We have very 17 00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:53,280 few details so far coming in on this. We're depending 18 00:00:53,320 --> 00:01:03,799 on witnesses out Okay Utah Valley University. And he was 19 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,799 speaking in front of a crowd and in that moment 20 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,319 and correct me if I'm wrong. He was speaking about 21 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,519 obviously trans issues in the country today when a shot 22 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,079 or shots rang out, And we can now confirm via 23 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,680 Jason Chafitz, who was at the event at Utah Valley University, 24 00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:25,599 that shots rang out as Charlie was talking about transgender 25 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:31,799 mass shootings. Per Jason Chafits, a witness there, says he 26 00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:36,959 can't say that he saw blood, but he saw him 27 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,040 get He can't say that also that he saw him 28 00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:41,840 get shot, but he did hear the gunshot ring out. 29 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:45,879 Speaker 7: He's also a controversial figure at times. He goes into 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,200 these various college campuses, pushes conservative issues, gets into back 31 00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:54,280 and heated back and forth often with these students on 32 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,239 these college campuses. But of course none of that is violent, 33 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:01,840 as you know. 34 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. By the way, it is the 35 00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:08,280 Wednesday edition of Buston's Rush Hour. Here Charlie Kirk has 36 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,280 been shot in the neck. There was blood, There was 37 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,199 lots of blood. There's a close up of the assassination attempt. 38 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,319 So far, it is an assassination attempt that is almost 39 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,919 too graphic to watch, but it is on the internet. 40 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,759 People have their cameras out, as they do in many 41 00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:38,719 many events, almost every event these days. Already that second 42 00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:43,919 cut we played from CNN. He's being called all sorts 43 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,680 of adjectives to describe him divisive, figuring that he's none 44 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,919 of that. He is a remarkable young man thirty one 45 00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:58,000 years old. And I met Charlie when he was in 46 00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:01,759 his twenties, when he was just starting out out Turning Point, USA. 47 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,800 And he was at one of his donors' houses in 48 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,319 the West Palm Beach area and I was invited over. 49 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:17,479 And also we had a film crew with us from 50 00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:20,199 Bispack Review at the time, and they did an interview 51 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:26,560 with him, and Charlie was just young and outstanding and amazing, 52 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,520 and Turning Point had not even grown to what it 53 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:35,719 has become now. It was in its infancy then Turning 54 00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:39,800 Point Charlie Kirk did what many people in the Republican 55 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,759 Party were afraid to do, to actually go to the 56 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:51,039 hot beds of liberalism, to college campuses and talk with 57 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:59,000 people and engage people to talk with him. He didn't 58 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,479 just do way stand on the stage and point his 59 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,159 finger and give a speech and leave. He and this 60 00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:10,759 is what he was doing today was it was you 61 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,400 could see the tent, the open area, despite all the 62 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,879 hatred directed him, and you can see this and that 63 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,839 this is not uncommon. Turning Point in USA now has millions, 64 00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:30,360 grew into an organization of started with hundreds and then thousands, 65 00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:34,279 and then tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands, 66 00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:38,920 and now millions of people are aware of it, if 67 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,399 not active members of it. And he grew that organization 68 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,959 and had events, has events around the country where he 69 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,920 brings I've spoken at Turning Point events in the past 70 00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,399 where he brings voices to speak. But Charlie himself goes 71 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:11,480 on campuses and speaks with people, not to them, with them, 72 00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:15,040 and you have seen, I have seen. The news doesn't 73 00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:19,079 cover it because it's not in their narrative. The outrage 74 00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:23,879 among leftist college kids who have done everything from turnover 75 00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:27,759 Turning Point tables on the campus to threaten them, to 76 00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:31,079 active violence against some of the kids that work and 77 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,600 young people that work with Turning Point. So violence with 78 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,920 members of Turning Point is nothing new. They have been 79 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,639 subjected to violence from leftists and it goes unreported because 80 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:52,879 it's not important in the liberal narrative. How violent so 81 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,680 many young leftists are who have the because their ideas 82 00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:02,240 are being challenged, and nothing more other than that, because 83 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:07,240 they think they have the right to express themselves and 84 00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:12,600 have their own ideas, but no one else has a 85 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:18,959 right to express contrary ideas. The latest word that we 86 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,160 have from Charlie. About Charlie is a little bit hopeful. 87 00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:26,600 I shared one of the more close up videos of 88 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,160 him being shot with a friend of mine and she 89 00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:31,399 immediately sent me back a text and said, oh my god, 90 00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:33,000 he's not going to make it. This is horrible. You 91 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:38,519 could just it is horrific, folks, It is horrific. New 92 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,000 York Times is saying and other news outlets that he 93 00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:45,360 was shot in the neck and you can imagine that 94 00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:49,759 the blood just poured out of his body. And I'm 95 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,839 sorry to be so graphic, but it did, and he 96 00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:56,519 of course had jerked back. It reminded any of us 97 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,160 who are old enough, old enough, it reminded us in 98 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:03,000 a way of the Kennedy. I don't even want to 99 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:11,519 talk about that, because poor Jacqueline Kennedy. That's still a scene, 100 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,600 an image that is just part of the consciousness that 101 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:21,319 will not ever go away during this lifetime. But there 102 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:27,079 are reports coming in that Charlie is still among the 103 00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:32,399 land of the living, that he was rushed, of course, 104 00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:37,319 to a trauma center, and supposedly right now some reports 105 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,839 are saying that he's taking blood transfusions because he did 106 00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:45,839 lose a lot of blood. He's in critical, very critical condition, 107 00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:57,279 but he is still here among us. A video shows 108 00:07:57,319 --> 00:08:03,079 him older man in hand on his knees. There are 109 00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:06,240 some people that have said they have identified the subject. 110 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,439 I'm not going to go with it. It's not been confirmed, 111 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:18,519 and I don't want to give any misinformation. Some Democrats 112 00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:24,720 in this country, like California Governor Garvin Newsom, who is 113 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,879 saying the attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, violent, reprehensible. 114 00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:34,320 Donald Trump, of course, has waded early asking for prayers 115 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,279 for Charlie Kirk, as the Vice President, J. D. Vance 116 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,279 and so many others. Mike Lee of Utah, this happened, 117 00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:43,320 as you know, as you heard in Utah. But of 118 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,519 course there are networks like MSNBC that to me don't 119 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,759 deserve to even stay on the air. And I don't 120 00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:53,519 know how they do. They have And I'll just say 121 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,679 that because cut twenty two Carlos of things that you're 122 00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,919 hearing like this. 123 00:09:01,919 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 8: In which a shooting like this happens. 124 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, again, emphasize what you just emphasize. 125 00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 9: We don't know any spoke details of this that we 126 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,120 don't know if this was the supporter or shooting their 127 00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:15,200 gun off in celebration or so we have no idea that. 128 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't know whether it's a shooting their gun 129 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:29,000 off in celebration. No, nobody was celebrating. Cut nineteen, cut nineteen, 130 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,120 that one two from MSNBC. 131 00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:36,279 Speaker 8: Yeah, we're showing by the way our affiliate in Utah 132 00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:39,720 and the aftermath of the shooting, you could see people 133 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,279 running away pretty quickly, as you would imagine they would 134 00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:48,639 do at gunshots. The FBI Director Cash Fattel has weighed 135 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,879 in on this. He just tweeted the following We're closely 136 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,600 monitoring reports of the tragic shooting involving Charlie Kirk at 137 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,360 Utah Valley University. Our thoughts are with Charlie, his loved ones, 138 00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:00,879 and everyone affected. Agents will be on the scene quickly, 139 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,000 and the FBI stands in full support of the ongoing 140 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:09,840 response and the investigation. Charlie Kirk is a divisive figure, polarizing, 141 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,879 lightning rob whatever term you want to use. 142 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:17,399 Speaker 9: Why Well, he's one of maga's most prominent voices online. 143 00:10:17,399 --> 00:10:21,279 He hosts a mere daily podcast. He opines on almost everything. 144 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,000 He's been very closely aligned with the President since his 145 00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:26,720 initial run for office in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen and 146 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,360 his ties to Trump really elevated his own brand. He 147 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,679 was really quite young as an activist when the President 148 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,279 launched his initial campaign, and he has kind of ridden 149 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,279 along with MAGA since twenty sixteen and built up a massive, 150 00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:44,200 massive brand of his own. His group has brought in 151 00:10:44,279 --> 00:10:45,440 tons and tons of money. 152 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,519 Speaker 1: Friends, we're getting some word who just has it now? 153 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,720 Just the news, just the news, John Solomon. Have we 154 00:10:56,799 --> 00:11:04,840 had it confirmed anywhere else? We're just looking. Okay, well, 155 00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:07,279 just keep me posted on this. I'm not going to 156 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,440 go with that yet until we have another confirmation, ladies 157 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:17,279 and gentlemen. There was also a story, a report on 158 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,919 PMSNBC saying that Trump was going to use this, He's 159 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:30,000 going to use this and how he's going to use it, 160 00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:38,840 which is just totally inappropriate. So anyway, that's where we 161 00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:41,360 are going to take a brief break.

But there are a lot 187 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:34,840 of also comments being made about Charlie on PMSNBC and 188 00:13:34,879 --> 00:13:40,799 some of the other networks, and these labels that are 189 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,159 put on Charlie Kirk by some of the commentators here. 190 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,080 I doubt whether many of these commentators have had the 191 00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:51,279 privilege of speaking with Charlie Kirk. I doubt whether any 192 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,240 of them listen to any of his broadcasts. Doubt whether 193 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:02,559 any of them have ever attended a TPUSA event, be 194 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,000 it an event with the students or one of the 195 00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:08,759 events with one of their fundraising events. I've attended both. 196 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:17,440 And Turning Point USA is about this. They're about the 197 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:27,159 America that many of us knew they are about. And 198 00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:33,840 what do I mean by that? I mean the America 199 00:14:36,759 --> 00:14:45,480 that was an optimistic view of this nation, an optimistic 200 00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:48,799 view of America, what it was and what it could be. 201 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,120 One of the things that I loved about going to 202 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:59,399 Turning Point events was you see all kinds of people. 203 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,320 You see kids, from young people, I don't want to 204 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,120 call them kids, young adults, from every walk of life 205 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:14,120 and strata in America. And I mean that. You know, 206 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,879 you can see some from the very privileged to the 207 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,600 not so privileged. You see the black, you see the white, 208 00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:28,000 you see the Hispanic, you see every This organization attracted 209 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:34,000 young people who wanted to feel like it was good 210 00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:39,559 to feel positive about the country that they lived in, 211 00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:42,120 and the country that they were going to become the 212 00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:51,639 future leaders and citizens of normalcy. These people were not 213 00:15:51,919 --> 00:15:57,600 angry and upset with the world for just being in America. 214 00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:03,399 They were grateful to be in America and patriotic and 215 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,759 this is I think one of the keys to why 216 00:16:05,919 --> 00:16:10,000 it grew so much. So. They leftist today calling Charlie 217 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,679 Kirk Oh, he's divisive. No, he was not divisive from 218 00:16:13,679 --> 00:16:21,759 that point of view, inclusive. What was divisive to them 219 00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:25,320 is that he was going against the liberal ideology, and 220 00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:33,039 anytime you do that, you are called divisive. It wasn't divisive. 221 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,240 James Goldan and isn't divisive. I'm not talking about him 222 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:45,399 in the past tense. He isn't divisive. We're coming back. 223 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,639 Don't go away. 224 00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 5: The Rush Hour with James Golden on the Red Apple 225 00:16:51,600 --> 00:17:05,960 Podcast Network. The Rush Hour with James Golden Entertaining and informative. 226 00:17:05,519 --> 00:17:07,559 Speaker 4: On the Red Apple Podcast Network. 227 00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:11,839 Speaker 1: All right, just let me bring you up to speed 228 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,200 with what's happening here. I'm not gonna go with some 229 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,839 news reports that are reporting very very sad news and 230 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,279 you can imagine what because I'm waiting for confirmation and 231 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:24,559 the latest confirmation I had from some of the other 232 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,079 news courses was that as of seven minutes ago, Charlie 233 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,759 was still in critical condition. There were other reports surfacing 234 00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:34,759 out there that that is not the case. I'm not 235 00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:38,400 going to go with those reports and make any call 236 00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:41,119 until we can be sure of what news here. But 237 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:46,440 this is of course a very very difficult, difficult day. 238 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:52,640 Kamala Harris, who was in the news herself today, Kamala 239 00:17:52,759 --> 00:17:57,079 released excerpts from her book are starting to come out, 240 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,799 and in one of them, Goodness Me, Amala Harris pretty 241 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,200 much calls a decision for Biden to continue staying in 242 00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:12,279 back in before he passes towards her reckless decision. So 243 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:18,720 she's kind of torched. Yes, I'm aware of aware those 244 00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:23,920 people are texting me. Yes, I'm aware of where those 245 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,000 sources are. But I'm not going to go with anything 246 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:36,200 until I have it totally confirmed by multiple sources period. Anyway, 247 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:41,000 Kamala Harris has decided that now she's going to torch 248 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:46,359 the bidens apparently and say it was reckless for Joe 249 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:52,359 Biden to stay in. Some of the elected officials in 250 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:58,240 the United States, how making comments on Charlie's Pete Boudajag, 251 00:18:58,279 --> 00:19:03,960 former Transportation secretary. Political violence must always be totally rejected. 252 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,680 Praying for him and all who may have been injured 253 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,519 or impacted. A lot of people are being impacted, and 254 00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:16,599 I'm not being critical of Pete buddhajet statements by saying, 255 00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:21,799 just Clara, it's yeah, so many people are impacted by this. 256 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,119 Mentioned to you, Gavin Newsom, the attack on Charlie Kirk 257 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,319 is discussing violent reprehensible in the United States of America. 258 00:19:29,839 --> 00:19:34,279 We must reject political violence in every form. Well, the 259 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,720 left has been having a frenzy ever since Donald Trump 260 00:19:37,799 --> 00:19:42,519 got in office. He survived, as you know, two assassination attempts, 261 00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:48,880 and there are calls urging for his death every single day. 262 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,839 In fact, it was just over a week ago that 263 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:57,640 Tim Walls, who ran for vice president, was making fun 264 00:19:57,839 --> 00:20:01,519 of a meme that was calling for Donald Trump's death 265 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,720 or this hoax that he had that Donald Trump had died, 266 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,359 and Tim Wilts was joking, although someday we'll get that 267 00:20:08,519 --> 00:20:20,400 new someday, someday, Ron DeSantis, the way to resolve political 268 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,119 disputes is not through violence. The way to do that 269 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,799 is to ask questions, debate an attack on the idea 270 00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:31,799 that we resolved these things through reasoned debate and elections. 271 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:42,119 Jd Vance, Dear God, protect Charlie in his darkest hour. 272 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:51,880 That was jd Vance is rarely prime. Minister Benjamin Netsunyahoo 273 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,720 has waited and says he's praying for Charlie Kirk. New 274 00:20:56,799 --> 00:21:01,000 York City Mery candidates around Mandamie horror by the shooting 275 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,319 of Charlie Kirk at a college you've in Utah. Political 276 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:11,119 violence has no place in our country, Pritzker. The attack 277 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,079 on Charlie Kirk is horrifying. Political violence has no place 278 00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:16,039 in this country and should never become the normal. I'm 279 00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:21,400 sending my sympathies to his family and friends at this time. 280 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:28,920 You notice there are lots of things that I notice 281 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,680 here that I'm just not going to say. I noticed 282 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,640 some of the things that are not being said as 283 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:45,200 many of you I'm sure notice as well. Whatever the 284 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:55,160 case may be with this folks, there have been there 285 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,160 has been, and I talked about this in the culture. 286 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:02,200 The culture that is part of social media in this 287 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:11,559 country is almost you have to if you are a 288 00:22:11,599 --> 00:22:14,960 participant in social media, if you're on it every day, 289 00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:17,640 there are some days when you really just want to 290 00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:21,079 rent off after you've been online, because it's just so 291 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,279 some of the things that you see are so vile. 292 00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:30,279 I talked about that very briefly earlier this week when 293 00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:34,359 people were commenting on the racial aspects that were coming 294 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:42,680 out after the horrific, horrific stabbing to death of Arena Zarutska. 295 00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:49,759 And yeah, there were some racist remarks, but no more 296 00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:53,079 than a comment on any other day in social media. 297 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,039 They're a violent remarks. In fact, we had lined up 298 00:22:58,039 --> 00:23:05,039 today others of what should happen with Chicago now that 299 00:23:05,079 --> 00:23:13,400 the federal government is in Chicago. There is violence and 300 00:23:13,599 --> 00:23:21,480 threats of violence all over social media, and then there's 301 00:23:21,519 --> 00:23:26,759 no attempt that I can see of reigning that in. 302 00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:34,480 Violence has become very much a part of the American 303 00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:38,640 political system, all of these politicians saying there's no place 304 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:45,000 for violence. There's no place for violence when you go 305 00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:51,799 on the college campuses of America if you are pro life. 306 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:58,799 We've seen the violence. The left won't acknowledge it. Those 307 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,359 people that are brave enough to go on, including many 308 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,240 of the Turning Point USA people college campuses around the 309 00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:13,319 country with their brochures, with their and I don't say 310 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:19,119 this in a demeaning term propaganda with their story, with 311 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:24,759 their messages. They've been subjected to for years, having their 312 00:24:24,799 --> 00:24:30,960 tables overturned, having people try to punch them out because 313 00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:38,680 they dare speak the truth about these issues from either 314 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,400 a religious, spiritual perspective or from their own perspectives to 315 00:24:43,759 --> 00:24:47,880 express their opinions. Violence has long been a part of 316 00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:53,640 political speech in America. If you are on the right 317 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:59,319 side of these issues, if you are on quote unquote 318 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:05,240 the right wing side of these issues, quote, violence has 319 00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:13,119 been acceptable if you are in Portland, Oregon, and you 320 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,880 are considered Just recently, a conservative reporter was beaten up 321 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,799 up in Portland, surrounded by a group of Antifa. It's 322 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,039 all over this social media news. It never made it 323 00:25:26,079 --> 00:25:28,920 to mainstream media news because it's ignored. That kind of 324 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:34,000 violence is ignored by them. Antifa has been committing violence 325 00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:40,440 since the nineteen nineties. If you go back, you can 326 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,279 see when a lot of this started was in Seattle 327 00:25:44,519 --> 00:25:49,279 nineteen ninety eight ninety nine, the wt the World Trade Organization, 328 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:54,440 came and these leftists tore that city up, and that 329 00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:01,400 was the beginning of this wave of Antifa, this wave 330 00:26:01,839 --> 00:26:11,319 of violence, and it has never ceased. Portland has been 331 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:20,759 under attack now political violence for over two years, and 332 00:26:20,839 --> 00:26:24,359 not even the federal government under Trump has dared so 333 00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:28,720 far to go in and clean out that rat's nest 334 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:37,960 of political violence. The same people that are today telling 335 00:26:38,039 --> 00:26:42,759 us that violence has no place in America, America's political system. 336 00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:48,960 I just want to remind you. Last week we heard 337 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,400 from Brandon Johnson who was standing in front of a crowd, 338 00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:57,680 the mayor of Chicago, demanding that the residents of Chicago 339 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:04,200 defend their life. And he was doing everything in a 340 00:27:04,279 --> 00:27:09,359 manner of speaking as calling for political violence against ice, 341 00:27:09,759 --> 00:27:15,039 against the federal government. Michelle wou and Boston uses the 342 00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:20,960 same kind of rhetoric. Karen Bass uses the same kind 343 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:35,839 of rhetoric. So Donald Trump has not posted it. Donald Trump, 344 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,319 ladies and gentlemen, and we're looking to confirm this. Donald 345 00:27:38,319 --> 00:27:44,039 Trump has posted. What we've been telling you, what I haven't. 346 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,440 I haven't been telling, but I've been alluding to.

Doctor Michelas has just texted me as well. 367 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,319 He said, severing the internal chartic artery has a very 368 00:29:40,359 --> 00:29:46,960 high mortality rate, so the way that the blood shot 369 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,720 out of him means it was a direct hit to 370 00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:59,519 the chartic artery is just not survivable. This is perhaps, 371 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:05,000 I don't know, folks. It is devastating that's the word 372 00:30:05,079 --> 00:30:12,160 that so many people are using. Devastating, heartbreaking, there's some 373 00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:19,599 anger one that this is one comment that I just 374 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:25,839 read is that a friend of mine who said, we're 375 00:30:25,839 --> 00:30:33,000 in a civil war and this is just one of 376 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:41,039 the latest blows in that civil war. What an awful 377 00:30:41,079 --> 00:30:43,960 time in America is another one. It's just hitting people 378 00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:47,319 so very hard because Charlie was so young, is so young, 379 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:53,720 thirty one years old. And look what he accomplished. Charlie 380 00:30:53,839 --> 00:30:58,720 Cook did for the right. What we have seen very 381 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:07,920 few people that have organized an entire movement without being 382 00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:11,720 a part of the internal political process. He was an 383 00:31:11,799 --> 00:31:19,480 outsider when he began a kid in his twenties, going 384 00:31:19,559 --> 00:31:23,759 on college campuses, talking to students and built that. And 385 00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:25,799 one of the things that I think for everyone that 386 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,799 is mourning Charlie Kirk and I am one of them, 387 00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:36,480 I think we should want to see Turning Point continue 388 00:31:36,519 --> 00:31:41,000 their work as legacy to Charlie and other young people 389 00:31:41,079 --> 00:31:44,559 step up. When you have a people, when you have 390 00:31:44,599 --> 00:31:48,359 a person that has so much charisma, so much knowledge, 391 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:55,839 so much still you know, I talked to Charlie and 392 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,960 I will just tell you and I can't even tell 393 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,519 you how disappointed. I am. I told Charlie a long 394 00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:06,200 time ago, and I remember going in and talking to 395 00:32:06,279 --> 00:32:08,880 Rush about Charlie. I said to him, Rush, you got 396 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,039 I just told him there's this kid out here that 397 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,960 is just doing and Russia heard about it from him 398 00:32:17,039 --> 00:32:19,319 from someone else, as he told me. You know, someone 399 00:32:19,359 --> 00:32:21,960 else mentioned him to me too. I said, this kid 400 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,559 out here, Charlie Kirk, you gotta this kid is doing 401 00:32:24,599 --> 00:32:30,519 amazing work. And Rush had told me then that one 402 00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:33,440 of his other friends had told him about Charlie Kirk. 403 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,960 Wasn't soon after that that he met Charlie. But one 404 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,079 of the things that I said to Russian, now remember it. 405 00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:41,799 I said, Rush, this kid has potential to be president 406 00:32:41,839 --> 00:32:46,440 one day of the United States. He's young, he's bright, 407 00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:49,680 he's in his twenties, but he's already got this skill 408 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,119 at organizing people and being able to frame it. And 409 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,960 look at all the work that he's done on so 410 00:32:56,119 --> 00:33:00,640 many campuses, and now he has been cut down in 411 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:08,440 his youth. I suppose that we will all wait and 412 00:33:08,599 --> 00:33:17,000 hear what the quote unquote motive of this person was 413 00:33:17,079 --> 00:33:24,119 that took Charlie's life. Doesn't matter. The act of evil 414 00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:31,759 has been done, and Charlie Kirk has been taken from us, 415 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:38,240 from this world, from his organization, from his family, from 416 00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:43,440 his friends, from everything that he worked for, because someone 417 00:33:43,799 --> 00:33:52,240 did not want his voice to be heard. So the 418 00:33:52,319 --> 00:33:57,240 thing to respond is to make sure that Charlie's voice 419 00:33:57,359 --> 00:34:03,240 is heard, to make sure that Charlie is not forgotten, 420 00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:19,280 that this organization that he founded continues. But we should 421 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:26,360 also have a sense of gratitude that Charlie Kirk lived 422 00:34:27,039 --> 00:34:31,480 in these times and was able to accomplish so much. 423 00:34:37,079 --> 00:34:43,320 What a sad day in America. And yes, your thoughts, 424 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:51,679 your prayers to the family of Charlie Kirk.
