00:02:55.000 So let's listen to this right here.

00:02:57.000 Again, if you want to hear the entire conversation, you just subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast.

00:03:01.000 Where are we at here?

00:03:02.000 Oh, yeah.

00:03:03.000 Caught 24, a couple minutes of Kyle and I chatting back and forth.

00:03:07.000 And I just want to say this: that Kyle Rittenhouse was supposed to be in jail if the state had their way with a motivated prosecution, which an activist press trying to destroy him and crush him.

00:03:24.000 Why?

00:03:24.000 Why is it that a teenager from the suburbs of Chicago represented such a threat to the American ruling class?

00:03:33.000 And the answer was, of course, this was not about him.

00:03:36.000 This is about self-defense, about due process, about the rule of law, about all the themes we've seen across the country found its way into a courtroom with an 18-year-old, Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:03:47.000 Play Cup 24.

00:03:48.000 Kyle, what point did you realize that this was more than just about your future?

00:03:52.000 Or maybe that was always your focus and you didn't care about the rest.

00:03:54.000 And like, oh, I'm now kind of a figurehead for multiple different movements over prosecution, self-defense.

00:04:03.000 When did that kind of set in?

00:04:05.000 Well, when I first realized it was probably in December of 2020 when I realized, okay, this is getting pretty big.

00:04:11.000 All these media personalities are talking about it and all the people who don't agree with me or agree with the right to self-defense are making up these things, such as Annika Spear.

00:04:23.000 And she wasn't alone.

00:04:24.000 And so it must have been so frustrating because Kyle, you knew this and you were going through social media.

00:04:30.000 It was unavoidable.

00:04:31.000 You were on trial in two different courts.

00:04:33.000 The Court of Public Opinion, which thank God, I had people around me helping defend my character, such as my attorneys, Dave.

00:04:43.000 Jack.

00:04:44.000 Jack, thank you so much.

00:04:45.000 There's tons of them all over the Twitter.

00:04:47.000 I mean, you know, everywhere.

00:04:49.000 I may have been one of the loudest voices or louder voices out there, but there were so many people.

00:04:55.000 And I, I mean, I wish maybe, you know, someday if I get a chance, you know, I could show you so many people are emailing me and messaging me.

00:05:03.000 Can you get a message to Kyle?

00:05:05.000 Tell him we're praying for him.

00:05:07.000 I had a son was in a similar thing and like all these different stories and just complete outpouring of support because I think a lot of people looked at it as a situation of, and, you know, I said this too, they, you know, people were saying, oh, should he shouldn't have been there, right?

00:05:24.000 But the actual answer is that none of them should have been there.

00:05:27.000 None of the rioters should have been there.

00:05:29.000 The mob shouldn't have been there, right?

00:05:31.000 We should have safety in our communities.

00:05:34.000 This great little town of Kenosha that it was so nice to be able to go visit should never have to experience that and nobody should because our government should be the one that's actually protecting people.

00:05:48.000 And so you had these two courts and obviously you were most focused about, I don't know, like I'll win the court of public opinion later.

00:05:54.000 Yep.

00:05:55.000 Were you ever worried, though?

00:05:57.000 Do you ever have the paranoia thought like, man, is this jury really not watching the news?

00:06:03.000 Is this, you know what I'm talking about?

00:06:05.000 Look, it's unavoidable, this case.

00:06:09.000 They definitely probably saw some of this stuff.

00:06:12.000 Some of them probably watched it.

00:06:14.000 I hope some of them probably turned it off, but I guarantee one or two of them definitely were watching the news journey.

00:06:21.000 Every single jury person said that they had consumed media at the beginning of this.

00:06:27.000 So it's impossible not to.

00:06:30.000 And it was the fear that we had, Kyle, is that there was this fear of jury intimidation, which we have some tape to play on.

00:06:37.000 I think it's MSNBC.

00:06:39.000 That's right.

00:06:41.000 Not a fan.

00:06:42.000 Neither am I. Good.

00:06:44.000 We have that in common.

00:06:45.000 But you had a sense of, you know, there's this media out there.

00:06:48.000 They report things.

00:06:51.000 You know, did you have, you know, just kind of glance at a headline and then...

00:06:55.000 Our best friend Twitter.

00:06:56.000 You know, glance at Twitter and then move on to the next thing.

00:06:59.000 Right.

00:06:59.000 So how do you feel about him now?

00:07:02.000 I think a lot of people are trying to save their assets right now, what it seems like.

00:07:06.000 You see a lot of different headlines come out.

00:07:09.000 So you're speaking in terms of the defamation, potential claims that might come out?

00:07:15.000 Like I see like headlines, like people are just like changing up their stories.

00:07:19.000 Like which one was it?

00:07:21.000 I think CNN.

00:07:22.000 I mean, it was, come on.

00:07:24.000 Everybody has Google, right?

00:07:26.000 He didn't cross state lines with a gun.

00:07:29.000 I mean, that was still being reported.

00:07:31.000 That's still being reported now.

00:07:32.000 People still believe that.

00:07:34.000 And that's one of the problems with the media was they just perpetuated this absolutely completely false narrative and they kept it going.

00:07:44.000 Even after trial, when all the truth came out, they still kept it going.

00:07:49.000 And I think that's probably the worst part about it.

00:07:52.000 Well, it's crossing state lines.

00:07:53.000 It's like Illinois to Wisconsin.

00:07:55.000 You do that every day. 0.99

00:07:56.000 It's like ridiculous. 0.99

00:07:56.000 Wisconsin. 0.99

00:07:57.000 You don't even realize you crossed.

00:07:59.000 Seriously.

00:07:59.000 My backyard was in Wisconsin.

00:08:01.000 So you cross half-stay road and you're there.

00:08:04.000 Exactly.

00:08:04.000 You're in there.

00:08:05.000 I did it probably 300 times in my life.

00:08:07.000 And there's nothing on the ground.

00:08:08.000 There's no towers.

00:08:08.000 There's nothing to say, oh my gosh, it crossed.

00:08:11.000 It's not even a way.

00:08:12.000 Do you know what?

00:08:12.000 This goes to show that this is a very important point.

00:08:14.000 The Northeast bias of the news media, because when you cross from New York to New Jersey, you go through a tunnel or you go through a bridge or go over a bridge, right?

00:08:23.000 You really can't go from New York to New Jersey.

00:08:25.000 I'm trying to think, at least in Manhattan, yeah, unless going through a tunnel or a bridge.

00:08:29.000 Like in the Midwest, you have to go into Wisconsin, you're like, wait, I just crossed state lines?

00:08:33.000 Like, you don't even know.

00:08:34.000 But who cares?

00:08:34.000 What's the big difference?

00:08:35.000 He crossed state lines.

00:08:37.000 That's right.

00:08:38.000 They keep on repeating that.

00:08:39.000 I think the reason they're trying to do that is for future gun laws.

00:08:43.000 And also, they're trying to provoke a federal probe.

00:08:47.000 And so, what do you think about that?

00:08:50.000 I mean, can I just please?

00:08:53.000 The chairman of the House.

00:08:55.000 Jerry Nadler.

00:08:56.000 Yeah.

00:08:56.000 I mean, come on.

00:08:58.000 You're the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and you literally tweet that he crossed state lines.

00:09:06.000 And so now there's some sort of federal jurisdiction.

00:09:10.000 Come on, you're the chairman, you're a congressman, and you can't get that right.

00:09:17.000 So, do you believe it's a situation where they want only the government to have that kind of monopoly on violence to be able to use guns so that it essentially eviscerates the Second Amendment?

00:09:32.000 Well, I think that's getting into the weeds on the issue, besides the fact that I believe from the very start that it has always been about the gun.

00:09:44.000 It wasn't about the right of self-defense, which it became about because that's what it was about.

00:09:50.000 Period.

00:09:51.000 And Finger even mentions this at the trial.

00:09:52.000 He said, Why did you choose the AR?

00:09:54.000 Why did you choose the AR?

00:09:56.000 Because, and I was like, and then he tried correcting me on the law.

00:10:00.000 I'm like, because that was the only gun that I was legally allowed to have.

00:10:02.000 And he was like, actually, no, this is what the law says.

00:10:05.000 I'm like, no, that's all you're reading it wrong, man.

00:10:09.000 You guys can hear the entire conversation at the Charlie Kirk Show podcast.

00:10:13.000 That'll be dropping at 5 Eastern.

00:10:15.000 And Jack Pasobic was co-piloting with us there.

00:10:18.000 And also, that was Dave Hancock, family spokesperson for the Rittenhouse family that was alongside of him.

00:10:28.000 I want to tell you guys about Good Ranchers.

00:10:31.000 Okay.

00:10:31.000 You've heard me talk about it a lot.

00:10:32.000 Look, Good Ranchers, they achieve the trifecta.

00:10:35.000 The trifecta is very simple.

00:10:37.000 One, everyone has to eat.

00:10:39.000 Two, you love the country.

00:10:40.000 Three, you want to support the Charlie Kirk show.

00:10:42.000 So Good Ranchers, they send you boxes of meat.

00:10:45.000 When we get a box of meat from Good Ranchers, it's bedlam.

00:10:48.000 People fight over the meat.

00:10:52.000 It is the closest thing to Christmas morning I've ever seen with adults.

00:10:56.000 And Good Ranchers has a limited time offer for all of our listeners: 10 free bistro fillets when you enter promo code Charlie at checkout.

00:11:03.000 If you go to goodranchers.com/slash Charlie right now, this is a $100 value free with promo code Charlie.

00:11:10.000 I want you to imagine over 100,000 Americans losing their jobs.

00:11:13.000 So you could stop imagining because it's a reality.

00:11:15.000 Since 2015, over 100,000 independent farms and ranches in the United States have shut down.

00:11:21.000 Why?

00:11:21.000 Because foreign meat is stealing their business and robbing you the quality and flavor you deserve.

00:11:26.000 That's why Good Ranchers is here. 0.93

00:11:27.000 They exist to support local American farms to help you make great American meals.

00:11:31.000 Together, they want to restore the American ranch and your meals to their former glory.

00:11:35.000 Get the beef, chicken, and seafood that can't be imported or matched at goodranchers.com.

00:11:40.000 Did you know the product made in the USA has been stolen by foreign countries or products of the USA?

00:11:45.000 They process their meat here and then they fraudulently label it as if it came here from America.

00:11:51.000 Good Ranchers is here to put America first at the dinner table and the farmers that work to raise the meat we eat.

00:11:56.000 So do me a favor: get a box of Good Ranchers.

00:12:41.000 What is racism?

00:12:43.000 Is racism one person of one race discriminating and having prejudice against another based solely on the color of their skin?

00:12:50.000 Or is racism a power struggle?

00:12:53.000 Is racism only possible by certain skin colors?

00:12:56.000 Our entire national discourse is hyper-focused on race, unnecessarily so.

00:13:02.000 We have a supply and demand problem with race in America. 0.87

00:13:05.000 We have an incredible demand to try to find that racism is around every corner, yet there's such a low supply that we try to find racism where it doesn't exist and actually ignore it where it does legitimately exist.

00:13:17.000 For example, we call people like Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist racist, not we, but the media does, based solely on the color of his skin and stereotyping.

00:13:26.000 You see, racism is rooted in this belief of generalizing all into one.

00:13:34.000 Generalizing a group into one sentence.

00:13:39.000 No capacity for nuance, individuality, consciousness, reason.

00:13:46.000 We would call this tribal politics.

00:13:48.000 That would be one way to describe it.

00:13:51.000 Now, you must understand, prior to the creation of the West or prior to the creation of the idea of a citizen, tribes is really the only way that human beings knew how to do government.

00:14:01.000 It's where you were from.

00:14:03.000 It's your ancestral tradition.

00:14:05.000 And the easiest, and dare I say, sloppiest way to organize those types of forms of government is like, who looks like me?

00:14:12.000 All right, you got the similar jersey as I do.

00:14:14.000 We're on the same page.

00:14:15.000 Now, that did not get rid of conflict.

00:14:17.000 This is a very important point.

00:14:19.000 Because in some ways, the anti-racists, who are actually the racists and the bigots, they say that if we all just had people that were alike, that would get rid of most of the conflicts.

00:14:33.000 Well, then, why did Mao kill his own people?

00:14:36.000 Why was there the Rwandan genocide?

00:14:39.000 Why did Stalin kill his own people?

00:14:42.000 Why did the Aztecs sacrifice hundreds of thousands of children of their own people?

00:14:46.000 This idea that if you're all homogeneous, that necessarily makes conflict go away is insane.

00:14:53.000 There's no historical precedent for that whatsoever.

00:14:56.000 Now, racism is something that I'm exhausted talking about, quite honestly.

00:15:02.000 But I've said this openly, and I'll say this again: that a white person can be racist against a black person, and a black person can be racist against a white person.

00:15:11.000 It's obvious. 0.74

00:15:12.000 But the conventional orthodoxy that dominates public opinion, that dominates Ibram X. Kendi and Maya D'Anno, not Maya D'Angelo, Robin D'Angelo, and Harry Rogers and Tahanisi Coates is black people cannot be racist.

00:15:32.000 So there is a, there's this Twitter group, and we don't know if they were, I don't think they were joking, right, Andrew?

00:15:39.000 They seem to be very serious.

00:15:42.000 And I don't know, we don't know who these people are.

00:15:45.000 We don't know if they were trying to provoke attention, but just the fact that this is being said on social media, and of course, ignored by the activist press is cause for publicity.

00:15:59.000 Cut 31. 0.94

00:16:00.000 Black supremacist Twitter calls for a white genocide and total erasure of the white race. 0.99

00:16:06.000 Cut 31. 1.00

00:16:08.000 I am for the white genocide. 1.00

00:16:10.000 I am for the total erasure of the white race. 1.00

00:16:13.000 You don't have to top this up. 1.00

00:16:14.000 Yes, I am for all of you white dying like flies. 1.00

00:16:18.000 I am for it. 0.99

00:16:19.000 I am for it.

00:16:20.000 I support it. 1.00

00:16:21.000 I'm for putting all you white postins in a gas chamber. 1.00

00:16:25.000 I said it and I stand on it. 0.99

00:16:28.000 Simple. 0.97

00:16:28.000 Still trying to find out who that person is, putting all white people in a gas chamber. 0.97

00:16:33.000 Gets a perfect pass from Mark Lamont Hill, who came out and said, look, black people can't be racist. 0.99

00:16:40.000 Only white people can be racist. 0.98

00:16:42.000 You see, they believe racism is a power struggle, that white people are necessarily in charge and control, which is insane. 0.98

00:16:51.000 It's not true. 0.61

00:16:52.000 There's twice as many white people in poverty than black people in poverty.

00:16:56.000 It's a fact.

00:16:58.000 But they want to generalize the American experience.

00:17:02.000 They want to generalize American demography in saying that black people are on the bottom, white people are on top.

00:17:10.000 And where does that lead? 0.99

00:17:13.000 Well, it leads with certain activists saying that we want to put white people in gas chambers. 0.99

00:17:17.000 The total erasure of the white race. 0.99

00:17:21.000 I'm just waiting for anyone to denounce this, obviously, on the left.

00:17:25.000 Could you imagine if this happened on a Twitter space for white people?

00:17:31.000 Everyone would rightfully be rejecting it and denouncing it.

00:17:34.000 It would be on CNN, right, Connor?

00:17:36.000 Right there.

00:17:36.000 It'd be on CNN.

00:17:38.000 We'd already know this person's identity.

00:17:40.000 BuzzFeed would be at the front lawn.

00:17:42.000 What is racism?

00:17:44.000 Racism is not a power struggle.

00:17:46.000 Racism is not capitalism.

00:17:49.000 Racism is not colonialism.

00:17:51.000 It's individual hatred or resentment of one race against the other. 0.98

00:17:56.000 Oh, you mean like trying to say white people should go into gas chambers?

00:18:01.000 This language doesn't stop. 0.81

00:18:02.000 It's going to go a place that none of us want it to go.

00:18:07.000 We are tumbling in a very treacherous direction.

00:18:10.000 I pray it stops.

00:18:14.000 Internet privacy is extremely important.

00:18:16.000 New news out shows that Google has been colluding with the federal government to hand over your data if you might have searched something wrong into the search bar.

00:18:27.000 So what are you doing to protect your search history?

00:18:30.000 Well, this is why you need ExpressVPN.

00:18:33.000 Using the internet without ExpressVPN is like going to the bathroom and not closing the door.

00:18:39.000 It's in fact even worse than that.

00:18:40.000 It's inviting someone into the bathroom, which is really weird and creepy.

00:18:43.000 Internet service providers know every single website you visit.

00:18:47.000 ISPs can sell this data and information to ad companies and tech giants who then use your data to target you.

00:18:54.000 Express VPN creates a secure, encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet.

00:19:00.000 So your online activity cannot be seen by anyone.

00:19:03.000 It's as easy as closing the bathroom door and fire up the app and click one button.

00:19:07.000 I use it on all my devices.

00:19:09.000 Every device, I have those beautiful three letters, VPN with rectangle around it.

00:19:14.000 It's rated number one by CNET and tech radar.

00:19:18.000 Here's the cool thing.

00:19:19.000 It works on phones, laptops, and even routers.

00:19:22.000 So everyone who shares your Wi-Fi can be protected.

00:19:26.000 Here's the thing.

00:19:27.000 I have it on my iPhone.

00:19:28.000 I have it on my iPad.

00:19:30.000 I have it on my computer.

00:19:31.000 Express VPN for me has been a game changer to be able to know that the tech companies or the government, they have to go through a whole nother barrier to try to spy on us.

00:19:43.000 We see with the new announcements out of DC.

00:19:45.000 If you spoke at a school board meeting lately, you better get a VPN.

00:19:48.000 Secure your online activity by visiting expressvpn.com/slash Charlie today.

00:19:53.000 That's expressvpn.com/slash Charlie.

00:19:57.000 It's extremely important to anonymize your online activity.

00:20:02.000 Expressvpn.com/slash Charlie.

00:20:08.000 So, as I spent some time with Kyle, I realize more and more that this is a young man who got abruptly thrown into this situation without ever asking for it.

00:20:24.000 And it really was a question about the rule of law.

00:20:28.000 It was a question of whether or not we are going to have a system that allows the presumption of innocence, checks and balances, that allows due process to have proper and complete representation.

00:20:47.000 The Constitution is the greatest political document ever written because it recognizes that people in the state of nature are deserving of the right to speak and defend themselves against a potentially aggressive prosecutorial state.

00:21:08.000 You see, the state being a potential weapon and a potential, let's say, tool of the collectivists and of the ruling class structure before us, it's incredibly important that we have a system.

00:21:30.000 And Judge Schroeder was definitely one of the, you know, most of the best examples of this, that slows that process down.

00:21:40.000 If you are going to deprive somebody of their rights, if you are going to take someone's rights away, you must go through a process that is checked and balanced.

00:21:56.000 You see, one of the things that I think people are missing about the Kyle Rittenhouse drama is that it was an ultimate bottom-up type conclusion.

00:22:12.000 It's very obvious, but the Rittenhouse verdict is another example of how the Constitution gives power to we the people via a jury.

00:22:25.000 It's another example of the grassroots bottom-up, just like school boards, audits, and state board elections.

00:22:31.000 You see, the reason why Kyle Rittenhouse is free and was able to have In-N-Out Burger with us yesterday, a lot of In-N Out Burger, by the way.

00:22:38.000 We love In N Out Burger here at the Charlie Kirk show and at Turning Point USA.

00:22:43.000 Good Christians that own In-N Out Burger. 1.00

00:22:45.000 The reason why we were able to do that is because the check against Binger, against Lunchbox, against Joy Reed, against the Department of Justice or whatever is you.

00:22:57.000 Now, it's not foolproof.

00:22:59.000 You can stack a jury, you can rig it in a county that's very biased, but it does make it harder for the people that wish to see Kyle Rittenhouse in solitary confinement with handcuffs and behind bars to be permanently there.

00:23:19.000 I think that's a component of the Rittenhouse saga that was missed on most people.

00:23:24.000 Most people were just focused simply on he defended himself, he shouldn't go to jail.

00:23:28.000 You're right.

00:23:30.000 But if the state got everything they wanted, then he would be in without that process, that due process.

00:23:38.000 Now, here's the important point, though.

00:23:39.000 I want to contrast the Rittenhouse process, which was strictly constitutional.

00:23:45.000 It was an aggressive prosecution, but the prosecution couldn't say, okay, you're going to jail.

00:23:51.000 Here's your notice.

00:23:52.000 It's like, oh, no, no.

00:23:53.000 You have representation.

00:23:54.000 You have a lawyer.

00:23:56.000 You have to go in front of a judge, in front of a jury.

00:23:58.000 Contrast that with what we are seeing the fourth branch of government do via Anthony Fauci, via the CDC, via the FDA, where you have, or even what you're seeing with public education or what's happening with the military, there is no citizen-led jury that's all of a sudden to say, Fauci, you're out of line.

00:24:21.000 Stop it.

00:24:23.000 Where's the citizen-led jury that goes and votes and says, you know what?

00:24:28.000 We're not going to vaccinate people against their will.

00:24:31.000 You see, the founders thought they put that into place via a permanent check and balance of the legislature.

00:24:42.000 The problem with the legislature is that it stopped being a citizen-led legislature when we decided to get and implement the direct election of senators in the 17th Amendment and stopped being in a true check and balance from the state on the federal government.

00:25:00.000 You see, our system is unlike any other country's.

00:25:03.000 So I'm going to play Cut 23, Kyle Rittenhouse, but I want you to think about this.

00:25:08.000 The same sort of energy of parents showing up at school board meetings, of audits, of we the people rising up.

00:25:16.000 Kyle Rittenhouse had one last opportunity to be free, and it was his fellow countrymen.

00:25:23.000 It was the fellow citizen, and they made the right choice.

00:25:26.000 Play Cut 23.

00:25:28.000 While growing up, my mom was a single mother working as a CNA at a nursing home, helping old people, and inspired me to start helping people wanting to go to nursing school, becoming a lifeguard, becoming a firefighter EMT cadet and a police explorer.

00:25:42.000 Growing up, what did you want to be when you got older?

00:25:46.000 Growing up, I wanted to be a police officer, to be able to help people and help people when they're having bad days because cops see people on their worst days.

00:25:56.000 Now, Arizona State University is kind of dancing around whether or not they want to have Kyle Rittenhouse attend their college.

00:26:05.000 Kyle, I could tell you this.

00:26:08.000 There's one college that I think that would welcome you with open arms.

00:26:12.000 And that college is Hillsdale College.

00:26:14.000 As we celebrate the Christmas season, let me just say this.

00:26:17.000 You know why I love Hillsdale?

00:26:19.000 Hillsdale sends us these little talking points to talk about them.

00:26:21.000 We partner with Hillsdale.

00:26:23.000 They put Christmas, they're the only partner that puts Christmas in their script.

00:26:28.000 All these other corporate partners, it's holiday season.

00:26:30.000 It's all this drives me crazy.

00:26:32.000 This is how I love Hillsdale.

00:26:33.000 They put Christmas in their script.

00:26:36.000 As we celebrate the Christmas season, we often pause to consider our many blessings.

00:26:40.000 Hillsdale College wishes to thank you for standing with them as they celebrate 177 years of blessings.

00:26:47.000 Since 1844, Hillsdale has held fast to their mission to provide the kind of education essential to providing free government.

00:26:55.000 And for decades, the college has extended its educational mission on behalf of liberty through a variety of outreach programs.

00:27:02.000 Perhaps you've received Imprimus for free every month or have taken one of the Hillsdale's excellent free online courses or have attended one of Hillsdale's free regional events.

00:27:11.000 Hillsdale's online courses are amazing, everybody.

00:27:14.000 I am right now almost done with Victor Davis Hansen's The Dying of the American Citizen.

00:27:20.000 Highly recommended.

00:27:21.000 It's charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:27:23.000 You know of Hillsdale's refusal to take any money from the government.

00:27:28.000 This independence allows the college, which in Greek means partnership, to focus on promoting its core purpose, learning, character, which means tattoo, imprint, faith, and freedom without government interference.

00:27:43.000 At no time in our nation's history has there been a greater need for the kind of classical liberal arts education that Hillsdale offers on its campus and nationwide.

00:27:53.000 So during this season of blessing, Hillsdale thanks you for their partnership in extending its mission to the country.

00:28:01.000 Check out Hillsdale College, All Things Hillsdale, take their online courses, learn about your country.

00:28:06.000 It's charlie4hillsdale.com, all free of charge.

00:28:14.000 Portions of the Charlie Kirk show are proudly brought to you in part by the Beacon of North, Hillsdale College.

00:28:20.000 Okay, speaking of kind of this whole issue of what is racism, how do we define it?

00:28:32.000 The remarkable silence regarding the Waukesha incident is something that we just have to keep on repeating.

00:28:42.000 Six innocents were slaughtered at a Christmas parade by a black supremacist. 0.63

00:28:49.000 Dancing grannies, an eight-year-old boy, people singing and cheering at a Christmas parade were all mown down.

00:28:56.000 Six killed and 62 injured in what police are rightly treating as an act of intentional homicide.

00:29:05.000 That is mass murder.

00:29:08.000 But here's a question: Where's been all the posts from all the Hollywood stars?

00:29:12.000 Where's been the fundraisers?

00:29:14.000 Where's been the moments of silence?

00:29:16.000 Here's a thought crime for you. 0.75

00:29:19.000 More people died at the hands of a black supremacist at a Christmas parade than on January 6th.

00:29:25.000 Three times more people died, and it was murder, not self-defense, in Waukesha than Kenosha with Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:29:33.000 But you see, the media tries to form a mosaic.

00:29:39.000 So, you guys have all seen a mosaic before?

00:29:42.000 So, a mosaic is little pieces of tile that are all kind of put together, and then you step back, and then it paints a broader picture.

00:29:54.000 So, a mosaic requires thousands of inputs, and they must all correlate together.

00:30:01.000 And so, there's some very famous mosaics in Spain, especially.

00:30:05.000 Spain is known for some of their very famous mosaics.

00:30:09.000 When I went to Madrid or Barcelona, they call it Barcelona.

00:30:12.000 They have these massive mosaics.

00:30:14.000 Ancient Romans were known for their mosaics.

00:30:16.000 In fact, I think the Romans brought mosaic art to Spain as part of their massive conquest.

00:30:24.000 But if you think of the media, you must think of what they're doing as a massive mosaic.

00:30:28.000 And every piece must fit.

00:30:31.000 And so, as they're trying to make a big argument, the mosaic of systemic racism must be little tiles of white people doing bad things.

00:30:42.000 Tile here, tile there, Ted Kaczynski, Eric Rudolph, Aurora shooter, Columbine shooter, the Charlottesville incident.

00:30:52.000 So, they put all these little tiles together because they want it when you step backwards to look at this massive mosaic of inputs and saying, oh my goodness, America is systemically racist.

00:31:02.000 But what they refuse to put on their mosaic is a story of a black supremacist killing six people at a Christmas parade.

00:31:14.000 They're like, no, no, no, that doesn't fit. 0.64

00:31:17.000 That ruins the picture.

00:31:20.000 It screws up our narrative.

00:31:22.000 And so they smash it.

00:31:24.000 They suppress it.

00:31:27.000 You see, everything the left tries to accomplish is about painting an incorruptible picture.

00:31:37.000 Look, everyone out there has been asking me, Charlie, how do I get more pillows?

00:31:41.000 Well, that's mypillow.com.

00:31:43.000 And it's promo code Charlie, actually.

00:31:45.000 It's a great special.

00:31:46.000 And MyPillow doesn't have their box stores anymore, so we got to help them out.

00:31:49.000 And part of them being canceled, they want to give you the lowest price yet.

00:31:53.000 So you can get the lowest price in the history of MyPillow for their classic standard MyPillow regularly, $69.98, now only $19.98 with the promo code.

00:32:03.000 They also have queen size, regularly $79.98 and $24.98 with a promo code or king size, usually $89.98, only $29.98 with your promo code.

00:32:13.000 MyPillow is not just pillows.

00:32:15.000 They have over 150 products, everything from sleepwear to new beds.

00:32:18.000 The promo code Kirk also works on mystoreandfrankspeech.com.

00:32:22.000 Go to mypillow.com or call 800-875-0425 and use promo code Kirk to take advantage of Mike's special offer on his standard MyPillow.

00:32:30.000 That's mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, or call 800-875-0425, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.

00:32:42.000 Let me kind of finish this point, which it's the best way I can explain it to you.

00:32:47.000 So we always complain that the media only cares about the narrative.

00:32:52.000 That's true.

00:32:52.000 But the best way to demonstrate what the narrative actually is is a distillation or a combination of multiple inputs to try to have a bigger picture.

00:33:05.000 So multiple little stories that confirm something bigger.

00:33:10.000 Right? 0.98

00:33:11.000 So it could be a drumbeat story that was one after the other of, okay, we're going to have a thousand stories to try to prove that Donald Trump is corrupt or 500 stories to prove that Donald Trump is inept. 0.96

00:33:23.000 And then when you look back at it, you're like the whole picture, the whole painting shows that.

00:33:28.000 When you actually see this picture, this painting, I should say, in a museum, what's so fascinating about it is that this painting was done as a collection of hundreds of thousands of little dots.

00:33:42.000 So little dots, one after the other, you might not notice it if you're just going straight up and you're just zooming in on it and you're squinting on it.

00:33:52.000 But the further and further you back up, you realize that those dots were actually there to be created a bigger picture.

00:33:59.000 Now, I use the mosaic example, and this is exactly what the media does.

00:34:03.000 So everything the media does day by day by day is adding a couple pieces of tile, adding a couple little dots.

00:34:10.000 Now, you might not notice it while it's happening, and sometimes it takes a trained eye, but they rarely ever allow a discolored tile or they rarely ever allow an off-colored series of dots to come into the mosaic, the tapestry, the piece of art that they're trying to create.

00:34:33.000 Because what they're trying to do, they're trying to create a visual spectacle that when you look at the news cycle, when you look at what's happening in front of you, you're like, oh, well, all those little tiles show to me that show me America's systemically racist.

00:34:50.000 When in reality, oh, no, no, no.

00:34:51.000 Look, we have a whole pile of stuff that shows the opposite.

00:34:54.000 You see, and the Waukesha story is a massive disruption in the picture they're trying to paint.

00:35:06.000 It is a glitch in the narrative, in the mosaic.

00:35:12.000 The deeper point is this, is that you must realize that every story they're covering or they're not covering is all about painting the mosaic that confirms what they actually want for the country.

00:35:25.000 Why do they want you to try to believe America is systemically racist?

00:35:28.000 Why do they want you to believe that black people are being hunted down in the streets?

00:35:31.000 It fits their political narrative.

00:35:32.000 Why do they want you to believe that we must vaccinate everyone?

00:35:35.000 Because it fits their political narrative.

00:35:38.000 So, what they intentionally do is remove the stories they don't want to talk about and they confirm the ones they want to talk about.

00:35:44.000 But this, a couple of the ones that have happened, especially in the last couple of days, Rittenhouse acquittal, Waukesha massacre, and the Maxwell trial, those three in particular, they want nothing to do with.

00:35:56.000 You know why?

00:35:57.000 It would mess up their painting.

00:35:59.000 Those three would mess up the picture that they're trying to put forward.

00:36:02.000 Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:36:04.000 This would muddy the waters.

00:36:06.000 It would make it way more nuanced.

00:36:09.000 It would actually give people a separate side of the story.

00:36:13.000 They don't want that.

00:36:14.000 Instead, they want it to be strictly the type and end goal that they want to paint.

00:36:19.000 They want you to zoom out from the collection of dots, from the tiles put together, and look at their manufactured artificial picture and say, oh, wow, you are right.

00:36:30.000 Everything CNN says means that we need to give the left more power.

00:36:34.000 The reality is the opposite, and they're withholding those from the broader cultural and news media mosaic that you consume every single day.
