Oh my gosh, ah so bad, y'all 11 00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:46,240 so bad? All right, so I believe it was yesterday. 12 00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:48,719 What's today today? Friday? 13 00:00:49,119 --> 00:00:49,679 Speaker 2: Yet? No? 14 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Okay, I think it was yesterday that we mentioned Melissa Easley. 15 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:56,799 Speaker 3: She is a. 16 00:00:56,799 --> 00:01:01,359 Speaker 1: Charlotte Mecklenburg School board member. She is also a teacher, 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,000 a teacher who does not know how to spell the 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:12,040 word pity, nor does she know proper punctuation. And this 19 00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:16,840 is a teacher and a school board member. So she 20 00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:21,799 had gone on to either the Facebook or the Instagram. 21 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,359 I'm not sure which platform, although they're both owned by 22 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,959 Meta at this point, so it doesn't really matter. And 23 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,439 in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, she posted 24 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,799 a message that said the following Here is what I'm 25 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,200 going to say about today. Political violence is not okay, 26 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,719 no matter what side you are on. That is the 27 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,840 disappointing part. And I am saddened that this was yet 28 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,840 another political issue that caused a death. See, I feel 29 00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:59,079 like the most disappointing part was was the murder? Was 30 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:05,560 the murdering? To paraphrase the late great philosopher Norm MacDonald. 31 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,960 I think it was the murdering that's the worst part. 32 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,240 And then the second part of her sentence here, I'm 33 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,479 not even sure what she's trying to communicate, but she's 34 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,240 a teacher, so maybe it's just going over my head 35 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,719 because I'm not a fourth grader or something. I don't know. 36 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:25,759 I'm sad in that this was yet another political issue 37 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,479 that caused a death. What was the political issue that 38 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,240 caused the death? The political issue caused the death, That's 39 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,159 what happened. Like this offloading of responsibility or ascribing to 40 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,400 a political issue that caused a death. No, it was 41 00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:48,360 a leftist. It was a pro trans leftist. That's all 42 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,080 become very clear now. And he admitted it apparently in 43 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:58,199 the discord server. She then goes on to say, but 44 00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:00,680 do not expect me to feel See if she had 45 00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:03,639 just left it at the first sentence or the second 46 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,560 sentence there, if she had just said that first part 47 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,439 and nothing else, fine, no problem. But they can't help themselves. 48 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,360 She just can't help herself. She has to come along 49 00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:20,960 and take a crap on Charlie Kirk and everybody that 50 00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:24,840 follows him, because that's what she's doing here, Because she says, 51 00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:29,439 do not expect me to feel sorry, pity, misspelled, or 52 00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:33,199 mournful for the man that has gone around saying I 53 00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:37,800 or my spouse are abominations, that we are mentally ill, 54 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,120 that we don't deserve the same rights as everyone else. Okay, 55 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,120 I did a search. Admittedly it was through the various 56 00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:51,919 search engines, so it's only going to be as accurate 57 00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:57,000 as those engines are. But I found I did a 58 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:05,520 search for Charlie Kirk abomination, and never I found zero 59 00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:11,680 results of him ever saying that they're an abomination. They 60 00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:16,920 being Melissa Easley and her trans husband, and she I 61 00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:21,839 think identifies as quote non binary, and her Facebook is 62 00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:24,680 littered with gay pride posts all over the place, it's 63 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,319 like her, it's like the most it's like she thinks 64 00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:30,560 the most interesting thing about her is like how she 65 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:36,439 has sex, which you no, it's not this idea though, 66 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,319 that it's about her. This is the narcissism of the left, 67 00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:45,439 that you know. Charlie Kirk making comments and expressing opinions 68 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,759 based on his Christian faith that he believes homosexuality is 69 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,120 a sin. That's what he believes as a Christian. You 70 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,720 don't have to agree with him. That is not hate, 71 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,519 just like it's not hatred to say, oh, this person 72 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,600 is gambling too much, is an alcoholic. This is what 73 00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:16,959 Charlie Kirk argued. He views these things as sins, but 74 00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:19,879 for us to love the sinner and to try to 75 00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:24,560 help them see the error of their ways. Again, you 76 00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:29,879 don't have to agree with that, but that is not hate. 77 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,000 He expresses no hate for those people. He says he 78 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,480 wants to help those people because he doesn't believe what 79 00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:39,839 they're doing is good for them. That the sin destroys 80 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,519 the person who is committing the sin. So I could 81 00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:48,199 not find any mention of Melissa easily or her family. 82 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,839 And when it comes to the idea that they are 83 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,600 mentally ill. Yes, he does believe, or he did believe, 84 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,800 as do a lot of people all over the planet 85 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,959 believe that if you say you are the opposite sex, 86 00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:07,480 that that is an indication that you are mentally unwell, 87 00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:11,759 That that is a delusion, because there are universal truths 88 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,720 you are a man or a woman, and you cannot 89 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,800 change them just because you go under the knife, you 90 00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:24,199 take some hormones, whatever the whatever you know, therapies you do, 91 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:31,839 will never change your genetics, your DNA. And we are done. 92 00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:35,279 We are done bending the knee to this lie. You 93 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,959 guys had the rule of the roost. About ten fifteen 94 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,720 years ago, HB two here in North Carolina propelled this 95 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,279 issue sort of into the national arena. I was there 96 00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:51,040 fighting it from the very beginning. I know all of 97 00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:55,240 these arguments. I've been studying this topic for over a decade, 98 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,199 and you are promoting a lie, okay. And that's why 99 00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:03,920 it is very easy for people like me to stand 100 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,000 up and give the truth to your lie. And it's 101 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,240 why Charlie Kirk was assassinated. It's because you cannot debate 102 00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:14,160 the truth, you cannot argue against the truth, and so 103 00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:18,160 you have to silence that truth. That's what's become very 104 00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:22,199 clear now it's the same thing happening with Luigi Mangione, 105 00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:29,680 this defense of evil acts. That's what we are seeing 106 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,800 because the truth does not need anything other than itself 107 00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:39,240 upon which to stand right. Lies do lies require? What 108 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,319 about ism? Lies require? 109 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: Oh? 110 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: How come your people you need to do this? Or 111 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,680 what about this other person over there? 112 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: Like you? 113 00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:50,319 Speaker 1: All of this distraction when this story is Charlie Kirk 114 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,800 his assassination because he wanted to engage people in debate, 115 00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:59,680 because he had a view of what is true that 116 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,639 different from yours, and you could not defend your truth. 117 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,120 He was defending the truth. And the truth is there 118 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,639 are only two sexes, and that is a triggering thing, 119 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,480 which in and of itself is another one of these lies. 120 00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:20,759 That words are violence when they're not. Violence is violence. 121 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,480 So fine, you don't feel pity, you don't feel sorry, 122 00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:28,920 you're not feeling mournful. Fine, you didn't have to tell 123 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:30,920 everybody that. I don't know why you felt the need 124 00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:32,639 to tell. But then again, I don't know why you 125 00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:34,600 need to tell everybody how you enjoy to have sex. 126 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,799 I don't get that either, But you know this is 127 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,759 what you do. You just just vomit everything out there 128 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,919 for everybody to know everything about you and all your feels. 129 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,279 And I'm sure that you will frame this through empathy 130 00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:50,960 and inclusion. Talk right, you will try to use people's 131 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,559 empathy against them. You weaponize their empathy because people don't 132 00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:57,080 they don't want to be mean. 133 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,759 Speaker 4: So you're like, I'm just you know, being empathetic to 134 00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:02,120 all the people who are feeling like me right now. 135 00:09:02,159 --> 00:09:04,360 I'm not doing it for myself. I'm doing it for 136 00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:07,159 them so they know they're not alone. If you are 137 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,440 rejoicing in the murder of a person that you disagreed with, 138 00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:14,519 you're not alone. And then she says, oh, wait, hang 139 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,080 on a second, before I do that, she has because 140 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,240 she has another comment here about the Second Amendment thing. 141 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,840 So I've got two clips that address what she is alleging. 142 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,600 And when I play these clips, you will see she 143 00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:31,720 is a liar at worst. At best, she is ignorant, 144 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,000 and she is just regurgitating the lies that the Left 145 00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:39,279 are saying about Charlie Kirk's positions because they cannot argue 146 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,840 against the truth, so they construct lies to defend their 147 00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:47,080 own lies. So when I was a kid, my grandpa 148 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:49,759 died with Alzheimer's and before he died, my mom and 149 00:09:49,799 --> 00:09:51,799 my dad took care of him as he got worse. 150 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,720 Forty years ago, there were no treatments and not much 151 00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:58,000 support for caregivers and family. But things are different today 152 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,639 because of the work of so many people, including the 153 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,360 Alzheimer's Association of Western Carolina. It's a great organization with 154 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,480 awesome people with huge hearts. I've been a supporter for 155 00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:10,120 twenty five years. This cause means a lot to me. 156 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,000 I participate in the annual Walk to End Alzheimer's and 157 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,000 I'm leading a Charlotte team again this year, and it's 158 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,799 called once again Pete's Pack.

For a different future, families, for more 174 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,919 time for treatments. This is why we walk. Charlotte Mecklenberg 175 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:12,000 school board member Melissa Easley posted poorly and grammatically incorrect, 176 00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:17,320 poorly written post about how she doesn't feel sorry that 177 00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:20,480 Charlie Kirk was murdered. No pity, p I T T 178 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:26,279 y or mournful. One of the things that you hear 179 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,440 leftists saying. A lot of people who share this view 180 00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:36,559 never have heard Charlie Kirk say anything. Probably or they 181 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,559 maybe within the last week saw a compilation of some 182 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,519 clips or something, and one of them that you hear 183 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,200 is that he advocated the stoning of gaze. You've heard 184 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,840 this right. This is one of the one of the 185 00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:52,840 things that the media and leftist but I repeat myself, 186 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,840 have been spreading. Here is what Charlie Kirk actually said, 187 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:02,759 in the full context. He's responded too. There's some YouTuber 188 00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:07,080 who targets children named Miss Rachel and she gets political 189 00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:09,919 and she's all, you know, pro pride stuff and all 190 00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:18,840 of this, and she uses the Bible to defend her 191 00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:26,480 commentary on h on LGBTQ plus two IA issues. Okay, 192 00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:29,080 so that was the context of this discussion. 193 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 5: Well, I want to respond to what Miss Rachel did next. 194 00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:35,399 This is what and what Miss Rachel did next. And 195 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,279 this is what I was like in the minute I 196 00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:39,000 saw this, it was like, I need Charlie's take on this. 197 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,039 She comes in and says, you know, folks, and so 198 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,759 she takes off the mits Rachel costume and the uniform, 199 00:12:44,799 --> 00:12:47,440 et cetera. And she comes back and says and she's like, 200 00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:49,919 now I'm just talking as Rachel, and she goes, the 201 00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:53,200 reason I'm in this way is because I'm Christian, and 202 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,000 in the Bible it says love your neighbor, and really 203 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,320 I approach people in love. And if you're not doing that, 204 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,440 I guess you're really following the But you didn't say 205 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,039 that part you're not following the Bible. But that was 206 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,080 kind of the underlying He's there. So Charlie, what's going on. 207 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 6: With that let's let's let let's let her say it 208 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,279 one twenty it, and then I got a dish. 209 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,399 Speaker 2: I've shared prayers on here before and said God bless, 210 00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:16,559 and that's because my faith is really important to me. 211 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,320 And it's also one reason why I love every neighbor. 212 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,759 In Matthew twenty two, a religious teacher asked Jesus what's 213 00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:29,279 the most important commandment? And Jesus says, to love God 214 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,399 and to love your neighbor as yourself. The law and 215 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,000 the prophets hang on these two commandments. There's no greater 216 00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:38,559 commandments than these. Leave It's mentioned eight times love your neighbor. 217 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,559 So yes, everyone belongs, everyone's welcome, everyone is treated with 218 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,440 empathy and respect. It doesn't say love every neighbor, except 219 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,919 there are so many reasons. I stand strong in love, 220 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,759 stand with everyone. That's who I am, and the love 221 00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:56,000 back and the God bless. If you disagree is to. 222 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,879 Speaker 3: Genuine Andrew, I would just jack'spoid. I'm ying and to know, like, 223 00:14:00,919 --> 00:14:03,600 what do you think when miss Rachel quotes Scripture in 224 00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:03,960 that way? 225 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 6: I mean Satan's quote Scripture plenty. 226 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 5: It doesn't just say love your neighbor, though it does 227 00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:12,240 say love your neighbor, except in a sense as yourself. 228 00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 6: Behold on it. She's not totally wrong when she says, 229 00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:16,480 first of all, the first part is Deuteronomy six three 230 00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:18,679 through five. The second part is Leviticus nineteen. So you 231 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,799 love God, so you must love his law. How do 232 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,679 you love somebody? Here we go? Here we go? You 233 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,720 love them by telling them the truth, not by confirming 234 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,240 or affirming their sin. And it says, by the way, 235 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,440 miss Rachel, you might want to crack open that Bible 236 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,799 of yours. In a lesser referenced part of the same 237 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,879 part of scripture is in Leviticus eighteen is that thou 238 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,480 shalt lay with another man shall be stoned to death. 239 00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:47,879 Just saying, so, miss Rachel, you quote Leviticus nineteen, love 240 00:14:47,879 --> 00:14:52,960 your neighbor as yourself. The chapter before affirms God's perfect 241 00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:55,879 law when it comes to sexual matters. Now, so how 242 00:14:55,879 --> 00:14:57,200 do you best love somebody? 243 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:57,559 Speaker 2: All right? 244 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: So let me stop there. He's making a rhetorical point 245 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:08,600 about her use, her selective use of scripture, right, and 246 00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:12,240 she's relying on a particular passage that is immediately preceded 247 00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:15,159 by something that she obviously doesn't agree with and is 248 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,639 not espousing either she's not out there saying stone gay people. 249 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,519 She's not saying that, but she ignores that part, but 250 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,559 then looks at this other part and says, I'm going 251 00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:26,600 to use this and I'm going to cite this for 252 00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:29,639 the kiddies who by the way, as I understand, they 253 00:15:29,639 --> 00:15:31,279 were talking a little bit about this also in this 254 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:37,120 podcast where this Miss Rachel YouTuber is apparently recommended by 255 00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:43,080 pediatricians all the time when kids have an inability to speak, 256 00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:46,279 or they're stuttering or something, they're hesitating in their speech, 257 00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:48,159 and the doctors are all like, oh, go have them 258 00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:52,360 watched Miss Rachel, So like they're funneling kids to this woman, 259 00:15:53,039 --> 00:15:55,279 which they are outraged about. That's part of what they 260 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,440 discussed also, but that's the context of what he's talking about. 261 00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:04,600 He's not advocating that. He doesn't advocate that. He's pointing 262 00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:08,279 out that she is being selective in the way she 263 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,039 is interpreting the Bible and then pushing that message out. 264 00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:16,519 And what's most egregious is that the passage she is 265 00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:19,399 relying on is like just one passage away from this 266 00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:22,600 other part that she's editing out, and she's ignoring you. 267 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,799 Speaker 6: Love them by telling the truth. They have to be cruel. 268 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:30,519 You don't have to be on christ Like in your communication. However, 269 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,399 you certainly and I would love for miss Rachel to 270 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:40,279 respond to this is pride a Christian value? She thinks 271 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,720 it is happy Pride month. Everybody is being proud, something 272 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,639 that we should know. It's in fact, the scriptures tell 273 00:16:46,679 --> 00:16:49,559 us the opposite pride go with before the Fall, that 274 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,559 pride is something we need to try to reduce in 275 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,039 our life to increase humility and increase piety. 276 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 2: There is one. 277 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 5: Say that I said, there is one list that pride'es on. 278 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,319 Speaker 3: Well, listen, the Bible says, have a sober view of yourself, right, yes, yeah, 279 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,839 And it also says in Matthew eighteen six through four, 280 00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:13,240 if anyone causes one of these little ones, those who 281 00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:15,519 believe in me to stumble, it would be better for 282 00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:17,799 them to have a large millstone hung around their neck 283 00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:19,680 and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 284 00:17:19,759 --> 00:17:22,680 Woe to the world because of the things that cause 285 00:17:22,759 --> 00:17:23,720 people to stumble. 286 00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:27,039 Speaker 6: Yeah, And so it's very simple. So how do you 287 00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:30,359 love somebody you love them so much to correct their error? 288 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,480 And so let's just you know, take the pride conversation 289 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:35,559 out because people think it's an identification. But it's not 290 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,759 just sexual behavior, but it's if you meet an alcoholic 291 00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:43,400 or you meet a drug addict, do you affirm their struggle? No, 292 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,240 you say you're better than this. Let's get you free 293 00:17:46,279 --> 00:17:49,480 from that. Let's get you free from that activity. So, 294 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,720 miss Rachel, you're actually not loving anybody, You're doing the opposite. 295 00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: That's his position. You can disagree with it, but he's 296 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,200 obviously not advocating sconing gay people, which is what you 297 00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:02,079 hear people on the left now saying it's not true. 298 00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:05,720 Game on Week one starts now and every touchdown brings 299 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,359 you closer to a payout.

Going over this post 328 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,519 from Melissa Easily, Charlotte Mecklenburg School board member, and playing 329 00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:51,799 some audio debunking the lies the misquotes that the left 330 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,839 is promulgating in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death in 331 00:19:54,960 --> 00:20:01,559 order to justify, rationalize their evil, their hatred, and to say, 332 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,200 I'm not sure he should have been murdered. 333 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 2: But. 334 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: Here's a bigot, an a racist, and all these other things. 335 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,160 And when you actually hear the arguments that he is making, 336 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:18,680 you realize, oh, they are misquoting him. They are taking 337 00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:21,680 a part, a portion of his answer out of context 338 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,119 in order to advance a lie. Right, That's what they 339 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,720 are doing. So the next one that Easily posts is that, remember, 340 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,599 according to Charlie Kirk quote, it's okay to sacrifice a 341 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,319 few for your Second Amendment rights end quote. Okay, Well, 342 00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:40,680 first off, I don't think that's actually a quote, and 343 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,559 I know you, being a teacher and all, I'm sure 344 00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:47,680 you would adhere to the highest academic standards as a journalist, 345 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,440 former reporter myself. I will tell you you don't put 346 00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:53,720 quotes around something, right, that is not something that somebody said. 347 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,079 So let's hear what Charlie Kirk said, because here's the 348 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,559 clip of him talking about the trade off in a 349 00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:06,000 free society between security and liberty. This is what he said. 350 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 6: Now we must also be real, We must be honest 351 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,240 with the population. Having an armed citizenrycomes to the price, 352 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,519 and that is part of liberty. Driving comes to the price. 353 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,880 Fifty thousand, fifty thousand, fifty thousand people die in the 354 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,559 road every year. That's a price you get rid of driving. 355 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,480 You have fifty thousand less auto fatalities. But we have 356 00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:35,640 decided that the benefit of driving, speed, accessibility, mobility, having products, 357 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:41,079 services is worth the cost of fifty thousand people dying 358 00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:43,480 on the road. So we need to be very clear 359 00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:46,880 that you're not going to get gun deaths to zero. 360 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,000 It will not happen. You can significantly reduce them. You're 361 00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:54,880 having more fathers in the home by having more armed 362 00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:03,440 guards in front of schools. We should have an honest 363 00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:07,160 and clear reductionist view of gun violence, but we should 364 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,559 not have a utopian one. You will never live in 365 00:22:09,559 --> 00:22:12,000 a society when you've an armed citizenry and you won't 366 00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:14,759 have a single gun death. That is nonsense, it's drivel. 367 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,920 But I think it's I think it's worth it. I 368 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,440 think it's worth to have a cost of unfortunately some 369 00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:24,920 gun deaths every single year so that we can have 370 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,319 the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights. 371 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,240 That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks 372 00:22:33,319 --> 00:22:35,880 like this. They live in a complete alternate universe. So 373 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,079 then how do you reduce? Very simple people say, oh, Charlie, 374 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,640 how do you stop school shootings? I don't know. How 375 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,960 did we stop shootings at baseball games? Because we have 376 00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:49,200 armed guards outside of baseball games, that's why. How do 377 00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:53,119 we stop all the shootings at airports? We have armed 378 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,799 guards outside of airports. How do we stop all the 379 00:22:55,839 --> 00:22:59,279 shootings at banks? We have armed guards outside of banks. 380 00:23:00,759 --> 00:23:02,640 How do we stop all the shootings at gun shows? 381 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,720 Notice there's not a lot of mass shootings at gun shows. 382 00:23:04,839 --> 00:23:08,319 There's all these guns because everyone's armed. 383 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: Does that sound like he was saying it's okay to 384 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,119 sacrifice a few people for our Second Amendment rights? Is 385 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,839 that what he's saying? Life is about? Trade? Offs. This 386 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,720 is Thomas Sole. There are no solutions, there are only 387 00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:26,480 trade offs. His analogy to car deaths is one you 388 00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:30,119 have probably heard before if you've ever been around people 389 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,279 talking about the Second Amendment in a debate format, because 390 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:39,960 this is a pretty well worn and I don't say old, 391 00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:43,680 but it's been around a while. That, yes, if you 392 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,680 want to reduce the number of automobile deaths, which is 393 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,000 more than gun deaths, if you want to reduce automobile 394 00:23:50,039 --> 00:23:53,200 deaths to zero, right, And that's the argument that we 395 00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:56,440 got to take gun deaths to zero, then you would 396 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,119 ban all cars, right, But we don't do that. We 397 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,559 don't hear anybody calling for that. This is his argument. 398 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,440 And so then you get this. You have to then 399 00:24:06,519 --> 00:24:09,400 weigh the cost and the benefits. And what he clearly 400 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,640 says is we should have a reductionist view, in other words, 401 00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:16,599 we should want to reduce these deaths. He wants to 402 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:21,440 help do that. Yes, absolutely, everybody wants to reduce gun deaths. 403 00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:25,680 How do you do that? And when the utopian vision 404 00:24:25,759 --> 00:24:30,359 comes into play, they say ban all the guns, and 405 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,920 that's just silly. You can't. And I've had this argument 406 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,880 myself with gun grabby folks over the years, what do 407 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,920 they say, take all the guns? And my answer is, okay, 408 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,440 walk me through that. How does that happen? Because you've 409 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:50,160 got as many guns as there are people roughly, who's 410 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,480 gonna go get them, who's gonna go take them? You're 411 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,440 gonna ban them? You start kicking indoors because those people 412 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,160 got guns and they do not want to give them up. 413 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,400 And so if you're actually interest in reducing gun deaths, 414 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,839 you're actually going to have more gun deaths as soon 415 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,319 as you ban them, because you're going to have firefights 416 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,640 between people who refuse to give up their guns. So 417 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,480 that's the utopian vision, which is absurd. Utopia is not 418 00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:20,839 one of the options. But once again, evil lies. These 419 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,279 are the lies that you're being sold that, oh, we 420 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,160 can do zero gun des we can get to zero 421 00:25:28,279 --> 00:25:32,839 gun deaths. And what he's arguing is that a cost 422 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:38,359 benefit analysis would indicate that in a free society there 423 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,279 is always going to be gun deaths. And he's exactly right, 424 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,920 unless you ban all the guns and murder all the 425 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,279 gun owners. And then after that, when you have a 426 00:25:51,319 --> 00:25:54,960 completely disarmed population, well then you could stick a whole 427 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,920 bunch of shots in their arms with any given pin. 428 00:25:57,039 --> 00:25:59,519 I'm sorry, No, that's too soon. Probably too soon? 429 00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 6: All right? 430 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,599 Speaker 1: You hear me talk a lot about incentives, right, Well, 431 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,160 let's talk about incentive trips, the kind that companies offer 432 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,440 employees to fire them up and reward their teams. If 433 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,599 you own a business or you work somewhere that offers 434 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,640 these incentive trips, first off, good for you. But also 435 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,240 there is a custom app that's a game changer for 436 00:26:17,279 --> 00:26:22,160 these trips. It's called Incentive Tripkit. Private group messaging, shared photos, 437 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,079 your itinerary, travel details all built into a single, easy 438 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,279 to use app. There's even a traveler locator so Carl 439 00:26:29,319 --> 00:26:32,160 from Accounting doesn't get left behind. The best part about 440 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,079 incentive trip Kit it's totally private. No email captures, no 441 00:26:36,279 --> 00:26:40,480 sign ups, no cringe ads. It's simple, clean and secure. 442 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,559 And when the trip is over, Incentive trip Kit turns 443 00:26:43,599 --> 00:26:47,519 those highlights into a professional storytelling video. So think about it. 444 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,319 When you launch next year's incentive trip campaign, that video 445 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,000 becomes your greatest motivator. Talk about a return on investment. Right, 446 00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:58,440 You got to check out incentive trip Kit for your business. 447 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,839 Visit Incentive trip Kit because great trips deserve even better 448 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:08,799 returns from the WBT text line from somebody who is 449 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:14,039 anonymous seven oh four number his comments on black pilots 450 00:27:14,079 --> 00:27:18,240 he wouldn't trust DEI explained what did he mean by that? 451 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:24,000 I haven't heard anyone explain him saying that, well, you 452 00:27:24,079 --> 00:27:27,759 know me, mister or ms anonymous texter, I am a 453 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,279 giver and so I give to you an easily found 454 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,559 YouTube clip of Charlie Kirk responding to this very question 455 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,000 because he took all sorts of questions over the course 456 00:27:39,039 --> 00:27:42,799 of years on college campuses, and he has asked about that. 457 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:49,759 This would have been from three months ago. 458 00:27:50,519 --> 00:27:53,319 Speaker 7: Yeah, so last year you said something about de I 459 00:27:53,599 --> 00:27:56,160 unqualified black polots. You see a pilm a black pilot. 460 00:27:56,799 --> 00:27:59,200 Don't you think it was irresponsible statement suggesting that maybe 461 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,720 these pilots AREN'TQUI. 462 00:28:02,079 --> 00:28:03,839 Speaker 6: But I'll tell you exactly what I said and why 463 00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:07,359 I said it. Okay, I said, if the pretext I 464 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,839 went through a whole wind up, I said, United Airlines 465 00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:12,160 is saying that they want forty percent of all the 466 00:28:12,279 --> 00:28:15,559 pilots to be people of color or women. We have 467 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,039 learned that that we have relaxed standards anytime that we 468 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,319 try to reach Rachel quotas. Anytime we reach racial quotas, 469 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,920 we relax the standards standards or air traffic control professors 470 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,599 or college admissions. Therefore, when it comes to pilots or surgeons, 471 00:28:31,079 --> 00:28:33,319 if I see somebody who is black, as I said 472 00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:35,640 on the show, I'm going to hope that that person 473 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,119 is qualified. That's what I said, which of course is legitimate, 474 00:28:38,319 --> 00:28:41,000 because they're begging the question. We're not hiring based on 475 00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:44,799 merit anymore. We're hiring based on race. So when you 476 00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:47,720 see a black pilot, you wonder, boy, is that person 477 00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:50,839 there because they earned it or because they were placed there? 478 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,400 That's what DEI does. It makes you ask questions you 479 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,559 otherwise would not ask. 480 00:28:55,079 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 7: So the airline industry is going to take an unqualified person. 481 00:28:58,039 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 6: Just based off the version they're qualify, not correct, under. 482 00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 7: Quest qualify, underqualified, whatever, uncertified, and put them in a cotpit. No, 483 00:29:05,279 --> 00:29:06,200 and risk people's lives. 484 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,279 Speaker 6: Those are two different things, under and on or two 485 00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:11,240 different things. Of course, United Airlines will not take someone 486 00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:12,480 off the side of the street and put them in 487 00:29:12,519 --> 00:29:15,000 a pilot pilot, But in order to reach a forty 488 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000 percent goal, they might cut corners, they might accelerate the 489 00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:21,640 process in order to reach a goal. We know this 490 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,519 through all sorts of DEI examinations and projects over the 491 00:29:24,599 --> 00:29:26,960 last ten years. When you when you can, you have 492 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,519 to choose in life, either excellence or racial quotas will 493 00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:33,519 end up being the most important, and both cannot simultaneous, 494 00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:35,720 simultaneous exist. It's never happened before. 495 00:29:35,839 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 7: Okay, So when we talk about DI, well, who benefits 496 00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:39,759 the most, because black people really don't. It's only like 497 00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:42,000 maybe three to four percent of black people actually benefit 498 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,400 from those programs. So who benefits the most? 499 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 6: I'm not sure your question. I mean, theoretically, if forty 500 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,440 percent of all pilots end up being black people are. 501 00:29:51,319 --> 00:29:53,079 Speaker 7: But that's not I actually looked it up. It's only 502 00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:54,400 like maybe about six percent of pilots. 503 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,319 Speaker 6: Their goal is forty percent, right, that's the point is 504 00:29:56,319 --> 00:29:58,119 like that that's actually a great point. So they wanted 505 00:29:58,119 --> 00:30:01,000 to go from six percent to forty percent, and so 506 00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:02,720 you have to wonder, Boy, you go from six percent 507 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,079 to forty percent, there's going to be a relaxing of standards. 508 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:06,319 Speaker 7: Okay, I guess the way. 509 00:30:06,319 --> 00:30:06,839 Speaker 6: I'm all right. 510 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,079 Speaker 1: So that's what he said. That's what he meant about 511 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,759 black pilots and by the way, on this this is 512 00:30:13,799 --> 00:30:18,000 also true that when you codified this is what happens. 513 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,920 Also when he mentioned universities, when you have affirmative action, 514 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,160 you had kids getting admitted into colleges that were not qualified. 515 00:30:27,839 --> 00:30:34,160 That then creates this It creates this idea among the 516 00:30:34,359 --> 00:30:38,000 entire student population and even those outside of that campus. 517 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,839 When they know that kids are being promoted or admitted 518 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:48,440 based on race, they now start asking when they encounter 519 00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:52,640 anybody from that school of the same race that was 520 00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:56,079 getting the benefit, they started asking, well, is this person 521 00:30:56,119 --> 00:30:59,200 actually qualified or did they just get in there because 522 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,519 of the color of their skin? A right, That's what happens. 523 00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:09,720 This is the that's the negative downside of these DEI policies. 524 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,039 I've talked about that for years. So that's what he 525 00:31:13,079 --> 00:31:15,880 actually said as opposed to what people are saying on 526 00:31:16,079 --> 00:31:20,359 social media now. Melissa Easley, Charlotte Mecklinberg school board member, 527 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,359 not content with her dumb assery, doubled down on it, saying, 528 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,799 I made a social media post on my personal Facebook 529 00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:29,240 page regarding the death of Charlie Kirk. As I stated 530 00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:32,000 in my post, I do not condone political violence which 531 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,720 is occurring with more frequency in our country, but I 532 00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:37,640 thought crime was down. I want to be clear that 533 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,680 I was speaking freely as an individual citizen, which is 534 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,839 a right afforded to us all, and not on behalf 535 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,440 of the Charlotte Meckliberg Board of Education or as a 536 00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:48,359 board member. So this is the clown nos On clown 537 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,079 knows Off that like John Stewart Stephen Colbert always do 538 00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:53,119 where it's like, well, I'm just a comedian, and then 539 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,799 of course they give you like the straight news, I'm 540 00:31:54,799 --> 00:31:56,160 gonna tell you what to think about stuff, and then 541 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,759 when you challenge them on their dumb assery, they're like, 542 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,480 I'm just a comedian. Cloud knows On. She says, my 543 00:32:02,519 --> 00:32:06,000 comments reflected my personal views and should not be mischaracterized 544 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,359 as celebrating violence or the loss of life.
