00:00:00.000Hey everybody, it's in the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:01.000A bombshell report shows that police officers waited 40 minutes to an hour before going in to stop the gunmen.
00:00:09.000Now, this is an unfolding story in real time.
00:00:12.000And if it's true, then a lot of the commentary that we express on this program remains the same.
00:00:19.000But it shows that the timeline currently, that everything we were told previously about the police officers trying to stop him from entering is just not true.
00:00:27.000There was no school resource officer that tried to stop the gunman from going in.
00:00:31.000There were a couple cops, I think, that did go in to try to neutralize him initially, and they were shot at, but they were not killed.
00:00:39.000But then there is this inexplicable 40-minute to one-hour gap where parents were tased and were prevented from going in to try to save their children's lives where the gunmen just had a total field day.
00:02:02.000But I will say this: 40 minutes to an hour of inaction while children are getting slaughtered is totally, completely unacceptable and should not be tolerated.
00:02:10.000Well, police officers were tasing parents while their children were getting murdered.

00:03:12.000But I want to give an update from what has happened in Uvalde, Texas.
00:03:16.000Now, these reports, as they come out, they are usually inaccurate.
00:03:21.000The rule of kind of breaking news is that it's more likely to be wrong early than right early.
00:03:27.000But as time goes on, usually accuracy starts to improve.
00:03:33.000So there is a new report out that is shocking.
00:03:38.000And it starts to make sense as to how this evil individual was able to kill so many people and why a border tactical person had to intervene.
00:03:52.000Now, before going any further, I want to say police officers are heroes.
00:04:05.000We do not indict an entire profession.
00:04:07.000However, there is a theme that seems to happen whenever things start to get very chaotic and very consequential, whether it be Columbine or Parkland, there is a theme of the bystander syndrome.
00:04:22.000Now, you can learn a lot about somebody when shots start to get firing, when shots are firing, when the adrenaline starts to pump.
00:04:30.000Unfortunately, a vast majority of people stand and do nothing.
00:04:35.000It is the rare and the courageous person that springs into action and defends the innocent.
00:04:43.000A new report is so beyond shocking, it will take your breath away.
00:04:48.000Texas shooter barricaded himself for 40 minutes as police waited.
00:04:56.000The shooter who killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School, I'm reading from Breitbart.com in Uvalde, Texas on Tuesday, reportedly barricaded himself inside as police waited outside for 40 minutes.
00:05:09.000According to people present, terrified parents were yelling at police officers to charge the school for 40 minutes until a border patrol team finally took him down.
00:05:19.000So this is what never made sense to me, this entire story.
00:05:25.000As I said to our team, I said yesterday, why did a border patrol agent have to go on his off duty to go intervene and to go neutralize the situation and the shooter?
00:05:35.000Why did it take a border patrol agent?
00:05:37.000Where obviously this is not their jurisdiction.
00:05:39.000I mean, Uvalde is close to the border, but it's not on the border.
00:05:43.000And even so, Border Patrol is not usually called to go solve or intervene with mass shooting incidents.
00:06:33.000So it is conceivable that if the police officers and the cops would have done their job and would have had an ounce of courage and would have went into the school and tried to intervene, maybe 19 kids and two teachers would not be dead.
00:06:52.000Now, again, this happened at the Columbine shooting.
00:06:54.000This was one of the most controversial takeaways from the Columbine shooting in 1999, April 20th, 1999.
00:07:02.000Now, the police officers at the time were told, their excuse was, which was technically true, that police officers, according to Colorado state law, were not allowed in schools.
00:07:13.000There was a big push to try to keep police officers out of schools because it intimidated kids.
00:07:19.000And I'm not really sure the main reason for it.
00:07:25.000But one of the more horrific accounts of the Columbine tragedy and massacre is most of the killing happened in the library in Columbine.
00:07:34.000And police officers were just about 50 feet away and listened and watched as the two maniacs went aisle by aisle and killed person by person.
00:07:49.000Similarly, at the Parkland shooting in Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, you might remember those famous images of the sheriff or the police officer or the school resource officer standing outside and doing nothing.
00:08:00.000Now, the law usually goes on the side of the police officer here.
00:08:05.000I believe these police officers should be discharged and should be kind of taken off the force and go to jail.
00:08:16.000But usually the law goes on their side.
00:08:18.000And, you know, we've gotten some emails because I commented on this on social media.
00:08:22.000And people said, Charlie, no police officer has to take a bullet for another person.
00:08:34.000Whether you're a police officer or a plumber, if you have a weapon and you watch or hear somebody else getting killed or murdered, I believe you have a moral obligation to intervene and to do whatever you can.
00:08:48.000So these police officers were shocked into paralysis.
00:09:10.000The Texas police were stopping parents from rushing in to save their children from the shooter.
00:09:14.000The police were preventing other citizens from stopping the shooter.
00:09:18.000So the police, instead of actually doing their job, which was that I have a moral obligation to protect the weak, we always said the strong have a moral obligation to protect the weak.
00:09:27.000No, the police were preventing parents from going in.
00:10:04.000The police officers, according to these reports, were actually helping the shooter.
00:10:11.000The footage captured by Hugo Cervantes showed numerous parents confronting the heavily armed officers who set up a perimeter around Robb Elementary School.
00:10:19.000The video shared online captured the growing frustration of parents and family members who were seen yelling and screaming at the heavily armed officers who were doing nothing standing outside the building.
00:10:45.000So the police officers were more worried about parents going in to go do the right thing than saving the lives of children.
00:10:52.000One officer was so distracted keeping people at bay, he's seen holding a taser in the clip as parents called on the officers to charge into the school.
00:11:02.000I love police officers, but I hate cowards.
00:11:05.000And I hope every single one of these people that stood idly by while children were getting massacred go to jail for a very long time.
00:11:27.000Look, we may have been able to stop the Ministry of Truth, but we know they'll be back with something else.
00:11:32.000We are facing the biggest threat to your constitutional rights in our lifetime.
00:11:36.000Look, I am proud to support and partner with Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.
00:11:43.000The folks at Patriot Mobile make it easy for you to be able to stop funding these left-wing carriers who give all their money to groups like BLM and all these awful places and instead have a cell phone company in alignment with your values.
00:11:58.000Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget and their U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional customer service.
00:12:04.000Most importantly, Patriot Mobile shares your values, supports organizations fighting for religious liberty, constitutional rights, and the sanctity of life.
00:12:36.000But what happened in Uvalde, Texas is unbelievable.
00:12:41.000You should be familiar with the bystander effect or bystander apathy.
00:12:45.000It's a social psychological theory and phenomenon that basically shows that people are less likely to offer help to a victim when there are other people present.
00:12:54.000That when there's a crowd, they all just kind of have this group paralysis.
00:12:59.000It's an extraordinary psychological phenomenon where people just fail to help when there's an emergency.
00:13:06.000For 40 minutes, you know that a shooter has gone into an elementary school and you hear the fire, the gunfire, and you hear the screams.
00:13:14.000And what are the police officers focused on in Uvalde?
00:13:21.000They're focused on making sure the parents don't go in there.
00:13:24.000How did we get this messed up in our country?
00:13:26.000Let me tell you what happened at the University of Texas school shooting, otherwise known as, I believe, the Clock Tower shooting back in the 1960s or the tower shooting.
00:13:42.000And what happened is so many civilians came from the hills and they came from the surrounding area that when this nut case, a Marine veteran took rifles and weapons to the observation deck, it took a bunch of civilians who reached this guy and shot him dead.
00:14:04.000He injured 31 people and shot 14 people.
00:14:09.000And it would have been even more if it wasn't for the civilians intervening.
00:14:23.000The bystander effect is a very real thing.
00:14:25.000And make no mistake, the bystander effect can be a metaphor also for regular citizens sitting idly by when CRT and transgenderism is taught in our schools.
00:14:35.000It's easy to have an excuse to do nothing when you think all these other people are around.
00:14:40.000Now, if all these reports are correct, which seems to be true, then there's no excuse.
00:15:22.000I guarantee you the public opinion would be on your side.
00:15:25.000You're trying to tell me that you would get indicted by a local district attorney because you said, yes, yes, Your Honor, or yes, to the state of Texas or to the county.
00:15:37.000I did go into the school, and I did put my life on the line, and I did neutralize the shooter, and I was told not to, but I'm glad I did.
00:15:45.000Is this another example of kind of just the over-litigious nature of America where everyone is afraid to do something?
00:16:38.000The police thought the parents were the bigger threat.
00:16:41.000After all of these shootings that have happened over the last couple years, we still do not have a standard operating procedure to be able to intervene.
00:17:45.000We're gathering a coalition of 1 million patriots to say no to court packing, no to the liberal agenda, and no to the Supreme Court coup.
00:17:53.000Franklin Graham, former U.S. Attorney General Ed Meese, Dr. James Dobson, the Family Policy Alliance, so many others, and 400,000 people like you are all on board.
00:18:26.000Every single person, except one who doesn't necessarily disagree.
00:18:30.000They're just trying to add a different kind of wrinkle to the argument is agreeing that the police, I mean, there's one of these emails is just, hello, Charlie, this story is infuriating to me.
00:19:40.000I can't say which, but we've done active shooter drills.
00:19:42.000And our policy is to get inside and stop shooting as soon as possible.
00:19:46.000Not waiting for SWAT, no waiting for backup.
00:19:48.000Go in fast and engage the gunman to the best of your ability.
00:19:53.000The police officers created a perimeter.
00:19:57.000They unintentionally, I'm not saying they intentionally did it, but their cowardice did help the shooter.
00:20:04.000The shooter got more time to be able to kill more kids because of what the police did.
00:20:13.000With us right now is Representative Mark Green.
00:20:18.000I want to bring in a guest who's trying to save our kids through multiple pieces of legislation in Congress.
00:20:23.000Representative, welcome to the program.
00:20:25.000We're talking about the shooting in Texas, and we're pretty fired up and, quite honestly, shocked that the police officers stood there and did nothing for 40 minutes while this maniac, demonic gunman massacred these children.
00:20:41.000Well, obviously, shock and dismay, and it's a tragedy, very, very heart-rending.
00:20:48.000I'm a parent, but I'm also a combat veteran Iraq and Afghanistan, Iraq twice with a special operations task force.
00:20:57.000So, you know, those drills that the law enforcement guys work on, they need to execute those drills.
00:21:03.000I want to be careful to not bash them too much, but definitely we've got to dig in and find out exactly what happened.
00:21:10.000Because you'll remember in Florida and Parkland, there were some significant mistakes that were made by the law enforcement there.
00:21:17.000In fact, in one case in Florida, the law enforcement officer actually went the other way away from the gun, which is not what's supposed to happen.
00:21:24.000So we've got to dig in, look at every piece of this, and find out what happened.
00:21:28.000Yeah, well, according to reports, they, and maybe the reports could be inaccurate.
00:21:31.000We've said that, but based on parent testimony, they sat and did nothing for 40 minutes and actually were restraining parents with tasers while the gunman was able to do whatever the gunman wanted to do.
00:21:46.000Yeah, and if the reports are correct, I agree with you.
00:21:48.000We don't want to dive too much into it, but based on all the other circumstantial evidence, it seems to be correct.
00:21:52.000Tell us about your effort in Congress, which is to save our kids from fentanyl, one of the most horrific things happening in our country right now.
00:22:12.000There, we, you know, metal detectors where they're necessary, all those kinds of things.
00:22:16.000But another thing that's really threatening our children is fentanyl.
00:22:20.000And we've seen a massive increase with the failure to secure the southern border.
00:22:26.000And so what we're going to be doing in the coming weeks is just educating folks on the impacts of fentanyl.
00:22:31.000I'm also an emergency medicine physician, so I can talk about it from a clinical standpoint, what we see in the emergency department.
00:22:38.000And we're going to launch some efforts to just educate Americans on what's happening as a result of this failure to secure our southern border.
00:22:45.000If you look at it from a purely supply-demand situation, $98 was the price of a point of fentanyl.
00:22:52.000Fentanyl sold by the point as opposed to Graham's cocaine.
00:24:39.000This shouldn't be politicized to be able to say we need to restrain the amount of supply of fentanyl coming into our communities.
00:24:45.000You know, I'm in Indiana right now, and it seems as if kind of middle Appalachia to the central Midwest is disproportionately affected by the fentanyl crisis for multiple reasons.
00:24:55.000One of them being that fentanyl is kind of the last drug on the kind of regimen, you would say, of illegal drugs post-opioid exposure.
00:25:07.000And the muscular class is overly exposed to opioid use.
00:25:12.000You have a back injury at work, you get on opioids from your doctor, and then eventually you start to get to more and more extreme highs, which then will lead you to fentanyl.
00:25:20.000Why are the Democrats not on board with this enthusiastically?
00:25:24.000What would your speculation be for that?
00:25:27.000Well, I think their quest is this open border that allows what they believe will be empowering votes for themselves.
00:25:35.000I mean, I can't think of any other reason.
00:25:37.000We can go through all of the negative effects on our country from the economic impact to the jobs that are taken away from low socioeconomic people in the United States, from the migrants that come across.
00:25:51.000We can go through list after list after list.
00:25:53.000MS-13, the drugs, of course, being one reason why they should close and secure our southern border, but they refuse to do so.
00:26:00.000The only logical conclusion is they want votes and they think these people will come here and have children and those children will vote Democrat.
00:26:08.000Unfortunately, I don't think that's true.
00:26:11.000Joe Biden's approval rating amongst Latinos in America right now is the lowest demographic in the country at 26%.
00:26:18.000But regardless, they think that's their future.
00:26:23.000So they don't care about the collateral damage that's caused by the open border.
00:26:30.000And it's consistent with everything the Democrats do, whether it's House Resolution 1 that shifts elections to D.C., stacking the Supreme Court, D.C. statehood, every single thing they're moving for or they're trying to advance in Washington, D.C. is to empower themselves into perpetuity.
00:26:44.000And so that's their policy on the southern border.
00:26:48.000So going into November, really quick, as we kind of close out this segment, what do you think are the top messages that Republicans need to bring into their districts and into their states right now?
00:27:02.000So in states, it's different for each state.
00:27:05.000I believe in my state, the border is the number one issue.
00:27:09.000In many states, inflation in the economy.
00:27:12.000And very clearly, Democrat policies have both decreased the supply of goods through their supply chain management and, of course, increased the price of the flood of cash.
00:27:24.000So, the price of meat, we're just going to keep pushing the theme that it's costing you $7,000 more a year as an American to live in America because of the policies, the economic policies of the left.
00:27:36.000And we'll also push, of course, the southern border and the chaos, the instability that that creates.
00:29:16.000Kitty Genovese was a woman in New York City.
00:29:20.000Now, part of this story was embellished a little bit, but the essence of it is true.
00:29:25.000Kitty Genovese was raped and sexually assaulted in an alleyway, of which there were multiple eyewitnesses that heard it happen and they did nothing.
00:29:35.000Now, mind you, the situation that happened on the subway, remember last year where the illegal alien in downtown Philadelphia raped a woman for 40 minutes and no one did anything on the subway.
00:29:52.000The bystander effect has been happening in every corner of our country the last couple of years.
00:29:59.000So it shouldn't surprise you when police officers just do nothing.
00:30:05.000It shouldn't shock you when police officers just sit idly by when children are murdered.
00:30:14.000I wish I just refuse to believe it, but every report shows.
00:30:18.000And the timeline looks like it makes sense.
00:30:20.000And we're going to get more clarity that 40 minutes, that for 40 minutes, the police officers who were sworn to do something were just spectators.
00:31:35.000I'm just reading from Breitbart.com, which is not the Washington Post, about why there is an hour gap between the gunmen being completely and totally barricaded in and nothing happening.
00:31:52.000Why were parents being tased and being detained?
00:31:57.000The gunman did not exchange fire with a Uvalde district police officer outside the school, according to the timeline.
00:32:03.000That police officer was not stationed at the school, but instead in a car nearby and rushed to the scene after the first calls came into a 911 gunman near the school around 11.30 on Tuesday.
00:32:13.000As the officer arrived at the school, the gunman was already approaching, began firing at the school and entered according to the timeline.
00:32:17.000Within minutes, other law enforcement had arrived at the school.
00:32:19.000According to the timeline, two members of the Uvalde Police Department had entered the school.
00:32:23.000The gunman at that point had gone inside a pair of adjoining classrooms and was shooting according to the timeline.
00:32:27.000The two officers attempted to enter the classroom and were shot.
00:32:29.000At that point, they fell back as the shooting continued inside the classroom.
00:32:34.000He continued shooting through the wall and the door at law enforcement who were arriving outside the classroom.
00:32:39.000It was during those minutes law enforcement officials believe that the gunman, identified as, we don't say the name, killed most, if not all, the children inside the adjoining classroom.
00:32:46.000There was sporadic gunfire from the suspect until a tactical team arrived and killed until 1 p.m., according to the timeline.
00:33:46.000And police officers that do not go and neutralize a shooter for one hour have a lot of explaining to do.
00:33:55.000I'm getting pretty upset the more I read about this.
00:33:58.000Latest reports, video published by the Washington Post, which notes at 1154, shows frustrated parents chastising police and trying to get into the school.
00:34:05.000Officials said the gunman was killed more than an hour later.
00:34:09.000So the police officers were babysitting parents while the gunman was murdering children.
00:35:14.000Police officers are graded at a different level and they should be than just an everyday citizen.
00:35:21.000A police officer is sworn in to protect the community.
00:35:27.000And some people say, well, Charlie, the police officer has a gun just to protect themselves.
00:35:34.000So you're trying to tell me that under no moral argument you think it's proper for a police officer to go man up and go in and go confront the coward to save children's lives.
00:35:52.000I don't understand with the police being able to stand and do nothing, but I believe you and I might feel differently if we went through a tactical training session with police.
00:35:58.000The very simple axiom that you just don't know until you've walked several miles in someone else's shoes.
