Stu and I arrived at Turning Point USA this morning around 430 to be ready to do this podcast

00:00:44.620
this is helping the family to start and TPUSA. We do have a fundraiser, give send go dot com slash

00:03:40.600
work. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:55.160
We have Chip Roy on with us. Chip is the Republican congressman from Texas, also candidate for Texas
00:04:03.940
attorney general. And we couldn't get a better attorney general than Chip Roy. Um, Chip, I want
00:04:08.680
to talk to you a little bit about, um, you know, what the New York times is saying and a gross overreach
00:04:14.100
that we are now, uh, targeting the Democrats and we're using Charlie Kurtz death as a political tool
00:04:23.020
by going after some of these NGOs and looking into who might be funding, uh, different things. Can you
00:04:30.100
respond to that? Well, I think they're afraid that's the truth, Glenn. Uh, they don't want us to pursue
00:04:36.780
the truth. They don't want us to expose to the American people, the broad, extensive, coordinated
00:04:43.460
network of radical leftists, Marxists that are funding all of this. Now they think we're trying to
00:04:50.520
say, Oh, you know, you're saying they funded the shooting of Charlie Kurtz. Well, we'll let the
00:04:56.340
authorities go investigate this and follow the law wherever it may lead. But what I am saying
00:05:02.060
is that that radical organized coordinated group are purposely undermining our values and our way of
00:05:09.200
life, whether it's the border and all of the funding of the NGOs and all of the organizations,
00:05:15.420
including by the way, a lot of charities masquerading as faith organizations that were
00:05:20.400
dumping people into our country, harming our citizens. American citizens died, fentanyl poured into
00:05:25.920
our streets, the organized funding, like the Ren collective that is a tied to these radical DAs
00:05:32.800
and Soros funded prosecutors, judges that are letting criminals out on the street,
00:05:38.740
then in dangerous that resulted directly in the death of the Ukrainian refugee that we all saw
00:05:44.240
in that horrific video leading up to obviously the loss of Charlie, but the radicalization of our
00:05:50.940
schools, the radicalization of all of this stuff, the transgender efforts, all of that is not just
00:05:56.700
some fanciful, like weird unicorn hippie crap. It's actually a coordinated effort to target Western
00:06:03.440
civilization and our belief system. And they don't want us to pursue it. We must pursue it. And that's
00:06:10.220
why I put forward a letter calling on the formation of a select committee. They're designed to focus on it.
00:06:16.080
Now, look, if we want to run that all under judiciary or oversight, fine. I mean, Speaker Johnson and Jim
00:06:22.140
Jordan and Jamie Comer, they're all great friends. However, we want to do it. The purpose of the
00:06:26.520
letter is to say we must do it. It can't just be left to cash and the FBI and to Pam Bondi and to the
00:06:31.980
administration. Congress has to do our job to expose to the American people, this broad network
00:06:41.740
We just to go through some of them. 2012 terrorist attack against a conservative Christian think tank,
00:06:47.560
the Family Research Council. We know somebody went in there and just shot everybody up.
00:06:51.680
Steve Scalise shot at the Republican practice for the congressional baseball game. The guy wanted to
00:06:56.360
is a Bernie Sanders fan, wanted to kill everybody on the diamond. All of the Republicans ran Paul
00:07:02.000
attacked by a crazy lefty on his own lawn. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh almost
00:07:07.560
assassinated. President Trump nearly assassinated, not once, but twice, both lefties. And now Charlie
00:07:14.460
Kirk was assassinated. And I think a lot of this... Go ahead. No, go ahead.
00:07:20.580
No, I want to point out one thing there. Take an organization like the Southern Poverty Law Center.
00:07:27.880
They have their heat map, right, that is directed to saying that we've got our folks who are hate
00:07:33.780
organizations or, you know, somehow a threat. And they put all that out there trying to radicalize
00:07:40.680
their people. Guess who was on that list? The Family Research Council, which you just pointed
00:07:46.060
out, was shot up by a radicalized individual right here in Washington, D.C., where a security guard got
00:07:51.640
shot. Charlie Kirk was on the Southern Poverty Law Centers, targeted heat map, and basically putting
00:08:01.300
a target on Charlie Kirk. So all of these things are coordinated. And I didn't mean to interrupt you,
00:08:06.380
but I just wanted people to understand each one of these things are connected.
00:08:10.300
You have a lot of it also that is connected directly to schools. I mean, Arabella Advisors,
00:08:19.720
you know, you look at what these guys are doing in conjunction, just raising money and dumping
00:08:27.620
it into these far left wings. I mean, Chip, I've been on this since Tides Foundation was, you
00:08:34.920
know, something new and breaking news. This is a long running practice of the left. And
00:08:44.880
it's got us. It has to stop. It has to stop because they're not only taking the money that
00:08:51.740
they're raising and fomenting revolution, color revolution in our own country, but they also
00:08:57.640
have found a way to our tax dollars. And so these same organizations are getting our tax dollars
00:09:02.600
to do the same. Glenn, you know, when I've followed you for a long time and, and, you know,
00:09:10.000
you and I have now known each other for a long time. And, and, and the thing that I've always
00:09:14.920
admired about what you've done is try to explain to the American people, even dating back to some
00:09:20.900
of your, your TV days where you go out there and you have the big whiteboards, right? Connecting the
00:09:25.540
dots. And this is where I think Congress has been missing it. And Republican Congress, and we do,
00:09:32.320
we do a lot of good stuff. Okay. And look, we've been working hard and the big, beautiful bill and
00:09:36.360
all this stuff, you know, I'm talking about good and bad. There's some good, some bad. You got to
00:09:40.280
hurt cats. I get it. But we have not done a sufficient job, in my opinion, of exposing this
00:09:47.600
organized, coordinated effort. And by the way, that is directly tied to what we were articulating a
00:09:54.520
couple of years ago, when we went through the speakers fight, and we were demanding that we create
00:09:59.160
a sort of weaponization select committee, we ended up sticking it under the judiciary committee. And
00:10:04.940
we did some things. But the purpose there to me is much bigger and bolder than we've ever done.
00:10:11.640
I believe we need to step on the gas. I believe that we need to expose that coordinated network
00:10:17.560
and the weaponization of government that is tied to it. That's the key element here, right? All of those
00:10:24.160
groups, fomenting hate and targeting our people. And I don't mean fomenting hate like hate speech.
00:10:28.940
That's a garbage principle, by the way. And I hope the attorney general is backing away from
00:10:34.020
talking about, quote, hate speech. That's a leftist, tyrannical terminology. We don't police thoughts.
00:10:41.320
But the focus, when you've got a hate map, that's a political tool of the left to say that,
00:10:48.320
yeah, Charlie Kirk, he's a hater. And the Family Research Council is a hater. Why? Because
00:10:54.000
we believe in Jesus, and we believe in Western civilization. We believe in marriage. We believe
00:10:58.380
in families. We believe in responsibility and work ethic and Western civilization. They want to target
00:11:04.020
it and go after it. And they use government to attack us for it. They use government to undermine
00:11:09.780
the Trump administration. They use government to target law-abiding citizens and things like the
00:11:15.220
FACE Act, if you dared pray in an abortion clinic. And I could go on and on. That's the coordinated
00:11:20.160
effort we need to do a better job of exposing. That's what my letter was all about.
00:11:24.000
I was on a conference call yesterday with a bunch of leaders on the right. And we were discussing
00:11:31.580
things that need to happen. And I brought up some things that can't happen. I said, you know, I hope
00:11:37.000
that we are all watchdogs here, that we don't go too far, that we don't have a Patriot Act. Because
00:11:42.840
right now, the passions are running very, very high. And we don't want another Patriot Act. We cannot afford
00:11:49.860
another Patriot Act. I want to make sure that we're doing everything constitutionally
00:11:53.940
correct, not getting into some sort of thing that we're all going to regret down the road.
00:12:00.360
Is this all constitutional? Is this all right in line with, are you opening up a can of worms that
00:12:06.860
when the other side gets a hold of this, we're going to pay for it?
00:12:10.180
Well, so I couldn't agree more, actually. And keep in mind, what we're talking about is
00:12:16.140
what I'm talking about, not a law, not a additional crime, not a, you know, statute that's going to be
00:12:22.400
enforced against people. It's about saying we need to put together hearings with subpoenas and call
00:12:28.880
people forward and paint a picture for the American people. Look, we do that anyway. All this,
00:12:34.320
that's it. Well, that's oversight. That's our job in Congress. But we just need to do it with focus.
00:12:39.360
My point is, and I think you agree, we just need to do it better. And we just need to expose
00:12:44.180
this radical, radicalized network that's against our way of life. People are going to say, oh,
00:12:48.920
that's McCarthyism. No, I want to seek truth wherever it may lead. I believe, and I've seen
00:12:55.480
significant evidence of these coordinated activities. Let's go see it. If George Soros is just sitting on an
00:13:01.960
island, throwing money into the wind to get people elected, he is within his rights to do so.
00:13:07.640
If some organization wants to speak out and say they don't like our country or they don't believe
00:13:12.400
in Jesus, they are free to do so. But when you are coordinating all of that, and these organizations
00:13:17.660
are masquerading as things they are not, and when they are then using that to foment the kind of
00:13:22.940
violence and things that are directed at our way of life, or putting criminals on the streets,
00:13:27.300
or putting gang members in our neighborhoods, or funneling fentanyl into our communities,
00:13:31.140
because it's a political operation, because they want more voters, well, that's a real problem.
00:13:37.880
And that's undermining our security, and it needs to be exposed, must be exposed,
00:13:42.980
and then we can go deal with it. But I couldn't agree more. We should not react. Like, I'll give you
00:13:48.180
an example. We were debating yesterday in the Rules Committee a small provision that was added to the
00:13:53.860
continuing resolution to add additional security for executive branch, judiciary, and then, yes,
00:13:59.860
legislative branch officials. It was about $88 million of funding. Now, that's not huge in our
00:14:05.520
budgetary scheme, sadly. But I raised the question, guys, how are we paying for this? How is this going
00:14:10.840
to work? Like, sure, security. But we shouldn't react and throw everything out because we're just,
00:14:17.000
oh my God, we're in a panic. This happened. This is terrible. We should follow our normal procedures,
00:14:21.520
make reasoned, collective judgments about what is good for the country. And I believe the country
00:14:28.720
deserves to know the truth about organizations they think are innocent that are out there fomenting a
00:14:36.100
lot of the things that are undermining their liberty, their security, their way of life.
00:14:40.600
Talking to Chip Roy, who's running for Texas Attorney General. He is currently a congressman,
00:14:47.120
one of the best congressmen in Washington. Let me switch gears. How long do you think this is going
00:14:52.120
to last, this at least attempt at unity? You know, especially after what you saw happen with
00:15:01.020
Luigi Mangione in court yesterday. People in the courtroom cheered when they said, you know,
00:15:08.860
they had to throw out the murder in the first degree charge. They cheered.
00:15:14.800
Well, I don't really put much stock in whatever people are saying about, quote, unity at the moment,
00:15:20.520
whether that's unity that people are saying we need to unite across our ideologies or even within,
00:15:26.000
frankly, the Republican Party per se. Unity without purpose that are binding us together under a shared
00:15:32.020
set of values is not unity. Like, what are we united to do and accomplish?
00:15:37.420
Um, I said this in so much in the letter that we're not, we can't force being bound together.
00:15:45.280
You are bound together based on your commitment to a shared belief system. And you either believe
00:15:52.080
in Western civilization, believe in God, believe that our Western civilization is built on those
00:16:00.660
Chip, as always, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
00:16:13.080
All right. Let me tell you about, uh, pre-born. Uh, you know, it's really easy crying, crying, um, um,
00:16:19.900
crying babies are annoying, but crying babies, you know, when they're first crying, it's like,
00:16:25.840
hey, they're alive. And that's one thing that is really easy to celebrate life. Now,
00:16:33.660
some people don't want to celebrate life. Some people would say, shout your abortion. That's called
00:16:39.940
a culture of death. And as we've talked about on this program over and over and over again,
00:16:45.300
a culture of death might start with the babies, but then end with the killing of anyone they find
00:16:52.880
useless. Huh? Or annoying that crying baby, that, that shouting Charlie Kirk doesn't matter.
00:17:01.920
Once you start dismissing life, you can dismiss any life. If it offends you, if you don't deem it
00:17:09.900
worthy, see how this works. Pre-born wants us to get back to the basics and declare that all life
00:17:16.560
is sacred. Um, we have to stand up for life in the abortion clinics. And that is exactly what
00:17:23.280
happens with pre-born. They're great. Pre-born.com slash Beck, make a donation. Now pre-born.com slash
00:17:29.640
Beck, dial pound two 50 on your phone, say the keyword baby and save and stand up for life.
00:17:35.460
Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. And we really want to thank you
00:17:40.880
for listening. Ryan, welcome to the program. We're glad you're here. Thanks for having me.
00:17:48.200
So, uh, Ryan, uh, first of all, uh, I know how you felt about Charlie Kirk and, uh, condolences,
00:17:54.180
uh, on that. And thank you for everything that you're doing, uh, right now. I think this is so
00:17:59.120
important, especially in the wake of his, uh, martyrdom.
00:18:03.060
Yeah. Thank you. And it's an honor really to be part of, um, you know, your friend and to be part
00:18:11.100
of, part of your team and try to make a difference so that this doesn't go unanswered. And so that
00:18:16.360
hopefully some greater good comes about as a result of this.
00:18:21.000
So I remember you and I met, Oh, how many years ago? And we, we sat together and we talked about
00:18:30.140
taking on George Soros and how important. Do you remember that conversation?
00:18:35.840
I do. Um, it was, we were discussing our mutual friend, Phil Haney, who had passed, um, and the way
00:18:45.440
Uh, and so you have been doing research, uh, and you are a great researcher, um, and you've been doing
00:18:52.160
research and what can you share now? I know you want to make a big announcement when we're together
00:18:56.740
again with the, the Charlie Kirk, uh, show, but what can you give us as a preview?
00:19:03.720
Well, what I can say is, is that I believe that myself and my colleagues at Capitol research
00:19:09.500
center have done the most extensive investigation into the Soros network's funding of extremists
00:19:16.340
that I think was ever conducted. Um, and the results are shocking and it should change the game. It
00:19:22.540
should equip the Trump administration with what they need in order to take action. Uh, we don't
00:19:27.380
have to have a debate about free speech versus hate speech. Um, if you look at the IRS code, uh,
00:19:33.660
nonprofits are not allowed to be engaging in criminal activity. They're not allowed, uh, possibly to even
00:19:40.240
be encouraging it. If you look at the language, um, and what we have found is many millions of dollars
00:19:46.520
going to go into things like that. And right now I'm holding my hand about 100 pages of evidence
00:19:52.800
that we're about to drop, um, with you. And so I think it's safe to say that today the counteroffensive
00:19:59.640
begins. Yeah, we are going through the a hundred pages ourselves right now. We got it from you last
00:20:06.620
night and, um, and we're furiously going through all of the pages. It's pretty, um, pretty remarkable,
00:20:12.880
uh, what you have found. What is your, um, what's your level of comfort on saying 100% correct?
00:20:22.620
I almost never say this, but it's a hundred percent correct. And to give you an idea of why
00:20:28.740
I'm so confident, uh, there's a related report that I did for Cavaliers Center called marching
00:20:34.320
towards violence, where we mapped out all the groups that were organizing the anti-Semitic,
00:20:38.780
anti-American protests after the October 7th attacks. Uh, and we identified over 150 pro-terrorism
00:20:44.980
groups that basically manufactured all of that. Uh, and this is, this is very similar. There's
00:20:51.200
some overlap. And here is what one of the media outlets connected to that seditionist movement
00:20:57.220
truth out actually said, they said that our report is a quote existential threat that could easily mean
00:21:05.000
a quick death for most of the groups, especially the nonprofits by getting their tax exempt statuses
00:21:11.080
revoked. And those that survive, this group said would suffer what they called mass chaos.
00:21:17.660
So the extremists have told us that we've discovered how to defeat them.
00:21:23.780
You know, it's, it's amazing to me that these guys have gotten away with it for so long. I mean,
00:21:27.960
when I started, you know, going after the tides foundation and showed how the showed America,
00:21:32.720
how the shell game was working, they've only gotten more bold and much, much more dangerous,
00:21:38.980
um, all the way into using our tax dollars to funnel money into overthrowing us. Um, uh,
00:21:46.800
why, why haven't we gotten serious about this until now?
00:21:51.720
I think it's so brazen that it's hard for people to believe that there's actually something bad going
00:21:57.100
on. I mean, there's a few things going on, which is where it's so in your face that people say,
00:22:01.260
well, I mean, if it was really that bad, then someone would have done something about it.
00:22:04.600
And then they looked elsewhere. Um, there have been expositions done about grants going from some
00:22:09.600
of these big billionaire funded organizations, going to these extremist groups, but it comes in
00:22:13.740
drips and draps. Um, so what we've done is we brought it in the case of Soros, brought it all
00:22:17.940
together into one spot, found many, many, many more financial transactions using their own records,
00:22:23.540
uh, in order to illustrate for the first time, I think,
00:22:26.880
so people understand that this is an infrastructure, this is a movement. And as scary as that is, it
00:22:33.220
also means it can be taken down. We can confront them. And this is something that we can win.
00:22:39.900
You know, it was amazing to me. Um, I think there's three countries. I know it's Hungary. I think it's
00:22:45.980
Singapore. And I think there's another one that have banned George Soros and his allies. Uh, you,
00:22:52.460
you, you can't operate in those countries, um, because they know the damage that he does and
00:22:57.680
they know, and they, and they've just said it out loud. Do you think we're going to get to a place
00:23:06.760
Well, I think we're at that point. I think when this comes out and people realize that what the
00:23:11.160
IRS code says, a tax exempt organization can do and cannot do, and how blatantly is being crossed
00:23:17.900
that this is no longer a heavy list. It's just a matter of the will of willpower and coordination,
00:23:24.240
making sure everybody that can make something happen actually does it and is all operating.
00:23:29.420
They're all on the same page. Um, and as bad as the threat is, and as quickly as it's escalating,
00:23:35.320
I think we can rapidly push it back. Um, and when people see that like Soros is funding so many
00:23:40.820
groups that endorsed the October 7th attacks, I think you'll even see democratic voting and left-wing
00:23:47.520
supporting groups back away and say, you know what? I don't want to touch this.
00:23:56.220
Uh, we are, uh, like I said, we're going over the research, uh, ourselves and, uh, we'll probably
00:24:02.340
end up doing a, uh, a giant chalkboard on it once we get through it. But I want you to know,
00:24:06.960
I'll personally give it to the president, um, myself to make sure that he sees it because,
00:24:12.180
um, you've done, you've done yeoman's work here, uh, and done a lot of the work for the FBI and
00:24:21.260
everybody else's. I mean, it's, it's not hard to see where it is. It is hard to prove it and to
00:24:29.180
track it down, uh, and make sure that everything is buttoned up and you've done a lot of that work
00:24:33.540
already. So thank you for that. Thank you so much, Glenn. Uh, it's great to know that finally
00:24:39.840
action will be taken with your help and that just for everyone listening out there, like
00:24:43.940
civilians can make a difference. You know, I'd say you don't have to outsource your civic
00:24:47.140
responsibility to the government and assume that they know everything and all the powers in their
00:24:51.120
hands. This is, this is the power of patriotic nonprofit organizations like the one I work for
00:24:57.140
independent civilians can do. You can really make a difference if you want to.
00:25:02.880
Can you talk about, um, occupied turtle Island? I know we've talked about this before, but I'd like
00:25:08.520
you to go into that again, because it kind of goes into what you were, what you're going to talk about
00:25:12.960
here, uh, coming up in a couple of hours. Sure. So, so this is a term that everyone needs to
00:25:19.300
familiarize themselves with, because this is how, you know, when a group is radical, very often our
00:25:24.080
times are hiding it. They will refer to the United States as either the so-called United States or
00:25:28.900
occupied turtle Island. And it comes to this myth that the native Americans before the evil white
00:25:35.100
settlers showed up, refer to the entire continent as turtle Island. And what they do is by referring
00:25:41.620
to the U S as turtle Island, they're saying, we do not recognize the right of the United States to
00:25:45.480
exist. And if you do not have a right to exist, then you should be destroyed. And it's the same
00:25:51.380
template that they use against Israel when they refer to it as occupied Palestine.
00:25:56.860
So these groups that are supposedly just anti-Israel, but then refer to the U S as occupied turtle
00:26:03.000
Island. They have the same exact agenda for both of us. And if you look at the foreign governments
00:26:08.620
that support them, if you look at what the words of the extremists of all kinds say that are part of
00:26:14.660
this movement, their big gamble is that Americans can be triggered, provoked to rip America apart along
00:26:24.000
racial lines, along political lines, and that our civil discourse, our civil society will be so poisoned
00:26:31.760
that it'll cease to function. And that people will become more like Tyler Robinson supporters and their
00:26:39.440
rhetoric will be more like that. And less like the love you would see from Charlie Kirk. I mean,
00:26:45.020
I mean, you look at some of the longer, even the longer videos of Charlie cook that sometimes didn't
00:26:50.180
always go viral and you can see the love he had for the people who was debating at times. And that
00:26:55.420
for me, I know made me a better person that impacted me more than any opinion he expressed or argued for.
00:27:01.260
I think that's why he affected so many people. He really did love the people he was debating.
00:27:08.880
He really didn't have hatred in his heart for any of them. I mean, you know, he, he became a
00:27:15.660
Christian. He was baptized in 2018, I think, and he lived his faith. He lived his faith and was really
00:27:24.120
trying to live a life very much like Christ. And, you know, not a perfect guy by any stretch of the
00:27:30.720
imagination, but man, better than I am better than I probably have ever been, uh, you know,
00:27:35.940
living his life. Let me, let me ask you about one other thing. Um, let me put a full screen up. Um,
00:27:43.200
this is, uh, Kristen Hawkins, president of students for life, a side by side picture of a Charlie Kirk
00:27:49.620
memorial at UNC Wilmington, one before it was vandalized and one picture now spray painted with
00:27:57.940
trans pride colors. So vandalize after. Have you heard of trans, uh, Trantifa?
00:28:06.740
I heard that term. I have. Oh yeah. It's like a militia type movement. And they've used that term to
00:28:13.100
describe themselves by the way. So it's not really offensive. How real is Trantifa? How, how extensive
00:28:21.520
is that? And have you seen any funding going toward groups that would call themselves Trantifa?
00:28:29.380
I've seen funding, including from Soros' network going towards groups that ally themselves with
00:28:35.600
Antifa terrorists for sure. We're going to show that. Um, Trantifa would be a subset of that. Uh,
00:28:40.980
so you can make the argument back connection exist. Um, but more broadly, I mean, I've been studying and
00:28:46.300
monitoring extremists and getting to law enforcement intelligence about these types of people
00:28:50.180
for many years, reporting thousands of them. And so I saw this militia type Trantifa movement
00:28:57.300
really growing and it's real. Like I've seen them own MNA gyms. Um, I've seen them doing,
00:29:02.800
they're very pro-gun actually, um, because you have to be to have a militia. Um, and they act,
00:29:10.240
I've seen them actually radicalize what you would consider to be almost like right-wingers with this
00:29:14.900
anarchist rhetoric about minimal government or no government and gun rights. And that's why it's,
00:29:21.380
the more I monitor this, the more I feel like the framing of some of this needs adjustment because
00:29:26.720
all of these diverse extremists kind of go into one global seditionist movement is what I call it.
00:29:33.140
All of us, as much as we disagree, have so much more in common with each other
00:29:36.680
than all of these extremists that want to burn everything to the ground.
00:29:41.060
I know, I know, I know. And yet they'll stand together, uh, you know, and plan on killing
00:29:46.760
each other after, you know, they, they win against us. Uh, and for some reason we just
00:29:51.740
can't stand together. Thank you so much, Ryan. I'll talk to you in a couple of hours. Appreciate it.
00:29:58.120
You bet. Ryan, Ryan is going to be joining me on the Charlie Kirk show because of his relationship
00:30:02.960
with Charlie Kirk. He really wanted to announce it on Charlie's, uh, show. Um, and I think it's
00:30:08.440
absolutely appropriate. Um, but it's, it's big breaking news and it is the key that the president
00:30:16.700
will need to begin to take down George Soros and, uh, a lot of his NGOs. Uh, Ryan seems to have
00:30:24.540
the goods, um, and we'll bring that to you in a couple of hours.
00:30:29.040
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:30:38.100
So we arrived about, uh, four, four 30 this morning at turning point USA, and it is an
00:30:42.840
odd place to be right now. Um, the workers hadn't come in. It was very quiet, very dark.
00:30:48.240
Uh, police still had the streets, uh, blocked off. You had to go through security to get
00:30:52.660
here. Lots of security to get here. Uh, but it's about this time, uh, that people start
00:30:57.660
to funnel in and then, uh, start to go and leave things out on the street in front. And
00:31:03.260
it's a large city block, long, uh, large city block. And, um, and there are the, the, the,
00:31:11.500
the sidewalks are probably what? Eight, 10 feet deep, easy, 10 feet. It's incredible. And
00:31:17.240
it just covered with notes and packages and, and, um, and flowers and balloons and teddy bears.
00:31:23.280
And I mean, it's, it's really incredible what's happening. The outpouring absolute outpouring
00:31:27.940
and you're not just seeing it here. You're seeing it all over the country. And as you
00:31:31.780
mentioned earlier, the world really, really quite remarkable. Pat is, uh, here. Um, he's
00:31:38.140
in our Dallas studios as Stu and I are out in Phoenix. Um, we were just talking about the
00:31:43.440
five lies that are going around about Charlie Kirk. And it is, it's, it's reprehensible on what
00:31:49.600
is going on because the people who are saying these things, who are starting these things,
00:31:53.860
they really need that. I mean, they know, they know like Stephen King, really, you really think
00:32:00.920
that Stephen King, you really think that Charlie Kirk is for the stoning of gay people.
00:32:07.160
I will. I do think though, a lot of these people have, uh, an image of everyone on the right.
00:32:16.520
So that shows how, how unbelievably isolated you are.
00:32:20.600
Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Uh, now King, you know, in particular, I think like, I don't,
00:32:25.520
I don't think Stephen King was lying on that. I think he's, you know, I don't think he's the,
00:32:29.640
you know, the sharpest knife in the, in the, in the drawer.
00:32:34.020
He's not an idiot, right? He's not like he informed thoughts, but I think he is so completely
00:32:38.460
isolated in his bubble that, you know, like, you know, if, if someone says something
00:32:42.740
terrible about a person like Charlie Kirk and your image of him is he's basically Hitler,
00:32:50.860
well, what you don't, you don't spend time fact checking it. You're like, oh, of course that guy's
00:32:55.140
that he's that terrible human being. Of course he said something like that. You don't even bother
00:32:59.280
to check it, you know? I mean, and I, you know, it's like, uh, you know, if you, if you ran into a
00:33:04.660
quote from Hitler, you had never seen that was negative on Jews, you, you know, you, as a
00:33:09.640
journalist, you should probably check it, but like, you might think, oh yeah, that was probably true.
00:33:12.920
He said a lot of things like that. That's how they think about people who are like normal
00:33:17.240
conservatives who want lower taxes and less regulation. And that is really, really disturbing.
00:33:24.300
So these lies are really prominent. People really believe these things.
00:33:27.920
So there's a couple of, here's the, here are the five. Uh, the first one is Charlie Kirk said
00:33:33.160
black people were better off in slavery. How big of an idiot do you think you have to be to believe
00:33:38.680
that? Okay. I mean, unless you're Crockett, unless your last name is Crockett and I don't mean Davey,
00:33:44.580
uh, uh, black Americans were better off than slavery. No, that's absolutely no true. Not true. He never
00:33:54.800
said anything like that. Now, um, what he, what you're probably getting this from, and I'm going
00:34:01.880
searching. I mean, I am on a metal, I'm with a metal detector on the beach with, you know,
00:34:06.920
board shorts and sandals and socks looking for anything that kind of even sounds like that.
00:34:12.360
But Charlie Kirk did say that, you know, they were talking about Jim Crow and how evil Jim Crow was.
00:34:18.200
Um, uh, but he said, but if you look at the family, the black family before the passage of the civil
00:34:26.280
rights act, which ended the Jim Crow laws, he said the family was thriving. Um, and it was,
00:34:34.160
it was blacks had a lower divorce rate than whites did in, I think, 1961. Um, they, uh, uh,
00:34:44.160
their families were stronger. Dads were in the homes. They had a lower crime rates. I mean,
00:34:50.600
it, something happened around the time of the civil rights act. Now, my theory is the civil rights act
00:34:57.540
was a, uh, was done by progressives. I mean, these are the guys who said no to the civil rights act
00:35:04.840
just four years before and, and, and worked hard to stop the civil rights act. So what changed in those
00:35:11.160
four years, the assassination of president Kennedy, that changed your mind? Not even, not even. Um,
00:35:19.300
I mean, uh, Johnson was the biggest racist up until he, uh, up until he died. Why would he create the
00:35:25.160
great society? My theory, this is just a theory, but my theory is, is because finally the progressives
00:35:32.560
had a way to, um, keep, um, keep blacks under their thumb and destroy the family and destroy them
00:35:39.300
as people. I mean, the civil rights act and the more of the great society, the great society did
00:35:46.160
more damage to the black family than, than, than anybody could have done outside of Margaret Sanger.
00:35:52.640
I think that's what he meant, uh, by that. It was evil, uh, you know, Jim Crow, et cetera, et cetera.
00:36:02.160
But if you look at the numbers on specifics, family, et cetera, et cetera, blacks were doing better
00:36:09.040
as families before the great society. And I think that undoing is absolutely, um,
00:36:16.820
is absolutely tied to it. And it was intentional myself. I believe that. Um, also the next claim
00:36:24.280
is that, uh, that, uh, Charlie Kirk said black women have inferior intelligence. Uh, no, that's
00:36:30.520
not what he said. Now they're quoting him saying that black women don't have the brain processing
00:36:35.720
power to otherwise be taken really seriously. How, how bad does your image have to be of people
00:36:46.040
on the other side to believe that they could say that that Charlie Kirk could say that?
00:36:50.940
I mean, just like, but if you were to, you know, I think about this a lot of times when
00:36:55.060
I think about how we react to crazy statements on the left, like my reaction, a lot of times
00:37:01.000
when I hear someone saying that is, wait a minute. Yes. He, even if they believe that they
00:37:06.960
wouldn't just blurt it out. What, what is the context of this? I want to know. I want to
00:37:10.780
understand that should be your first question when you want to do a quote like that.
00:37:14.360
Go to Snopes. They rate this one. True. This is true. They read, they rate it. Absolutely
00:37:18.700
true. Until you get to the last paragraph when they say, well, no, we should point out
00:37:24.960
he wasn't talking about all black women. Okay. He was talking about four specific black
00:37:30.420
women. Oh, okay. Oh, so sorry about Joy Reed. Absolutely true. Sheila Jackson Lee. Absolutely
00:37:38.940
true. Ketanji Brown Jackson, Jackson Brown. Absolutely true. Well, she's not a biologist.
00:37:46.280
I mean, come on. She's not. She doesn't know how to, what a, what a woman is. I'm not a
00:37:49.640
biologist. I don't know how to do that. Yeah. Um, and Michelle Obama, which I don't think
00:37:54.560
is true. I think Michelle Obama is actually, uh, rather smart and conniving and, and just
00:37:59.780
flat out evil. Yeah. There's a mix there. I mean, I, Ketanji Brown Jackson, you know, for
00:38:03.700
all, for all of the flaws I would have with her as a Supreme court justice, obviously
00:38:06.820
isn't a moron, but she is, I mean, well, I would say Sotomayor, you could, I would be
00:38:11.880
more confident in saying she's a moron though. I am for, for the job that she has. Ketanji
00:38:17.700
Brown Jackson is a moron. Uh, you know, Joy Reed is a complete idiot. Uh, was it Sheila
00:38:23.460
Jackson Lee? Yeah. Again, those two, I think would fall into the same category. And you're
00:38:27.240
right. Michelle Obama, I would not, I would not call an idiot. Um, but you know, again,
00:38:31.960
criticizing four members of a group does not mean you're criticizing the group. He, he
00:38:38.740
was criticizing people he thought, uh, were unqualified to make statements of, of any
00:38:45.940
intelligence on whatever topic it was that he was talking about. And what they did is
00:38:51.060
they said, he thinks that all black women are just dumb. I mean, that is so incredibly
00:38:56.180
dishonest. Um, Charlie Kirk said that gun deaths, unfortunately worth it to keep the
00:39:01.940
second amendment. This is, this is one I've heard actually a lot. This is one that a lot
00:39:06.800
of people on the left are using as justification for their celebration. He said, you know, uh,
00:39:14.620
well, you just got to deal with the deaths if you want to have a second amendment. And I,
00:39:19.800
you know, I don't know if you have the context. I have, I have, I have his answer right here.
00:39:23.900
Ready? You will never live in a society where you have an armed citizenry and you won't have
00:39:29.660
a single gun death. That's nonsense. It's drivel, but I am, um, uh, I think it's worth it. I think
00:39:38.600
it's worth to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year. So you can have the
00:39:46.280
second amendment right to protect your other God given rights. It's a prudent deal. It is rational
00:39:52.780
to think that way. I mean, and every time if you have a free society, you take risks with it. There
00:40:00.880
will always be people, horrible, horrible human beings that all seem to donate to Democrat causes
00:40:06.500
that will do things like we saw one week ago today. And that is, you know, I, I, again, I can't,
00:40:15.820
you can't speak for Charlie Kirk. He spoke for himself so eloquently, but you know, he, this,
00:40:20.900
what, what, even what occurred last week would not change his mind on that. He even, even he would
00:40:27.220
not say, well, we should, now that something terrible has happened to me and my family,
00:40:30.920
we should overturn the second amendment and people shouldn't have a right to defend themselves.
00:40:35.400
You know, that's how he would feel about it. And he, this is, if anything, pointing to his
00:40:40.580
incredible consistency on the rights that we have in this country. Uh, you know, it is a sad,
00:40:47.660
sad, unfortunate fact about so many things. It's a sad, unfortunate fact about automobile travel
00:40:52.400
that you do have to deal with some automobile accidents when you have, uh, highways where you
00:40:57.780
can drive 55, 65, 75 miles an hour. We all understand that. It's unreasonable. It's unreasonable
00:41:03.380
to think that you could live in a, in a, uh, a society with automobiles and not have some automobile
00:41:09.900
accidents. It is absolutely true. That is exactly what he said about guns. And frankly, the other thing
00:41:15.080
that's important here to understand is if you did eliminate all guns, you would not eliminate all
00:41:21.040
murders. Even if they did in, they did in England. Oh, they did. They're all set. They're all set.
00:41:26.380
There's no murder there. No violent crimes there. I keep reading about them. Is that all false?
00:41:31.400
It's all false. That's, you know, that's, yeah, that's Donald Trump. You know what I mean?
00:41:35.380
Yeah. And it is crazy. Last one, Charlie used an Asian slur. Now I'm not going to use the slur.
00:41:41.920
Obviously, I'm just going to say it's what happens sometimes with armor. Uh, there's a
00:41:47.860
very famous saying about armor that has nothing to do with the Chinese or Asian at all. Um, but
00:41:54.960
I'm not even going to put those together in this, in this context now for you. Uh, you'll
00:41:58.940
have to figure that out. Um, but, uh, the, the thing that's going around is he used that
00:42:04.880
slur to yell at an Asian woman in the audience. Now, again, what kind of monster or how should
00:42:12.920
you should know on, on its face? That's false. Yeah. You shouldn't even have to look it up.
00:42:16.300
I mean, how stupid would Charlie Kirk have to be? Okay. Um, and so, you know, there's,
00:42:22.260
there's nothing, uh, there's nothing like that. Well, I'm sorry. He was screaming something
00:42:27.460
at a woman, uh, when they were talking about capitalism and he was yelling sank.
00:42:40.280
Not the other word. Okay. Okay. Say, and who is that from the young Turk guy from young
00:42:45.680
Turk. Right. Yeah. That's, that's what he was, that's what he was saying. Oh, okay. Gosh.
00:42:50.740
I mean, that's just so bad. You know, like the, uh, the other one was the Stephen King,
00:42:55.360
uh, situation where he quoted some horrible thing that Charlie Kirk said. And again, he admitted
00:43:00.940
eventually, uh, that, that it was false, but it was, it was, uh, he was quoting someone
00:43:06.840
else, uh, in an incident and, and critiquing that position, uh, which was a bad position,
00:43:14.100
but he was, that was, he was bringing it up to quote it and critique it, which is a very
00:43:17.560
standard thing that they've done on the left. I mean, this is a standard, uh,
00:43:20.480
tactic of media matters when you're quoting someone else or you're saying something they'll,
00:43:24.420
they'll act as if you say, you repeat a lie often enough and the public will re will remember it.
00:43:29.080
Glenn Beck is quoting Hitler. Glenn Beck loves Hitler. Yeah. Hitler said that, but that's not who,
00:43:35.200
that's not what I was saying. It had nothing to do with the conversation for the love of Pete.
00:43:39.120
Again, if you had something against Charlie Kirk, you wouldn't need to go to this stuff.
00:43:43.460
If, if, if, if our opinion of Kirk, which was a guy who, who worked hard to debate people,
00:43:50.480
who tried to practice politics and civic life, the right way, who tried to be a shining light for
00:43:57.860
his faith, which was vitally important to him and his family. If that vision of Charlie Kirk was false,
00:44:03.460
you wouldn't need to go to these things. No, you could come up with 50 different things. He said
00:44:07.880
that were really offensive. Yep. Instead, what you come up with are lies because that's what you're in
00:44:13.060
the business of. And, uh, there is a problem. The, we now know, um, and we'll have more on this, uh,
00:44:20.700
later today on the Charlie Kirk show and then, uh, on tomorrow. Uh, but, um, we now know that the
00:44:27.260
Chinese and Russia are involved with disinformation campaigns based on Charlie Kirk, trying to get us
00:44:33.680
to push us into civil war and we know it for a fact now. So just be very careful what you read
00:44:39.420
online and, um, and don't necessarily repeat everything that you see.
