Summary
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. There is now no question that this was leftist, LGBT extremist violence, not the first case, and it s not the last. And we re going to talk about that today on The Matt Welch Show.

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.
0.70
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.
0.99
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
00:39:56.600
knows who the hell he is and he doesn't mean
0.67
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
00:45:36.980
with them. It's just going after the right.
0.83
00:49:17.480
they wouldn't celebrate if I died. I mean, look
00:50:03.240
knees, begging and pleading. I want you to
0.97
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
1.00
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.
0.97
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
0.98
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.
1.00
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
1.00
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
0.93
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.
