Speaker 1 (00:00):
Most people probably aren't prepared to hear this, but yesterday
an assassin unintentionally helped the Republicans win the twenty twenty
six mid term election.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
We hope, we think so hopefully that comes out of
this as well.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
You cannot suppress an idea with a bullet. You can
only amplify that idea. Yesterday, Gutfeld, we can't play the
SoundBite for you, but he said, you woke us the
f up He said that hut in live TV.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yes he did, and I got his our special circumstances,
and I think the FCC overlooks that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Well, I mean, it's cable, so you get away with it.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
But it still shocked the people that were on the
panel with him that Els just kind of looked at
the camera like, what did you say?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Oh yeah, his Jesse Waters and Dana Perino, the two
obviously two of his friends. They were not prepared to
hear that come out of his mouth. But man, Guttfeld
just knows what to say when to say it. He's
one of the best in this industry. Dude, real recognize
is real.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Well, now that you've pointed that out, that assassin's probably
got his next target.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
You just helped him out. Can he I mean, he's
gonna go after Gutfeld.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, you just told he was one of the best
at this, and he's obviously on the right. So yeah,
the violence comes from the left.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Okay, So it's a little different, right because got Charlie
was making himself vulnerable. Charlie would go out and talk
to people in public all the time. Gutfeld is in
a TV studio, not not like he's a coward or whatever, but.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
He doesn't leave the studio. He gets in a car,
he goes to a home, and he probably has a family.
What I worry about in situations like that is if
they can't get to you, can they get to somebody
that you love, and that might be even worse than
if they got to you.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
You know, you have a point. But on the other hand,
that's not going to silence some.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
No I'm not saying it water or should, but these
things need to be on your mind. You don't just
need to be casually cavalier. But well, they're not gonna
get me. Just go about your day. Have the thought
in your head that they might actually try.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Look if somebody was an outspoken conservative voice in their community,
a member of city council, a local someone that writes
opinion pieces for the local paper, whatever it may be,
and they own a small business. Mister Kenneth, you're a
small business. Should that person be afraid to go to
work today?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Not afraid it. Should be aware of what's out there,
what's going on around them. Don't just be blind to
the fact of what just happened yesterday.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Keep your head on a swivel. That's right, keep your
head on a swivel.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Now, what is it that you know about some of
these posts on social media days, just a couple of days,
maybe before Charlie Kirk was murdered, there were supposedly these
posts on x and other places saying something big was
going to happen to the at the Charlie Kirk speech,
(02:56):
and we're with this. I never know to believe anymore.
I don't know if that somebody put that out there
after acting like it was before, or did it really happen.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Okay, So, normally, in any normal news cycle, something involving
witches and covens and stuff would involve. We would probably
play a funny sound effect and we would joke about this.
But I'm not going to joke about it because it's
dark and disturbing. There's this website called Jezebel. Do you
guys know what you remember Jezebel? Nope. Jezebel was the
a it's a feminist news blog. I think it used
(03:30):
to be owned by Gawker back when got her BuzzFeed
or one of those piece of crap websites. Jezebel. Probably
the only time you've ever heard of Jezebel was when
they ruined the career of Azaz and Sorry. Do you
remember that, the stand up comedian. Oh yeah, he went
on a date with a woman.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
This is back during all that whole fitness movement, me
too and all that kind of stuff, And I said, ah,
let's just go ahead and take this guy.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
There were some people that were taken down by the
me Too movement who clearly deserved it, you know, Harvey Weinstein,
Matt Lauer, people like that. But as he's an sorry,
whether you believe with his political beliefs or not, he
went on a date with a woman and according to
her own explanation of what happened on that date, they
had sex three times consensually in a night. They went out,
(04:13):
They went back to his place. They had sex multiple times,
and then they never saw each other again. Months later,
she wrote an article about how she regretted it, and
in the article she didn't necessarily suggest that he drugged
her or took advantage or anything like that, and she
just said, as he's an sorry, is a jerk, And
because there was so much fervor against men in Hollywood
(04:34):
at the time, it hurt his career. He didn't work
for a while.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Just got caught up in that wave and just swept away.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
But he didn't actually do anything wrong, and eventually I
think people realized that, and then he started to work again.
But so that's who Jezebel was. That's the one time
that everybody was taught. Now they're in the news again,
although for somewhat of a different reason. They claimed that
they paid witches to put a hex on Charlie Kirk,
and they wrote an article about it two days before
he died, or like less less the two days they
(05:02):
put a mojo on him. That's what they're saying.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
And I'm telling you, I've been warning people for youth,
but getting a mojo on.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
You, you got to watch out for them people. And
are you going to look at the article if you want.
They're not taking it down. I don't know. Maybe they
think this is funny. Let's see here they put in.
Editors note. This story was published on September eighth. Jezebel
condemns the shooting of Charlie Kirk in the strongest possible terms.
We do not endorse, encourage, or excuse political violence, they say.
And then they went on to explain how they hired,
(05:30):
which is to kill Charlie Kirk and or Hecks.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
To put the curse of the Hecks on him.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, and that was very funny to them. It's just
a hilarious thing. And then at the end they say,
disclaimer the ethics of cursing a stranger. Now it is
as ethical to curse a stranger. And they go on
and they say they bought the Hecks and they I
don't know anyway, they didn't take the article down. They
left it up. So did they really feel that bad
about it?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Oh? I don't think so. No, No, they don't just
not feel bad. There are the low life liberal minds
it out there that are actually celebrating and they think
that they have really accomplished something now.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And interestingly enough, They even include a clip of him
in the article to explain why they don't like him,
and the reason why they don't. The reason why they
don't like him is because he was mean to Taylor Swift. What. Yeah,
he said that Taylor Swift should submit to her husband.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
But maybe one of the reasons why Taylor Swift has
been so just kind of annoyingly liberal over the last
couple of years is that she's not yet married and
she doesn't have children. I say this non sarcastically. I
say this as a husband and a father. Having children
changes you. Getting married changes you.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Boy. I know it's besides a point. By what, this
is one of the biggest talk shows and podcasts in America,
and somebody fix his microphone. I know, and I know
it doesn't matter. But anyway, and so that's why they
wanted him dead because he didn't like Taylor Swift, because
he had some denigrating things to say about Taylor and
Travis's engagement.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I didn't hear the denigrating part. Maybe that's not everything
he said. I didn't hear him say that she needs
to bow to her husband and all that.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
He eventually says that it's a three and a half
minute Clepe and Billy. I didn't like when I play
a lot long sound, But I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Pretty sure he is right. Though he knew having children
changed him, getting married changed him and his outlook on
the world. I've seen it happen with actors and musicians.
People will go out their careers sometime end because when
they get married and they have children, their thoughts change. Right,
(07:38):
they didn't. They were wildly irresponsible as a non married,
non parental youth. But as they mature and they see
the things that are going to affect their children's lives
in the future, that does change you. She has a
lot to learn about how the world works. She being
Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Friend who loved horror movies and heavy metal back before
he had kids, and then after he had two daughters.
He said, he doesn't watch that stuff anymore. He doesn't
like it. He doesn't like it. I said, okay, fine,
the movies, but what about the music. He's like, it's
the same thing. When I read the lyrics, it's violent.
Some of it expresses, you know, opinions about women that
I don't agree with. And he said, before I had
(08:21):
two little girls running around my house in diapers, I
didn't think about that at all. Yep. But after you
have the child, you're just changed on a molecular level
and you never go back. And you know, for Charlie Kirk,
he already had a lot of those values before he
had the kids. But anyway, I don't know, I don't really.
I still don't like Taylor Swift's music and I don't
have any kids, So.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's not going to change it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
No, probably not. It's never too early to learn that
the government is a greedy piglet that suckles on a
taxpayer's teat until they have sore, chapped nipples. What Donny
Johnson the sports world reacted to the death of Charlie Kirk,
Most of them responded exactly the way you would think
(09:03):
an athlete would respond. Very few people were ugly, A
couple of people were unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
You know, it is sad. As somebody pointed out that
the New York Yankees at their game yesterday put you know,
remember remembering Charlie Kirk in a picture of him on
their big screen at the baseball game.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Amazing, which was great.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And necessary and appropriate. But what was sad to me
was the fact that everybody that saw that was surprised
by it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Right, we're at.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That point in this country where we're so divided against
the other side, and I use that phrase myself side
this side, that it was actually surprising when somebody was
just nice.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That's so sad, dude. You explained that perfectly, because that's
exactly what I thought. It's a baseball team and one
of the most places in America, and most people admire
the Yankees for doing that. But in New York City,
knowing the kind of people that some boats, it sure did. Yeah.
But they're but they're right that we we shouldn't celebrate death.
(10:15):
We shouldn't celebrate people being punished for talking. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I'm reading these these articles. I just don't understand the
mindset here. This is right. Just minutes after Charlie Kirk
was fatally shot, right wing influencers are lighting up social
media with calls for violence against the left. They want
vengeance and retribution because this guy was They don't think
(10:40):
of the shooting of Charlie Kirk is violence. Where where
I know where where is this happening? They just say
it and people are just supposed to believe it.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
My friends are almost all right wing influencers, conservative media people.
I hang out with a lot of comedians, a lot
of journalists, I know, politician as activists. That's who I
follow on social media. I don't see anyone calling for violence,
and my friends are edgy.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
They mentioned Laura Lumer, for example, who I know.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
You know she was on my radio show yesterday afternoon
that the podcast is on the Walton Johnson podcast if
you want to hear the interview, and.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
She basically that, now, if this is a call for violence,
I don't really see it. She just said the left
are terrorists. You could be next, and well, she's right,
you could be next.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Well that's what so many people in this room just said.
I didn't feel like any of you guys were calling
for violence.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
No, we get a lot of emails from people warning
us and saying we need to be more careful because
we are outspoken the same way. Not maybe not as
effective in the broader scope of things, but we are
very similar to saying the same things that Charlie Kirk
always stood for. This rhetoric is responsible for the terrorism
(11:59):
that we're seeing in the country today. Both sides are
saying that, well, the hateful rhetoric that they're spewing, is
the reason that he got shot. They're saying it about us,
we're saying it about them, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, but he got he got shot. Yeah, we didn't
shoot you guys.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
The guy that started the Oathkeepers, if you remember them, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
They were they were blamed for January six.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
He said they're gonna rebuild the Oathkeepers. It's the security
team like the Oathkeepers. If they had been at that event,
we would have been in places like the high point
and on roofs looking for potential threats, and that could
have saved Charlie Kirk from being shot. When they say
things like do what's right, do what's necessary, they're not
(12:47):
invoking insurrection, they're not invoking violence. They're they're just saying
that this kind of thing needs to be stopped. And
the last thing that's gonna stop it is if nobody
talks about it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Sounds interesting to talk to historians about what's going on
right now. People that are just objective scientists of the past,
people that study the analytics, the data, the history books,
you know, people that look at America and try to
learn from it like a student of history, and they'll
tell you that there are very few times in American history,
(13:19):
the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and today when we
were this divided. When have we been this divided before? Well,
the last two times it happened, there was a war
with the king, there was a war with each other.
And now there's a culture war over your mind, and
that might lead to the next war. I don't like that.
I no, and don't like war. That's why I bought
all that stock. Yeah, all right, I know I kind
(13:42):
of mixed messages.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Mean you approve of what they're doing, you just know
that what they're doing is going to be making money.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
We've been posting things to social media. We have been
exposing the people that are out right now celebrating death's
so horrible, A shockingly large number of public schools, teas,
elected officials, prosecutors. Why even Lemon Don Lemon gleefully reporting
(14:09):
that Charlie Kirk had been shot, celebrating the shooting and
the comments section of his live stream, because that's all
he's been reduced to. Now, he's just a social media personality.
These people vote, they get the same number of votes
as you, billy.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
They do. They just wasteairs. Yeah, that Harrison, Butker remember
all the controversy he calls the kicker for the Chiefs.
I guess he was friends with Charlie. Yeah he's religious.
Oh no, he believes in God and the teachings of
the Bible.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Oh no.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah. He put out a post thanking Charlie for being
a strong witness for Christ, pursuing truth, leading your family
as a husband and a father, eternal risk and you
know all that made their soul and the souls of
the faithful departed through the mercy of God. Risk in peace. Amen.
It just it just surprises people when the Yankees post
(15:04):
something nice or or somebody says something nice that it's like,
should we be surprised or or shocked by this reaction?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
No, well not be, but we are. It is amazing.
I mean I thought the same thing when I saw
that on social media, the screenshot of the New York
Yankees paying tribute to Charlie Kirk. I thought it was fake.
I thought somebody photoshopped it and put it there to
play on my emotions. I thought, Wow, the Russian algorithm
really knows how to trick mem But that actually happened yesterday.
(15:35):
A little glimmer of light, a silver lining in what
was otherwise just an ugly, ugly day in America.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
There is I don't even know if we should name
these people on Facebook because they're not even ashamed of
what they're doing, and it is so shameful. But this
one woman wrote, I feel bad for his kids, not
that they feel bad for him, but his kids because
they didn't choose to be here. This is that whole
mindset of the fact that you shouldn't have children. And
(16:02):
the woman responding to that post said, I don't feel
bad for them at all. F them two, it's a toddler.
These are the most horrible people in the world, and
they're happily letting you know just how horrible they are
on social media.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
They want you dad act accordingly. This American carnage stops
right here and stops right now.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Walton and Johnson Radio Network
Most people probably aren't prepared to hear this, but yesterday
an assassin unintentionally helped the Republicans win the twenty twenty
six mid term election.

the movies, but what about the music. He's like, it's
the same thing. When I read the lyrics, it's violent.
Some of it expresses, you know, opinions about women that
I don't agree with. And he said, before I had
(08:21):
two little girls running around my house in diapers, I
didn't think about that at all. Yep. But after you
have the child, you're just changed on a molecular level
and you never go back. And you know, for Charlie Kirk,
he already had a lot of those values before he
had the kids. But anyway, I don't know, I don't really.
I still don't like Taylor Swift's music and I don't
have any kids, So.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's not going to change it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
No, probably not. It's never too early to learn that
the government is a greedy piglet that suckles on a
taxpayer's teat until they have sore, chapped nipples. What Donny
Johnson the sports world reacted to the death of Charlie Kirk,
Most of them responded exactly the way you would think
(09:03):
an athlete would respond. Very few people were ugly, A
couple of people were unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
You know, it is sad. As somebody pointed out that
the New York Yankees at their game yesterday put you know,
remember remembering Charlie Kirk in a picture of him on
their big screen at the baseball game.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Amazing, which was great.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And necessary and appropriate. But what was sad to me
was the fact that everybody that saw that was surprised
by it.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Right, we're at.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That point in this country where we're so divided against
the other side, and I use that phrase myself side
this side, that it was actually surprising when somebody was
just nice.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That's so sad, dude. You explained that perfectly, because that's
exactly what I thought. It's a baseball team and one
of the most places in America, and most people admire
the Yankees for doing that. But in New York City,
knowing the kind of people that some boats, it sure did. Yeah.
But they're but they're right that we we shouldn't celebrate death.
(10:15):
We shouldn't celebrate people being punished for talking. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I'm reading these these articles. I just don't understand the
mindset here. This is right. Just minutes after Charlie Kirk
was fatally shot, right wing influencers are lighting up social
media with calls for violence against the left. They want
vengeance and retribution because this guy was They don't think
(10:40):
of the shooting of Charlie Kirk is violence. Where where
I know where where is this happening? They just say
it and people are just supposed to believe it.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
My friends are almost all right wing influencers, conservative media people.
I hang out with a lot of comedians, a lot
of journalists, I know, politician as activists. That's who I
follow on social media. I don't see anyone calling for violence,
and my friends are edgy.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
They mentioned Laura Lumer, for example, who I know.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
You know she was on my radio show yesterday afternoon
that the podcast is on the Walton Johnson podcast if
you want to hear the interview, and.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
She basically that, now, if this is a call for violence,
I don't really see it. She just said the left
are terrorists. You could be next, and well, she's right,
you could be next.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Well that's what so many people in this room just said.
I didn't feel like any of you guys were calling
for violence.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
No, we get a lot of emails from people warning
us and saying we need to be more careful because
we are outspoken the same way. Not maybe not as
effective in the broader scope of things, but we are
very similar to saying the same things that Charlie Kirk
always stood for. This rhetoric is responsible for the terrorism
(11:59):
that we're seeing in the country today. Both sides are
saying that, well, the hateful rhetoric that they're spewing, is
the reason that he got shot. They're saying it about us,
we're saying it about them, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, but he got he got shot. Yeah, we didn't
shoot you guys.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
The guy that started the Oathkeepers, if you remember them, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
They were they were blamed for January six.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
He said they're gonna rebuild the Oathkeepers. It's the security
team like the Oathkeepers. If they had been at that event,
we would have been in places like the high point
and on roofs looking for potential threats, and that could
have saved Charlie Kirk from being shot. When they say
things like do what's right, do what's necessary, they're not
(12:47):
invoking insurrection, they're not invoking violence. They're they're just saying
that this kind of thing needs to be stopped. And
the last thing that's gonna stop it is if nobody
talks about it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Sounds interesting to talk to historians about what's going on
right now. People that are just objective scientists of the past,
people that study the analytics, the data, the history books,
you know, people that look at America and try to
learn from it like a student of history, and they'll
tell you that there are very few times in American history,
(13:19):
the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and today when we
were this divided. When have we been this divided before? Well,
the last two times it happened, there was a war
with the king, there was a war with each other.
And now there's a culture war over your mind, and
that might lead to the next war. I don't like that.
I no, and don't like war. That's why I bought
all that stock. Yeah, all right, I know I kind
(13:42):
of mixed messages.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Mean you approve of what they're doing, you just know
that what they're doing is going to be making money.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
We've been posting things to social media. We have been
exposing the people that are out right now celebrating death's
so horrible, A shockingly large number of public schools, teas,
elected officials, prosecutors. Why even Lemon Don Lemon gleefully reporting
(14:09):
that Charlie Kirk had been shot, celebrating the shooting and
the comments section of his live stream, because that's all
he's been reduced to. Now, he's just a social media personality.
These people vote, they get the same number of votes
as you, billy.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
They do. They just wasteairs. Yeah, that Harrison, Butker remember
all the controversy he calls the kicker for the Chiefs.
I guess he was friends with Charlie. Yeah he's religious.
Oh no, he believes in God and the teachings of
the Bible.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Oh no.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah. He put out a post thanking Charlie for being
a strong witness for Christ, pursuing truth, leading your family
as a husband and a father, eternal risk and you
know all that made their soul and the souls of
the faithful departed through the mercy of God. Risk in peace. Amen.
It just it just surprises people when the Yankees post
(15:04):
something nice or or somebody says something nice that it's like,
should we be surprised or or shocked by this reaction?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
No, well not be, but we are. It is amazing.
I mean I thought the same thing when I saw
that on social media, the screenshot of the New York
Yankees paying tribute to Charlie Kirk. I thought it was fake.
I thought somebody photoshopped it and put it there to
play on my emotions. I thought, Wow, the Russian algorithm
really knows how to trick mem But that actually happened yesterday.
(15:35):
A little glimmer of light, a silver lining in what
was otherwise just an ugly, ugly day in America.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
There is I don't even know if we should name
these people on Facebook because they're not even ashamed of
what they're doing, and it is so shameful. But this
one woman wrote, I feel bad for his kids, not
that they feel bad for him, but his kids because
they didn't choose to be here. This is that whole
mindset of the fact that you shouldn't have children. And
(16:02):
the woman responding to that post said, I don't feel
bad for them at all. F them two, it's a toddler.
These are the most horrible people in the world, and
they're happily letting you know just how horrible they are
on social media.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
They want you dad act accordingly. This American carnage stops
right here and stops right now.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
