1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,520
Speaker 1: The Michael Barry Show.

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 2: It's another of our weekend podcast. If you notice the

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 2: word bonus in front of the description, that means it's

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: not a show that aired during the week. And so

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: these are things that we create for you. Usually or

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: often it's sometimes it's just me, more of me rambling

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: because five hours a day, five days a week wasn't

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: enough to get it all out there. I know it's

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: something weird about me, but it's usually something that doesn't

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: make sense within our format of eight to nine minute

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 2: segments because it's too long for that, and then if

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: we had to chop it up, there's no continuity, so

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: it loses some of the punch. So earlier in the week,

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: we knew we had to play this on the weekend.

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 2: We knew you needed to hear it. You may have

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: heard it already, maybe you'll enjoy listening again. One of

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: the things we try to do with our show during

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: the week and our podcast on the weekend is to

19
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: amplify other voices. We don't think we've we're the only

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: ones who figured any out. We don't think we're the

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: only ones with the contribution to make.

22
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: We like to.

23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: Amplify as well. The voices of people famous or not

24
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: who are saying important things that can move our country

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 2: in the right direction. This week, it happens to be

26
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: the Vice President JD. Vance, and he hosted the first

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk Show after Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 2: and other people were calling for unity, but JD Vance said,

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: hold up, there are people who we don't want to

30
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: unite with. We played part of this earlier in the week,

31
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: but I really like this this is his monologue on

32
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: the Charlie Kirk Show, because a lot of people are

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: still under this false impression that if we can just

34
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: if we can just be nice enough to the left

35
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: who want to kill us, then everything will be okay,

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: if we can just have unity. Well, I got news

37
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: for you. If you think you're going to have unity

38
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: with the cannibal who's hungry, you're about to be dinner.

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: If you think you're about to have unity with a

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: serial killer who's just locked the door behind him as

41
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: he walks in with a knife in his hand, you're

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: about to see your final moments. There are certain people

43
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: you cannot have unity with because they choose not to

44
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: seek unity. There comes a point in time where you

45
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: draw your boundaries and you create the perfect world as

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: you envision it, and that does not involve them being

47
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: a part of your team. Never will.

48
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: But JD.

49
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: Vance, I think said it well and this makes me proud.

50
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: He's our vice president. So enjoy the bonus podcast. Send

51
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: me an email through the website Michael Berryshow dot com.

52
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 3: Shortly after Usha and I left Charlie's family and Charlie's

53
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: remains in Arizona, I wrote a story in The Nation

54
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: magazine about my dear friend Charlie Kirk. Now The Nation

55
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: isn't a fringe blog. It's a well funded, well respected

56
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 3: magazine whose publishing history goes back to the American Civil War.

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 3: George Soros's Open Society Foundation funds this magazine, as does

58
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: the Ford Foundation and many other wealthy titans of the

59
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: American progressive movement.

60
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: The writer accuses Charlie of.

61
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: Saying, and I quote, black women do not have brain

62
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: processing power to be taken seriously. But if you go

63
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: and watch the clip, the very clip she links to,

64
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: you realize he never said.

65
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: Anything like that.

66
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 3: He never uttered those words. He made an argument against affirmative.

67
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: Action as a policy.

68
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: He criticized a specific Supreme Court justice. As an individual,

69
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: he never said anything about black women as a group.

70
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: He made an argument for judging people of all races

71
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: and backgrounds by their own individual merits.

72
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: The very evidence she this hack of a writer.

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: Shows that she lied about a dead man, and yet

74
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 3: she wrote it, an esteemed magazine published it, it made

75
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: it through the editors, and of course liberal billionaires rewarded

76
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: that attack.

77
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: Now, of course, even.

78
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: If Charlie had uttered those words, it wouldn't mean that

79
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: he deserved his fate. But consider the level of propaganda

80
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: at work. Charlie was gunned down in broad daylight, and

81
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: well funded institutions of the left lied about what he

82
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: said so as to justify his murder. This is soulless

83
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 3: and evil. But I was struck not just by the

84
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: dishonesty of this smear, but by the glee over a

85
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: young husband's and young father's death.

86
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: Quote she says he.

87
00:04:52,839 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 3: Was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist the Nation wrote,

88
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there

89
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct.

90
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: He had children, as do many vile.

91
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 3: People, that's what they said. He had children, as do

92
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: many vile people. Now, hours before this smear was published,

93
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 3: my wife and I had the honor of escorting Charlie's

94
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 3: body back to his home in Arizona. We took his wife, Erica,

95
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: we love you, his parents, his sister, and a few

96
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: of his best friends with us. And as they offloaded

97
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: Charlie's casket from Air Force two, I worried that Erica

98
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: would collapse with grief. Now, I'm a very lucky husband

99
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: to a very wonderful wife, But I have never been

100
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: prouder of my wife at that moment, as she held

101
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 3: Erica in Erica's very darkest hour.

102
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: And I thought of Erica.

103
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: As I read that disgusting attack on Charlie. He had children,

104
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: as do many vile people.

105
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: That's what they said about him.

106
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: I said the Lord's prayer, our Father, who art in heaven,

107
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 3: how would be thy name, Thy Kingdom Come? Thy will

108
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 3: be done on earth as it is in heaven. And

109
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: I asked Yusha what Erica had said to her earlier

110
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: in the day in a private moment, and I asked

111
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: Erica's permission to share this. My wife told me she

112
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: asked me.

113
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: For advice.

114
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: Erica asked me for advice on how she should tell

115
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: her children.

116
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: That their father had been murdered.

117
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: She asked my wife how to tell her beautiful kids

118
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 3: that their father and my very dear friend, is no

119
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: longer with us, And as she was doing it, there

120
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 3: were people dancing on that father's grave.

121
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: Now, I have heard many calls in the last few

122
00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: days for.

123
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: Unity and for healing in the wake of Charlie's assassination.

124
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: You have no idea how desperately I want that.

125
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: How gratified I was when Democratic friends and even former

126
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 3: Senate colleagues reached out to offer.

127
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: Their condolences to me.

128
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: I'm so thankful, and I know there are so many

129
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: like them all across our great country. I am desperate

130
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 3: to wrap my arms around them as we all unite

131
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: to condemn political violence and the ideas that cause it.

132
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: Psalm one thirty three tells us, Behold, how good and

133
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 3: how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.

134
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: It is like the precious ointment upon the head whole.

135
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: How badly have I craved that precious ointment in recent days,

136
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 3: and I believe we can have it. But first, first,

137
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: we must tell the truth It's the only way to

138
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: honor Charlie for what was he if not a man

139
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: who told the truth in every place, in every environment. Now,

140
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: the most important truth Charlie told is this that long

141
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: ago a man begotten, not made, came down from heaven

142
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,119
Speaker 3: and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

143
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: and became a man for our sake. He was crucified

144
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: under ponscious pilot and suff death, and was buried and

145
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: rose again on the third day. Charlie believed, as I do,

146
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 3: that all the truth he told flowed from that fundamental principle.

147
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: I really do believe that we can come together in

148
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: this country. I believe we must. But unity, real unity

149
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 3: can be found only after climbing the mountain of truth,

150
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: and there are difficult truths we must confront in our country.

151
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 3: One truth is that twenty four percent.

152
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 4: Of self described quote very liberals believe it is acceptable

153
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 4: to be happy about the death of a political opponent,

154
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: while only three percent of self described very conservatives agree.

155
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: Three percent is too many, of course. Another truth is

156
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: that twenty six percent of young liberals believe political violence

157
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 3: is sometimes justified, and only seven percent of young conservatives

158
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 3: say the same. Again too high a number. In a

159
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: country of three hundred and thirty million people. You can

160
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: of course find one person of a given political persuasion

161
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: justifying this or that, or almost anything.

162
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: But the data is clear.

163
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: People on the left are much likelier to defend and

164
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 3: celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem.

165
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: If both sides have a problem, one.

166
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 5: Side has a much bigger and malignant problem.

167
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: And that is the truth.

168
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 3: We must be told that problem has terrible consequences. The

169
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: leader of our party, Donald J. Trump, escaped an assassin's

170
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 3: bullet by less than an inch. Our House majority leavers,

171
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: Steven Scalise, came within seconds of death by an assassin himself,

172
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: now the most influential conservative activist in generations. Our friend

173
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 3: Charlie has been murdered. This violence, it doesn't come from nowhere.

174
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 5: Now.

175
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: Any political movement, violent or not violent, is a collection

176
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: of forces.

177
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 3: It's like a pyramid that stacks on top one support

178
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: on top of the other. That pyramid's got a foundation

179
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: of donors, of activists, of journalists now, of social media influencers,

180
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: and of course of politicians. Not every member of that

181
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: pyramid would commit a murder. In fact, over ninety nine percent,

182
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: I'm sure would not. But by celebrating that murder, apologizing

183
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: for it, and emphasizing not Charlie's innate sense, but the

184
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 3: fact that he said things some didn't like, even to

185
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 3: the point of lying about what he actually said, many

186
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: of these people are creating an environment where things like

187
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 3: this are inevitably going to happen. A couple of months ago,

188
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 3: I head Land a fundraiser in southern Californian. Since you

189
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: know we'd be out there anyways, my wife and I

190
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: decided to take our kids to Disneyland one weekend.

191
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: We had fun, and.

192
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: To be clear, most of the guests said very nice

193
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: things or they just left us alone. But there was

194
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: a loud and verybole minority that would shout at my children,

195
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: who were eight, five and three, whenever they got the opportunity.

196
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: You should disown your dad, you little shit, one middle

197
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: aged woman yelled at my five year old. Tell the

198
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 3: Secret Service to protect the Constitution, not your father, screamed another.

199
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: Are these women violent, probably not. Are they deranged, certainly?

200
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: And while our.

201
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 5: Side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is

202
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 5: a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in America

203
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 5: and politics today, are proud members of the far left.

204
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 5: After Charlie died, one of his friends and one of

205
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 5: our senior White House staffers, had left leaning operatives in

206
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 5: his neighborhood, passing out leaflets telling people what he looked

207
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 5: like and where he lived, encouraging neighbors to harass him

208
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 5: or God forbid, to do worse. While he was mourning

209
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 5: his dead friend, he and.

210
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: His wife had to worry about the political terrorists drawing

211
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 3: a big target on the home he shares with his

212
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 3: young children.

213
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: Are these people violent? I hope not.

214
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: But are they guilty of encouraging violence? You damn well

215
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 3: better believe it. We can thank God that most Democrats

216
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: don't share these attitudes, and I do while acknowledging that

217
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 3: something has gone very wrong with a lunatic fringe, a minority,

218
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: but a growing and powerful minority on the far left.

219
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: There is no unity with people who scream at children

220
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 3: over their parents' politics. There is no unity with someone

221
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 3: who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to

222
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: excuse his murder.

223
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: There is no.

224
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: Unity with someone who harasses an innocent family the day

225
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: after the father of that family lost a dear friend,

226
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 3: There is no unity with the people who celebrate Charlie

227
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: Kirk's assassination, And there is no unity with the people

228
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these

229
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: terrorist sympathizers, who argue that Charlie Kirk, a loving husband

230
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 3: and father, deserved a shot to the neck because he

231
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,479
Speaker 3: spoke words with which they disagree.

232
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: Did you know that the.

233
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 3: George Soros Open Society Foundation and the Ford Foundation, the

234
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: groups who funded that disgusting article justifying Charlie's death? Do

235
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 3: you know they benefit from generous tax treatment. They are

236
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: literally subsidized by you and me, the American tax payer.

237
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 3: And how do they reward us by setting fire to

238
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: the house built by the American family over two hundred

239
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: and fifty years. I am desperate for our country to

240
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: be united in condendation of the actions and the ideas

241
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: that killed my friend.

242
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: I want it so badly that I will tell you

243
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: a difficult truth.

244
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 3: We can only have it with people who acknowledge that

245
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: political violence is unacceptable, and when we work to dismantle

246
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: the institutions that promote violence and terrorism in our own country,

247
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: now our government. You heard me talk to Stephen Miller

248
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: about this will be working very hard to do exactly

249
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: that in the months to come. We're not always going

250
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 3: to get it right. We will sometimes move more slowly

251
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: than you would like. We will sometimes move more slowly

252
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: than I want us to. But I promise you that

253
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: we will explore every option to bring real unity to

254
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 3: our country and stop those who would kill their fellow

255
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 3: Americans because they don't like what they say.

256
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: But you have a role too.

257
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: Civil society, Charlie understood this well, is not just something

258
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 3: that flows from the government. It flows from each and

259
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: every one of us. It flows from all of us.

260
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: So when you see someone celebrating Charlie's murder, call them

261
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: out in hell, call their employer. We don't believe in

262
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 3: political violence, but we do believe in civility, and there

263
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,479
Speaker 3: is no civility in the celebration of political assassination.

264
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 5: Get involved, Get involved, Get involved. It's the best way

265
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 5: to honor Charlie's legacy. Start a chapter of TPUSA, or

266
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 5: get involved in the one that already exists. If you're older,

267
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 5: volunteer for your local party, write an op ed in

268
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 5: your local paper, run for office. I can't promise you

269
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 5: this is going to be easy. I can't promise you.

270
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: That all of us will avoid Charlie's fate. Can't promise

271
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: you that I will avoid Charlie's fate. But the way

272
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 3: to honor him is to shine the light of truth

273
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 3: like a torch in the very darkest places.

274
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: Go do it.

275
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 3: We owe it to our friend to ensure that his

276
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: killer is not just prosecuted.

277
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: But punished.

278
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 3: And the worst punishment is not the death penalty, but

279
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 3: the knowledge that Charlie's mission continues after he's gone. Saint

280
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: Paul tells us in the Book of Ephesians to put

281
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: on the full armor of God.

282
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: Let all of us put on that armor and commit.

283
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 3: Ourselves to that cause for which Charlie gave his life,

284
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: to rebuild a United States of America, and to do

285
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: it by telling the truth.
