00:00:08.000Hey, everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show, we go through Russia Gate 2.0, the new story that they're trying to take down Trump with, which has no facts and is blowing up in the left's faces in real time.
00:00:19.000And we also talk about the tragedy of Chaz, how innocent life has been lost because the police were not able to do their job.
00:00:28.000Email me your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:33.000For your monthly supporters that support us on charliekirk.com slash support that allow us to tell the truth confidently and clearly without threats of boycotts or attacks from the left.
00:01:35.000His 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.
00:01:43.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:04.000I said, if the New York Times is this cavalier about another Russia scandal, I'm going to let all the facts come out before I engage in it.
00:02:11.000And so now we have to share with you how things are today.
00:02:14.000You probably saw this story somewhere because the Biden campaign and the entire Democrat power structure, they were trying to push forth this entire bombshell story, allegedly.
00:02:25.000It was on June 26th of the New York Times published it, that the Russian government was instituting a bounty program in which Putin would pay Afghan soldiers for killing United States troops.
00:02:35.000Now, if true, it's like that old expression, big if true.
00:02:43.000American intelligence officials have concluded that a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan, including targeting American troops amid the peace talks to end the long-running war there, according to officials briefed on the matter.
00:02:59.000Now, if you read that really carefully, if you have a trained eye, you realize there's no named source here.
00:03:09.000American intelligence officials have concluded, and you go through this entire quote, no named source at all whatsoever.
00:03:15.000We have to be immediately skeptical of any story's veracity or its likelihood to be true when they don't name a source.
00:03:24.000America has been burned so many times by unnamed sources where they say, we have a bombshell coming, and they almost always turn out to be duds.
00:03:34.000Think about Donald Trump's going to declare war on Iran, North Korea, so on and so forth.
00:03:40.000The article continued by saying the officials did not describe the mechanics of the Russian operation, such as how targets were picked or how money changed hands.
00:03:48.000It is not clear whether Russian operatives had deployed inside Afghanistan or if they met with Taliban counterparts elsewhere.
00:03:56.000So obviously, if the reports are verified and Russia is indeed engaged in this behavior, it rivals one of the worst Cold War aggressions and it should be responded to with force.
00:04:10.000It's leaked, unverified, incomplete, and sounds like it's cherry-picked intelligence.
00:04:15.000And the timing of the release is very suspicious.
00:04:19.000In fact, I would say it's highly partisan.
00:04:22.000In fact, it read as if it was an attempt to hurt President Trump more than actually trying to hold Russia accountable for what they were allegedly doing with the Taliban.
00:04:31.000Now, mind you, this is RussiaGate 2.0, and that's if you're not counting the Ukrainian hoax.
00:04:36.000And if you did, then it would actually be RussiaGate 3.0.
00:04:39.000Now, Republican Congressman Chris Stewart brought up a very good point, a fascinating point indeed, that no one is talking about.
00:04:46.000He said, quote, this is something that goes back a long time ago.
00:04:49.000This isn't just something that popped up in the last few weeks or the last few months.
00:04:53.000Some of this intelligence actually goes back a couple years ago.
00:04:57.000And that, quote, Nancy Pelosi had this presented to her as well in much the same format.
00:05:12.000Well, he probably didn't act on it because he was too busy impeaching the president of the United States in February.
00:05:18.000But why did he not consider this to be important?
00:05:22.000Nevertheless, the same Democrats who are so hell-bent on backing Trump into a corner over this old question of what did he know and when did he know it, they have never been asked that same question and why they didn't take this seriously.
00:05:35.000And in this case, if President Trump did know about this, depending on whether he was briefed about it, why didn't he respond?
00:05:47.000If he was briefed on this, he would have been repulsed by this.
00:05:51.000This not-so-subtle insinuation by Democrats, by the way, is that if Trump somehow knew this and he threw it away into the shredder and let United States soldiers die all because of this, because he was going to please Vladimir Putin, is reprehensible, steaming garbage.
00:06:06.000Now, pause for a second to think how ridiculous that sounds.
00:06:10.000The notion that President Trump would simply receive this kind of intelligence and be told by top agencies like the CIA or the Director of National Intelligence and that it's completely credible, verifiable, complete, and there's nothing wrong with it, and then not do something about it goes against everything we know about President Trump, unless you think that President Trump is completely awful, of which every one of these accusers believe.
00:06:36.000The White House has come out and they said that President Trump was not orally briefed and oral briefings are typically reserved for the highest priority intel.
00:06:44.000He was given the briefing materials on this supposed bounty scheme.
00:06:48.000It's possible that he didn't read it or it's also possible that he did read it.
00:06:52.000And again, it didn't rise to the level of escalating action.
00:06:55.000Or it's probably even more probable that it was alleged or a suspicion.
00:07:25.000I don't think we should go to war with Russia.
00:07:27.000I think that we should partner with Russia on certain things when we can.
00:07:30.000But generally, I think that Vladimir Putin is a force for evil across the world.
00:07:34.000I don't have nice things to say about Vladimir Putin.
00:07:37.000With that being said, I don't think it's logical that Vladimir Putin would put a bounty on United States soldiers' heads because he knows how that would be responded to.
00:08:12.000President Trump armed the Ukrainian rebels.
00:08:15.000We ended an entire impeachment hoax around that.
00:08:18.000President Trump twice authorized military airstrikes in Syria against Russian wishes.
00:08:24.000President Trump armed the opposition to the Russian-backed forces in Syria.
00:08:30.000President Trump authorized record amount of sanctions against the Russian Federation and its proxies and some of its, let's just say, holding companies across the world.
00:08:41.000President Trump also expelled a record amount of Russian diplomats from the United States.
00:08:47.000And President Trump not just armed the Ukrainian government, but he gave them very sophisticated weaponry that even President Obama did not authorize and President Obama did not approve.
00:09:01.000So this idea that President Trump has been weak on Russia is completely unfounded.
00:09:07.000Now, again, I have a very, I think, nuanced position on Russia.
00:09:10.000I do not have the view of some Republican senators that want to see us do military exercises outside of St. Petersburg and get ready for the next invasion of the Russian Federation, where they're just looking for the next war for us to engage in.
00:09:25.000In fact, I think that a, let's just say, vanilla relationship with Russia where we treat them as not a friend, not as our greatest enemy, but probably as an adversary.
00:09:36.000We have some form of sanctions on them and just more of an annoyance than anything else.
00:09:39.000I think that's a perfectly respectable posture with Russia.
00:09:43.000In fact, I think Russia could be a very helpful partner in restricting China because Russia is also very worried about the rise of China.
00:09:50.000And you see Russia partnering with China because they see nothing but hostility coming out of the United States.
00:09:56.000And by the way, even Lindsey Graham, who's never found a war that he does not want to send American troops to go fight and never found a piece of turf that he does not want to send an American missile to try to carpet bomb, he's even saying that this is a complete and total hoax.
00:10:11.000The president was not briefed as there appear to be contradictory analysis of the threat streams gathered by intelligence community with the most reliable form of intelligence gathering being emphasized.
00:10:21.000The Russians have been involved in Afghanistan dating back to the previous administration and would prefer the United States leave, thus filling the vacuum.
00:10:28.000I completely understand why action against Russia based solely on this intelligence would be unjustified.
00:10:34.000Lindsey Graham finished by saying this, putting the ball in the Democrats' court.
00:10:37.000He said, to the Democrats who want to be hard on Russia, put forward your ideas.
00:10:40.000I would gladly look at them apart from this incident, as I have long had major issues with Putin's Russia.
00:10:46.000I'm sure Lindsey Graham would love to have an excuse to go declare a conflict with Russia.
00:10:51.000Now, I like Lindsey with a lot of things.
00:10:52.000I actually, I'm very friendly with Senator Graham when I see him, and when we spend time together, I just completely and categorically disagree with his foreign policy view, which is that there's never been a bad invasion that the United States has engaged in, and more missiles, the better.
00:11:06.000Not exactly my view of a harmonious foreign policy worldview.
00:11:13.000I think the way that we fought the Afghan war was a mistake.
00:11:16.000White House Press Secretary Kaylee McEnany said, quote, there is no consensus within the intelligence community on these allegations.
00:11:22.000And in fact, there are dissenting opinions from within the intelligence community with regards to the veracity of what's being reported.
00:11:29.000The veracity of the underlying allegations continue to be evaluated.
00:11:33.000And in a very rare occurrence, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA, Gina Haspel, spoke out on the record in an official statement which read, when developing intelligence assessments, initial tactical reports often require additional collection and validation.
00:11:50.000In general, preliminary force protection information is shared throughout the national security community and with U.S. allies as part of an ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of coalition forces overseas.
00:12:01.000Leaks compromise and disrupt the critical interagency work to collect, assess, and ascribe culpability.
00:12:07.000Now, I'm going to finish with Gina Haspel's statement, but what she's saying is that this was a leak.
00:12:12.000Why don't we have people going to prison who are leaking classified information?
00:12:16.000And now, mind you, Gina Haspel had to release this statement.
00:12:29.000It sounds like the steel dossier, I should say.
00:12:33.000So now Gina Haspel has to go through all these ridiculous calisthenics to try to convince the American people that the New York Times is way ahead of themselves.
00:12:45.000And the New York Times has now created a massive misdirection effort where now for a week straight, this has been one of the top stories in the leftist media.
00:12:53.000Now, you may or may not have become aware of this story, but in DC circles, this is considered to be a big deal right now.
00:12:59.000I know for those of you that are out of work or have a brother addicted to opioids or worried if you have to wear a mask under threat of arrest or your church is an opening, I know the idea of an unverified story from the New York Times seems inconsequential to you.
00:13:12.000However, here on the Charlie Kirk show, we have to debunk these stories because as they get so big, if you allow a lie to spread without confronting, defeating, and destroying it, then you are culpable in the spread of that lie.
00:13:25.000And so when a lie gets this big, we have to do this and we have to analyze it.
00:13:29.000So Gina Haspel continued by saying, hostile states' use of proxies in war zones to inflict damage on the United States interests and troops is a constant long-standing concern.
00:13:36.000This central intelligence agency, the CIA, will continue to pursue every single lead, analyze the information we collect with critical, objective eyes, and brief reliable intelligence to protect U.S. forces deployed around the world.
00:13:50.000At least at face value, this looks like another intentional leak of incomplete classified intelligence from an unverified source designed to hurt Trump, designed to hurt the president of the United States.
00:14:01.000The idea that Russia would do this after the bottleneck the Trump administration has, let's say, put on the Russian Federation, I just don't think this is logical in any sense at all whatsoever.
00:14:12.000But look, let's say that it wasn't surprising.
00:14:14.000This doesn't change the fact that the proper channels were followed when it came to the president's daily intel briefings and that this singular piece of intelligence did not rise to the level of presidential action.
00:14:28.000And any dishonest statement from the New York Times, the Washington Post, Congressman Adam Schiff, CNN, or whatever else is just complete and total propaganda misinformation.
00:14:39.000It's designed for the sole purpose to take down President Trump.
00:14:46.000Look, I want to tell you guys about PC Matic.
00:14:48.000PC Matic is a whitelist next-generation antivirus system designed to stop modern threats like ransomware, independent testing, the A-B test.
00:14:57.000Just named PC-Matic as a top performer in the cybersecurity industry, giving it the best performance award for 2019.
00:15:03.000Only PC Matic has American research development and support.
00:15:06.000PC Matic's competition is made in foreign countries like China, many where the viruses originate.
00:15:15.000Don't buy antivirus systems that are made in China.
00:15:19.000PC Matic protects Windows computers, including XP Vista, Windows 7, 8, and 10, Windows servers, Macs, MacBooks, and Android phones, and tablets.
00:15:28.000Again, PC-Matix competition is made in foreign countries, many where the viruses originate.
00:15:33.000PC Matics is $50 for five devices for one year with a full 30-day money-back guarantee.
00:15:38.000And if you act now, PC-Matic has offered my listeners a free month of security protection with the purchase of an annual license.
00:15:44.000To access this offer, go to pcmatic.com/slash Charlie.
00:15:47.000Again, to get world-class security that keeps your computers running great.
00:15:54.000And it's kind of an addition to the story here.
00:15:56.000The president's ongoing effort to remove troops from endless wars, something we've been talking about from the beginning of the show.
00:16:03.000And it's kind of an addition to this story.
00:16:05.000It's tangential and it harmonizes nicely with what we're talking about.
00:16:08.000The House Armed Services Committee voted Wednesday to put roadblocks on President Trump's ability to withdraw from Afghanistan, including requiring, I'm laughing because, I mean, Democrats have always run as anti-war people, and finally, President Trump wants to end a war, and the Democrats just don't want any part of that.
00:16:27.000The National Defense Authorization Act amendment from rep Jason Crowe from Colorado would require several certifications where the United States can further draw down in Afghanistan.
00:16:38.000Let me be perfectly clear with all you guys.
00:16:40.000I think the United States should fully withdraw from Afghanistan.
00:16:43.000I'm a conservative, which means I love my country.
00:16:46.000I love America more than I love Afghanistan.
00:16:48.000And I do not think it is critical to U.S. national security for us to be perpetually occupying a country that's thousands of miles away while we're $26 trillion in debt, while we have 15 schools in inner-city Baltimore where kids simply cannot read, where we have incredible structural problems, 25 million people out of work.
00:17:06.000It's probably actually closer to 20 million people now.
00:17:08.000I don't see any reason why we should be endlessly in Afghanistan.
00:17:14.000I'm not someone who is unwilling to use U.S. force against our enemies.
00:17:18.000What I am unwilling to do is have the endless and perpetual occupation of U.S. forces overseas when there is no clear victory or objective in sight.
00:17:31.000In a previous episode of the Charlie Kirk show, we had Senator Rand Paul where he talked about some of the waste and the abuse in Afghanistan.
00:17:37.000I've played this sound for you before, but we've had so many new subscribers on our show since this interview happened just over a year ago.
00:17:43.000I want to just play a short clip of Senator Rand Paul and I having a conversation.
00:17:48.000This is actually from our Turning Point USA Teenage Student Action Summit last year.
00:18:58.000And so we built them a natural gas gas station.
00:19:00.000They had no cars, so we bought them some cars.
00:19:02.000We bought them 24 cars that run on natural gas.
00:19:05.000We had no money, so we got them a credit card to get the gas.
00:19:08.000But the gas station was supposed to cost about a half a million.
00:19:11.000It ended up costing $45 million because the contractors were ripping us off.
00:19:16.000And by the way, if the last few months have taught us anything, is that we have some pretty important problems here at home.
00:19:22.000And Senator Rand Paul, he's just terrific.
00:19:26.000He's courageous and he fights and he's not afraid to call out nonsense when he sees it.
00:19:31.000As you heard him articulate there, Afghanistan has become an endless dump of taxpayer money.
00:19:39.000Representative Liz Cheney, who is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, who served as Vice President for eight years with George W. Bush.
00:19:48.000I think Liz Cheney is generally right on a lot of issues.
00:20:46.000I'm a patriot constitutional conservative.
00:20:50.000And while I do think that certain U.S. military interventions have been positive, such as the Korean War and World War II, I think some have been very negative, and we should call them out correctly and clearly.
00:21:02.000I look historically and I say that the Vietnam War was a mistake.
00:21:06.000I believe that the Iraq War was a mistake.
00:21:08.000I don't think all U.S. military intervention is by definition incorrect.
00:21:33.000I hope I can convince you otherwise if you continue to listen to the show as to why the United States trying to colonially build a new nation halfway across the world when we already have our own problems does not work, is not moral, and is not in the best interest of our country.
00:21:51.000We've tried this all across the Middle East.
00:21:52.000The more we try to westernize the Middle East, the more failure and the more trillions of dollars we encounter, not to mention the thousands and thousands of lives that are lost.
00:22:01.000I did a very detailed podcast, I think it was probably five or six months ago, where I went through a harsh criticism of the Afghan war.
00:22:08.000In fact, actually, I think it was right near 9-11.
00:22:12.000She says that the amendment lays out in a very responsible way, a level of specificity what is going to be required if we are going to, in fact, make decisions about troop levels based on conditions on the ground and based on what's required for our own security, not based on political timelines.
00:22:27.000The United States has 8,600 troops still in Afghanistan.
00:22:30.000I have also very respectfully debated Congressman Dan Crenshaw on this issue.
00:23:09.000What does success look like in Afghanistan?
00:23:11.000And if your policy position is that we should be there forever, then just say that very clearly.
00:23:16.000If your belief is that we should be in Afghanistan endlessly and in perpetuity, just please have the courage to say that.
00:23:23.000Now, mind you, this is directly connected to the bounty story.
00:23:29.000The New York Times spreads propaganda to hurt President Trump as you see the withdrawal from people in Afghanistan to try to hurt President Trump.
00:23:39.000Trying to stop the withdrawal from Afghanistan to hurt President Trump is a clearer way to say that.
00:23:43.000As with all of the left's games and tactics, they are lying, and the result of that is real Americans who get hurt.
00:23:53.000I think we need a foreign policy that represents the best interests of the middle class of our country.
00:23:57.000I think we need a foreign policy that represents the working class of America.
00:24:02.000And mind you, most of the people that serve in our military, which is a voluntary military, which is incredible, the fact that we have a voluntary military in our country is something that we should applaud and respect and appreciate, that we are able to defend our country without a draft.
00:24:15.000We have not had a draft since post-Vietnam War.
00:24:18.000It's actually something we should be very, very pleased with and thankful for, especially this Independence Day weekend.
00:24:24.000And I always say Independence Day, not July 4th.
00:24:26.000I think July 4th cheapens the significance of the holiday on Independence Day.
00:24:33.000The foreign policy position that the United States should continue to embrace is one that keeps our enemies truly afraid of us, as President Trump has done, but is reluctant to have U.S. boots on the ground to nation build for countries that do not share our values.
00:24:48.000That does not help the betterment or the flourishing of the United States of America.
00:24:52.000Ronald Reagan used to say peace through strength, but also not endless war because we think we're strong.
00:25:03.000Don't get yourself into endless war or dumb wars because you think that's strength.
00:25:10.000Being in endless and perpetual conflict does not make the United States of America more likely to succeed in the future, especially when we have a cultural crisis here at home.
00:25:20.000We have tons of wars right now in America, by the way.
00:25:26.000And by the way, if we somehow are able to win the war in the Kandahar Valley and we lose the culture war in America, so what?
00:25:34.000I did an entire podcast talking about the downfall of Rome, and one of the reasons Rome fell is they overextended their military interventions.
00:25:43.000So I can sort of sympathize with Congresswoman Cheney, I guess, with her intentions.
00:25:50.000She wants what's best for the country.
00:25:51.000She thinks that being in Afghanistan for the next hundred years is a good thing.
00:25:55.000And that if we're there forever, and she calls it fighting terrorists, when honestly, the terrorists are not all there.
00:26:01.000They're in Pakistan and in there in Iran, where we found Osama bin Laden.
00:26:06.000I think it makes a lot more sense to geopolitically strangle these countries than put our incredible troops in harm's way and spend trillions of dollars we simply do not have.
00:26:19.000What's the number one sign of a bad home security system, a home security system that's so complicated, you never use it?

00:27:22.000So speaking of a war we need to win at home, we actually are finally arresting terrorists.
00:27:31.000The federal government has arrested the ringleader in the attack on Andrew Jackson's statue right by the White House.
00:27:37.000Jason Charter seems like a total winner.
00:27:40.000He was arrested at his residence, probably his mother's basement, Thursday morning.
00:27:44.000Federal law enforcement officials on Thursday arrested a man in Washington they called a ringleader in the attempt to destroy the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square near the White House.
00:27:54.000Sources have added that he has ties to Antifa.
00:27:58.000You should look at his bank accounts, find out who's paying him, reverse engineer the entire flow of money, put forth a RICO case, and arrest them all.
00:28:07.000The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI, is also accusing Charter of being the ringleader behind the destruction and the desecration of another statue, the historical Albert Pike statue in Washington earlier in June.
00:28:20.000Now that Antifa is a registered domestic terror organization, we can follow his money, who's funding him, who's behind it.
00:28:26.000And I hope dozens, if not hundreds of people, are arrested very, very soon.
00:28:30.000Charter, the terrorist, can be seen standing over the toppled Pike statue, pouring an unknown liquid onto the statue.
00:28:37.000He is then observed waving others away from the statue and squatting down behind the statue where his hands are not visible.
00:28:43.000Seconds later, the statue catches fire.
00:28:45.000Charter is seen standing over the flames as it burns.
00:28:47.000I got to give credit to Tucker Carlson here.
00:28:49.000Tucker gave a great monologue where he said, find these people, arrest them, and publicly ridicule them.
00:28:55.000And then a couple days later, the president started tweeting out faces of all these people and arrests really started the flow.
00:29:20.000And so now you are going to see public opinion for Donald Trump increase, and you're going to see public opinion for BLM Inc.
00:29:27.000And if you're wondering why I call it BLM Inc., going to previous episode of the Trellie Kirk show called BLM Inc. v. America, I encourage you to check it out.
00:29:33.000Because if you are tough on these terrorists, and that's they are there, domestic terrorists, all of a sudden their support dwindles very quickly.
00:29:42.000It's a lot harder to find self-righteous socialist suburbanites to come out of their basement if they think they're going to be arrested sometime soon.
00:29:50.000All of a sudden, the protest becomes a lot less cool at that point.
00:29:54.000At that moment, the protest becomes a lot less easy to convince your friends to participate in.
00:30:02.000Another incident involving Carter, the terrorist, is believed to be involved in the assault of a reporter who was covering a June 26th protest.
00:30:11.000This was at Lincoln Park in Washington, D.C. Demonstrators were calling for the removal of the statue of Abraham Lincoln, and Jack Pasebik, who we had a podcast on, I think, two or three weeks ago, I encourage you to check it out.
00:30:21.000He was the one that was assaulted, and we've had on our show, and he talked about Antifa.
00:30:26.000So go back in the archives and listen to it.
00:30:28.000Jack Pasebik did file an assault report with the police, so Carter would have to also answer for that charge as well.
00:30:34.000Now, these arrests are coming after the June 24th executive order signed by President Trump, which was intended to protect monuments and statues.
00:30:43.000I just had the privilege of signing a very strong executive order protecting American monuments, memorials, and statues and combating recent criminal violence, long prison terms for these lawless acts against our great country.
00:30:56.000Thank you, Mr. President, for doing this.
00:30:58.000This is so long overdue and critically important.
00:31:01.000If you do not stifle rebellion early, it will blossom, it will grow, it will metastasize, and it will convince people of things that are simply untrue, that our country is backwards, that it is broken, that it is in need of revolution.
00:31:15.000So thank you, Mr. President, for doing this, and we need more.
00:31:19.000Let's line them up one by one and perp walk them.
00:31:25.000Send a signal to the nation of the world that we will not abide by nihilism and anarchy in our country.
00:31:32.000I think it's really important because also the Democrats are going to come to the defense of these people, which will only bring down their numbers and bring up Donald Trump's numbers.
00:31:39.000Because no matter what Donald Trump supports, it seems like the Democrats have to pathologically oppose it.
00:31:44.000We have to honor our monuments, our heroes, presidents, and our great men and women.
00:31:48.000And listen to our sister episode with Governor Christy Noam, America's greatest governor right now.
00:33:53.000As I mentioned, the equestrian statue of Theodore Roosevelt, June 20th, New York City.
00:33:58.000The statue of Thomas Jefferson removed from Hempstead, New York, June 23rd.
00:34:02.000Civil War monument dedicated to the people who fought in the Union Army, the people who fought on the side of the abolition of slavery in Colorado, Denver, Colorado, toppled by protesters.
00:34:53.000The way that Marxist, socialist, centralized planning, authoritarian tyrants are able to take power is by removing any sort of moral referee that came before them.
00:35:04.000Removing anyone that might have had a good idea or did something heroic.
00:35:09.000First of all, how could someone who's a tyrant and an autocrat, how could they possibly share the limelight with someone who existed 300 years ago?
00:35:21.000Don't you see how good of a person I am?
00:35:23.000So, some of it is self-righteous, sanctimonious nonsense.
00:35:27.000And the other part of it is people do not want to honor their history because it might tell them to stop doing what they are doing right now.
00:35:35.000I never thought I'd have to do this, but we're going to do an entire podcast on why history matters and why every single parent should sit down with their kids and methodically go through U.S. history, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the heroic.
00:35:50.000Because the failure to know and appreciate and understand your history, you are destined to repeat it or ignore it and then do something even worse in the future.
00:36:12.000ExpressVPN is the software that I and thousands of my fans use every day to protect our data online.
00:36:19.000In the time since I've started using ExpressVPN, hacking methods have grown even more sophisticated.
00:36:24.000I'm sure many of you are working at home from these days, and without your IT department to protect you from your online threats, it's important that you take action on your own to secure your devices.
00:39:15.000Then the mayor, Durkin, she called what was happening in Chaz a summer of love.
00:39:23.000And she condemned and repudiated anyone who dare say that people that are armed insurrectionists ruling the streets of Seattle, they're doing wonderful things.
00:39:43.000So Seattle's leadership was perfectly content and okay with seven city blocks in downtown Seattle be occupied by armed terrorists and insurrectionists.
00:39:57.000People like myself and Tucker Carlson were incredibly worried that this could become a bloodbath, that innocent lives were going to be lost.
00:40:07.000In fact, we predicted that was what was going to happen.
00:40:10.000The great Benny Johnson from Turning Point USA went to Chaz, and we even had an episode where we reported live from Chaz.
00:40:18.000They went to Chaz and they told us that this was crime waiting to happen.
00:40:22.000And yet our own investigative documentary work that we did at Turning Point USA was more courageous, more honest, and more transparent than anything that the activist media would dare tell you.
00:40:34.000I remember, I'm old enough to remember when Vice News used to actually go into dangerous situations and tell stories that were contrary to the media narrative.
00:40:47.000Now Vice is part of the mainstream narrative in our country.
00:40:53.000And so we were warning greatly and repeatedly that innocent lives were going to be lost.
00:40:59.000So again, Seattle police said they could not clear the area.
00:41:03.000I wonder if his life would have been saved if he had access to emergency medical services.
00:41:10.000I hear all the time, and I reject this entire ritualistic group humiliation practice that we must say their names, like Michael Brown and Ahmad Arberry and George Floyd, Eric Garner, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:41:24.000Well, I have a challenge for BLM Inc. and you syncophants out there and for the people that go to the mega churches that post the black squares that say we can't allow black innocent lives to continue to be taken because of white supremacy in America.
00:41:38.000Well, you social media self-righteous sycophants, especially the upper middle class hip-woke Christian pastors that post your black squares and dare not engage in a meaningful, wise conversation.
00:42:03.000He was a 19-year-old black man who was shot and killed by the very race riots that the American church was largely funding, that BLM Inc. is encouraging, that corporate America is funding.
00:42:16.000And so the old expression is, well, they have blood on their hands.
00:42:31.000BLM Inc. should be sued civilly and held criminally accountable because BLM Inc. was actively involved in the sponsoring and the creation of Chaz.
00:42:42.000In fact, BLM Inc. and their spokespeople thought this was a wonderful thing.
00:42:47.000We exposed this in a variety of different ways when we actually went into Chaz.
00:42:52.000So say his name, Horace Lorenzo Anderson Jr., 19-year-old black man who was shot and killed by the very same riots that BLM Inc. planned and plotted.
00:43:02.000So if black lives matter to BLM Inc., then they would be outraged by this, but they're not.
00:43:08.000And neither are Democrats in Seattle or in Washington State.
00:44:05.000Somebody didn't ask for this, and they need to come talk to me, and somebody need to come tell me something because I still don't know nothing.
00:44:12.000And somebody needs to come to my house and knock on my door and tell me something.
00:44:36.000Everybody, everybody, I can tell you, sir, and Andre, I didn't want to cut you off earlier, but you know, on this show, we've done something.
00:44:47.000We have every weekend hundreds of kids shot, people shot in Chicago, killed every weekend.
00:45:54.000He was never even let in to see his body.
00:45:57.000I thought black lives mattered to Mayor Jenny Durkin.
00:46:01.000My gosh, what's so honestly depressing about this, to just be honest with you guys, and I trust our audience so much, she's not going to be held accountable for this.
00:46:11.000Just Democrats just get away with this stuff.
00:46:21.000And so I hope you use this as an example.
00:46:23.000I encourage you to use this as an example to your friends over the July 4th weekend, Independence Day weekend, where you go to your family and friends that might be leftists, who might be liberals or whatever, and they might support BLM Inc. and say, why is it that BLM Inc. is not actively involved in calling out the fact that seven city blocks were created and a black man dies within those seven city blocks?
00:46:44.000So I want to take some of my show right now to tell you a little bit more about Lorenzo.
00:46:50.000Because just like officers David Dorn and Patrick Underwood, I know that BLM Inc. will not and the activist media will not.
00:46:58.000According to Johnny Jefferson, who is close with Anderson and is the site lead at YEP, an alternative high school for students who have trouble succeeding at neighborhood schools, quote, he came from a part of Seattle where it is tough to survive in those types of conditions, end quote.
00:47:12.000You either go to the wolves or you get eaten.
00:47:14.000Anderson had a lot of trouble finding safe housing.
00:47:17.000He got into trouble, but having difficult things to work through, that's what life is like for almost anybody.
00:47:29.000In a photo of the pair near the space needle last spring, Jefferson swung his arm over Anderson's shoulder while Anderson looked confidently over the camera.
00:47:37.000He really wanted to be loved, Jefferson said.
00:47:39.000Anderson's English language arts teacher, Aaron Berger, ran into him a few weeks ago near a Fred Meyer in Greenwood, and they hugged and they talked.
00:47:47.000He was going to get his diploma this year, Berger said.
00:47:49.000I told him how proud I was for sticking with it, for not giving up.
00:48:58.000But Lorenzo is the one that is resonating the most in the eyes of a nation right now that's trying to figure out what on earth BLM Inc. is, and we know what it is here.
00:49:10.000So in seven city blocks with no police, a black child dies, 19 years old, young man.
00:49:18.000What's going to happen in Minneapolis when they get rid of their police?
00:49:23.000Hundreds, if not thousands, if not tens of thousands of people over the next decade who are black and Hispanic will die.
00:49:33.000More than ever would have happened otherwise.
00:49:37.000Because white suburban leftists who have been told to be guilty for how God made them, for their immutable characteristics, want to feel good, not do good, take the police out of their communities, and black blood will pour in the streets.
00:49:54.000I hate to be that graphic, but that's what's going to happen.
00:49:56.000If we are not successful at defending our police and expanding their funding, not cutting their funding, we are going to see a rapid escalation in black deaths in cities that have already been so disadvantaged.
00:50:10.000That's what happens when the left takes over your cities.
00:50:12.000The left destroys almost everything that they touch.
