Today on the Matt Wall Show, the left is simultaneously celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk and also claiming that he was murdered by a right-winger, which is a lie.
00:00:08.000
There is now no question that this was leftist, LGBT extremist violence.
00:00:12.800
Not the first case, and it's not going to be the last, and we're going to talk about that today.
00:00:16.480
Also, in the wake of her husband's death, Erica Kirk delivers one of the most inspiring and beautiful speeches you'll ever hear, and I want to talk about that today.
00:00:24.280
Meanwhile, some Republicans are calling for unity, but is that really what we need right now?
00:00:30.880
And as leftists celebrate Charlie's assassination, conservatives are giving them a dose of their own medicine by contacting their employers and getting them fired.
00:00:40.820
Well, I don't really care if it does, honestly, but it doesn't, and I want to explain why.
00:00:44.960
We're going to talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:48.300
A day after Charlie Kirk was assassinated while debating college students in Utah,
00:00:52.220
I said that it was important to gather as much information as possible before drawing any conclusions about culpability.
00:00:59.040
And before implementing the kind of crackdown on left-wing extremism in this country that for many years we've all suspected would be necessary.
00:01:06.540
Well, now, several days later, we have gathered those facts.
00:01:09.720
The assassination of Charlie Kirk was unequivocally an act of LGBT terrorism.
00:01:15.000
Now, more evidence will come out soon, and that's also what I've been told personally from sources who are familiar with the FBI's investigation.
00:01:25.260
Charlie was murdered by a leftist who was in a relationship with a man who identifies as transgender, a man who identifies as a woman.
00:01:32.420
The shooter engraved his ammunition with messages that are commonly used by left-wing Antifa groups,
00:01:38.460
calling Charlie a fascist, as well as a reference to a fetish subculture.
00:01:42.920
Days before the murder, several trans-identifying individuals and people in their social groups posted messages on social media
00:01:49.680
indicating that they were aware that the assassination would soon take place.
00:01:57.560
I really hope someone evaporates him literally.
00:01:59.900
Let's just say something big will happen tomorrow.
00:02:03.360
The account that posted that thread is now suspended from X.
00:02:06.320
Another post from five days before the shooting indicated that something big was coming soon.
00:02:14.040
Well, that's that, and another chud bites the dust.
00:02:21.300
It'd be funny if someone like Charlie Kirk got shot on September 10th.
00:02:26.300
Now, the username of the author of this post, as Cassandra McDonald of Gateway Pundit has pointed out,
00:02:33.900
And coincidentally enough, the man who shot Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson,
00:02:37.160
had a publicly visible playlist of songs by the band Tally Hall on Spotify.
00:02:43.340
Additionally, the shooter's trans-identifying boyfriend, McDonald reported,
00:02:50.520
That's just a sample of some publicly available posts
00:03:00.540
that the actual number of people with advanced knowledge of the attack
00:03:09.040
another post written by someone who was in the same friend network
00:03:12.260
as the trans-identifying man who was dating the shooter
00:03:18.120
And then a pro-trans organization in Utah called Armed Queers SLC
00:03:28.060
logo that features two high-powered rifle rounds
00:03:41.540
where the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder
00:03:47.060
Even people with direct knowledge of the shooter
00:03:49.100
continued to protect him after the assassination.
00:04:00.940
And yet none of the members of this Discord group
00:04:20.220
So the evidence, again, is absolutely overwhelming.
00:04:50.580
to the entire population of Reddit and Blue Sky,
00:05:37.880
The shooter fulfilled part of the left's mission
00:38:37.880
was the violence at the left-wing protesters who
00:38:39.420
showed up because these are the kinds of people
00:38:56.440
Many of us have seen this man bleed to death in
00:39:14.400
Charlie's, you know, of Charlie's influence and
00:40:15.480
swamps. So he does have influence there, but on,
00:40:27.540
comparison is more like, you know, if, if, if, if
00:40:48.100
to happen, God forbid, uh, the very first thing
00:41:08.700
and on and on. It's not both sides. You know, I
00:49:17.480
they wouldn't celebrate if I died. I mean, look
00:51:08.500
Matthew Dowd's firing for his heinous comments.
00:51:33.240
reported citing a source within the Department of
00:51:37.040
publicly said Charlie Kirk deserved to be killed
00:51:39.020
has officially been placed on leave, expected to
00:51:44.220
reports indicate that an advisory board member at
00:51:46.900
the Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burris Charitable
00:51:51.220
Kirk's murder, as was a communication specialist
00:51:53.780
with the Carolina Panthers. A number of others have
00:51:56.200
either been terminated or suspended and calls are
00:51:58.620
still going out for more to come. As I said, these
00:52:01.200
are just a few examples. There have been many, many,
00:52:05.000
many cases and more added every hour of leftists
00:52:08.240
getting fired after publicly celebrating the death of
00:52:11.660
Charlie Kirk. One of the most egregious examples is a
00:52:14.500
nurse at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. She posted
00:52:17.260
F his kids, F his ancestors, especially the bitch who
00:52:20.440
birthed him. She now joins the long list of people who've
00:52:23.940
been fired for expressing sentiments like these in
00:52:26.900
public. They come from, again, all walks of life. Nurses,
00:52:30.180
airline pilots, corporate executives, government workers,
00:52:32.560
teachers. A public school teacher in Canada reportedly
00:52:35.560
showed a video of the assassination to her students and
00:52:39.180
said that Charlie deserved to die and she's now been
00:52:42.160
suspended. Now, it's the second part, the part where these
00:52:45.720
ghouls experience some small measure of punishment that's
00:52:49.100
given rise to a conversation about cancel culture and
00:52:52.100
accusations from the left and even from some on the right that
00:52:55.440
conservatives are now practicing the very cancel culture that
00:52:59.960
they once decried. By calling for and celebrating the firing of
00:53:04.000
people who applauded Charlie's murder, we have exposed
00:53:06.480
ourselves as hypocrites, they say. We're no different than the
00:53:09.740
ones we condemn. We are now the proponents of cancel culture.
00:53:13.680
What happened is free speech, they demand. How can we call
00:53:16.400
ourselves free speech advocates if we're also advocating for
00:53:19.620
people to experience consequences for saying unimaginably
00:53:22.040
heinous things? Well, allow me to explain. There is a fundamental
00:53:29.680
difference between the cancel culture that the left engages in and
00:53:34.280
the quote-unquote canceling that the right is doing in the wake of
00:53:37.540
Charlie's assassination and the left celebration of it. The
00:53:41.260
difference is that the left will cancel you for saying objectively true,
00:53:45.820
good, and normal things. To the extent that the right cancels you,
00:53:50.420
it'll be for saying objectively abhorrent, perverse, and sick things. And
00:53:56.420
this distinction matters. As I've said for years, the problem with the
00:54:00.600
left's attack on speech is not just that they're attacking speech, but
00:54:05.440
that they're attacking true and right speech. They want you to be fired for
00:54:10.880
saying, for example, that men can't have babies and women don't have
00:54:14.460
penises. The problem isn't simply that they're trying to get you fired for
00:54:18.860
saying something. It's that they're trying to get you fired for saying the
00:54:22.800
most basic and true things that it's possible for a person to say. The left's
00:54:28.740
war on speech is not a war just on speech. It's a war on truth. They want to
00:54:33.260
punish truth. And that will always be worse. Obviously, significantly worse.
00:54:40.460
There is a difference in kind between the statement men aren't women and the statement
00:54:48.200
Charlie Kirk deserved to die because he was a fascist, Nazi, racist bigot. What's the
00:54:53.500
difference? Well, the first statement is the most obviously true thing that anyone can
00:54:57.540
ever say. The second statement is a demented, deranged, perverse, sick, evil, wicked, horrendous,
00:55:03.500
outrageous lie that not only smears the good name of an innocent man, but also implicitly
00:55:07.760
encourages violence against the millions of people who agree with his politics. That's
00:55:11.460
the difference. And the idea that we can't advocate social consequences against the latter
00:55:16.540
statement without also accepting or approving of such consequences for the former statement
00:55:21.260
is asinine. The idea that society must treat all speech exactly the same as if it's impossible
00:55:29.980
to distinguish between banal everyday truth and the deranged, hallucinatory rantings of bloodthirsty,
00:55:36.160
sociopathic hobgoblins is totally ludicrous. Now, I don't think that such ranting should
00:55:43.580
be made illegal. I don't think that the people celebrating Charlie's death should be banned
00:55:48.880
by the government from saying those things. But I do think it's good that these people lose
00:55:56.500
their jobs. It's good that they are shamed and humiliated and must live with the repercussions
00:56:01.560
for the rest of their lives. It's good if they wake up every day until they die, wishing
00:56:06.760
they had not said what they said. That's what I want. I want them to wake up every single
00:56:13.580
day and the first thing they think is, my God, I wish I hadn't said that. It took my entire
00:56:19.660
life off the rails. Everything has changed for the worse because I had to go and say the most
00:56:24.980
vile and disgusting thing that anyone could ever say. I want them to be the first thought
00:56:30.380
in their head every day when they wake up. We cannot have a civilized and decent society
00:56:36.700
unless there are severe social consequences for people who express publicly these kinds
00:56:43.720
of sentiments. Okay? Because these people are barbarians. They are savages and should be treated
00:56:51.320
as such. Free speech does not mean that we should act with anything but revulsion and
00:56:56.640
disgust to people who say revolting and disgusting things and who in turn reveal themselves to be
00:57:02.840
revolting and disgusting human beings. I'll take that nurse I mentioned earlier.
00:57:10.040
Just think about this. Upon seeing that a man with a wife and two young children have been
00:57:14.440
shot in the throat on stage, her first reaction was to cuss out his kids and his
00:57:21.320
mother and gloat about the murder. Now, that sort of statement, look, I know we're all desensitized
00:57:30.320
from being on the internet, but you have to understand, I mean, that kind of, that is not
00:57:36.960
just an expression of an opinion. That is a revelation of her character and it is the character of someone
00:57:45.600
who is barely human at this point, barely has a soul. You know, it's, it's, it's, it's a character of
00:57:55.460
someone who is unfit to live among civilized people, of someone who should be shunned and shamed and
00:58:01.900
alienated by society. Not through force of law, not through legislation or legal consequence, certainly not
00:58:10.400
through violence, but through social rejection. Because people who cuss out the children of men
00:58:17.280
who are murdered on live TV deserve to be socially rejected. Because monsters should be treated like
00:58:25.240
monsters and she is a monster. Now the left may now say that even if it doesn't infringe on free speech
00:58:33.200
rights to fire someone for saying something abhorrent, that even so we should have more grace and
00:58:38.140
forgiveness. Well, guys, you should have thought of that before you spent the last 20 years trying to
00:58:46.000
destroy our lives for saying anything that you even vaguely disagree with. You should have thought of that
00:58:51.740
before you danced on my friend's grave and laughed at his grieving widow. No, what you want is for us to
00:58:59.380
grant you radical tolerance and acceptance while you continue to give us no such thing in return.
00:59:08.140
But that deal doesn't work anymore, guys. The deal doesn't work. The deal is over. It's off.
00:59:16.240
We never should have gone along with it to begin with, and now it is over. You will be held to your
00:59:22.720
own standard. You will have your own rules enforced against you. You will be given your own
00:59:29.220
medicine, whether you like it or not. And you will not like it. But here we are. You brought it on
00:59:37.480
yourselves. And that is why, that is why the leftists celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder are today
00:59:46.480
canceled. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.
00:59:51.720
Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
