00:00:35.000We talk about Hamas and we talk about the shills over at the AP claiming that they did not know Hamas was shooting rockets from their building and had a weapons manufacturing site in the building where the AP and Al Jazeera are located in Hamas.
00:01:19.000It gives us the confidence to say what we need to say and to say it boldly and proudly and loudly without fear of, you know, boycotts and media matters and all those crazies.
00:01:30.000So go to charliekirk.com slash support to support the team here.
00:01:58.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:29.000We've got a lot of problems going here over here.
00:02:31.000Joe Biden's trying to take over the country.
00:02:33.000The far leftists are working him over, pushing him into a corner.
00:02:37.000I want to talk about that, and we will in this show, but I was so offended over the weekend with the approach that the news media is taking with Israel that I just had to talk about it today.
00:02:49.000I kept getting these push notifications coming on my phone as I was trying to enjoy my family and going on walks and got NBC and CNN sending me push notifications.
00:02:57.000Yes, I do get the push notifications from them, so you don't have to.
00:03:44.000They blame Israel for defending itself.
00:03:47.000Now, I spoke about it with Dr. Gorka, and we had this a little bit of a back and forth.
00:03:52.000I wouldn't say it was a full disagreement.
00:03:54.000Was a moment of trying to lay out our own perspective on things.
00:04:00.000And I simply was saying that there is a little bit of pushback, especially when it comes to younger conservatives wondering why we support Israel, why we should be supporting Israel.
00:04:13.000And I gave a little bit of a hat tip to Joe Biden and saying at least he has not succumbed to the far left wing, mostly young people, by the way, that hate Israel, that call Israel an apartheid state.
00:04:25.000And Joe Biden has essentially, listen, there's a lot to blame here.
00:04:29.000Joe Biden has inflamed the entire situation in the Middle East.
00:04:32.000He's failed to stand strongly behind Israel, which adds stability in the region.
00:04:37.000Okay, so his failure to do so is what has led to a lot of this, in my opinion.
00:04:42.000And I think a lot of policy experts agree.
00:04:45.000But what I will say is that at least he's saying that Israel has a right to defend itself, which is more than what the far left of his party is willing to say at all.
00:04:55.000They think that Israel should be wiped off the map.
00:05:23.000She says the most disgusting things and totally gets away with it.
00:05:29.000But at least the Biden administration is saying that Israel has the right to defend itself.
00:05:35.000Now, the big story that has come out over the weekend is that Israel was their intelligence was indicating that there was attacks coming from a certain building in Gaza.
00:05:47.000Now, it turned out that that building was occupied by the Associated Press in Al Jazeera, as well as Hamas.
00:05:58.000So, Israel gave a warning to the Associated Press, gave a warning to everybody, get out of that building.
00:06:04.000Hamas is using it to fling rockets at Israel.
00:06:08.000So, you need to get out and you need to stay as far away from that because we're coming after it.
00:06:14.000Certainly, that was true because within a few, I think it was about 90 minutes heads up they gave, they started shooting at this building.
00:06:27.000And then the Associated Press had the gall afterwards to say that it had no idea that Hamas militants were in that same building.
00:06:37.000They had had this building for 15 years.
00:06:39.000Now, there's a story from the New York Post that says the Associated Press slammed for claim.
00:06:47.000It was unaware Hamas was in the building.
00:06:49.000What's really interesting is that, and so let me just read you, by the way, I think it's worth reading.
00:06:54.000It says, this is the AP president and CEO Gary Pruitt said in a statement, we have had no indication Hamas was in the building or active in the building.
00:07:02.000This is something we actively check to the best of our ability.
00:07:06.000We would never knowingly put our journalists at risk.
00:07:10.000He was shocked and horrified that the Israeli military would target and destroy the building housing AP Bureau and other news organizations in Gaza.
00:07:19.000According to the New York Post, in a 2014 article in the Atlantic, written by a journalist in the region, described the history between the news agency and Hamas.
00:07:28.000And critics, so critics took to social media calling them out, calling Pruitt's assertion out that he didn't know because this article in the Atlantic clearly outlined that they had a very close working relationship with Hamas.
00:07:41.000Now, part of this, I wouldn't blame them, right?
00:07:44.000I wouldn't blame the Associated Press for working with Hamas because it's a news story.
00:07:48.000It's covered internationally, gets a lot of clicks, lots of headlines.
00:07:52.000They should have inroads with Hamas to get that sort of information.
00:07:58.000But the interesting part is that an organization like this would obviously know that Hamas was in the building.
00:08:06.000As a matter of fact, it's probably, now I'm speculating here to some level, but it's probably true that they knew that Hamas was in this building because they'd been working and sourcing Hamas and they are not giving up their sources.
00:08:23.000And now once their building gets toppled, there's a lot of, and here's the other thing you have to understand.
00:08:29.000There's a lot of sympathy for Hamas within the international journalistic core.
00:08:37.000They look at the Palestinians the same way Corey Bush and Rashida Tlaib look at the Palestinians as the victims of the apartheid state in Israel.
00:08:48.000So I believe that the AP News story is the AP News Bureau here is lying.
00:08:56.000You've got Noah Pollock, a contributor to the Free Beacon.
00:08:58.000He said a tweet, spoke to a well-placed friend in the IDF just now.
00:09:02.000The bombed AP office building contained multiple Hamas operations and offices, including weapons manufacturing and military intelligence.
00:09:10.000The building also housed an Islamic jihad office.
00:09:20.000So what's the big takeaway from this story?
00:09:23.000Is that we have to see through the media headlines in the spin and the gaslighting.
00:09:30.000This is the AP getting called out on the international stage as a bunch of liars, as hacks.
00:09:35.000They knew that they were sharing a building with Hamas, but what's really getting revealed here is that they have been in bed with Hamas since the very beginning.
00:09:43.000So when you see headlines of a bunch of terrorists shooting at Israel and then Israel defending itself and somehow that being Israel's problem and their fault, just remember who's telling you this.
00:09:55.000Don't believe everything you read, folks.
00:09:58.000The AP was in on this and they knew it and they got caught out by an Israeli missile that took down their office building.
00:10:06.000Look, I want to tell you about Tommy John.
00:10:08.000One word that you have to remember about Tommy John.
00:11:19.000And we're talking about the fact that the hacks in our news media have been called out and they've been found out multiple times in multiple ways.
00:11:30.000And the latest is this situation in a building that was toppled.
00:11:38.000It was razed by an Israeli missile because it was housing Hamas militants.
00:11:53.000But back in 2014, former AP reporter Matt Friedman wrote in The Atlantic.
00:12:00.000So it was actually a former AP reporter.
00:12:03.000We're getting more information on this as we go.
00:12:05.000On the relationship between Hamas and reporters in Gaza.
00:12:09.000Friedman specifically notes how the AP dutifully reported Hamas's spin on the situation in Gaza to craft a narrative that Israel is an oppressive nation and Palestinians are innocent victims.
00:12:21.000During my time at the AP, he writes, we helped Hamas get this point across with a school of reporting that might be classified as surprising signs of moderation.
00:12:31.000A direct precursor to the Muslim Brotherhood is actually liberal school that enjoyed a brief vogue in Egypt.
00:12:36.000In one of my favorite stories, More Tolerant Hamas, December 11, 2011, reporters quoted a Hamas spokesman informing readers that the movement's policy was that, quote, we are not going to dictate anything to anyone.
00:12:50.000And another Hamas leader said the movement had, quote, learned it needs to be more tolerant of others.
00:12:56.000Around the same time, I was informed by the Bureau's senior editors that our Palestinian reporter in Gaza couldn't possibly provide critical coverage of Hamas because doing so would put him in danger.
00:13:08.000Okay, so AP gets their offices destroyed by an Israeli missile after being warned that they were going to do so, so they should evacuate, which they did.
00:13:18.000But then they were like, this is incredible.
00:13:22.000Meanwhile, Maddie Friedman, an AP reporter, is basically spilling the beans here saying, no, AP, you had this cozy relationship where you would spin stories for Hamas, which is a terrorist organization, by trying to present them to the world as less extreme than they are and more moderate.
00:15:11.000But then he said, the world today needs a Hitler.
00:15:14.000Now, why is this relevant and important?
00:15:16.000Well, of course, I mean, we've got this Israel standoff that's happening with Hamas in Gaza.
00:15:21.000You've got AP saying, oh, we weren't in bed with Hamas.
00:15:24.000We didn't know that they were taking over our, that they had weapons manufacturing going on in the building where we house our offices in Gaza.
00:15:33.000And then it turns out that a 2014 story calls him on it.
00:15:38.000And you've got CNN contributors basically saying that the Jewish people need to be exterminated.
00:16:01.000That's why I get my meat from goodranchers.com because their product is 100% American.
00:16:05.000When you buy your steak and chicken from Good Ranchers, not only are you getting amazing meat, but you're also supporting American farms.
00:16:11.000My friends at Good Ranchers have traveled the United States and met with actual farmers that raise the livestock to ensure the product they are sending to your table is the very best.
00:16:18.000All the product is individually wrapped and it eliminates waste.
00:16:21.000Goodranchers.com safely delivers American craft beef better than organic chicken right to your door.
00:16:26.000Buy one time or better yet, subscribe.
00:17:13.000We talked about Israel, and I'm going to change.
00:17:16.000I'm going to change gears here in just a second, but I just want to make one last point before we do.
00:17:21.000Bernie Sanders has this op-ed in the New York Times, which I just find genuinely infuriating.
00:17:27.000Bernie Sanders, the U.S. must stop being an apologist for the Netanyahu government.
00:17:32.000And what's sad about it is that other nations actually have given us this same dignity, if you will, where they would say, listen, what happens in America is their own domestic affairs.
00:17:47.000When we interact with a nation, that's how it should be.
00:17:51.000Our politics stop at the water's edge, right?
00:18:00.000He's calling balls and strikes and he's getting into the fray and basically saying that Netanyahu is a far-right, ethno-nationalist organization, and we can't stop apologizing for their actions.
00:19:00.000Do not be gaslit by these hacks, these people like the AP, by the way, that publishes a report and then it gets picked up internationally and all the news outlets.
00:19:25.000We hit this story pretty hard on Friday, but what I said was liberal heads are going to explode.
00:19:31.000And we traced the sort of lineage of this story of the CDC rolling back their guidelines on masks.
00:19:40.000They said, if you are vaccinated, then you are free to roam about the cabin without a mask.
00:19:48.000You're free to get back to some of the things that you were doing before.
00:19:50.000Now, I think if I'm just looking at this as a communications professional, I would tell you very clearly that they did fumble the ball here just communicating-wise.
00:20:05.000But the issue here is not whether the science defends masks or does not.
00:20:15.000The issue here is that we have been feeding a diet of COVID pandemic porn to the U.S. population for months.
00:20:26.000They have cave dweller syndrome where they're basically agoraphobic and they don't want to come outside.
00:20:31.000And then we're all surprised that when you actually tell them, hey, you can actually go back to normal if you get a vaccine, which let's get into that in just a second, which I think is a false choice.
00:20:44.000But this was very interesting because the night before, I believe Dr. Walensky, the director of the CDC, was on Cuomo saying, we're going to be updating the guidelines very soon.
00:20:53.000I'm so excited to tell you, but I can't quite tell you now.
00:20:56.000And then sure enough, she does it, and liberal heads explode.
00:21:01.000And all you have to do is do a quick, I mean, please don't do Google.
00:21:36.000And I want to play a little sound here.
00:21:39.000So what's happened now is because of all the pushback from the liberal legacy media, Dr. Walensky, the CDC director, has had to go out into the media landscape again to defend her position.
00:22:07.000My job as the CDC director, which I promised the American people when I took it, is that I would deliver the science to them and our recommendations to them as we had it.
00:22:17.000We had two studies that were published the week prior to last, a major study that was published in the MMWR on Friday that demonstrates that vaccinated people are safe.
00:22:28.000So she's trying to point to the science and say, hey, listen, we're following the science.
00:22:36.000But what's unfortunate is that we know that the CDC has been implicated now.
00:22:42.000We have Freedom of Information Acts that accessed certain emails between the teachers' unions and the CDC that basically condemned them.
00:22:53.000The teachers' union said, hey, well, why don't you put this language into your guidance for schools?
00:23:41.000It says Starbucks and Target won't require fully vaccinated customers to wear masks inside stores, except when required by law.
00:23:47.000Okay, so this is an interesting raises a bunch of questions.
00:23:52.000You've got states like Washington, Oregon, California that all still have their mask mandates: New York, D.C., Connecticut, Rhode Island, basically everywhere you'd expect.
00:24:03.000Illinois, and then you have these like throwaways like Ohio.
00:24:52.000I think that the play call was right, but they fumbled the ball at the one-yard line in terms of communicating this to the public in terms of engagement.
00:25:00.000So the left is very, very frightened that now all of these people who aren't vaccinated are going to be gallivanting around outside like normal people, like free Americans.
00:25:14.000They're going to be gallivanting around, coughing and sneezing and touching things and living their lives, and they're not going to actually be vaccinated.
00:25:29.000We know that I think it's about half of the country now, I think it's a little under half, has gotten at least one shot of the vaccine.
00:25:38.000Now, we have always maintained on this show that we are vaccine agnostic.
00:25:44.000If you want to get your vaccine, go ahead and get the vaccine.
00:25:47.000If you don't want to get the vaccine, don't get the vaccine.
00:25:50.000But what's underlying that principle is freedom.
00:25:53.000The freedom of an American citizen to make their own decisions about their own health.
00:26:00.000Now, what this rule guidance from the CDC does present is a conflict because the state is saying, the government is saying that you don't have to if you have this vaccine, but they haven't instituted a way to mandate it or verify the status.
00:26:23.000But what we know has happened is that Joe Biden secretly behind the scenes has been coordinating with certain businesses to make sure that there is a tracking system in place.
00:26:33.000Now, so where that's all going to land, we're not sure, but I think it's going to come down.
00:26:39.000And I think there's a lot of evidence to show that it's going to come down in the private space.
00:26:44.000So these companies like Target and Starbucks are saying that we're going to come out and we're going to start easing restrictions in the states where you can ease restriction.
00:27:14.000So it's very surprising about Home Depot.
00:27:16.000They should really get people need to send letters to Home Depot and get them to open up.
00:27:21.000So what's going to happen is we're going to see this battle being waged in airports, on airplanes, any place where public transit is the way people are getting around.
00:27:36.000This is where this battle is going to come to the fore.
00:27:39.000A little bit of resistance is not a bad thing.
00:27:43.000Good trouble, I think I've heard it's called.
00:27:46.000So folks, if you are out there in a municipality that requires masks, maybe just take it off and ask for forgiveness instead of permission because you are an American citizen.
00:27:59.000The state cannot tell you what to do with a mask diaper on your face.
00:28:04.000Charlie Kirk here, and I've warned you about home title theft, where cyber thieves remove you from your homes title and you become the owner.
00:28:11.000Like I said, you better get home title lock because it's coming.
00:28:15.000Well, if you are on Facebook, that big data breach is here.
00:28:19.000Facebook has 500 million accounts that were exposed to cyber thieves.
00:28:23.000And according to a retired FBI cyber crime expert, everything thieves need to take over as the new owner of your home was leaked.
00:28:29.000Name, address, personal information, and more, it's out there.
00:28:31.000The thief forges your signature on a quick claim deed stating you sold your home to him.
00:28:34.000He'll leave you in debt or even have you evicted.
00:28:37.000Do what I did and protect your homes title, hometitalock.com.
00:28:40.000Go to hometitalock.com and register your address, see if you're already a victim.
00:28:43.000Then sign up for 30 free days of protection during this high-risk breach.
00:28:46.000Again, go to home titlelock.com, promo code radio.
00:29:12.000It's the Supreme Court will hear a major new abortion case.
00:29:18.000This is causing a lot of waves because it's actually challenging Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that established a constitutional right to abortion, one that never existed before.
00:29:35.000They sort of made it up out of whole cloth.
00:29:37.000Nevertheless, they're saying that the court has a 6-3 majority, by the way.
00:29:44.000It's probably four and a half, four and a half with John Roberts, maybe five to four in certain instances.
00:29:52.000But they're saying six to three conservative majority.
00:29:55.000Now, the Mississippi law, which was blocked by the Fifth Circuit, actually said that we need to re-examine this viability question that was brought up that's been established by the courts.
00:30:10.000So it's Dobbs versus Jackson Women's Health Organization.
00:30:16.000And it asks whether all pre-viability restrictions on abortion are unconstitutional or not.
00:30:23.000So fetal viability is typically at this point understood at 22 weeks or later.
00:30:28.000Now, why that's even a bright line in the sand, I don't agree with it at all.
00:30:37.000But Mississippi is asking the justices to review the viability standard, arguing that the rule prevents states from defending maternal health and its interest in protecting life.
00:30:49.000This is a brief filed with the justices.
00:30:51.000It reads, it is well past time for the court to revisit the wisdom of the viability bright line rule.
00:30:57.000That's Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Finch.
00:31:03.000So if you do a quick scan on the liberal Twitter sphere, this is Elise Hoag breaking SCODIS to hear direct challenge to Roe v. Wade.
00:31:18.000Never forget that McConnell and others mocked us and gaslit us through the Kavanaugh fight for claiming that legal abortion was in jeopardy.
