Shamiga Michelle will bring us the 9 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 2: day's top headlines, including the guilty verdict of would be 10 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: Trump assassin Ryan Ruth, and later in the hour, we 11 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: travel to the Charlie Kirk Memorial at Turning Point USA 12 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 2: headquarters to speak to Christian preacher Andrew Cedra, whose Australian 13 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: church has seen a big jump in attendance after Charlie's murder. 14 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: And we take to the streets to talk to some 15 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 2: lefty's using it in the wild. Apparently Charlie Kirk was 16 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,199 Speaker 2: a terrible racist. 17 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 3: That wanted me dead. 18 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 4: Everybody that wasn't a white Christian dead. 19 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: Charlie wanted everyone who wasn't a white Christian dead. So 20 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk would have wanted me dead because I'm neither 21 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: white or Christian. 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 4: Absolutely joining me now is. 23 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: The author of international best sellers, including his latest on 24 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 2: democracies and death cults. Douglas Murray, I'm interested in your 25 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: thoughts on the significance of Charlie Kirk's legacy to American 26 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 2: political life and the wider culture. But let's start with 27 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: the UN and President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations 28 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 2: General Assembly earlier today, and he criticized European allies over 29 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: everything from green energy obsessions to immigration policies, and the 30 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: UN itself didn't escape scrutiny either. 31 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 5: What is the purpose of the United Nations? The UN 32 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 5: has such tremendous potential, it's empty words, and empty words 33 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 5: don't solve war. The only thing that solves war and 34 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 5: wars is action. 35 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: Douglas, have you also wondered what is the point of 36 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: the UN? 37 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 6: Well, many people have wondered about that for many decades. 38 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 6: Now it's some forty years ago, so since the American 39 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 6: ambassadors have said very similar things. The problem for the 40 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 6: UN has always been that the number of democracies in 41 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 6: the world show up, they tend to get castigated by 42 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 6: the non democracies in the world, the free countries get 43 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 6: ambassad by unfree countries, and everyone has to pretend that, say, 44 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 6: you know, an elected leader in a democracy is on 45 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 6: an even pegging with some thuggish dictator from somewhere else 46 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 6: in the world, and of course, you know, that's a 47 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 6: sort of nicety. Unfortunately, a lot of people fall into 48 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 6: the trap of believing that as a result, the UN 49 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 6: is what it says it is and is the sort 50 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 6: of ultimate court of the world. And you know, whilst 51 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 6: some things can be hashed out there, I have always 52 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 6: thought that it is important that democratically elected leaders of 53 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 6: countries like the US do things like Trump did today 54 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 6: and call out the UN's failings. Otherwise it's just a 55 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 6: sort of talking shop for demogogues and dictators to launder 56 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 6: their reputations. In New York. 57 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: City now, the President had this to say about mass migration, 58 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: including illegal immigration and economic migrants seeking asylum. 59 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 5: Proud nations must be allowed to protect their communities and 60 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 5: prevent their societies from being overwhelmed by people they have 61 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 5: never seen before, with different customs, religions, with different everything. 62 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 5: Where migrants are violated law, large false asylum claims or 63 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 5: claimed refugee status, Douglas. 64 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: He's talking about essentially what you wrote about so many 65 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: years ago, the Strange Death of Europe. 66 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 6: Yes, a book which is of course not just about Europe, 67 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 6: but about America, Canada, Australia, all the Western liberal democracies, 68 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 6: all of which have had more than a generation of 69 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 6: insane immigration policies, and which have just not been able 70 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 6: to wrestle their way out of the problem that generations 71 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 6: actually of politicians have got us into. Of all political parties, 72 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 6: what Trump said is completely true, and of course we'll 73 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 6: go down like a couple cold sick with almost all 74 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 6: of his allies, because you know, governments like those in 75 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 6: Australia and Britain and so on do this thing of 76 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 6: like talking endlessly about our openness and our diversity and 77 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 6: so on. And Trump made one of the observations that yes, 78 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 6: I mean, I've made for many years, which is, why 79 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 6: is it only the Western democracies that have to undergo this? 80 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 6: Why is it that we're not allowed to defend our 81 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 6: own borders. Why are we not allowed to have our 82 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 6: own customs and culture, but instead only define ourselves by 83 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 6: our diversity and much more. And as you and I 84 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 6: have said before Rita. One of the historic things which 85 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 6: Trump is showing, and if he can pull it off 86 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 6: with Home and others, then it'll be really seismic, is 87 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 6: to show that the illegal migration and the dissolution of 88 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 6: Western cultures is not inevitable. That you can actually have 89 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 6: an orderly migration policy. You can have borders, you can 90 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 6: defend those borders, you can have laws, you can have 91 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 6: asylum policies, but you can have none of those things 92 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 6: if you've decided that basically anyone who walks into your 93 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 6: country illegally has the right to stay and enjoy all 94 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 6: the benefits of being in these countries, despite in most 95 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 6: cases not having contributed anything to them and not being 96 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 6: likely to contribute anything meaningful to them either. Yes, what 97 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 6: he said was completely true, and doubtless, as I say, 98 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 6: all of his allies will abhor his comments and think 99 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 6: how incredibly backward President Trump is to voice such sentiments. 100 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 6: Whereas an actual fact in the rotation the politics can 101 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 6: often be the rotating game, the politics can often be 102 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 6: maybe Donald Trump is the voice from the future. 103 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: On all this, and finally, on President Trump's You and Address, 104 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 2: he blasted countries including France Britain Australia for recognizing Palestine. 105 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: He said Douglas, that effectively rewards the terrorism we saw 106 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 2: on October seven. 107 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, he's completely right about that. Hamas has of 108 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,119 Speaker 6: course already thanked Keir Starmer and others for saying that 109 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 6: they recognize a state of Palestine. It's pure posturing by 110 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 6: alban As, Carnie Starmer, macron As As I've said to 111 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 6: you before, Retai. After all, I mean, I think the 112 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 6: era where heads of state in Britain and France and 113 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 6: so on can create and carve out states in far 114 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 6: off continence is over. I think most people, particularly from 115 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 6: the political left, were rather pleased that's over. These are 116 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 6: unilateral declarations of recognition of statehood are totally meaningless for 117 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 6: a whole pile of reasons. But just to list some 118 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 6: of them in short order, there is no agreed state 119 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 6: of Palestine. There is no agreed Palestinian leadership. There are 120 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 6: no agreed borders, there are no agreed there's no agreed capital, 121 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 6: there's no agreement on what land swaps or anything else 122 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 6: would look like. And there's no evidence from what Palestinian 123 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 6: leadership exists, whether in Gaza with the remains of Hamas, 124 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 6: or with Judean Samaria, with the Palestinian authority. There's no 125 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 6: evidence at all that they're remotely willing to live in 126 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 6: peace with their neighbors. And of course Hamas see this 127 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 6: as a victory. They invaded Israel almost two years ago 128 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 6: and massacred and raped and kidnapped their way across the South, 129 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 6: and within under two years, all of these Western governments 130 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 6: that said they would stand with the victims, they would 131 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 6: stand with Israel, they would demand the release of the 132 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 6: hostages have done next to nothing to get the hostages out, 133 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 6: done next to nothing to stop Hamaz for the last 134 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 6: twenty or more years, and instead now have given this 135 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 6: unilateral declaration which simply rewards the terrorists. And they could 136 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 6: have at least could have at least said, we are 137 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 6: not even going to think about recognizing a so called 138 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 6: Palestinian state until every hostage that Hamaz stole is taken 139 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 6: from where they're being held and returned to their families, 140 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 6: and until that nothing, They couldn't even hold that line. 141 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 6: So we've all seen who they are, these Macrons and 142 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 6: Albaneses and things. And the final thing to say on 143 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 6: that is Marco Rubio E, the Secretary of State, was 144 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 6: completely right when he said in the aftermath of President 145 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 6: Trump's address. He was completely right, Rubio when he said, 146 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 6: all these leaders Australia, Canada, Britain, France, they're not doing 147 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 6: this because they can create a Palestinian state. They can't. 148 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 6: They're doing it for domestic political reasons, because people like 149 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 6: Albaneza think that they can stop the protests and modify 150 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 6: the radical Palestinianists in their own countries if they do this, 151 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 6: you know what, they can't. But look at the lesson 152 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 6: that Italy has showed us. Georgia. Maloney didn't join in 153 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 6: this idiotic and hollows stampede, and there were riots yesterday 154 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 6: in Milan as a result, with crowds of immigrants and 155 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 6: Palestinianist activist far left is smashing up shops in Milan 156 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 6: because Maloney wouldn't do this Boloney act of pretending that 157 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 6: she can create a Palestinian state. So that's all that 158 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 6: these other Western leaders have done. They've done it to 159 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 6: mollify the mobs at home. And well maybe they think 160 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 6: they'll buy themselves peace for a few minutes, but I 161 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 6: wouldn't bet on it. 162 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 3: Now Douglas. 163 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 2: We're coming to you from Charlie Kirk's beloved Phoenix, where 164 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 2: he were headquartered Turning Point, USA, and where his funeral 165 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: was held on at Sunday. It was an incredible event 166 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 2: on so many levels. How did you say the memorial 167 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: and what do you say as Charlie's lasting legacy. 168 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 6: Well, I think it's really the beginning of that legacy. 169 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 6: A number of the speakers at the memorial on Sunday 170 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 6: in Phoenix made reference to the fact that, you know, 171 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 6: the assassin who killed Charlie thought that he was going 172 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 6: to silence him, and it's exactly the opposite. He's given 173 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 6: Charlie's voice a wider range than it ever could have 174 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 6: had in his lifetime. It's an extraordinary thing and a 175 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 6: demonstration that people who use violence to pursue political means should, 176 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 6: among many other things, apart from the fact that it's evil, 177 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 6: not do that because the consequences may well be ones 178 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 6: that they cannot foresee. I thought it was extremely moving. 179 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 6: It was a remarkable demonstration of solidarity and support from 180 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 6: tens of thousands of people, of course, dominated by Charlie 181 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 6: Kirk's widow, Erica, and her remarkable speech but I also 182 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 6: think Rita, you've noticed as well that really one of 183 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 6: the striking things was the prominence of the Christian message 184 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 6: at the heart of it all. Many of us are 185 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 6: used to sort of watered down forms of Christianity, particularly 186 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 6: in the Western democracies, and this wasn't that. It was 187 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 6: literally preaching of the Gospel by you know, Secretary of 188 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 6: War Pete Hegsbert, by Sector of State, Mark Arubia and others. 189 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 6: And I think I think that that legacy is going 190 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 6: to be one of the most powerful that Charlie Kirk 191 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 6: has not just left behind but started. 192 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: Do you say that. 193 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: As important in biting back for Western values and reaffirming 194 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 2: those Judeo Christian values, Well. 195 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 6: You know, it's something I wrote about a lot in 196 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 6: The Strange Death of Europe a decade ago, as you mentioned, 197 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 6: which is that we are in a complicated place in 198 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 6: the history of the West because what we enjoy in 199 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 6: our rights and our liberties and much more or come 200 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 6: from our Judeo Christian roots. There's no doubt about that, 201 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 6: and anyone who says otherwise is simply trying to retrofit 202 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 6: a multicultural model onto our societies, our liberties, and our 203 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 6: rights and much more. Our freedoms come from a very 204 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 6: specific and unusual in many ways religious theological tradition. And 205 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 6: the question, as the form of Pope Benedict then Cardinal 206 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 6: Ratzinger pointed out, was whether or not Western civilization can 207 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 6: survive if it cuts itself off from the roots that 208 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 6: gave it birth. That's a question which many people have 209 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 6: mild over in recent years, and in some ways it's 210 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 6: been answered, which is no, that if you completely cut 211 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 6: yourself off from your religious roots in the Judeo Christian West, 212 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 6: you end up with weird, new wacko religions being founded, 213 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 6: whether it's Palestinianism or transgenderism or all of these. Look 214 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 6: at mihisms, and you just sort of create this vacuum 215 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 6: into which strange new heresies and beliefs wonder So, it's 216 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 6: an open question in the West whether there is another 217 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 6: way or whether the way back is the one that 218 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 6: Pope Benedict talked about, the one that Charlie Kirk obviously 219 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 6: believed in, which is that the West should return to 220 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 6: its roots. That's a very complicated issue for society, but 221 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 6: it's certainly one that we should think about and engage in, 222 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 6: and that is a challenge for everyone, I think, believers, 223 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 6: non believers alike, which is whether or not we can 224 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 6: recognize the source that has given us what is good 225 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 6: in our societies, or whether we just repudiate it, reject 226 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 6: it and see where the winds blow us. 227 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: Beautifully said, now, you wrote about the violence we are 228 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 2: seeing in the US from elements of the left. To 229 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 2: do you argue you have a history of celebrating or 230 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: excusing those guilty of these acts of political violence, and 231 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: on that, we've also had President Trump designating Antifa as 232 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 2: a terrorist organization. 233 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 3: I know you're worried about that. Also for the New 234 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 3: York Post. 235 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: Do you think Antifa deserved to be labeled terrorists? And 236 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 2: please just expand on what you're talking about. As far 237 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 2: as elements of the left having a very permissive attitude 238 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 2: to violence, well, I. 239 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 6: Would play it any other way around that if there 240 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 6: was a group, whether organized at a normal structural level 241 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 6: or a sort of slightly more amorphous blob of entities 242 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 6: across the country, If there was such a movement that 243 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 6: came from the political right, which for instance, had spent 244 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 6: years smashing up federal buildings and privately owned businesses, which 245 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 6: has spent years firing guns on the streets, attacking police officers, 246 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 6: attacking journalists, and hospitalizing almost killing journalists who look into 247 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 6: their activities. I think that this thing would have been 248 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 6: shut down years ago, and Antifa has been allowed to 249 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 6: run because too many people have taken it at its 250 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 6: word that it is an anti fascist organization. It isn't. 251 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 6: It's a fascist organization. You can tell literally from the 252 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 6: way they behave. They dress up in black, they mask 253 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 6: their faces, and they beat their opponents to a pulp 254 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 6: on the ground in American cities. I think that there's 255 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 6: a question as to whether or not Donald Trump whether 256 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 6: in America you could designate the ma terist organization. But 257 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 6: the one thing you can absolutely do is use the 258 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 6: powers of the state to arrest people who are routinely 259 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 6: breaking the law and making life unlivable in the American 260 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 6: cities which they dominate in places like Portland, places in 261 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 6: recent years like Seattle and parts of California and elsewhere. 262 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 6: It's a very big challenge, but it's one that I've 263 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 6: think the Trump administration should rise itself for the moment on. 264 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 6: As for the wider pool areta, it's just very striking 265 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 6: to me and as I said in that City Journal piece, again, 266 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 6: you've just got to play it the other way around. 267 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 6: There are people who engage in political violence all sides. 268 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 6: But I think it would be surprising if somebody, for instance, 269 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 6: involved in terrorism, right wing terrorism, would find themselves lauded 270 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 6: on American campuses and given births and speaking appointments and 271 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 6: much more. And I mentioned they're in passing Angela Davis 272 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 6: and her own history of radicalism, and she was just 273 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 6: honored by Cambridge University in England with an honorary degree. 274 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 6: And this is somebody with a puterid record in activism, 275 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 6: a disgusting record in activism, and no distinction in academic thought. 276 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 6: But she gets honored same things with people like Leila Khalid, 277 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 6: the PFLP hijacker. These people that the left has on 278 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 6: unfortunately particularly venerated, are people who've been venerated not in 279 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 6: spite of having a history of violence and connections with violence, 280 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 6: but as if that free sort of violence is part 281 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 6: of the thrill, part of the reason to promote them. 282 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 6: And I think that just as I would expect the 283 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 6: right to have a look at itself if it was 284 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 6: marinating in those waters. So I think the left really should, 285 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 6: and asgain, especially after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, really 286 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 6: should look at what it has been encouraging on its 287 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 6: own side, and it should remember that instead of thinking 288 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 6: that it's always the good guy, let's at least concede 289 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 6: that violence can come from all sides, but if it 290 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 6: comes from your side, you have a disproportionate necessity to 291 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 6: condemn it and to make sure that the gray zone 292 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 6: of violence isn't one that our societies are allowed to 293 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 6: exist in, but that we have a hard no, the 294 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 6: hard no against political assassination, whoever is the target, a 295 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 6: hard no against the pursuit of violence in politics, whatever 296 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 6: the aim that's being pursued. If we could do that, 297 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 6: Left and right could show us a degree of hygiene 298 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 6: on their own sides, then some good can come out 299 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 6: of these terrible circumstances. 300 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: Douglas Murray, thank you, very time still to come Left. 301 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 2: He's losing it out in the wild plaster Day's top headlines, 302 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: including the guilty verdict of Trump's would be assassin Ryan 303 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 2: Ruth Shamika Michelle is Upmets. You're watching the Reader Panney Show, 304 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 2: and it's time for lefties losing it, and I regret 305 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: to inform you that she's back. Yes, the world's worst 306 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 2: vice president. The word salad, a specialist who makes an 307 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 2: art form of being incoherent, the inect. 308 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,120 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris is back. 309 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 2: And she's hitting the Lopius leftist programs to flog her 310 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 2: new book. Here she is with fellow lefty losing at 311 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: Hall of Famer Rachel Madda, making outrageous idiotic claims. I 312 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 2: can only hope she was drunk when she said this 313 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 2: a tyrant. 314 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 7: We used to compare the strength of our democracy to 315 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 7: communist dictators. That's what we're dealing with right now. Donald 316 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 7: Trump and these titans of industry are not speaking up. 317 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 3: Yes, you heard that right. 318 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: Kamala called President Trump a communist, Yes, a communist, and 319 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 2: she goes from slamming the president for being a communist 320 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 2: dictator to praising an actual communist and endorsing him. This 321 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: is what she said about New York meryal hopeful and 322 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 2: radical hard leftist Zorain Mandani. 323 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 8: What do you think of him and his candidacy and 324 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 8: what do you think of mainline democratic shyness and agitation 325 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 8: about the prospect that he's going to win? 326 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 7: Look, as far as I'm concerned, he's the Democratic nominee. 327 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 3: He should be supported. 328 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: Do you endorse his candidacy? 329 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 7: I support the Democrat in the race. 330 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 6: Sure. 331 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 2: Look if he thought Kamala had acquired some wisdom, some class, 332 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 2: some perspective and the months since she was resoundingly beaten 333 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 2: by President Trump, well you'd be disappointed. 334 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 3: All she revealed overnight is that she's a frightful bigot. 335 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 3: But it's not her fault. 336 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 2: It's everybody else's fault. Here, she explains why she did 337 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 2: not select her first choice for a running mate, Pete Budajeg, 338 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: because he's gay. 339 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 7: To be a black woman running for president of the 340 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 7: United States and as a vice presidential running mate a 341 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 7: gay man, with the stakes being so high, it made 342 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 7: me very sad. But I also realized it would be 343 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 7: a real risk, no matter how you know, I've been 344 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 7: an advocate and an ally of the LGBT community my 345 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 7: entire life. 346 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 3: So it wasn't it about it. 347 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 7: It wasn't about it rate, So it wasn't about any 348 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 7: prejudice on my pope. 349 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 2: Of course, you are a great ally, Kamala, except you 350 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 2: didn't pick pick Pete because he's gay and you didn't 351 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: pick Governor Shapiro because he's Jewish. 352 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 3: I think we have a name for that. 353 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 2: It just goes to show that even Kamala Harris thinks 354 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 2: potential Democrat voters are frightful bigots. Now, let's hear from 355 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 2: Kamala trying to paint a landslide loss as close, so. 356 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 7: Close, And it ended up being the closest presidential election 357 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 7: in the twenty first century. 358 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 2: Poor delusional soul thinks it was close. She lost every 359 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 2: swing stage, she lost the popular vote, she lost the 360 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 2: Electoral College by a huge margin. But don't expect Rachel 361 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 2: Matter to pull Kamala up on her delusion. And it 362 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 2: didn't get much better. When Kamala sat down with the 363 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 2: ladies of the View, she repeated that pitiful line about 364 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 2: the supposed closeness of the election. She seemed to have 365 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 2: enjoyed a couple more cocktails. 366 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 7: This person and what we just saw in terms of 367 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 7: a presentation at the United Nations. You know I talk about. 368 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 3: Talked about remembering the debate. 369 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 7: They laughed at him the last time he was in 370 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 7: front of the UN. This individual who occupies our White 371 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 7: House right now, the. 372 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 3: People's House, has decided that he will. 373 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 7: Be an emperor in his mind who will demonstrate his 374 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 7: power by demeaning and belittling and making people feel small. 375 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 3: So Trump has. 376 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 2: Gone from being a communist dictator to being an emperor, 377 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 2: and Kamala has gone from happy hours straight to the 378 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 2: view it seems. Now let's go from the ridiculous to 379 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 2: the demonic. This is just so ugly and wrong. Imagine 380 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 2: how rotten your soul must be. 381 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 3: To do this. 382 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 9: Father, forgive them for they not know what they do. 383 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:34,959 Speaker 9: That man, that young man, I forgive him. 384 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 3: Just demonic. 385 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 2: Now let's hear from a left to you who thinks 386 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 2: she's being awfully clever, but actually she's kicking and iron goal. 387 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 8: You know you're a fascist when you demand law and 388 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 8: order unless the law is and that's getting your favorite politicians. 389 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 8: You know you're a fascist when you want to lock 390 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 8: up opponents but pardon your own criminals.

You know you're 399 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 8: a fascist when you wrap yourself in the flag while 400 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 8: dismantling the democracy it stands for. You know you're a 401 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 8: fascist when you believe one man's power is more important 402 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 8: than everyone's freedom. But yeah, tell me how the live 403 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 8: turns are destroying this country. 404 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: You know, it's almost cruel to laugh at someone that thick, 405 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 2: But what else can you do? 406 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 3: Now? 407 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 2: In honor of Charlie Kirk, I thought I'd go out 408 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 2: and talk to the hard left, talk to ideological opponents, 409 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 2: and see if we can have fruitful dialogue. Let's have 410 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 2: a look at a little of what happened earlier today 411 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 2: on the streets of Phoenix, Arizona. It started with nonsense 412 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 2: about dictatorships and American citizens being deported, and then it 413 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 2: got considerably worse. 414 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 10: They could literally pick me off the street and say 415 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 10: you're not an American, come with us and ship me away. 416 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 10: I am an American, but how would I prove that 417 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 10: without a court of law? 418 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 2: Are you suggesting that American citizens are being deported? 419 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 10: I'm saying we're next on the list, and they've said that. 420 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 10: The administration has said we're going to go after some 421 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 10: of the homegrown ones we have here too. 422 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 3: What do you mean by homegrowing when. 423 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 10: They were talking about terrorists and criminals that are imported, 424 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 10: which is all, you know, frankly false. But the administration 425 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 10: has stated that they are going to go after the 426 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 10: bad ones in America right here, born and raised Americans 427 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 10: who do not behave the way their current Republican regime 428 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 10: wants them to. They have discussed the options of kicking 429 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 10: us out to I'm not exactly sure where. 430 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: Now. 431 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 2: Let's hear this Democrat just casually engage in sight democracy denial. 432 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 10: Well, there is no mandate because while you it sounds 433 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 10: like and looks like the majority people went to him, 434 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 10: that's not true. 435 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,959 Speaker 4: Most people didn't vote. 436 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 2: If in the midterms, the Republicans hold on to the 437 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 2: House and the Senate, will you give up this fight 438 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 2: we acknowledge that the people aren't on your side and 439 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 2: you don't have the numbers. 440 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 10: That's a loaded question because right now, what I think 441 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 10: is happening is the administration is doing everything they can 442 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 10: to influence that vote and to stop truly free and 443 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 10: fair elections. 444 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 2: So they're already trying to delegitimize the midterms. Next we 445 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 2: discuss Charlie Kirk, and that's when this discussion really went 446 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: off the rails. 447 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 10: People can worship whoever they want to, and if you 448 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 10: want to worship a hatemonger, knock yourselves out. 449 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 3: You saw Charlie Kirk as a hatemonger. 450 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 4: I saw Charlie Kirk because he was a hatemonger. 451 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 3: Can you just explain why you say that? 452 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 10: Oh, there's like seventeen lover we quotes of Charlie Kirk 453 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 10: talking about how black people shouldn't are qualified to do 454 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 10: their jobs, how women should live at home inside, and 455 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 10: inciting his people to actual violence, go out and exercise 456 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 10: your rights that he will say two, and let's go 457 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 10: put some hurt on people. 458 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he never said black people unqualified. He 459 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 2: said he didn't believe in de policies. That's not exactly 460 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 2: the same thing. In fact, it was saying, if you 461 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 2: see a black pilot, you would imagine you would start 462 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: thinking are. 463 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 3: They there because of DEI policies? 464 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 2: And that actually undermines those who get their own merit. 465 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 2: So that is a DEI argument, not an anti black argument. 466 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 4: No, No, you're incorrect about that. 467 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 10: It is an anti black statement because the only way possible, 468 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 10: in Charlie Kirk's mind for a non white person to 469 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 10: get a job is for other sorts of programs, which 470 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 10: is absolute garbage. 471 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 2: No, he never said that. I've listened to what he 472 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 2: said in that quote, because that quote's gone viral, and 473 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: he was very clear that black peopleeople don't need DEI 474 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 2: because they can become pilots or doctors or engineers whatever. 475 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 3: In their own right on merit. 476 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,959 Speaker 2: They don't need those programs to undermine their achievement. So 477 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 2: when they actually make it, people wonder how they got there. 478 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 2: You don't see the merit of at least that argument, 479 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 2: even if you don't agree with it. 480 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 10: Well, that's not the argument Charlick Crook made, and you're 481 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 10: trying to whitewash it, just like American media. 482 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 4: You've learned your lesson as well. 483 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 2: Did you think I'm whitewashing precisely what he said in 484 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 2: the context he said it, Well, he said. 485 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 4: In the context that he said, I've watched I've watched 486 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 4: the video quite a few of them. 487 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 2: You characterized it as he thinks black people can't achieve 488 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 2: anything when obviously. 489 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 3: That's not what he said. 490 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 4: No, that is obviously what he said. That's correct. 491 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 2: Well, do you think maybe that's your own bigotry informing 492 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: your thoughts because that's not what he said. His words 493 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 2: are clear. You can read the entire transcript, or you 494 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: can watch the video. 495 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, watch the video, like, okay, let's go to the type. 496 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 11: I'll tell you exactly what I said and why I 497 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 11: said it. Okay, I said, if so, when you see 498 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 11: a black pilot, you wonder, boy, is that person there 499 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 11: because they earned it or because they were placed there? 500 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 11: That's what DEI does. It makes you ask questions you 501 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 11: otherwise would not ask. 502 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 2: But apparently our lefty losing it new Charlie's mind better 503 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 2: than Charlie, and he's not about patronizing a woman of color. 504 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 2: I mean, these lefties can't even play by their own 505 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 2: stupid rules. 506 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 3: What context did he say that? 507 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 10: Do we need to contextualize racist behavior? Is an interesting thing? 508 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 3: I would have said. DEI is racialist behavior. 509 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 2: So yeah, if you're talking about DEI and the impact 510 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 2: it has on society, I would imagine, yes, you do 511 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 2: need to talk about that. 512 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 10: I think diversity, you know, inclusion, equality are certain things 513 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 10: that we should have. 514 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 4: Why are you against them? 515 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 3: Why am I against DEI? 516 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 2: Diversity equity inclusion, which one specifically, I'm against the entire 517 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 2: d ideology because I don't believe as a woman of color, 518 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 2: I need to have standards lowered so I can achieve anything. 519 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 2: And I would never want someone to look at me 520 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 2: and say, did she get there through DEI, which is 521 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 2: what he was talking about. As far as the black pilots. 522 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 10: Go, you're implying a lot of contexts that he did 523 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 10: not have in there. 524 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 2: But Charlie was pretty expansive in his context. 525 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 10: Yeah, racist, hateful, all of that stuff. Yeah, expense we 526 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 10: want to basically everybody that wasn't a white Christian dead. 527 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 2: Charlie wanted everyone who wasn't a white Christian dead. So 528 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk would have wanted me dead because I'm neither 529 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 2: white or Christian. 530 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 10: Absolutely, So it's really odd for me that you're carrying 531 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 10: water for him. But you know, we are still a 532 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 10: free country and we can do whatever we want to do, 533 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 10: even foreigners that come in and have questions, but we're 534 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 10: happy to talk about it. 535 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 2: We've just paid tribute to Charlie's legacy and having respectful, 536 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 2: peaceful debate without anybody coming to blows or causing violence. 537 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 3: So thank you, Charlie. Thanks for that one. 538 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, don't thank you, Charlie, but thanks me. 539 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 3: Did you like his. 540 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 2: Dismissive tone about me being a foreigner? 541 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 3: I always show their true colors. 542 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 2: By the way, I was born here, champ And thank 543 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 2: you Charlie for setting a standard we should all aspire to. 544 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 2: Joining me now is political commentator and author Shamika Michelle. 545 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 2: Shamika tell me, was Charlie Kirk racist as our lefty 546 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 2: friend's claim. 547 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 12: No, actually, Rita, I don't believe that he was racist 548 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 12: at all. What I do understand, however, is that when 549 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 12: people hear the truth and they're offended by the truth, 550 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 12: they need to find excuses so that that truth doesn't 551 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 12: apply to them and they don't have to take accountability. 552 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 13: That's really all it is. 553 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 12: So if they feel like if they can get people 554 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 12: to think that he's racist or that he was a misogynist, 555 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,959 Speaker 12: then they can dodge accountability. But he wasn't racist or 556 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 12: misogynist misogynist at all. They just don't want to be 557 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 12: responsible and accountable. 558 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 2: You are so correct, And if they were making these 559 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 2: arguments in goodwill. If I actually believed what they were saying, 560 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 2: they wouldn't take his words out of context, that wouldn't 561 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 2: manufacture quotes, they wouldn't go out of their way to 562 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 2: misrepresent what he was saying and what he was for 563 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 2: to try to malign him. 564 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 13: Absolutely, that's all that it is. 565 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 12: I saw Don Lemon, you know, probably from CNN, you 566 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 12: may know him complaining about all of the messages of 567 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 12: Christ and God that came through on the memorial service 568 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 12: for Charlie Kirk, complaining, and I just said to someone, 569 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 12: this is a man who understands that typical Bible believers 570 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 12: don't think his lifestyle is okay. 571 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 13: So he's just angry about that. 572 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 12: This is Dn Lemon and so many others just not 573 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 12: wanting to change their lifestyle to fit the Bible. They 574 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 12: want to change the Bible to fit their lifestyle. 575 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 13: And that's just not the way it works. 576 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 2: Now today, the man who tried to assassinate President Trump, 577 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 2: Ryan Ruth, was found guilty on all charges, including attempting 578 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 2: to assassinate Donald Trump, assaulting a federal police officer, multiple 579 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 2: firearm fences as well Shamika. There were dramatic scenes in 580 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 2: the court. As the verdict was being read. Ryan Ruth 581 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 2: reportedly tried to stab himself in the neck with a 582 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 2: pen before four US marshals intervened and restrained him. His 583 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 2: daughter Sarah then stood up and said, don't do anything. 584 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 2: I will get you out. What the f He didn't 585 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 2: hurt anybody. This is not fair. This is all rigged. 586 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 2: You guys are a holes Shamika. What do we know 587 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 2: about this guy? Do we know precisely why he tried 588 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 2: to do this? Did he get any assistance? The sas 589 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 2: to still be some amount of mystery around this man. 590 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 12: You know, Rita, we have a saying here and it's 591 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 12: usually written in the acronym in all caps fa fo, 592 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 12: And that's exactly what happened this man. You know, to 593 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 12: just say it a lot nicer. You play silly games, 594 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 12: you get silly prizes, and that's what happened here. He's 595 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,720 Speaker 12: trying to act as if he shouldn't get the time 596 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 12: because nothing actually happened. Well, you tried it, and you 597 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 12: saw exactly what happened. 598 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 13: We don't feel any sorrow for him at all. 599 00:35:53,600 --> 00:36:00,240 Speaker 2: He fa f O, yes, And we're in the frortion 600 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 2: of that equation. Now, Shamika, let's have a look at 601 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 2: what happened earlier today when President Trump and Milania arrived 602 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 2: at the UN. We read again, Yep, the escalator abruptly 603 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 2: stopped just as the President and the First Lady got 604 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 2: on it. 605 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 3: Luckily, no one was heard. 606 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 2: It seems all innocent, except The Times reported on the 607 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 2: weekend that UN staff members and I quote here have 608 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,959 Speaker 2: joked that they may turn off the escalators and elevators 609 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 2: and simply tell him that's President Trump. They ran out 610 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 2: of money, so he has to walk up the stairs. 611 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 2: And noting this, Secretary Caroline Leavitt posted on x if 612 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 2: someone at the UN intentionally stopped the escalator as the 613 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 2: President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to 614 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 2: be fired and investigated immediately. Shamika, surely no one would 615 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 2: be that stupid. 616 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 12: You know, we just lost Charlie kirk Rita, so I 617 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 12: do feel like someone would be that stupid. I don't 618 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 12: put anything past the people who see Donald Trump as 619 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 12: an enemy. 620 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 13: I just don't trust them. And I'm with Caroline. 621 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 12: If someone actually did that on purpose, they need to 622 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 12: be fired. So I wouldn't mind a small investigation into 623 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 12: that at all, because of just what we've been through, 624 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,240 Speaker 12: and we know that they tried to assassinate President Trump 625 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 12: over the summer. I just don't trust them, and I 626 00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 12: think we need to start fighting back and being very 627 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 12: viitious about it. 628 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, if that turns out to be deliberate, 629 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 2: they have to be I don't think they can just 630 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 2: be sacked. 631 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 3: I think they have to. 632 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,359 Speaker 2: Be looked at some charges, because it's just pure good 633 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 2: luck that nobody was hurt with that level of stupidity. Now, 634 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel will be back on the airways tonight, but 635 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 2: not everywhere. 636 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 3: He used to be. 637 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 2: The New York Post is reporting his show will be 638 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 2: missing from dozens of markets after Sinclair Broadcast Group and 639 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 2: Next Time Media Group, which operates thirty two ABC affiliates, 640 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 2: said that they are not interested in having Jimmy Kimmel 641 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 2: live on their airways. And this is all after he 642 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,360 Speaker 2: claimed that Charlie Kirk was killed by a MAGA supporter. 643 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel would know perfectly well that is untrue, and 644 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,359 Speaker 2: he said it anyway. Shamika, what do you make of 645 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 2: what's happened and with Jimmy Kimmel, is he eventually gonna 646 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,320 Speaker 2: get back all across the country or is this really 647 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 2: the end of his career. 648 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,280 Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm not sure he'll get back across the country. 649 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 12: This may just be them allowing him to come on, 650 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 12: so it won't seem as if they caved, or it 651 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 12: won't seem as if they took him off because of 652 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 12: freedom of speech. 653 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 13: Jimmy Kimmel's show is trash. 654 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,919 Speaker 12: I know that it's still gonna be absent from my television, 655 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 12: just as it was. 656 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 13: Prior to the boycott. 657 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 12: But I don't feel sorry for him because I had 658 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 12: to suffer through them taking Roseanne off of TV and 659 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 12: changing it to the Connors. 660 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 13: So this is what happens. 661 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 12: And again I just think that this is the beginning 662 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 12: of the end because he's just simply not funny. 663 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 3: Well, that seems to be the k point. He's not funny. 664 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 2: He has next to no audience and a massive salary 665 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 2: and a massive team. None of it makes sense now, Shamika. 666 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 2: I played some clips of Kamala Harris earlier on Left. 667 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 3: He's losing it. 668 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 2: She's been all around on Rachel Maddow's program and The View. 669 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 2: What have you made of her recent media appearances? 670 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 13: The usual rita. 671 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 12: I don't Maybe she should be a spokesperson for a 672 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 12: vodka drink or maybe rum or something. She just never 673 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 12: comes across very clear. It's always some sort of word salad. 674 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 12: So maybe she can go and work for a hidden balley, 675 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 12: because you would definitely need some ranch or some type 676 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 12: of salad dressing to go along with the word salad 677 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 12: that she always gives us. 678 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 13: I mean, this is just usual Kamala. 679 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,240 Speaker 12: Nothing has changed except her address. 680 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you said it all right there and then, 681 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 2: and yet she's still the front runner to be the 682 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 2: presidential candidate for the Democrats in twenty twenty eight. 683 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,240 Speaker 3: They've got such a shallow talent pool. 684 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 2: What did you make of her claim that she didn't 685 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 2: select Pete Bodhajedge because he's gay. She could have had 686 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 2: him as her running mate, but she said, I'm a 687 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 2: black woman, I couldn't have a gay running mate. 688 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 1: You know. 689 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 12: I think that's rich coming from someone who participated in 690 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:34,760 Speaker 12: enlisted activities her way up. So I don't know about 691 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 12: Kamala again, I think she's just trying to get attention. 692 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 12: I don't know about her being the front. 693 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:41,720 Speaker 13: Runner of anything. 694 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 12: I hope they do try to run her again so 695 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 12: that we can actually keep the White. 696 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 13: House for another four more years. 697 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 2: Now, Shamika, I want to play you a little cleip. 698 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 2: Ip played tourists in Phoenix, and I just noted all 699 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 2: the mess we're bombarded in within our big cities, so 700 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 2: much visual pollution, some of it political, a lot of 701 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 2: it political. 702 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 3: And here's what I found in Phoenix. How do Sky 703 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 3: News family. 704 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 2: I'm in downtown Phoenix and I'm looking at some public art. 705 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 2: Some of it's good, some of it's bad, and some 706 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 2: of it is downright ugly. 707 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 3: This I like. 708 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 2: Now, this is Massa Amini. She's a woman in Iran 709 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 2: who was murdered by the morality police for not wearing 710 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 2: her he jat properly. Her murder sparked widespread process. 711 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 3: How did you guys? Yeah, what can you do? 712 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 2: Probably left he is losing it. As I was saying, 713 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,879 Speaker 2: this is actually a very base piece of art. 714 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,240 Speaker 3: May not look like and it might look like some. 715 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 2: Sort of woke bit of symbolism, but this is about 716 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 2: the oppression of women, the oppression of gays in Iran, 717 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 2: those living under Islam. 718 00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 3: I would like that to be a little bit clearer. 719 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 2: Perhaps I don't know something like free women from the 720 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 2: Jab or solidarity with our sisters living under Shariah. 721 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 3: Some sort of. 722 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 2: Clarity around the piece of art I think would be 723 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 2: useful and make it more powerful. But thumbs up for 724 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 2: this one. 725 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,840 Speaker 3: Black history matters. I don't like that. 726 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 2: I don't like Black lives matter, because all lives matter, 727 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 2: All history matters. If you can't substitute the word white 728 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:35,560 Speaker 2: in for black or any other minority, then don't do it. 729 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 3: You wouldn't say white history matters. M M. 730 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 2: We've had the good, we've had the bad, and this 731 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 2: is the ugly, and it's opposite my hotel. I'm going 732 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 2: to ask for a discount when I check out because 733 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 2: I have been traumatized. Why would anyone want to look 734 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,839 Speaker 2: at Kamala every day? I mean, what an insane thing 735 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 2: to be putting up on a building. It screams failure, 736 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 2: it is screams incoherence, it is screams word solids. It's 737 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 2: not what you want to say in any city, let 738 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 2: alone Phoenix do better, Shamaica. I think I might have 739 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 2: a future as a travel reporter. I think I cannot 740 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 2: grow into that role. But seriously, what are your thoughts 741 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 2: on this messaging around our big cities. Do we need 742 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 2: to have Black History Months? 743 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:26,879 Speaker 13: I'm with you. 744 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 12: I think Black history is simply American history. 745 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 13: It's just history. 746 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 12: And I think that as long as we're trying to 747 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 12: come together, we have to make an effort to stop 748 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 12: finding reasons to divide. 749 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 13: We've had Black. 750 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 12: History Month for the longest time, and I think it's 751 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 12: just time for us. 752 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 13: To move on. 753 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 12: I think we should actually work on unifying instead of 754 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 12: trying to just keep being separate. 755 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 2: We are on a unity Tikad show. Thank you so 756 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 2: much for your time. Tonight still to come. We traveled 757 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 2: at the Charlie Kirk Memorial at Turning Point USA headquarters, 758 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:21,720 Speaker 2: where we're joined by Christian pastor Andrew Cedra. Andrew Cedra, 759 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,319 Speaker 2: We're at Turning Point Headquarters here in Phoenix, Arizona, a 760 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 2: couple of days after Charlie Kirk's funeral. 761 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 3: It's been called a revival. Is that how you see it? 762 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:34,360 Speaker 14: It's a revival. It's a revival. Charlie Kirk wasn't a conservative. 763 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 14: He was a Christian. He or a Christian that's conservative, 764 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 14: and that's one of the biggest points of tension about 765 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 14: his life. Why you saw the celebration of his death 766 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 14: because his faith affected his politics. He didn't do politics 767 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 14: for the sake of politics. He did politics for the 768 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,840 Speaker 14: sake of faith. He didn't do politics to win elections. 769 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,239 Speaker 14: He actually did politics to win the next generation. He 770 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,800 Speaker 14: caught the heart mind, but more than anything, he caught 771 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:02,720 Speaker 14: the spirit of the next generation gen Z fundamentally. 772 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:04,720 Speaker 1: Even though gen Z are the most gay. 773 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,879 Speaker 14: Or the most socialists, or the most Algeburcuates I've ever been, 774 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,279 Speaker 14: they're also the most spiritually aware they've ever been. They're 775 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:16,320 Speaker 14: rejecting the notion that housing, food, medicare will satisfy your soul. 776 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,879 Speaker 14: They're looking for truth, beauty, virtue and morality. And that's 777 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 14: the reason we're seeing a revival among the next generation. 778 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 14: They fully understand that you're not a body that has 779 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,240 Speaker 14: a soul. You are a soul that has a body, 780 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 14: and they're tuning into the soul. 781 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,759 Speaker 1: And that's the reason you were able to. 782 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 14: See thousands of young people crying, weeping and celebrating the 783 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 14: life of charliekirk Well. 784 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 2: Whether you looked at his funeral, you look at the 785 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,399 Speaker 2: visual here at Turning Point Headquarters, there are so many 786 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 2: young people. There's a real contrast between some of the 787 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 2: left thooing protests we've seen in this country and what 788 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,120 Speaker 2: we've seen with Charlie is that reflected back home in 789 00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 2: Australia and left. 790 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: Us something that happens to them. They don't like. 791 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:06,320 Speaker 14: They protests and they burn buildings. When Christians die, we pray, 792 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 14: we worship, and we go to church. And the line 793 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 14: of character is too obvious, like if you have been 794 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 14: claiming Christian Christians a homophobe, sexist, hate speech, all this 795 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,400 Speaker 14: stuff that we get labeled, I get labeled all of 796 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,680 Speaker 14: that for simply preaching the bubble. The facts simply do 797 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 14: not match what you're saying. We don't burn cities, we 798 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 14: don't kill people, we don't bash people, we don't intimidate people. 799 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 14: When we get persecuted and killed, we go to church, 800 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 14: we worship Jesus, we open the Bible, and just like Erica, 801 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 14: we have to forgive in regards to Australia because of 802 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 14: the death of marta prophet Saint Charlie Kirk from a 803 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 14: Christian them perspective, he died while proclaiming Jesus. Just a 804 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 14: few moments before he died, he answered the question about 805 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 14: who Jesus is the historical evidence of Jesus. He's not 806 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:58,799 Speaker 14: just a conspiracy theory, He's an actual rehearsocophigure and he 807 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,400 Speaker 14: got killed in the midst of this type of conversation. 808 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 14: And because of that, in Australia, our church Echo Church 809 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 14: in Sydney, we have seen more than three hundred young 810 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 14: people come to our church in the last two weeks. 811 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,360 Speaker 3: And do you see that as connected to Charlie Kirk. 812 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 14: Percent It's not a coincidence. The biggest two surgeons or 813 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,359 Speaker 14: in our church. Our church charted eight years ago. By 814 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,640 Speaker 14: the grace of God, we are on like five hundred 815 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,440 Speaker 14: people a week. The average size of a church in 816 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 14: Australia twenty nine people and the average age is like 817 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 14: fifty to sixty. The average age in our church is 818 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,320 Speaker 14: twenty five to thirty. The two biggest moments of revival 819 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 14: we've seen in our church was after COVID lockdowns, our 820 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,959 Speaker 14: church doubled and last week, in the last two weeks 821 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,439 Speaker 14: we had one hundred and seventy five percent growth. That's 822 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 14: around three hundred brand new people in our church. 823 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 1: That we have never seen before. 824 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,400 Speaker 14: Charlie Kirk was able to move gen Z ten points 825 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 14: towards Christianity, ten points towards Christendom. Ten points were in conservatism. 826 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 14: And that is the reason Donald Trump won the election. 827 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,880 Speaker 14: Charlie Cope on the heart of the next generation. 828 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 1: And this is a very weird. 829 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 14: Funny way, because while he was preaching politics, politics led 830 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 14: them to Jesus are very crazy, very inconvenient way. But 831 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,279 Speaker 14: if you have been a Christian for any longer time, 832 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 14: God always uses on all the dogs way. He uses 833 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 14: things that we didn't even anticipate. Who knew that the 834 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 14: greatest political commentator of our time would also be the 835 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,280 Speaker 14: greatest revivalist. 836 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 1: Of our time. 837 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 14: So we are seeing growth in our church. Luck never 838 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 14: before people are traveling two hours away to come to 839 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 14: listen to the Gospel. 840 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,879 Speaker 1: So God is not dead, He's more alive than ever. 841 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 2: We've got so many churches across the country that are 842 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,319 Speaker 2: really become political in their messaging, so many churches that 843 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 2: have become woke, and they are not exactly catering to 844 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 2: that young demographic who's thirsting for direction and conviction. 845 00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 14: The work liberal infiltrated churches by LEFTI are dying fundamentally 846 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 14: because the product that we offer is life, is faith, 847 00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,160 Speaker 14: is freedom, when we mingle with the spirit of the 848 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 14: age and the doctrine of the age, and the wisdom 849 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 14: of the age, wokeness and liberalism, you lose your message. 850 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,240 Speaker 1: One thing people told me, your. 851 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:23,000 Speaker 14: Traditional conservative Christianity will tear the next generation away from Christ. 852 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,759 Speaker 14: We are actually seeing the exact opposite. 853 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:27,880 Speaker 3: Andrew said, joh thank you for your time, Thank you, 854 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,360 Speaker 3: and that's it from me.
