Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen Reports joins the Great America Show to discuss the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, a political icon, a patriot, a man that seemingly is loved by everybody in the MAGA movement, in the Republican wing of politics, hated by the leftist wing because he is a patriot.
00:05:59.920And it comes at somebody's expense, Mark.
00:06:02.080I just want to give the audience an update here.
00:06:04.040This is just moments ago by FBI Director Cash Patel.
00:06:07.280The subject for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody.
00:06:11.200Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with the FBI.
00:06:15.480We will provide you updates when able.
00:06:17.780I just want to preface that with there were some images going around on Twitter of a man in his 50s, 60s, 60s that they had taken into custody.
00:06:28.120It turns out he wasn't the shooter, they believe.
00:06:30.660He was taken into custody for obstruction of justice, and that's what he's been charged with and locked up with right now.
00:06:37.200So I just want to clarify that for the audience.
00:06:39.980They had released the police recordings of the dispatch.
00:06:44.660The man was believed to be wearing a black mask, a black shirt, and jeans with a vest on.
00:06:49.420Of course, masks, Mark, like a coward, because none of these guys have the intestinal fortitude to walk up to somebody's face and address them with an issue.
00:06:56.800It's a man from afar, but you've never seen face-to-face taking a shot at somebody like a coward.
00:07:03.860How much longer are people supposed to put up with this?
00:07:18.280This puts a target on the backs of you and I and everyone else in this country who's speaking for something, who believes for something, that someone maybe on this stream doesn't agree with.
00:07:28.640I've carried a gun almost every single day of my adult life.
00:07:31.360But at the end of the day, if someone's going to shoot you in the back of the head when you're not looking, what good does that gun do you?
00:07:35.940Yeah, out in the open when you're speaking to somebody, going to the kind of events that you and I go to, here's the thing, and I've been saying this, I've said it on your show, too.
00:07:46.740I think Donald Trump is literally the one man who's doing the most to try to fix America.
00:07:51.800But our problems are so big that he can't fix it all.
00:07:55.960Society has to decide that it wants to fix these problems.
00:07:59.540And it might fix these problems extra judiciously.
00:08:13.100And sometimes that happens very, very, very fast.
00:08:16.160And I don't want it to happen, but I also want us to have a better America, one that I can entrust to my children.
00:08:21.560I think what we're seeing is things accelerate very rapidly.
00:08:24.820And I've been predicting that this might potentially come to a head.
00:08:30.400But we're talking about three days ago.
00:08:32.420Imagine people out there talking about a new White Lives Matter movement.
00:08:37.320What's happened just because of the North Carolina killing just in the last two or three days and how it's completely changed the social media landscape permanently.
00:08:45.400People are talking in ways they were not talking about a year ago about black crime statistics and things like that.
00:08:51.300And then to have this happen on top of it.
00:08:53.980Now, listen, Trump, I think, will take strong action.
00:08:56.880They'll probably try to go after the death penalty for this individual, probably even a public execution like they're going to do with a Charlotte killer.
00:09:03.860I really think that's what they're trying to do.
00:09:05.800He might send people into blue cities now, and maybe the blue leaders will resist them.
00:10:27.140And he was very influential with young voters.
00:10:29.720It might fix the issues that we've been talking about, how Zoomers are becoming less conservative and more socialist, but also more economic populist.
00:10:37.660He could have he could have bridged that gap.
00:11:43.480You would think after something like this would happen, at least in the intermediary of it happening, these Marxist networks, these lunatics, these psychopaths on MSNBC and CNN would take a step back and realize that it can happen to anybody.
00:11:57.960It's Charlie Kirk today, but it could be somebody else tomorrow.
00:12:04.120Yet everything to them is politicized.
00:12:06.560Let's take a listen to MSNBC just moments, moments after he was shot, blaming it on Donald Trump, saying Donald Trump is going to use this to his benefit.
00:12:15.760Because as we were just talking about a moment ago with with Alan, after one of the Doge employees was allegedly attacked in Washington, D.C., that's what Donald Trump used as a justification to send in federal troops into Washington, D.C.
00:13:10.460He's going to take advantage of a window.
00:13:12.780And if Democrats are going to run these horrible cities where people can't be safe, then he's going to send the troops in.
00:13:19.320And to his personal advantage, he's not doing it to enrich himself.
00:13:23.440He's trying to keep American citizens safe.
00:13:26.920And if he goes after these networks of people spreading violent rhetoric and hate, listen, I like the First Amendment as much as anybody else.
00:13:33.860And, again, I think that they bear blame and culpability as like what I would expect out of a human with integrity and shame.
00:13:43.120Not necessarily that I think that they can be legally pursued because I just, again, I just don't think our laws allow for that.
00:13:48.980And we don't want laws that can be used against legitimate free speech because we've seen how that gets twisted and only used to protect the establishment.
00:13:57.520And so maybe there's something the FCC can do.
00:14:01.360Maybe there's ties to political organizations and money.
00:14:29.420We've had two failed assassination attempts on President Trump.
00:14:32.140We watched a man be murdered who was turning 32 next month, just had a newborn baby in May.
00:14:37.340And seamlessly the media just acts like nothing goes on.
00:14:40.920But then January 6th happens, Mark, and it's the worst day that these people ever experienced.
00:14:45.580It's not one Republican killed one person.
00:14:48.160There were bad actors there that were sent most likely by the government.
00:14:52.240Yet this was the worst day the country's ever seen since Pearl Harbor.
00:14:56.580Forget about 9-11, which the anniversary is tomorrow.
00:15:01.040I mean, you just look and you have to think, Mark, either these people are sick and perverse people, or they are mentally deranged.
00:15:10.060And I'm not even saying this as a joke because it's hit that point now, Mark.
00:15:14.120When you turn on MSNBC and these people are sitting there with a straight face trying to justify this any way possible, even big old J.B. Pritzker, Jabba the Hutt.
00:15:24.420Let's take a listen to what he had to say just moments after Charlie was assassinated.
00:15:28.540My sympathy to Charlie Kirk's family and to Charlie Kirk, who obviously has, you know, become a target for somebody.
00:15:40.140I don't know whether it's political violence because I don't know who did it.
00:15:43.220I know they seem to have somebody in custody.
00:15:45.920But I will say that political violence, unfortunately, has been ratcheting up in this country.
00:15:51.520We saw the shootings, the killings in Minnesota.
00:15:55.240We've seen other political violence occur in other states.
00:15:59.380And I would just say it's got to stop.
00:16:02.740And I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country.
00:16:06.500I think the president's rhetoric often foments it.
00:16:08.960We've seen the January 6th rioters who clearly, you know, have tripped a new era of political violence.
00:16:22.180I mean, Mark, it's hard to believe I'm going to I'm going to get let you get your get your reaction to get to.
00:16:28.440We've got some of your viewers over on YouTube with super chats.
00:16:31.460We're going to give back to them as well.
00:17:34.280We have John and I haven't figured out how to how to bring them up yet when we do this.
00:17:38.780But yeah, Rubicon has been crossed, but I'm not sure exactly.
00:17:43.460And again, I don't want to conflate the two issues.
00:17:46.240They're different, but also related with the Charlotte killing.
00:17:48.920But these two things back to back are, I think, a really major turning point.
00:17:54.480And I think as far as the Charlotte thing, people have been saying, oh, now white people are going to rise up and there's going to be race rise.
00:18:00.220No, the wheels of justice are turning there.
00:18:03.080This is about how we frame discourse and what we tolerate.
00:18:06.960This isn't about an uprising or a revolution that's going to happen.
00:18:10.200This is about society reordering itself.
00:18:14.100How they talked about things just a week ago are going to be different now.
00:18:17.900And I'll tell you, like, for instance, if it does turn out that the perpetrator in this particular case was transsexual, I'll tell you, like, for instance, if it does turn out that the perpetrator in this particular case was transsexual, I'll tell you.
00:18:31.580We get an echo, for instance, if it does turn out that the perpetrator in this particular case was transsexual, I'll tell you, for instance, if it does turn out that the.
00:19:50.320And I think that we're going to find that when we've been pushed this much, there are things that are going to have to bend and flex.
00:19:58.940And so I think what you'll find is people being a lot more tolerant to things that Trump's going to do that are well intentioned and will help society.
00:20:07.580But a lot of people might scream at, oh, that's not legal or that blah, blah, blah.
00:20:14.320And the courts have obviously been testing the stuff that Donald Trump's already been doing.
00:20:19.100I think there's going to be a lot less tolerance for that.
00:20:21.840We'll see how the Supreme Court lets those people bend and flex.
00:20:25.480We'll see how different layers the district courts tolerate some of these people being radical.
00:20:30.200And we'll see if Trump just decides to ignore a lot of this stuff because, you know, they're his own supporter, you know, people in his own party like Rand Paul are out there attacking him for blowing up narco terrorists in the middle of the ocean.
00:20:55.280And I think they're going to want it more after stuff like this happens.
00:20:58.240Yeah, because everyone knew, Mark, when Donald Trump ran for president this time around, that the gloves are off.
00:21:03.120He was not going to put up with a summer of love 2.0.
00:21:06.400He made it clear before he ran for president, Mark.
00:21:08.340He made it clear just months ago in Los Angeles when these hooligans thought that they were going to destroy cop cars and just cause absolute riots.
00:21:16.620Most of them, not even Americans, let alone should be on the streets in the first place.
00:21:21.900So he's made it clear he's not putting up with it anymore.
00:21:24.420But I think this is so much deeper, Mark, than just on the surface.
00:21:28.340Before I go a little bit deeper into that, you mentioned some of these courts.
00:21:32.520Some of these courts, Mark, are the reason why these people are on the streets in the first place.
00:21:37.560Going to that man who really murdered that girl in Charlotte that we now have the video for it.
00:22:30.140And so that's one the Republicans really need to pick up.
00:22:33.080And Roy Cooper came out like an absolute schmuck and blamed the federal government cutting funding for local law enforcement for that murder.
00:22:42.280When no law enforcement did its job, they arrested the guy 14 times.
00:22:46.580It was the Democrat system in your Democrat city that failed.
00:23:00.920I think this is a moneymaking operation.
00:23:02.840And they realized they could make more money by keeping these people out of prison, as it has been alleged that she benefits from one of her own private companies.
00:23:14.140She is not a you know, she was appointed into this position because she's got friends and said, hey, you'll be part of this moneymaking scheme.
00:23:22.140And so is a Democrat city going to hold themselves accountable?
00:23:32.460In fact, the Democrat mayor just won her primary.
00:23:35.900And so the Democrat mayor that came out and said that horrible press release about this murder is going to be right back.
00:23:43.240And so the Democrat cities are not going to hold themselves accountable.
00:23:47.160And, you know, you have people like Milo saying, well, it's something's got to be done and we're going to have to go in there and fix their own problems for them.
00:23:56.540It would be great if we could do it through legal means, like pursuing them in massive RICO cases or whatever.
00:24:06.500I don't know if we have the time or ability to do that.
00:24:09.660Like we're talking about rapidly closing windows and also rapidly escalating violence.
00:24:13.740Yeah, I, you know, Mark, we sit here and I come on the air every day and do my show.
00:24:18.720You do your show a few days a week and we talk a few days a week.
00:24:22.400If I had the answers, I'd come out here and tell you.
00:24:24.560And if you had the answers, you know, you'd come out and tell the world it's we're stuck between truly a rock and a hard place because you have one party who is for law, order and borders in this country and truth, justice and the American way.
00:24:36.080And you have one party that's just total anarchy, doesn't care what happens, doesn't care what happens to anybody but themselves.
00:24:44.160The polling, I mean, this is your wheelhouse, shows that these people are losing support at record paces.
00:24:51.400They can't seem to save themselves, you know, from their get out of their own way.
00:24:55.920They're walking with their shoes tied together.
00:24:57.740Yet somehow people still vote for these people, yet somehow people still tune into CNN and MSNBC to be brainwashed.
00:25:04.400I mean, they're literally brainwashing people now, Mark, into violence.
00:25:08.980And when the Republicans, when the people on the right want to protest peacefully, they're insurrectionists.
00:25:14.360They go to jail for three years with no trials.
00:25:16.580When the Democrats want to do it, Mark, they're out on the streets with no bail the next day, allowed to do whatever kind of crime they want to do.
00:26:22.780And they did it again with the Charlotte killing.
00:26:25.760There were people blaming her, blaming systematic racism, saying that, oh, well, this guy, you know, the mental health system was unfair to him.
00:26:51.020I think they're being accelerationists.
00:26:52.820And it's gotten to the point where the right is being accelerationist, too, but in a different and more orderly and more legal way.
00:26:58.760So now you have Andrew Tate and Elon Musk donating two and a half million dollars to put up 250 murals in blue cities, like right in the middle of a ghetto probably is where they're going to put these things of the of the murder victim in Charlotte.
00:27:13.560Those things will be vandalized and you will have Democrats vandalizing the image of this beautiful young woman whose life was stolen by black crime.
00:27:24.820And that's what's going to be on the mainstream news.
00:27:28.540And so, listen, I think Trump was trying to unite people behind America first.
00:41:01.160And so these people, if Trump can't fix this, they are going to go to somebody else who will.
00:41:08.160And it's probably going to be somebody like Bernie because they don't want to hear, oh, elect me and I'm going to give you entitlement reform.
00:42:31.280The Republican Party needs to reinvigorate themselves or they're going to get their rear ends beat.
00:42:36.360Like we're about to see right now, a new New York Times-Siena poll has Zohan Mamandani up like 30 points today to promo the pedophile, whatever you want to call him, the sexual assault alleged man.
00:43:16.740And I think what Mamandani will show us isn't what New York City looks like if it's led by a communist.
00:43:23.480It'll show us how communist was New York City City Council already, because if they're not commies and they love New York City, then they will shut this guy down somehow.
00:43:33.740They will have a staffer accuse him of sexual assault.
00:45:55.960And so there's been some resistance out there.
00:45:58.880But now what you're seeing is, again, I think the start of something new, and I don't know how big this movement will go, but people are saying things on the Internet today that only Nick Fuentes was saying a year ago.
00:47:08.880And you and I, I think I've spoken about this before.
00:47:10.960Well, back when you and I were kids, there were things, I'm sure, that pissed us off.
00:47:14.120And we'd either get into a fight, a fistfight on the playground, or you'd go home and cry about it or, you know, bitch and moan about it to your parents.
00:47:22.440And the next day you went to school and it was all over again.
00:47:25.580You know, or if you want to fast forward to adult life, you know, you had a bad day.
00:47:59.840And listen, if you raise dogs and they aren't socialized in the first eight weeks, you're going to have a neurotic dog that attacks people.
00:48:17.460Yes, there's some of it has been the attack on the family unit, the undermining of our society, the attack on Western values, all of it, all of it, all of it.
00:48:42.160Over Slicknard, who are the instigators Democrats?
00:48:44.920I think we went through enough of that earlier on in the show, of these people inciting this violence and this hateful rhetoric for 10 years.
00:54:57.880But you've heard my theories on the fourth turning.
00:55:00.980I think that's where we're going to go.
00:55:02.160And all I can tell you is that things move fast.
00:55:04.900And I don't want to, like, pile on with the negative stuff.
00:55:09.100But there was a really fascinating story out of Zero Hedge on Sunday, September 7th.
00:55:14.960World War III, French hospitals told to prepare for a major military engagement within six months to include stating between 10,000 and 50,000 people are expected to be in hospitals incremental.
00:55:28.200And it goes on to quote the head of NATO who says that everybody needs to prepare to expect a dual assault from China on Taiwan and Russian on NATO territory that could spark a global conflict.
00:55:42.240And so it's really wild how finally after decades when all of the power structures and narratives of this subversive communist agenda all start to crumble.
00:55:54.820Now we're on the brink of World War III.
00:55:56.860And so I think they just can't wait to shove these young people into the meat grinder that is Eurasian mudfields and South Pacific Island hopping in order to fix all of the problems of an establishment that grifted too close to the sun.
00:56:13.360Yeah, I'm still, I'm just like, I'm just in shell shock still, Mark, of the time we're living in right now.
00:56:24.620You mentioned the fourth turning, we're there.
00:56:27.060I mean, we're literally crossing into it with no end in sight either, because it doesn't look like there's anything to stifle what's going on.
00:56:36.040The left is getting worse and the Republicans are getting weaker.
00:56:39.160So it's like, yeah, how does this come to a point?
00:56:43.020And I mean, a civil war, as scary as it sounds, seems to be like the only, it's like, it's like the economy.
00:56:50.380I mean, what's the only way you bring down the rates on things?
00:56:53.160You get a recession, you know, it's the inevitable that you don't want to happen.
00:57:29.200Is this going to be somebody that captures everybody's attention?
00:57:31.800Or if Trump is very effective at calling these people out and forcing his reforms down their throats and marching his National Guard through the streets of Chicago and San Francisco and all these other cities, right?
00:57:47.040It becomes the Democrats game of, well, how far are you going to push Trump?
00:57:53.380Are you going to have your state troopers build a barricade for the National Guard?
00:57:57.600Are you going to have your law enforcement resist arrest if Trump tries to roll up a blue state governor for illegal corruption activities?
00:58:27.380You're either going to let it go until it brings down San Francisco in 1906, or there's going to be a couple of these little things, these little aftershocks that relieve the pressure.
00:58:38.660You know, I'm just thinking, as you mentioned that stuff, this war really started, Mark, along with Donald Trump, with the police, at least here in New York.
00:58:48.700How many police do we see assassinated?
00:58:50.620How many police officers do we see killed?
00:58:52.600How many police officers do we see brutalized?
00:58:55.480And, I mean, it sets the bar pretty high when you're testing the rule of law with police officers to then move on to political pundits and Republicans, you know, across the board.
01:00:34.940And he was dressed in black and he's at large.
01:00:37.040And so this is a little bit different than a guy who reasonably assumed that the Secret Service was going to splatter his brain 10 seconds later to somebody who made, in my opinion, a very calculated political hit on a very influential figure and was successful.
01:01:23.740But, yeah, you saw him scurrying around on the roof.
01:01:25.660You know, it seems to be the normal set of occurrence, Mark.
01:01:29.660A man scurrying around on the roof like a true coward because, you know, they've got to hide from, you know, society because they're, you know, terrified people.
01:01:38.320But, yeah, the police reports were that this this man was wearing.
01:02:02.720Shout out to the New York Yankees giving this scoreboard, the big scoreboard tonight, the Jumbotron to Charlie Kirk and remembering him at the honorable thing to do.
01:02:13.540I guess there are still some good people in this world when you've got so much going on.
01:02:20.440I'm going to try to find this so we can get it up.
01:03:11.760I don't mean to demean, but this is going to be, I think, very influential in the midterm elections, especially in the North Carolina Senate race.
01:03:24.140Trump very predictably came out and said that he is going to push for an execution.
01:03:28.100I don't know if he's going to push for a public execution, but we're going to poll on whether people still support the capital punishment, which they did by a plurality back in 2019.
01:03:36.540And then we're going to see how many people actually saw the picture of the killer and a whole bunch of other questions.
01:03:45.820People need to have the most pain inflicted on them, possibly, Mark, for the trouble that they put society through.
01:03:52.600But the Charlotte thing was so, and even that's the thing, Mark, the mainstream media tried to, one of the networks was trying to, like, justify, well, you know, he's a black guy in a world and she was a white woman who may have never given him a chance.
01:04:06.420First of all, I don't, I think it was a completely platonic situation.
01:04:10.260I don't think there was any sexuality to the thing whatsoever.
01:04:12.820But these people were so perverse that they tried to spin this thing any way possible to try to justify a black man killing a white girl.
01:04:28.640And they'll say, you know, mental health, mental health, even though it's alleged that his tattoos imply that he was a member of his city's bloods gang or whatever.
01:04:41.100I mean, how stupid do they think people are?
01:04:44.680When people feel threatened or angry or dangerous or in danger, they open their eyes.
01:04:49.740Like COVID, I'll tell you this one, too.
01:04:52.980We've been polling on COVID, as you know, and I don't want to, like, hurt us with the YouTube stream.
01:04:58.700But the answer to the question, how likely is it that the vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths?
01:05:36.800And you couple all of this stuff together, John, and whether it be the Ten Commandments, whether it be the men and women's sport, whatever, you couple it all together.
01:05:47.340And it's just been a slug morphing into an anaconda.
01:07:45.940It's the reality of what is behind a barbed wire gate.
01:07:49.300And if you come into my house, you're going to get an M1 Grand in your face.
01:07:52.820Well, not only is he an influencer, an internet influencer, but he built and leads the largest grassroots conservative organization on the right.
01:08:05.320This is going to have implications for sure.
01:10:08.340And I think they largely aren't racist.
01:10:10.140Like right in the middle of June 2020, we asked people, which is closer to your thinking, that black lives matter or that all lives matter?
01:10:29.640This was a terrific live stream, and we appreciate everyone joining it, joining us tonight on Mark's pages, on our pages, on the audio versions.
01:11:30.160I wasn't going to go, but I might consider going to AmFest now.
01:11:33.440I think everybody should consider supporting Turning Point USA and also sort of piggyback on that.
01:11:40.300If you're into it, you can go to givesendgo.com slash arena, I-R-Y-N-A, and donate to the effort to build these murals in Democrat cities of the victim of the Charlotte murder as well.
01:12:15.980And again, I hope they get this scumbag as fast as possible, whoever it is.
01:12:22.600Yeah, he needs to feel the wrath of pain for what he's done to this community and what he's done to Charlie's family.
01:12:30.760I got to know Charlie pretty well through having him on with Lou Dobbs and going to his events.
01:12:36.420And, you know, he's always a very respectable guy to me, always very nice, always very polite.
01:12:41.760I know Lou Dobbs admired him, and Charlie had some really nice words to say about Lou when he passed on.
01:12:47.920And, you know, Charlie's now joining Lou and the gates of heaven to look down upon us in this great country and this wonderful president who's, you know, leading us all through the golden age.
01:13:00.400I know it's, you know, it's a saying these days, but, you know, thoughts and prayers to Charlie, his family, his newborn children who are now going to grow up without a father because of someone who's just a cowardly scumbag lowlife.
01:13:14.900Mark Mitchell, we appreciate you joining us.

01:13:57.100She's going to get her old seat back as the Democrats have lost once again.
01:14:02.860So if I can make one more call to action, if you're going to do anything tonight on this video, especially my followers, what I would love for you to do is go to John Fawcett NY on Twitter and give John a like.
01:14:13.220He is a stand-up guy, great content, awesome show, and he gets ridiculous, ridiculous guests.
01:14:28.100Mark has quickly become one of my best friends.
01:14:31.480I guess we've been doing this for a year now.
01:14:32.940One of my best friends and only friends in this political game, and I'm honored to say that because you don't want to have friends in this.
01:14:38.060You can't trust anybody, and Mark's been down my back about the Twitter game, so I'm going to try to step it up.
