Speaker 3 (01:48):
My God is really really special and I love my
dad law.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
I'm proud of him and that even though he isn't
here at the but he died as a true hero.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I much everything about.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
Him and the moment that the officers and I had
to come see the children, my biggest reaction was, I
don't have seven arms. I have seven children who just
lost their father, and I don't have seven arms to
wrap around them.

Speaker 6 (02:23):
I'm Frank Cla, chairman of the steven Sila Tunnel to
Talis Foundation.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Our foundation is committed.

Speaker 6 (02:28):
To delivering mortgage free homes for gold Star families and
fall and first respond to families.

Speaker 7 (02:34):
To not have to worry financially is a huge peace
of mind. The thought of what in the world will
I possibly do to pay the bills? How will I
possibly let the children have a life that feels normal.
I don't want them to have to quit their piano
lessons or their basketball. I don't want them to feel
that we have to move into a little apartment and
struggle financially.

Speaker 8 (02:52):
In addition to the emotional weight.

Speaker 9 (02:54):
There are over one thousand families that need our help.
Penal To Taalis is honoring those heroes that risk their
lives by providing them with more than free homes.

Speaker 7 (03:03):
Those who serve us and then lay down their lives
protecting our freedoms and our safety. The least we can
do is eleven dollars a month to give them that
piece of always knowing there's a home. There's that sanctuary
when life feels like it's been tipped upside.

Speaker 8 (03:17):
Down, because it has when you lose a parent in
the line.

Speaker 7 (03:20):
Of duty, to know you can go home, you can
be safe, there's no risk of losing your home. That's
a peace of mind that I can't believe you can
get for eleven.

Speaker 8 (03:28):
Dollars a month.

Speaker 9 (03:29):
I'd like to ask you to contribute eleven dollars a
month to support their efforts.

Speaker 6 (03:33):
Please donate eleven dollars a month by calling one eighth
four four bravest or visit Tunnel to Towers dot Org.

Speaker 10 (03:54):
Independence. With that declaration, America was born inspired by a
belief in the god given rights of every human being,
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

(04:16):
Our government was established to secure these rights and for
the good that comes from exercising them. Well, this is
why the founders of our great nation chose independence, as
do we. Hillsdale College accepts no government funding because independence

(04:40):
makes possible the good to which we aspire. Hillsdale College
pursuing truth and defending liberty since eighteen forty four.

I should stay down. Look at how fun you come.
I bet you want to bring how you've even made
it this far? I think it's all open.

Speaker 14 (07:03):
Now, but you gotta care.

Speaker 18 (07:05):
It's time that you made a stance when everybody says
you can't get telling it got so that you can
to go with that fear. It's hope that keeps us
some block. Get up and open your brother, Take hold
of that dream. Reply and look you ask the question why.

Speaker 19 (07:17):
I'm telling you that, No matter what dream, no matter

(07:47):
how small you gotta dream you want to reach for.

look for the hate us. Take a look in the
mirror and tell yourself. Now I'm the greatest. Is your moment,
so try to freeze.

Speaker 18 (07:59):
It and hold it, Grip it, tighten your hand, and
show the world that you own it. But there's a
line between constructive criticism and when somebody tries to hate
your strod. Weren't offended, and you gotta see the difference
and read between the lines.

Speaker 14 (08:12):

You'll be just fine. Keep on such and within because

I'm exactly like what you win. Always wanted to say,
I can again, if not the criminalize, I am still
in a second and after.

Speaker 14 (08:35):
Second, just because I know I can.

Speaker 11 (08:37):
But I can't pretend this is no way it will stay.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
I'm just.

Speaker 11 (08:44):
I can't pretend that you want me to pay.

Speaker 21 (08:46):
So written down and say Priscus scars collected on the.

Speaker 14 (09:32):
No matter how.

Speaker 19 (09:33):
Hard, no matter how hard the.

Speaker 14 (09:39):
Start, you know where we start.

Speaker 22 (09:41):
Don't know.

Speaker 14 (09:45):
Things do the hearts and.

Speaker 21 (09:51):
Starts through horns that shot whoa so.

Speaker 23 (09:59):
That Jesus, I know just what it's love.

Speaker 24 (10:31):
When it's hard to keep up the fun, but I
know I will survived.

Speaker 11 (10:43):
Because le.

Speaker 25 (10:49):
Son, good morning, and it's Friday, normally.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
By now I'm saying Happy Friday. We're doing the Finally
Friday song. All that fun stuff. Still doesn't feel right
leaning an extra long runway today, So if you guys
don't mind that I opened a little differently. I'm exhausted.
For one, I was working till after midnight last night.

(12:46):
I don't know how long my voice is gonna hold out,
but we're gonna do this damn thing anyway, because I
have done. I added it up because between yesterday and
the day before, I did like fourteen hours of broadcasting
in two days. For those of you that do broadcasting,
you know that's a lot. So we're here, we're live,
we have an update. This will be the one and
only time I say this. Some bitch's name, but we

(13:08):
do not have a name associated with the assassination of
Charlie Kirk. And oddly enough, I was trying to be
funny last night when they had announced that the gentleman
was walking with a limp, and I'm like, it wasn't me.
Turns out his last name is Robinson. Some bitch, Some
bitch anyway, so Tyler Robinson is in custody. They were

(13:30):
trying to spin up a press conference right as I
was trying to get things going and my internet started
being crazy, so I haven't been able to look at much,
so I don't know if they ever actually even got
it going or what's going on with it. If I
can find it anywhere, we may actually play some of
it at some point, but we're gonna kind of be
all over the place today. Our three will still be
the News round Up to get you ready for everything

(13:50):
that you need to know for the weekend, which will
eventually become a standalone show called The Weekend News Roundup.
For those of you that just like that part of it,
you could actually just go check that out later as
a standalone audio podcast. I'm behind on some of that stuff,
so I'll be getting caught up on all that over
the weekend because it's been it's been a week. It's
been a week. But we're here, We're live, and I'm

(14:12):
going to be asking this question a lot where do
we go from here? Because I don't have all the answers.
I do know this. We are, and I said this
last night on Beezy's show. We are past the rubicon.
In my opinion, we are past the point of no return,
which is kind of what that has come to mean,

(14:34):
because the left has made it painfully obvious that while
they have done everything they could to beat us into submission,
to make us recognize that the only free speech they
care about is any free speech where you agree with them,
and anything that gives this scent makes you a racist, homophobic,
bigoted son of a bitch, even at Stephen King last night,

(14:54):
perpetuating the lie that Charlie Kirk was advocating for gays
to be stoned when that wasn't the case. Jen and
I actually talked about that last night. He was quoting
scripture for a scripture, and they cut off the part
where he asked, after he quoted the scripture, should we
also be following that one? So Charlie Kirk would sometimes

(15:16):
say some controversial things on purpose to make you think,
hang on, oh, that doesn't surprise me either. So didn
he just put in the chat that apparently the gentleman
who is now the suspect in custody for allegedly assassinating

(15:40):
Charlie Kirk. And we have to say allegedly because it
hasn't been proven in a court of all yet. As
much as I personally hate that shit, apparently has debated
Charlie Kirk before in one of his videos, So why
am I not surprised? Why am I not surprised? But
now it's I mean, seriously, guys, the question is where

(16:04):
do we go from here? And the reason I'm asking
that is because this started coming across my radar sometime
yesterday and I never really got a chance to talk
about it. But here is a Facebook post from a
Secret Service agent. This is from Susan Crabtree's ex account
Exclusive and Breaking. This is a current Secret Service agent

(16:27):
stating in a Facebook post that Charlie Kirk deserved what
he got a quote unquote you can't circumvent karma, she
doesn't leave. The comments are similar to insidia remarks of
now former MSNBC show hosts, etc. Now, the thing that

(16:47):
I don't understand about all that, if I'm being completely honest,
is MSD and C, or as I call them PMS
now because I think they're changing their mind about the rebrand,
because I thought that was supposed to have happened by now,
But I think I think we pulled the trigger making
fun of it too early, so I think they might
be rethinking it. And I like the whole cracker barrel thing.
But look, I don't know. I don't know, so I've

(17:12):
been saying this now for days too. I don't know
how we coexist with the folks with those bumper stickers
when they refuse to coexist, because if you don't agree
with them one hundred percent of the time, they're not
going to want to coexist with you. I don't know
about you, but I can't. I don't ever agree with

(17:33):
anybody one hundred percent of the time. And if you
find yourself agreeing with somebody one hundred percent of the time,
you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself. Because
I'm gonna say this now, you shouldn't even be agreeing
with the folks that do what I do one hundred
percent of the time. We're going to get it wrong.
We're going to say things that you don't agree with,
and it's fine for you to point that out. That's

(17:54):
the whole point of this. Jen and I talked about
this last night. If your beliefs don't stand up to scrutiny,
don't stand up to your ability to be able to
defend them when they are questioned, you don't have beliefs.
You have talking points or you've been indoctrinated or both.
All right, so give me just a second.

Speaker 26 (18:13):
Here mentioned one thing and ask you a thing. Paul Morrow,
who is in orm Utah for us right before this
press conference gets underway, as we confirm the suspect's name

(18:36):
is Tyler Robinson.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Like I said, I won't be saying that name anymore
after the day because I'm not gonna give him any
more daylight. He doesn't deserve any but he is in custody. Actually,
that story broke on Fox and Friends. I'm wondering if
Trump's handlers were like sunder bitch, we weren't ready for
this yet. You can tell they kind of hastily started

(19:02):
trying to put together a press conference because it was
supposed to have kicked off at like eight thirty my time,
and it would and I was going to try to
get in here early and spin up if it happened.
And I'm like, eh, I don't think it's happening. When
they said it was going to happen, and you could
you could see the screenshot of the empty podium there,
Like I said, this is going to be kind of
a raw footage kind of day for me because I

(19:23):
am I still feel the I'll be honest, I almost
pulled the plug today. I woke up feeling like crap,
and I've only been up for about two hours, which
means good news is I finally did get some sleep.
Bad news I did. That's why I needed the longer runway.
All right, So let's take a look at some of

(19:44):
this stuff, because this is part of the reason why
I'm asking the question of where do we go from here.
This is from our friends over at town Hall. This
is Matt and Vespa so and I quote, here are
some heinous members of the professional class who cheered Charlie
Kirk's death. There the there the hordes of mordor. That's
all it can be said about these people, many of
whom teach your children, manage your healthcare, and supposedly maintain

(20:09):
law and order. The list goes on. We have doctors, veterinarians,
wealth managers, and nurses cheering the death of Charlie Kirk,
the founder of Turning Point USA, who was assassinated at
Utah Valley University on Wednesday. And yes, some members of
the media are in on this current collection of an
ungodly horde of credence. The legions of unhinged progressives that

(20:32):
infest the professional classes are startling but also representative of
the changes within the Democratic Party, which has become wider, wealthier, snobbier,
and dare we say more insane. Lives of TikTok has
the first one on the hit parade. Nicole Gallagher Kiner,
a public da in Montana, reportedly made multiple posts attacking

(20:55):
Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated and claimed he deserved
to die. Evil evil. Here's one of the posts. So,
and this is in response to somebody else I know.
I never said anyone deserved to die. He over absolutely did.
He said children deserve to die so he could go
shoot some guns and act like a hot shot. That

(21:17):
is not just a hot that's not just not a hero.
It's an abomination of life. And some things just need
to end, deserving or not. Gun violence is one of them,
and anyone who pedals it is as a fix to
anything along with it, as far as I'm concerned, actually
deserves to die. Next from Andy No Morgan Richardson, a

(21:43):
junto wealth manager in Norristown, PA, celebrates the killing of
Charlie Kirk. The self described queer activist suggests the world
would be better if more people who thought light hint
a lot of hint like him were taken out. Next
up is from an account called bad Ombre Eat Daniel
LK Mandel. She works with disabled patients at Imagine the

(22:05):
Possibilities inc In DeWitt iowa her words. I hope it
was an accurate shot. If nothing else, I hope he
can't talk anymore. This is from Marionette Miller Meeks looks
like I was representative of some kind. I'm disturbed by
a post from an almost thought I was about to

(22:25):
go postal r oh. I thought that said Oklahoma for
like half a second. So an Oscar, LUSA teacher celebrating
the assassination of Charlie Kirk and calling him a Nazi.
This is why Charlie Kirk was killed, guys. Christopher Rispoli,
the woke owner of gentle Care Animal Hospital and oh
good God, Edmund Oklahoma really really suggesting on social media

(22:51):
that the people should be inspired to kill more people
after Charlie Kirk. He's only the first libs of tick
talk promoting somebody else which looks like and I quote
this is what they said. He got the day he
deserved nurse with pronouns in bio at henry Ford Health
and response to Charlie Kirk's assassination. Yeah, so this is

(23:14):
from cam Higbee. Austin Schroth, a teacher at Lake Norman
Charter School in Huntersville, North Carolina, reportedly shared photos on
Facebook mocking Charlie Kirk. According to a tipster, go straight
to hell, asshole. He apparently deleted the post along with
his entire Facebook account. This is from cam Higbye again.

(23:35):
Meet Anthony Gonjaro. He claims to work at Phoenix Children
Hospital as a medical laboratory scientist. He spent yesterday celebrating
Charlie Kirk's murder on social media. Dragged them one by
one into the light. I'm editorializing some of this stuff
as we go, just so you know. This one again
is from cam Higbye. Looks like he's got a lot
of these in here. They were clearly aiming for his

(23:57):
giant forehead and missed. That's Jesse McKinnon, reportedly in ap
US History and Honors economics high school teacher in Oakland, California,
who also claims to have written curriculum from scratch. Sure
you have cam Higbee again. Prominent doctor in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
says Charlie Kirk deserved to die and calls the murder

(24:22):
just cam Higbee yet again. Charlie Kirk was a bigot,
which I believe poses a danger. That is according to
one David Sacarios. According to a tipster, he is a
school counselor in Atwater, California. This matches his self identified
history as a substitute teacher in none other than COMI
fournia them itself. So this is from an account called Esthetica.

(24:45):
Meet adjunct lecturer at American University, Catherine Sawyers. Are Sawers.
Catherine thinks Charlie's little three year old daughter and one
year old son were raised to be killers. This might
be the worst one yet. This woman is so unbelievably evil.
I want all of you to do anything you can
to make sure she doesn't get to keep her job.

(25:08):
Cam Higbee again. Meet Scott Kaiser, self identified as the
content coordinator for ABC News WCPTO Channel nine TV station
in Cincinnati. He and his apparent wife, Cheryl Kaiser, celebrating
Charlie Kirk's murder with confetti emojis within hours of his death.

(25:31):
So I have to start asking again, where do we
go from here? Are these the type of people you
want teaching your children? For one? Are these the type
of people that you want taking care of your pets
in your time of need? Are these the type of
people that you want taking care of your children or
even yourself in your time and your time of need
or their time of need? Because what happens when they

(25:51):
find out your conservative? What are they gonna do? Euthanize
your dog and be like, oh, there's nothing we could do. Sorry.
Soon as you leave, you're crushed and they're dancing behind
the counter as soon as you're out the door. This
is what I'm talking about. I don't know how we
coexist with these people anymore. I was one of the
first ones. How did that happen? Anyway? I don't, I don't. Oh,

(26:17):
it's because I was playing a video. Sorry, did I mention?
Still really tired? Don't mind me very much? But no,
I mean, seriously, where the hell do we go from here?
How can we coexist with these people? Because we've been
trying to That's the part that nobody wants to talk about.

(26:37):
They're the ones that want us dead. I have been
saying for years that up until this very moment. This
is why this is for me, is more of a
tipping point than a turning point, and each of us
has to decide where we are. And I said this yesterday.
We are either at a tipping point or a turning point,
depending on your perspective and depending on where the kids
that were slowly starting to turn this country over to

(26:58):
go from here. This has been an a wik moment
for a lot of high school and college aged kids.
The question is how long are they going to hang
on to what they're feeling right now, because there's a
good chance what happened on September tenth, twenty twenty five
is their new nine to eleven moment. You know, we
had a couple in my time, one I was too

(27:18):
young for, but it was still kind of a galvanizing
moment in my lifetime when I'm watching President Reagan get
shot on national TV in the middle of my second
grade class, and this is to tell you the difference
between who we are now versus who we were. Then
the teacher turned off the TV, called for call the
office to have somebody pick up the av cart, and
then said, okay, kids, time for a spelling test. After

(27:39):
we watch the President of the United States gets shot
on national TV versus what goes on today versus what
goes on today. I'm not saying which one is the
best approach. I think we probably need to be somewhere
in the middle. I think we could learn to be
more sympathetic. I think empathy is a huge problem, and

(28:00):
I think our culture is teaching the opposite. It is impossible,
impossible for you to actually honestly be able to put
yourself in somebody else's shoes. You can try to, you
can try to understand how you think they would feel,
but you don't know. And this is coming from somebody
who did call center work and had to coach people

(28:22):
all the time. When you're doing this and it's taking
so long for you to get it done, and you're
not following your scripts and you're not doing this, it's
because you have sympathy, not empathy, And you need to
focus more on empathy because that helps you put yourself
in their shoes, but also doesn't make you feel so
bad that you can't do your job. Blah blah blah
blah blah, YadA, YadA, YadA, ad infinitem. Oh my god,
I'm gonna barf because I can't believe I used to

(28:44):
have to coach people and actually say that shit okay
better maybe woo sah. But seriously, I don't know where
we go from here. This isn't an isolated incident. This
was happening, and again, social media is not real life.
I get that what's happening.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Well.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
The problem is, though, this is starting to bleed into
real life because I've seen people that I know, people
that I care about, posting some of the same stupid shit,
and it's like a dagger in the heart every time
I see it, because I'm like, I spent time out
of my life that I could never get back fostering
a relationship with you, learning to get to know who

(29:27):
you were, trying to build a friendship with you, and
then every chance you get lately, you tap dance on
somebody's grave just because we have different political ideologies, which
is again why I'm asking the question where do we
go from here? Because I don't know. Again, we're either
at a turning point or a tipping point in this country.

(29:47):
We have to decide where we go from here. For me,
I am at a tipping point because I've had to
come to terms with the fact because up until September tenth,
I was always one of the people that was like, well,
the the Democrats aren't bad people, they just have terrible ideas. Yeah, Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope,

(30:08):
nope nope. With as many people that have jumped ship
from the Democratic Party in the last twelve months, if
you are still on that flotsome jets sinking, fucking boat
of a party, then I don't want anything to do
with you anymore, because I'm done calling the left the left,
unless what, except when I have to when I'm writing
for places like Twitchy, because the left isn't the left.

(30:30):
The left is a lie. The left is evil, straight
up evil, plain and simple, straight up evil. All right,
So we're still going to try to have a little
bit of normal seat today. So I'm looking to see
I don't think that I don't think they did am
a phonology this week because of what happened with Charlie Kirk.

(30:50):
But I'm about to look anyway, So hang on, Mezie
and I were on that show, and I'm pretty sure
that they said they weren't gonna be doing that, So
all right, So I did find a Fox News feed.
So let's see what we can find out what's going
on over there. Huh oh, I still think I still
have those muted though.

Speaker 16 (31:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
OK, so we're going to join this in progress. A
bit looks like they are still for an answer. Five

(33:42):
A crap I want timeline or hotel gates led to.

Speaker 21 (34:31):
Connection.

Speaker 27 (34:33):
I cannot comment if there is a direct connection or not,
but all I can say is that that that through
some process, the family came to know that this had happened. Correct, Yes, yes,
So so when he's first spotted on campus, he has

(34:57):
different clothing on, and then he changes clothing on the roof,
and then changed back into that clothing at some point,
so that when when he was when he was apprehended,
when he when he was arrested, the clothing matched the
clothing he had on before the shooting here at UVU.
Last question here, Yes, yeah, so I don't have any

(35:28):
information on the mental illness park. He was not a
student here at UVU. He was living and and had
lived for a long time with his family in Washington
County in some of the most priorities. Thank you everyone
for your great work and getting this information out. I
just say process wise, this may be important, and I

(35:48):
know many of you aren't familiar with the process in Utah.
I think it's important that you understand that basically, we
have three days for charging documents to be filed. A
CEI will be filed, We'll have more information then, more
detailed information as those charging documents are filed in preparation

(36:09):
for a preliminary hearing. So three days, so you know,
we would anticipate then that early next week those charging
documents will be filed. We will obviously be working the
county attorney, will be working very closely with mister Kirk's
family as those documents and decisions are prepared and made.

Speaker 28 (36:26):
Thanks everyone, all right, So we joined that kind of
late because it took me forever to find it and
then we had technical issues.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
So for those of you who couldn't hear the first
little bit of what he was talking about, basically he
was just giving some of the background on what happened.
It looks like based on what I've been able to
find out. While I was ganning social media real quick,
and as he was calling social media cancer, which I
don't necessarily disagree with. Social media is a big part
of how I make my money these days, but I
still I don't spend as much time loan is as

(37:00):
I used to, which is probably why I don't have, like,
you know, hundreds of dollars coming in from places like X,
because I just I can't when I'm working. It's one thing.
When I'm not, I don't really want to be on
that much unless I'm in groups just talking to friends.
And it's kind of been that way for a while again.
But from everything that I've been able to understand, it
looks like what happened is something like late last night

(37:22):
they had the press conference where they put out the
enhanced photo, the enhanced photos from when I've been able
to gather a minister contacted, I guess it was the
family of mister Robinson, and the family realized that that
was their son and they did the tough thing and
they helped to get him into custody. So good on them.

(37:47):
Good on them. So we talked about this a little
bit last night. Where do we go from here, kind
of tying all that together with the kind of recurring theme.
I'm not sure because I feel like there's because they
had also mentioned that we're kind of this is gonna
be kind of a watershed moment in American history. I
firmly believe that. Again, I've been saying this since yesterday.

(38:07):
I think September tenth, twenty twenty five, will be gen
Z's nine to eleven moment, And I think years from now,
they're going to be able to look back and know
exactly where they were when the news broke first that
he was shot and then ultimately that he had expired.
But there's been there's been some downstream changes too. Because

(38:30):
we always talk about politics and pop culture being downstream
from one another, I don't really know if it's downstream
as much anymore as there's a commingling of it. And
we'll probably bring this point up a little bit more
when Brad is on, because he actually does a pop
culture show. I don't, but I thought this was kind
of amazing news. So this is from our friends over

(38:51):
at Red State. This is rusty wiss. D C Comics
has canceled Batman spin off after riders sickening post mocking
Charlie Kirk's death surface. Now I've never been a fan
of cancel culture on either side, but I've also been
warning people for over a decade that you better enjoy
this while you can, because eventually my side's going to
figure out how to play by these same rules, and

(39:12):
then you ain't gonna like it so much so. A
transgender comic book writer had their newly released project completely
canceled by DC Comics after post on Bluecry surfaced of
them mocking the death of conservative icon Charlie Kirk. Gretchen
Felker Martin, who is transgender and uses she her pronouns,
which means bitch is a dude, had a major Batman

(39:35):
spin off called red Hood canned despite having a significant
launch just this Wednesday. Additionally, it was expected to see
future releases all the way into late twenty twenty six. Now,
Bitch's pronouns can be changed to fafo and this is
from ian Ian Jaeger on x breaking. DC has just

(39:55):
canceled author Gretchen Felker Martin's new Red Hood issue after
posting after the posting of insensitive comments about Charlie Kirk.
At DC Comics, we place the highest value on our
creators and community and affirm the right to peaceful individual
expression of personal viewpoints, according to a statement from the
company shared with CNN, post or public comments that can

(40:18):
be viewed as promoting hostility or violence, are inconsistent with
DC standards of conduct. Why soften the edges like that, DC,
It's not viewed as promoting hostility, it is outright hostility.
Although that's the author being cranky about it. I'm honestly
just surprised they did anything about it at all. Over
they go, it's just a conservative, So supporting and celebrating

(40:40):
the violent murder of somebody whose biggest crime was sharing
American and Christian values is kind of a big deal
in my opinion. And I've been talking about that for
days now too. This person in a just world would
never hold employment in a respective position. Again, Ding further done, Ding,
brother done? Sorry what did he post that led to

(41:02):
the Batman spin off being dropped? And I love the
fact that the writer of this piece said he and
not the other bullshit um and I quote thoughts and prayers,
you Nazi bastard. Imagine calling someone something that more accurately
describes yourself, and imagine doing so when that person is
literally dying. People like this, these wretched, wretched, self loathing pigs,

(41:24):
do not belong employed in any sphere of cultural, educational, governmental,
or public influence ding rather dun ding, rather done. Bitch
didn't stop there, however, he later added hope the bullets
okay after touching Charlie. Hmmm. So the sad thing about

(41:46):
all this is compared to some of the other stuff
that's come out that this is kind of tame. This
is kind of tame. So again I'm surprised now this
has been happening all over the place. There there was
an MSDNC commentator or as I call them now pms now,
who was fired after his off the cuff comments during

(42:07):
the live broadcast. There are other folks that have have
been losing their jobs. One of the ones that I
thought was the most entertaining, and I didn't have a
chance to circle back to it when I was on
VZ show last night. There was somebody who was actually
the director of a PR firm or the PR division
of a firm, who lost their job because they were
putting out stupid shin on social media. That's kind Your

(42:31):
whole gig is pretty much social media, and you and
and you tanked it. We do have a BZ siting.
Look you love us and let your lug time busy
like you lung time. Look you lung time. People that
don't get our inside jokes are like, what the fuck?
And if you're not getting our inside jokes, that means

(42:51):
you don't spend enough time in his chat rem more minds.
So that's you. That's a you problem, not enough problem,
all right, So let's see what the trouble weeking get into.
Since I did use the longer runway to get started,
I don't think I'm gonna take a break this second
or this segment, although there may be a longer runway

(43:11):
in the beginning of hour two again because my voice
is trying to quit on me mid show. We're gonna
do this damn thing anyway. So I thought this was
a valid point. This is from Eli Shepherd over at
Red State. I'm gonna read from this one a bit
and paraphrases we go for those of you who don't
really know kind of what I do with these articles,
because I haven't read it yet, I'm hoping you haven't

(43:32):
read it yet, and I'll be putting out a link
about it here in a little bit anyway, so you
can read it later if you went, if you want,
September twelfth, once you u nine of us. Now it
shows how broken, We've become saying this in real time
on September twelfth, Can I get an amen? Because yeah,
we talked about this yesterday twenty four years ago, September

(43:54):
the eleventh, and then twenty three years and three hundred
and sixty five days later we had what happened with
Charlie Kirk. That doesn't even encompass the Bengazi thing, which
happened kind of smack dab, sort of in the middle
ish of where we are right now. So twenty four
years ago, September twelfth, two thousand and one, was one
of the darkest mornings in American history, and somehow also

(44:14):
one of the brightest. The smoke still rose from the York,
from New York, the Pentagon still smoldered, and Pennsylvania still reeled.
Yet with heavy hearts, Americans were united. The writer of
this piece was just eleven at the time, and fuck you,
said with complete sincerity and love, because you young bastards. But

(44:36):
even at that age I knew something remarkable was happening.
Race didn't matter, class didn't matter, political labels didn't matter. America,
scarred and shaken, stood shoulder to shoulder. We cried together,
We prayed, together, we flew flags together. Patriotism wasn't mocked,
it was assumed. Hope glimmered through the heartbreak. Fast forward
to September twelve, twenty twenty five, and it is a

(44:57):
completely different story. What a different country this feels like today,
Instead of being bound by tragedy, we are being ripped
apart by it. After the political assassination of Charlie Kirk,
one of the most visible conservative voices of this generation,
our nation isn't rallying and shared grief. It's fracturing. It's
boiling over with venom. And most disturbingly, there are radicals

(45:18):
actually celebrating his death, celebrating, cheering, applauding the murder of
an American citizen for daring to speak his mind. This
should chill every person to the bone, but it isn't. Instead,
the silence from the left is deafening. Where's the outcry?
Where is the this isn't who we are? Chorus that
rang out in the days after nine to eleven. Back then,

(45:41):
our enemies were foreign. Today it feels like our enemies
are our neighbors, because in most cases they are, and worse,
some of them openly believe that violence against the centers.
Isn't just acceptable, it's noble pausing the article for the
moment because I would like to point out that in
a recent survey that was taken, forty five percent of

(46:02):
Americans thought it would be justified to take out Elon Musk.
Fifty five percent thought it would be okay to do so.
Did Donald Trump. This is not something that we say lightly.
There is a segment of this population that wants you
dead if you don't agree with them one hundred percent
of the time. They want you not breathing anymore, and
they have made that perfectly clear. So this is why

(46:23):
the question that I've been asking all show, and the
one that I will continue to ask, at least for
the first two hours, is where do we go from here?
Because I don't have all the answers I wish I did.
I wish there was some quick panacea, some flip switch
I could flip that would fix everything. If I had
it in my power, I would snap my fingers and
make it happen right now, this second. But I don't.
What I do know is it's time for us to

(46:45):
start calling things as they are, not as we want
them to be. As a person of faith, we typically
do the reverse. When there's bad things going on. We
try to see the world through rose colored glasses. We
try to make things better, We try to be uplifting,
we try to be positive. I'm not saying to let
go of any of that stuff, but you also have
to face reality. These people want you dead. They don't
care about you. As a matter of fact, every single

(47:07):
one of you that believe in any way, shape or form,
how I believe they will cheer the moment you are expired.
And it is time to come to that reality. And
that is not something that I say lightly. And I
am not saying pick up a banner in Charlie Kirk's
name in March after war. We're not there yet. And
even when we are, his name better than not be
on that fucking banner. That's not what he wants. But

(47:28):
I'm gonna say this yet again. There are things that
we can do. There are things that we should do.
There are things that you need to start doing. You
need to get involved.

Speaker 29 (47:37):
Too.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Many of us have been sitting on the sidelines while
we've been watching this country burn from the inside out.
COVID woke a lot of people up, not nearly enough.

Speaker 13 (47:47):
This is it.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
This is where we are. Where do we go from here?
Get off your ass. That's where we go from here.
Reach out to your state people, your state legislators. Make
sure that they understand what it is that you want
from them, what you need from them, and that you're
going to hold them accountable. Do the same thing to
your federal congress critters and your federal senators. Make them understand.

(48:09):
We are at war. We don't want to be at war,
we didn't ask to be at war, but we're at war.
It was an ideological war until September tenth, twenty twenty five.
Now it's a hot war, whether we want it to
be one or not. We didn't fire the first shot.
I don't know when the next shots ring out. I
don't know who's going to be firing them. We didn't
fire the first shot, though, So now it's time to

(48:30):
get involved. Now it's time to mobilize. Now it's time
to do all the things that we've been saying that
we need to do, but we haven't been doing them
because I don't really want to. I just I just
don't want to face it. I don't want to face it. Well,
guess what it's facing you now you don't have a
choice anymore. If you, like me, want to leave this

(48:53):
world better than you found it and make sure that
you have a positive world for your children and your grandchildren,
those of you like me who have them. Thinking back
to the author of this piece being eleven on two
thousand and one, but that only puts him to be
a couple of years older than Charlie Kirk. That's the

(49:15):
other thing. This person who's writing this piece is thirty
three if I'm doing the math right. So it was
eleven in two thousand and one, so that would have
put him born in ninety So yeah, no, I guess, well,
depending on birthday thirty two, yeah, thirty three or thirty four.

(49:41):
I don't know birthday. Why does that matter? I don't
really know. I got stuck with trying to do math
in my head. Man, don't chudge me. But no, seriously,
where do we go from here? I wish I had
the answers. And for those of you that are starting
to put things in the chat, I'll be back to
that in a second. I don't have that screen up
right now. I just want to think I'm ignoring you,

(50:01):
especially not today. But seriously, I don't have the answers,
but I know where we start. Where we start is
we start remembering that this country has to survive. And
unlike the Democrats who say this all the time, at
all costs, is now on the table, we didn't put
it on the table. They did. They started doing it

(50:23):
a decade ago and even longer, because it wasn't happening
as much in public circles when I first started doing this,
but in private circles leftists that you had in your life,
anytime you said something that they disagreed with, that's racist.
Why are you such a homophobe? Why are you why
are you saying those things? And again at first, and

(50:44):
it may have been the for my friends in my
life at the time that were that way, I thought
it was hyperbolic. I thought it was just the way
to shut down the argument. That's not what it is anymore.
May have been seventeen years ago, that's not what it
is now. When they say those things to you, if
they don't have a letter behind their name and they're
not a public figure, they believe them because they've been

(51:05):
told to believe them. You have an entire generation of
people at this point, because remember, they've been shrinking the
generational links that when I was a kid, it was
twenty five years, then a shrinked to like twenty two.
Now they seem to be breaking them up in sixteen
year increments. Not really sure why, but that's not for
me to know, and I don't really care, but that

(51:25):
means that we're talking about what from twenty eight to
twenty twenty fours? Are twenty twenty five? Is how long?
How long? Sixteen years going on seventeen sixteen going? Sorry,
sorry did I mention? I'm still sleeping preference. So you've
had an entire generation who has had democratic leadership their

(51:46):
entire lives telling you that we are the enemy, We
are Nazis, we are fascists, we are evil, we are
a threat to America, we are a threat to democracy.
Are you really surprised that some of them started believing you?
Or is that what you wanted? And we talked about

(52:07):
this yesterday because you had that moment where Schumer and
fucking what is the other guy's name, Hakim Jeffries took
to the pulpit and I say pulpit for a reason
at this point, because they're preaching hate from behind Electron.
They don't want you to think that's what they're doing,
but that's what they're doing. And yes, I know, in
normal circumstances is called a podium. Not for those two,

(52:30):
it's a pulpit. Their religion is hate and they peddle
it every day. I said it. I don't give a
shit because we can't anymore. Feelings cannot equate it. Feelings
cannot be part of the equation anymore. They can't because
these people want you to stop breathing. If the best

(52:55):
case scenario is they want you to tuck your tail
between your legs, shut your mouth and never say a
word again them, ever again, and if you do that,
they win. That's what this asshole wanted. And yes, now
that his name is out and I know who he is,
silly's saying it not gonna happen. I've said it once.
That's all he gets. From now on, he will be

(53:15):
the asshole. That's what this asshole wanted. We know this,
and I'm gonna see if I can find it while
we're on the break. Apparently this asshole was actually debating
with Charlie Kirk in one of these very scenarios where
he just killed him allegedly.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
I know.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Allegedly, but going back to the article for a second
so I can finish this up before we get too
far past the top of the hour, because we're getting
pretty close. How do you and this is and the
reason I'm going back to this because this kind of
ties into what I'm talking about right now. How do
you coexist with someone who thinks your life is expendable

(54:01):
because your views are inconvenient? How do you share a
country with people who would rather see you dead than
see you vote. That's the question that's eating away at
both me and this author this September twelfth. I don't
feel hope. I don't see a bride horizon that once
emerged even from the ashes of the Twin Towers. What

(54:23):
I see now is darkness, cultural, spiritual, and political, while
the opposition party leadership is preaching hate from their pulpit
every single day. That's me, not the author. Back then,
we sang God Bless America at baseball games and mint it.
Now half the country booze the anthem and calls the
flag a symbol of oppression. Back then, we found comfort
in prayer. Now prayer is mocked. Faith is shamed, even

(54:46):
though they have their own because Remember, their religion is hate,
and they preach it every day, and the very freedom
is enshrined in our constitution are treated like obstacles to progress.
Back then, the common enemy was clear. Today the co
common enemy is anyone who dares to challenge progressive orthodoxy.
Charlie Kirk's assassination is not just a tragedy. It is

(55:07):
a warning. It is a clarion call of a warning,
ladies and gentlemen, a warning that we are walking down
a road where political violence isn't the exception, it is
now the expectation. And once that door is open, and
remember we didn't open it, there is no closing it.
That this is the Pandora's box of the situation that
we find ourselves in. Now that that is open, there's

(55:32):
no closing it. Back to the author, I wish I
could say I feel the same hope I felt eleven
years ago as I felt at eleven years old on
September twelve, two thousand and one. But today I don't.
Today I feel something much more fragile resolve. If America
is to survive, if freedom is to endure, then the

(55:53):
rest of us must refuse to bend to fear or
to violence. We must refuse to be silent, because if
we don't, September twelfth will no longer be a symbol
of unity after tragedy. Instead, it will mark the day
that we realize we may not have a country left.
He and night. After all, it's on my ex feed busy.

(56:29):
I just usually do it as housekeeping right before we
go to break. I'll usually, if I can remember, post
out the articles that I've been referencing, because I want
to make sure they get clicks off of them too.
I'll just be reading them all right. Let's see, we
got about three minutes, you know what. I'm gonna go
ahead and call it and start the break a little
bit early because I gotta go get some more cough drops.

(56:50):
I thought I had more here than one I have.

Much everything about him.

Speaker 5 (59:34):
In the moment that the officers and I had to
come see the children, my biggest reaction was, I don't
have seven arms. I have seven children who just lost
their father, and I don't have seven arms to wrap
around them.

Speaker 8 (59:59):

of mind.

Speaker 7 (01:00:02):
The thought of what in the world will I possibly
do to pay the bills? How will I possibly let
the children have a life that feels normal. I don't
want them to have to quit their piano lessons or
their basketball. I don't want them to feel that we
have to move into a little apartment and struggle financially.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
Through the.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
Welcome sous I forgot to shut something off my mad
trying to bring up my microphone and brought up the
wrong slider. Anyway, so we're back, We're live. This is
a Friday EDIU, but we're doing things a little bit
differently today. If we want to give a quick shout
out to everybody law enforcement circles, first responders, whether it's UH, firefighters,
police officers, paramedics, dispatchers, and in some cases even security officers.

(01:09:49):
Because you guys, I know they I know they act
like you guys don't do much. I know better because
I used to run a security agency. For years, So
do you want to do that? Also, probably towards the
end of this hour, will still do the military tribute
because you know it has to be done. But I
just so I keep asking the question where do we

(01:10:09):
go from here? I do want to do this because
I have been it has been my distinct pleasure and
honor to drag most of the leftist morons that have,
you know, come out of the woodwork regarding Charlie Kirk.
But there is there is a positive one one that
I've been able to find from an actual legacy publication.
So this was I believe from the Gray Lady. I think,

(01:10:37):
and I quote. You can dislike much of what Kirk believed,
and the following statement is still true. Kirk was practicing
politics and exactly the right way. He was showing up
on campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him.
He was one of the era's most effective practitioners of persuasion.
When the left thought his hold on the hearts and
minds of college students was nearly absolute, Kirk showed up

(01:10:59):
again and again and again to break it slowly than
all at once. He did. College age voter shifted sharply
right in the twenty twenty four election. That was not
all Kirk's doing, but he was central in laying the
groundwork for it. The author I did not know Kirk,
and I am not on the right, and I'm not

(01:11:20):
the right person to eulogize him, but I envied what
he built. A taste for disagreement is a virtue, and
a democracy liberalism could use more of his more of it,
more of his moxy. Sorry, for some reason, I kept
seeing movie I was like, that would make sense and fearlessness.
In the inaugural episode of his podcast, Governor Gavenusom of

(01:11:43):
California host to Kirk, admitting that his son was a
huge fan. What a testament to Kirk's project. Political violence
is a virus. It's contagious. We have been through periods
in this country where it was endemic. In the nineteen
sixties there were the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X. Martin,
Luther King Junior, Robert F. Kennedy, and Medgar Evers. In

(01:12:06):
the nineteen seventies, Governor George Wallace was shot by a
would be assassin but survived, and Gerald Ford faced two
assassination attempts in one month in nineteen eighty one, Ronald
Reagan survived after John Hinckley John Hinckley Junior's bullet ricocheted
off of his rib and punctured his lung. These assassinations,
and these assassins and would be assassins had different motives,

(01:12:28):
different politics, and at different levels of mental stability. When
political violence becomes imaginable, either as a tool of politics
or a ladder for fame, it begins to infect hosts heedlessly.
American politics has sides. There's no use pretending otherwise, but

(01:12:49):
both sides are meant to be on the same side
of a much larger project. We are all or most
of us anyway, trying to maintain the viability of the
American experiment. We can live with losing an election because
we believe in the promise of the next election. We
can live with losing an argument because we believe that
there will be another argument. Political violence imperils that Kirk

(01:13:12):
and I author again, were on different sides of most
political arguments. We were on the same side of the
continued possibility of American politics. It is supposed to be
an argument, not a war. It is supposed to be
one with words on it, with bullets. I wanted Kirk
to be safe for his sake, but I also wanted

(01:13:32):
him to be safe from mine and for the sake
of our larger shared project. The same is true for Shapiro,
for Hoffman, for Hortman, for Thompson, for Trump, for Pelosi,
for Whittmer. We are all safe or none of us
are and on cue ex Bernie Sanders. Press secretary Brianna

(01:13:57):
Joy Gray lashes out at Ezra Kline over his New
York Times piece honoring Charlie Kirk, and I quote, seriously,
does Ezra Klein have no one in his life, no editor,
no friend to tell him not to publish this. If
you're black or trans, or an immigrant or an Arab
or a woman, how can you read a word, read

(01:14:18):
a word, Ezra without thinking, this is a guy who
will excuse extreme violence and bigotry against me as secondary
to the Zechs notes belief in the continued possibility of
American politics, and this, ladies and gentlemen, is part of
the reason why this needs to die. Words are not violence.

(01:14:43):
Disagreeing with someone is not violent. Triggering you to the
point where it makes you stop and think is not violence. Again,
I didn't agree with Charlie Kirk one hundred percent of
the time. But as I've been saying quite often, if
you believe with someone one hundred percent of the time,
you need to look at yourself in the mirror. Hell,

(01:15:04):
I don't even agree with myself one hundred percent of
the time before anybody yells at me about that. According
to my grandmother, it's okay to talk to yourself. She's
now sainted, So hold your tongue. It's okay to talk
to yourself. It's even okay to answer yourself. It's when
you ask yourself what the fuck you're talking about that
you know you've got a problem. I have had those moments, though,

(01:15:25):
so maybe I do have a problem. See I get
that busy in the chat, and I'm gonna put it
up on the screen because it bears discussion. So hang on.

(01:15:47):
That was the wrong one because he was typing a
new one, ren as I went to click on one hand,
I desperately want as he called them, as he calls
them demo rats, I call them demon rats anymore. Yeah, anyway,
and left us to continue on this path so we
can truly crush them at war. And that is a
very visceral and common reaction that we're having today. And

(01:16:11):
I I'm kind of there with you. I know, I'm
one of the ones calling for you know, cooler heads
and you know, fighting fight in the safe ways that
we still can without without pulling the trigger on an
actual civil war. But I understand the sentiment because they

(01:16:33):
have in fact declared war on us. First. This became
a hot war on September tenth, twenty twenty five. There's
no way around it. I mean, honestly, it became a
hot war before that, after the first assassination attempt of Trump,
but we weren't ready to see it yet. We're in
a hot war with some folks that are I mean,

(01:16:55):
there's no way to put it. If you if you
think this is okay, then you're evil. I can't sugarcoat
it anymore. If you think what happened is okay, you're evil.
Because and again this is going back to some of
the folks that used to be in my life in

(01:17:16):
the different places that I've worked, and we've kind of
stayed in touch through social media and everything else over
the years that I'm slowly starting to remove the ones
that haven't removed already because of them posting things like
those of you that are crying over Charlie Kirk were
just giddy over the possibility of an immigrant being eaten
my an alligator just a couple of weeks ago. First

(01:17:38):
of all, you just described a hypothetical thing that was
never going to fucking happen. Second, you're giddy over somebody
actually dying. You're giddy over a wife becoming a widow.
You're giddy over a one year old and a three
year old never knowing their father by anything more than
stories and pictures. We are not the same, and I'm

(01:18:00):
tired of pretending that we are. So where do we
go from here? I know I've been scribed, I know
I've asked this question a lot today. I know it's repetitive.
Some of you are like, oh my god, how many
more fucking times are gonna ask this question? There's a reason,
because I'm driving this point home. That's part of what
you need to decide. Where do you go from here?

(01:18:21):
Is this a turning point for you or is it
a tipping point for you? I can't make that decision
for you. For me, it's a little bit of both,
because I've had to come to terms with the fact
that modern day leftists are evil incarnate. It's a hard
thing to say. There would have been just a few

(01:18:46):
short days ago, me even recoiling at the fact of
saying it. Because we want discourse, we want to be
able to find ways to come together, We want to
be able to find common ground. But they aren't willing
to do that anymore. And even the folks on my
side of the aisle that do this stuff for a
living can't seem to come to terms with that. Yet.

(01:19:06):
I keep seeing from everywhere, from more conservative folks on
Fox News and News Nation and everywhere else, it is
time to bring Democrats and Republicans back to the table,
and the President needs to start working on finding some
things that we can agree on so that we can
start focusing on that. The problem is, it doesn't matter
if they agree, because it can't happen because it's Trump.

(01:19:31):
This is something that a lot of us, including myself,
have been struggling to come to terms with. It doesn't
matter they could agree with one hundred percent of what
he says. They're not gonna let it happen because of
Trump and because it's Trump. And if you don't believe me,
look at what's happening with his cabinet appointments and his
position appointments. They are using every procedural trick in the

(01:19:52):
books to delay all of them as much as possible
to try to stop and help keep anything else being
implace by this administration. And then when all their procedural
tricks are done, most of them are being sailed through
at you know, ninety seven to three, which means they
agree and they're still doing everything they can to stop

(01:20:17):
it because they're playing politics. And the thing that we
need to come to terms with is that is what
they have always done, especially since Obama. And this feels
like a good time to remind you of a conversation
that I've had anecdotal. It may be for those of

(01:20:38):
you who have been around for a while, you know
that I have been doing this stuff for almost seventeen years.
One of the very first podcasts started as a Facebook page.
We tried to have a little bit of fun with it.
The original co host was gimp like me, so had
I had the limp, He had only one hand, he

(01:21:00):
was congenital to birth defect, and so we came up
with cute nicknames actually that we'd given each other because
there was one time that I was walking the roads
at the call center and he was actually on a
call and I accidentally bumped his chair, and I guess
it frustrated him a little bit. And I'm like, oh, look,

(01:21:22):
I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, it's fine, Wobbles, and I
kind of chuckled and he kind of truckled. So the
next day we wound up sitting next to close to
each other and we had a little in our crawl volume,
and he's like, hey, what's up, Wobbles, And I looked
over and realized we well. I was like, not much, Nubs,
how are you? And those were our nicknames for each

(01:21:43):
other for years, and eventually what started as Facebook page
became a podcast, and it was originally launched under the
name of Wobbles and Nubs Present My two Cents, and
we build ourselves as the low Rent Hannity and Combs,
because that was about the time that their show was dissolving,

(01:22:06):
or I had dissolved already, if memory serves, but it
hadn't been that long ago. The mast head had just changed,
so to speak. But I realized and back then and
it was easy to say, there were seven or eight
issues that we were never going to be able to
agree on. But it was really easy to find common

(01:22:30):
ground if we could remove those seven or eight issues.
When we got serious about the show and started, you know,
trying to make it less campy. That actually became the
name of the show, finding common ground, because we could.
You can't anymore. There were seven or eight issues that
were kind of hot buttons back then. You need to

(01:22:51):
if you were going to try to find common ground,
you just had to realize, for these things we're gonna
have to agree to disagree, let's start finding places where
we can't agree. It was easy back then. Well fast
forward a few years and he took a new job
working in a library, so he wasn't able to do
the broadcast and the timeframe that I was able to

(01:23:13):
do it. So he suggested bringing in someone that had
appeared at as a guest on our show a couple
of weeks ago, and unbeknownst to me, I had no
idea how young the kid was. I didn't look him
up or anything. We just had him on the show.
I figured he was eighteen nineteen years old. Turns out
he was sixteen, but he was already a co host
by then. And then because he was sixteen, and because

(01:23:34):
he was in kind of an interesting school district on
the East Coast, I actually became his teacher for two years.
He was able to declare the podcast as an elective,
but that means I had to give him home work
and I actually had to be his teacher. Now, his
regular teacher still did all the grading and stuff, but
I still had to handle all the you know, this
is what I want you to do, blah blah blah.

(01:23:55):
Why am I saying all this to you? Because this
is part of where do we go from here? This kid,
keep in mind, this is twenty fifteen ish, so I
think it was it was right maybe twenty fourteen, because
we hadn't moved yet, and I moved in fifteen, so
it was either the beginning of fifteen or the middle

(01:24:18):
of fourteen when the handoff happened. And this kid who
was sixteen, keep in mind that means in fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
which was the time frames he was doing the show
with me. Almost all of his formative years were spent
with Obama in office, and I remember how distraught he

(01:24:40):
was when Donald Trump won and he was like, I
just don't get it with everything going the way it
was and how this was for pretty much my entire life.
I honestly thought the Democrats were going to run everything
for forever, but much like Charlie Kirk and granted on
a much small or scale, because I was conversing with

(01:25:03):
someone and trying to remain rational with him as much
as I can. I know Charlie Kirk, there are times
when I will get pissed off and people well know.
One of the things that I had him do as
his final project was listening to the very first episode
we had ever done together and then listen to the
very last episode that we were going to do together.
Because as he was going getting ready for college, He's like,

(01:25:24):
I can't do this anymore, and I'm like, okay, that's fine.
Now he's offernting his own business and trying to build
it and everything else. That may be a topic for
another day, but so he does the project, sends me back,
he's written report on it so he can turn it

(01:25:45):
into his teacher, but then reaches out to me on
Facebook messenger. I fucking hate you. Excuse me, what are
you talking about? It's like what He's like, I just
finish my assignment. You'll get the email in a second,
but I wanted to tell you I fucking hate you,

(01:26:05):
Like why why what did I do now?

Speaker 17 (01:26:09):
Sir?

Speaker 1 (01:26:10):
What did I do now? Because I've realized, in the
few years that I've been working with you, I'm now
more conservative than i am liberal, Because when you are
willing to keep an open mind, when you are willing
to have rational discussion, conservatism wins the day because it

(01:26:31):
only makes sense. But only if you're willing to have
a rational discussion and keep an open mind. Then sometimes
that takes prolonged exposure over time to be able to
do it. Not because I was brainwashing him, but because
I was deprogramming what his school had shown him, what
the Democratic Party has shown him. And I will tell
you there was a jump the shark moment for him.

(01:26:52):
He went on to go to college in Washington, d C.
He was riding his bike and I get a text
message at eleven thirty eleven forty five at night my time,
and he's frantic, and I'm like, dude, you know me,
I usually prefer to text, but let's just go just

(01:27:13):
go ahead and call me. He's like, I finally get it. Now,
I'm like, what are you talking? To me, is like,
everything you were trying to teach me, I finally get
it now. Everything you were trying to make me understand,
I finally get it now. And he's just talking ninety
mile an hour and I'm like, dude, what is going on.
He's like, I was just mugged in the middle of Washington, DC.

(01:27:34):
Somebody just took my watch, my wallet, my bike. The
only thing I had left was my phone and that
was only because it was in a pocket that they
weren't willing to reach into because they were it was
taking too long. And he said, and I'm sitting there
with people just walking past me, thinking somebody's gonna help me.

(01:27:59):
He said, I get it now. Because one of his
biggest things was guns, you know, and our ability for
self defense. He's like, we don't need that. We can
call the cops. We can do this, we can do that.
He's like, I finally get it. Everything that I thought
would happen if I was ever in that situation, the
exact oppic that happened. Everybody left me alone. Everybody walked

(01:28:23):
past it, Nobody said anything, nobody intervened, nobody even tried
to stop the guy. And this is why I laughed
every time I heard somebody from Washington, DC in twenty
twenty five talking about how safe they were. Dude, this
is twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. We're talking set eight nine
years ago, and y'all are full of shit. Because if

(01:28:46):
it was that bad, then he's actually planning on it, Denny.
He's working on getting his company off the ground, and
then I think we're going to work together to push it.
So at some point he probably actually will be on
at least one of the shows. But this is the point.
This is what Charlie Kirk, what I was able to
do with one person, Charlie Kirk has done with millions.

(01:29:09):
But the thing about it is whether you have a
smaller sample size or a larger sample size. When you
can compare and you realize the same thing happened on
both scales, this is when you know that you're on
the right side of an argument, which is why his
favorite thing was, you know, prove me wrong. And I'm

(01:29:37):
gonna say this, I don't care how old you are.
I don't care how young you are, I don't care
how experience, how experienced or inexperienced you think you are.
In this kind of stuff. If you believe even a
modicum of what Charlie Kirk believed, we all have to
become Charlie Kirk. Now, whether it's just in your own

(01:29:57):
little circle or whether you find a way to expand,
it doesn't really matter. If enough, if enough of us
are working within our circles to be the change that
the world needs, we still win. We still win. And
I get it some of some of you are afraid.

Speaker 2 (01:30:17):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:30:19):
I'm seeing it everywhere. I don't know if I want
to speak out about anything anymore, not even with my family,
because look at what look at what's starting to happen,
and it's it's been a thing since COVID. There have
been people disinvited from family functions because they were Trump voters.
There have been people within entire families that don't speak
to one another for political differences. I'm not judging anyone.

(01:30:42):
I'm gonna say I don't understand that, but I'm not
judging anyone. My brother and I are completely diametrically opposed politically.
We don't talk much, but we do still talk. All Right,

(01:31:05):
We're gonna take a break, so I need a minute.
My name is Rick Robinson. This is my show. It's
the Friday edition. Brat'll be joining us at the top
of the hour for the weekend news round up. We'll
be right back. Stay tuned. Not the song I thought

(01:31:33):
it was. We're running with it anyway.

Speaker 38 (01:31:38):
What houses and trees lie on the road, rustyl signs
and splattered fence posts and gas stage and suffers. What
I've come to know with a little spirit change in a.

Speaker 14 (01:31:57):
Good night call home. The street lines and tires line
the side, the harm on this van.

Speaker 38 (01:32:19):
It eases my mind. I still haven't grown up, but
I think.

Speaker 39 (01:32:25):
I'll be fine if I.

Speaker 14 (01:32:27):
Can lick it back home or a little sleep tonight.

Speaker 39 (01:32:37):
It's so true that I can't quit. I try to
hold off, but I give in. Can I reach for
something to live for?

Speaker 33 (01:32:54):
Because we're all now more.

Speaker 14 (01:33:00):
From this barn heard this motel weird.

Speaker 33 (01:33:07):
But the saint the end.

Speaker 38 (01:33:20):
A rat shell is drunks bicker at the bar, the
fighting over girls who were never there's to start, and
the old high school flames. They act like best friends,
though they didn't even.

Speaker 33 (01:33:37):
Know my name back then.

Speaker 14 (01:33:43):
But we'll catch up movie, because it's all.

Speaker 33 (01:33:47):
The drum that I came quick.

Speaker 14 (01:33:52):
I try to hold off, but I give in.

Speaker 37 (01:33:58):
Can I reach for something to the live for because
of ram Mail themore in this part there's this a
motel weirding, but the same the end of my travels.

Speaker 14 (01:34:20):
It ain't the end of my pain over its start.

Speaker 33 (01:34:24):
Of the room that I chose to take so dr.

Speaker 38 (01:34:41):
That I came quin.

Speaker 14 (01:34:45):

Speaker 29 (01:36:10):
What you got alone.

Speaker 11 (01:36:25):
Com to get them through the stone.

Speaker 40 (01:36:33):
And welcome back into the program, ladies and gentlemen again.
I am Rick Robinson. This is the Rick Robinson Show.
We do this thing every Tuesday through Friday, starting at
anam Eastern. We have various ending times, uh for it
usually is ten to noon. Today will be the Friday edition,
so it'll be ten to one. We have Brad Schlager

(01:36:53):
from Town Hall, Red State and Kaylor Radio joining us.

Speaker 1 (01:36:56):
The top of hour three as we get ready for
your weekend news round up. I'm sure it will probably
be absorbed with all the things that we've been talking
about all week and again asking the question where do
we go from here? I would like to point out
another asshole saying asshole ass things, Brooklyn Dad. I don't

(01:37:20):
know why anybody engages with his dude. I don't know
why he's got a following at all, but he You know,
as soon as the name of the asshole dropped, the
alleged shooter, oh look, not trans, not black, and not
an ultra leftist. Really okay, so you had me on
the first two. Obviously, he's not chocolate and he's not trans.

(01:37:45):
Did you miss the inscriptions on the bullets? Motherfucker? He
is a rabid leftist. He is a militant leftist. And
you can try to spend it all you want. This
is on you, guys. You will have spent ten years
demonizing us, and now we're being hunted. There's no other

(01:38:07):
way to put this. We are being hunted, and one
side of it, one side of the equation is fine
with it. One side of the equation is celebrating it.
Happily and luckily that side is shrinking effective September tenth,
for how long I don't really know, but it doesn't
change the fact that we are actively being hunted. All

(01:38:28):
of the things they told us that they were afraid
we were going to do, they actually do, and somehow
it's okay because we're the problem. Charlie Kirk was never
an asshole to anybody. I can't find any of his
recorded experiences with people where he was doing the Proved

(01:38:49):
Me Wrong tours and everything else where he was ever
anything more than maybe a little snarky in his shoes.
I would have been a lot snarky in some of
these cases. So I commend his ability to remain civil
and remain cool headed. I'm not always very good that,

(01:39:12):
But I'm gonna tell you part of the reason why
I don't know where we go from here is I
don't think we realize the ramifications of what they've done yet.
The reason Donald Trump won in twenty twenty four was
Charlie Kirk in a lot of respects because the youth

(01:39:32):
that already started shifting right and Charlie was already in
there changing their minds. Now everybody gets mad at me
when I make this comparison. But for me, I don't
like comparing him to MLK, not because I don't think
he deserves it, but because I know too many people
on the left, especially people of color, would be absolutely

(01:39:55):
pissed off. I actually compare this to this generation's John F. Kennedy,
and I know that you can't really say that because
he's not a politician. No, but dude was a kingmaker.
Thirty one years old. Dude was a kingmaker. They had
already started asking him, are you ever going to run
for president? Even if he chose not to do that.

(01:40:21):
One of the biggest kingmakers of a generation has just
been assassinated. He was asked just a while ago, and
what he said was, we just got Trump elected. My
next focus is to make sure that JD. Vance becomes
the next president of the United States. And I don't
really have any interest in being a politician because he

(01:40:46):
knew his role. Now, at some point he may have
changed his mind. He had four years that decide, or
would have had, and probably I don't think he would
have run at quite that age. Maybe after hopefully we
get eight years advance, which would have put him in
what in his mid forties. But now we're never gonna

(01:41:12):
know because somebody was murdered for a difference of opinion.
I'm gonna say that again, and I need you to
hear me. Someone was murdered for a difference of opinion,
not just murdered, but assassinated in public within view of

(01:41:33):
his children. Is this who we are now? Because a
good bit of the country seems to be okay with it,
Brooklyn Dad is taking a victory lap today because oh look,
he's not trans, and he's not black, and as far
as I'm concerned, he's not a leftist with all information
pointing to the contrary. So not only do I need

(01:41:57):
to know where we go from here? Am I going
to be trying to figure out where I go from here?
Is this who we are now? A Pandora's box was
opened after the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Now
that they've succeeded, the problem with Pandora's box is once

(01:42:20):
it gets opened. So all right, So this has been

(01:42:44):
played a little bit, and i'd send it over to
BES because I knew I was almost done. But I
want to play this now, and I'm gonna warn you
you may want to make sure that you've taken your
allergy medication because reasons. As soon as I find it,
go hang on this. This was kind of huge in

(01:43:12):
my opinion.

Speaker 9 (01:43:15):
O Christen Vity fiening fan win too for here An

Welcome Homatarly, you did deserve it.

Speaker 24 (01:43:25):

Speaker 1 (01:43:31):

Speaker 10 (01:43:36):

Welcome Homatarily, you did deserve it, make up, Bless your family.

Speaker 1 (01:43:53):
I hope your allergy meds are up to date. That's
about the fourth or fifth time I listened to that,
and it's still almost got me. Going back to one
of the articles that I was going over with you
guys earlier about you know, September twelfth was a unifying moment.

(01:44:15):
I want to focus on something that the author pointed
out that while he didn't have hope, there was no
joy for the future. There was a much quieter emotion.
And dare I say, probably, even though it's a more
subdued emotion and it always is when it settles in,
probably stronger than any of the others combined. And that's resolve.

(01:44:37):
Our resolve is often termed two as termed as fragile,
because it's up to you how long you allow yourself
to hold on to it. So I'm going to say this,
keep it, keep it. I don't know where we go

(01:44:59):
from here. Again, I wish I did. I wish I
had answers for you. I wish there was a switch
that I could flip and take us back to September
ninth and go, hey, guys, this is about to happen
and we need to stop this. I wish, I wish
that was a possibility, but it's not. I would give

(01:45:25):
anything to be part of a universe where we actually
got to see what Charlie Kirk was able to do
with the rest of his life. He had already done
so much while half of us were bouncing from career

(01:45:48):
path to career path for various reasons, one being afraid
of public speaking. I know irony of ironies with what
I do now, including the fact that I do now
speak publicly when asked, and at eighteen, dude was a

(01:46:08):
dynamo at eighteen. I keep coming back to the very
first appearance he ever did on the Fox on Fox
and Friends in two thousand and two at eighteen. Oh sorry,

(01:46:34):
I'm in the wrong place. I was trying to grab
the article. I can't do that from inside the studio though.
Hang on. Oh there's a delay on that one. Oh

(01:46:54):
thank you. This is actually what I wanted to talk about.
For the last few minutes. I held on reading this
one because I wasn't exactly sure where Slickter was going
with it. But this is actually, this is actually a
really good read. I'm gonna put it out on my
x account before we start going into it. You perfectly
have my attention to minimize and go to the article

(01:47:16):
if you wish, because you can always come back if
you haven't read it yet. I do encourage you to
do so. And I just put it out on my feed.
And then there's something else I want to talk about
real quick, so I'm not going to read it all,
so you're welcome to read some of it later. This
may be the hardest column I've ever written, one where

(01:47:38):
I'm so angry that it's hard for me to put
my words into a sequence that's both coherence and not profane.
They murdered Charlie Kirk today. They shot him dead because
he dared to exercise his right as a un being
to speak freely. Contrary to what Democrats senators insist, our
rights did not come from the government, but are endowed
and within us, and given by our creators. So this

(01:47:59):
was not merely a crime against one man or against
his beautiful family, but against both this country and our God.
I'm going to read this next sentence, but then I
need you to hang tight, because it's not going to
be exactly how you think, and it will be righteously avenged.
I'll leave it to others who knew him even better

(01:48:20):
to tell you about what a wonderful guy he was.
There have already been testimonies to that truth, and there
will be more. But I can say that I did
many hits on his podcast, and he was always polite
and insight and incisive. I texted with him occasionally, and
we did not always agree. However, the last text he
sent me was to thank me. I asked him to
be a guest on a radio show I was guest tosting,

(01:48:42):
and he had a conflict. His last text was to
thank me for inviting him. Like the Great Andrew Breitbart,
another visionary taken from us far too soon. He inspired thousands,
perhaps millions, of patriots. The ripples from Charlie Kirk will
go on in our politics and our culture for decades.
His work helped bring Donald Trump back into the White House.

(01:49:03):
Countless young people got into the movement through Turning Point USA,
just like countless folks got their start in this movement
through Andrew Breitbart. There's going to be a Turning Point
USA President somewhere down the road, someone who got his
start at one of Charlie Kirk's conventions, listening to a
podcast or attempt or attending a campus visit. He's not

(01:49:23):
going to be forgotten. They may have killed him, but
they're not going to kill the movement he started. Oh no,
they don't get to win. They don't get to murder
their way to victory. They don't get to scare us,
intimidate us, or decapitate our movement. We're going to double down. No,
we're going to triple down. The Democrats are out there
with their weasel words today, taking a pause from calling

(01:49:46):
us all fascists, including just the day before he was murdered,
Charlie Kirk specifically to express their sorrow and grief. They
mouth the right words, but their words are empty. They
are lies. They ring hollow to stir sorry that they're
going to get tarred appropriately with the same brush as
this killer or killers. After their acolytes tried to wipe

(01:50:09):
out a Republican congressional softball team, went rampaging through various
Christian schools and attempted twice to kill Donald Trump, succeeding
in killing Corey COMPATORI. Their lamentations ring empty. I don't
believe a damn word of them. They call us Nazis.
What do you think they want to happen to us
when they call us Nazis? We must mourn, but we

(01:50:30):
must rally. We're feeling a cold fury that other enemies
of America have felt the effects of in the past,
including the semi humans who attacked us twenty four years
ago less a day, and this was written on September tenth.
But these are domestic enemies, and indulging our fury is
not the answer. Oh, that doesn't mean we don't buy
guns and ammunition. That doesn't mean we don't lawfully conceal carry.

(01:50:53):
That doesn't mean we don't meet direct violence with lawful violence.
In return, we can and will defend ourselves. The leftists
are giggling with delight. There's no surprise to us in
the fight, but normals will be repelled. For that reason,
we should encourage leftists to share their beliegancy freely, but
understand that they hate you and literally want you to

(01:51:14):
be murdered. We will be tempted to head back to
hurt people who've hurt us. That's not the way. As
much as we want to take out our anger on
the left, as much as we want to strike out
and lash out, and that's not what our constitution demands,
that's not what Charlie Kirk would want. We're not terrorists
and we're not murderers. We've got the constitution. Our constitution

(01:51:35):
addresses how to deal with this solution. We have laws,
and we control the federal law enforcement apparatus. We will
turn its full weight against not only the perpetrators of
this crime, but the people behind the web of subversion
from the left. Think of a J six prosecution level effort,
except it will not be an attempt to frame people

(01:51:56):
by contorting the law and perverting the justices. Between the
savagery and the savagery on the North Carolina bus line.
The Overton window has been thrown wide open, and it's
time to defenstrate the left. No, not with unfocused retaliation,

(01:52:16):
but with full force of the law, and we have
the people in positions to do it. If this had
happened under President Eggplant, or as I called them, the
Cauliflower and Chief Hell, I don't even have to use
that as a hypothetical. What do we know about the
Butler shooter? Not a damn thing. However, we now have
President Trump in the White House. We now have Cash

(01:52:36):
Brittell and Dan BUNGI know what the FBI, and Pam
Bondi and Harmei Dylan of the Justice Department. This is
what they are. This is when they are in their pay.
This is when being in charge means something, because now
we have not just the opportunity, but the duty to
dig deep into the web of leftist subversion that has
been undermining our society and culture and our country. I'm

(01:53:00):
not going to keep reading it because it's a long piece,
and I don't want to read the entire thing over
the air, But you get the gist of it, and
I agree with him all heartily. But there's a reason
with the headline being what it was that I read
off or held off going into it on the air
because I wasn't exactly sure where Slicker was going to
go with it. But I agree with him. We still
have legal means at our disposal. We still have the

(01:53:21):
ability to make the changes that we need. We still
have the ability to be the change that we need
to be in the world. So what I'm going to
say to you again is, don't cower, don't go hide.
Find your lane. Everybody's got a lane. Sometimes it takes
you a while to figure out what your lane is,
which is why I've only been doing this for the

(01:53:41):
past seventeen years. A reminder, I'm fifty two. Sometimes it
takes you a while to find your lane. Once you
find it, once you know what it is, stay in
it and run. Just run. Don't think about it, don't
stress about it. Actually, if you know what's what you're
supposed to be doing, just do it. They tried to

(01:54:05):
end a movement on the tenth. We can't let that happen.
It's up to all of us now. Charlie Kirk did
the heavy lifting. He did something that conservatives thought was impossible.
The reason they silenced him, and We've talked about this

(01:54:26):
over and over and over again on the various shows
that I've done here on this network, the guest spots
that I've done on other networks. Since Wednesday. The Left
thought they had a lock on the youth. Charlie Kirk
stole that from them. That's why he's dead today. That's

(01:54:49):
why he's dead today. That's why just the day before
this happened, you had a Democratic Senate critter making the statement,
we are at war for the all of America and
you must be willing to do whatever is necessary to
save her. That's incitement. That's incitement. I so, yeah, Besie's

(01:55:27):
making a valid point, and I don't. I don't. I
don't want to. I don't want to Babe ruth it.
But I don't really see how the Democrats rally at
this point. I could be wrong. We're still over a
year away, but I don't know how the Democratic Party
rally at this point. I would be surprised if there
is still a Democratic Party at this point by the

(01:55:47):
time we get to twenty twenty eight, I think, I
I I don't. They're They're not viable anymore. Which don't
get me wrong. I think what actually could actually make
this entire situation a lot more dangerous. So yeah, again,

(01:56:14):
I've been asking the question all day, where do we
go from here? I'm going to say what I've been
saying for a long time, and yeah, Well that's the thing, Andrew.
They used to be able to do that. They can't
really do it as well as they used to anymore,
which is why you have so many people that are defecting.

(01:56:43):
I'm not being assumptive. Where in anywhere in this conversation
that I say we need to take our foot off
the gas into twenty twenty six is guaranteed. It's not
what I'm saying. I'm saying, if we're small art, we
will capitalize on this and not allow it to become

(01:57:06):
the off the cliff moment. Because their parties in shambles.
They got nothing, they can't they're not fundraising, I don't
know the way they normally do. They've got no coherent message
other than stop Trump. El Trump's not even on the
ballot in two more years, three more years, and there's
still stop Trump, stopped Trump, Stop Trump, Stop Trump. But

(01:57:27):
that's just it, guys. Their side will memory hold it.
But how small is their side. Now, they had a
nineteen percent approval rating before the tenth I guarantee you
it's even smaller now. The part that nobody's really talking about,

(01:57:49):
which is why I've tried to talk about it here,
is the fact that while there were a lot of
leftists that were celebrating what happened, there were a lot
of leftists appalled by not only what happened, but their
sides celebrating about it. And they're leaving in droves. Anyway,

(01:58:16):
I don't know. I mean, midterm elections typically have lower turnouts,
so who the hell knows. And we also don't have
Trump on the ballot, so again, who the hell knows.
I just know in a sane world, the Democratic Party
would be done. Unfortunately, we don't live in a sane world,
so I don't have answers to questions. All right, we're

(01:58:37):
gonna take a break. I still haven't heard from Brad,
so we'll find out a minute. Hello, friends, you have

Speaker 5 (02:01:55):
In the moment that the officers and I had to
come see the children, my biggest reaction was, I don't
have seven arms. I have seven children who just lost
their father, and I don't have seven arms to wrap
around them.

of what in the world will I possibly do to
pay the bills? How will I possibly let the children
have a life that feels normal. I don't want them
to have to quit their piano lessons or their basketball.
I don't want them to feel that we have to
move into a little apartment and struggle financially.

Just realize the camera angle sucks now when I'm staring
to do erguessar, I'm gonna have to fix that. Trying
to get back to normal. Try and try and try,
and next Friday will probably be well. Better find some
wood to knock on, hang on, let meu just do
that now. Hopefully next Friday's finally Friday edition, we'll move
back to normal. Speaking of things being a little bit

(02:06:46):
different than normal, this is the weekend news roundup segment
of the program that eventually become its own standalone podcast.
Here in just a moment, so, without further ado, I'd
like to start bringing the guests, and yes, I said,
guest contributors that are joining us today. First and foremost,
we have our very own Brad Slag. You're from Kaylaren Radio,
from town Hall and from Red State, and he's got

(02:07:09):
his good hair thing going on again today, Rad with
the good hair. How you doing, sir?

Speaker 17 (02:07:13):
How you doing? Yeah, we're doing fine. We're doing fine.
I'm doing my best to modulate the anger and using
the energy to lash out at the necessary functionalities out there.
Already this morning, I've had to jump a Jonathan Shape,
Brian Stelter, Ill Aan Omar. I mean it's just, you know,

(02:07:37):
the funny thing is how many people in the press
want to say, oh, you know that Twitter and social
media is out of control, but look at how many
damn prominent sources are the ones acting in an imbalanced fashion.
It's just obliviousness of the highest order.

Speaker 1 (02:07:57):
Well, speaking of you know, having to jump, we have
a friend in cohort from message or media who just
messaged me and said, I'm feeling froggy. I want to
come on so here.

Speaker 41 (02:08:06):
He is speaking of obliviousness right here. Maybe I am
the rep of oblivious.

Speaker 1 (02:08:15):
I thought you were the rep of bulbosity, not Oblivia.

Speaker 41 (02:08:18):
To bulbous oblivion. Nice shirt by the way, Brad. And
I'm really curious what Cuball said to you, or what
cueball or what reference to Cuball You're you're making lovely Brian.

Speaker 17 (02:08:33):
Oh, it was you know, it was continuation of what
I wrote about yesterday at Red State, where so many
Democrats and members of the media are coming forward with
you know, it's time to modulate the narrative out there,
and we got to tone down the rhetoric. And they're
basically telling conservatives, who were literally attacked and lost one
of their most prominent voices, that's time to you know,

(02:08:56):
pipe down and keep We got to cool the waters
and down the shut up. And you know, he was
continuing down as he was actually quoting Charlie Kirk, and
it's like, you know, it's time for us to listen
to his words and where he guess what, Brian, we can't.
So we're not going to shut up. And I gave
him a list of quotes from prominent Democrats just within

(02:09:19):
the last couple of weeks that were you know, you
got Chris Murphy calling for war and Gavin Newsom talking
about needing to go out there and actually physically attack Republicans.

Speaker 1 (02:09:31):
Punch him in the face.

Speaker 17 (02:09:32):
And yet we're the ones that have to tone down
the violent rhetoric. And I'm of the opinion of shut
the hell up. No, we're not toning anything down because
Charlie Kirk was having a modulated, calm conversation and was
killed in the middle of doing.

Speaker 42 (02:09:49):
So, exactly and well, and this is what they always do, though,
So they're the ones that ratchet up the rhetoric to
eleven and then when something finally off, It's.

Speaker 1 (02:10:00):
Like, okay, it's time to calm down. We all got
to figure out how to come together now. No, fuck you,
you did this. You've done this over and over and
over again. They tried to assassinate the current president of
the United States, not once, but twice in the last
few years. They just successfully assassinated somebody that was likely
going to be one of the best kingmakers in our lifetime.

Speaker 17 (02:10:22):
Yeah, and you know, Jonathan Shape was out there. He
wrote a piece where he's critical of Donald Trump's language
and how he's not trying to tone down the anger.
It took me all of thirty seconds to compile a
montage of his hitler Tourette's posting, The's are loving Trump.

(02:10:44):
Nazis are all over this administration. The Nazis loved There
you go, Jonathan, there's your there's your tone down rhetoric
right there.

Speaker 41 (02:10:51):
Yeah, but see, those words, in my opinion, have gotten
to the point where they are fucking meaningless. Racist, I
don't give a shit. A misogynist, I don't give a shit. Islamophobic,
I don't give a shit. It means nothing. You know,
your your words now fall off of people's backs. They
are meaningless, which is another reason that they're going two

(02:11:15):
ten over one ninety themselves. They are no longer like
the American media maggots are no longer the gatekeepers. The
rest of these fucks are no longer gatekeepers, and it's
it's grating in their little crass.

Speaker 1 (02:11:28):
Well, that's just it. The words are meaningless to us.
They're not meaningless to their side though. But as far
as the whole you know, Islamophobia thing, I only have
two things to add to that. A loha snackbar, motherfucker.

Speaker 17 (02:11:39):
Oh deaderka.

Speaker 41 (02:11:43):
I just said that. Last night, as missus Beezy and
I were going to bed, I turned to her, looked
lovingly at her and said, with every fiber of meaning
and love in my heart, derreka derkaderka, I said that,
how did you know get out of my bedroom?

Speaker 2 (02:11:58):
You know?

Speaker 1 (02:11:59):
I can they're confirmed or deny the presence of potential
cameras in your room?

Speaker 17 (02:12:05):
Wait?

Speaker 41 (02:12:06):
These yes, these words have meaning to them. But the
biggest I think, and boy, I really would love to
hear what you guys think about this in terms of
being meaning meaningless. They're they're meaning yes, I concur they're
they're meaningful to that side. But we are discovering we

(02:12:27):
no longer have to be held hostage to their bullshit.
And the people that are losing their jobs.

Speaker 1 (02:12:34):
Now not us.

Speaker 17 (02:12:38):
Yeah, just uh yeah. Last night I smoked because they
came out and said, oh, look at this, the Republicans
who hate cancel culture are getting people fired, and it's like, dipshits,
these are your rules. And it's not because they opposed
what Charlie Kirk said. It's because they were cheerleading and

(02:12:59):
yelling proud about him being murdered. That's usually cause for
people to be removed from their professional vocation. I'm sorry,
that's just basic human standards. But now they're upset that
that's taking place. And it's just, you know, you created
the environment. You can't sit there and bitch and moan
about it when it gets applied to you.

Speaker 1 (02:13:20):
You made the rules, we're just learning how to play
with them.

Speaker 41 (02:13:23):
Well, and I've said for some time, and I believe
probably in your own way, each of you here have
said essentially the same thing. You know, like quote, you
opened those doors, cocksucker, and now you're shocked when we
walk through the open door, imagine that.

Speaker 1 (02:13:44):
Well, Well, it's because and let's not forget in the
Romney and the McCain era, we didn't walk through those doors. Well,
the entire Republican Party was of the mindset, as long
as we lose with honor, at least we did at
least we still have our honor when the whole time
they've been marching us towards a cliff. Donald Trump changed
the entire paradigm of this country, not once but twice,

(02:14:07):
and changed the entire trajectory of the Republican Party. And
folks that came up in the two thousands like Charlie
Kirk have done so as well, because they finally started
to understand, whether we like it or not, we have
to start playing within the rules that they are creating,
because it doesn't matter whether we like it or not.
If they're pushing us off a cliff. It doesn't matter

(02:14:28):
whether we lose honorably or not anymore, because eventually there's
going to be nothing left to fight for, and we
may not even be here to fight for it. And
that's where we are right now. Because I said this
earlier today, this became a hot war in twenty on
September tenth. Nobody wants to admit it, yet I mean,
it's been a hot war for longer than that, but
it was officially a hot war on September the tenth,
because that's the first casualty.

Speaker 41 (02:14:50):
It's a net positive to be invertebrate. It's what they
had been saying in the past, and now there's pushback.
Oh evil, Well.

Speaker 17 (02:15:02):
I tell you what's going to really happen that's going
to piss them off is a version of Olenski inception,
because not only are we applying his rules for radicals
against them, but one of their very rules is make
them live by their standards and now being being that's
going in space. Because as they come out and say, now, oh,

(02:15:25):
we got to tone down the rhetoric, all we got
to do is throw their own rhetoric back in their face.
So when three days ago Chris Murphy was talking about
a war, well, guess what, Either he's violating your own
standards right now, or we're going to engage in the
very war that he's calling for.

Speaker 1 (02:15:41):
Pick one, first one of the show.

Speaker 41 (02:15:46):
Rick knows where I'm going right now, don't you. Okay,
A long time ago into galaxy, far far away. When
I first had my show back in twenty seventeen, in
twenty sixteen, myself and shr went to Freedom Fest, which
is a conclave of libertarians in Las Vegas in twenty sixteen,

(02:16:06):
and all the libertarians descended in a great time was
had by all. While I was there, I had opportunity
to interview this guy named Ralph Banko. Nobody knows who
Ralph Banko is, but at one time, not now, Ralph
Banko was president of the Olinsky Institute. And while there,
I thought, once he let it be known who he was,

(02:16:29):
I thought, oh fuck, I got to talk to this guy.
So Ralph and I sat down and we talked about Olinsky,
and we talked about the book. And in the process
of doing that, one of the first things I do
not remember almost anything else that he said except this,

(02:16:50):
you know, busy. I'm always I've been curious. You know,
Alinsky wrote this great book, Rules for Radicals, and I've
always been wondering, and I I I don't. I don't
have this answer. Maybe you do. Why is it that
conservatives or Republicans have never utilized Rules for Radicals for themselves.

(02:17:13):
It's all set forth there in that book, and they
have been historically accurate. They've they've been fundamentally operative since then.
And you can use it and these books, this book
never says that it must be applied as a cudgel
to you know over here, whoever the hell that is,
why don't you guys use it? It's you could. It

(02:17:34):
can be used by anybody for any reason at any time.
And I thought, that's it right there. Why why not?
Uh first answer invertebrate.

Speaker 17 (02:17:48):
And it's, uh, you know, it's the funny thing is
I mean, Reck and I talked about it at length
last night already, but we're seeing it was a Carolina panthers.
And then DC cox has suspended one of their book
lines because the writer came out with just, you know,
hyper violent language about Charlie Kirk and such. I don't

(02:18:10):
even think this is the right pushing this stuff. This
is kind of a realization that's coming over these entities
that yeah, this is not where we want to go.
And it's they make it sound like conservatives rushed to
DC Comics with pitchforks and torches and demanded this firing.
Now this the news broke after the firing took place,

(02:18:32):
so they took it upon themselves to remove this person.
That's that's a different sign. I think that's taken place,
and it's a good one.

Speaker 41 (02:18:40):
Well, it's also I believe an indicator of where we
were going. After the show last night, and Rick, after
you left, Sean and I spoke too, well, we spoke
to each other for probably another forty five minutes or
an hour, And as you recall last night, I was
absolutely unconvinced that the current generation gen Z and the

(02:19:02):
cohort of people below that, like you said about every
sixteen years now apparently, and I was unconvinced that they're
going to save the world or they're going to their
rise up or anything like that. And what he essentially
said was because we see all these articles and I'm brad,
I think perhaps you may have even written an article

(02:19:24):
about this. You know, gen Z afraid to fuel their cars,
gen Z afraid to go on an interview without their
mommies and daddies, gen Z afraid to go to the bathroom. Well,
we had the discussion where essentially Sean said, I'd spoken
to a lot of people, the person that he knew

(02:19:48):
in college and some of the others these days, and
I didn't know my alma mater was Sack State, Sacramento,
State University in California always fellow with a CA and
at Sack State apparently they had a candlelight vigil for
Charlie kirk Kirk and maybe that was necessary for me

(02:20:11):
to hear and see in terms of Okay, well, at
one point they look like they're absolute friggin morons, but
at the at the other end of that, maybe they
will do something in the saving business. It is up

(02:20:34):
to them will they be that? And I'm curious what
you guys have to say in terms of a response
to that, can they will?

Speaker 1 (02:20:43):
They go ahead, Bred.

Speaker 17 (02:20:45):
I'm gonna say they will. I'm working on a piece
right now, actually, Rick and I touch on it to
last night, where you know, the younger set, the college
and even high school right now is becoming decidedly conservative.
But it's some that the media doesn't want to touch,
and so in trying to avoid that reality, we're getting

(02:21:07):
those kind of stories. I think I've even covered the
one where it said there's members of gen Z that
are scared to go to the bathroom not at home,
so if they're at work, they have bathroom anxiety and
stuff like this, and the media thinks it's a good
thing to hype this stuff, but they do it because
they don't want to highlight that there's actual brain power

(02:21:32):
taking place on campus, and they're turning conservative in the process.
I mean, there's poll after poll showing that there's a
trend of that both men and women of college age
moved to the right in the last election, and now
we've got high schoolers that are showing tendencies as well.
The removal of Charlie Kirk is only going to prolong that.

(02:21:53):
See that, I don't want to be a part of
this wing nut faction that resorts to violence. The reason
they are is what we BZ talked about it earlier.
We're all of their fascist, nazi racist That stuff's not
having the impact any longer. It's having an effect on
them on the left. But what's happening is they throw
that accusation out and it has no effect on people

(02:22:15):
on the right. They laugh at him and walk away.
That's why they're turning to violence now, because they're not
winning in the arena of ideas using those tactics and
they have to resort to something else because they don't
have ideas.

Speaker 1 (02:22:27):
I was gonna say, that's just it. We're now finally
understanding now that we're not, you know, doing the whole
forty five one minute self reflection. Every time they call
this a bad name, we're realizing they actually don't have
any ideas. And I think I think Charlie Kirk's death
is going to be a galvanization moment in ways that
we can't even comprehend yet because and I talked about

(02:22:48):
some of this last night. Clay Travis was talking about
the fact that his son was telling him that almost
every kid in his high school that was a Charlie
Kirk fan showed up in a suit and tie. The
alien son who goes to school in Vermont. Seventy five
percent of the school was sad about the fact that

(02:23:10):
Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Seventy five percent. This man has
made ripples into places that conservatives never thought they were
going to be able to get into. And I said
this earlier. That's part of the reason why he's not
here now, because the Left thought they had the youth
on lockdown, and by all rights, they should have, because
that's the part that nobody talks about. The reason we

(02:23:30):
are talking about fundamentally transforming our education system is because
it doesn't work. It doesn't matter how much money you
throw at it. It doesn't work. At least we don't
see that it works. But to the left it works
because it's still being used for its original purpose as
to win the focus groups. And the research was done
over one hundred years ago to find out exactly how

(02:23:51):
long it takes to indoctrinate someone. Here's your answer, it's
about twelve years. The Rockefellers found this out. That's when
our entire education system started being changed and transformed through philanthropy.
So the left really thought they had a lock on
the youth vote because they had them from kindergarten until
twelfth grade. They were able to feed them whatever they

(02:24:11):
needed to be able to feed them. And the thing
about it is, if they hadn't overplayed their hand with COVID,
we probably still wouldn't have had the awakening that we've
had today. There were so many different things that all
happened around the same time these kids, and I said
this last night, this is the first generation since the
revolution that actually has it worse off than their parents,
and they know it. And the kids that are smart

(02:24:33):
enough to see it are starting to freak out because
they're like I'm about to be in my twenties and
I'm still having to live with my parents. I'm having
to do this, I'm having to do that. That's not
how any of this was supposed to be. But they're
also the generation that was told you can't go to church,
you can't have a problem, you can't do this, you
can't do that. Oh no, you don't get a graduation
ceremony because of COVID. And they they've watched the overreach

(02:24:55):
of government at a very young age when they're still
really impressional, and it's made an indelible impression on them.
And I think that's part of the reason why they
are moving more conservative about it. And I said this
last night, these kids, whether we like it or not,
are our future. And thanks to Charlie Kirk, for the
first time in a long time, I'm feeling like we
might actually have one. I wish he was still going

(02:25:17):
to be alive and here to see it. But at
the same time, I'm not sure. I'm not trying to
turn this into a silver lining moment, so please don't
misunderstand what I'm about to say. I'm not sure we
would be on the trajectory that I now see us
on at least not this quickly if he were still here,
Which is probably one of the only positives I can

(02:25:37):
take from this, is it would have taken another five, six,
seven years for his work to be completed. Every college
aged kid that I know, every high school kid that
I know, and even some of the older people that
I know that are in their early twenties are completely
radicalized for Kirk.

Speaker 17 (02:25:54):
Now, well, there's another component here, and I'll disagree with
you on a small level that I don't think the
assassination of Kirk spark this. This is something that's already
in place. I think it's revealed it because what we've
been looking at for at least a generation now is

(02:26:15):
that the indoctor nation was always taking place, but then
they started heralding it. You had all these teachers that
were hanging gay pride flags, trans pride flags, all of
this in the classroom. They were pushing the hyper feminist
agenda and denigrating males like crazy all the time. And
if you're white you're denigrated as well. So DEI and

(02:26:38):
the gay pride stuff and the anti masculine movement. Everything's toxic.
All of that was going on Charlie. Kirk has shown
these students that it's not the case, that's not reality.
You're allowed to be a man, you're allowed to be white,
you're allowed to do the things that you're naturally born into.

(02:27:00):
That out and it's a massive dawning moment. And once
that occurs, you've lost that individual. You know, you're trying
to indoctrinate them with all this garbage, and once they realize, hey,
I can actually be myself and that's realistic, you've lost them.
And that's that's what's taking place. That's what Kirk has
been doing. It's just been hidden because the media doesn't
want to cover it and the Democrats want to pretend

(02:27:22):
it doesn't exist. And look what's happening. I mean, when
you got high school kids engaged in politics to this level,
that's amazing right there.

Speaker 1 (02:27:30):
Yeah, I guess I want to make one point of
clarification because I don't want people to think that I
believe that this was spurred by Kirk's assassination. I think
it was accelerated because of Kirk's assassination, but I think I,
like you said, the foundation for all this was already there.

Speaker 41 (02:27:47):
But Brad doesn't this seem big. And the big problem
with what I turned the American media maggots in the
first place, they're never going to tell you the truth.
On the other hand, they're losing their ability to be
the gatekeeper. And then on top of it.

Speaker 1 (02:28:00):
At.

Speaker 41 (02:28:02):
The media has shielded everything to the point where good
people are still to a degree thinking that the insane
are still winning. And they're winning not just regular, they're
they're winning big. So the the emphasis is, well, we

(02:28:22):
see it on the screen like they live every day, obey.
So I don't know, I can't quantify it as a fight,
but but well, I guess Brad, in a way you
do fight it. How do you kind of live with that?
Or your feeling is, you know what, we are at

(02:28:43):
a tipping point at least in the in the written
word department, and we're starting to win. Is that kind of.

Speaker 17 (02:28:51):
What you're Yes, here's the way I usually describe it,
like I'm when I'm writing or in my podcasting, I
say that I'm not breaking news when I tell you
that the media is biased. What I'm doing is trying
to show you the playbook so that you can combat
what is a fixed game and always has been, and

(02:29:11):
this way we can combat those false narratives. And it's
been working. And I'm not taking credit by any stretch.
I mean the fact that digital publishing now is completely
I mean, you're looking at a newter press cord these
days because of it, because the actual word, they're no
longer that gatekeeper. The word is able to get out

(02:29:31):
there and able to be countered in real time. Even
I mean, just you know, today, I'm watching Brian Stelter,
the so called media maven, putting out these narratives and
he is just getting faced with reality on a regular basis.
It's like, yeah, Brian, how about this, And people just
throw it right in his lap and he scurries away
or turns off his comments. That's the positive effect that

(02:29:55):
we're having, and it's necessary because you know, the media
always has as controlled the narrative. What we're seeing today
now is their realization they're losing that grasp, and so
they're becoming more desperate, and so they are pushing every
conceivable negative because it's anti Trump, it's anti conservative, and

(02:30:17):
so look at what they've just been promoting for the
last seven or eight months. They are in favor of crime,
they're in favor of retaining illegal criminals in this country.
They're against cutting government waste and down the list. They
just have to take these positions in order to have
a level of control, or at least the semblance of it.

(02:30:39):
And the general public is looking at them now and say,
how are you supporting this? But it's really all they
have anymore.

Speaker 41 (02:30:47):
Well, if you look closely, A, I agree with that,
and B how rapidly the mighty have fallen. When you've
got Don Lemon doing Man on the Street interviews and
the man from the UK looks at Don Lemon goes.

Speaker 17 (02:31:03):
Don Lemon is just hilarious anymore. I mean he seems
oblivious how bad he looks on camera when he's like
they went and storms Marjorie Taylor Green's office and this,
and there's like eight of them in there recording, and
then they just looked at him. It's like, you can't
be here. Well, we're here to demand to speak to her,

(02:31:24):
okay an email, you know, And they just stood there
with their cameras looking like, well, well we're still here,
and they were like, fine, go away. This isn't how
it's done.

Speaker 1 (02:31:38):
You're not even you're not even one of her constituents.
What are you doing in here? Well, I'm demanding to
speak to her, dude. I just well, first of all,
point of order, anytime that name comes up on this program,
it's Don Demone, oh right, like, uh tarje.

Speaker 17 (02:31:54):
Well, he had a he had a man on the
street moment a week or two ago too, and he
was asking a question and thinks, you know, he in
New York City, don't you hate Donald Trump? Or something?
And basically they looked them in the eye and said
you're a damn idiot, and he was just perbluxed. He's like,
that happened in New York. Oh my god. And and
yet it's out there. It's like, how do you let

(02:32:16):
that go? Dude?

Speaker 1 (02:32:17):
So one of one of my favorite moments of that
whole exchange, right is when and when mister Lemone is
trying to point out you called me names, and he's
like but and the dude's like, and you want me
to bring you we've got the tape. So then just
a little bit later, when he's calling the other dude
names and he turns the tables and he's like, well,
now you're calling I never calls you that you've got

(02:32:38):
the tape.

Speaker 41 (02:32:40):
Don bring your mommy with you. Yeah.

Speaker 17 (02:32:44):
Something well, that's amazing to me is how much the
media members are oblivious to the fact that technology is
workable for the general population, and they they come out
with these outlandish positions, and you know, like this morning,
it takes all of a minute or two to find
them taking the contrary position and just throw it in
their face. It's like, remember when you said this six

(02:33:06):
months ago. They they're oblivious to this.

Speaker 1 (02:33:10):
The one for me, the one that's the most egregious
for me is and again I think it's Chris Murphy
who on the ninth was saying we're at war and
then on the tenth was calling for prayer and moment
and all this on the in then from the middle
of the Senate, and I'm like, the bitch, you know,
it wasn't even a week you were just yesterday. We're

(02:33:32):
at war for the soul of the country and we
have to be willing to do whatever is necessary. And
now you're calling for cooler heads. Yeah no, no, the boomerang.

Speaker 17 (02:33:41):
It's always the other side that has to modulate it. Oh,
you know, now's the time to lower the temperature before
it gets out of hands. Like, bitch, someone just got assassinated.
How much higher can that temperature get?

Speaker 1 (02:33:55):
That was my That was my favorite part of Trump,
you know, coming out and talking about you know, how
well you know, we need they need to stop calling
us Nazis and this, that and the other. Donald Trump,
Trump needs to tone down his rhetoric. Why for pointing
out that you're nothing but rhetoric.

Speaker 17 (02:34:10):
Yeah, that was Jen Zaki and she said that Donald
Trump was elevating the antagonism by pointing out that you're
use antagonistic words. I mean, it's your network that says
this on a daily basis. That's what had her upset.

Speaker 41 (02:34:25):
So she mean.

Speaker 17 (02:34:27):
That she got called out.

Speaker 41 (02:34:29):
Well, ideally leftists would love to have had laid two
bodies killed live on television at this point.

Speaker 1 (02:34:38):
Well yeah, I mean, well you've already got them. I
mean I talked about it in hour one. There's an
entire list of people that were on social media, on
Facebook and everywhere else going Trump next, Trump next, Come on,
Trump next? And I'm like, do you dude, I don't
care who it is. When When when it was announced
that Joe Biden, you know, had cancer again, which I
think was going on a lot longer. They wanted to admit, Yeah,

(02:35:01):
I didn't. I didn't tab dance. I was sad about it.
I don't even like the guy I think he I
think he's an asshole, but I don't want anything bad
to happen to him. I mean, he's a jerk. He's
a jerk who sniffs the hair of kids and apparently
showered with his child went well past the age of
where anybody should be anywhere near bathing their child. So yes,
I have huge issues with him as a person, but

(02:35:23):
I still want him to be okay. I don't want
him to die.

Speaker 41 (02:35:27):
In a way, I kind of see Joe Vegetable as
a victim. He should have been enjoying his dotage, except
his powermonger wife decided that she was going to push
him onto Front Street, perhaps willingly with him at first,
but having worked in child abuse and elder abuse, you

(02:35:49):
know I could make a good generalized, localized case for
her as being an elder abuser. But I want to
ask you guys this question. Because I don't have my
finger on the on the pulse of media or politics.
I dip my toe into it occasionally to the point
where I get, oh, my feathers are ruffled. Umbridge. But

(02:36:12):
what percentile do you guys think that a bulk of
what we're seeing today is just anything like Andrew put
up in chat. You know, it's like, what percentile of
this is nothing more complicated than if Trump wants it,
or likes it, or advocates for it.

Speaker 7 (02:36:33):
Whatever it is.

Speaker 41 (02:36:34):
You know, Groucho Marx, I'm against it, Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:36:39):
Trust it all the time for the left of say
ninety percent at this point. That's why, and this is
why for the last few days I've been calling out
folks that I watch on News Nation and Fox News
and everywhere else that are all like, this is the
time that we bring everybody back to the table. We
can't because Donald Trump could propose the best things ever
to fix all things all that wants everywhere, and they

(02:37:01):
would still oppose it because it was coming from Donald Trump.

Speaker 17 (02:37:05):
Oh yeah, I just mentioned that a little while ago.
But it's been the case since he took office. Every
single thing that he proposes, policy, anything he mentions is
default opposition, regardless of how much common sense it makes.
I mean, just look at the sheer fighting they've done
over him going into Washington, d C. And addressing the

(02:37:26):
crime problem. And it was wildly successful. They had twelve
days in the summer without a murder taking place, and
it was like people that lived there said, we don't
ever remember that happening. And across every single category of crime,
they saw double digit drops, like you know, car theft

(02:37:47):
fell like eighty five percent after they got in there,
and things of this nature. And the press complains about this,
and look at the way that they fight tooth and
nail to retain violent illegal immigrants in this country. Look
at the way that there was a murder on a
train in Carolina and they're defending the murderer. This is

(02:38:10):
where they're at anymore, because they're just losing their nut
on Donald Trump without even looking at common sense or
what's the benefit for the country now Trump does it.
It's just wrong regardless if it's right.

Speaker 1 (02:38:24):
Everything is evil all the time, especially if it comes
from Donald Trump. And that's been their stance now for
a while. And it is why I've been asking the
question all day today, where do we go from here?
Because I don't have all the answers and I'm not
ready for Civil War two. I'm afraid we're headed there.
I'm hoping it takes us a while to get there,

(02:38:45):
but I'm not ready for that yet, and there are
still things that I feel like we can do to
try to stave that off. But the one thing that
I will say, because I read an article today pinned
by somebody who isn't that much older than or older
than Charlie Kirk, who said, you know, on this day,
September twelfth, which was a rallying point for us twenty

(02:39:05):
four years ago, I don't really feel any hope. I'm
not there. I'm angry, I'm pissed off, I'm frustrated, but
I am starting to have hope because we are seeing
high school kids, in college age kids that they are like,
I can't do this with you people anymore. And I
think that's where I am. Up until January, starting January,

(02:39:26):
up until September tenth, I was even though I could,
I could, You'll be busy. He's been saying it for
a while. Other folks have been saying it for a while,
and even though I felt it, I was kind of
It's not that I was afraid to say it. I
just felt like it wasn't going to be anything that
would have been productive or added anything to the conversation.
But that's not the case anymore. We have to stop

(02:39:47):
calling the left the left, because the left isn't the left,
isn't the left anymore. The left what little bit remains
because most of it's the overton windows shifted so far
that most of them are on our side, whether they
want to admit it or not. It was kind of
like the conversation that you had the last night when
you were talking about after you read one of Russia's books,
You're like, holy crap, I already believed most of this

(02:40:07):
stuff and I didn't even realize it. And that's where
that's where a lot of folks are finding themselves today.
But we have to stop calling the left the left
because what remains of them is pure evil. Just look
at everything that Mandami's doing in New York City. That
that isn't somebody who's looking for solutions. That's somebody who's
looking for a way to garner a favor. And basically
it's the evils of communism and wrapped in a pretty rapper,

(02:40:30):
that's all it is. That's all the left has anymore.
That's what they want. They want communism, and what has
been propping them up is the kind of the sweet
spot between some of the older gen zsiest folks for
the most part, and the older millennials because a lot
of them have bought into the maybe communism is the answer.
You see it all the time on Facebook and everywhere

(02:40:52):
else where. You've got thirty somethings saying, well, we've tried
this capitalist shit and it don't work. Maybe we should
try communism. No, we should.

Speaker 17 (02:41:02):
Well, I gotta tell you I'm not as worried about
a civil war right now, because that's something that's being
kicked around a lot in the media right now. They're
fearful of that, Oh we're gonna lead to a country
divided in attacking each other. But this is a media
that does not understand conservatism. They operate purely on assumptions

(02:41:23):
about us. I mean, look at when MSNBC was reporting
on the gunshot before we knew Charlie kirk condition. He said, well,
you know, conservatives might be firing guns and celebration at
the event and hit him by accident, you know, because
that's what we always do, I guess at events. And

(02:41:43):
I'm glad that you said something about Biden beasy about
his condition and his wife doing that was how much
you saw from the right regarding Joe Biden's condition, it
was sympathy. It was why is she doing this to him?
She's abusing this elderly guy. We didn't cheer for this
guy to die. We were saying, stop what you're doing.

(02:42:05):
This isn't right. And that's what that's the mindset on
the conservative.

Speaker 33 (02:42:08):
Side of things.

Speaker 17 (02:42:09):
But because the left cheers for violence, they root for
Donald Trump to be assassinated in others, they just assume
that people on the right think the same way and
then accuse them of what they're guilty of. It's this
is what they're doing right now. As far as that
civil war talk to they're so convinced we're going to
take to the streets with guns and hit people. No,

(02:42:30):
But at the same time, if you start barging into
our door, you're going to get ventilated. We're not going
to sit there and hold back and oh, I'm sorry,
you're in the wrong home. Now, No, you know it's
going to be you know, stop empty the clip or
I'll shoot, and that kind of thing.

Speaker 41 (02:42:49):
Well, I never wished and I do not today for
the death of Joe Biden. Historically, he's been very entertaining
until he became dangerous, but to a degree that wasn't
of his own making, so to speak. But I, being
in law enforcement, I have a question in observation, and

(02:43:13):
then I'd like to throw it over to you guys.
The suspect's father, Matt, works for the Washington County Sheriff's
Department in the southern portion of Utah south of Aorum,
And the information at this point, Brad correct me if

(02:43:35):
I'm wrong, is that he turned in his son and
that's how the case was broken. And probably eventually in
hours or a few more days, it would have it
would have broken in some fashion. But I see this
as a big positive win for law enforcement and for

(02:43:57):
parents and for a father in law enforcement who did
the right damn thing.

Speaker 17 (02:44:04):
You know, my.

Speaker 41 (02:44:06):
A friend of mine said some time ago, you know,
sometimes people are put on this earth for no other
purpose than to just kill them outright and let their
bodies be an example of what not to do in life.
And then I, after putting that on my one portion
of social media, another person who was a parent said

(02:44:28):
that person did they betrayed their family? Well, I must
admit I don't have kids, I'm not a father, but
I think that father did the right thing your parents.
What are your thoughts on the father turning in his kid,
you know, like the brother turned in Ted. You know

(02:44:48):
this father did the right damn thing.

Speaker 17 (02:44:53):
Well, I don't know that there's anything wrong. I mean,
I'm just trying to imagine if my own child had
come an assassination. I can't around that. But I don't
know that I would be able to sit down with
them and shield them, you know, and say, Okay, you've
did something wrong. Now let's see what we can do
to hide this. I don't see me going there because

(02:45:16):
this is such a level of breach of decency and humanity.
I mean, sometimes that has the Trump family connections. I mean,
it's easy for me to say now because I'm not
going through it, but it's I have a hard time
thinking i'd be supportive of them after that kind of act.

Speaker 1 (02:45:40):
I mean, I have gotten not anywhere near to the
same level, but I do have a bit of a parallel.
My oldest son I eventually had to use tough love
on because I realized that with his addictive personalities and
other things that he had going on, that we were
actually enabling him even though we were trying to help him.
So eventually I just had to tell him, hey, look,
you're an adult. Now you got to figure it out.

(02:46:01):
I'll help beginning to rehab whatever else you want to do,
and then after that you've got to be the one
to figure it out. Because I had been trying to
help him even after we found out everything that was
going on, and every time I did, it wound up
being a point where he would get cleaned for a
couple of weeks, and then he would go off and
do something stupid again. The only reason I'm talking about
this now is because he tells this story all the
time and it is okay. But now he's I mean

(02:46:25):
he's And that's what hit me the other day. I
guess I couldn't even fathom the idea when when I
was doing like the almost seven hours of marathon broadcasting
on Wednesday night. But my son and Charlie Kirk were
nearly my oldest son and Charlie Kirk were nearly the
same age. I don't know Charlie Kirk's exact birthday, but
my son and he were both born in nineteen ninety three,

(02:46:45):
And it didn't hit me until after all I was
off the air and I'm like This is probably one
of the reasons why, because even though I hadn't consciously
made the connection yet, I was like, this is probably
one of the reasons why I'm freaking out so much
about this, because I have a son that's at at
that exact same age who so if not for me
at some point basically putting my foot down and saying
you're going to have to figure this out, might not

(02:47:06):
have even been here anymore and instead is now a
productive member of a society, has a great job, great
house wife, kids, the whole nine. So I get it.
I again, I can't really say that I understand what
it would feel like to realize that your son was
an assassin. I hope I never have to feel that
feeling with any of my children their grandchildren. But I

(02:47:29):
do comend the father for doing the right thing, because
that that would be, that would be difficult, that would
be that would be hard as hell.

Speaker 17 (02:47:37):
Well, I think the contributing factor to it is it's
something I picked up on during the press conference this morning,
and it's a couple seemingly unrelated threads, but one is
this guy lived like three and a half hours from
the campus. He was not a student, and then they

(02:47:59):
said later that they tied him together with this event
because of some messaging that he had done on Discord
and he was actually sharing his plans with others, And
it sounds like to me unconfirmed at this point, but
he might have had some acolytes on campus that helped him.

(02:48:20):
And if that's the case, you're talking about a little
bit of a network taking place here. That these were
actual hardcore left like they were sharing. Somebody said even
I think a family member that Charlie Kirk is just
this awful individual who's racist and sexist. And then if
he was sharing these views with others on Discord and
plotting this assassination with others, sounds like to me, there's

(02:48:43):
going to be more implicated and this is a little
bit of a wider net that's needed. And if his
father came upon this, this isn't a case of a
whack job lone wolf, but made a discovery that his
kid was involved in something of far more complex.

Speaker 41 (02:49:01):
And you guys can answer this much better than I.
I had heard a rumor to the effect within I
don't know, I got up super early this morning, like
two am or something like that, because you know, hashtag,
because and in going through social media, I remember seeing
but I should have saved it, but I didn't. Someone saying, oh,

(02:49:22):
that guy that you know who shall remain nameless. There's
a video somewhere of him talking to Charlie Kirk and
Charlie Kirk saying blah blah, and someone said, oh, but
that's the guy that's the assassin bracing Charlie Kirk right there.

(02:49:48):
Guys heard anything like that?

Speaker 1 (02:49:49):
Yeah, well, just so you know that there's a new
leftist memo about to go out. So I've been kind
of perusing some threads while we've been talking. So, now
that the identity of the shooter has been made known,
they've researched his background. Apparently they're finding riskiats where he
donated a Trump's campaign at one point, oh god, Donald
Trump costume for Halloween. And so now the narrative is, well,

(02:50:11):
he was a Trump supporter who was pissed off that
Charlie Kirk wanted the epstein I was released.

Speaker 17 (02:50:16):
I heard that tinhat come out last night, and please,
that's uh, that's sheer desperation right there. I mean, this
is the FBI saying that they actually have discord communications
taking place of this nature. So I think we can
kind of wash that hysterea aside right now.

Speaker 1 (02:50:36):
But yeah, that's what's running around in leftist circles right now.

Speaker 17 (02:50:38):
See, it wasn't even us.

Speaker 1 (02:50:39):
It was a MAGA supporter who didn't like Charlie Kirk.

Speaker 17 (02:50:43):
But it heard that was the same with the Minnesota
shootings of the legislators there. Oh so he was a
Trump supporter who was appointed by Walls and actually told
authorities that he was killing people to help Walls's career.
This guy was a complete wing.

Speaker 1 (02:51:00):
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you find one.

Speaker 41 (02:51:03):
Oh wait, my man, Brad, I got a final question
to you, because I know you got to wrap this
up in about ten minutes or so. But I'm looking
at your article on town Hall, which says no surprise
at all, the Charlie Kirk assassination has brought out the
worst in the media. And once I brought that up,
the first thing I thought after looking at that headline was, Okay,
ask Brad how much crap he receives all through I

(02:51:27):
don't know, emails, social media, whatever, in terms of pushback
for writing that stuff. You know, I'm not a celebrity.
I'm just a fat, ancient, bulbous piece of crap. I
don't really have a name. You have a name, you
have a byeline, you have a place with which you
place your articles. You're the professional, not me. How much

(02:51:49):
crap do you take?

Speaker 17 (02:51:52):
Not? Not as much as you might think. Now I
understand too, what you were looking at was my column
at town Hall that's in the VIP section. So those
are kind of our dedicated conservatives. So I'm not going
to get a ton of pushback for that. I mean
I on occasion, i'll get a you know, journalist will
come out and try to challenge me on something I've done,
or I'll have readers, like yesterday, some guy jumped on

(02:52:15):
my article at red State where talked about how the
left wants to silence us. You said, oh please, you
guys got half a dozen or more articles up. Nobody's
silencing you. I said, no, they want to silence us,
and we're telling them screw off. We're not shutting up.
There's a difference. I'll get that on occasion, but I
surprisingly I don't get a lot of pushback. But I

(02:52:38):
think it's because I'm kind of operating in conservative circles
for the most.

Speaker 41 (02:52:42):
Part, and Rick. You know, you're much more of a name,
you have your own network. What kind of pushback and
crap do you get?

Speaker 1 (02:52:51):
Not as much as you might think. Honestly, I did
a lot and we do still have occasionally, especially on YouTube,
the occasional troll that pops in as I'm trying to
talk about. They don't do that as much anymore because
I'll actually stop the show show and drag them, unlike
most folks.

Speaker 17 (02:53:05):
So get I.

Speaker 1 (02:53:08):
Get told all the time by my regular why do
you do that, you're giving them oxygen? Because I have
a neutuatoy back off.

Speaker 17 (02:53:14):
Yeah. If I get jumped on on social media too,
I'll engage people and that usually angers them. I think
what angers them the most is that I don't block them,
and I just I'll sit there and just keep engaging.
It's like, look, you keep commenting, and it's like I'm
commenting to your comments, so you're doing the same thing,
So go punch a mirror. And then you know, they

(02:53:35):
keep prodding me and waiting for that block to come,
and I just get to a point where I lay
them out and just say, well, you've just proven yourself
to be invalid on any discussion.

Speaker 1 (02:53:47):
Yeah, that's my favorite thing. Why are you still talking
to me? Because you keep replying? What am I supposed
to do? It's polite, count, it's polite in sonciety. When
someone is conversing with you, you reply.

Speaker 17 (02:53:57):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:53:58):
I don't tell them. I do this quite often. But
what I'll do is, for for a lot is I
will like, you know, drag them for a little bit,
and then I will mute them and watch them just
scream when I come back and look later, and then
I'll start re engaging again.

Speaker 17 (02:54:12):
Yeah. My favorite too is I'll sit there and I'll
I'll combat them on their tactic of argument, but not
their actual argument, because they'll say, oh, man, you're a
fucking idiot. It's like, okay, you're a brilliant political mind.
And I just go down that avenue and then they say,
you still haven't answered my question. I say, why do
you care? You called me an idiot? My opinion should

(02:54:33):
be completely the last thing you need or want.

Speaker 1 (02:54:36):
Why do you want my opinion if I'm an idiot?

Speaker 17 (02:54:40):
And then pretty much you know, grinds it to a
culder sack of the discussion right there, and then I
move on. It's just have my fun with them and
go on my business.

Speaker 41 (02:54:49):
Well, I vacillate and I told Rick, hey put me
in coach. I'm feeling froggy. So coach did, thank you.
But you know, I vacillate between war peace, let's have
more words war piece. But I just looked at Red
State and the headline up there right now that I

(02:55:12):
saw as British students saddened and disgusted by Charlie Kirk's murder,
something that I certainly hadn't anticipated from the UK. And
then I whipped over to town Hall and at the
top of that is and never but you know, defeat
does this. Stephen King apologizes deletes his despicable post about

(02:55:36):
Charlie kirkstoning Gaze Hope.

Speaker 17 (02:55:41):
Well, there's a lot of that going on. We're you know,
they're they're picking and choosing these moments from Charlie Kirk's past,
and they were always fifteen or twenty minute, twenty second
segments and completely out of context. So when he was
stoning Gaze making that comment, it was somebody that threw
a Bible verse at him from the Old Testament, and

(02:56:01):
he brought up stoning Gaze and said, this is what
God was proclaiming in the Old Testament, So are we
still following that?

Speaker 27 (02:56:08):
No?

Speaker 17 (02:56:08):
And then he moved on with you know, proper conversation.
He wasn't saying to take him out in the street
and throw cinder blocks at him.

Speaker 1 (02:56:15):
Yeah, they love to leave that is this something else
that we should still be following too? Part of that
conversation out And that's just it. Most of the raging,
rabid leftists who hated Charlie Kirk hated him because his
own their own side was selectively editing and framing things
in a way that supported their arguments instead of letting
the entire argument stand on its own. Just like he's

(02:56:38):
one of the people that has during a discussion, asked
the question should women have the right to vote? You
know what, I know women who think women shouldn't have
the right to vote. I think that's a valid discussion
point at this point.

Speaker 17 (02:56:51):
You know, there was one about him. They were calling
him a racist, and they showed a video where he
was saying, these women got their job in governm, min
or elsewhere because of DEI or affirmative action, and that's racist.
And then you look at the video and he played
clips of them admitting they got their job in position
because of affirmative action?

Speaker 2 (02:57:11):
Is it?

Speaker 17 (02:57:12):
How is it racist by saying.

Speaker 1 (02:57:14):
He's got what they got receipts that it actually is
what they said, But somehow that makes him a racist.
But that's just it, you know, And this is why
I am, you know, starting to come to terms with
the idea that I'm not sure we can coexist with
these people anymore, because we can now look at the
same pieces of information and have two and sometimes three,

(02:57:36):
four and five completely disparate in different perspectives from looking
at the same information, because we don't have an actual
basis in reality anymore. For a lot of people, everything
is colored through their lens of perspective, and once that
lens becomes warped enough, you will believe anything, Like I
firmly believe the dude that shot the Minnesota senators was

(02:57:59):
a nutbar But I also firmly believe he believed that
Tim Walls wanted him to kill these people.

Speaker 17 (02:58:05):
Yeah, and I have no problem condemning that killing. And
I also have no problem pointing out to the media
that brings this up that nobody on the right said
these politicians had it coming because of what they said,
which is a far cry from what we're hearing today.

Speaker 1 (02:58:22):
Well. And one of the other things that drove me
absolutely insane, and this was in the evening of the
tenth leading into the morning of the eleventh, is people
that again I know that I've worked with or extended
friends of people that I've worked with, talking about how
everybody's so outraged about Charlie Kirk being shot. Where was
all the outraged over the school shootings. I'm like, you
don't pay any attention because we are outraised over the

(02:58:42):
school shootings. We're the first people that come in and say,
maybe we should start looking at actual, actual things that
will work. Because you can't make guns illegal because that
doesn't make them go away, But you can do things
like maybe stop posting that we have our kids in
fishing a barrel zones, because that's what it free zone is.
It's efficient a barrel zone. You can't have teachers one

(02:59:04):
or two. Don't even tell anybody who it is that
are comfortable, that are willing to do it that I have
had the training to be able to do it, can
still carry within a school. Nobody even has to know
that they have them until the situation arises on front
porch forensics. We had a group, a guy on this
part of a group that has designed an entire system
that basically doesn't make a school look like a prison.

(02:59:26):
But if you need it, there's buttons that you can
press in every classroom that automatically says where you are
at contacts nine to one one starts the process to
lock down and put barricades in place. And that's an
amazing system. And I keep meaning to write an article
about it in one of the other publications that are
write for, And at some point I'm going to find
a way to be able to do that, because as
far as I can tell, it's only in like two

(02:59:48):
school districts in the entire country. Stuff like that should
be everywhere. There are solutions, but we don't talk about
the solutions because everybody gets hung up in the gun argument.
But I say this again, you can take away all
the guns. It won't change anything. Cain killed Abe with
a rock or what I suspect was the world's first
ever fruitcake that has been regifted throughout eternity.

Speaker 17 (03:00:10):
It didn't.

Speaker 1 (03:00:10):
It doesn't take a gun to kill people. It takes
it takes a it takes an evil heart to kill
people combat.

Speaker 41 (03:00:16):
Fruitcakes have been adjudged to be killing objects. You know,
It's like, I use the standard argument with leftists with
regard to the Second Amendment. The gun is a tool,
the car is a tool. The gun is nothing more
than a tool. There was a time when guns were
endemic all through society as I was growing up in
the fifties and sixties. The tool has not changed. Society

(03:00:41):
has changed. So what frightens you about that society is
what should frighten you? Because you know hashtag, as far
as leftists are are concerned, you know, context is meaningless.

Speaker 1 (03:00:56):
Exactly all right, Well, believe it or not, we are
coming up to the end, and so BZ, since you
were last in, we'll have you first out. Where can
folks find you?

Speaker 41 (03:01:04):
Well? First number one, Brad, thank you for being a
scholar and a gentleman and allowing me to speak here. Rick,
thank you for allowing me to speak here. I am.
I host Bz's Perserk Bobcat Saloon every Tuesday and Thursday night,
eight pm Pacific eleven pm Eastern right here on k
l R and also the SHR Media Network, where you

(03:01:26):
may subscribe if you wish, on the SHR Media YouTube channel.

Speaker 1 (03:01:30):
Thank you gentlemen, all right, and Brad, where can folks
find you? Sir?

Speaker 17 (03:01:36):
Well, I'm a little resentful for being called a gentleman
and a scholar.

Speaker 1 (03:01:39):
But I'll get over it. I usually overlook those things.

Speaker 17 (03:01:44):
Now. I'm available over at townhall dot com. Is BZ
mentioned It's my media column over there, and I'm also
on the front page of Red State. I've got a
piece going up as well as another podcast called Liable
Sources that I do over there. Those will be on
should be online at some point today and right here
at Kaylaurn as well. Thursday nights, I got a couple
entertainment shows I do with either Orty Packard or Paul

(03:02:07):
Young at eight thirty and also at Tuesday evenings with
Aggie Reekin on the Cocktail Lounge. Are kind of a
lighthearted look at the news and leisure. And then if
you need more of me, head over to Jit or
I'm Matt Martini Shark.

Speaker 1 (03:02:23):
All right, folks, that's going to do it for this
particular episode. Want to thank my guest contributors for joining
me today for the third hour on the Rick Robins Show,
soon to become the Weekend News Roundup. Want to thank
everybody for taking the time to hang out with us
this week. I know it has been a long week
and exhausting week, a week where a lot of us
have been sad, confused, angry, not sure what comes next.

(03:02:45):
But I will say this, don't just find even if
it's a kernel of hope, and don't let it go.
And again, we're all Charlie now because we have to be.
We didn't want want to be. We had a Charlie,
but he's gone now. They took him from us. So

(03:03:06):
I don't think there will ever be anyone exactly like
Charlie Kirk, just like there will never be another Rush Limbaugh.
But Charlie Kirk was the Rush Limbaugh for this younger generation.
And that's why you're seeing this outpouring that is starting
to come in from all over the all over the
country and all or else, pardon me, and all around
the world. Because he did impact people in a way

(03:03:29):
that even I didn't really understand until his passing, and
that that is something that we need to hang on
to because he changed lives. He touched people in ways
that we're just now starting to understand. So don't let
them take that from us. But at the same time,
we all have a spark of what led Charlie to

(03:03:49):
do what Charlie did with his life in us as well.
It's time to start using it. I said this yesterday,
even if it's just in your little corner of the world,
do what you can make sure your corner of the
world is the best that you can make.

Speaker 11 (03:04:03):
It.

Speaker 1 (03:04:03):
Be a voice of reason for people that may not
even be willing to listen to it. Yet I understand
what I'm asking you to do. We have the proof
in front of us. If you are willing to say
that you want to live for freedom, but you're not
willing to die for it, do you really have freedom?

(03:04:24):
And I don't say that lightly. I said this earlier
today as well, as we close things out, we are
looking at the first generation since the Revolutionary War that
have it worse than their parents, and that is part
