00:00:54.000 The facts are coming.

00:00:55.000 Here we go.

00:00:57.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:59.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:01.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:04.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:07.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:08.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:09.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:18.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:27.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:30.000 What is going on in Louisville, Kentucky?

00:01:33.000 The decision in the Breonna Taylor case is in.

00:01:36.000 The grand jury in Louisville has spoken and they have charged one officer, Brett Hankinson, with wanton endangerment for blindly shooting 10 rounds from outside of Breonna Taylor's apartment.

00:01:49.000 So I prefer not to spend our entire program on these very isolated incidents of police officers having to defend themselves and individuals dying in crossfire.

00:02:02.000 However, because of the activist media's pathological obsession with trying to push a narrative that does not exist, that is not based in factual or empirical reality, we're going to have to debunk all of the narratives and the attempted activism now around the case of Breonna Taylor.

00:02:23.000 And so we're going to get into the police officers and also Breonna Taylor and just some of the complete and total lies surrounding this case.

00:02:31.000 But let's lead with Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who said this, quote, according to Kentucky law, the use of force by officers Jonathan, Mattingly, and Miles Cosgrove was justified to protect themselves, he said.

00:02:45.000 Quote, this justification bars us from pursuing criminal charges and miss Breonna Taylor's death.

00:02:52.000 So what does he mean by self-defense?

00:02:54.000 Let's go through seven key facts of the Breonna Taylor case.

00:02:58.000 And all of this is from the Louisville Police Incident Report.

00:03:02.000 I just want to say I have no partiality in this at all whatsoever.

00:03:07.000 If the police officers acted incorrectly, I would be the first one to say that they should be tried for murder or tried for manslaughter.

00:03:17.000 I'm just a facts guy.

00:03:18.000 I look at empirical data.

00:03:20.000 I look at what actually happened and then I make a judgment.

00:03:22.000 I am not a person that is trying to push forth a narrative that all police are awful.

00:03:27.000 Facts are not white.

00:03:28.000 Facts are not black.

00:03:29.000 Facts are not Republican.

00:03:30.000 Facts are not Democrat.

00:03:31.000 Facts are what happened.

00:03:32.000 Now, the left thinks that facts are racist, and that is one of the ideas of critical race theory.

00:03:37.000 That's why they reject science and they reject math.

00:03:40.000 In fact, listen to our sister episode with Isabel Brown, our campus correspondent at Turning Point USA, and you'll hear about how math is being taught as racist at universities all across the country.

00:03:52.000 So here are seven facts about the report.

00:03:54.000 Now, mind you, I just recently started to research this.

00:03:58.000 I actually think there's a lot more important stories in the country than the unfortunate death of Breonna Taylor.

00:04:03.000 I think that there's infinitely more important stories in our country, such as how one in four young people have contemplated suicide in the last 90 days.

00:04:11.000 I think that's probably a more important story than someone who had a drug-trafficking lover who got caught up in a raid in Louisville because her boyfriend decided to try to shoot police officers.

00:04:22.000 And we're going to talk about all of that.

00:04:24.000 However, when we start to see arsonist, activist, and terroristic activity in Louisville, Kentucky, it warrants a factual response so all of you can know exactly what happened with the case of Breonna Taylor.

00:04:37.000 Fact number one, Breonna Taylor was knee-deep in criminal activity with her ex-boyfriend, Jamarcus Glover, who sold drugs out of his home in Louisville.

00:04:47.000 Despite being her ex-boyfriend, she was very much still involved in drug trafficking.

00:04:54.000 Fact number two, Glover, Jamarcus Glover, her ex-boyfriend, was using her apartment as his home address and has been receiving packages at Taylor's apartment.

00:05:05.000 Now, what were in those packages, we don't know.

00:05:08.000 We do know that her car was seen multiple times at Glover's trap house and she was a person of interest in the narcotics investigation surrounding Glover and again, her ex-boyfriend.

00:05:20.000 Fact number three: police had a no-knock warrant for Jamarcus Glover's trap house, where they successfully executed the warrant and arrested Glover, as well as several others.

00:05:31.000 This is proof that warrants can be done without people dying.

00:05:34.000 You comply with police officers.

00:05:36.000 You don't shoot at police officers.

00:05:38.000 Police also obtained a no-knock warrant.

00:05:40.000 And let me just pause right here.

00:05:42.000 A warrant is not a small thing.

00:05:45.000 You have to go to a judge.

00:05:46.000 You have to present evidence.

00:05:47.000 It has to be signed off on.

00:05:49.000 Warrants are not issued by police officers.

00:05:52.000 So this entire scenario here was not just that someone got pulled over by the side of the street and the police officer decided to try to publicly execute them.

00:06:01.000 It's a lot more nuanced than intricate.

00:06:04.000 You had to have a judge that poured over the evidence and said, yes, based on the evidence provided, I am authorizing and signing off on you police officers being able to use force to go arrest her.

00:06:17.000 Now, not to mean that you have to go kill somebody, of course not, but you can go knock down a door and find them.

00:06:23.000 So they had a no-knock warrant for Breonna Taylor with her name and address on it, but they were instructed to knock and announce themselves upon arrival.

00:06:32.000 Now, this is one of the biggest lies and misrepresentations and falsehoods surrounding the case.

00:06:39.000 The activist media is painting it as a random raid on the wrong apartment where cops burst into the house and shot Taylor in the head while she was sleeping.

00:06:49.000 Headlines like this carried the news cycle: quote, Breonna Taylor was murdered for sleeping while black from the nation.

00:06:55.000 Wow.

00:06:56.000 Or, quote, sleeping while black, Louisville police kill unarmed black woman from National Public Radio.

00:07:02.000 Or Sleeping While Black, family seeks justice for Breonna Taylor, killed in her bedroom by police.

00:07:08.000 None of this is true.

00:07:09.000 It's just a lie.

00:07:11.000 I wish it was more nuanced.

00:07:14.000 I wish there was a better way to say that it was somewhat true.

00:07:17.000 It's pathologically untrue.

00:07:19.000 The activist media spoon-fed the entire nation trying to elicit rightful outrage.

00:07:26.000 Police forcibly breaking into someone's apartment and shooting them multiple times in their sleep.

00:07:32.000 Yeah, that would be something I would be upset about.

00:07:34.000 Again, I have no reason to defend police officers that commit manslaughter.

00:07:41.000 So I just searched the facts.

00:07:42.000 I said, is this something I should be upset about?

00:07:46.000 Is this something I should disapprove of?

00:07:48.000 And mind you, as I did this research and our amazing team here on the Charlie Kirk show started to do research, we started to realize how much we've been lied to.

00:07:56.000 And by the way, this is why our show has only mentioned the Breonna Taylor case once.

00:08:00.000 We mentioned it a couple months ago, and we just kind of remained quiet on it.

00:08:03.000 We said, let's wait for the grand jury and for facts to surface.

00:08:06.000 And now that the facts are out, we're taking a very firm, factual stance on.

00:08:14.000 I want to tell you guys about Good Ranchers.

00:09:39.000 Fact number five.

00:09:41.000 So when no one answered the door after the police said, police open up, police open up, they knocked, not unannounced, but they announced themselves.

00:09:52.000 And now Brianna's current boyfriend at the time, criminal Kenneth Walker, fired one shot at the police officers, shooting Jonathan Mattingly in the leg.

00:10:03.000 Now, some people don't like me calling him a criminal.

00:10:05.000 If you shoot at a police officer after they announce themselves, you're a criminal. 1.00

00:10:10.000 You're a thug. 0.99

00:10:11.000 It's that simple. 1.00

00:10:12.000 If you shoot at a police officer, you should go to jail.

00:10:16.000 You comply with the police.

00:10:17.000 If you think you're being arrested illegally, then defend yourself in court.

00:10:25.000 He denies that they announced themselves.

00:10:28.000 The police said they did.

00:10:29.000 And there are witness accounts that say they did hear a knock.

00:10:33.000 Fact number six: police officer Mattingly and two other officers returned fire to Kenneth Walker, her current boyfriend, who started to shoot at them.

00:10:46.000 Because after they said, police open up, the first thing that Kenneth Walker thought of is, let me try to shoot police officers.

00:10:55.000 That's the type of person that Breonna Taylor was dating while she was also still doing business with her ex-boyfriend, the drug trafficker.

00:11:02.000 And unfortunately and tragically, Breonna Taylor, who was standing in the hallway of her apartment, again, not in her bed, was shot in the crossfire.

00:11:11.000 I'm not celebrating her death.

00:11:13.000 I'm not defending the fact she died.

00:11:16.000 I'm not saying that this is a desirable outcome.

00:11:20.000 You can call it a tragedy if you want, and plenty of people are.

00:11:23.000 I think that's fine.

00:11:24.000 But it's not a crime.

00:11:26.000 What the officers did was not a crime.

00:11:28.000 Her boyfriend decided to open fire on the police.

00:11:32.000 She got caught in the crossfire.

00:11:34.000 Now, one of the police officers did get indicted.

00:11:37.000 He did not get indicted for killing Breonna Taylor.

00:11:41.000 It may be a correct indictment.

00:11:42.000 It felt kind of like a ceremonious reach indictment so they could say at least somebody was indicted for something here because of the pressure.

00:11:52.000 And so Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron again said, quote, Mattingly and Cosgrove were justified in their return of deadly fire after having been fired upon by Kenneth Walker.

00:12:03.000 Let me state that again.

00:12:04.000 According to Kentucky law, use of force by Mattingly and Cosgrove was justified to protect themselves.

00:12:11.000 Now, this should not be controversial.

00:12:13.000 Police have a right to defend themselves after someone starts shooting at them.

00:12:18.000 The seventh fact.

00:12:20.000 The third police officer, Brett Hankinson, he's the one that was charged of wanton endangerment in the first degree for firing shots from outside of the apartment, which subsequently entered neighboring units.

00:12:32.000 Again, the officers fired shots after they were fired upon by Kenneth Walker.

00:12:37.000 The shots he fired weren't even aimed at Breonna Taylor or her boyfriend.

00:12:41.000 This is probably a correct indictment.

00:12:43.000 It probably is.

00:12:44.000 Do I think it's a little bit of a reach?

00:12:47.000 Yes.

00:12:48.000 If he wantonly endangered and recklessly endangered somebody, then indict him.

00:12:53.000 I don't think police officers should be above the law.

00:12:55.000 I don't.

00:12:56.000 Do I think he should serve the rest of his life in prison?

00:12:58.000 No, will he?

00:12:59.000 Probably not.

00:13:00.000 However, indict him for that, but don't make him a martyr for something he didn't do.

00:13:05.000 From what I understand from the facts of the situation, his discharge of his weapon hurt or killed nobody.

00:13:11.000 He probably shouldn't have done it. 0.93

00:13:13.000 It was probably foolish, and he'll probably serve a couple months in prison or a couple years in prison. 0.97

00:13:17.000 He was outside the apartment when he did. 0.98

00:13:19.000 He probably got excited and made a mistake.

00:13:22.000 And he should be held accountable for that.

00:13:24.000 Okay, and that's what the justice system does.

00:13:30.000 Look, we've got a very different kind of sponsor for this episode, the Jordan Harbinger Show, which is a podcast you really should be listening to.

00:13:37.000 And I know that every day, somebody tells you that you have to listen to some podcast.

00:13:41.000 You nod and say, sure, and then you never listen to it.

00:13:44.000 Don't let that happen here.

00:13:45.000 Jordan's show, which Apple named one of the best of 2018, is aimed at making you a better informed, more critical thinker so you can get a sense of how the world actually works and come to your own conclusions about what's happening, even inside your own brain.

00:13:58.000 Each episode is a conversation with a different, fascinating guest.

00:14:00.000 And I've interviewed Jordan before.

00:14:02.000 He's a great guy.

00:14:03.000 He's terrific, lots of energy, very smart.

00:14:05.000 In one episode, Jordan talked to a hostage negotiator for the FBI who offers techniques on how to get people to like and trust you, which sounds useful and kind of disturbing at the same time.

00:14:14.000 So right now, you go to Jordan Harbinger Show, and you guys can listen to the FBI negotiator or the one about the story of a cinematographer who discovered a lost city in the jungle, or how about one of the most important archaeological finds of the century.

00:14:27.000 It's just interesting stuff.

00:14:29.000 So right now, you guys go to search the Jordan Harbinger Show.

00:14:32.000 That's H-A-R-B, as in boy, I-N, as in Nancy, G-E-R, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

00:14:42.000 Jordan is a friend.

00:14:43.000 It's worth checking out.

00:14:44.000 Do it right now, Jordan Harbinger Show.

00:14:50.000 These are the facts.

00:14:52.000 Despite knowing these facts, the left is still peddling the false narrative that she was, quote, cold-blood murdered in her sleep.

00:14:59.000 Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown from Ohio tweeted today, quote, Breonna Taylor was killed in her sleep by police.

00:15:04.000 This is not even close to justice.

00:15:06.000 This is an ugly reminder that our justice system does not hold police officers accountable for their actions.

00:15:10.000 Sherrod Brown basically wants Donald Trump to win Ohio by 12 points.

00:15:15.000 That's basically Sherrod Brown's new position.

00:15:17.000 Now that Sherrod Brown has won reelection in Ohio, he won his midterm election in 18, Sherrod Brown's new position is that he wants Donald Trump to run up the score in Ohio.

00:15:27.000 Because, by the way, Louisville's right on the Kentucky-Ohio border.

00:15:30.000 It's right there.

00:15:31.000 That's why Sherrod Brown feels the need to comment on this.

00:15:34.000 So here's the missing piece of all this.

00:15:37.000 And it's just people's failure to understand how the justice system works.

00:15:42.000 Do you know what a grand jury is?

00:15:45.000 A grand jury is no different than a jury in a court of law, but a grand jury is a group of your peers that makes a decision as to whether or not someone should be indicted, whether or not someone should be charged with a crime.

00:16:00.000 Grand juries are more than 12 people.

00:16:03.000 Usually they're 15 or 20 or 25 people.

00:16:06.000 And they're all from the local area.

00:16:08.000 Now, a grand jury does not need to be unanimous.

00:16:10.000 That is the one thing that makes a grand jury different than an impaneled jury in a regular court proceeding.

00:16:17.000 However, a grand jury, they watch the news, they have the same public pressure that a regular jury does.

00:16:23.000 And by the way, this jury, this grand jury, was probably made up of Democrats, Republicans, black people, and white people, urban people, and rural people.

00:16:36.000 Essentially, they decide whether or not an indictment should proceed.

00:16:41.000 Now, grand juries have been growing in popularity over the last 10 years, especially with these police killings.

00:16:49.000 Because prosecutors sometimes realize they do not have the evidence to move forward to charge these police officers.

00:16:57.000 So the prosecutors or the government realize what is one way that we can justify bringing charges or not bringing charges.

00:17:08.000 Let's impanel a grand jury, a jury of your peers.

00:17:11.000 So this grand jury has met for some time.

00:17:14.000 And in some ways, you could say they passed the buck, but I think it only makes their case actually stronger.

00:17:19.000 I think that the prosecutors looked at this case on its merit and they said, we're not going to be able to proceed and indict these officers.

00:17:27.000 We can't.

00:17:28.000 They said, so let's impanel a grand jury.

00:17:32.000 And so for people that are mad at the justice system here, it's your peers.

00:17:37.000 And by the way, it's your neighbors.

00:17:40.000 I guarantee you there are people that are sympathetic to BLM Inc. that were on that grand jury without a doubt.

00:17:47.000 And so do the grand jury know something that we don't?

00:17:50.000 Of course not.

00:17:51.000 So the way it works is that the prosecutor actually tries to persuade the grand jury.

00:17:56.000 The prosecutor is actually going to the grand jury asking for permission to proceed.

00:18:01.000 That's the way the grand jury works.

00:18:03.000 So the prosecutor will not impanel a grand jury to ask for an opinion.

00:18:07.000 The prosecutor will go to the grand jury and they will weigh the facts of the case and they'll also weigh the potential counter arguments that the defense will have.

00:18:15.000 So the one thing that makes a grand jury different than jury when someone is actually being indicted is already indicted for a crime is there's no defense present.

00:18:23.000 It's just a grand jury and the prosecution in a room.

00:18:27.000 The prosecution does though have to make somewhat of a devil's advocate argument to say, here's what the defense will end up saying so that there's some qualification or else it can come across as very biased, right?

00:18:38.000 And so in this case, the grand jury, which is just regular people, not people necessarily that went to law school, heard the facts of the case, and they probably asked very good questions and they said, well, who shot first?

00:18:50.000 What does the law say about self-defense?

00:18:54.000 What does Kentucky law say about police officers being able to defend themselves?

00:18:59.000 And the prosecution likely said, well, look, Breonna Taylor is dead.

00:19:05.000 We could charge this police officer with manslaughter.

00:19:09.000 However, Mr. Walker, Kenneth Walker, started firing at the police first, and the police officers defended themselves.

00:19:17.000 And someone probably on the grand jury said, well, it's not right that Breonna Taylor died.

00:19:23.000 And the prosecutor said, you're right.

00:19:25.000 That's why we're talking about this with you.

00:19:26.000 But here's what the defense is going to say.

00:19:28.000 According to Kentucky law, we cannot proceed.

00:19:31.000 And the prosecution said, this is why we're bringing it to you.

00:19:33.000 And we are not convinced that there's the evidence that merits it.

00:19:36.000 And the grand jury probably agreed.

00:19:38.000 This other police officer, Brett Hankinson, who fired his weapon, and they said, okay, we could probably proceed there.

00:19:43.000 They went above and beyond to go through the grand jury process.

00:19:47.000 So, again, if you're mad and you're angry about this, how many more different variations and levels of checks and balances do you require to not get angry about this thing?

00:19:58.000 If you really think the system is that rigged from top to bottom, you should go find another country to live in.

00:20:05.000 If you really think it's that rotten to the core, and you're not thinking rationally, by the way.

00:20:10.000 Again, if Breonna Taylor was sitting in her rocking chair peacefully after she went to sleep after drinking a cold glass of milk and a police officer opened up the door and came in and put a pistol on her forehead and said, I want you to die and discharged his weapon, that would not be defended by anybody.

00:20:30.000 But instead, she was in the middle of a drug trafficking ring with an award out for her arrest, not, by the way, should be a death sentence.

00:20:38.000 And her criminal boyfriend starts shooting at the police after they say, open up, police.

00:20:44.000 And by the way, if you have ever overheard a police raid, watched videos of a police raid, or spoken to law enforcement like I have about this case, they are so unbelievably loud and repetitive when they do these raids.

00:21:02.000 You know the police are walking through your front door.

00:21:05.000 And also, her ex-boyfriend, her co-conspirator in trafficking drugs, by the way, it's not an excuse for her to get the death penalty.

00:21:12.000 I'm not saying that she should have been killed because she trafficked drugs, but it's important to realize this was not the local librarian, okay?

00:21:20.000 She was hanging around very bad people.

00:21:23.000 He was arrested peacefully in the same night.

00:21:25.000 No problems.

00:21:26.000 Because he complied.

00:21:26.000 Why?

00:21:28.000 And black thought leaders are posting things like this on Twitter, such as, quote, after this legal lynching of Breonna Taylor, and other people saying, why would we black people vote in the voting process to this point?

00:21:40.000 Who are black people going to vote for to stop legal lynchings like this? 0.96

00:21:43.000 The mayor of Louisville is black. 0.99

00:21:45.000 The attorney general is black. 0.99

00:21:46.000 So why vote? 0.99

00:21:47.000 That's from Tariq Nasheed, who's a race-baiting civil arsonist who wants nothing more than disintegration of America.

00:21:54.000 I've been following his tweets for years.

00:21:55.000 It's hard to even keep up with his incredibly destructive take on America.

00:22:01.000 They're basically becoming completely disillusioned because for them, they want police officers to suffer.

00:22:09.000 Look, whether you're working from home or on your fitness, you want to know what you're listening to, not what your roommates or your children are listening to.

00:22:16.000 Everyone needs a great pair of wireless earbuds.

00:22:18.000 But before you drop hundreds of dollars on a pair, check out wireless earbuds from Raycon.

00:22:22.000 You already know that Raycon earbuds start about half the price of other wireless earbuds on the market, and they sound just as amazing as other top audio brands that you know.

00:22:30.000 Their newest model, the Everyday E25 earbud, are the best ones yet with six hours of playtime, seamless Bluetooth pairing, more bass, and a more compact design that gives you a nice noise-isolating fit.

00:23:09.000 So, in the days leading up to the announcement of the verdict, mayor of Louisville, Greg Fisher, declared a state of emergency where the city, quote, due to the potential for civil unrest.

00:23:18.000 And this resulted in the city being locked down and officers, their days off canceled.

00:23:22.000 I actually got this message from a police officer in Louisville anonymously.

00:23:26.000 Charlie, I'm a police officer in Louisville, anonymously, of course, but I've been down here in the city waiting since 5 a.m.

00:23:31.000 If we have to prepare like this for an announcement, the city is wrong.

00:23:34.000 The city let it get like this.

00:23:35.000 The mayor approved a $12 million settlement to the family of Breonna Taylor without the council's approval, largest settlement in Louisville history.

00:23:42.000 The city has been wrong about this whole situation from the very start.

00:23:45.000 They let the media lie.

00:23:47.000 They let the family lie.

00:23:48.000 They let the attorneys lie about all of it.

00:23:51.000 Police officers here in Louisville are leaving daily.

00:23:54.000 We are so short on manpower that they've canceled all off days.

00:23:57.000 For the time being, for all officers, I'm not sure when my next day off will be.

00:24:01.000 If they do not handle this correctly, these next couple days, there will be many more officers leaving this department, putting the city in even more jeopardy.

00:24:09.000 Louisville hit a very sober milestone Saturday night as the city plowed past its 117th homicide of 2020, making it the deadliest year in city's history.

00:24:19.000 And black residents, of course, have been hit the hardest, according to Louisville police data, accounting for 71% of identified victims.

00:24:28.000 The Ferguson effect is happening.

00:24:30.000 Exactly what I predicted back in May, as soon as George Floyd's death happened.

00:24:34.000 I was hosting a local radio show in Los Angeles as the George Floyd news came through.

00:24:40.000 And I said back then, what I'll say now: thousands of innocent black people are going to die because white liberals say they don't like the police. 0.62

00:24:48.000 It's that simple.

00:24:50.000 And the settlement he was talking about, a $12 million settlement to her family.

00:24:54.000 And now, mind you, I don't want to necessarily disparage Breonna Taylor's family here.

00:24:58.000 But the headlines I read to you earlier about Sleeping Wild Black, those came from her family and the radical attorney they hired to represent this case.

00:25:07.000 By the way, this guy is like Better Call Saul from Breaking Bad.

00:25:11.000 Anytime there is a police shooting, this guy who is nothing more than a race baiter, Benjamin Crump, shows up.

00:25:20.000 I just keep on seeing him on TV.

00:25:22.000 I say, my goodness, this guy is making more money than anyone else on dividing America racially.

00:25:28.000 He represents the family of George Floyd, Jacob Blake, and Ahmad Arbery.

00:25:32.000 And now he represents the family of Breonna Taylor.

00:25:36.000 Again, he's a complete rabble-rouser.

00:25:37.000 He travels around the country, stirring up racially motivated narratives that don't coincide with any form of subjective truth.

00:25:43.000 He's a little bit more talented than Al Sharpton and definitely skinnier than Al Sharpton used to be.

00:25:49.000 And like I said, only one police officer, the one that has already been fired, was charged.

00:25:55.000 And he wasn't charged for anything related to Taylor's death, nor should he be.

00:25:59.000 But I think it's fine that you indict him.

00:26:00.000 I don't think it's right for police officers to randomly shoot through a wall.

00:26:04.000 That's a mistake.

00:26:05.000 Shouldn't have happened.

00:26:07.000 He got excited, probably.

00:26:08.000 He got scared.

00:26:09.000 He started to discharge his weapon.

00:26:10.000 He should be held accountable for that.

00:26:12.000 So when the decision was announced, the marches for justice just started.

00:26:17.000 So I want to play this video, and I'll describe it for those of you who are listening.

00:26:22.000 And just moments after the verdict was read, there was a parked U-Haul truck waiting, ready with the signs that said, abolish police and abolition now.

00:26:32.000 play tape

00:26:45.000 and as an aside this is not an exaggeration These are Joe Biden voters.

00:27:08.000 One of the ones on the front lines carrying these signs was wearing a Kamala Harris shirt.

00:27:14.000 So for those of you that can't see the video, you guys can go to my Twitter feed.

00:27:16.000 I posted the video there.

00:27:17.000 We're also going to post the video on CharlieKirk.com.

00:27:21.000 And more updates are coming very soon.

00:27:23.000 Very exciting updates for CharlieKirk.com.

00:27:25.000 So stay peeled for those.

00:27:26.000 But if you guys can't see this video, imagine right now a U-Haul truck parked on the side of a street, people flooding the U-Haul truck and taking out riot gear and supplies to go up against the police.

00:27:37.000 Who's funding this?

00:27:38.000 Who's organizing this?

00:27:41.000 I want you to imagine something.

00:27:43.000 Imagine after the Trump supporter that was murdered in Portland a couple weeks ago.

00:27:49.000 That as soon as that happened, Trump supporters pulled up with a U-Haul truck wearing MAGA hats, taking out bricks, riot gear, and shields to march in the streets.

00:28:00.000 Do you think the New York Times and the Washington Post and the activist media would care about that?

00:28:05.000 Where did the truck full of all the supplies come from?

00:28:08.000 And mind you, all this is happening, especially on Twitter, as burn it down, let Louisville burn, and America with a KKK is trending.

00:28:20.000 And just breaking right now, a cop was just shot in Louisville at the recording of this podcast.

00:28:26.000 All of this is predictable.

00:28:28.000 This is what will happen if Joe Biden wins, everywhere.

00:28:32.000 These people are nihilists.

00:28:34.000 Their life really lacks meaning.

00:28:37.000 Camus famously said, I rebel, therefore I exist.

00:28:42.000 It's in their entire ideology of existential nihilism.

00:28:45.000 And we'll dive into that more.

00:28:46.000 It's philosophically very complex, and I don't want to make this episode too much about that.

00:28:53.000 But Rene Descartes, who is the beginning of the Enlightenment, said, I think, therefore I am.

00:28:59.000 That's enlightenment values that all of us listening to this podcast believe in, that your identity is in your capacity to think, versus nihilistic arson.

00:29:09.000 I rebel, therefore I exist.

00:29:12.000 Look at all things through an empiricist lens.

00:29:16.000 Demand facts.

00:29:18.000 Demand data.

00:29:19.000 That's what we've done here.

00:29:21.000 We've been very fair in our observation here saying that that other police officer should be tried.

00:29:27.000 Do not dive into dogmatic thinking about these things.

00:29:31.000 When a police officer acts incorrectly, they should be tried.

00:29:35.000 When a police officer acts correctly, they should be defended.

00:29:40.000 The police officers in this situation did nothing wrong.

00:29:46.000 And anyone that tries to burn down or threatens to burn down Louisville should be quickly arrested and put into prison for at least a decade.

00:29:54.000 No exceptions.

00:29:56.000 The terrorism in our streets must stop quickly and completely.

00:30:01.000 Know the facts, free your mind.

00:30:04.000 You actually might be a happier person if you do so.

00:30:07.000 And when you dive into the facts of this case, you'll realize how much the activist media has been misleading you and try to rile you up about something that is completely and totally untrue.
