00:00:32.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:33.000 Here we go.
00:00:34.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:36.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:38.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:41.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:44.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:45.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:46.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:48.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:53.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:00:55.000 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.
00:01:04.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:07.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:16.000 So, Osama bin Laden is going viral.
00:01:18.000 If you fail to teach a generation good from evil, right from wrong, don't be shocked when they start to embrace some of the most evil people ever to live.
00:01:28.000 America is the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:01:31.000 And I have told our donors and our supporters, and many of you that support us at Turning Point USA, a majority of young people view America as the enemy.
00:01:40.000 They believe that this country they are living in is an evil country.
00:01:44.000 So don't be shocked when a generation who hates the country because they've been told to hate the country starts to embrace the enemies of the country.
00:01:52.000 Now, the story is actually much deeper than that.
00:01:54.000 But let me kind of tell you the entire last 48 hours, 72 hours, basically.
00:02:00.000 And by the way, Generation Z is confused on men and women.
00:02:04.000 Are we shocked that they sympathize with terrorists?
00:02:07.000 This recent chapter of virality is what happens when you send your kids to college.
00:02:15.000 Do not be shocked when you subsidize anti-Americanism, subsidize anti-Western ideas and beliefs.
00:02:25.000 And all of a sudden, Gen Z says, wow, I think Osama bin Laden is this very smart man.
00:02:32.000 Going viral on TikTok, which should have been banned by Republicans years ago.
00:02:37.000 Donald Trump should have banned TikTok, but he didn't.
00:02:39.000 Going viral on TikTok, a Chinese Communist Party application, is Osama bin Laden's manifesto, his letter to America, explaining in his own words why he planned 9-11, why he did it. 0.67
00:02:57.000 Now, this goes all the way back to 2002.
00:02:59.000 For me, this was not news.
00:03:00.000 I remember reading this back in 2009, 2010.
00:03:04.000 There's a lot in this letter that is worth talking about, and we're going to talk about it.
00:03:09.000 This is an evil man.
00:03:10.000 This is modern Hitler who writes this letter. 0.92
00:03:16.000 A couple of people on TikTok said, oh, did you know why Osama bin Laden allegedly planned 9-11?
00:03:21.000 Do you know why he did it?
00:03:22.000 And it went viral.
00:03:25.000 10 million people on TikTok talking about it.
00:03:29.000 In fact, many people, young people, Gen Zers, are praising Osama bin Laden, saying that Osama bin Laden is getting a bad rap.
00:03:39.000 Now, understand, many of these youngsters, they have no memory of 9-11.
00:03:44.000 I remember exactly where I was when those planes hit those two towers.
00:03:49.000 I was in the second grade classroom.
00:03:52.000 I remember exactly where I was.
00:03:55.000 This is an important clip here.
00:03:59.000 Play cut 128, a montage of Jen Zears on TikTok reacting to the bin Laden letter.
00:04:07.000 Play cut 128.
00:04:09.000 To deceive you, my voice just wants to leave you.
00:04:20.000 And actually, before you even read the letter, I did want to mention in reading the letter, I could only think of this tweet that I saw the other day.
00:04:27.000 Under settler colonialism, any kind of resistance is branded as terrorist because the only acceptable violence is violence by the occupier.
00:04:35.000 So please keep that in mind when reading the letter.
00:04:38.000 It is just insane because this letter is so well written and so reasonably structured.
00:04:45.000 In an argument, like you got to present your findings, you got to, you know, you got to state your cause, all that.
00:04:54.000 Like everything he said was valid.
00:04:57.000 Gen Z is embracing Osama bin Laden. 0.90
00:05:00.000 Not everyone in Gen Z, but it has gone beyond viral.
00:05:03.000 Gonna go here to cut 126.
00:05:05.000 TikToker, I'm not about here to sit here and act like Osama bin Laden is the worst person in America.
00:05:10.000 By the way, this is such a big story.
00:05:12.000 It's the front page of the New York Post.
00:05:13.000 Put 125 up.
00:05:14.000 Some of you might say, Charlie, what do you mean I'm not on TikTok?
00:05:16.000 This is the number one story for Gen Zers right now.
00:05:18.000 The number one conversation in the country is Osama bin Laden's letter because it involves Israel.
00:05:25.000 World gone madman.
00:05:27.000 Play cut 126.
00:05:30.000 That turns y'all defending Osama bin Laden now. 0.56
00:05:32.000 It's not that I'm defending him.
00:05:33.000 I'm not defending him because like, but I'm not about to sit here and act like he's just the worst person in the world when America has literally been terrorizing people since the beginning of history.
00:05:47.000 America is literally built on terrorizing people when, what's his name?
00:05:53.000 Whatever the guy's name is that discovered America and found the land, he lied.
00:05:59.000 It's been a lie.
00:06:00.000 Everything's a lie.
00:06:01.000 And then it's like, okay, defending Osama bin Laden. 0.89
00:06:03.000 And we're supposed to be defending America for giving them our hard-earned money to kill people for gen, like, what?
00:06:10.000 That don't even make, like, I'm so pissed off right now.
00:06:13.000 I don't even understand.
00:06:13.000 Like, oh my God.
00:06:16.000 Been seen millions and millions of times.
00:06:18.000 It's an opinion and an attitude that is being embraced by this up-and-coming Gen Z.
00:06:24.000 But what is it?
00:06:25.000 I think it's a lot more complicated than some people are framing it.
00:06:29.000 I agree with what Megan Kelly said yesterday.
00:06:31.000 I think it's an incomplete analysis, but I do agree.
00:06:34.000 This is a failure of parenting and a failure of the American culture.
00:06:38.000 Parents are awful largely in America right now.
00:06:40.000 They have not done a good enough job of teaching the history.
00:06:44.000 You get tyranny, you get madness, you get chaos when you do not teach a generation what has happened prior.
00:06:51.000 As it says in the book of Exodus, then rose a king of Egypt who did not know Joseph.
00:06:57.000 You do not know what came before you, the sacrifices, the toil, then you get madness.
00:07:04.000 We have done a terrible job of teaching the next generation.
00:07:09.000 What was 9-11?
00:07:11.000 Who are the good guys?
00:07:12.000 Who are the bad guys?
00:07:13.000 What does good even mean?
00:07:14.000 When I go to a college campus, the moral shallowness is remarkable.
00:07:20.000 But it's an incomplete answer.
00:07:23.000 It's also gone viral because this letter has been largely censored.
00:07:29.000 And it is written in a way where if you are not educated correctly, you think as if you have stumbled upon something revealing.
00:07:40.000 That which you censor and you suppress, you run the risk of getting more of.
00:07:46.000 Instead of having a dialogue about what this letter is and what it contained when it came out in 2002, it was buried.
00:07:55.000 Tucker Carlson, way back when, I think he was working at CNN at the time, decided to talk about this letter on air and he was attacked by the American Council of Rabbis as being an anti-Semite because there are things in this letter that could be misunderstood by an evil madman Hitlerian figure.
00:08:16.000 What is in the Osama bin Laden letter?
00:08:19.000 Have you ever heard of it?
00:08:20.000 Have you read it?
00:08:22.000 Well, theGuardian.com made a huge mistake.
00:08:25.000 They decided to take down the letter as it was going viral on TikTok, creating the Barbara Streison effect, where famously only a couple people were viewing the picture of her home.
00:08:34.000 And then she said, I'm going to sue to not have people be able to view pictures of my home.
00:08:39.000 And more people then wanted to view pictures of her home.
00:08:41.000 What is in the Osama bin Laden letter?
00:08:44.000 What does it contain?
00:08:48.000 Public Square is one of my favorite apps.
00:08:51.000 There are progressive corporations out there that are just doing terrible things.
00:08:54.000 And Public Square is out there leading the charge against all this garbage that we see from Target, for example, Starbucks strong-arming their customers to support abortion, and financial services like PayPal canceling customers for their political views.
00:09:09.000 Thankfully, we don't have to fund these companies any longer at Public Square.
00:09:12.000 We now have a solution.
00:09:14.000 Join the movement of millions of patriotic Americans who love truth, our country, and our Constitution at publicsq.m-O-B-I slash Charlie Kirk.

00:09:44.000 100% behind him.
00:09:44.000 Good friend of mine.
00:09:46.000 Check it out today.
00:09:49.000 Get off your fing iPhone.
00:09:51.000 Pay attention to your child.
00:09:52.000 Look at your kids' lessons.
00:09:54.000 Get out. 0.99
00:09:55.000 Step down from the women's march, which, by the way, was totally anti-Semitic when we called it out, as did many at the time. 1.00
00:10:02.000 Do some parenting if you're going to bother having a child.
00:10:05.000 And stop indoctrinating your own children to those of you who are on the left in this pernicious woke ideology because this is where it lands.
00:10:12.000 I'm very fired up about it, Carol.
00:10:14.000 I feel like we're totally forgetting.
00:10:15.000 We're forgetting 9-11.
00:10:17.000 And it's, you know what's going to happen?
00:10:19.000 It's going to happen again.
00:10:20.000 Well, we are forgetting 9-11 because we are framing an attack on a Western country as heroic. 0.66
00:10:26.000 That's what happens when you send your kid to college far too often.
00:10:30.000 I like Megan's approach.
00:10:32.000 I'm going to add to it.
00:10:33.000 The reason I like Megan's approach is that it's not enough just to say, oh, it's the government schools.
00:10:38.000 It's the media.
00:10:39.000 It starts at home.
00:10:41.000 And the quality of parenting has declined in recent years.
00:10:45.000 As Megan put it in her tweet, how many parents are just boozing away letting kids look at their phones all day long?
00:10:53.000 It's a decline of the entire moral fabric of the country.
00:10:56.000 The quality of parenting that I have seen is declining day by day.
00:11:04.000 So The Guardian, back in November of 2002, published Bin Laden's letter to America.
00:11:13.000 Now, we stumbled upon this letter to America through a very strange series of events.
00:11:18.000 It was on a laptop that we happened to find and a reporter obtained it.
00:11:24.000 This should have been the number one news story on the planet.
00:11:31.000 Why isn't it?
00:11:33.000 We should have debated it when it came out back in November of 2002.
00:11:37.000 Tucker Carlson, working for either CNN or MSNBC at the time, tried to cover it.
00:11:46.000 I think it was CNN.
00:11:48.000 And he was attacked relentlessly by the American Council of Rabbis.
00:11:54.000 In this letter, it's a grab bag of stuff.
00:11:57.000 Osama bin Laden says, I did 9-11 because you guys didn't join the Kyoto Protocol for global warming.
00:12:04.000 Okay.
00:12:04.000 That you guys are allowing your women to become degraded.
00:12:08.000 But the part here that is going viral is more than anything else is Osama bin Laden said that we planned 9-11.
00:12:20.000 We did 9-11 because you support Israel. 1.00
00:12:24.000 He said, why are we fighting and opposing you?
00:12:26.000 The answer is very simple.
00:12:28.000 One, because you attacked us and continued to attack us.
00:12:31.000 A, you attacked us in Palestine.
00:12:34.000 This is his very first justification for the attacks.
00:12:38.000 He says, quote, the creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased.
00:12:43.000 Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards the crime must pay its price and pay for it heavily.
00:12:52.000 He then goes on to say, you attacked us in Somalia.
00:12:55.000 You supported the Russian atrocities against us in Chechnya, the Indian oppression against us in Kashmir, very strange, and the Jewish aggression against us in Lebanon.
00:13:04.000 It's going viral because a generation says, I've never been taught this.
00:13:09.000 And they are right about that.
00:13:10.000 They've never been taught a lot of things.
00:13:11.000 They've never been taught who Osama bin Laden is and how evil he is.
00:13:15.000 But a rule that has been proven to be true over time is that when you suppress something and you censor something, you make it more interesting.
00:13:27.000 It is the Streisand effect.
00:13:30.000 This story has been suppressed for 20 years.
00:13:32.000 I don't find this letter that revealing, to be honest with you.
00:13:36.000 I don't find it that interesting.
00:13:38.000 It's kind of all over the place.
00:13:40.000 It's, you know, because you guys didn't join Kyoto and Kyoto and all this.
00:13:43.000 It feels like excuses. 0.98
00:13:46.000 He hates Jews. 1.00
00:13:47.000 He hates America. 0.99
00:13:49.000 And what is the reaction?
00:13:51.000 Well, now the letter has been banned from TikTok.
00:13:54.000 That's only going to make the letter even bigger.
00:13:57.000 The Guardian took it down.
00:13:59.000 Either we in the West can handle what the letter says or not.
00:14:04.000 That's the wrong way to handle this.
00:14:05.000 Start censoring it and start manipulating algorithms.
00:14:09.000 That makes it feel like it's more true, which it really isn't.
00:14:14.000 There's no truth to the idea that Osama bin Laden is some sort of wise person, some sort of deep thinker like Gen Z is thinking. 0.96
00:14:20.000 No, he's repulsive.
00:14:21.000 He's also had some very weird stuff on his computer, like very weird stuff.
00:14:26.000 Nikki Haley has come out and said, Nikki says viral Biden, a bin Laden letter is proof that we need to ban TikTok.
00:14:33.000 Well, we need to ban TikTok for other reasons, not just the bin Laden letter.
00:14:38.000 But why is the gut reaction when something ugly goes viral that we need to start banning stuff?
00:14:44.000 Why don't we go out there and talk about this and say, you know what?
00:14:48.000 We should have had a national conversation about the bin Laden letter back in 2002.
00:14:52.000 Would we have invaded Iraq if we had talked about this letter?
00:14:56.000 I don't know who actually tried to censor this letter from coming out back in 2002.
00:15:05.000 For 10 years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:15:10.000 And when I say only, trust me, they're the only one.
00:15:12.000 I think the world of Patriot Mobile, they are amazing people, Glenn and the whole team.
00:15:17.000 We have dinner frequently.
00:15:18.000 I've gotten to know them.
00:15:19.000 They're incredible.
00:15:21.000 And I'm so proud to partner with them.
00:15:22.000 They are donors.
00:15:23.000 The Turning Point USA, they are the best.
00:15:25.000 You see, Patriot Mobile, they offer dependable nationwide coverage, giving you ability to access all three major networks, which means you get the same coverage that you're accustomed to without funding the left.
00:15:35.000 So look, you got to make the switch today.
00:15:37.000 And when you do that, when you switch to Patriot Mobile, you send a clear, convincing, and resounding message that you support freedom of speech, religious liberty, the sanctity of life, Second Amendment, our military veterans and first responder heroes.
00:15:50.000 Their 100% U.S.-based customer service team can make switching very easy.
00:15:54.000 So, you keep your number, you keep your phone, or you upgrade.
00:15:57.000 Their team will help you find the best plan for your needs.
00:16:00.000 Just go to patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie or call 972 Patriot.
00:16:05.000 Glenn and the team there will be more than happy to help you.
00:16:08.000 Just tell them Charlie Kirk sent you.
00:16:10.000 They are amazing, super great to work with.
00:16:12.000 Very generous supporters of Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action.
00:16:16.000 They are mission-aligned.
00:16:17.000 Have your cell phone bill work for the country.
00:16:19.000 Make your cell phone bill work for America.
00:16:22.000 Join me and make the switch today.
00:16:25.000 That is patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie.
00:16:28.000 Full endorsement, patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie, or call 972 Patriot.
00:16:35.000 If you read the bin Laden letter, it does beg a question of okay, they say he wrote this.
00:16:44.000 I mean, it very well could have been edited by a third party because it's very, very well written.
00:16:48.000 And honestly, I don't trust the CIA at all.
00:16:50.000 So, maybe the CIA was involved.
00:16:52.000 But, I mean, let's just take it at face value that Osama bin Laden wrote this.
00:16:55.000 Let's just take it.
00:16:57.000 And it's written directly to the American people, allegedly.
00:17:01.000 And he says, Why are we fighting and opposing you?
00:17:06.000 Why are we calling to you?
00:17:07.000 What do you want from you now?
00:17:09.000 And it's all about the creation of Israel.
00:17:11.000 He says, 'Oh, the creation of Israel is a crime that must be erased.
00:17:13.000 Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its price and pay for it heavily.' It brings us to both laughter and tears to see that you Americans have not yet grown tired of your fabricated lies.
00:17:27.000 The Jews have a historical right to Palestine as it was promised to them in the Torah.
00:17:32.000 Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-Semitism.
00:17:36.000 This is one of the most fallacious, widely circulated fabrications in history.
00:17:41.000 The people of Palestine are pure Arabs and original Semites.
00:17:45.000 It is the Muslims who are the inheritors of Moses, peace be upon him. 1.00
00:17:50.000 And the real inheritors of the real Torah, which have not changed, Muslims believe this is just mainline Muslim belief, by the way. 0.64
00:17:58.000 Muslims believe in all the prophets, including Abraham, Moseph, Jesus, and Muhammad, which is true. 0.90
00:18:04.000 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon all of them.
00:18:06.000 If the followers of Moses have been a promised right to Palestine in the Torah, then the Muslims are worthy, are the most worthy nation of this. 0.85
00:18:14.000 Continues, and I'll close with this.
00:18:15.000 When the Muslims conquered Palestine and drove out the Romans, Palestine and Jerusalem returned to Islam, the religion of the prophets, peace be upon them. 1.00
00:18:25.000 Therefore, the call to a historical right to Palestine cannot be raised against the Islamic ummah and believed in all the prophets of Allah, and peace and blessing be upon them.
00:18:34.000 Okay, and we make no distinctions to them.
00:18:35.000 Okay, so you guys can read this letter.
00:18:37.000 Oh, wait, you can't.
00:18:40.000 I was going to tell you where to find this letter.
00:18:41.000 It's very hard to find.
00:18:44.000 There's nothing.
00:18:45.000 I mean, again, does this move me in any way?
00:18:48.000 My biggest complaint with this whole thing, the reason why it's going viral to a generation being taught to hate the country, is you have this fertile ground of a generation taught to hate the country, hate the West, and they read this thing from Osama bin Laden, like, oh my goodness, what's next?
00:18:59.000 Mein Kampf, probably.
00:19:00.000 I mean, the new TikTok thing is going to say, you know, this Hitler guy, he got a really bad rap.
00:19:05.000 I'm telling you.
00:19:05.000 It's coming soon.
00:19:06.000 It's, but you want to make something bigger, censor it.
00:19:13.000 In the new internet era, it makes something sexier.
00:19:17.000 It's not the internet era.
00:19:18.000 It's just, it's a rule for life.
00:19:21.000 You used to be able to get away with outright banning before the internet, before television, before radio.
00:19:26.000 You used to be able to create things on the fringes.
00:19:30.000 This is something that we're going to have to face big time.
00:19:37.000 And for those of us that are on the side of the truth, even if the truth makes you uncomfortable, I think we're living through the most exciting enlightenment that I've lived through.
00:19:45.000 People are waking up to the COVID vaccine thing.
00:19:47.000 People are waking up to the idea that we should have locked down schools and put masks on kids.
00:19:52.000 People are waking up to Ukraine. 0.68
00:19:54.000 They're waking up to the border.
00:19:56.000 They are waking up to the race hustle that has dominated our country.
00:20:03.000 They're waking up to the trans nonsense. 1.00
00:20:06.000 They're waking up to a variety of things.
00:20:08.000 Election integrity, safe and secure, most secure election in our lifetime.
00:20:13.000 They're waking up to all of the anti-whiteness in our culture.
00:20:19.000 It is now acceptable to point out anti-white racism.
00:20:23.000 That is a moving of the Overton window.
00:20:25.000 They used to smear anyone in the right when they used to have a sign that says, it's okay to be white.
00:20:31.000 Oh, my goodness, they would come after you.
00:20:33.000 The kids, the Gen Zers that go on TikTok and they say, it's all a lie. 0.96
00:20:39.000 Well, hold on, time out.
00:20:40.000 Be a little more precise than that, but they're not totally incorrect when they're saying that we have been lied to repeatedly.
00:20:47.000 Our government has told us lie after lie and then covered it up and smeared and censored and attacked us.
00:20:56.000 We've been saying this for quite some time.
00:20:58.000 And what makes something seem more true when you can't even find it?
00:21:08.000 And so, I mean, I read this Osama bin Laden letter. 0.97
00:21:11.000 It's written by a madman. 1.00
00:21:12.000 It's written by a maniac. 0.99
00:21:13.000 I don't think it's smart, honestly. 0.86
00:21:15.000 I think it's somewhat well written as far as just thylistically.
00:21:19.000 Maybe a CIA agent helped him.
00:21:21.000 Maybe, I don't know.
00:21:22.000 Maybe a Westerner helped him.
00:21:23.000 I think this has been edited.
00:21:24.000 I find it hard to believe that he wrote every word of this, but let's just say he did.
00:21:28.000 Okay, let's just for argument's sake.
00:21:30.000 Okay, it's just like mainline radical Islam.
00:21:33.000 Like this is not stuff that you're not, I mean, you guys watch memory, M-E-M-R-I. 0.95
00:21:37.000 It's like no different.
00:21:38.000 Like, okay, yeah, the nation of martyrdom, the nation that desires more death than you desire life.
00:21:42.000 Okay, great.
00:21:42.000 Yeah, Quran page 3, 169, 171.
00:21:45.000 The nation of victory and such that Allah promised. 0.65
00:21:47.000 Okay, like this is not that shocking.
00:21:51.000 So then it ventures the guess.
00:21:53.000 And this is where the Gen Z kids are onto something, not their worship of bin Laden. 1.00
00:21:57.000 That's a bunch of crap. 0.99
00:21:58.000 Let me be very clear. 1.00
00:21:59.000 That is a bunch of morally repugnant poison.
00:22:03.000 But some of the Gen Z kids, because you don't want to say, you don't want to paint with too big broad of a brush.
00:22:08.000 But some of the Gen Z kids, they're saying, wait a second, if we would have known about this 20 years ago, would we have engaged into these adventurous, aggressive wars? 0.78
00:22:19.000 That's a legitimate question.
00:22:21.000 And some of you in our email inbox, by the way, we're getting thousands of emails.
00:22:25.000 Charlie, why have I never heard about this?
00:22:30.000 By the way, newsweek.com still does have the letter up.
00:22:34.000 And I encourage you guys to read it.
00:22:36.000 I don't think you should be afraid of confronting something that is evil.
00:22:41.000 In fact, I think it's necessary.
00:22:43.000 So let's go back into the Wayback Machine and talk about how this was suppressed.
00:22:51.000 This is Tucker Carlson on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow.
00:22:56.000 We do not know the date of this, but Tucker talks about how the Osama bin Laden letter was not on his threats, but it's a political argument against neocons.
00:23:09.000 I recently had lunch with Tucker.
00:23:10.000 This is before this went viral.
00:23:12.000 This is what's crazy.
00:23:14.000 Tucker and I were privately meeting, and I don't want to share too many details, but Tucker basically said they came after me really hard for this.
00:23:19.000 It's all public stuff.
00:23:21.000 And so I think I mentioned this before this went viral.
00:23:23.000 And they came after him as an anti-Semite, and Tucker's like, oh my God, he almost lost his career.
00:23:28.000 Play cut 132 of 20 years ago, Tucker Carlson.
00:23:32.000 The substance of this was not really about his threats.
00:23:34.000 Actually, it was much more complicated than that. 0.99
00:23:36.000 I've read, I think, every public communique he's come out with, and they're always about the Crusaders and the Jews and how Israel is evil and we're evil and we're going to kill you all. 0.97
00:23:43.000 This was not about that, actually. 0.99
00:23:44.000 He was making a political case.
00:23:45.000 You read the whole thing.
00:23:46.000 It was about how the war in Iraq is doomed because the American people don't support it.
00:23:51.000 And the war in Iraq was waged in the first place because the warmongers at Halliburton and the crazed neocons were behind it.
00:23:57.000 And they, you know, changed Bush's mind and got him to support it.
00:24:00.000 That's like, do you recognize that argument?
00:24:03.000 I mean, I do.
00:24:04.000 Recognize that argument?
00:24:06.000 What Tucker's talking about is the Osama bin Laden letter.
00:24:11.000 That's what he's talking about.
00:24:13.000 So he connected the dots.
00:24:15.000 Because understand, none of the major networks were covering this.
00:24:19.000 So people have been lied to and they feel lied to.
00:24:23.000 You can find the letter at newsweek.com.
00:24:26.000 And by the way, some of these like fake intellectuals on TikTok are like, I'm so impressed by Osama bin Laden. 0.95
00:24:31.000 He's so smart.
00:24:32.000 It's not smart, honestly.
00:24:33.000 It's just not. 0.95
00:24:34.000 It's just kind of mainline Muslim finger wagging. 1.00
00:24:38.000 I hate you because of this and I'm going to kill you. 1.00
00:24:40.000 Okay. 1.00
00:24:41.000 Thanks, pal.
00:24:42.000 Got it.
00:24:44.000 Now this letter, though, is being used just so you say, okay, Charlie guy, what does that have to do now?
00:24:49.000 Let me tell you right now, fast forward, this letter is now being used as an instrument against supporting Israel.
00:24:57.000 So Gen Z is saying, C, there wouldn't be 9-11.
00:25:02.000 There wouldn't be Islamic terror if we did not support Israel. 0.97
00:25:06.000 C, confirmation bias.
00:25:08.000 This letter is now being used as confirmation bias.
00:25:11.000 And then they say, they're kicking it off TikTok.
00:25:14.000 They're kicking it off The Guardian.
00:25:16.000 It must be true.
00:25:18.000 It's a big conspiracy.
00:25:19.000 So here again is my advice, of which is not heeded at all.
00:25:25.000 If you are a pro-Israel person, if you're a pro-American person, and you are bothered by the fact that the Osama bin Laden letter is going viral, confront it directly with speech.
00:25:36.000 Don't censor it.
00:25:38.000 Debate it.
00:25:39.000 Be like, okay, well, this is not that, you know, structurally smart. 0.99
00:25:42.000 Like, this is actually very weird Islamic theology at times, talking about like you have to kill the non-believers. 0.87
00:25:50.000 You're mad that we didn't get into the treaty at Kyoto over global. 1.00
00:25:55.000 Like, this is an unhinged lunatic. 1.00
00:25:56.000 This is not that smart. 1.00
00:25:58.000 That's how you handle it.
00:26:00.000 You don't bury it.
00:26:02.000 If you bury it, it's as if you're worried that the information is true.
00:26:11.000 It is information warfare.
00:26:12.000 In fact, if you wanted it to get bigger, you would bury it.
00:26:16.000 And I'm just flipping through this.
00:26:18.000 The American army is part of the American people.
00:26:20.000 It's the very same people who shamelessly helping the Jews fight against us. 1.00
00:26:24.000 This is why the American people cannot be innocent of all the crimes committed by the Americans and Jews against us. 1.00
00:26:28.000 Allah the Almighty legislated the permission and the option to take revenge. 0.79
00:26:33.000 Thus, this is what people consider smart.
00:26:36.000 Thus, if we attacked, then we have the right to attack back.
00:26:39.000 Whoever has destroyed our villages and towns, then we have to destroy their villages and towns.
00:26:42.000 Whoever has stolen our wealth, then we have the right to destroy their economy. 0.89
00:26:45.000 Whoever has killed our civilians, we have the right to kill theirs. 0.81
00:26:48.000 And the American government and press still refuse to answer the question, why did they attack us in New York and Washington?
00:26:54.000 So he's saying, we attacked you because you guys have been imperialistically moving into the Middle East.
00:27:03.000 You want my theory?
00:27:04.000 This letter was suppressed by neocons that are so intellectually fragile that they were afraid that if this letter was discussed, their warmongering plans would have fallen apart.
00:27:15.000 That's why it was buried.
00:27:16.000 And it is buried right now for similar reasons.
00:27:22.000 Here is Tucker Carlson.
00:27:24.000 This got him in a lot of trouble.
00:27:25.000 I'm going to get the organization that came after him.
00:27:28.000 I'm being imprecise with that, but this is Tucker debating with Rachel Maddow 20 years ago on MSNBC.
00:27:34.000 It got him in a huge scandal, saying that if you read the Osama bin Laden letter, it will change your mind.
00:27:40.000 Play Cup 133.
00:27:42.000 It's not that I'm taking my, it's not that I'm taking my in the ball.
00:27:44.000 Of course, I'm outraged Osama. 0.52
00:27:45.000 And Osama threatens the U.S. is hardly a headline. 0.78
00:27:47.000 It's background noise.
00:27:48.000 It's the boilerplate.
00:27:49.000 He threatens America by his existence.
00:27:51.000 I just think it's uncanny.
00:27:53.000 And I think you should reread it.
00:27:54.000 You'll change your mind.
00:27:55.000 And then play cut 134.
00:27:58.000 Osama criticizes Bush.
00:27:59.000 Ted Kennedy criticizes Bush.
00:28:01.000 Therefore, Osama loves Ted.
00:28:02.000 No, no, no. 0.98
00:28:03.000 It's ridiculous. 0.97
00:28:03.000 No, actually, I'm not saying right-wing. 0.97
00:28:05.000 I'm not saying that.
00:28:06.000 I'm saying he's not criticizing.
00:28:07.000 And there's nothing wrong with criticizing Bush.
00:28:08.000 I criticize Bush.
00:28:09.000 I'm saying he's criticizing Bush in exactly the same ways with exactly the same terminology.
00:28:14.000 It's literally like he got the blast facts from HQ.
00:28:18.000 This is Tucker Carlson and Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.
00:28:22.000 What a different world we lived in.
00:28:26.000 What a different world we lived in.
00:28:29.000 The full text can be found at newsweek.com.
00:28:31.000 It is the number one news story with young people.
00:28:33.000 And then it's just, they go the next step, which is just so sick.
00:28:40.000 Saying that, well, maybe Osama bin Laden had some points, but look, they're going to keep on embracing anti-American. 0.54
00:28:45.000 They are embracing Hamas. 0.98
00:28:46.000 Why would you be shocked that they're embracing Osama bin Laden? 0.98
00:28:49.000 This moral equivalency that exists with Gen Z is what happens when you don't raise your kids as parents and then you send them to college. 0.95
00:28:58.000 And you send them to college.
00:29:00.000 They're taught that.
00:29:01.000 You know, maybe Osama bin Laden had a point. 0.99
00:29:03.000 Maybe it's perfectly fine to kill the innocents and hijack the planes. 0.98
00:29:08.000 Go read the actual philosophical writings of Franz Fanan.
00:29:14.000 Franz Fanan, who wrote extensively about decolonization by any means necessary.
00:29:24.000 It's taught in our schools, extensively in our schools.
00:29:29.000 Let's go to this tape here.
00:29:32.000 This is Biden's education secretary addressing the issue.
00:29:36.000 Play cut 124.
00:29:38.000 There's been a bunch of stories about the viral nature of a TikTok video of people reading the letter from Osama bin Laden.
00:29:47.000 It's stunning to those of us who were alive during 9-11, and yet millions upon millions of people have viewed it.
00:29:53.000 Does that say something about the education system, about social media platforms, about algorithms?
00:29:59.000 How do you view that as the education secretary?
00:30:01.000 You're right, Phil.
00:30:01.000 It is stunning.
00:30:02.000 I was a school principal when that happened, and that impacted how we taught students and how we protected students that day.
00:30:11.000 I do believe it is a lot, there's a lot of misinformation, and we have a responsibility collectively to make sure we're guiding students on how to look for misinformation, how to be educated consumers of information.
00:30:23.000 But I also think we need to continue to work with parents to make sure that they're aware of what tools they have at their disposal to limit misinformation from students and protect their students.
00:30:33.000 That's the Secretary of Education.
00:30:35.000 How about you admit that the education department of the Biden regime is reinforcing the oppressor-oppressed dynamics that sow the seeds for this sort of embrace of radicalism?
00:30:51.000 And what's so telling about this entire TikTok story, how proud they are to go with their face and their name associated and to say, yeah, he was really great.
00:31:06.000 Or he's not that bad.
00:31:07.000 He's really smart.
00:31:08.000 As if there's just, there's no consequence to that whatsoever.
