1
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: The New York Times has lost its mind, and we

2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: all know that's already true, but it's been confirmed yet again.

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: In the wake of jd Vance hosting Charlie Kirk's show yesterday,

4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: they freaked out again. Who is surprised? Also, the Emmys

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: happened over the weekend and one massive component of culture

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: was missing. I can guarantee you can guess what that is.

7
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about what that means as far as

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: the significance on American culture. We are continuing to chart

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: the course of America's cultural comeback here at Turning Point tonight.

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for tuning in. This is Turning

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: Point tonight. And before we get to our stories today,

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: I gotta remind everyone you can email the show TPT

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: at tpusa dot com. It has been a flood of emails, messages,

14
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: social media or otherwise that have been sent in tp

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: at tpusa dot com, people with their stories and memories

16
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: and reminiscing on Charlie and well wishes to the Kirk family.

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Those can all go there. We will try again today's

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: time permitting to read some of those again TPT at

19
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: TPUSA dot com. The first thing I would like to

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: address that needs to be addressed because people, everybody needs

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: to know how to combat this if the argument were

22
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: to ever present itself to you in real life, and

23
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: that is the ridiculous lib argument of oh well, this

24
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: is just conservative cancel culture. I have, of course talking

25
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: about the firings of people who celebrated the assassination of

26
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk and them no longer being employed at the

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: place that they work. We've seen this across a number

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: of different companies. Microsoft be one of them, Perkins Koi Quah,

29
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. The North Carolina Panthers

30
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: fired some staff over what they've said. Plenty of different

31
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: companies have now parted ways with people that refuse to

32
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: not celebrate the assassination or the murder of my friend,

33
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: your friend, Charlie Kirk, which is disgusting. Office Depot Nasdaq,

34
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen that Office Depot clip where they

35
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: refuse to print a photo of Charlie saying well, this

36
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: is political propaganda and we don't print that here. It

37
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: is disgusting and disturbing to watch. But I hope that

38
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: you find solace in the fact that those people no

39
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: longer work at that place now when it comes to.

40
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: What the difference is. It's this, It's very simple. It's truth. Well,

41
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: for example, let's just take two things that society has

42
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: agreed on since, well forever, just for example here, One

43
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: a man is a man and not a woman, and

44
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: two a well, murder is bad. Those two things are true.

45
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: We can all agree on them. Society has agreed on

46
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: them since the dawn of time, or at least since

47
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: people have been discussing morals and ethics and characteristics of

48
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: a functioning civilization. Now, the accusation being thrown at conservatives

49
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: now is, well, if you're getting these people fired for

50
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: what they said, doesn't that contradict what you were talking

51
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: about all those years ago when people were getting fired

52
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: on your side for what they said. Isn't that like

53
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: a shoe on the other foot, isn't that a ironic?

54
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: Isn't that the opposite of what you believe? Well, the

55
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: answer is no, because of truth. See, society agrees on

56
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: these two things. When people were getting fired for saying, hey,

57
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: a man is a man and therefore not a woman,

58
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: and therefore they shouldn't use the bathrooms, we were all

59
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: upset about that because that person was being unjustly forced

60
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: to face consequences for saying things that are just true,

61
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: agreeing with the societal truth. Now, when people are celebrating

62
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: the assassination of Charlie Kirk, when they're celebrating murder, they

63
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: are effectively saying, well, no, no, no, murder is not bad,

64
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: which is a societal truth. Instead, it's actually good. They're

65
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: getting fired not because of any sort of cancel culture,

66
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: because they have a misalignment with the societal truth. And

67
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: therefore the consequence of that is society as a whole

68
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: saying we don't want anything to do with you whatsoever.

69
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: It's not some sort of double sided Well this is

70
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: what you said that and this was you know, it's

71
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: a completely different thing. If you have an opinion, that's

72
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: one thing. If you say something that goes completely against

73
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: what the entirety of society believes, it's not an opinion,

74
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: and therefore you have to face the consequences of again

75
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: dealing with society that no longer wants to deal with you.

76
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: That is the argument. The difference that we express is truth,

77
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: and if people disagree with the societal truth, they have

78
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: to face the consequences of doing that. The only reason

79
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: we said, hey, that's not fair is because people that

80
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: we like that are on our side that acknowledge reality.

81
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: We're saying things that were true, they agreed with truth,

82
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: and were being unjustly put through consequences because of that.

83
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: If you're going to reject a societal truth and celebrate

84
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: a death and say no, actually, murder is a good thing,

85
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: it's not an opinion. That's just a misalignment with the

86
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: reality around you. And I wish I could feel more

87
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: bad for these folks. Actually no, I don't. Who am

88
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: I kidding? I don't feel bad for them at all.

89
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: I hope though, that they get the help that they need,

90
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: and you know, I'd be willing to accept apologies. That

91
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean they avoid all consequences, but apologies are

92
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: welcome if you have such a deranged opinion that murder

93
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: for some reason is good. Outside of those heartfelt, sincere,

94
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: genuine apologies, I'm on JD. Van's side with this, as

95
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure all of you are. There is no uniting

96
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: with evil in any way, shape or form. Now, just

97
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: to highlight this a little bit more, I wanted to

98
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: dive in to a specific case. There are honestly two

99
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: many of these we can do one or two of

100
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: these a day for the next year and a half

101
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: and never get finished with all of them. But I

102
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: wanted to highlight this specific instance that I thought was

103
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: really really interesting. The Washington Post apparently fired some lady

104
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: named Karen Attia. I have no idea of her work.

105
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: I have no idea of anything that she's ever done.

106
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: All I know is that she's angry that she got

107
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: fired from the Washington Post. Now the question is was

108
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: her firing justified if you look specifically to her, which

109
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: many news outlets have Politico I think The Hill just had. Well,

110
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: this is her response to her being fired. You will

111
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: find things like this. On Monday, she posted to her subject,

112
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna read it in my oh no voice.

113
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: As a columnist, I used my voice to defend freedom

114
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: and democracy, challenge power, and reflect on culture and politics

115
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: with honesty and conviction. Now I'm being so violence for

116
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: doing my job. Oh really, Karen, is that why you're

117
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: being silenced? Is that why you're being fired from the

118
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: Washington Post? Well, interestingly enough, on several of the articles

119
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: that you'll read coming up, you won't actually see what

120
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: she said. But good news, the internet is forever, so

121
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: we have that. She said on Blue Sky, refusing to

122
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: tear my clothes and smearhashers on my face and performative

123
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: morning for a white man who espoused violence is not

124
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: the same as violence. Well, one to comment on the

125
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: last part of that, Yeah, your people did the violence,

126
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: so I guess it's technically not the same with the

127
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: people on your own side. I'm not sure how you

128
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: square that in your head. But two, you know, okay,

129
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: find me the clip of Charlie espousing violence. And I'm

130
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: not talking about your made up violence words are violence,

131
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: speech or violence. That's not a real thing, and we

132
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: all agree that that's not a real thing. I'm talking

133
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: about physical violence. Charlie wanting someone to be injured or

134
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: hurt or harmed or even killed for their thoughtsant you.

135
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: You won't find him, So that is either a lie

136
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: or you're just so stupid you don't know that it

137
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: is a lie. She went on on substack to say, this,

138
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: my only direct reference to Kirk was one post his

139
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: own words on record. She then included a screenshot. She

140
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: said this, this is the quote that she's saying. This

141
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: is the only thing I said, and it was his

142
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: own words she said, do not have brain Black women

143
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously.

144
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: You had to steal a white person slot. Wow. Wait,

145
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: what an awful quote that is. I wonder if that's

146
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: in context and saying the things that she's meaning it

147
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: to say. Well, good news. We have the clip and

148
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: I'd like to play that clip for you right now.

149
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: This is Charlie from the Charlie Kirk Show saying the

150
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: things that she said he said, but clearly not the

151
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: way that she claims that he said them. Check this out.

152
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: You really have to wonder, in fact, if we would

153
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: have said three weeks ago, Blake, if we would have

154
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 2: said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Shila Jackson

155
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: Lee and Catangi Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we

156
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: would have been called the bis. But now they're coming

157
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 2: out and they're saying it for us. They're coming out

158
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: and they're saying, I'm only here because of affirmative action. Yeah,

159
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: we know, you do not have the brain processing power

160
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 2: to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go

161
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: steal a white person slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.

162
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: Play cut fifty two.

163
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: Okay before we play that, and I do want to

164
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: play that. Yeah, a case in point, he wasn't saying that.

165
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: He thinks that. He's saying that. You're effectively saying that

166
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: because you think, well, I only got here because affirmative action.

167
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: What you're effectively then saying is diminishing the value of

168
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: the people that you claim to help. That's the whole thing,

169
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: that's the whole argument. So maybe maybe miss Karen a Tea,

170
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: whatever her name is, maybe he got fired. Well, maybe

171
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: in part because of the horrible things just say, you

172
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: refuse to cry over a white man, because that makes

173
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: a difference for any sort of reason. Maybe you got

174
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: fired because you're a bad journalist. Maybe in the ten

175
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: year tenure that this lady had at the Washington Post,

176
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: everybody at the Washington Post was going, hey, she's not

177
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: very good at her job. She was hired only because

178
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: she was a DEI higher. We wouldn't otherwise have hired her.

179
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: But she happens to be a black woman, and therefore, yeah,

180
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, we got to meet quotas because the whole

181
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: racial injustice thing or whatever that is. Maybe that's the

182
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: reason she got fired. Maybe she got fired because she

183
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: was so bad at her job. She would say something

184
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: so irresponsible and think, hey, the internet exists. We have

185
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: the clip that you're referencing here, and we know that

186
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: that's not what he said. I want to continue playing

187
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: that clip because he's talking about a congresswoman here, and

188
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: that congresswoman. I just thought this was also interesting to

189
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: basically reiterate the point we think that people saying they

190
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: needed affirmative action diminishes their own value. And all we're

191
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: doing is repeating that.

192
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: Watch this, but I rise today as a clear recipient

193
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: of aff affirmative action. I'm particularly in higher education. I

194
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: may have been admitted on affirmative action, both in terms

195
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 3: of being a woman and a woman of color, but

196
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: I can declare that I did not graduate on affirmative action.

197
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: This is my personal story.

198
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: Okay, well, it's hard to believe the second part of

199
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: that if you're going to admit the first part of

200
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: that I got in on affirmative action. I got in

201
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: because not only am I a woman, I'm a woman

202
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: of color. But I didn't graduate because of affirmative action.

203
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: Oh totally. Yeah. The day during the emissions process. What

204
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: you don't understand is they admit people that are below

205
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: the line in which they would admit people. But while

206
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: they're at school, there's no you know, denigration of what

207
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: they actually need to do to accomplish the schooling process

208
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: and graduate with agree that there's no way that would

209
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: ever happen. But like you said, the entire thing hinges

210
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: on the fact that there are people out there that say, yeah,

211
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: I got in on affirmative action. How much of it

212
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: is it a crime to then say, Okay, well, yeah,

213
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: we know, and therefore we can judge you on a

214
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: different scale because you didn't have to come in on

215
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: the same scale as everybody else. That's all he was saying.

216
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: And the lady that got fired from the Washington Post

217
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: either should have known that or was just lying. Either way,

218
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: I think it makes it so that she shouldn't be

219
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: a journalist. That's kind of the whole thing. Yeah, the

220
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: whole race commentary was bad. And on top of that,

221
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: in her response, she proved that she was unfit for

222
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: the job that she had again probably maybe even possibly

223
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: possibly maybe even probably that was because of a DEI

224
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: in the first place. So there's that there's a lot

225
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: of stuff to get to. We've got the firing of

226
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: a Microsoft guye. It will be a little bit more lighthearted,

227
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: but still you know, in reverence of Charlie Kirk, who

228
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: is a man we all knew and love. But setting

229
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: the record straight is what we're gonna be doing today.

230
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: I recognize the format here is a little bit different.

231
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: We're not as hokey, we're not as you know, fun

232
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: about the news because there is some serious things that

233
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: need to be talked about. We talked about this last week.

234
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: We're going to discuss it at some point, and that

235
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: time has come, so further on, we're going to talk

236
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: about the Emmys, which was really interesting. We're going to

237
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: talk to conservative ants about some the particulars of his

238
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: relationship with Charlie and his movements relationship with Charlie. We're

239
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: also we're also going to watch some hilarious videos of

240
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: some libs getting fired because again they disagreed with the

241
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: truth that society has set forward and therefore have to

242
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: face the consequences of society not wanting to deal with them.

243
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: Don't go away it, We'll be right back after the break.

244
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: Welcome back to turning Point. Tonight. We're together, We're charting

245
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: the course of America's cultural comeback. TPT at TPUSA dot

246
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: com is the email. It's been fantastic to go through

247
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: all of the different emails of people with the well

248
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: wishes and memories of Charlie. Again, we will try to

249
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: get to some of those towards the end of the

250
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: show if time permits. There's a lot of stuff to

251
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: get to, a lot of stuff to talk about. Now,

252
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you about a programming discussion that happened

253
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: in the middle of the commercial. The clip that we

254
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: had queued up was not necessarily the one that I

255
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: thought at the time it was. Now, I do want

256
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: to play this for one specific reason, and that is

257
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: because several people that I know and respect to got

258
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: duped by this. And the reason is not their fault.

259
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it's their fault. I think it's the

260
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: fact that this is so convincing and apparently not fake. Sorry,

261
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: apparently it is fake. But that's hard to know because

262
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: what parody is impossible nowadays with the insanity on the left.

263
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: We told you we're going to talk about a video

264
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: for Microsoft, but again during the commercial break is brought

265
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: to our attention that this video is parody. Although you

266
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: might not know and several people I know didn't know

267
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: before playing it on their show. Watch this, we're gonna

268
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: play it to an entirety and we'll discuss.

269
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 4: I made some stupid comments about Charlie Kirk and today

270
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 4: that he was shot. I said some things on Blue

271
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 4: Sky and on Threads that.

272
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 5: I I'm sorry, not sorry for, but I said them,

273
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 5: and I deleted them when it was requested that I

274
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 5: do so by my employer.

275
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 4: And then today on a weekend, on a weekend, I'm

276
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 4: told that I am no longer employed at Microsoft after

277
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 4: six years building the diversity, equity and inclusion to part

278
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 4: from scratch.

279
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: That's okay, and kill this. I think we've understanding well enough.

280
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: That was the part where we probably should have been like, oh, yeah,

281
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: this this seems fishy. Is that that's too good, that's

282
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: too rich. So just so you all know, we had

283
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: this video cued up and then just as a part

284
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: of his due diligence to producer, Glenn and said, uh, shoot,

285
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: this video isn't actually real, which again is more indicative

286
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: of the fact that there are videos like that that

287
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: are real. So we scrambled and we found a couple

288
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: other of those that are like that, which will bring

289
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: to you in a second, but again further proving the

290
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: point that sometimes parody is impossible in a world that

291
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: is so absurd as it is. Now, if you would

292
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: have told me this is believe this is one hundred

293
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: percent legit, I would have believed you. Now earlier we

294
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: said that market Microsoft hasn't fired employees. They have, but

295
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't that guy. That guy was doing a sketch, which, unfortunately,

296
00:16:54,520 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: in our world of modern absurd insanity, you can't really

297
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: it's hard to tell. And I really wonder maybe we

298
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: should have done this in a different way. But I

299
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: really wonder if we had just played that, been upset

300
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: about it, and then said it was parody, how many

301
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 1: of you would have gone, Now, that's that's legit. That

302
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: makes that makes a lot of sense. He's got the

303
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: nos ering. He was the DEI guy. He's posting a

304
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: video like this hilarious. Well, it's not hilarious. People that

305
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: are actually posting things that are actually saying the cruel

306
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: and awful things, not as a parody, not mocking the vote. Well, actually,

307
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: these are the folks that this guy was mocking. This

308
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: is a professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Ta.

309
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: Mara Shanierian, I don't know how to pronounce it. I

310
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: don't care. Graphic one, Glen, go ahead and pull that up.

311
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: She's been fired after her viral post celebrating Charlie's death.

312
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: Now let's just read this post. I know this might

313
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: make you a little bit angry, might feel a little

314
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: bit of emotion here. But a professor at a universe

315
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: in the anthropology department, so I guess maybe not really

316
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: A professor said this. The world is better off without him,

317
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: even those who are claiming it sad for his wife

318
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: and kids, Like his kids are better off living in

319
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: a world without a disgusting psychopath like him. And his wife, well,

320
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: she's a sick f for marrying him. I don't care

321
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: about her feelings. Okay, Like we mentioned earlier in the beginning,

322
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: this is the type of person that we just don't

323
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: want in our society. Not to say that, you know,

324
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: we want anything bad to happen to her. That's not

325
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: what I'm saying at all. But as a part of

326
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: the civil civic discourse, Nope, don't need them as a

327
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: part of the workforce. Don't need them. I also got

328
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: a ton of flag from this from the libertarians on

329
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: the internet. The other day, I called for, Hey, if

330
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: somebody loses their job because they are glorifying the assassination

331
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: of a political figure, let alone a husband and father,

332
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: they should not get a government benefits either. How about

333
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: that you get fired, and you know, you don't get

334
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: food stamps, you don't get housing vouchers, you don't get

335
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: any of the things that the government provides to people

336
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: who get fired or find themselves unemployed. Now my argument

337
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: to that would I don't think that should exist for anybody,

338
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: But because it does exist, so's at least set some

339
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: parameters and some limits. That was the problem I got. Well,

340
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: the government can't decide who gets these benefits and who doesn't.

341
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 1: How about this, nobody gets the benefits, but specifically those people,

342
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: specifically the people that are celebrating something so heinous and

343
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: so horrible. Maybe those people don't get the benefits. And

344
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: you know what that would require them to do. It

345
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: would force them back into the original charity, which would

346
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: be the church, which would be exactly what Charlie would

347
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: have wanted. So people like that exist, be careful because

348
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: they are around you. This is the thing with my

349
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: wife and I've said over and over again, the most

350
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: disturbing part of this is these people exist among us,

351
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: which is scary to think about when you're walking around thinking,

352
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this is more prevalent than I would

353
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: have thought. But in addition to that, we got this

354
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: clip from another guy who and this is real. This

355
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: is a guy who has been now suspended for posting

356
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: a video like this celebrating Charlie's murder. Clip seven.

357
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 6: A man who hated the LGBTQ community, who hated women's rights,

358
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 6: who hated democracy, who thought that he was a big

359
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 6: man because he went to college campuses and debated college

360
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 6: students and thought he proved how tough he was with

361
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 6: his words, that he studied ahead of time. What a

362
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 6: piece of garbage. This is what happens.

363
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: Go ahead and stay on this clipland I want to

364
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: I want to see this bozos face. What's his name?

365
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: Benjamin Pillow as a teacher at a high school in

366
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: the Barrington High School community. Barrington's school community sent out

367
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: an email saying, Hey, we were informing parents that he

368
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: is on paid administration to leave, although there are students

369
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: now taking to the classroom saying he should be fired.

370
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: But again to the point, what kind of argument does

371
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: this like, what kind of argument is Okay, well, he

372
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: hated the LGBTQ. We'll actually address that in a segment

373
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: further down the line with the conservative ant because I

374
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: do think that is necessary to discuss considering Charlie's being

375
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: called all of the ists, misogynist, homophobic, all of the

376
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: things that are not true, just being labeled as such.

377
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: What does he go on to say? Then he talks

378
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: about women's rights, women's healthcare. That's my favorite argument, not

379
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: to go on too much of a tangent. Women's healthcare

380
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: is at risk. Oh yeah, like if my wife sprains

381
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: her ankle all of a sudden, she's not gonna be

382
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: able to get care. No, no, tall it one really is.

383
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: Call it what he really is, you sikos killing babies.

384
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: That's what this actually is, women's health care. But then

385
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: to make the grander point that he's making. Oh sorry,

386
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: before that, he said too, I can't think he's a

387
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: big man because he's going on college campuses that he's

388
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: studied and prepared for this. Yeah, you should do that too,

389
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: do you not? Do you not read ahead of time?

390
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: And like study for questions that you might be asked

391
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: by students in your classroom. There's a factor right there.

392
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: Just like the lady in the Washington Post should have

393
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: gotten fired not because of what she posted, but because

394
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: she's bad at her job. Maybe this guy who apparently

395
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: thinks that that is an anomaly. Yeah, this guy going

396
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: to college campus is just saying things that he learned

397
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: from reading. Who does that you should be doing that, dude,

398
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: that's it's kind of the whole point of being a

399
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: teacher and an educator. But then to his broader term

400
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: of oh, this is what you get, Okay? Cool? I

401
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: mean we could be furious and disgusted and horrified, and

402
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: I am, but also this is just a telltale sign

403
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, we don't need you in the workforce,

404
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: and we don't want to be sure, sect don't want

405
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: to be paying for whatever subsidies that you might be

406
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: getting while out of the workforce. A civil society that

407
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: has agreed upon a certain norm and a certain truth

408
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: needs to uphold that truth. And if they can't, and

409
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: people like this go unpunished by going on paid administrative leave.

410
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: We will update you, by the way, in case that

411
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: is changed throughout the course of this week, against students

412
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: have been clamoring for this guy to be fired, which

413
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: he should be, because he disagrees with one of the

414
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: fundamental truths of our society that murder is bad, which

415
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: everybody agrees with. Will keep you updated on whether or

416
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: not that changes. But people like out, people like this

417
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: guy exist. Not much else more to say in that

418
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: it's horrifying, it's disgusting, and I can't help but be

419
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: appreciative of the folks that are doing the work to

420
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: expose all of the people in our society that are

421
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: not quote unquote getting canceled for their opinion, because again,

422
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: disagreeing with truth is not an opinion. I'm super grateful

423
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: for the folks that are doing all of the work

424
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: to make sure people are getting held accountable not by

425
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: their opinions, but that the way that they view the world.

426
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: And like I said a number of times, I do

427
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: hope they change their mind. There's a place for redemption,

428
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: there is a place for people to genuinely reverse course,

429
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: and Charlie, of all people, would be the first person

430
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: to welcome that. But they do have to show contrition,

431
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: They do have to show that, yes, we made a mistake,

432
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: and we genuinely recognize that mistake and we would like

433
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: acceptance going forward. But until then, Bye bye audios. Whatever

434
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: term you want to use to say that society is

435
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: not better with you a part of it doesn't mean

436
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: I want any violence. That doesn't mean I want anything

437
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: to do with that. I'm simply saying that the firing

438
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: of folks that are like this are really, you know,

439
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: to protect the people that work at that place from

440
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: individuals who have such a deranged look on the world.

441
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: So I can't say I'm sorry, but it's a it's

442
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,239
Speaker 1: a reality of truth. Love it or hate it. I

443
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: currently love it at this moment, despite the horror, horrific

444
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: tragedy it is. It is somewhat heartening to see how

445
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: society can bounce back and just completely eliminate this sort

446
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: of just grotesque insanity. Ranted on that for probably longer

447
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: than I was supposed to, but we will be right

448
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: back after the break. I want to discuss the Emmys

449
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: and what they didn't mention on the the their cultural

450
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: award show over the weekend. I'm sure you could probably guess,

451
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: but if not, go ahead, We'll be right back after

452
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: the break. Welcome back to turning point. Tonight, we're together.

453
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: We are charting the course of America's cultural comeback. Remember

454
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: you can email the show anytime you want. TPT at

455
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: TPUSA dot com. I promised that eventually we'll get to

456
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: some emails, But as we go through the show, I'm

457
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: just looking at all the things we got to talk about,

458
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure there's gonna be a ton of

459
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: time to do that. I wish there were. I apologize

460
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: in advance. If we're hoping for that, maybe maybe we'll

461
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: do an extended thing sometimes to get to get some

462
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: of those emails out, because again, some of them are fantastic,

463
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: and it's wonderful seeing so many people who were touched

464
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: by Charlie, who have changed the course of their life

465
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: due to Charlie. So again, TPT at TPOSA dot com

466
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: if you want to send those well wishes or memories along,

467
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to talk about the well We've

468
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: been talking specifically a lot about how some of the

469
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: crazy people on the lib side of the aisle are

470
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: acting in response to again a heinous murder and assassination

471
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk. What is interesting is seeing how some

472
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: of the mainstream media is responding to our response from this. Yesterday,

473
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: jd Vance, the Vice President of the United States, hosted

474
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: Charlie's podcast Slash Radio show and said things that I

475
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: think we all agree to be true. During the last

476
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: segment of yesterday's show, we show jd Vance saying there

477
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 1: is no unity between people who disagree fundamentally with reality.

478
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: Obviously put it in much nicer terms and probably pinpointed

479
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: a little bit better, but that's what effectively was saying, Hey,

480
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: if you don't agree with the truth and therefore you

481
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: can justify murder, there's no unity with that toward person.

482
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: There is unity with people who disagree with us. There's

483
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: unity between folks who think, yeah, you know, I think

484
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: the government should do this versus this, but also agree, yeah,

485
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be killing people. There shouldn't be political assassinations.

486
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: There could be unity with those folks in the unity

487
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: around yeah, let's not murder each other in cold blood

488
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: for our difference in belief, but there can't be unity

489
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: with people who don't agree with that, and therefore there

490
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: was a lot of refrain from using some of the

491
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: terminology that I think I'd like to use, But there

492
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: was a lot of discussion on the lip side of

493
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: the Island. I thought this piece from the New York

494
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: Times was particularly interesting. Now, remember I just said, JD.

495
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: Vance said. We have all said we can agree on

496
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: different things and how they look in regards to how

497
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: we think the country should be run. What we can't

498
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: disagree on is whether or not the fundamental values not

499
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: murdering each other for our political beliefs is bad. We

500
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: have to agree that that is bad, and if we can't,

501
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: there's no way forward. Encompassed in the people that we

502
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: can disagree with civilly but still respect are liberals. That's

503
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: just the reality of it. Liberals can be encompassed in that,

504
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: especially if they believe that political assassination is bad. This

505
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: is a New York Times headline that I'm curious to

506
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: see if you think leads up to that or fulfills

507
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: that idea of Hey, liberals can be in the fold

508
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: of decent modern society. When they say this the White

509
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: House plans to plans broad crackdown on liberal groups, did

510
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: anybody say that, Did anybody say, broadly speaking, we're just

511
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: gonna start cracking down on liberals or did they be

512
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: precise with their language and precision and language is what

513
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: we've been talking about a lot on this show lately.

514
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: Or did jd. Vance say, no, no, the radicals. Did

515
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: President Trump say the radicals, because that's what they're saying.

516
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: Yet The New York Times says broad crackdown on liberal groups.

517
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: Some of the highest ranking officials, says The New York

518
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: Times in the federal government, used Charlie Kirk's podcast guest

519
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: hosted by President Jdvance, to lay out their plans. President

520
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: Trump and his top advisors threatened on Monday to unleash

521
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: the power of the federal government to punish what they

522
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: allege is left wing network funds that incite violence. Yeah, yes, yeah,

523
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: we should do that now. I would guarantee you, though,

524
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: that President Trump would not say that the people that

525
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: incite violence, that think violence is okay, are not encompassed

526
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: in the broad lefty movement. But that's what The New

527
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 1: York Times says. That's the language that they use. They

528
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: specific say funds that incite violence. Investigator, Oh, there's just

529
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: a line. This is the throwaway line that I thought

530
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: was just fascinating. Investigators are still working to identify the

531
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: motive of the death of mister Kirk. Okay, I don't.

532
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: We don't even need to dive into that discussion. I think,

533
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: despite anything, let's just take all of that evidence out

534
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: of it. What we saw was an entire internet response celebrating,

535
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: which is just as bad in my opinion, maybe not

536
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: just as bad, but it's ninety five percent of the

537
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: way there. So that is what it is. Interestingly enough

538
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: people in Congress started weighing in. This is again. In

539
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: the New York Times, they report that Senator Chris Murphy

540
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: of Connecticut said, pay attention. The murder of Charlie Kirk

541
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: could have united United Americans to confront political violence. Instead,

542
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: President Trump and his anti democratic radicals look to be

543
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: readying a campaign to destroy dissent. Is that really what

544
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: they're doing? Say, hey, the radical leftists that promote violence,

545
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: we can all agree that that's bad. Instead, Senator Murphy says,

546
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: they're crushing descent, destroying descent, all right. Congressman Greg Casser

547
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: says of Trump, he cannot be allowed to use the

548
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: horrible murder of Charlie Kirk is a pretext to go

549
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: after peaceful political opposition. Again, nobody is doing that. Are

550
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: the are the folks that are going after the peaceful

551
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: political opposition in the room with us. Now, Congressman Caster,

552
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: is that are they among us as we speak, because

553
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: clearly they are the delusions in your own head, because

554
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 1: no one is freaking saying that. And it's hard to

555
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: not laugh at this because it's so ridiculous and absurd.

556
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: But the problem is that this is these are people

557
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: with actual power. These are people with voices in our

558
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: government saying things that are objectively not true. And interestingly enough,

559
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: if you go further down in the New York Times,

560
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: they even say the true thing. This is a and

561
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: from that article in the New York Times saying the

562
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: White House plans broad or crack down on liberal groups,

563
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: when that is not what happened. They said, we're gonna

564
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna go after the radicals that are in citing violence.

565
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: But again they choose to encompass all liberals in that,

566
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: and the Senator and the Congressman seem to agree. This

567
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: is also from that article. Two senior administration officials, who

568
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the internal planning, said,

569
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: the cabinet secretaries and federal department heads we're working to

570
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: identify organizations that funded or supported violence against conservatives. Yeah, unless,

571
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: of course, you're burying the lead here and all liberal

572
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: groups support violence against conservatives. That's not what we're talking about, unless,

573
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: of course it is, unless it's an admission, Unless Senator

574
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: Murphy or unless Congressman cast are admitting that all liberals

575
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: want to do violence against conservatives, which I don't believe,

576
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm just trying to prove a point.

577
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: Unless they're admitting that all the things that they said

578
00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: are alive. Everything they said is trying to create police

579
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: fervor on their own side, using the pretext to go

580
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: after peaceful political opposition, says Congressman Casser when in the

581
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: article that he's quoted in saying that says, yeah, supported

582
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: and funding violence against conservatives. That's what the president is

583
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: going after, and they should, by the way, they should

584
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: go after people that are funding and supporting political violence

585
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: against their ideological opposites. That should happen, and I'm glad

586
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: that they are doing that. But for the New York

587
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: Times and for the Senator and Congressman among many others,

588
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure to try and twist it as well. Liberals

589
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: more broadly are going to be affected by this people

590
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: who are just peacefully protesting, and saying that those people

591
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: are also in the fold of the folks that like violence.

592
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: Either one is an admission or two is a bold

593
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: faced lie. Don't have any other way to put it.

594
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: You want to talk about being responsible in your language,

595
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: take some of your own advice. New York Times, we

596
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: write back. After the break, we're going to discuss the

597
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk impact with Anthony Ramandi Conservative Ants. We're also

598
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: going to talk about the Emmys. I know we've been

599
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,479
Speaker 1: promised to talk about that. That'll be right back. That'll

600
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: be after the break. Don't go away, It'll be right back.

601
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Turning Point tonight, where we are still

602
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 1: charting the course of America's cultural comeback. You can email

603
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 1: the show TPT at tpusa dot com if you've got

604
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: memories of Charlie or well wishes TPT at tpusa dot com.

605
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: We've loved seeing every single one of the emails come through,

606
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: and hopefully time permitting, will get to some of those.

607
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 1: At the end of the show, I want to talk

608
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: to a guy who hates being called an influencer, but

609
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: he has a huge amount of influence, almost a million

610
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 1: followers on Instagram. Conservative aunt Anthony Rimandi, who's a friend

611
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 1: of Rav Frond of the network, also a friend of Charlie. Anthony,

612
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: we've been kind of just talking to people just broadly

613
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: and generically about Charlie and his impact on you. What

614
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: was Charlie to you. We'll give you the floor and

615
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: kind of open it up as broadly as you want

616
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: it to be.

617
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks, thanks for having me on. You know, Charlie

618
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 7: was an inspiration to people who had different opinions, and

619
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 7: he really broke down things for me and helped me

620
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 7: understand stuff that maybe I didn't. And he was the

621
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 7: most non confrontational person I think in our entire movement.

622
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 7: I mean, he was always the voice of reason, right.

623
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 7: He would bring people to the front and have them

624
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 7: talk and say let them talk, whereas I'm not as

625
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 7: calm or calculated. So like the fact that he's considered

626
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 7: controversial is like insanely wild to me. And that's why

627
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 7: I think it hits like all of us so much,

628
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 7: just because it was like if anyone like Charlie was

629
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 7: the guy you wanted to end up running into because

630
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 7: he would let you anybody talk. Yeah, So it's hard

631
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 7: I mean it's like every day. It's like every time

632
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 7: you talk about him, that's it's like heavy.

633
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know, when when we went to the

634
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: your solo shot, I think people saw on the wall

635
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: that American Pride banner that you've got there, which is

636
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: which is interesting, Which is another thing that I would

637
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: like to bring up. Uh, you know that I only

638
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: view you as an American, as a patriot, and as

639
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: a fighter in the conservative movement. You also happened to

640
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: be gay. And I think there's a video out there

641
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: that you had posted that I would love to show

642
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: viewers because Charlie is getting smeared as this homophobic, misogynistic, racist,

643
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: anti like all of the things, all of the ists

644
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: he's been getting slandered as. I want viewers to see

645
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: this video and that I would love your response. This

646
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: is something you post yesterday. We cut it down a

647
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: little bit for time, but watch this.

648
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 2: So I'm going to ask a very respectful question, as

649
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 2: respectfully as I can. What does what they do in

650
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 2: their private life concern you so much that you have

651
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 2: to go up in front of a crowd.

652
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 4: And it is against God? That is, Are you a

653
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 4: Christian or not?

654
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 2: Do we live in a theocracy, yes or no? No's

655
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 2: do we live in a theocrisy?

656
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: You said you're a Christian. I am a Christian and

657
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: do you know what?

658
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 2: And guess what? I will say. This part of being

659
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 2: a Christian is appropriately interpreting what the theological says for

660
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 2: the individual, but also means to be long suffering and

661
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 2: patient and loving and kind. Jesus Christ talked to all people.

662
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ went and did his ministry through Judea and Samaria,

663
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 2: and he had dinner with text collectors, and he had

664
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: dinner with prostitutes, and he did his ministry in every

665
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 2: part of the Mediterranean. What it means to be a Christian,

666
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: my friend, is to be open minded but firm in

667
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 2: your belief.

668
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: So you can have that belief.

669
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: But if you say that's something inherently wrong with communicating

670
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 2: or associating just because they make different personal decisions than you,

671
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,959
Speaker 2: then you, sir, are not a conservative. Thanks for being

672
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 2: here tonight.

673
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: You know I think that this is I mean, that's

674
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 1: just I think very powerful. Charlie was a big time

675
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: open tent, a big, big tent conservative that welcomed everybody

676
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: in the movement and honestly there's a lot of people

677
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: in the movement that don't necessarily see it that way.

678
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 1: Some people watching the show might not see it that way.

679
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: But in regards to all of the ists that Charlie

680
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: gets called, you know, describe your experience again with with

681
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: him in saying that, and just as the movement overall

682
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: and responding to that video, well that, I.

683
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 7: Mean, that proofs it like that, there's nothing else that

684
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 7: you can say that is going to He was a

685
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 7: man that like understood what you were saying, but then

686
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 7: he was like, but he would give you the facts,

687
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 7: and then it was like, why do you why do

688
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 7: you make that your person out? Like why is that

689
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 7: your entire thing? Like I'm I'm gay, but or i'm gay,

690
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 7: and and it was like, no, that doesn't need to

691
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,479
Speaker 7: be a thing. And so I've always been that way.

692
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 7: I mean, this is going back even before Trump times.

693
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 7: I mean ever since I was in the community, in

694
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 7: the community, you know, in my twenties, I was always like,

695
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 7: why do we have to lead with that? And you know,

696
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 7: that's a great reminder. It's like, look at everybody that

697
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 7: Jesus sat with, you know, you sat with everybody that's

698
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 7: Charlie Charlie sat with everybody and so.

699
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 8: For people to call him like racist, phobic and all that.

700
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 8: Then you hear that and you're like, when did he

701
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 8: say that? You know, I'm so sorry.

702
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: Outside I completely understand It's it's been toggling between sadness

703
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: and just fury of the types of people that would

704
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: post stuff that they are blatantly either ignorant of or

705
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: just are fine with spreading lies and mistruths about a

706
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: guy who only wanted to have a dialogue and discussion.

707
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: And we have been talking to to people the last

708
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 1: several days of you know, where they see the movement going?

709
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: In your eyes, where where is this going? How important

710
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 1: is it that you know, we stick to the cause

711
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: and make sure that all the things that Charlie was

712
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: fighting for, you know, aren't going to go to waste

713
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: just because he's not here with us anymore.

714
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 7: I do not think that this is that anything's going

715
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 7: to go to waste, if anybody, I mean, I think

716
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 7: at this point everybody saw Erica how amazing and strong

717
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 7: she was. You can see the anger and the disappointment,

718
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 7: you can see all the emotions in her. By this

719
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 7: is bigger, like this is going to be and is

720
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 7: bigger than it was before. I think that that was

721
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 7: the mission that he was put on earth for. And

722
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 7: you know that's why you know a lot of people,

723
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 7: even owning a business in an apparel line on, you know,

724
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 7: people are like, are you making freedom short? So I'm like,

725
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 7: please go to turning point. Sign up, go to turning point.

726
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,439
Speaker 7: Get it from turning point because it brings you there.

727
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 7: You're supporting the message and the cause and growing. I mean,

728
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 7: we see how many people have signed up, Guys, like,

729
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 7: in just a short period of time, we have so

730
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 7: many more people that have joined the turning point. This

731
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 7: is the turning point, is this is the turning point

732
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 7: in America. You know, my cousins in Italy, influencers that

733
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 7: are making videos. You know, he had such a powerful

734
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 7: message and a powerful impression on so many people, and

735
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 7: that was just it. He was brought to the very

736
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 7: small majority that didn't like him, very small majority, and

737
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 7: as we know, those are always the voices that you

738
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 7: see the most of. Unfortunately, this is bigger than ever.

739
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 7: This isn't going anywhere. We're gonna keep on going. We

740
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 7: can't stop. Now, that's not that's a complete opposite of

741
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 7: what Charlie would have wanted us to do.

742
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I agree with you too, that point of

743
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: just because the fringe is loud doesn't mean they're right

744
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: in that, it doesn't mean they should influence anything. And

745
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: I think Charlie would have believed that wholeheartedly. Anthony RIMONDI

746
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 1: conservative aunt, really appreciate you taking the time. I wish

747
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: we were talkingunder better circumstances, but keep finding the good fight.

748
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: Thanks you too. Thanks man. Remember you can email the

749
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: show anytime you want TPT at tpusa dot com with

750
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: your memories and thoughts and well wishes for Charlie and

751
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: the Kirk family as a whole. We'll be back right

752
00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:04,479
Speaker 1: after the break, No go away, Welcome back to Turning

753
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: Point tonight. We're together. We are continuing to chart the

754
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: course of America's cultural comeback. I know I've said this.

755
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 1: I said this before. We would like to read emails.

756
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 1: We just don't have time. I'm sorry, but you can

757
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: still send emails TPT at tpusa dot com. We will

758
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: make time at some point this week to go through

759
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of the emails that we see. Again, there

760
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: have been hundreds that it wouldn't even be possible to do.

761
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 1: If we did the entire show of emails, we wouldn't

762
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: be able to finish in a year. But TPT at

763
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: tpusa dot com you can also send messages any of

764
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: the social media profiles. Hopefully we'll see them there, but

765
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: we will get to them eventually. But for now, we've

766
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,240
Speaker 1: got to talk about what I think is a huge

767
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: cultural implication. The Emmys happened over the weekend. In case

768
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: you were unaware, I honestly didn't know. I was completely

769
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: unaware that they were happening. That's not entirely sure. I

770
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: knew that they were, like I knew that they were

771
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: happening sometime soon, I was unaware that they happened on

772
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Now, the reason that I think this is

773
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: interesting is because all of the show, the entire show,

774
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: not one time did anybody mention the Charlie Kirk assassination.

775
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: Now not saying they needed to support it in any way,

776
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: shape or form, or be a supporter of Charlie Kirk

777
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form, but at least acknowledging

778
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: something that has huge cultural impact in the culture that

779
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: they existed. Remember, the media people, the entertainment people think

780
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: that they own the culture. They control the culture. Now,

781
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why I don't think that's true in

782
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: just a second. But at no point did they mention

783
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk's assassination. And that was clearly and utterly deliberate. Now,

784
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: I don't not even necessarily place blame on the host.

785
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: Nate Bargatzi hosted the show. He is a clean comic,

786
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: a family oriented guy. He mentioned in the beginning, he acknowledged, hey,

787
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: this is a terrible situation. He would like for the

788
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: Emmys to be an escape from the horrible reality that

789
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 1: the country is living in. And while I can respect

790
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: that in some way, shape or form, you know, I

791
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: wish you would have said something he didn't. I'm not

792
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: entirely blaming him. There's a lot of powers that that

793
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: did say, hey, don't say anything. But what he also

794
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: said was I don't want to bring any politics into

795
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: this whatsoever. So at the very very very least you

796
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,399
Speaker 1: can understand, hey, we don't want to bring that entirely in.

797
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: The problem is, unfortunately you can't control everybody there in

798
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,879
Speaker 1: not bringing their political opinions into the fold. Not only

799
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 1: did they not mention one of I think the biggest

800
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: cultural turning point in American society in the last several decades.

801
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk's assasination. Not only did they not mention that,

802
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: you got people like Javier Bordame or whatever his name

803
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 1: is showing up in a terrorist garb whatever at the

804
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: beginning saying you know, Gaza, this, Palestine, that and all

805
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: of his nonsense. So that was political there and the speeches.

806
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: This is Hannah Einbinder. I have no idea who this is,

807
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: but she appropriately appears in a show called Hacks. I

808
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: don't know if that's like just a documentary titled what

809
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: she probably lives her life like. But she went over

810
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 1: time which cost people money, which if you don't understand

811
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: that reference, you probably didn't watch, which I understand. But

812
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: so ignore what she says at the beginning. But what

813
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: she says ultimately, I think is telling of where they

814
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: think the society and the culture is watched.

815
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 9: This finally, Oh, I'll pay the difference. Sorry, Finally, I

816
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 9: just want to say, I just want to say, finally,

817
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 9: go birds, yes and free Palestine, thank you.

818
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. So as to why they didn't mention anything with

819
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, she said, f ice and free Palestine, and

820
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: the crowd erupted. I think they were worried that, hey,

821
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: if we mentioned this guy, even though we all think

822
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: it's terrible, Uh, we are going to get pushed back

823
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: from our audience that's in the room tonight. I think

824
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: that is cowardly and I think they shouldn't have done it.

825
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: But that's the reality. Here's what I think, though, is

826
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: the actual cultural turning point. Just looking at the ratings,

827
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,439
Speaker 1: the broadcast of the Emmys got the highest they've been

828
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 1: in the last four years at seven point four million views. Now,

829
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,479
Speaker 1: I want to juxtapose that to the speech that Erica

830
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: Kirk gave on Friday, which, on one platform, not including Rumble,

831
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: YouTube x all of the different platforms in the TV stations,

832
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: on one platform on Instagram sixty three million views and counting.

833
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 1: Who do you think has the cultural influence The people

834
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: that get together in their nice outfits and claim to

835
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: be the arbiters of reason and culture, who get a

836
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: measly seven and a half million people watching their broadcast,

837
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: or the wife of a murdered American hero, who, again

838
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: on one platform, gets sixty three million views, almost ten

839
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: times as the amount of views of the people that

840
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: claim to be the guiding light of American culture, who

841
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: actually has an impact, who actually has an influence. I

842
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 1: would beg to differ that it's not the people that

843
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: are at the Emmys. Is it maddening that they didn't

844
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,439
Speaker 1: mention Charlie Kirk in any way, shape or form. Yes,

845
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: And it doesn't really matter nobody's watching them. Relatively, we

846
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:27,720
Speaker 1: are winning the culture war by sheer numbers, let alone

847
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: the fact that we have truth and reality on our side.

848
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 1: We are winning and for that I am grateful, despite

849
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: the horrific tragedy that took place that led us to

850
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: where we are right now. One round out the show

851
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: with something fun this clip, Glenn, We're gonna skip that

852
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 1: interview clip and go straight to you know, I don't

853
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: know what happened here. There is a guy. There's a

854
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: video posted of a guy who was sitting outside in

855
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: a T shirt and signs that said Charlie deserved it

856
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 1: or something along those lines. There's a cut in the video.

857
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: Nobody knows what happened during that cut in the video.

858
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: It could be anything. You know, who knows what happened,

859
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: but you'll see it's very short. Let's just go ahead

860
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: and play it and I'll narrate through this guy with

861
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: a sign thumbs up saying haha, wow interested. Who knows

862
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,240
Speaker 1: what happened after that cut? But that man is crawling

863
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: out of the pond. Who know, your guess is as

864
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: good as mine? Actually email your guesses to TBT at

865
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: tbusa dot com. I'm not sure what FAFO means either.

866
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: That was another acronym that was shown on the screen

867
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: there again anybody's guests. Who knows nobody here is advocating

868
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: any sort of physical retaliation for people who display disgusting beliefs.

869
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: But like I said, you know, the video cuts and

870
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 1: there's nothing we can do about that. It's just it'll

871
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: be lost in ambiguity. We'll never know what actually happened there.

872
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: Thank you for sticking with us as we try to

873
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: figure out how to do this show going forward. We'll

874
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow, same time, same place. God bless America.
