The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1658 - We Aren't Getting The Full Story About Charlie Kirk's Assassination

00:00:00.000 Yesterday, just hours before the district attorney of Utah County formally announced

00:00:04.900 the charges against Charlie Kirk's assassin, and before he ran through some new evidence

00:00:08.820 that authorities had collected, a left-wing journalist named Ken Klippenstein published

00:00:14.200 an exclusive article on his Substack, which happens to be one of the most popular political

00:00:17.880 Substacks in the country. To much fanfare, Klippenstein reported that he had obtained

00:00:22.260 private messages from people who knew the shooter, which were sent on the day that

00:00:27.600 Charlie Kirk was killed. These messages were uploaded to a private server on Discord,

00:00:32.560 which is a communication service that's popular among young people, particularly young people

00:00:36.320 who play video games. Here's one of the screenshots that Klippenstein provided in his article.

00:00:41.440 As you can see, at 3.17 p.m. on September 10th, somebody wrote, Charlie Kirk got shot.

00:00:47.840 And then around 30 minutes later, somebody writes, dead. Roughly an hour after that,

00:00:52.760 somebody else writes, I just saw that video. R.I.P., I guess. Bro didn't deserve to go out like

00:00:58.220 that. Sad. And then according to this screenshot, the messages stop there. No one says anything at

00:01:04.720 all, again, until late the next day on September 11th at 8.57 p.m. And that message comes directly

00:01:12.280 from the shooter. He says he's sorry and tells his friends that he's going to turn himself in.

00:01:16.380 And then on September 12th, this message was posted in the Discord server. It reads,

00:01:22.880 Hey, everyone, if you have not seen the news yet, Tyler's post is true. He was taken into custody

00:01:26.960 earlier today for the shooting of Charlie Kirk. While Charlie Kirk's politics were not acceptable

00:01:31.240 to some, I ask that we all say a prayer for him and his family during these confusing times.

00:01:37.340 Close quote. Now, the rest of the article contains quotes from one of the shooter's friends claiming he

00:01:41.680 was generally apolitical. And then Klippenstein offers this conclusion, quote, Trump and company

00:01:46.620 portray the alleged Utah shooter as left wing and liberals portray him as right wing. But the federal

00:01:51.220 conclusion will inevitably be that he was a so-called nihilist violent extremist, NVE.

00:01:57.920 Now, to recap, some members of the shooter's Discord group shared a small number of screenshots with a

00:02:02.440 popular left wing substack author. The screenshots show that the community was mostly focused on video

00:02:07.820 games and wasn't celebrating Kirk's death in the slightest. Allegedly, the author publishes those

00:02:12.920 screenshots and presents them as proof that the shooter was not actually left wing. Supposedly, he was

00:02:18.720 just nihilistic and, you know, angry at the world. Very transparently, the intent of this article was to

00:02:25.200 deflect any suspicion from Discord and the people the shooter was interacting with on the platform. And

00:02:31.440 presumably, that's why the shooter's friends gave those screenshots to Ken Klippenstein to begin

00:02:35.340 with. But in truth, in reality here, the screenshots raise far more questions than they answer. So

00:02:43.340 let's pull that first screenshot up again. Let's look at this again. After Charlie is shot, according to

00:02:48.860 the screenshot, there's a grand total of five messages on this Discord server written by two people

00:02:54.320 about the assassination. And none of them are incriminating or even controversial.

00:02:59.820 And these messages stop by 5pm. The entire evening of September 10th, after all this had happened, and

00:03:10.260 most of September 11th, the next day until 9pm, no one says anything at all. And then, out of nowhere, the

00:03:16.880 shooter confesses. He basically tells an empty room that appears to be uninterested in the Kirk

00:03:22.640 assassination, that he did it. Now, this is not evidence, as Ken claimed, that the shooter had no

00:03:30.180 political motivations and wasn't operating as part of a coordinated terror plot. It does not exonerate

00:03:35.840 the shooter's acquaintances in any way. It's actually very odd, as far as evidence goes. I mean, it suggests

00:03:41.600 that some messages from this Discord server may have been deleted or redacted before the screenshots were

00:03:47.660 sent to Ken Klippenstein. Which would not be shocking, by the way. I mean, these people obviously

00:03:52.300 have every incentive to make it appear as though they didn't know about this and were not celebrating

00:03:58.800 it and had no hand in coordinating it. Of course, they have every incentive to do that.

00:04:06.460 Or it suggests that they were communicating through a different channel in the interim between the last

00:04:11.580 message from the group and the out of nowhere confession from the killer. And it supports the

00:04:17.260 conclusion that, for one reason or another, some of the influential left-wing voices in the country,

00:04:23.620 as well as close associates of the Sassen, are desperate to hide the shooter's political

00:04:28.580 motivation. And in the process, they're getting very sloppy. Now, I say that because Ken Klippenstein

00:04:35.060 wasn't the only prominent leftist on Substack to clumsily push a narrative like this. Heather Cox 0.96

00:04:40.320 Richardson, who I'm told is the single most popular political commentator on Substack,

00:04:44.420 wrote that Kirk's assassin had embraced the far right. She said that conservative commentators

00:04:50.460 had created a fictional world to argue otherwise. Now, to restate what's happening here, some of the

00:04:56.500 most influential voices on the left, not Reddit trolls, not bots on Twitter, actual people with

00:05:02.840 large audiences are going out of their way to lie about the murder of Charlie Kirk. And it's not just

00:05:08.540 on Substack either. Here's a Jimmy Kimmel show from the other day. Watch this.

00:05:13.460 We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize

00:05:18.100 this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they

00:05:23.140 can to score political points from it. In between the finger pointing, there was grieving.

00:05:29.340 So to review, he says, we hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying

00:05:33.540 to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.

00:05:40.220 Think about how little this statement makes sense. Charlie was a leader, maybe the single

00:05:45.020 most important leader after Trump of the MAGA movement, beloved by MAGA. And now Kimmel is saying

00:05:54.040 that MAGA killed Charlie. On its face, it makes no sense. The only way that Kimmel's line could

00:06:01.840 possibly make any sense whatsoever is if you had no idea who Charlie was. I mean, you have to be

00:06:06.960 ignorant to a chronic degree, either that, or you have to be a committed partisan, someone who 0.96

00:06:11.640 genuinely doesn't care about the truth. And as we're learning, that's a very good descriptor for 0.94

00:06:15.760 many leftists in this country and certainly Jimmy Kimmel's entire audience. As we discussed last week,

00:06:21.400 there was never any evidence supporting the theory that the shooter was a conservative or an

00:06:25.480 apolitical nihilist or any of that. And yesterday when the Utah County DA held a press conference

00:06:31.400 outlining additional evidence that's been uncovered in the investigation, that theory, as flimsy and

00:06:35.920 unsupported as it was, fell apart finally in its entirety. Watch.

00:06:42.980 Robinson's mother stated that the following to police. On September 11th, 2025, the day after the

00:06:51.340 shooting, Robinson's mother saw the photo of the shooter in the news and thought the shooter looked

00:06:57.440 like her son. Robinson's mother called her son and asked him where he was. He said he was at home sick

00:07:09.540 and that he had also been at home homesick on September 10th. Robinson's mother expressed concern

00:07:17.300 to her husband that the suspect shooter looked like Robinson. Robinson's father agreed. Robinson's

00:07:25.400 mother explained that over the last year or so, Robinson had become more political and had started to lean

00:07:33.180 more to the left, becoming more pro-gay and trans rights oriented. She stated that Robinson began to

00:07:41.360 date his roommate, a biological male who was transitioning genders. Now, before we continue with

00:07:49.240 the press conference, I need to say something about the DA's choice of words here. Public officials should

00:07:53.680 not legitimize for any reason the idea that someone can transition between the two genders. This

00:07:59.200 roommate was not in the process of becoming a woman because it's not possible for a man to be

00:08:03.780 to be a woman. We're talking about a gay man who wore furry costumes, apparently, and wrote emo posts on

00:08:10.900 Reddit about how he hated injecting himself with cross-sex hormones. He was destroying his life at a very 0.96

00:08:16.120 young age in service of a lie. When public officials use terms like transition genders, they're saying

00:08:21.760 all that behavior is legitimate. I mean, that's what they are intentionally or not implying. They're

00:08:26.860 giving gender transition the stamp of approval from the Utah district attorney's office, but it's not

00:08:31.120 legitimate. It's disturbing, unnatural, impossible. And if we want to eradicate transgender extremism in 1.00

00:08:41.160 this country and prevent more assassinations like this, then we have to drop the pretense that these

00:08:46.240 gender-affirming procedures, quote-unquote, have any claim to legitimacy whatsoever. There's no excuse 1.00

00:08:51.280 for anyone in a position of authority to say otherwise. Now, getting back to the substance of

00:08:54.840 the press conference, the DA says that over the last year or so, the shooter became more political,

00:08:59.700 leaned more to the left, became preoccupied with transgenderism and gay rights, to the point that,

00:09:05.500 as we know now, he began dating his roommate who was, quote-unquote, transitioning.

00:09:10.960 And that's according to the shooter's mother, who's obviously going to be a reliable source. And

00:09:16.260 later on in communications with his roommate after the shooting, the shooter explicitly stated that he

00:09:22.060 had been motivated by Charlie's political statements. Watch. In one conversation before the shooting,

00:09:27.900 Robinson mentioned that Charlie Kirk would be holding an event at UVU, which Robert Robinson said 0.99

00:09:35.860 was a stupid venue for the event. Robinson accused Kirk of spreading hate. Robinson's father reported 0.99

00:09:45.600 that when his wife showed him the surveillance image of the suspected shooter in the news, he agreed

00:09:51.460 that it looked like their son. He also believed that the rifle that police suspected the shooter used

00:09:58.400 matched a rifle that was given to his son as a gift. As a result, Robinson's father

00:10:04.860 contacted his son and asked him to send a photo of the rifle. Robinson did not respond. However,

00:10:13.120 Robinson's father spoke on the phone with Robinson. Robinson implied that he planned to take his own

00:10:20.260 life. Robinson's parents were able to convince him to meet at their home. As they discussed the

00:10:27.080 situation, Robinson implied that he was the shooter and stated that he couldn't go to jail and just

00:10:32.960 wanted to end it. When asked why he did it, Robinson explained there is too much evil and the guy

00:10:41.020 referring to Charlie Kirk spreads too much hate. This is where, once again, it's reasonable to debate

00:10:47.660 the narrative we're being told and the facts as they appear. Let's put the messages between the

00:10:53.420 trans-identifying roommate and the shooter up on the screen. And what happened is that after the

00:10:59.720 shooting, the shooter texted his furry roommate, his trans-furry roommate, that he needed to read a note

00:11:07.460 that the shooter had placed underneath the keyboard. And then when the roommate reads the note, which

00:11:12.300 confesses that he shot Charlie Kirk, the roommate says, what? You're joking, right? And in response,

00:11:18.100 the shooter writes, quote, I'm still okay, my love, but I'm stuck in Orem for a little while longer yet.

00:11:24.060 Shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I got to grab my rifle still. To be honest, I'd hope to keep

00:11:29.140 the secret till I die of old age. I'm sorry to involve you. The response from the furry gay roommate 1.00

00:11:35.140 is, quote, you weren't the one who did it, right? Answer, I am. I'm sorry. Now, already there's something 0.98

00:11:43.600 more than a little off here. They're not talking like young people in their early 20s. There's no

00:11:49.600 emojis or, you know, shorthand or anything like that. Instead, the shooter is talking like a, you know,

00:11:55.560 like a medieval knight who's late for dinner at Camelot or something. My love, I'm stuck here

00:12:03.100 for a little while longer yet. Is this how people speak to each other in hedonistic homosexual Reddit 0.96

00:12:10.080 relationships? And then he casually mentions, casually mentions the rifle, giving the roommate

00:12:15.320 the opportunity to make it clear that he knew nothing about the assassination. Quote, why did I do it?

00:12:20.720 I had enough of this hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out. How long have you been planning

00:12:26.840 this? A bit over a week, I believe. I'm wishing I had circled back and grabbed the rifle as soon

00:12:32.360 as I got to my vehicle. Close quote. Now, again, not to get too much into semantics and that sort of

00:12:40.060 thing, but, you know, no one refers to their car as my vehicle. And again, that's not how normal

00:12:46.280 human beings interact with one another, especially people this age. You would say, as soon as I got

00:12:51.340 back to my car, right? Not my vehicle. But more importantly, imagine that your roommate and gay 1.00

00:12:58.780 lover has just admitted that he's committed a gruesome assassination. The first question you 0.98

00:13:05.800 would ask probably wouldn't be, oh, really? How long have you been planning that? It couldn't

00:13:13.020 possibly be long enough for me to notice, right? Like, that's just not going to be your first

00:13:18.120 answer. Someone comes in and says, I assassinated this, you know, political figure. How long have

00:13:22.700 you been planning that? Instead, you probably respond immediately with shock and horror, and then

00:13:29.260 you tell him to turn himself in and call the police yourself. I mean, you'd be far too panicked and far

00:13:35.060 too confused to do much more than that. But that's not what happened here. As far as we know,

00:13:38.600 this roommate didn't contact law enforcement, even though a murderer was about to head back to his

00:13:44.600 apartment. Instead, he simply stopped responding to the shooter, who proceeded to make a series of

00:13:48.940 additional statements that incriminated him and him alone. Quote, if I'm able to grab my rifle unseen,

00:13:54.640 I will have left no evidence. I'm worried what my old man would do if I'd bring back, if I didn't

00:14:00.680 bring back grandpa's rifle. I don't know if I had a serial number, but I wouldn't, it wouldn't trace to

00:14:05.500 me. I worry about prints. I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. Remember how I was

00:14:09.860 engraving bullets? The messages are mostly a big meme. Now, this is supposedly an intelligent

00:14:18.020 individual who received a scholarship to a state university in Utah because of his near-perfect

00:14:23.040 grades and test scores, and he appears to be completely unaware that security cameras exist.

00:14:28.560 He also doesn't seem to realize how easy it would be to trace the rifle directly to him

00:14:32.520 if the authorities recovered it. He also doesn't seem to consider the risks involved in writing a

00:14:36.740 confession in, you know, putting a confession in writing, using text messages, literally writing,

00:14:44.480 here's how I hid the evidence in a text message that can easily be obtained by law enforcement.

00:14:50.680 We're supposed to believe that neither of these guys realize that the FBI can obtain your text

00:14:55.940 messages even if you delete them, and it will take them like 45 seconds to do so.

00:14:59.860 Instead, he's casually suggesting that he's going to get away with the single most high-profile

00:15:05.280 political assassination in a generation, and that his biggest concern is explaining the missing

00:15:10.120 rifle to his father, or his old man, as he refers to him. He says he had intended to take the secret

00:15:16.720 to the grave with him, but instead he decided to confess to his roommate within like a few minutes. 0.99

00:15:21.760 Now, this is either extraordinary stupidity, which is written in a very stilted and unnatural 0.99

00:15:26.520 fashion, written in a language that sounds like chat GPT or something, or it's a pre-planned effort 0.99

00:15:32.640 to absolve the roommate and others of any responsibility. Now, those are the two options

00:15:39.960 here, and you're not crazy if you're leaning towards the latter. That's very much what it

00:15:47.600 sounds like, and even if you accept these texts as completely honest and above board,

00:15:50.880 you still have to explain this line, quote, remember how I was engraving bullets? The message

00:15:56.020 are mostly a big meme. Remember how I was engraving bullets? I mean, that's a pretty big red flag

00:16:02.840 as far as red flags go. After all, it's not every day that you come across your roommate engraving

00:16:09.040 bullets with any messages at all, much less messages like, hey, fascist catch. You don't engrave

00:16:17.420 bullets to go hunting or to go target shooting. You don't engrave bullets when you're going out to

00:16:24.980 the range. You don't engrave bullets you might use for self-defense. There would be no point. On

00:16:31.840 the other hand, if you want to send a message after you commit a terrorist attack, it makes perfect sense 0.92

00:16:35.540 to engrave bullets. Like, engraving bullets is something that mass shooters and political assassins 0.79

00:16:42.480 do. And nobody else, ever. So why didn't this trans-identifying roommate ask about any of this? 0.85

00:16:51.000 When, according to his name, he saw his gay lover carving messages into ammunition. 0.90

00:16:57.820 How did he react to that, if he reacted at all?

00:17:02.060 Those are questions that federal investigators have to answer. I mean, every indication we have right now,

00:17:06.520 whether it's coming from these ridiculous Substack articles or the shooter himself, 0.68

00:17:09.900 is that a cover-up is underway. The official story does not make any sense. We're led to believe, 0.65

00:17:18.380 as hundreds of thousands of leftists openly celebrated the murder of a conservative political

00:17:21.860 figure, something that conservatives haven't done in the modern history of this country, that somehow

00:17:26.340 all the people close to the shooter were horrified by what he had done. The Discord server was mortified.

00:17:33.680 The furry roommate was stunned. The furry roommate that had seen him carving bullets was stunned.

00:17:38.100 He had no idea. That's what we're supposed to believe. We're supposed to believe that he was

00:17:42.660 radicalized into left-wing trans-extremism and began plotting the most high-profile political

00:17:49.100 assassination of the century, and did all this without anyone knowing and without his trans-boyfriend, 0.98

00:17:55.160 who lives with him, catching wind of it. Even though the boyfriend literally saw him engraving

00:18:00.620 left-wing extremist messaging into bullets, from a rational perspective, the propaganda is not

00:18:08.260 convincing. I mean, at this point, any honest person understands that Charlie Kirk's assassination

00:18:13.320 was an act of left-wing LGBT terrorism, and that we're being lied to. And to be perfectly clear, 0.50

00:18:23.460 again, again, I have absolutely no doubt that this was left-wing terrorism. That's what this was. This was

00:18:29.940 left-wing terrorism. Left-wing terrorists are the greatest domestic terror threat that we face.

00:18:37.500 They have been killing for years. They killed Charlie Kirk. They will kill again. 0.95

00:18:41.440 But is there a conspiracy involved in this? I think very likely there is. The conspiracy, though,

00:18:52.000 if there is one, is among the other left-wing militants who potentially plotted the attack or knew

00:19:00.360 about it, and then staged these messages and communications after the effect to absolve themselves.

00:19:07.260 Remember, there were trans activists, trans accounts on X talking about this shooting before it

00:19:17.560 happened, which is very, very good indication that it was known before it happened, that there were

00:19:27.540 discussions about it, and yet we're supposed to believe that he didn't discuss it with anybody.

00:19:32.680 I don't believe that. I don't believe that. Was there a conspiracy here? I think all of the

00:19:42.800 evidence and common sense points to, yes, a conspiracy, a far more wide-ranging conspiracy

00:19:48.240 among left-wing militants. That is the conspiracy that I find very plausible and which must be

00:19:56.060 investigated. And it's very easy to see, it's a very plausible scenario, that he had help and he

00:20:09.500 had coordination with other militants. And the plan after the fact was that he was going to take the

00:20:15.360 fall. And so he staged these communications that they knew would be found. And that's why it sounds,

00:20:22.460 that's why, that's why, that's why, that's what it sounds like. It sounds like this is exactly the

00:20:27.040 conversation you would have if you're trying to check all the boxes to absolve this other guy

00:20:32.820 and put it all on yourself. Meanwhile, the narrative machine is adapting. They're moving away from

00:20:39.840 specific factual claims and entering the realm of perverse and deranged attempts at emotional

00:20:44.560 manipulation. Here's ABC's Matt Gutman, for example. Watch.

00:20:47.680 We have seen an alleged murder with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon,

00:20:56.300 where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it. But also, it was very touching in a way that I

00:21:01.340 think many of us didn't expect. A very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect's

00:21:07.580 roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate who was transitioning,

00:21:13.420 calling him my love, and I want to protect you, my love. So it was this duality of someone who

00:21:19.020 the attorney said not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in

00:21:24.220 front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And on the other hand,

00:21:28.600 he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner. So a very interesting and, as Pierre said,

00:21:33.760 riveting press conference, David.

00:21:35.800 He's genuinely moved by these text messages between the cross-dressing furry roommate and the murderer who 0.97

00:21:40.920 just executed a leading conservative figure in front of thousands of students, including children.

00:21:45.660 He's acting like it's a, you know, classic love story. The tale is old as time.

00:21:49.840 As the assassin discussed hiding incriminating evidence and demonstrating precisely zero remorse

00:21:54.060 or sympathy for the man that he just murdered, ABC News reporter Matt Gutman was touched.

00:21:58.900 He was moved by the duality of the messages. Of course, there's no duality here at all. These messages are evil.

00:22:05.540 Whether you take them at face value or not, they reflect an ideology of hedonism and violence and murder

00:22:13.980 that is fundamentally incompatible with Christianity and Western civilization that indeed is bent on the 0.93

00:22:19.540 destruction of Christianity and of Western civilization. The shooter and his trans boyfriend, 0.98

00:22:25.800 you know, they weren't shacking up to glorify God. They didn't do that to bring any joy or new life

00:22:32.760 into the world, but in order to commiserate, to hate, to bring others down to a level of their 0.99

00:22:38.020 miserable, pathetic existence. And that's exactly what they did. That's why one member of this pair, 0.99

00:22:44.060 at least one member, at least, just extinguished one of the leading Christian voices in the entire

00:22:50.840 world. But at ABC, the same network where Jimmy Kimmel works, by the way, incidentally,

00:22:55.020 they're not horrified by any of this. They find it thrilling. They can't get enough of it.

00:22:59.040 That's right. Ten minutes after this segment aired, the same reporter doubled down. And in some ways,

00:23:03.980 this segment's even worse than the first one. Watch.

00:23:06.640 Children were present. Children witnessed this. Children were put in harm's way. And that was

00:23:12.400 something that obviously is aggravating here. And that's one of the reasons that the suspect,

00:23:16.020 in addition to the alleged murder being political in nature, is facing the death penalty. They're going

00:23:21.680 for the death penalty. And on the other hand, there is this duality of a very, a portrait of a very

00:23:26.860 human person, a very human experience from this entire family. As you mentioned it, the mother

00:23:32.360 who essentially discovered that it was her son who had done this, the kid who had got a 34 out of 36

00:23:38.900 on the ACTs, who had a 4.0, who got a full ride to college here, that that kid was the one who

00:23:45.220 allegedly perpetrated. She saw those pictures and said, identified him essentially. And then those text

00:23:50.740 messages. And I don't think I've ever experienced a press conference in which we've read text messages

00:23:55.220 that are A, so fulsome, so robust, so apparently, allegedly self-incriminating, and yet, on the

00:24:00.600 other hand, so touching, right? With the suspect reaching out to his roommate, who is allegedly his

00:24:06.180 boyfriend, who we understand, you know, identified as male at birth, now identifies as female. And the

00:24:14.780 terminology he used, he was trying to protect him. He kept calling him, my love, my reason for doing

00:24:19.140 this is to protect you, you know, but also asking him to delete the messages and not speak to law

00:24:25.200 enforcement. So there's this, this heartbreaking duality that we're seeing very tragically playing

00:24:30.100 out. After his report, no producer got in his ear and told him to knock it off. No one at ABC had any

00:24:36.580 issue with what he said. So he said it again, with even more emphasis this time. He's happy to wax poetic

00:24:42.600 about a murderer's standardized test scores and his touching conversations right after he shot Charlie

00:24:48.460 Kirk to death. All these people need to be taken off the air immediately. Jimmy Kimmel, Matt Gutman,

00:24:54.880 all these people should not be allowed on the air by their networks. I mean, it is irredeemable.

00:25:03.240 And that's not just because of their response to the murder of Charlie, although by itself,

00:25:07.100 that would be more than enough. It's because, as everyone can now see, corporate outlets like ABC

00:25:11.280 go out of their way to hide the truth about transgenderism and leftist extremism and the violence 1.00

00:25:17.820 that it unleashes on America every day. They exist to hide the truth. Here's just one example of a

00:25:23.920 story that they buried. This is from about a month before Charlie's assassination. Watch.

00:25:28.480 A Washington City woman accused of killing her parents is back in the headlines, this time

00:25:33.380 appealing directly to the Utah Supreme Court. 29-year-old Mia Bailey is facing 10 felony charges,

00:25:39.600 including two counts of aggravated murder and one count of attempted aggravated murder after the

00:25:44.600 shocking deaths of her parents, Joseph and Gail Bailey. Authorities say Bailey also attempted to 0.99

00:25:50.300 shoot her brother that same night. She was arrested the next day and has remained in jail ever since,

00:25:55.720 held without bail. Bailey, a transgender woman who legally changed her name and gender in 2023,

00:26:02.700 now finds herself at the center of a legal twist. In late June, Bailey submitted a written request to

00:26:08.700 the judge appealing to the state's decision not to seek the death penalty. Did you hear about this

00:26:13.940 story? Probably not. No one did. I only saw it because of, you know, a random X account posted the

00:26:18.780 footage. A cross-dresser in Utah was supposedly transitioning from male to female. He decides to

00:26:27.440 shoot both of his parents to death. After being arrested, he shows no remorse at all. And then when 0.98

00:26:32.940 the state announces that it won't pursue the death penalty, he files a motion requesting that the state

00:26:37.400 change its mind and execute. This demon actually wants to be put to death. And that's an unusual 0.99

00:26:44.800 motion, to say the least, kind of thing that in a sane society might get some coverage and some

00:26:48.400 attention. But no one talked about this case. Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Gutman certainly didn't talk about

00:26:52.660 it, and we all know why. The vast majority of trans violence goes unreported. Unless trans-identifying 0.94

00:26:59.420 individuals cause mass casualties at schools, churches, or conservative events, which they're doing

00:27:05.060 with increasing frequency, as you've probably noticed, then no one hears about the murders that

00:27:09.880 they're committing against family members or other individuals that they know personally.

00:27:14.680 This is an epidemic of violence that's being hidden deliberately. The Trump administration has the

00:27:20.300 opportunity right now to dismantle this threat. The entire industry of transgenderism must be outlawed. 1.00

00:27:26.200 No healthy individual should ever be injected with cross-sex hormones, much less mutilated ever again. 0.98

00:27:30.400 And the terror cells that openly advocate for murder on platforms like Reddit, Blue Sky, Discord,

00:27:37.320 must be shut down. Everybody involved hauled to prison. That's how you prevent these militants from

00:27:43.800 coordinating and finding affirmation in their delusions. That's how you prevent them from killing

00:27:48.880 any more of us. One of the many things Charlie accomplished better than anyone else was to have the

00:27:55.140 kind of discussions that aren't allowed on major television networks or social media platforms.

00:27:59.120 So we're going to end with this. It's a clip from one of Charlie's recent campus debates about four

00:28:02.760 months ago. A sociology professor walks up to the microphone. He asks Charlie what Donald Trump is

00:28:07.920 doing to improve the lives of students. And here's how Charlie responded.

00:28:11.960 What I would love to hear from you, genuinely, is what you believe the Trump administration has done

00:28:17.160 in these first four months that is making the economic futures of these young people better.

00:28:22.180 Yeah, I mean, look, he's been in office for like, what, 80 days, but quite a lot. Number one,

00:28:26.820 the price of oil is already down. So it's easier for everyone here to be able to drive home. The

00:28:30.020 gas is going to be cheaper, which also will lower inflation. Number two, a tax bill will hopefully

00:28:36.240 pass, which is no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, largest middle class tax cut in history. So

00:28:41.040 everyone here that's going to have a job where overtime is incorporated, they'll be able to keep

00:28:44.880 more of their money. Number three, we're opening up federal lands to build more homes, which is a great

00:28:49.560 thing because home ownership is way inaccessible for a lot of people in this audience. And it's

00:28:54.400 going to take some time. And one of the main reasons why President Trump won is because we

00:28:58.720 were able to move the youth vote rather significantly and substantially because the Democrat

00:29:04.160 party, A, took younger voters for granted. I think we can agree on that. Absolutely. And B,

00:29:08.840 they did not have an optimistic, hopeful agenda for home ownership, for getting married and having

00:29:13.820 children in this country. So I would like to see the Trump administration go even further

00:29:18.640 and make it so that every young person in this country can have accessibility to be able to own

00:29:23.440 a home. I think they should prohibit major funds like BlackRock from buying up private family homes

00:29:30.020 so that we have to compete against them. And I'll just do another thing I'm privately lobbying for

00:29:35.640 and publicly, because I'll say it here, is I don't think the Chinese Communist Party should be able

00:29:39.820 to buy up farmland in the western part of the United States. Absolutely. And with that,

00:29:44.780 single family homes. So that's just some of the ideas here. Sure. Sure. So can I respond? I actually

00:29:51.540 agree with most of what you're saying. You can tell from the applause that by and large, young people

00:29:56.120 want to hear exactly what Charlie is saying. They want an administration that will make housing more

00:30:00.640 affordable. They want an administration that will stand up to China and BlackRock and the big 0.95

00:30:04.600 institutional buyers of suburban homes. They want cheaper gas, so they're commuted and more manageable.

00:30:09.340 These are all proposals that for the typical leftists would seem to align with their agenda.

00:30:14.780 They're certainly not anything like what you would hear from Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan or George Bush

00:30:20.580 back in the day. What Charlie is saying is more populist than anything else. Bernie bros would

00:30:25.760 endorse every word of it. As you saw in that footage, even the sociology professor was on board with

00:30:31.360 what Charlie was saying. And maybe that explains why ABC and many other corporate networks have decided

00:30:36.240 to defame Charlie in death. Maybe that's why they're deliberately inciting LGBT terrorism and 1.00

00:30:41.320 celebrating it when it happens.

00:30:44.780 Charlie was resonating with a wide swath of people, really across the political spectrum.

00:30:52.820 That's what made him so dangerous. And he actually believed in free expression and advancing the

00:30:57.580 interests of people who had no voice. That's why he spent so much time on college campuses listening

00:31:01.800 to random college students recite their orthodoxy and debating them with respect and patience in every

00:31:07.780 single case. He didn't have to do that. He had much more important people he could be

00:31:13.380 talking to. He could have spent his whole career speaking to millionaires and billionaires, but he

00:31:17.980 didn't. Unlike Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren or Adam Schiff, he actually cared what no name

00:31:24.080 18 year olds had to say because he recognized their importance, not simply as voters, but also as human

00:31:29.240 beings with inherent value. That's why he appeared in public so often in wide open venues. And that's

00:31:35.940 why he was murdered. It's been a week since that day. The official narrative that the media and leftist

00:31:41.800 mouthpieces are trying to push remains incoherent. The text messages don't make any sense. Some of the

00:31:48.800 major news networks have decided to glorify the killers. Many leftists are openly celebrating Charlie's

00:31:54.920 death. This is not sustainable and it's not tolerable. The administration must demonstrate

00:31:59.500 clear and discreet progress in dismantling left-wing terror organizations, starting with the cult

00:32:06.040 of trans ideology. And it needs to do so immediately. The opportunity is there. If the last 24 hours have 0.79

00:32:16.160 made anything clear, it's that these people are panicking. They're desperately trying to come up with

00:32:20.620 some new defense or distraction, however implausible it may be. They know the hammer is coming

00:32:25.500 down. And now it's time to deliver the blow they're expecting and the one they deserve.

00:32:32.340 When was the last time you bragged about your wireless company? Like, did you know my wireless

00:32:36.320 company gave away a thousand American flags to deserving vets and forgave $10 million in veteran debt?

00:32:42.280 Did you know my wireless company raised almost half a million dollars to prevent veteran suicide?

00:32:45.880 When your wireless company is PureTalk, there's a whole lot to brag about. You can even brag about

00:32:50.640 the coverage you get with PureTalk, a 5G network that is insanely fast, dependable, and secure.

00:32:55.620 And you can brag about how much money you save with PureTalk. Unlimited talk text and 15 gigs of high-speed

00:33:00.380 data is just $35 a month with Mobile Hotspot. It's important to support companies that support you

00:33:05.980 and your values, and PureTalk does just that. It's one of the many reasons why I love PureTalk. It's time to

00:33:11.760 switch to my wireless company, PureTalk. But if you need another reason, something you can really brag

00:33:16.360 about, PureTalk is the only wireless company that gives you a one-year free membership to Daily Wire

00:33:21.300 Plus. When you go to puretalk.com slash Walsh, again, choose a qualifying plan at puretalk.com slash

00:33:26.940 Walsh and relish your free one-year membership to Daily Wire Plus. PureTalk, wireless worth bragging

00:33:33.480 about. We're going to go right from the opening to the cancellation today. It'll be a slightly abbreviated

00:33:39.140 show. And I want to talk about this. The assassination of Charlie Kirk was one of the

00:33:47.680 most direct and consequential attacks on the freedom of speech in American history. And

00:33:51.600 regardless of your political beliefs, that's undeniable for Christians and conservatives in

00:33:55.980 particular. The assassination was the latest and most horrifying of many, many recent efforts to

00:34:00.320 undermine our fundamental civil liberties. Christians have been arrested for praying peacefully outside of

00:34:04.960 abortion clinics. They've been punished for refusing to bake cakes for gay weddings, for refusing to 0.96

00:34:08.880 fund contraceptives for employees. And now, in a very public fashion, one of the most prominent

00:34:14.140 Christian voices in the country was gunned down for expressing his political views and his faith.

00:34:20.860 Now, in the wake of Charlie's murder, I said something that I still believe is true.

00:34:25.080 I still very much believe. Which is that on the right, and only on the right, now is the time for unity.

00:34:32.860 And I say only on the right, because that's the only place where there can be unity. There cannot be

00:34:38.440 unity with the left. It is literally impossible. They want us dead. They want to kill us. And even if

00:34:45.900 they didn't, we have nothing in common in terms of our values and beliefs and priorities.

00:34:54.720 We have no common ground. At all. None. We cannot agree on even what universe we live in.

00:35:02.860 But on the right, there needs to be unity. We have to put aside any internal squabbling or

00:35:07.220 vendettas that we might have on our own side, and we have to focus instead on crushing left-wing

00:35:12.080 extremism, including the cult of trans ideology. We have to pursue the billionaires who fund this 0.89

00:35:17.080 extremism, the NGOs that launder the billionaires' money, the doctors and hospitals that mutilate

00:35:22.360 patients for ideological and financial reasons. This has to be a coordinated and focused effort.

00:35:26.820 There's no room for any distraction or counter-signaling. And it's not an easy task.

00:35:32.800 Our opponents are extremely well-funded, very powerful. But if we cannot accomplish this,

00:35:39.120 then very soon the right to freedom of speech will become a dead letter. If it's not already,

00:35:43.860 the collapse of our constitutional order will follow. And therefore, a unified right is more

00:35:48.620 important than it's ever been. If we're going to have any chance of victory.

00:35:51.660 Now, at the same time, unity is impossible if some conservatives, particularly conservatives in

00:35:58.080 positions of power, don't grasp the fundamental goals of our movement. And that's why, although

00:36:04.060 it's obviously not an ideal situation, I wish we didn't have to do this right now, we do need to

00:36:10.940 talk at some length about the recent remarks of Pam Bondi, the attorney general, particularly what she

00:36:16.620 said on a podcast hosted by Katie Miller, who's the wife of top White House advisor Stephen Miller.

00:36:20.920 Now, you may have seen portions of this interview online, but I'm going to play footage with some

00:36:26.060 more context. Put bluntly, these remarks, along with her job performance in other areas, disqualify

00:36:31.600 Pam Bondi from serving as the attorney general of the United States. They make it very clear that she

00:36:35.740 is not equipped to lead the war on left-wing domestic terrorism that must urgently be waged.

00:36:41.800 And when I talked about unifying on the right, I did, as you remember, make an explicit exception for

00:36:46.520 politicians and public officials. And this is why we still need to be able to criticize them

00:36:50.040 when they drop the ball. And Pam Bondi is dropping the ball egregiously. 0.53

00:36:55.880 So here's the footage. Watch.

00:36:58.180 These universities are complicit in allowing conservatives to be harassed on campus.

00:37:02.920 And what happens when you allow a university to harass

00:37:05.760 conservatives and don't expell or don't take an action is what happened last week.

00:37:11.340 It is. And, you know, on a broader level, the anti-Semitism. What's been happening at college

00:37:17.080 campuses around this country is disgusting. It's despicable. And we've been fighting that. We've 0.51

00:37:22.020 been fighting these universities left and right. And we're not going to stop. There's free speech

00:37:27.280 and then there's hate speech. And there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened

00:37:33.520 to Charlie in our society. Do you see more law enforcement going after these groups who are

00:37:40.840 using hate speech and putting cuffs on people so we show them that some action is better than no action?

00:37:46.300 We will absolutely target you, go after you if you are targeting anyone with hate speech,

00:37:54.880 anything. And that's across the aisle. I mean, look what happened. Think about Josh Shapiro.

00:37:59.400 What happened to Governor Shapiro? I talked to Josh multiple times. Democrat, governor, Jewish.

00:38:07.000 They firebombed his house while his wife and children were sleeping upstairs. It's a miracle. 1.00

00:38:13.900 Nothing worse happened to. It's a miracle that nothing happened to Josh and he and his family are safe.

00:38:19.780 This should not need to be said. But the concept of hate speech should never be invoked

00:38:26.640 by anyone, much less a conservative and much less a conservative who's the highest law enforcement

00:38:35.920 official in the United States of America. Hate speech is not a real thing. Hate speech is not a

00:38:41.600 valid legal category, as Charlie Kirk himself argued. Hate speech is, if it's anything, it's protected

00:38:50.480 speech, period. You can say hateful things. You have the legal right to say hateful things.

00:38:55.840 You could say the most hateful, bigoted thing you want to say. And the government has no right to

00:39:01.600 punish you for it. Now, you could be, there could be social consequences. There could be cultural

00:39:06.540 consequences. Other people can decide that they don't want to associate with you anymore because you say

00:39:13.060 horrible, vile things and revealed yourself to be a horrible, vile person. That can happen, obviously.

00:39:18.940 But, uh, but, uh, but the, the government cannot punish you on the basis that what you said was

00:39:27.280 hateful. You can say hateful things. You can say hateful things about me. You could say hateful

00:39:34.400 things about, about Christians and conservatives. You can say hateful things about homosexuals. 1.00

00:39:40.280 You can target anyone you want with your hateful speech. It is your constitutional right to do so. 0.99

00:39:48.280 Again, there might be social consequences, but there should be no legal consequences.

00:39:53.680 And the alternative, as we see in authoritarian regimes like the UK, Canada, or North Korea,

00:39:58.340 is that legitimate political discourse will inevitably be labeled hate speech by the people

00:40:03.060 in charge. If I recorded my podcast, this very podcast in London, I'd be arrested by now. They're

00:40:10.300 dragging comedians and single mothers to prison because they oppose transgenderism and open borders.

00:40:14.500 That's what hate speech means in practice. It means suspending the freedom of expression. It means

00:40:18.640 forcing people to say things that they know are false. At the White House, Stephen Miller, who has

00:40:25.140 vowed to dismantle, uh, left-wing terror groups following Charlie's assassination, understands this very well

00:40:30.120 without mentioning Pam Bondi by name. He put, he basically put her on blast essentially, uh, saying

00:40:36.120 quote, the path forward is not to mimic the ACLU of the mid nineties. It's to take all necessary and

00:40:40.400 rational steps to save Western civilization. That's about as clear as it gets. Stephen Miller, who has

00:40:45.860 been absolutely excellent through all of this, by the way, and through Trump's whole term, absolutely

00:40:50.080 great. He understands that hate speech is a concept that was invented by the left for the purpose of

00:40:57.540 silencing conservative voices. It's a concept that's emboldened extremists, including LGBT terrorists.

00:41:04.480 After all, when the government says it's hateful to affirm the truth, it legitimizes some of the 0.85

00:41:09.260 most deranged and psychotic members of society. None of this should require any explanation for

00:41:15.020 anyone, much less the attorney general, but here we are. The day after this podcast aired, Pam Bondi

00:41:19.740 attempted to clean up her remarks in a post on X. Here's what she wrote, quote,

00:41:23.440 hate speech that crosses the line into threats of violence is not protected by the first amendment.

00:41:27.460 It's a crime. Uh, it is a crime for far too long. We've watched the radical left, normalized threats,

00:41:32.360 calls for assassination and cheer on political violence. That era is over. Free speech protects

00:41:36.660 ideas, debate, even dissent, but it does not. It will never protect violence. It is clear that this

00:41:41.520 violent rhetoric is designed to silence others, uh, others from voice and conservative ideals.

00:41:46.240 Now, most of this post is correct. Threats are not protected under the first amendment,

00:41:53.020 inciting, like inciting violence is in calling people to commit violence against some other

00:41:57.120 person is not protected by the first amendment. And leftists are attempting to silence conservative

00:42:02.700 speech using threats of violence as well as actual violence. But in her post, Bondi still uses the

00:42:07.320 term hate speech as if it's a real thing. And that's completely unacceptable and frankly embarrassing.

00:42:12.820 Hate speech is, is hate speech is distinct from threats. Threats are threats. You don't need to

00:42:18.000 use the word hate speech when you're talking about threats. Just say threats. Hate speech is an

00:42:24.180 un-American totalitarian concept that should never be endorsed in this country, period.

00:42:29.740 Now, if you're tempted to make the argument that Bondi slipped up twice,

00:42:34.120 she should be given another chance. Try answering this question. What has Bondi accomplished while in

00:42:38.320 office? I mean, what name a single achievement, name one thing she's done, which would suggest

00:42:43.980 that she's capable of dismantling Antifa and the trans industry and the LGBT terror cells that are 1.00

00:42:49.560 celebrating Charlie's assassination. Let's give me one example. You probably can't because everything

00:42:56.660 Bondi has done has been a monumental failure. She botched the Epstein investigation as well as,

00:43:00.880 as we all know, she claimed the DOJ had uncovered tons of evidence in the FBI's New York field office

00:43:05.420 that incriminated a lot of people and then told us that we can't see any of it because it's too

00:43:09.800 graphic. She claimed she had a client list on her desk and nothing, you know, and then, and then

00:43:13.740 we're told that there was no list. She staged that embarrassing and incomprehensible stunt with the 0.52

00:43:17.640 Epstein binders. And now in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder, she's talking about arresting people for

00:43:22.300 hate speech. And by the way, not that that it's the most important part of her response, but Josh

00:43:28.080 Shapiro's house was not burned down because of hate speech. It was burned down because of a deranged

00:43:32.340 leftist who was upset about Gaza decided to commit an act of domestic terrorism. The burning of Josh

00:43:37.980 Shapiro's mansion was yet another example of left-wing violent extremism. And here's the key

00:43:43.000 point. No one on the right celebrated the attack on Josh Shapiro's residence, not a single person.

00:43:48.020 It wasn't remotely like the response to Charlie's assassination. There's just no comparison here.

00:43:53.700 And while we're at it, the lunatic who killed Melissa Hortman in Minnesota was a Tim Walls appointee, 0.91

00:43:58.280 a psychotic who says that Tim Walls hired him to kill her. The guy who hit Paul Pelosi with a hammer 0.88

00:44:05.920 lived in a Berkeley commune with BLM signs right out front. These were not right-wing attacks either.

00:44:12.540 And once again, they certainly were not celebrated by the right.

00:44:16.820 But Bondi wants to both sides this whole thing, even though it's abundantly clear that political

00:44:21.260 violence in this country only ever goes one way. And that's not all. When it comes to embarrassing

00:44:25.100 herself, Pam Bondi has been very busy lately. In case you missed it, a couple of Office Depot

00:44:29.840 employees refused to print a sign honoring Charlie Kirk for a memorial service the other day. And

00:44:34.740 they said they wouldn't print the signs. The employees who looked about as grotesque and

00:44:39.960 miserable as you'd expect claimed that the signs were propaganda. Office Depot responded by firing

00:44:45.840 one of the employees and clarifying that the signs were not propaganda and that they could be printed.

00:44:49.920 And here's how Pam Bondi responded to that incident. Watch this. 1.00

00:44:54.060 That's horrific. It's free speech, but you shouldn't be employed anywhere if you're going

00:44:57.660 to say that. And employers, you have an obligation to get rid of people. You need to look at people who

00:45:02.060 are saying horrible things and they shouldn't be working with you. Businesses cannot discriminate.

00:45:07.600 If you want to go in and print posters with Charlie's pictures on them for a vigil,

00:45:11.560 you have to let them do that. We can prosecute you for that. I have Harmeet Dillon right now in our

00:45:16.260 civil rights unit looking at that immediately that Office Depot had done that. We're looking

00:45:21.200 at that. Now, to be clear, the Office Depot employees who refuse to print the sign for

00:45:26.580 Charlie's memorial are scumbags, horrible human beings. That doesn't mean that the federal 0.99

00:45:32.380 government can force Office Depot to print the signs. That's not the job of the federal

00:45:38.260 government. Just like a Christian baker doesn't have to bake a cake cake, bake a gay wedding cake if 0.99

00:45:42.960 he doesn't want to. Office Depot doesn't have to print a sign for a Charlie Kirk memorial if they

00:45:49.580 don't want to. It's possible for people to do horrible things without the federal government

00:45:56.320 getting involved. And most importantly, conservatives have fought for decades with some very significant

00:46:06.900 success to secure the right to refuse service to anyone. We have been beating this drum over and

00:46:15.020 over and over again for years. This is freedom of association. It's freedom of speech. And now

00:46:20.860 Bondi is attempting to unilaterally just roll back all of that after years and years of conservatives

00:46:26.860 very clearly and explicitly saying that businesses have the right to refuse service.

00:46:31.500 Now we have Bondi claiming that in fact they don't. That if you want a flyer printed, you have a right

00:46:38.620 to have it printed and the printing place has no right to not print it. That's what she's claiming

00:46:44.800 and it's total nonsense. It's just nonsense. It's also egregiously unnecessary, okay? The Office Depot issue 0.60

00:46:55.380 was already handled by conservatives using our free speech. It's been handled. It's been handled

00:47:05.860 exactly the way that we said these issues should be. What have we been saying for years? For years,

00:47:10.560 we've been saying, well, if a business doesn't want to bake a gay cake, they shouldn't have to. And then 0.94

00:47:14.620 the left says, well, what if they refuse service to you? Should they be allowed to do that? Yes,

00:47:18.500 they should. I don't think they should, right? I wouldn't agree with it if they refuse service to

00:47:25.600 me from my political views, but yeah, they should have that right. Well, would you go then complain

00:47:31.080 and tell everyone? Yeah, maybe I would. I mean, then I have the right, if I get refused service,

00:47:35.520 they have the right to do that. I have the right to go and tell everybody that, hey, this company over

00:47:40.820 here, if you're conservative, they hate you. And so you shouldn't support them. I have the right to do

00:47:45.180 that. That is totally, I'm not using force. This is not the government imposing anything.

00:47:50.420 This is them with their own freedom in the free market saying they don't want to serve me. And

00:47:54.040 then it's me with my free speech and my freedom of association telling people that are on my side

00:47:58.160 that, hey, they don't want you. That's how these things should be handled. And also that was always

00:48:07.240 our response when people said, oh, well, if you let them refuse service for a gay wedding, then what

00:48:13.440 happens if, you know, next thing you know, you have a restaurant that says, well, we're not going to 0.96

00:48:18.020 serve black people. What is our response been to that? You know, they say, well, should a restaurant 0.83

00:48:24.020 be able to serve, refuse service to black people? Yeah, they should. Actually, they should have that 1.00

00:48:29.020 right. You should be able to refuse service to anyone. You do not, you should not be compelled by

00:48:35.080 the government to provide service to anybody. It's your company. It's your business. You can do what you

00:48:40.380 want. However, what, what have we always said? It's like, okay, well, first of all, it's not going to

00:48:45.380 happen. Okay. No, no restaurant is going to say we're not going to serve black people. It's not just

00:48:50.380 not going to actually happen. And if it did, that restaurant would be out of business in like 50

00:48:57.560 seconds. Okay. By the end of the day, they'd be out of business because many other people in the free

00:49:03.640 market using their free speech would, would, would be, you know, calling attention to that. And that,

00:49:08.320 that company would be out of business almost immediately. You know, that's how these things

00:49:13.260 would work, which is why you don't need the government stepping in. So you have to, you know,

00:49:16.920 litigating these sorts of issues. Let every company provide service to whoever they want.

00:49:22.740 And then, and then as a society, we'll work that out.

00:49:28.000 And in this case, that's exactly how it went. The company fired the employee.

00:49:31.500 They pledged to print the flyers. The issue was solved. It's over. It's done.

00:49:35.860 We were able to, as conservatives, stick to our freedom of association principles while also

00:49:41.640 getting accountability for the vile person who refused to print the flyers. We won. And now Pam

00:49:46.020 Bondi wants to swoop in after the fact and sabotage everything. And worst of all, she's doing it in the 1.00

00:49:53.760 name of Charlie Kirk. Charlie was one of the main proponents of freedom of association and freedom

00:49:59.260 of speech in the country. Charlie abhorred the idea of hate speech laws. Now there have been far too

00:50:05.760 many people in the past week speaking for Charlie, saying what he would or would not want. But in this

00:50:10.940 case, I can say with absolute certainty that Charlie would not want hate speech laws to be created and

00:50:17.700 enforced in his name. He understood the idea that speech isn't illegal just because it's viewed as

00:50:24.380 hateful, whatever that means. But our attorney general, the one person who should understand this

00:50:30.340 concept better than anybody, is as clueless as she's ever been. She stands in the way of our very

00:50:36.140 urgent mission, which is to dismantle left-wing terror cells, left-wing NGOs that threaten our

00:50:41.580 fundamental right to freedom of speech. We need an attorney general who's up to this enormous,

00:50:46.720 gargantuan task which is before us. A serious person who can tackle the challenge with decisiveness

00:50:54.500 and clarity. Pam Bondi is not that person. And that's why Trump has to cut her loose. 1.00

00:51:03.460 That's also why she is today canceled. That'll do for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks
