00:00:00.000Hey everybody, today in the Charlie Kirk show, two shootings, two different directions.
00:00:04.000We talk about the Indiana shooting and a good Samaritan hero who steps up and how the media slanders and maligns him and more reports out of Uvalde that will make your blood boil.
00:00:16.000As always, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:01:23.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:06.000But I would argue that this is happening because we're allowing it to happen.
00:02:13.000What's happening in our country, the intentional destruction of America, is largely thanks to our own deliberate inaction.
00:02:23.000You see, courage is the most important virtue because without courage, there are no other virtues.
00:02:30.000Moral courage is the most necessary yet absent characteristic in men, George S. Patton would say.
00:02:38.000Courage is a virtue that allows all the other virtues to exist.
00:02:44.000And what we have is two separate stories that involve similar incidents that, in my personal opinion, depict the contrast between mass bureaucratic paralysis and mass formation psychosis and the courage of the everyday American.
00:03:53.000There were nearly 400 officers on the scene as the gunmen massacred children and teachers for 73 minutes.
00:03:58.000There were 149 border patrol agents, 91 state police, 25 Uvalde police, and 16 members of the Uvalde Sheriff's Police, and five members of the school district.
00:04:09.000400 people that stood and largely did nothing for 73 minutes.
00:04:32.000Well, I know we have to do something, but what do we do?
00:04:36.000Remember, fear is a reaction, and courage is a decision.
00:04:42.000You see, the average American, I actually think, is much more courageous than what is being trained and taught to our police officers.
00:04:50.000We could psychoanalyze why it is that 400 people sat idly by while children were massacred one by one.
00:04:58.000We could psychoanalyze that, but instead, I want to contrast the cowardice, the unacceptable behavior, the stand-down order to what we have just witnessed in Indiana.
00:05:12.000Now, this is a story that is going to quickly disappear from the media.
00:05:16.000This is a story the media does not want you to hear about.
00:05:18.000This is a story the media is going to be like, okay, let's move on.
00:05:22.000But the way the media covered this story is extraordinary in addition to what actually happened.
00:05:28.000In a suburb of Indianapolis yesterday, a gunman goes into the mall with the intent to mass murder.
00:05:35.000Unfortunately, the gunman killed three people.
00:05:38.000But an unexpected development occurred.
00:05:41.000An armed, good Samaritan, 22-year-old young man confronted him and killed him and neutralized the shooter.
00:05:53.000That average American at the mall in Indianapolis had more courage than those 400 police officers in Uvalde.
00:06:52.000But I'm going to tell you, the real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began.
00:08:36.000Front page of the New York Times, Mockie Pock, monkeypox.
00:08:40.000For monkeypox patients, pain is brutal and care is lacking.
00:08:44.000Front page of the Wall Street Journal.
00:08:47.000Zelensky removes prosecutor, security chief in shakeup.
00:08:52.000Wall Street Journal and New York Times isn't talking about how a good Samaritan saved lives.
00:08:57.000Wouldn't it be proper and appropriate to celebrate the good Samaritan who stopped a mass shooting just as much as we attack the 400 police officers and law enforcement officials that stood and did nothing?
00:09:12.000You see, this is why I got so fired up with the Uvalde thing, and you did too, is because we are better than this.
00:09:17.000The average American is actually rather courageous.
00:09:20.000The average American stormed Normandy Beach.
00:09:41.000You see, without courage, there is no other virtue.
00:09:47.000Without courage, you do not have a decent or stable or peaceful or civil society.
00:09:54.000And we have more and more pictures, more and more images of what's coming out of Uvalde based on this new report of people just kind of sitting around trying to negotiate with the shooter.
00:10:09.000The guy at the mall, he didn't negotiate.
00:10:13.000He neutralized the bad guy, and he's a hero.

00:11:43.000Isn't it amazing how the media doesn't cover this?
00:11:46.000The national media, they're too busy worrying about Ukraine or worrying about gun control or this other story we're going to hit: um, how biological mail Thomas nominated for woman of the year.
00:12:03.000But this Indiana man, this is an amazing story, and this is what America is really made of, not those Uvalde cowards.
00:12:10.000Nick Bostick of Lafayette was driving by on his way home when he saw flames coming out of a home around 12:30 in the morning.
00:12:19.000I saw the fire on the balcony, so I slammed on the brakes, pulled in the driveway, ran into the house from the back, and I was hollering, quote, Is anybody there?
00:12:27.000This random person, Bostik, rushed into the burning home and saw four people.
00:12:34.000He helped them get to safety right away, but was then told one of the children was still missing.
00:12:40.000This random Good Samaritan then rushes back into the home, only to be confronted with growing flames and thick black smoke.
00:12:48.000The smoke came out of nowhere, it was pitch picks black.
00:13:11.000Dramatic body camera footage from a police officer shows the moment Bostick emerged from the home with the six-year-old child.
00:13:19.000Bostick suffered cuts, burns, and blisters on legs and his arm.
00:13:22.000He was shooted at a hospital after several days.
00:13:24.000He was treated at a hospital on Wednesday after several days of treatment.
00:13:27.000Waking up every morning, I have something to remind me of why I'm here, still alive, why God keeps me here.
00:13:32.000He used me like his instrument that night.
00:13:36.000All five family members of the house were uninjured.
00:13:39.000Bostic 25 said he doesn't consider himself the hero.
00:13:42.000He's just an ordinary person who did what he had to do.
00:13:46.000Quote, if it were me up there trapped or asleep and there was a fire, I'd be hoping that the guy driving would consider doing the same if they were able to.
00:13:55.000Lieutenant Scher said, This is Indiana again.
00:13:57.000Indiana's producing some pretty amazing patriots.
00:14:00.000Quote, his selfishness during this incident is inspiring, and he's impressed many with his courage, tenacity, steadfastness, and calmness in the face of such perilous danger.
00:14:12.000And then you contrast that with Uvalde, where they are running from the conflict.
00:14:20.000In fact, we have new tape now that shows the police officers trying to negotiate with the gunman.
00:17:00.000Look, there's a must-see movie you got to check out at salemnow.com called Michelle Obama 2024, her real life story and her plan for power.
00:17:10.000Film director Joel Gilbert, I know Joel, great American, takes a deep dive into the life of Michelle Obama from Chicago to Princeton to Martha's Vineyard.
00:17:18.000He says Michelle Obama will run for president in 2024 and base her candidacy on a life story that is more racially divisive and nearly as fictitious as that of her husband, Barack Hussein.
00:17:29.000Check out the stunning new movie on Salem Now, Michelle Obama 2024.
00:17:33.000Michelle is following the same formula as Barack to become president, a best-selling autobiography, the keynote convention speaker, and a voter registration organization.
00:17:42.000First, Barack and now Michelle want to transform America.
00:17:46.000Michelle Obama, 2024, now playing at SalemNow.com.
00:17:50.000This new movie has stunning, game-changing revelations about Michelle Obama's past.
00:17:54.000The film director says only the truth can stop her.
00:17:57.000Michelle Obama, 2024, watch the movie on demand or buy the DVD on salemnow.com.
00:18:06.000Good Samaritan with a gun stopped Greenwood Park Mall shooting, went against Maul's code of conduct.
00:18:12.000Why does Fox 59 have to put that in there?
00:18:15.000Because they have to make it seem as though even though he's a hero who saved lives, he's a rule breaker.
00:18:21.000You see, instead of writing magnanimously about this shooter, wow, he had the courage to do it.
00:18:29.000Now, this is why people are less likely to act this way.
00:19:16.000The way the media covers this, and they rewrote it in the headline, it's still the same online because they're getting such backlash, but it's still the same essence.
00:19:40.000Where are we at as a country where the media and the bureaucracies, as soon as a person does something right, they have to tear that person down?
00:19:48.000And that goes to show, that's just a deeper cancer in our society of no matter who succeeds, for what reason, we have to try to find something wrong with that person, that organization, that company, and to try to destroy them.
00:20:34.00022-year-old who's carrying a gun and took him out.
00:20:40.000Violent crime is on the rise in America.
00:20:42.000These mass shootings, I don't know if they're going up in general or not.
00:20:45.000It sure feels like they're going up based on media coverage, but I've learned my lesson not to be tricked by that.
00:20:51.000It depends how you define a mass shooting.
00:20:54.000They're definitely going up in places like Chicago and Detroit and gang-related neighborhoods.
00:20:58.000But I could say this: if you go grocery shopping, if you go anywhere public and it says no gun zone, unless it's a state law and it's just some sort of preference of that department store, I'm going to not follow it and you should neither.
00:22:50.000Yeah, what does the mall's code of conduct say for mass shooting?
00:22:55.000You understand how sick and demented and perverse our society is, where an editor at Fox 59 in Indianapolis can get away with something like this?
00:24:18.000A regular citizen stands his ground and saves lives.
00:24:23.000And how does Fox 59 in Indianapolis cover it?
00:24:27.000Quote, while police are crediting a man for shooting and killing a suspect, mall policy states he should not have been caring to begin with.
00:24:37.000That's the first sentence in the article.
00:24:42.000Greenwood police chief James Eisen confirmed Sunday that the shooter was shot and killed by a man visiting the mall.
00:24:49.000The Good Samaritan, as police called him, was armed with a handgun.
00:24:54.000Police say the 22-year-old had a legal gun permit.
00:24:57.000However, according to mall policy, the media writes, the man should not have been carrying his handgun in the mall in the first place.
00:25:06.000Last updated in April of 2020, the Simon Property Group, whoever they are, states in their code of conduct that no weapons are allowed at their shopping centers.
00:25:15.000Group is the owner of the Greenwood Park Mall.
00:25:21.000The property group had worked with Greenwood Police for several planned security technology updates after recent incidents at the mall, including two incidents where employees were held at gunpoint in the parking lot.
00:25:31.000These upgrades include license plate readers installed at mall entrances.
00:25:39.000This is by Nexstar, a bunch of con men.
00:25:42.000I mean, how dare they write an article like this, suppressing and suffocating the spirit of courage instead of celebrating this person that they could have been making fun of the like, well, despite the mall's code of conduct, thankfully, no, no, thankfully, no, gladly, no, instead, they are writing an article as if the gunman should not have been carrying a gun.
00:28:08.000It breaks down the failures into three categories, really.
00:28:12.000The family of the shooter being unable to recognize warning signs of his behavior and his desire to get guns and acquire an arsenal.
00:28:20.000A school district that didn't stick to its active shooter protection plan and did not keep doors locked and follow through on school plans.
00:28:28.000And also, local police that didn't adhere to their active shooter training, which mandates immediate confrontation with the shooter by any and all officers at the scene.
00:28:38.000We learned today that a total of 376 officers were here at the scene that day.
00:28:44.000The report criticized the lack of urgency to take down the gunman.
00:28:48.000Lack of urgency to take down the gunman, but a random everyday citizen, 22-year-old, 22-year-old in Indianapolis, saw a shooter and he could have ran away.
00:28:58.000The 22-year-old at the mall owned by Simon Properties Group, he could have gone the other direction.
00:30:25.000One person I want to say, and I want to make sure I do mention this, Ben said, Charlie, you didn't mention that the Uvalde mother who defied cowardly police to run in and rescue her two children.
00:32:33.000And what saddens me is that what happened in Uvalde, it wasn't just a federal government thing.
00:32:39.000Yeah, there was some border patrol there, but I don't trust the local government.
00:32:43.000And until I start to get evidence to build up my confidence in these entities or these organizations, then I'm going to have to think differently.
00:32:54.000But this is why the parents' party is so important.
00:33:01.000You should also trust your preparedness.
00:33:03.000Are you physically and mentally prepared for what might happen next?
00:33:08.000If society starts to unravel, what are you going to do if you're walking through a mall or if you're in church and God forbid a shooter walks to the door?
00:33:17.000Are you going to hope that the sticker does the work or are you going to be armed to do something about it?
00:33:22.000What happens if all of a sudden BA.5 comes ravaging through your community?
00:33:26.000Are you going to look to Anthony Fauci for the next booster shot?
00:33:28.000Or are you going to learn about interventions that might be able to help you if BA.5 comes into your community?
00:33:36.000You see, they want you to be scared, fearful, and disempowered.
00:33:39.000If there's anything we learned in the last couple of years, it's unfortunately the government is not there to help you.
