17.000We've seen George Soros, the Ren Collective, and other radical organizations funding and putting in place district attorneys and judges to then coordinate releasing criminals to the streets.
00:36:26.000We must follow the money to identify the perpetrators of coordinated anti-American assaults being carried out against us and take all steps under the law necessary to stop them.
00:36:34.000He says we can no longer pretend to be bound together by shared ideals when a well-funded vitriolic cadre of our fellow Americans and foreign interests are at war with the very values of faith in God, fidelity to our Constitution, and respect for the principles of liberty and Western civilization that define us as Americans, including notably the free speech practice and exemplified by Charlie Kirk.
00:36:52.000So again, that is not that is not Chip Roy calling for an end of free speech.
00:36:56.000The idea there is that there is actual crime, actual violence, conspiracy to commit violent act being perpetuated by particular groups and paid for by other groups.
00:37:28.000There is no category of speech called hate speech because it's a totally malleable category until 20 seconds ago is considered hate speech to say, as Charlie said, as I've been saying for my entire career, that boys are not girls.
00:37:41.000So yeah, we're not going to do this, what Pam Bondi is saying here.
00:37:44.000There's free speech and then there's hate speech.
00:37:46.000And there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie in our society.
00:37:53.000Do you see more law enforcement going after these groups who are using hate speech and putting cuffs on people so we show them that some action is better than no action?
00:38:04.000We will absolutely target you, go after you if you are targeting anyone with hate speech, anything, and that's across the aisle.
00:38:15.000Well, well, I do not think that that is that no.
00:38:24.000But there are things that the federal government can do to, for example, investigate groups like Antifa, see where they get their money, use actual law enforcement resources to crack down on violent groups, like apparently the violent group that was online that was coordinating, possibly, to kill Charlie Kirk.
00:38:43.000There is a difference between the mainstream normie Americans.
00:38:46.000I think on both sides of the aisle and what we are seeing that is cropping up everywhere.
00:38:50.000This permission structure that exists.
00:38:52.000Again, it's a leg it's it's a luxury belief, as my friend Rob Henderson says, a luxury belief by elites that violence, political violence is justified so long as it's people who agree with me.
00:39:03.000That is not something most Americans go along with.
00:39:08.000I think we can come together around that, but we are gonna have to extirpate movements in the United States ideologically and through social pressure.
00:39:15.000We should extirpate movements that are fundamentally grounded in conspiracy theories about the world that promote violence because they say the conspiracy can only be fought through mechanisms of violence and that violence is therefore deserved.
00:39:26.000We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:39:28.000First, when inflation jumps, when you hear the national debt is over 37 trillion dollars, they would think maybe now would be a pretty good time to buy some gold.
00:39:34.000Whether to protect against the dollar's loss in purchasing power for peace of mind during global instability or just for a sensible diversification.
00:39:40.000Birch Gold Group believes every American should own physical gold.
00:39:43.000So along with the Daily Wire, Birch Gold created something special this month through September 30th.
00:39:48.000If you buy from Birchgold, you will get a signed copy of my brand new book, Lions and Scavengers, plus your very own golden Ben Shapiro bookmark.
00:42:05.000I'm excited to welcome Governor Hokel to our movement and to show the partnership at hand between City Hall and Albany in fighting to make the most expensive city in the United States of America affordable and in fighting back against an authoritarian administration that seeks to tear apart the very fabric of this city.
00:42:29.000So glad that the Democratic Party that wants to fight extremism and violence is endorsing a person who, you know, wants to globalize the Intifada.
00:43:17.000Even if Cuomo dropped out, half of Cuomo's support would then bleed over to Mamdani.
00:43:21.000With that said, Mamdani is currently the overwhelming favorite to win in New York, demonstrating once again that New Yorkers can seize defeat from the draws of victory by electing actual communists to high office.
00:43:32.000Well, meanwhile, the president of the United States continues to move on his anti-crime crusade.
00:43:37.000He announced yesterday that he would be sending the National Guard to Memphis and New Orleans.
00:43:42.000He will have legal authority to do that because presumably the governors of both Louisiana and Tennessee are going to not only go along with President Trump's move, they're going to ask him to do it.
00:44:25.000The president put out a statement on Truth Social quote: the only reason crime is somewhat down in Memphis is because the FBI and others in the federal government at my direction have been working there for five months on the absolutely terrible crime numbers.
00:45:54.000It is a maybe John Fetterman for president.
00:45:57.000I mean, honestly, like he the the last rational democrat.
00:46:01.000Meanwhile, President Trump, you know, for all the talk about President Trump being a racist, he seems to be taking a very strong interest in the murder and beheading of an Indian origin hotel manager allegedly by a Cuban illegal immigrant in Dallas last week.
00:46:13.000He went on Truth Social and he commented on the murder of Chandra Muli Nagamalia, who's 50, attacked by with a machete by his co-worker in front of his wife and child after an argument over a broken washing machine.
00:46:27.000And President Trump put out a statement saying about the perpetrator, this individual was previously arrested for terrible crimes, including child grand theft auto, and false imprisonment, but was sent back into our homeland under incompetent Joe Biden because Cuba did not want such an evil person in their country.
00:46:41.000Rest assured, the time for being soft on these illegal immigrant criminals is over under my watch.
00:46:47.000Okay, well, again, it's har it's hard to argue that that's not a big win for President Trump.
00:46:51.000It continues to be a winner for President Trump, obviously.
00:46:56.000Meanwhile, the President continues to say that his patience is running out with Vladimir Putin.
00:47:00.000Vladimir Putin has continued to up the ante over and over and over again with regards to Ukraine.
00:47:07.000Obviously, just a few days ago, Vladimir Putin flew a bunch of drones into Poland, which is obviously an attempt to sort of probe the defenses of a NATO ally.
00:47:15.000President Trump said on Fox and Friends that his patience is running out.
00:47:22.000Yeah, it's sort of running out and running out fast.
00:48:01.000I mean, I I'm not gonna defend anybody, but the Poland, they were actually knocked down and they fell into an area.
00:48:05.000But he shouldn't be close to Poland anyway.
00:48:09.000Well, you know, that is right, but they're gonna have to be some sort of actual consequences here.
00:48:14.000The Native Secretary General Mark Rudy, who's been quite allied with President Trump's demands for higher payments from various European states, he said Russia's drone incursion is dangerous and unacceptable, which of course it is.
00:48:25.000What happened on Wednesday was not an isolated incident.
00:48:29.000Russia's recklessness in the air along our eastern flank is increasing in frequency.
00:48:36.000We have seen drones violate our airspace in Romania, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
00:48:43.000Whether intentional or not, it is dangerous and unacceptable.
00:48:50.000At a meeting of the North Atlantic Council on Wednesday morning, allies discussed the situation in light of Poland's request for Article 4 consultations.
00:49:00.000Allies expressed full solidarity with Poland and denounced Russia's reckless behavior.
00:49:07.000President Trump has responded to all of this by saying that he will impose new sanctions on Russia if Europe is willing to cut off getting its oil supply from the Russians, which does make some sense considering again that the Russians are buying extraordinary quantities of oil still from a country they are at war with, effectively, in Russia.
00:49:24.000Here is President Trump saying just that.
00:50:13.000Now, the way the United States can help out with this is by subsidizing LNG to Europe.
00:50:18.000Effectively, a new Marshall Plan that will keep Russia away from its predations in Ukraine, and that will strengthen Europe in the face of the Russian bear, prop up their economies, which is actually not a terrible thing, and also effectively allow the Europeans to get off of Russian oil and make the Europeans frankly more dependent on the United States, which is not a terrible idea.
00:50:40.000That should be a next move to be considered.
00:50:43.000As long as we're doing state subsidized trade, that should be something that we consider pretty strongly right now.
00:50:48.000Alrighty, folks, we'll get to the member block in just a moment.
