10
00:00:33,799 --> 00:00:39,520
Kirk has been captured. He was apparently taken into custody. Yesterday.

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,960
There was a news conference. We carried it live here

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,439
on WBT at the time. I've pulled one chunk of

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,840
audio that we'll listen to. It's from the governor, Spencer Cox,

14
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:53,240
who closed out the comments before they turned it over

15
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:58,079
for Q and A. He closed out the comment portion

16
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,280
of the news conference with I thought a very powerful

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,000
and well said close. So we'll take a listen to that.

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,480
It runs about nine minutes, but it's well worth your time.

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,400
And before I get into some of the details that

20
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:20,640
we do know that came out of the press conference,

21
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:25,719
I want to start with what the reaction has been

22
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,840
on the left. We heard some of these arguments articulated

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,280
yesterday from about four or five different callers to this show,

24
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,400
and they all followed a sort of similar pattern, which is,

25
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:54,079
I'm not saying he should have been killed, but like,

26
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:59,040
that's the framing that the left has been using when

27
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,159
they are not out right celebrating, And there was a

28
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:04,519
lot of it. There has been so much of it

29
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,520
that now the right has engaged in a cancelation campaign

30
00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:15,120
against every single one of you, sacks of turds, all

31
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:20,960
of you right. If your response to somebody being murdered

32
00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:25,280
is to celebrate because you disagreed with their politics, you

33
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:32,120
are broken. You are a broken person. There was a

34
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:39,680
wave of celebration by leftists, I mean boldly, unabashedly, unembarrassingly

35
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:48,280
posting under their own social media profiles, and it was

36
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,639
so overwhelming. There were so many of them racing to

37
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:58,840
the keyboards or to their phones to express how happy

38
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,360
they were that Charlie Kirk was murdered in front of

39
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,000
his three year old daughter, his one year old son,

40
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,759
and his wife, as well as thousands of his fans.

41
00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:19,199
They loved it, they loved it, and so conservatives, even normies.

42
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,599
I mean, that's the thing. Charlie Kirk was like, he

43
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:26,000
was as kind of a normy conservative as you're gonna

44
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:33,599
get in the content creation space. And so conservatives, young people,

45
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:36,560
fans of Charlie Kirk, people who are on the left too,

46
00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:39,360
are liberal, but are repulsed by what they are seeing.

47
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:48,639
They've begun identifying people and asking their employers do you

48
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,439
want this person working for you, which, of course is

49
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:54,319
now prompted. Oh my gosh. I thought you guys were

50
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:02,199
against cancel culture and against cancelation campaigns. We were, Yeah,

51
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:05,439
we were, And then you guys set a new rule

52
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:08,719
and we all were living under your rule, and we

53
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:10,960
were the ones getting targeted. We were the ones that

54
00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:15,599
I have been a target of this. You know, Leftists

55
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:18,439
don't like something that I say, and so they they

56
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:23,240
try to, you know, target advertisers, try to get me fired,

57
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,040
send messages to the boss, to the management, to the

58
00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:32,399
owners of advertising, the companies that advertise. And that's always

59
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,959
been the playbook from the left since I've been in radio.

60
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:41,199
That's that's pretty standard. But then they expanded that with

61
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:45,759
the rise of social media. They expanded that to destroy

62
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:50,160
anybody on social media that did not fall in line.

63
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,160
And of course the whole point of that is intimidation,

64
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,000
much like swatting, sending swat teams to your house under

65
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,399
fake nine one one calls, if it's not an outright

66
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:04,839
attempt to murder you, to have the cops murder you.

67
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,720
And that's what I think you should be charged with.

68
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,959
And I still don't know why we don't have swatting

69
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,480
laws with severe punishments, like I mean, it's an attempted murder.

70
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,040
That's in my view. I would love to see legislation.

71
00:05:19,079 --> 00:05:22,399
I would like to see that codified in law. But

72
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,079
even if you can't, even if they can't get you killed,

73
00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:28,759
the idea is to scare you to the point that

74
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:33,720
you will shut up. It's why they post your address,

75
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,199
your home address. Had that happened to me. I've had

76
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:37,920
that happen to me so many times, I don't even

77
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,720
know how many anymore. And it's intimidation. It's an implied threat.

78
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,199
They walk a line. That is what was what one

79
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,120
of them said to me after the big blow up

80
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:56,319
with the UH. The the woman that she was it

81
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,480
wasn't it was with the ACLU, and she was a

82
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,759
formerly incarcerated, or as I call them, fips. She was

83
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,720
a FIP and the ACLU, I think it was Yeah,

84
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,040
They were like, we need to know her lived experience

85
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,360
her truth, and so they put her on their payroll

86
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:14,560
as like a lobbyist or something, and she was just

87
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:22,399
a vile, nasty, destructive, and threatening individual. They eventually cut

88
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:25,680
her loose after she came after me with these types

89
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,560
of attacks using homophobic and racial slurs, and then we

90
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,720
would get messages like touch one, touch us all, or

91
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,000
something like that. In other words, it's a threat. It's

92
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,560
if you say anything about her, I'm gonna come kill you.

93
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,839
Oh and here's your address and a picture of your house.

94
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:45,959
So we were getting that this is how the left operates.

95
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:51,959
And so now you're getting your rules, you're getting a

96
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,040
taste of your own medicine. But here's the difference. Whereas

97
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,720
you want to target me because I'm a conservative libertarian,

98
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,439
I don't even know anymore, right, but I don't agree

99
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,399
with leftists. I'm anti communists, and so you want to

100
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:08,639
come after people like me. You want to attack me,

101
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:13,759
threaten me, intimidate me, try to shut me up. But

102
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:24,079
you celebrate murder, which one creates a more hostile work environment. Seriously,

103
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,279
if you have to sit next to somebody at a cubicle,

104
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:31,399
you got to work with somebody at the office or wherever,

105
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,000
and you get a choice between somebody who disagrees with

106
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:45,160
your politics and somebody who is happy when people who

107
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:48,319
agree with you are murdered, which is a greater threat

108
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:53,040
to you, which creates more of a risk in your workplace.

109
00:07:54,319 --> 00:08:00,800
So you actually have a credible complaint. One are the

110
00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:06,839
other things Chris Ruffo noticed this, as did I. The

111
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:13,279
number of people celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder are well, the population,

112
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:17,680
let's say, is it appears to be overrepresented in the

113
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:25,560
categories of certain professions. Number one that I noticed there

114
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:31,079
are an awful lot of educators quote unquote. Why is that?

115
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,440
Why would that be? Why would there be so many

116
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,360
teachers and professors and people who work for the school systems. Well,

117
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:41,320
why are they like all over the place celebrating this murder?

118
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,360
And what are they teaching kids? And what if they

119
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:51,279
know that kids in their classroom liked Charlie Kirk. If

120
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:53,480
you're a kid in a class and your teacher is

121
00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:58,840
doing touchdown celebrations on TikTok, that Charlie Kirk was murdered.

122
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,399
What kind of an education do you think that teacher

123
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,480
is giving you? Is it like the education that the

124
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,000
shooter got? Because that's what it looks like. Guy got

125
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,960
radicalized while at college. That's what it looks like. I

126
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,360
don't know that to be true yet, but that's what

127
00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:21,120
it sure looks like at this point. Psychologists, social workers,

128
00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:26,200
these what Christopher Ruffo calls helping professions. Why are there

129
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,720
so many people from these helping professions, these professions of kindness?

130
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:36,639

meet a bunch of people, see a bunch of people again,

169
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,159
a couple of folks from my old college days down

170
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,960
in rock Hill. And there's like three people that came

171
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:50,759
up and talked about either how they had lost a

172
00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:53,399
bunch of weight on PhD weight loss or their spouse

173
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,960
had lost weight on PhD. So thank you for coming

174
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,840
and sharing those stories too. Is really great. We're going

175
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:02,200
to be doing another blood We're doing them every Thursday.

176
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,320
This month is part of Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. So

177
00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:09,360
next Thursday, we are going to be broadcasting live from

178
00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:14,679
Watson Insurance in Belmont, Okay. So go to WBT dot com,

179
00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:18,759
register your appointment and come on out and say hey,

180
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,399
all right, So the cancel campaign that's going on right

181
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:29,000
now going after people who have been celebrating the murder

182
00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:35,879
of Charlie Kirk. And maybe maybe five years ago, six

183
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,879
years ago, seven years ago, I would I would be

184
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,960
saying like, no, no, no, we shouldn't be doing this.

185
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,279
People like it's wrong when the left does it, and

186
00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:45,840
we shouldn't be engaging in the same sort of thing.

187
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,200
But see, that's the thing, guys. When you set the

188
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:55,159
new standard and you enforce that standard with ferocity, you

189
00:12:55,399 --> 00:13:00,480
cannot be shocked when your opponents adapt and play by

190
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:03,440
that new standard. And that's what we're seeing. And we've

191
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,000
got to We've got examples here locally, they're all they're happening.

192
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:11,559
It's happening all over the country, these people who come

193
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:17,039
out and feel comfortable enough to revel in the murder,

194
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,639
the assassination of an innocent person. Charlie Kirk was innocent

195
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,840
of anything that warrants the death penalty. You may not

196
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,519
like what he said, you may not like him, you

197
00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:32,720
may think he's a horrible person. And here's the thing,

198
00:13:32,799 --> 00:13:35,879
I don't care you don't get to murder people because

199
00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:39,440
you disagree with them. That is a complete breakdown of

200
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:47,120
the society. So here is U, Charlotte Mecklenberg's school board

201
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:50,039
member District one. She actually on the Yeah, she is

202
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,159
on the she's on the board now, I believe. And

203
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,639
she posted up onto the Facebook. Her name is Melissa Easley.

204
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,480
She says, here's what I'm going to say today. Just stop,

205
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,240
just stop, like you didn't need to do this. It's

206
00:14:04,279 --> 00:14:09,200
amazing how many people are lighting their careers on fire

207
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,720
over this. Now, maybe she thinks she can say this

208
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,039
sort of thing because she's a Democrat, and that's a

209
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,080
democrat privilege right there is you get to say crazy

210
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,000
things like this and it doesn't affect your electoral prospects.

211
00:14:21,159 --> 00:14:27,919
You don't get shunned in polite and civil society. She says,

212
00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:31,600
here's what I'm going to say about today. Politically motivated

213
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:35,600
gun violence is not okay, no matter what side you

214
00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:39,200
are on. That is the disappointing part. And I am

215
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,799
saddened that this was yet another political issue that caused

216
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:46,600
a death. It wasn't a political issue that caused a death.

217
00:14:47,159 --> 00:14:52,759
It was the fomenting of hatred for one's political opponents,

218
00:14:53,600 --> 00:15:00,120
fellow Americans. There has been a stoking of hatred. It

219
00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:05,759
has been going on for years against Republicans, whether it's

220
00:15:05,799 --> 00:15:08,799
the depiction of Paul Ryan throwing an elderly woman off

221
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,120
of a cliff. What do you do to somebody like that?

222
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,960
Think about that? What do you do you see somebody

223
00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:23,080
murder an elderly woman? What is the punishment for doing that? Right?

224
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,080
You keep on amping up, amping up, and then of

225
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,720
course it hits the crescendo, or not even because it

226
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:35,320
still goes. It hasn't stopped. It's like it kept building

227
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:41,240
and building. Donald Trump wins, you get Kathy Griffin with her,

228
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,919
you know, severed head of Donald Trump, and you get

229
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:48,879
all of this violence, fetish porn that the left is

230
00:15:49,039 --> 00:15:51,720
just stewing in. Then of course you have the rise

231
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:57,120
of the Antifa, with the Black Lives Matter riots, mostly peaceful,

232
00:15:57,159 --> 00:16:00,679
sometimes fiery riots, and the looting and some much.

233
00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: So.

234
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: She goes on to say, but do not expect me

235
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,240
to feel sorry, pity or mournful for the man that

236
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,639
has gone around saying I or my spouse are abominations.

237
00:16:13,679 --> 00:16:16,840
I don't believe he ever said that he was an

238
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,879
opponent of gay marriage, though, so I guess too easily.

239
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,080
She's now the victim. I'm the victim from him not

240
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,720
agreeing with me on gay marriage. You're not the victim.

241
00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:32,440
This is the narcissism of the left. I'm so freaking

242
00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:35,840
sick of it, this tendency for interpersonal victimhood. That you

243
00:16:35,879 --> 00:16:40,720
are constantly viewing yourself as the victim of violence because

244
00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:45,320
somebody disagrees with what you think. You have a different opinion.

245
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,279
It's not violence, you deranged person on the school board who,

246
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,720
by the way, he is a former teacher and cannot

247
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,000
spell the word pity. What the hell? You are a

248
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,080
member of the school board. You are a teacher and

249
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,159
you spell pity p T t y. You know that

250
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:09,720
Facebook gave you an autocorrect suggestion on that What the hell? Sorry?

251
00:17:10,519 --> 00:17:15,480
A little fired up, she says that he's gone around

252
00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:18,599
saying I are my spouse or abominations, that we are

253
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,960
mentally ill, that we don't deserve the same rights as

254
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,839
everybody else, that Charlie Kirk has never said there are

255
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,039
different rights for different people. He has never said that.

256
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,680
In fact, he's argued that we all enjoy equal protection

257
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,839
under the law, and he says, Remember, according to Charlie Kirk,

258
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,000
it's okay to sacrifice a few for your Second Amendment rights,

259
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,920
which is of course the clip that's been taken out

260
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,200
of context by people that never listened to anything Charlie

261
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,160
Kirk ever said in their lives. But somebody on a

262
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,559
lefty TikTok channel whent and found a clip, dare i say,

263
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,519
selectively edited it to make him sound like he's saying

264
00:17:56,559 --> 00:17:59,640
something that he's not. They did the same thing with

265
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,640
the the he Semitism charged that. Oh, by the way,

266
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,799
the New York Times promulgated and then of course had

267
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:07,079
to issue a correction because that wasn't true. He was

268
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,119
restating a position in order to dismantle it. But they

269
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,519
took his restatement as if it was his statement, which

270
00:18:13,519 --> 00:18:15,680
it wasn't. All right, you hear me talk a lot

271
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,400
about incentives, right, Well, let's talk about incentive trips, the

272
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,279
kind that companies offer employees to fire them up and

273
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,920
reward their teams. If you own a business or you

274
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,200
work somewhere that offers these incentive trips, first off, good

275
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,720
for you, but also there is a custom app that's

276
00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:34,200
a game changer for these trips. It's called incentive trip Kit.

277
00:18:34,519 --> 00:18:38,920
Private group messaging, shared photos, your itinerary, travel details, all

278
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,160
built into a single, easy to use app. There's even

279
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,359
a traveler locator, so Carl from accounting doesn't get left behind.

280
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,880
The best part about incentive trip Kit it's totally private.

281
00:18:49,079 --> 00:18:53,680
No email captures, no sign ups, no cringe ads. It's simple,

282
00:18:53,839 --> 00:18:57,119
clean and secure. And when the trip is over, incentive

283
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,039
trip Kit turns those highlights into a professional storytelling video.

284
00:19:01,279 --> 00:19:04,160
So think about it. When you launched next year's incentive

285
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,240
trip campaign, that video becomes your greatest motivator. Talk about

286
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,680
a return on investment. Right, You got to check out

289
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:21,039
let me go over and I'm gonna play some soundbites here,

290
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:24,079
but i'll get on Mike here first. Hello, Mike, Welcome

291
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:24,599
to the show.

292
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 2: Hey Pete, how are you?

293
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: Hey? I'm all right, what's up?

294
00:19:28,839 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 2: Good? The comments that were made by the school board member,

295
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,920
one I don't agree with them, and two I think

296
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:46,720
it some people might focus just on per comments and

297
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,720
that's not what I think is the gentleman that was

298
00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:56,599
assassinated was talking about. I don't think he was trying

299
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:03,279
to pick one sin and just focus on that, because

300
00:20:03,279 --> 00:20:06,440
sin is sin no matter what it is. He was

301
00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:13,240
just trying to get people like that that school board

302
00:20:13,279 --> 00:20:17,440
member to be able to sit down and talk intelligently

303
00:20:17,599 --> 00:20:19,039
and calmly well.

304
00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: And also he was also proselytizing because this issue came up.

305
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:28,319
There's a pretty famous exchange that he had with a

306
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,400
college kid, and he talked about the stoning of the

307
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,599
woman the prostitute, right, and he told the story you

308
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,039
know that Jesus said he without sin cast the first

309
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:43,640
stone and that so that was mercy, but it wasn't

310
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,039
just mercy people like to drop off. The second part

311
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,039
of that was that Jesus, yes, said but you know,

312
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,400
he without sin cast the first stone. So he steps

313
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,000
in to provide the mercy. But then he also tells

314
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,079
her truth, which is what now go and sin no more? Right,

315
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,640
Like That's so it's not just a simple thing like oh,

316
00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:07,599
just you know, don't cast stones, right, but also then

317
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,480
don't go sin anymore. And for a Christian, that's what

318
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:12,599
he's all. That's also part of his message.

319
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. I used to have discussions with people that

320
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,599
I disagreed, that disagreed with me, and I would just

321
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,400
say that, hey, your argument is not with me, your

322
00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:29,839
argument is with God, right, because it wasn't Charlie's idea,

323
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,240
it wasn't our ideas. It's in the infallible word of God.

324
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:41,960
So I hope that her comments don't try to rob

325
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:47,599
people of thinking that that was the only thing that

326
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,119
he was focusing.

327
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: Well, that is her attempt. Obviously, that is her attempt.

328
00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:53,680
And there are people on the left that have never

329
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,920
heard Charlie Kirk's comments or seen his videos and listen

330
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,640
to full debates. What they're going off of our little

331
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,200
clips that leftists are circulating in order to try to

332
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,480
build a case as to why this guy deserved to

333
00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:10,279
be murdered in cold blood. That's what they're doing. It's

334
00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:12,839
the same thing they did with Luigi Mangioni in trying

335
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,240
to justify his actions in the cold blooded murder of

336
00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:18,359
the United Healthcare CEO as well. So, Mike, I appreciate

337
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,759
the call, buddy, thank you, good to hear from you.

338
00:22:19,759 --> 00:22:22,920
Have a good weekend. Yeah, take care. Feat Here is

339
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,160
a clip from a guy named Zach Hoyt. He goes

340
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,880
by the online name of Asman Gold. He's a YouTuber,

341
00:22:32,039 --> 00:22:36,599
content creator, online streamer, now more recently a political commentator.

342
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,119
He used to primarily focus on video games, World of

343
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,279
Warcraft and such, but now he covers politics as well

344
00:22:43,319 --> 00:22:47,119
as video games and topics related to gaming culture. And

345
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,000
there is a story in the from the gaming world.

346
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,759
Here it is there is a developer called Sucker Punch Productions,

347
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,160
and they are getting ready to release a video game.

348
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:08,799
It's a sequel, it's called Ghost of Yotai. And apparently

349
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,160
one of the developers of this game went online and

350
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,240
was celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk. And here's what

351
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,720
Zach Hoyt said on his YouTube channel.

352
00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 3: This is again another person who is celebrating this type

353
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,279
of violent behavior. And I think that again people need

354
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:29,519
to make their voices known and make them heard that

355
00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:32,759
this is just simply not acceptable. This is not normal.

356
00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:36,119
This is not what average people want. We don't want

357
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,599
to have people that are openly making statements and calls

358
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,079
to violence like this, or celebrating calls to violence or

359
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,319
actual violence like this, making our products.

360
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,279
Speaker 1: It's disgusting.

361
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,519
Speaker 3: And I know that some people would maybe consider and say, well,

362
00:23:51,559 --> 00:23:53,240
this is something that could be a little bit like

363
00:23:53,319 --> 00:23:55,759
cancel culture, and I want to say that it absolutely

364
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,680
is one hundred percent. Is the fact is that these

365
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,359
are the same types of people who would lie about

366
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,599
you and make up things about you and try to

367
00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:09,480
destroy your career and destroy your reputation for disagreeing with

368
00:24:09,519 --> 00:24:13,119
them on something political. But now whenever it's happening to them,

369
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,880
they're the victims. Well, if you want to be the victim,

370
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:16,799
it's time to earn it.

371
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:17,279
Speaker 1: I think.

372
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 3: Also, here's another thing is that if you work at

373
00:24:20,519 --> 00:24:23,200
one of these companies and you have one of these

374
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,799
individuals that works at your company, you do have a

375
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,079
recourse to this, and that's calling and talking to HR.

376
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:34,240
Because the fact is that HR does not operate in

377
00:24:34,319 --> 00:24:36,880
your best interest, and it doesn't operate in their best

378
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,200
interest either. It operates in the best interest of the company.

379
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,559
And when you have people that are making public statements

380
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,000
and calls to violence and celebrating violence like that, they're

381
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,079
creating a hostile and an unsafe work environment. And anybody

382
00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:53,559
who works in HR, or anybody who works inside of

383
00:24:53,599 --> 00:24:56,359
any sort of corporate environment will tell you that that's

384
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,200
something that just can't exist in the corporate environment. There's

385
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,000
a reason why we have levels of decorum, and there

386
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:05,799
are some levels of HR that makes sense. And so

387
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,640
if you work at one of these companies and you

388
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,000
have a person like this doing it, make sure to

389
00:25:10,039 --> 00:25:12,559
talk to HR and let them know how uncomfortable you

390
00:25:12,599 --> 00:25:15,519
feel that there's a person who's working at your company

391
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:18,880
who might want to advocate to have you killed because

392
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,839
you disagree with them. Tell them that it makes you

393
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,480
afraid to come into work. Tell you that, tell them

394
00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:25,039
that you know, you don't know, maybe you're going to

395
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,119
file a lawsuit. You feel unsafe at your workplace. And honestly,

396
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:33,200
here's the important thing. You should feel unsafe because these

397
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,799
people would justify violence against anybody who disagrees with them.

398
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,839
And just because you think you know them doesn't mean

399
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,920
they wouldn't do the exact same thing to you.

400
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: And this is them.

401
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,279
Speaker 3: This is the game that they're making right here, and

402
00:25:46,319 --> 00:25:49,920
you can see that they've made no statement about this. Now,

403
00:25:50,079 --> 00:25:52,559
let me ask you a very simple question. If these

404
00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:56,759
people made a degrading comment towards the trans community, for example,

405
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,200
or towards the black community, for example, do you think

406
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,359
Sucker Punch would have immediately fired them and made a

407
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,960
statement I think so absolutely. But for some reason, these

408
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,039
people are protected. And the reason why they're protected is

409
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:11,079
because there's a lot of other ones at the company

410
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,519
that feel the exact same way that they do. That's

411
00:26:13,599 --> 00:26:16,279
the only logical reason that I have, And I think

412
00:26:16,319 --> 00:26:19,680
that at a certain points, Sony or somebody needs to

413
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,839
step in. Whoever owns this company needs to step in

414
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,720
and root out this disease before it kills the entire company,

415
00:26:26,759 --> 00:26:29,839
because I do think that it will have a tremendously

416
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,759
negative effect on the game.

417
00:26:32,079 --> 00:26:34,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it already is. People are demanding refunds for their

418
00:26:34,839 --> 00:26:39,799
pre order sales or yeah, they're pre launch sales. So

419
00:26:39,839 --> 00:26:42,880
it is already affecting the game. So when I was

420
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,119
a kid, my grandpa died with Alzheimer's, and before he died,

421
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,079
my mom and my dad took care of him as

422
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,920
he got worse. Forty years ago, there were no treatments

423
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,160
and not much support for caregivers and family. Things are

424
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,839
different today because of the work of so many people,

425
00:26:57,079 --> 00:27:00,440
including the Alzheimer's Association of Western Carolina. It's a great

426
00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:03,759
organization with awesome people with huge hearts. I've been a

427
00:27:03,799 --> 00:27:06,759
supporter for twenty five years. This cause means a lot

428
00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:10,119
to me. I participate in the annual Walk to end

429
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,039
Alzheimer's and I'm leading a Charlotte team again this year

430
00:27:13,319 --> 00:27:16,359
and it's called once again Pete's Pack. You can sign

431
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,640

Gastonia Walk on October eleventh, and so you can make

438
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,680
a team and join that one too, or make a

00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,400
donation and help me hit my goal of five thousand dollars.

440
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,559
If you do, I really appreciate it. There are a

441
00:27:44,599 --> 00:27:47,200
bunch of other walks all over the Carolinas. You can

442
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,920
go to alz dot org slash Walk for all the

443
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,599
dates and locations. We're closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's.

444
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,400
Can you help us get there? Will you walk with me?

445
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,519
For a different future, for families, for more time for treatments.

446
00:27:59,799 --> 00:28:03,119
This is why we walk. A tweet from Fisher King,

447
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,319
who says destroying the lives and careers of people celebrating

448
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,039
this political murder is essential. The people doing this have

449
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,279
participated in canceled culture but never felt it. They need

450
00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:17,480
to feel it. They need to know what it's like

451
00:28:17,599 --> 00:28:23,079
to have a mob ruin your life. Lake Norman Charter

452
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,559
School fired or sorry, put on administrative leave an employee

453
00:28:29,559 --> 00:28:32,880
for their postings on social media about the assassination of

454
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,319
Charlie Kirk. They said that a member of their staff

455
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,440
shared a hateful and highly offensive sentiment. They did not

456
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,720
say what position was held by the employee. According to

457
00:28:43,799 --> 00:28:48,839
the story a WBTV, they're doing a complete investigation, which

458
00:28:48,839 --> 00:28:51,720
should really only take you as much time as it

459
00:28:51,759 --> 00:28:56,200
takes to read the tweet or the post. Really. Meanwhile,

460
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,519
over at the Carolina Panthers once again made some national

461
00:28:59,559 --> 00:29:03,160
news Job Carolina Panthers because they fired one of their

462
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,920
employees for a social media post following Charlie Kirk's death.

463
00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:13,519
Then there was a high school teacher in Greenville County,

464
00:29:13,559 --> 00:29:18,680
South Carolina, also reportedly without a job. The school district

465
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,559
said they were aware of the message and confirmed that

466
00:29:20,599 --> 00:29:23,000
it was written by a social studies teacher who was

467
00:29:23,079 --> 00:29:29,400
working at Southside High School. What else? Oh, I just

468
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,640
saw this, Thank you for sending it over. This is

469
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:38,559
a post by parn Baxter, who is the hang on

470
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:44,440
a second, the always got he him in his of

471
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:51,440
course he is the sits on the North Carolina Democrat

472
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:57,319
Party Executive Committee. He's in Union County, works for C

473
00:29:57,599 --> 00:30:03,640
one in Charlotte as a recruiter. And he posted there

474
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,599
is absolutely a price for being a fascist. There is

475
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,079
a price for evil. All this he had a family

476
00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:13,960
or he was only thirty one, It's all pure nonsense.

477
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,039
It's actually true. He was only thirty one and he

478
00:30:17,079 --> 00:30:20,519
did have a family. Y'all. Doing this dance puts his

479
00:30:20,599 --> 00:30:23,519
life over the countless lives of people that he danced

480
00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:30,839
in the blood of this Democrat Party official from Union County.

481
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,880
Justifying the cold blooded murder of a political opponent, y'all

482
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,880
are literally doing the work of white supremacy by posting

483
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,240
or expressing more sadness when Charlie Bleeping Kirk, a hate mongerer,

484
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,200
dies than you did. When black people are killed, or

485
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:50,920
brown people are harassed, or Palestinians are smashed into gooey

486
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,039
red paste with our tax dollars that's proof of how

487
00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:58,079
much internalized and embraced white supremacy is within so many

488
00:30:58,119 --> 00:31:03,839
in America, left or rightmocrat or Republican. He says, we

489
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,599
are in fascism now. So this is the ideology that

490
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,960
motivated the shooter. That's why the carvings on the AMMO

491
00:31:13,839 --> 00:31:18,440
are so important, because they speak to his radicalized vision.

492
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:25,759
He had on one of the casings bella Chow Chow

493
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,039
Chow Chow had it several times because that is the

494
00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:35,799
refrain of an Italian folk song which translates to goodbye beautiful,

495
00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:41,519
and according to the AI Wizard, it is suing sorry.

496
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:45,279
It is sung in both the original mundane version, which

497
00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:47,440
dates back to the late nineteenth century and was sung

498
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,440
by female rice field workers in northern Italy protesting harsh

499
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,000
working conditions, and the later partisan version, which became associated

500
00:31:56,039 --> 00:32:00,599
with the Italian resistance movement during World War II. What

501
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:06,440
is the Italian resistance movement in World War two? The

502
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:11,720
anti fascists, the Antifa. That's why he carved it on

503
00:32:11,839 --> 00:32:17,559
the bullets. This is antifha related. And for people on

504
00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:19,640
the left who are saying, oh, but look, he was

505
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,440
raised by like some you know, gun Lovin Republicans and yeah,

506
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,599
and then he went to college. I don't think this

507
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,359
is making the case that you think it's making that

508
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,519
he came from a Republican household, spent one year at

509
00:32:32,519 --> 00:32:37,519
the college, and turned into an Antifa talk about indoctrination.

510
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,559
