00:00:00.000Hey everybody, today on the Charlie Kirk Show, we dive deeper into the biolab story and also on the two-year anniversary of the incident of Breonna Taylor.
00:00:08.000We talked to the police officer that was involved for his first-person perspective.

00:01:30.000I'm always fascinated by the totalitarian hobbies of the American elites.
00:01:36.000Their lives are very vacant and devoid of purpose, so they kind of hop from one purp, one kind of political movement, to the other.
00:01:44.000Uh, try to scream at the top of their lungs as saying that if you do not agree with everything that we say, you're a terrible person and we want to imprison you do.
00:01:53.000We have the Whoopy Goldberg clip from yesterday.
00:01:59.000But there is this kind of continual theme that if you disagree with the status quo as we've built out, such as you don't believe in the competence competency of our leaders you don't think success could be easily achieved.
00:02:10.000You also believe that this might destabilize the United States positions at the world reserve currency.
00:02:16.000All these very rational things that you're somehow an agent of Putin.
00:02:20.000And this is happening not just from left-wing media, but even people on the right are saying this as well.
00:02:26.000I mean you take one person for example Adam Kinzinger who's been wrong about every major foreign policy situation since he got elected.
00:02:34.000Adam Kinzinger says I refuse to validate the evil Tucker Carlson's propaganda program.
00:02:39.000This is all around this idea of whether or not there are bio labs in Ukraine and whether the United States is funding them.
00:02:45.000We're going to separate fact from fiction on that because for whatever reason, this is kind of one of the most amazing gaslighting experiments I personally have ever lived through where you could see so easily in front of you what's actually happening.
00:02:59.000And they're like, no, no, no, no, that's not happening.
00:03:04.000I got an invitation to do Tucker Carlson's show tonight.
00:03:07.000And there's no way I'll go on his show for a number of reasons.
00:03:11.000But first, let me state that his insistence that the West was provoking war with Putin, his spreading lies about bio labs, and his continued spewing of conspiracy theories are nothing but complete evil.
00:03:26.000His show is full of Russian propaganda and not news.
00:03:30.000And I will not validate his show by making an appearance.
00:03:34.000Validate his show by making an appearance.
00:03:37.000No, you're just scared he's actually going to ask you direct questions.
00:03:40.000So Adam Kinzinger, we'd love to have you on our program.
00:04:01.000We have a lot of mutual friends, or at least we used to.
00:04:03.000So, Adam Kinzinger is calling Tucker Carlson, all of that, a propaganda program all around this idea of these biolabs.
00:04:10.000And it's such a weird story that everyone kind of springs into this posture of that you're some sort of propaganda pusher because you're just mentioning the fact that the United States very well might have been involved in funding biolaboratories.
00:04:24.000So, this all kind of stemmed from Tulsi Gabbard in Cut 48, who actually served in our military, and Adam did as well, playing Cut 48, saying that we know about Ukrainian biolaboratories and how they can be a danger.
00:05:15.000Just, you know, keep on making Zelensky videos on TikTok.
00:05:21.000Okay, so here's what we know: quote, in a remarkable off-camera briefing held last week, the Department of Defense further spoke about these claims in that briefing.
00:05:30.000An unidentified, quote, senior Department of Defense official said, among a few things, quote, a few key points about the Department of Defense's cooperative threat reduction program and biological threat reduction program activities in Ukraine.
00:05:42.000This is part of the Department of Defense's cooperative threat reduction program.
00:05:46.000So, the Department of Defense is saying, according to the Department of Defense, that, quote, in Ukraine, they have a cooperative threat reduction program and a biological threat reduction program.
00:06:18.000They said, quote, we have began supporting 46 Ukrainian labs, health facilities, and diagnostic sites.
00:06:24.000The Department of Defense's CTCR or CTR program began its biological co-work with Ukraine to eliminate the remnants of the Soviets' illegal biological weapon program left in the Soviets' successor states after the USSR fell.
00:06:41.000It says, quote, there are cooperative threat reductions, is what CTR is.
00:06:45.000There are no DOD bioweapon labs in Ukraine or anywhere else in the world.
00:06:50.000The first, the most obvious point about the statement is that admission that A, these laboratories exist, and B, we've given them money.
00:06:56.000So, wait, they say there's no bio-labs, but then they say that there's a cooperative threat reduction program of the biological threat reduction program.
00:07:05.000And why are we giving $200 million to Ukraine?
00:07:26.000If we've been spending that money since 2005 as allegedly trying to end them, we're trying to, quote, eliminate the remnants of the Soviets' illegal biological weapon, why does that take 17 years?
00:07:41.000If you want to end bioweapon sites, why is that a 17-year project?
00:07:48.000Why did the government lie about this story when it first broke?
00:07:52.000The government totally lied about it, of course.
00:09:00.000These are all things that I want answers to, and you should too.
00:09:03.000Provide the answers, and we'll stop asking questions.
00:09:06.000So, this old crow on CBS, he even admitted that there are biolaboratories in Ukraine, and they can be used to weaponize pathogens.
00:09:16.000If CBS is saying it, why are lawmakers like Adam Kinzinger saying that this is Russian propaganda, even though it's on the DOD website, PlayCut 49?
00:09:28.000Honeygun official I talked to this morning said there is no movement of chemical weapons into Ukraine.
00:09:36.000At least they're not seeing the signs of it.
00:09:38.000The concern is that the Russians will seize one of these biomedical research facilities that Ukraine has where they do research on deadly pathogens like botulism and anthrax, seize one of those facilities, weaponize the pathogen, and then blame it on Ukraine and the U.S. because the U.S. has been providing support for some of the research being done in those facilities.
00:10:07.000This whole thing feels identical to what we went through with the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab leak.
00:10:12.000They smear you, they lie about you, then they're like, oh, yeah, actually, it did come from a lab.
00:10:16.000Now, we just got fact-checked by Facebook this morning for even mentioning biolabs, even though the DOD says they're doing it, even though the old crow on CBS is like, oh, yeah, biolabs are a huge threat.
00:10:29.000So the philosopher queen herself, Whoopi Goldberg, who just a couple of weeks ago, let's remember, said the Holocaust was not inspired by race and like bizarrely double and triple down on that, comes out in this exchange on the view.
00:10:46.000This is cut 40, where everyone on the view agrees on everything.
00:10:55.000It's like Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah, who I knew when she worked in the White House, and now she's just become like a complete propagandist of the totalitarian left.
00:11:04.000It really kind of tells you a lot about who is actually staffing our government in the Trump administration, actually.
00:11:11.000So there's Ana Navarro and all these people kind of yammering on.
00:11:14.000And then there's Whoopi Goldberg, who just says the most unbelievable thing.
00:11:21.000And I think DOJ, in the same way that it is setting up a task force to investigate oligarchs, should look into people who are Russian propagandists and shilling for Putin.
00:11:31.000That's being, if you are a foreign asset to a dictator, it should be investigated.
00:13:25.000Cracking down on Russian disinformation has been used by all kinds of people, particularly big tech, to censor speech.
00:13:32.000Now, even the search engine DuckDuckGo, which you may use because they promised you that they would not use algorithms to suppress your speech or track your searches online, has joined the herd.
00:13:44.000DuckDuckGo's CEO is promising that the search engine will downrank sites that are, quote, associated with Russian disinformation.
00:14:28.000If you don't know what a VPN is, it stands for a virtual private network.
00:14:32.000ExpressVPN is an app that encrypts 100% of your network data and reroutes it through a secure server.
00:14:37.000This is especially important when you use public Wi-Fi.
00:14:39.000Not only can the admin see everything you're doing, but hackers connected to the same network can steal your account logins and financial details.
00:14:46.000Because they engineered their own VPN protocol, all the other mage VPNs have the same off-the-shelf protocol.
00:14:53.000Look, it's like making brownies using a mix.
00:14:55.000Sure, you might add an extra egg in there or a dash of vanilla to give it an edge, but the foundation is still the same.
00:15:03.000This level of bespoke technology is what allows ExpressVPN, the best VPN out there, to provide superior speeds and enhance privacy and protection.
00:15:12.000You need to use a VPN every time you go online.

00:15:28.000I visit college campuses all across the country with Turning Point USA, and I have to hear all of the latest points of outrage.
00:15:37.000And one of the things that many young people will mention repeatedly is the incident involving Brianna Taylor, an incident that happened in Louisville, Kentucky.
00:15:48.000Now, this is not just some one-off incident.
00:15:50.000This was a civilizational defining event.
00:15:54.000didn't get as much coverage as, of course, the George Floyd situation, but the Breonna Taylor incident, the Breonna Taylor raid, has been used by activist groups by people that go to corporations to raise tons of money as a rallying cry.
00:16:08.000The problem is what most people think about what happened there, which has now been used to justify public policy changes and power grabs.
00:16:19.000The man who was involved himself in that situation the night Breonna Taylor was shot is John Mattingly, and he has a new book, To Tell Us the Truth, and he's with us right now.
00:16:31.000John, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:16:35.000So tell us why you wrote the book and walk us through what happened that evening versus what the media actually reported happening that evening.
00:16:52.000Our city leaders, our department have refused to debunk any of the lies that were put out.
00:16:59.000Therefore, the officers involved have all been demonized.
00:17:03.000And to put it quite frankly, we have to get the truth out because for future generations of police officers that are coming after me, they have been just totally demoralized.
00:17:15.000And the more officers that you run off from departments, the more people that get chased away from this great calling, and that's what it is, it's a calling.
00:17:24.000It's not just a job, but the more people get chased away from it for fear of prosecution for doing the job that you're trained to do and asked to do, then you're going to get corruption that sets in and just filters up the ranks of command.
00:18:17.000But I do know that she was holding money for them and she was allowing things to come filtered through her apartment that shouldn't have been, which put her directly in target and directly in the limelight of the police for that night.
00:18:30.000So when we showed up to that apartment, we banged, we knocked, we announced, we announced and were so loud that one of the residents upstairs came down, opened his door and was like, what are you guys doing?
00:18:40.000And there was a little argument that ensued between us.
00:18:43.000He finally went back in his apartment.
00:18:45.000We continued banging on the door, knocking and announcing loudly.
00:18:49.000And after about a minute, there was no response and we had to take action.
00:18:54.000You know, at some point, you've got to move.
00:18:56.000And so we rammed the door, which is a utility that we use to force the door open.
00:19:03.000And as soon as that door came open and I started to step in the doorway, I was met with two individuals down a hallway.
00:19:10.000And they were almost blended together.
00:19:35.000And she was caught in a crossfire and she perished.
00:19:39.000As soon as that incident took place, I was able to get out of the hallway and into the street where they were able to put a tourniquet on my femoral artery that had been severed and saved my life.
00:20:31.000And so he, and he's proven in a court of law.
00:20:35.000So then he goes out of the way, right, and dashes out of the way.
00:20:40.000And then Brianna, who's not in bed, right?
00:20:42.000So there is this kind of narrative that, and the way that it was portrayed is she was peacefully sleeping in her bed and was caught, you know, while trying to hide under the sheets, basically.
00:20:57.000How did that ever get into the news narrative?
00:21:04.000As soon as he got on board with this, after Maude Aubrey, he came to town with his circus, stirred things up, riled the people up, continued to spread lies.
00:21:14.000And again, that's one of the easy things that the department could have debunked from the get-go and refused to for whatever reason.
00:21:52.000Is that that was part of the narrative.
00:21:54.000So, and this is the two-year anniversary, right, of the week that it happened.
00:22:00.000USA Today has an article that came out just an hour ago.
00:22:05.000The anniversary of Breonna Taylor's death just passed quietly, and I'm so disappointed.
00:22:10.000It writes about how this was a murder is the word that is used, how this is a wrongful killing, all these sorts of different things.
00:22:19.000It goes on and on and on and on, endlessly almost.
00:22:24.000And so what's so striking is that this is a much more complicated and nuanced situation.
00:22:31.000What was it that kind of motivated the media to want to slander this so badly?
00:22:37.000I mean, this must have been so frustrating.
00:22:38.000I mean, you almost lost your life because you were shot at.
00:22:42.000Yeah, the frustration, it was just mind-boggling.
00:22:45.000So I believe a lot of it had to do with the fact that we were in the 2020 elections because we simply, I mean, we reached out to Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul and we're like, hey, is there anything you guys can do?
00:22:57.000Because we had hits on our lives that were placed and both of them were like, yeah, we really can't get involved.
00:23:30.000It's the principle that he shoots me while doing illegal activity and then turns around and sues me for it.
00:23:38.000And people are outraged that I want to defend myself.
00:23:41.000You know, that just goes to show you the type of environment that we're in right now, that the bad guys are able to have freedom to do whatever they want.
00:23:51.000Yet when you stand up and try to fight back and push against it, we're the ones that get attacked.
00:23:55.000Same way with you on the political stance.
00:24:15.000It says Breonna Taylor's family supporters push for justice, blah, blah, blah, all this stuff.
00:24:20.000But what they don't want to talk about, and it's a tragedy, right?
00:24:23.000And we don't want bystanders to die, but she wasn't in her bed.
00:24:28.000But also, is that this thug, this criminal started shooting at you, you nearly died, and that she got caught in the crossfire, right?
00:24:38.000That's not a that's not like the narrative that you just kind of came through the back door and performed an execution when someone was in their bed.
00:24:48.000So, I mean, can you just walk through?
00:24:50.000I mean, you the kind of how this happened back and forth, that you guys were returning fire after someone was trying to kill you.
00:24:58.000Yeah, I mean, I don't know what else they expect when we're there legally to conduct a search warrant signed by a judge.
00:25:06.000And as we're coming in, I receive fire.
00:25:35.000Your brain slows down, but things are moving rapidly.
00:25:37.000And in the dark, with the echoes of the metal and the concrete and the flashing of the light kind of makes it like a strobe light effect, then it makes it difficult to, it's impossible to stop on a dime and go, okay, let me stop here and reevaluate while I'm being shot at.
00:26:23.000It talks about the event, but then it talks about mainly what happened after the lack, all the things, the death threats, us having to move and sell our house, our family being uprooted, all the things that factor in that nobody knows about.
00:26:36.000All the people that tweet and say all these hateful things that stir up this problems, they don't think of what the consequences of those are for other people.
00:26:43.000And I just want people to see that in this book.
00:28:02.000As you heard, we went through in great detail kind of how the media is reacting to the entire biolab story.
00:28:08.000So the philosopher queen herself, Whoopi Goldberg, she decided she has to weigh in on this and just play cut 60.
00:28:18.000Propaganda that has been brought down.
00:28:20.000They used to arrest people for doing stuff like this.
00:28:23.000If they thought you were colluding with the Russian agent, if they thought you were putting out information or taking information and handing over to Russia, they used to actually investigate stuff like this.
00:28:35.000And I guess now, you know, there seems to be no bars.
00:28:40.000And people are not being told to hate Putin.
00:28:43.000Putin doesn't need a reason to be hated.
00:29:21.000What seems to me almost the Putin wing of the Republican Party, which, to be fair, is not highly, not prevalent much on Capitol Hill, but we've seen Tucker Carlson, you know, basically repeat Russian propaganda night after night.
00:29:39.000Well, first of all, before they fell in love with Putin, they fell in love with Orban and Hungary.
00:29:44.000Make America great again meant let's make America more like Hungary.
00:29:48.000Now, of course, George Will used to be really interesting and smart, and now George Will is really boring, predictable, and just kind of a spokesperson and a mouthpiece, honestly, for the regime.
00:30:00.000Now, Viktor Orban has a completely different country than Vladimir Putin in Russia.
00:30:32.000China is worried about their image, and they need to understand that their image is being tarnished even further by literally their lack of response.
00:30:41.000They should be forcefully coming out against what Russia is doing, but they're not.
00:30:45.000Now, can we decouple from China overnight?
00:31:52.000There has been an endless stream of malicious incidents involving deaths caused by police brutality in U.S. law enforcement.
00:32:01.000The CIA, using the so-called war on terror as a pretext, set up black sites in many countries where the so-called terrorist suspects were secretly held in arbitrary detention and confessions were extorted by torture.
00:32:19.000China calls on Human Rights Council and the Special Repertoire on Torture to pay closer attention to U.S. violation of human rights and urge it to adopt concrete measures to resolve relevant issues.
00:32:34.000Yeah, it's the Americans that are the human right abusers.
00:32:36.000Why are we putting up with this exactly?
00:32:38.000We're allowing China to trade potentially petrodollars to Saudi Arabia.
00:32:42.000Every single one of these dictators are in self-preservation mode right now.
00:32:46.000Without American leadership, without a strong American dollar, without American energy independence, with a strong American border, the world goes to bedlam.
00:32:53.000And you're seeing it unravel right now.
00:32:55.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
