00:02:21.000 A lot of different stories I want to get to here.
00:02:22.000 Let's start with this one.
00:02:23.000 This was really interesting, which is, i'm not really sure, the motive here maybe ratings, because the ratings at CNN are so abysmal.
00:02:32.000 In fact, let's actually read with that lead with that one, Joe Rogan.
00:02:35.000 He's just terrific.
00:02:37.000 I get these emails from people they say, Charlie, do you know Joe Rogan does drugs?
00:02:41.000 Yeah, i'm actually very aware that Joe Rogan does drugs.
00:02:44.000 I obviously disagree with him on that.
00:02:46.000 I also think he's awesome because he tells the truth.
00:02:49.000 He has bucked the covet establishment.
00:02:52.000 He has courage.
00:02:53.000 He's hilarious.
00:02:54.000 Charlie, do you know Joe Rogan swears?
00:02:56.000 Yeah I, I am aware that that Joe Rogan swears.
00:03:00.000 Someone emailed me.
00:03:01.000 Charlie, stop praising Joe Rogan.
00:03:02.000 He's a sexual anarchist, like, first of all, you got that term from us and just calm down.
00:03:08.000 Okay, we're trying to build a coalition for liberty.
00:03:12.000 I'm not going to endorse positions of Joe Rogan I disagree with.
00:03:15.000 With that being said, his show is the most successful, most popular podcast ever and he's a normal, real person and he's been willing to say what is necessary.
00:03:25.000 And i'll be honest with you, I have more respect for Joe Rogan than most of America's pastors.
00:03:31.000 That went along with Blm and the vaccine mandates and Joe Rogan talking about Ivermectin challenge the media industrial complex.
00:03:43.000 It's been phenomenal.
00:03:44.000 Okay, let's start with Joe Rogan, then we'll get to CNN, because there's this really interesting story with fake Jake Tapper.
00:03:50.000 Let's start with cut 17.
00:03:52.000 Joe Rogan talking about CNN, play cut 17. 0.99
00:03:56.000 Well, I think CNN is realizing that their ratings are dog shit and that having these highly polarizing editorial personalities. 0.99
00:04:07.000 I don't want this left-wing propaganda network, which is what CNN's become. 0.99
00:04:11.000 The way I look at CNN now is so differently than the way I looked at CNN of 15, 20 years ago.
00:04:17.000 That's such a good point.
00:04:18.000 CNN used to be the trusted place for breaking news, especially their war coverage was always right on the front lines.
00:04:25.000 It was always a little, you know, it was very aggressive.
00:04:28.000 It was very, aggressive is not the right word.
00:04:30.000 It was very bold.
00:04:30.000 It was very assertive.
00:04:31.000 And honestly, it was really courageous journalism they used to do in the 1990s and early 2000s.
00:04:37.000 Ted Turner always wanted to build a legitimate news network.
00:04:40.000 I mean, Tucker Carlson worked for CNN at one point, to give you an idea.
00:04:44.000 Newt Gingrich worked for CNN at one point.
00:04:46.000 He had a show on CNN.
00:04:48.000 Roger Stone used to work with CNN.
00:04:51.000 He used to go on CNN.
00:04:52.000 Did Roger Stone ever work for CNN?
00:04:54.000 He used to go on CNN.
00:04:57.000 I don't think Roger Stone's allowed on CNN anymore.
00:05:00.000 But CNN made this decision that they wanted to become a Democrat super PAC, that they wanted to become a political action vehicle.
00:05:08.000 Now, Jake Tapper, despite being incredibly dishonest and unfair to so many different people, he came out and said something that is so interesting and diagnosed one of the major problems in America, which is how the most powerful people on the planet, especially the most powerful people in America, are bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party. 0.74
00:05:38.000 They are corrupt to the core, that they have sold their soul to their Chinese masters, from the NBA to Hollywood to Wall Street to academia. 1.00
00:05:52.000 And the Democrat Party knows that China is on pace to overtake America, and they're perfectly okay with it because the Democrat Party hates America more than they fear China. 0.76
00:06:06.000 They say, okay, if China's going to be number one, as long as America is weakened and as long as we're in control, you see, the Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, Schumer, they would rather be in charge of a weaker America than be displaced from power and have America be strong.
00:06:29.000 Nothing about the agenda of the left or the Democrat Party or the collectivists, the statists, the authoritarians, the tyrants, whatever you want to call them.
00:06:36.000 Nothing about what they're trying to do is actually trying to strengthen the country for the inevitable collision that we are heading towards China. 0.73
00:06:46.000 But Jake Tapper, mainly because of his concerns over Peng Shui, Peng, who is the tennis player, am I getting that right?
00:06:58.000 Accused China's former vice premier, Zhang Gallo, of sexually assaulting her.
00:07:05.000 And so then she disappeared, of course, because it's China. 0.96
00:07:08.000 Tapper emphasized the World Tennis Association's attempt to protest China's brutality.
00:07:14.000 I'm reading from Media.
00:07:15.000 I can't believe I'm reading from Media.
00:07:16.000 It's kind of a weird segment as this.
00:07:19.000 Is far more strident than what the International Olympic Committee has done to prepare to host for the 2020 Winter Games.
00:07:27.000 Tapper said, yes, the Olympics are supposed to be free and without politics, but this is not about politics.
00:07:33.000 The allegations against the Chinese government go far beyond its treatment of Shui.
00:07:36.000 That's the least of our concerns.
00:07:37.000 But the real problem is that people that pay U.S. taxes and that are allegedly U.S. citizens, they have gotten unbelievably rich off of allowing China to rise to power.
00:07:51.000 Many members at the top levels of the generation that came to power in the 70s and 80s, the Septuagintarian generation, the Pelosi and Schumers, they prioritized instant stimulus profits from mainland China over the welfare of the nation.
00:08:09.000 Here's CNN Jake Tapper.
00:08:11.000 I mean, he just unleashes on this.
00:08:13.000 I'm sure he'll be reprimanded.
00:08:15.000 Play cut 13 right now.
00:08:18.000 That Simpsons episode in Hong Kong disappeared like Peng Shui. 0.98
00:08:24.000 Disappeared like citizen journalist Zhang Zhen, whom the Chinese government has locked up for telling the truth about COVID-19.
00:08:32.000 Disappeared like the consciences of the millionaires and billionaires in Hollywood and the NBA and the IOC and Wall Street are all so eager for Chinese cash. 0.98
00:08:43.000 They are pretending none of this is happening.
00:08:46.000 There is no amount of money that can buy enough soap to wash that blood off their hands.
00:08:55.000 So I'm going to give you the cynical interpretation, then I'm going to give you the other interpretation.
00:09:01.000 The cynical interpretation is Jake Tapper doesn't believe that.
00:09:05.000 And he found some sort of intern that isn't a Bolshevik at CNN and said, hey, I want the 9 p.m. slot for Fredo that was just fired. 0.72
00:09:13.000 Can you just like take some of Tucker's monologues and then launder them through a CNN filter and then let me say them because then I can get the 9 p.m. slot.
00:09:21.000 That's the cynical interpretation is that Jake Tapper found some intern that isn't a communist at CNN and wrote that monologue after.
00:09:29.000 I'll be honest, that was a copy paste of something that Tucker Carlson has been saying for the last three years.
00:09:35.000 And Jake Tapper, who wants to be the 9 p.m. host, now that Fredo is gone, he smells blood in the water.
00:09:40.000 And I'll be honest, Jake Tapper would do a better job than Chris Cuomo.
00:09:43.000 And look, we'll talk a little about Chris Cuomo after the break.
00:09:46.000 Chris Cuomo's been fired.
00:09:47.000 It's been a bad year for the Cuomos.
00:09:50.000 And I don't know.
00:09:53.000 A lot of people are like delighting in the fall of Chris Cuomo.
00:09:57.000 I'm not really big in.
00:09:58.000 I'm not big into that stuff.
00:09:59.000 I'm not. 1.00
00:10:00.000 I think Chris Cuomo is a piece of garbage. 1.00
00:10:02.000 I think he's actually really stupid. 1.00
00:10:05.000 He's just very uninteresting too. 1.00
00:10:08.000 But I don't know.
00:10:09.000 I have a rule.
00:10:10.000 I don't like to delight in the downfall of others unless with some very, very certain exceptions.
00:10:16.000 Very certain exceptions.
00:10:18.000 Will I do that?
00:10:20.000 And I'm not saying Chris Cuomo's a victim, and I don't feel sorry for him.
00:10:23.000 I don't.
00:10:24.000 I think he's just so uninteresting.
00:10:26.000 And I think we're giving him way bigger of a pedestal than he actually deserves.
00:10:31.000 But I'm going to finish the Jake Tapper analysis because the cynical interpretation is he wants the 9 p.m. slot on CNN.
00:10:37.000 Or maybe there's a non-cynical interpretation.
00:10:39.000 Far less likely, but it does give me a little bit of hope.
00:10:42.000 Am I allowed to have hope when I watch CNN?
00:10:45.000 Look what is going on.
00:10:48.000 I've been telling you guys about Relief Factor for quite some time.
00:10:51.000 And truth is, I know millions of people are in fact, 100 million people are in some kind of pain.
00:10:55.000 Look, producer Andrew, he couldn't walk.
00:10:57.000 He was a hobbled individual. 0.96
00:10:59.000 He was bedridden in his chair, complaining all the time.
00:11:03.000 And then all of a sudden we got this call from Relief Factor.
00:11:05.000 They said, hey, we want to partner with your show.
00:11:07.000 We're going to send you some Relief Factor.
00:11:09.000 Producer Andrew got it.
00:11:10.000 He took it, got a little bit better, took some more, got a little bit better.
00:11:13.000 Next thing you know, he's doing the Fallsberry flop like you wouldn't believe.
00:11:17.000 In fact, he might be training for an Ironman.
00:11:20.000 It's pretty incredible.
00:11:21.000 Now, he says it's thanks to Relief Factor.
00:11:23.000 I ask him all the time, Relief Factor?
00:11:25.000 He says relief factor.com, 100% drug-free supplement.
00:11:28.000 You can get it for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day.
00:11:30.000 So go to relieffactor.com, and I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start to see if we can get you out of pain.
00:11:36.000 And then after that, it's less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day to stay out of pain.
00:11:38.000 So go to relieffactor.com.
00:11:40.000 That is relieffactor.com.
00:11:42.000 I'm telling you, a lot of people are in pain.
00:11:43.000 It's 100% drug-free.
00:11:45.000 Don't go to opioids.
00:11:46.000 Don't go to these other things.
00:11:47.000 Check it out at relieffactor.com.
00:11:52.000 Jake Tapper goes after China in an interesting turn of events. 0.89
00:11:57.000 Tapper says, of course, Apple and Nike publicly claimed to decry slave labor, but to be clear, the behavior we are seeing from U.S. corporations is not about a company surviving.
00:12:07.000 It's about discontent, which is hundreds of millions of dollars, desiring instead of billions of dollars.
00:12:13.000 There is no amount of money that can wash the blood off their hands.
00:12:17.000 And so the cynical interpretation is, and it's probably the right interpretation, is that he just wants to have the nine o'clock slot now that Chris Cuomo is gone, fired, done from CNN for helping his brother.
00:12:28.000 Obviously not fired for lying or doing all the other things he did.
00:12:32.000 No, but he's fired because he helped his brother, which who wouldn't help your brother in a time of need.
00:12:38.000 But the interesting thing here is that is there a change happening among some people on the left towards China?
00:12:47.000 Or are we just fooling ourselves and this is all just a bunch of hocus pocus?
00:12:51.000 It's probably hocus pocus. 0.89
00:12:52.000 It's probably just a bunch of smokescreen and nonsense.
00:12:56.000 Now, the Biden regime has announced that they're doing a diplomatic boycott of China, which is basically a toothless way for that they could say, oh, yeah, we're being tough on China.
00:13:05.000 Like, really?
00:13:06.000 We need a lot more than a diplomatic boycott of China.
00:13:08.000 Now, does that mean the athletes will boycott?
00:13:10.000 I don't think so, right, Connor?
00:13:11.000 The athletes are still going.
00:13:13.000 Now, people are torn on this.
00:13:14.000 My friend and the terrific senator, Senator Ted Cruz, says we shouldn't boycott and we should go to the Olympics and that we should win and that we should kick their tail and that we should show them that we are better than them.
00:13:26.000 The other side is that we should boycott the Olympics and it would basically destroy the Olympics as is because without the Americans, every other team would know that it's really not a legitimate Olympics.
00:13:37.000 I haven't really come to a solid opinion.
00:13:39.000 I'll be very honest with you.
00:13:40.000 And I'd love your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:13:40.000 I'm torn.
00:13:43.000 I see it both ways.
00:13:45.000 I see it the Ted Cruz way.
00:13:46.000 So just so you know, that there is, there's Winter Olympics coming up this February where all of us decide to really care about America's janitorial community while we watch stones being glided across ice in a hurry while we try to get them in the midst of a circle.
00:14:04.000 Now, I love curling because the barrier to entry for curling is nothing.
00:14:11.000 I'm not saying it's not difficult, but I'm saying that some of these guys that are curlers, you would, they're immistakable to TSA agents.
00:14:21.000 It's brilliant.
00:14:22.000 I'm not saying that as a pejorative, by the way.
00:14:24.000 I'm just saying that if you go look at the average diver and the average curler, big difference.
00:14:32.000 And I agree.
00:14:32.000 Producer Andrew sent me a note.
00:14:34.000 He says, I love curling.
00:14:35.000 It's bizarrely fascinating.
00:14:36.000 I totally agree.
00:14:38.000 And what I love about the Olympics, same with soccer, is that all of a sudden we become immensely obsessed about a sport that we otherwise do not care about the rest of the couple years.
00:14:49.000 So yeah, I'm really big in deluge.
00:14:52.000 I love it.
00:14:53.000 And then it's like, as soon as the Olympics are over, you don't think about it.
00:14:56.000 You forget the name of the sport.
00:14:57.000 You don't even remember.
00:14:58.000 But I kind of enjoy it because the reason we love it, though, is that it's patriotism on display.
00:15:07.000 And so I would love your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:15:09.000 I see it both ways.
00:15:10.000 I'm probably in the camp of a full boycott, just so we're clear.
00:15:14.000 But there's this tension, right?
00:15:16.000 Is that fair to the athletes that have trained so hard and they want an opportunity to try to win?
00:15:22.000 At the same time, is participating in the Olympics validating the murderous enemy regime? 0.79
00:15:30.000 Now, we've boycotted Olympics before.
00:15:33.000 We boycotted the German Olympics, I think, in the 1930s.
00:15:39.000 Is that right, Connor?
00:15:40.000 Sort of.
00:15:42.000 And then I think we boycotted one of the Soviet games, if I'm not mistaken.
00:15:45.000 We definitely boycotted one with the Soviet Union in the 70s or 80s.
00:15:50.000 I'm trying to think out loud here.
00:15:51.000 I know we did.
00:15:52.000 I'm positive of that.
00:15:54.000 And so there is this disagreement, and Biden has now says it's a diplomatic boycott, meaning basically we're not going to send.
00:16:02.000 We did, we boycotted in 1980.
00:16:04.000 That's what I thought.
00:16:05.000 Somewhat right.
00:16:07.000 And that was to the Soviet Union's intervention in Afghanistan.
00:16:10.000 Yeah, what kind of countries invade Afghanistan?
00:16:12.000 Who would do such a thing as that?
00:16:13.000 Right. 0.99
00:16:14.000 So ridiculous. 0.99
00:16:16.000 Who dare would invade Afghanistan and stay there for 20 years? 0.99
00:16:20.000 What kind of people would do that?
00:16:22.000 Who would give weapons to the Taliban? 0.95
00:16:24.000 Terrible people. 0.51
00:16:25.000 We should boycott their games.
00:16:30.000 I see it both ways.
00:16:32.000 But the deeper point is: let's say we fully boycotted the Chinese Olympics.
00:16:38.000 That is not even close to what we should be doing with China.
00:16:40.000 We should say, no more products from China, 100% tariffs.
00:16:44.000 No more children get to go to U.S. universities from the CCP. 0.84
00:16:47.000 If you attack us cyber again, we are going to retaliate.
00:16:50.000 No islands in the South China Sea.
00:16:52.000 You touch Taiwan.
00:16:53.000 You will feel the full fury of every type of military technology we have.
00:16:57.000 That's what it should be.
00:17:00.000 Internet privacy is extremely important.
00:17:02.000 New news out shows that Google has been colluding with the federal government to hand over your data if you might have searched something wrong into the search bar.
00:17:13.000 So what are you doing to protect your search history?
00:17:16.000 Well, this is why you need ExpressVPN.
00:17:19.000 Using the internet without ExpressVPN is like going to the bathroom and not closing the door.
00:17:25.000 It's in fact even worse than that.
00:17:26.000 It's inviting someone into the bathroom, which is really weird and creepy.
00:17:29.000 Internet service providers know every single website you visit.
00:17:33.000 ISPs can sell this data and information to ad companies and tech giants who then use your data to target you.
00:17:41.000 ExpressVPN creates a secure, encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet.
00:17:46.000 So your online activity cannot be seen by anyone.
00:17:50.000 It's as easy as closing the bathroom door and fire up the app and click one button.
00:17:54.000 I use it on all my devices.
00:17:56.000 Every device, I have those beautiful three letters, VPN with a rectangle around it.
00:18:02.000 It's rated number one by CNET and tech radar.
00:18:06.000 Here's the cool thing: it works on phones, laptops, and even routers.
00:18:10.000 So everyone who shares your Wi-Fi can be protected.
00:18:14.000 Here's the thing: I have it on my iPhone, I have it on my iPad, I have it on my computer.
00:18:19.000 Express VPN for me has been a game changer to be able to know that the tech companies or the government have to go through a whole other barrier to try to spy on us.
00:18:30.000 And we see with the new announcements out of DC, if you spoke at a school board meeting lately, you better get a VPN.

00:18:55.000 David emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:18:57.000 He said, instead of the athletes boycotting the games, why don't we let the snowflakes go over and protest along with the athletes during the games?
00:19:03.000 If they arrested and kicked out of the games, at least they still showed up.
00:19:06.000 What do you think?
00:19:07.000 Definitely creative.
00:19:08.000 Not sure it would work.
00:19:09.000 Okay, but the question is, and Biden has said that they're going to do a diplomatic boycott.
00:19:14.000 That doesn't mean the athletes will boycott.
00:19:16.000 Do we send them there?
00:19:17.000 Do we not?
00:19:18.000 And the bigger question when it comes to China is: are we going to be serious about the great enemy that we are going to be facing the next hundred years? 0.88
00:19:28.000 The answer for the NBA, the answer for Hollywood, the answer for Wall Street, the answer for many of the tech companies has been: we want to get endlessly rich off the Chinese Communist Party. 0.86
00:19:38.000 We built that.
00:19:40.000 You know, Barack Obama had that famous quote in 2012 when he was campaigning for president.
00:19:45.000 If you have a business, you did not build that.
00:19:49.000 Somebody else made that happen.
00:19:51.000 Well, China, I have a message for you. 0.94
00:19:53.000 You did not build that.
00:19:55.000 We made that happen.
00:19:56.000 Your entire empire is because of a massive labor arbitrage that we executed against our own people.
00:20:02.000 It was people from McKenzie, people like Mitt Romney, people that came from venture capital that cared more about trying to maximize pennies on a dollar to try to lower wages so that we can get more plastic from Wuhan.
00:20:14.000 And now vitamin C and penicillin and critical drugs are now made in mainland China and not in America.
00:20:22.000 We were always told that endless trade was going to just make us endlessly richer.
00:20:28.000 And look, trade can be a benefit.
00:20:30.000 Of course it can be, obviously.
00:20:32.000 It would be against economics to say that.
00:20:35.000 The question is, what's the downside?
00:20:38.000 A mature society asks the question: what's the cost?
00:20:43.000 There's a cost to everything.
00:20:45.000 And the cost is: okay, we get a bunch of piles of plastic from China, okay?
00:20:51.000 We get to be able to make points on the deal of opening up new manufacturing plants of a bunch of plastic we're never going to use or t-shirts we're never going to wear.
00:21:03.000 Okay.
00:21:04.000 What's the cost?
00:21:05.000 How about millions of your fellow countrymen here in America out of work that then go get displaced opioids and destroying the muscular class? 0.98
00:21:11.000 Oh, we don't care about them.
00:21:12.000 We just care about maximizing profits.
00:21:15.000 Well, what about the destruction of small-town America?
00:21:17.000 We don't care about that.
00:21:18.000 We just care about maximizing profits.
00:21:20.000 I'm not saying it didn't maximize profits, but was that holistically the best thing for the country?
00:21:25.000 Is it a good thing that we do not manufacture or we don't produce vitamin C in this country?
00:21:37.000 Now, I want to shift gears a little bit.
00:21:40.000 I go on China endlessly, and we've had Gordon Chang on it.
00:21:43.000 We are on this program.
00:21:45.000 We are probably one of the most, what's the best way I could say it?
00:21:52.000 Intense based on China. 0.99
00:21:55.000 They're an enemy.
00:21:56.000 We're already at war.
00:21:57.000 They declared war on us.
00:21:58.000 It's about time that we start to treat it that way.
00:22:01.000 And no, it's not a hot kinetic war, but they launched the virus.
00:22:05.000 They lied about it.
00:22:06.000 And they've benefited tremendously from the entire thing.
00:22:09.000 Meanwhile, the very low IQ, Lloyd Austin, who runs the Department of Defense, he refused to call China our enemy, just a foe, a competitor, a challenge.
00:22:24.000 Now, I got so many different ways I could try to go with this, but I do want to shift gears because I promised I would get to this kind of sequence of stories, which is the issue that I think is going to be one of the most vulnerable to the current Democrat regime is rising crime across the country.
00:22:49.000 Do we have that other tape I just sent you?
00:22:52.000 It's a remarkable tape.
00:22:54.000 It's 26.
00:22:55.000 Okay, I will call it.
00:22:57.000 Everybody, America is becoming a far more dangerous place to live.
00:23:00.000 You know this.
00:23:01.000 Crime is going up dramatically.
00:23:03.000 And almost no one wants to talk about it.
00:23:06.000 And I think it's getting so wildly out of control.
00:23:11.000 And of course, it's all in Democrat areas with Democrat DAs, with police forces that have been completely stripped down with very low morale.
00:23:19.000 Let's start with this.
00:23:20.000 Let's start with Cut 7, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney blasts the bad law and bad policy that has contributed to the crime wave gripping the Democrat-run city.
00:23:29.000 Play Cut 7.
00:23:30.000 Bad law and bad policy is driving this most recent spike in crime that we're seeing in Los Angeles.
00:23:38.000 If you look at the types of crimes that are concerning us right now, they are directly rooted in bad law from the legislature and bad policy from LA County District Attorney George Gascock.
00:23:50.000 Third world country is what some of these cities are becoming. 0.99
00:23:53.000 But if you ask AOC about it, Alexander Ecasio-Cortez, she says that, well, we just need to look at them in context and not create hysteria over them.
00:24:03.000 You see, everyone's a tough guy until you get mugged on the side of the street.
00:24:08.000 And I mean, the crime issue is a really interesting one for me.
00:24:12.000 It really is because I can understand at some point how AOC can convince herself that universal health care is better.
00:24:20.000 Obviously, it isn't and all that stuff.
00:24:22.000 I'm really interested, though.
00:24:24.000 Has she sat down and actually used her reason for, does she have any?
00:24:28.000 I don't know.
00:24:29.000 For more than 20 seconds and says, huh, when things get more dangerous, I don't maybe don't want to live in those places.
00:24:37.000 This is not a hard one.
00:24:39.000 You know, survival is a pretty easy sales pitch.
00:24:44.000 Like, hey, if you put us in office, you won't get mugged.
00:24:50.000 Hey, I could put that on bumper sticker.
00:24:53.000 Vote for me.
00:24:54.000 You won't get mugged.
00:24:58.000 It actually has a ring to it.
00:25:01.000 But AOC says, look, we have to look at these rising crime numbers in context and not create hysteria over them.
00:25:06.000 Play cut 19.
00:25:08.000 We are seeing these headlines about percentage increases.
00:25:11.000 I also want to make sure that this hysteria doesn't drive a hysteria and that we look at these numbers in context.
00:25:18.000 What context?
00:25:19.000 They're up double digits, AOC, in your district.
00:25:23.000 But for them, crime is just a social construct.
00:25:25.000 They're bad laws.
00:25:29.000 Now, this Cut 26 is incredible.
00:25:31.000 So news, the news channels have now become very similar to kind of, what was that old, that television, HGTV?
00:25:41.000 Right?
00:25:42.000 HGTV, they used to be like, here's how to create a kitchen cabinet.
00:25:47.000 Or it's like the food network, right?
00:25:49.000 Here's how to make better ZD.
00:25:52.000 Well, news are now, they are now becoming the home improvement food network equivalent for crime.
00:25:58.000 You see, news stations are now in the business of giving you advice how to avoid the thugs that might try to kill you.
00:26:08.000 Kitchen cabinet, baked ZD, stay in your car when you go to get gas.
00:26:13.000 Play Cut 26.
00:26:15.000 Here in Greenbelt, we have seen a couple of violent carjackings.
00:26:19.000 In the past week or so, Greenbelt Police responded to Breezewood Court just the other day.
00:26:25.000 Three men shot and wound, or I should say, three men shot and wounded a man and carjacked another person at gunpoint in the middle of the night in order to prevent a carjacking.
00:26:36.000 Well, here's what we should be doing.
00:26:38.000 Police say lock the doors when driving and when pumping gas.
00:26:42.000 In fact, stay in your car if you can at the gas station.
00:26:46.000 Always look around before getting out of your vehicle.
00:26:49.000 And if you are the victim of a carjacking, give up that car.
00:26:53.000 Your life is just not worth it.
00:26:55.000 Equip your vehicle with an anti-theft or GPS tracking device and allow yourself room and traffic to move around other cars.
00:27:03.000 Avoid getting boxed in, if you will, and keep your cell phone in your pocket rather than laying in your car.
00:27:11.000 For example, when you go to a mall or a shopping center, park in a busy area.
00:27:16.000 Don't park behind a large truck.
00:27:19.000 Park where you can be seen.
00:27:22.000 Wow.
00:27:24.000 Was that ABC to 7 Chicago?
00:27:26.000 I think so.
00:27:28.000 My favorite part of the entire thing, and he misspoke, he said, your life is not worth it.
00:27:32.000 No, your car is not worth it.
00:27:34.000 Okay.
00:27:34.000 Your life is worth it.
00:27:36.000 I'm trying to think if there's any way that sentence actually makes sense.
00:27:38.000 No, your life is worth it.
00:27:41.000 Now, maybe he's saying that your life is so important, it's not worth fighting for the car.
00:27:45.000 Oh, is that in Washington, D.C.?
00:27:46.000 I think that's what I know what he was trying to say.
00:27:49.000 But I love how they just kind of put up the do-it-yourself instruction manual.
00:27:53.000 Stay in your car.
00:27:54.000 So let me just make sure I understand this.
00:27:56.000 How do you pump your gas while you stay in your car?
00:27:59.000 There's only one state that I know that that's to Oregon and New Jersey, because they actually, by law, actually, does Oregon still have that?
00:28:06.000 I don't think so.
00:28:06.000 I think Oregon got rid of it.
00:28:07.000 New Jersey, for sure, you can't pump your own gas.
00:28:10.000 You know that, Connor?
00:28:11.000 You can't pump your own gas in New Jersey.
00:28:14.000 Last month was the gun industry's third busiest month ever, November ever, since record keeping began in the 1990s for guns.
00:28:22.000 People are starting to arm themselves.
00:28:25.000 Now, when you defund the police, you let criminals out like Daryl Brooks. 0.81
00:28:29.000 So, of course, we thought, you know, we memory hold the terrorist, the black terrorist in Waukesha, Wisconsin, who ran over six people and wounded 60 others.
00:28:42.000 We just totally forget about that because Daryl Brooks is not helpful to the current racially arsonist regime. 0.99
00:28:49.000 Daryl Brooks is actually very unhelpful to the regime.
00:28:53.000 But the rise in crime is an issue that you could say transcends almost every other issue.
00:29:01.000 And I will say Republicans are starting to speak out about it.
00:29:04.000 And it's really not that overly complicated.
00:29:07.000 More police, tougher laws, tougher sentencing for violent crime.
00:29:13.000 It's really that simple.
00:29:15.000 Arson, rape, sexual assault, carjacking, theft, you got to go to jail for quite some time.
00:29:23.000 But instead, we've enacted jailbreak pieces of legislation.
00:29:27.000 We have had a tremendous multi-dimensional push from George Soros, DAs, and others because they believe that the system itself is racist.
00:29:40.000 And we're seeing at every single turn that crime is skyrocketing nearly double digits.
00:29:48.000 Murder is up 77 to 80% in Austin, Texas alone.
00:29:52.000 How about Chicago?
00:29:53.000 All my friends listening on AM560, The Answer.
00:29:56.000 We do this about once a week, don't we?
00:29:57.000 We give the reflection of Chicago values.
00:30:00.000 755 people shot and killed so far in Chicago.
00:30:04.000 And hey, I think they're going to break their record.
00:30:06.000 December is quite a month.
00:30:08.000 3,549 shot and wounded.
00:30:11.000 4,304 people total shot for 803 total homicides. 0.97
00:30:15.000 Most of which of these, 95% of these, are black and black crime. 1.00
00:30:18.000 And we're supposed to believe that the real problem is white supremacy. 0.97
00:30:23.000 A person in Chicago is shot every one hour and 53 minutes, and they're murdered every 10 hours and eight minutes.
00:30:28.000 So by the next time you guys hear my broadcast tomorrow, three people will have been shot and killed in Chicago.
00:30:34.000 Three people.
00:30:36.000 Nine killed this last weekend and 23 wounded in Chicago and weekend shootings in Chicago.
00:30:43.000 Yeah, but don't bring in the National Guard or anything.
00:30:45.000 That's just who cares about that?
00:30:49.000 Look, everyone out there has been asking me, Charlie, how do I get more pillows?
00:30:53.000 Well, that's mypillow.com.
00:30:55.000 And MyPillow doesn't have their box stores anymore, so we got to help them out.
00:30:58.000 And part of them being canceled, they want to give you the lowest price yet.
00:31:02.000 So you can get the lowest price in the history of MyPillow for their classic standard MyPillow regularly, $69.98, now only $19.98 with the promo code.
00:31:12.000 They also have queen size, regularly $79.98 and $24.98 with a promo code.
00:31:18.000 Or king size, usually $89.98, only $29.98 with your promo code.
00:31:23.000 MyPillow is not just pillows.
00:31:24.000 They have over 150 products, everything from sleepwear to new beds.
00:31:27.000 Go to mypillow.com or call 800-875-0425 and use promo code Kirk because they give Andrew Mike's special offer on his standard MyPillow.
00:31:35.000 That's mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, or call 800-875-0425, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.
00:31:47.000 So there's a really interesting and tragic story unfolding in Michigan of the school shooting.
00:31:54.000 It's the Oxford High School shooting.
00:31:56.000 Now, let me just start with this: that the University of Michigan football team and the Detroit Lions all wore patches remembering the victims of the shooting.
00:32:06.000 I have no problems with that.
00:32:07.000 What I am kind of confused about is why there wasn't any sports ceremonies or patches that I'm aware of for the victims that died from the Waukesha Christmas parade terrorist attack of a black supremacist that ran over six people and killed some kids.
00:32:23.000 So if that is the new standard, which I'm fine with, by the way, I'm fine with sports teams commemorating the victims of mass terror events, shootings, running over people your car.
00:32:38.000 I morally have no question of that.
00:32:40.000 But it's so blatantly and nakedly political when you do it for a school shooting that very well might help confirm gun control and that agenda, but you're silent on Waukesha.
00:32:52.000 Okay?
00:32:53.000 Let me just start.
00:32:53.000 I just, I found that to be troubling.
00:32:56.000 So there was a shooting at Oxford High School shooting.
00:32:59.000 I'm not going to mention the shooter's name.
00:33:03.000 The individual who did this very well might have been demonically possessed.
00:33:11.000 If you listen to what he actually was doing, he kept on saying, I have these voices in my head.
00:33:18.000 I cannot get them out of my head.
00:33:19.000 I can't control myself. 0.97
00:33:21.000 Now, I'm going to get torbed.
00:33:22.000 I'm going to just get railed by the media for that.
00:33:25.000 I'll double and triple down on that.
00:33:26.000 He might have had a spiritual possession of a dark nature, and obviously we'll never know that.
00:33:33.000 Okay?
00:33:35.000 So this individual, I'm not going to say his name, the gunman, was disturbed, was obviously mentally compromised.
00:33:49.000 Is that an okay thing?
00:33:50.000 Is that the right way to say it? 0.87
00:33:52.000 Yeah, he killed people.
00:33:54.000 Who cares?
00:33:54.000 I guess that's the right thing, right?
00:33:57.000 And so his parents brought him to buy a firearm the day after Thanksgiving.
00:34:03.000 Am I getting this correct?
00:34:05.000 On Black Friday. 0.96
00:34:06.000 So they buy the gun, and this kid's a lunatic, and they buy a gun for him.
00:34:13.000 Okay, so if I'm understanding the story correctly, he goes to school, and he's first, the day before, a teacher finds him looking at ammunition on a school computer.
00:34:29.000 They report that to the school, gets back to the parents, and the mom says, Ethan, next time, don't get caught.
00:34:35.000 I guess I said his name.
00:34:37.000 Okay, whatever.
00:34:38.000 Comes back the next day.
00:34:40.000 He's writing on a piece of paper saying that the voices won't stop and basically draw pictures of killing people.
00:34:48.000 Am I getting this right, Connor?
00:34:49.000 This is roughly correct.
00:34:51.000 So then this is what's, and I need to get this triple verified, but I find this so hard to believe that they then have a meeting with Ethan and his parents and the school counselors and they send him back to class without checking his backpack,
00:35:14.000 without going through his backpack, his parents or the school for the firearm that he then uses to go kill four people.
00:35:26.000 His parents have now been charged for involuntary manslaughter for purchasing the weapon and not intervening.
00:35:34.000 But the question is, why isn't the school also being charged and also being investigated for this?
00:35:41.000 If they knew about this, it's too soon to really kind of make a major takeaway.
00:35:45.000 This is going to be a big national story because the parents have been indicted, and that's a very, very rare thing.
00:35:51.000 They probably should be.
00:35:54.000 I've heard mixed legal opinions.
00:35:55.000 Some people are really upset about this: of the parents being tried for the sins of the kid, that it's kind of looping it in.
00:36:01.000 I see it both ways.
00:36:02.000 I'll be very honest with you.
