1
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: According to an article in The New York Times, Charlie

2
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: was right. College is a scam and maybe you should

3
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: rethink going and spending all that money on something that

4
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: won't necessarily get you.

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: A good job.

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: We will definitely touch on the firing of Jimmy Kimmel,

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: and I recognize he's just been suspended, but in TV terms,

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: suspended and definitely usually means a you gone find out

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: why he should have been fired and not what the

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: lib media is saying.

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: This is censorship by the government. All that's a bunch

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: of hogwash.

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: But speaking of censorship, the communist ice cream makers Ben

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: and Jerry had fallen apart. Jerry has left Ben and

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: Jerry's because he feels like he's being censored. Find out

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: the irony of the folks who support some of the

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: ridiculous causes that they support doing what they did that

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: put him in this position. All that more coming up

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: on this episode of Turning Point Tonight. My name is

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. Together, we

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: are charting the course of America's cultural comeback. This is

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: Turning Point Tonight. Now, before we get to any of

23
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: the stories that we're gonna talk about today. Got to

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: remind you can email the show anytime you want TPT

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: at TPUSA dot com. We will read some of those

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: emails later on in the show. People have been sending

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: memories and well wishes for Charlie. They've also been commenting

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: on some of the stories that we've talked about today,

29
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: and I would imagine, especially if you read Charlie's book,

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: The College Scam, you will have some thoughts on what

31
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: The New York Times is saying that effectively agrees with.

32
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,279
Speaker 2: What he said.

33
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: Again, TPT at TPUSA dot com for all of your emails. Now,

34
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: before we get to the other stories of the day,

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: got to get to what I think is the biggest

36
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: story of the day. Turning Point USA has named a

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: new CEO and Chair of the board, Erica Kirk. It

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: only seems fitting, It makes the most sense. Erica is

39
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: one of the strongest, bravest, most courageous women that I've

40
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: had the pleasure of meeting, and I think everybody in

41
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: the Turning Point universe is I don't want to say

42
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: excited about this, because we understand that it comes at

43
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: an awful time and because of an awful thing, but

44
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: nobody I think it could come in and do what

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Erica will do. Everyone is excited about her taking the

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: mantle and continuing to run. Obviously, nobody can fill Charlie's shoes.

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: He was one of a kind. He was one of

48
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: the most unique individuals to walk the planet. If we're

49
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: being honest, we recognize there's no replacing Charlie. But Erica

50
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: is going to do a fantastic job. I will say this,

51
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: and I've said this so many times during the week.

52
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: In the face of horrific and in unimaginable grief, Erica

53
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: has been unbelievably impressive. I've said I couldn't do what

54
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: she has done in the timeframe that she's been able

55
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: to do it. You know, when she came out on

56
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Friday and said I'm doing a press conference and stood

57
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: up there like a brick wall and gave an eloquent speech,

58
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: I said, I couldn't have done that. So you know,

59
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: everybody in the Turning Point community is on board. Erica

60
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: Kirk is the correct choice. Welcome in the new CEO

61
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: and chairman of the board, Erica Kirk. I'm excited to

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: see what she does with the organization, and I don't

63
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: want to be too disparaging. I'm excited to see how

64
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: she will crush all of the libs. You know why

65
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: I know she's going to do that because of this

66
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: clip that was floating around that I decided to pull

67
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: of Charlie and Erica interacting on the Charlie Kirk Show.

68
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: This is why I think, I mean, among many other reasons,

69
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: obviously the strength she's shown shown throughout all of this,

70
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: but this is why I think Turning Point is going

71
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: to be a assive player for the foreseeable future, especially

72
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: with Erica at the helm.

73
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: Watch the clip one my wife joins us Erica Kirk,

74
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: the beautiful legendary.

75
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: Erica, I love you so much.

76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: I love you.

77
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: You're my best friend.

78
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Charlie Kirkshaw. We have asked the audience

79
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: for questions.

80
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: You pick one who is more conservative and why Erica?

81
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: Yes, by far, not even close. I am a moderate

82
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 3: to Erica.

83
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 5: Andrew always jokes, so once you got married to me,

84
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 5: you got more base.

85
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: That's true. That is true. No, Erica is very conservative.

86
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: Do you think having kids made you more conservative?

87
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: In which I didn't think was possible.

88
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: But one percent?

89
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 6: Absolutely?

90
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 2: And do you and a better wife?

91
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: So there you have it, Charlie himself saying that Erica

92
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: is more conservative.

93
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: Than he is.

94
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: He also asked, you know, has having kids made you

95
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: more conservative? She said, yeah, you know, hard to believe,

96
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: but yes, has, which I just you know, I think

97
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: I've mentioned it on the show before. When I first

98
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: told Charlie my wife and I ever having a daughter,

99
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: the first thing he said was that'll radicalize you.

100
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 2: Yep.

101
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: It's hard to imagine something that has been more true

102
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: that he's ever said to me personally. But that is accurate.

103
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Turning point. Nobody has any doubt. Nobody had any doubt

104
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Erica is going to lead this organization. We were in

105
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: great hands. Part of the the press release, the turning

106
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: point put out reminded people that you know of Charlie's

107
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think probably most famous, saying, you know,

108
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: we have a country to say it. Also said accurately,

109
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: we will not surrender or kneel before evil. We will

110
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: carry on the attempt to destroy Charlie's work will become

111
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: our chance to make it more powerful and more enduring

112
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: than ever before, which again I don't know how much

113
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: I need to reiterate it. Erica is going to do

114
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: a fantastic. Every single person in the Turning Point family

115
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: is behind her one hundred percent, and we are very

116
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: excited for what the future holds. Now, speaking of the future,

117
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: what the future will not consist of is the Jimmy

118
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: Kimmel Show.

119
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's so sad.

120
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: Everybody's shedding tears for the Jimmy Kimmel Show. You know,

121
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: unless you're watching this show, in which case I would

122
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: imagine you're laughing or clapping in your couch, which I

123
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: would agree with. Now, I would like to dispel or

124
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: debunk some of the things that the libs have been saying.

125
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: If you've been on the internet at all today, which okay,

126
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: I don't want to bury the lead here In case

127
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: you don't know, Jimmy Kimmel has been pulled off ABC.

128
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: He's been suspended indefinitely. I'm saying it's fired because you're

129
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: if you're aware of how the media works, when you're

130
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: suspended indefinitely, usually.

131
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: That means you gone.

132
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: ABC has taken Jimmy Kimmel off the air, and the

133
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: libs are losing their mind about it.

134
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: They are saying, oh.

135
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: My gosh, I can't believe the censorship coming from the

136
00:06:58,839 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: Trump administration.

137
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: Oh, is it censorship coming from the Trump administration? What

138
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: specifically did they do to censor Jimmy Kimmel. Now the

139
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: argument is being made that while the chair of the

140
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: FCC said, hey, you know, if you'll keep allowing this

141
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: sort of incredibly slanted behavior on public airwaves, we may

142
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: have to take a look at the licenses, which is

143
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: clear and obvious. The question is did that actually happen.

144
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: Did there was there the FCC saying nope, your licenses

145
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: are gone. They're revoked because we do have a system

146
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: for that, which we'll get to in a little bit.

147
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: By the way, spoiler alert, the answers, no, they didn't

148
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: say that. Let's check into some other reasons as to

149
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: why Jimmy Kimmel may have been fired outside of the

150
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: authoritarian censorship that the libs are claiming happen. Before that,

151
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: let me actually set this up by playing the clip

152
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: in question. Now the is much longer, and some libs,

153
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: the dumber ones, are making the case of well, they're

154
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: being attacked because he made a joke about President Trump.

155
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: No he didn't.

156
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: Nobody thinks that, not even the smart people on the

157
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: left side of the aisle actually think that so that

158
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: argument is bunk. We won't even play the entire clip.

159
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: It's just the clip that is in question as to

160
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: why Jimmy Kimmel is being fired. Playclip one.

161
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 7: We hit some new lows over the weekend with the

162
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 7: Magga Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered

163
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 7: Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and

164
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 7: everything they can to score political points from and in

165
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 7: between the.

166
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: Figures, Yeah, that's insane. That's an insane thing to say.

167
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: With no evidence whatsoever, Jimmy is asserting effectively that the

168
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: shooter Charlie's assassin.

169
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: Oh, he's a Charlie fan. And not only did he

170
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: say that, he said it as if.

171
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: Well, you know, everybody knows that it's obvious, you know,

172
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: because we all know this to be true in the smug, condescending,

173
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: elitist way that he often talks. Well, what are the

174
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: other reasons that Disney may have decided, Nah, this is

175
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: not something we want to be a part of. Well,

176
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: from the peak of his ratings, he has lost between

177
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: forty six and fifty eight percent.

178
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: In other words, well over half of the.

179
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: Audience he had at the peak of his show are gone,

180
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: and that is consistent across all of the late night

181
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: talk shows. Stephen Colbert, they said, well, Trump is trying

182
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: to censor knows his show costs forty million dollars and

183
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: was losing money every year. It's just a simple financial question.

184
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel was also making fifteen million dollars a year.

185
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: His contract was up in May, and his ratings were down.

186
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: Maybe this was just an excuse to say, yeah, this

187
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: is this is not okay, and we're just gonna get

188
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: out of this before we are required to renegotiate with

189
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: a show that is losing probably tens of millions of

190
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: dollars per year. But also I want to dig into

191
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: the geographic public airways distributors or owners.

192
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: So while the FCC, what we'll start.

193
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: While the left is blaming the FCC, what actually happened

194
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: was companies like Sinclair and Nextstar, which are broadcasting organizations

195
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: that carry those public airwaves and therefore the Jimmy Kimmel

196
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: Show in a bunch of different places all over the country.

197
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: Those are the guys that were putting pressure on Jimmy Kimmel. Okay, well,

198
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: why would they have done that? Well, of course, we

199
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: just talked about his ratings going down, But a lot

200
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: of those Sinclair and Nextstar broadcasting stations are in the

201
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: middle of the country. And if you think for a

202
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: second that those types of insensitive and just flat out

203
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: inaccurate words from the former so called comedian were okay

204
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: with the people in the middle of the country, you're

205
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to think again, because in no way, shape

206
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: or form do I think the majority of the people

207
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: that are served the ABC Late Night show by Next

208
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: Star or Sinclair are okay with that. There's no way

209
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: that those people actually think that that is okay. Next

210
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: Star and Sinclair both issued statements saying, hey, we're gonna

211
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: not run this show on our platforms.

212
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 2: Only then did.

213
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: Disney decide, yeah, we actually do need to pull this

214
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: because it turns out it's a bad business decision. Now,

215
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: if the FCC said to Disney, hey, we are pulling

216
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: your license because we don't like this thing that he said, honestly,

217
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: I would probably be irritated at that too. And don't

218
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: you think haven't you heard enough stories of federal judge

219
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: blocks the Trump administration, and don't you think that would

220
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: happen in this particular instance. If the FCC said, hey,

221
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: we're pulling your license. You can't be on the air

222
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: because you said something that we didn't like. There is

223
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: a process for that. They can easily file a lawsuit,

224
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: which I'm sure they have done already in a number

225
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: of other situations, and the courts would work it out

226
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: whether or not the administration actually has the power to

227
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: do that. But again, that didn't happen. The Libs are

228
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: only saying, well, that might have happened. They're alluding to

229
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: that happened, which, you know, maybe even could give cover

230
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: for the business decision of ripping Jimmy off the air

231
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: because nobody watched him anymore, and the affiliates in the

232
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: middle part of the country thought, this is the last straw.

233
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: This is the line too far, this cannot continue. Bottom

234
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: line here is when the FCC is saying that, well, hey,

235
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: this is we're gonna have to take a look at this,

236
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: in no way, shape or form does that give the

237
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: Libs the right to say, well, specifically, this is authoritarian censorship. Eh,

238
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: business decision guy made a bad joke. Things happen kind

239
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: of happens all the time, really, and he got fired

240
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: for doing so. And to be quite honest, Like we

241
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: talked about earlier in the week, what he said, in

242
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: my opinion, is an opposition to the societal truth that

243
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: we all hold. And for that reason, bye bye.

244
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: You can email the.

245
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: Show anytime you want tpt at TPUSA dot com. We

246
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: love seeing all of your emails, especially if they're you know,

247
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: memories of Charlie or anything that you've said or would

248
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: like to say to the Kirk family. More broadly, we'll

249
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: get to some of those emails later on in the show.

250
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: In addition to that, you can I think still buy

251
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: America Fest tickets. I think the website is still up.

252
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: And the only reason I say this is because there

253
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: have been so many tickets sold. I actually genuinely don't know.

254
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to get the specific numbers, but

255
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 1: the amount of tickets that have been sold have been unbelievable.

256
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: The response has been unimaginable from the entire country, it

257
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: has been fantastic. I think we're at like fifteen thousand

258
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: tickets sold to that. So I again want to encourage

259
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: you to go amfest dot com buy your tickets for

260
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: December's America Fest event in Phoenix. And I don't know

261
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: that you can.

262
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: Actually get them.

263
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: I should double check on that, so we'll be right

264
00:13:54,480 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: back after the break. Don't go away, Welcome back to

265
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: Turning Point tonight.

266
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: We're together.

267
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: We are charting the course of America's cultural comeback. You

268
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: can email the show as always at TPT TPUSA dot com.

269
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: TPT at tpusa dot com. Send you your thoughts on

270
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. I don't know what do you think.

271
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: Should Jimmy Kimmel have been fired? I say yes, and

272
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: if you disagree, you're wrong.

273
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding.

274
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: We love seeing all of your emails, especially those who

275
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: are remembering Charlie and sending well wishes to the Kirk family.

276
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: TPT at tpusa dot com. I'm also curious about your

277
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: thoughts on this. It's fascinating sometimes to see when something

278
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: is stated in the conservative movement, in this particular case

279
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: by Charlie, and then over the course of time you

280
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: start to see, oh, well, that was right, that was accurate,

281
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: that was correct. Charlie wrote a book about a year

282
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: ago called The College Scam. We all know that he

283
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: went to college campuses and he would debate with college students,

284
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: and several of those students would say, you think.

285
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: What I'm doing here is a scam? Go in my

286
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: PhD and.

287
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: Animal gender studies or you know, equestrian biogender woke some

288
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

289
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: Just make up your.

290
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: Own crazy degree, uh, and just assume that some of

291
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: these kids are actually getting a degree in that that

292
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: actually would be a fun game. You could probably you know,

293
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: find a chart with all of the words on it,

294
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: like gender inequity. Uh, think of your laundry list of

295
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: buzzwords for libs and then you could probably like pick

296
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: five words and that you could probably find that as

297
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: a major on a college campus in some some universities somewhere.

298
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: But aside from all of that, Charlie would be fervently

299
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: make the argument that college is a scam, that kids

300
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: were paying an exorbitant amount of money for something that

301
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't actually result in gainful employment, you know, outside of

302
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: being a barista at Starbucks. And that's not really to

303
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: throw shade at anybody who's a barristed at Starbucks. That's

304
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: just to sayye, you shouldn't have spent one hundred thousand dollars

305
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: getting your PhD in intersectionality or lesbian feminism or whatever

306
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: it is that they get degrees and nowadays, Well, all

307
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: that is to say is that, you know, several months,

308
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: even several years later, we're starting to see the data

309
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: trickle in that. Yeah, Charlie was right. College does seem

310
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: to be a scam. This is from the New York Times.

311
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: Long term unemployment, people who've been out of work for

312
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: more than six months a large the largest proportion of

313
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: that group is now college graduates. Nearly twenty six percent,

314
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: one in four college graduates are now now make up

315
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: the statistic of people who have been out of work

316
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: long term unemployment for up to six months.

317
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: Wow. Who could have seen that coming?

318
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: Especially with I'm not going to start making up any

319
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: more gender studies majors. I really, I think you probably

320
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: get the points in naming those ridiculous things. But who

321
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: could have seen this coming? With all of the majors

322
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: that colleges now charge exorbitant amounts of money for. And

323
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: we'll get to some of the costs here in a

324
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: little bit, But I thought this was really interesting. The

325
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: New York Times went on to say there are simply

326
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: more college graduates today than there were ten years ago,

327
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: kind of diagnosing the problem, which is what Charlie was saying. Hey, look,

328
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: anybody can get into college, and if you just pay

329
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: enough money, you will be able to quote unquote get

330
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: a degree. And also the federal government for some reason

331
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: will give you loans. There are people that are predatory

332
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: lenders that will give an eighteen year old one hundred

333
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in loans. And guess what, Now you're stuck.

334
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: Those loans don't go away. If you file for bankruptcy,

335
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: you are stuck in a financial position that is not

336
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: advantageous to you in any way, shape or form.

337
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: The New York Times is saying.

338
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: Now they're just more college graduates, so they can't get

339
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: the jobs that they would have been able to get

340
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: before colleges lost their mind. Employers also appear to have

341
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: less need for college educated workers, driven by technological change, automation,

342
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: and most recently, this is where I think is funny

343
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: and I don't agree with this, but this is in

344
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: the New York Times, president Trump's cut to federal workers

345
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: and funding. Again, I think this is kind of like

346
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: a self owned there, like, oh, you can't I can't

347
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: believe this. College woke college gender studies majors aren't needed

348
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: anymore because President Trump cut the funding that the things

349
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: that didn't matter, and we're wasting taxpayer dollars and now

350
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: our gender studies into sectionality. Feminist lesbian history majors are

351
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: out of work.

352
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: Oh no, here's.

353
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: An anecdote that the New York Times had in here.

354
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: I don't need to say her name has been out

355
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: of works. This girl in the Portland area has been

356
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: out of work for almost a year and has applied

357
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: to more than three thousand jobs. She says, I checked

358
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: all the boxes of quote unquote success in my life.

359
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: I went to college, got a degree, and worked towards

360
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: a career, which I think is the perfect argument that

361
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: Charlie would make in college as a scam.

362
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: They told you that.

363
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: This is what you need to do, and lo and behold,

364
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: it didn't work. Not to mention, the average cost of

365
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: college tuition and fees over the last twenty years is

366
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: up one hundred and forty one percent to one hundred

367
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: and seventy nine percent. In other words, almost really see

368
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: almost two hundred percent at the upper ends. College has

369
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: increased in expense over the last twenty years, and the

370
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: question of whether or not it increased in value is

371
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: clearly no. As this New York Times article would exemplify.

372
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: Soh Yet another case, a conservative says, hey, this is

373
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: a problem, we should probably fix it, and years later

374
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: the data catches up and says, oh, yeah, this actually

375
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: was correct. College is in fact a scam, and a

376
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: quarter of a quarter of all of the people that

377
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: are on long term unemployment now have college degrees. It's

378
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: not too late. You can leave college, or you can

379
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: go to trade school, or you can learn a skill.

380
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: Whatever you do, you don't have to stay in the

381
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: situation that you're in. But like we mentioned in college

382
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: seems to be a scam for so many people. Now

383
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: I want to talk about another scam. I don't know

384
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: if scam is necessarily the right word, but hilarious irony

385
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: might be. And that is of the Ben and Jerry's

386
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: Communist ice cream brand. If you don't know this, Jerry

387
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: has left Ben and Jerry's.

388
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: Again.

389
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: We're all so sad and devastated because you know, we

390
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: were all pulling for Ben and Jerry to stay together.

391
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: Quite honestly, I just found out that they're not a

392
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: gay couple. They're just business partners, or at least I'm

393
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: led to believe that. But regardless, still sad that the

394
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: divorce of Ben and Jerry is happening. Well, why is

395
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: Jerry leaving Ben and Jerry's. In his resignation letter, This

396
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: is according to NPR posted on Tuesday, Jerry Greenfield said

397
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: he's been silenced, sidelined out of fear of upsetting those

398
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: in power. Oh no, I can't believe that has happened,

399
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: that the communist has been silenced by those in power.

400
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: The question, though, is why are they in power?

401
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: Why is there any sort of power over an independent

402
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: business that has grown their company and they've done really well.

403
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm not even knocking Ben and Jerry's as an ice cream.

404
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: I kind of enjoy their ice cream, to be honest

405
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: with you, and bruces are glad even body. They do

406
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: have some witty names. You know, you might not agree

407
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: with the political elements of it. Jerry Garcia Cherry Garcia. Wow,

408
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: that's a kind of a fun name. What was the

409
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: other one that he's sent empower mint? Yeah, how you

410
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: get it?

411
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: I get it.

412
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: I get the joke. I think the ice cream is good.

413
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: But also, why, Jerry, of Ben and Jerry's do you

414
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: have do you feel censored? Well, it's because the people

415
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: that fight for social justice and inequality In two thousand

416
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: sold their company for three hundred and twenty six million dollars.

417
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: Why is it that communists always end up accidentally getting rich? Look, dude,

418
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: if you take three hundred and twenty six million dollars,

419
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: which by the way, is a six hundred and seven

420
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: million dollars, if you just for inflation, in other words,

421
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: a lot of freaking money.

422
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 2: You know, you just for inflation to kind of like

423
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: give the relative balance. But even now, three.

424
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: Hundred twenty six million dollars is a lot of money,

425
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: So I don't even think you need to adjust for

426
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: inflation as a whole.

427
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: But if you take that money from those capitalist pigs, yeah,

428
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 2: you're gonna have some parameters. You know what doesn't give

429
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 2: you parameters if you don't.

430
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: Take the money, if you stay independent, and maybe you

431
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: don't grow as fast, and maybe you have a little

432
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: bit more difficulty getting into stores. And I realized there's

433
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 1: a lot of different variables going on here. But what

434
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: you can't do is say that, Hey, I'm being censored

435
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: and silenced by the people that gave me.

436
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: Three hundred and twenty six million dollars.

437
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: You know what, I'll be silent for half. Somebody cut

438
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: me a check for one hundred and what is that

439
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: sixty three million dollars? Somebody check my math on that

440
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: email tpt ATPUSA dot com for one hundred and sixty

441
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: three million dollars. I will stay silent and happily do

442
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: By the way, I'll go buy a big ranch somewhere

443
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: and just run cattle for the rest of my days.

444
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: That sounds that sounds fantastic. Where do I sign up?

445
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: Bottom line of this, The libs consistently, for some reason

446
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: or another, feel like I'm being silenced. But you dig

447
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: a little bit and you always find out that, yeah,

448
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: you know, you didn't need to be Maybe maybe the

449
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: powers that be, maybe the boss is over there at Unilever,

450
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,239
Speaker 1: which is the company that bought them for again three

451
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six million dollars, are saying, yeah, maybe

452
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, lay low a little bit on these super

453
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: divisive political issues. It's affecting our bottom line. Oh, you

454
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't have that if you actually held to your values

455
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: of equity and whatever the heck they're talking about.

456
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: So there's that.

457
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: Bye bye, Jerry, And again I'm sorry for either your

458
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: divorce or just leaving the company. Again, I'm not entirely

459
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: sure what the relationship there is. Like coming up, we're

460
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: gonna talk to Monica Page Turning Points, White House Correspondent.

461
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: President Trump has declared a group that doesn't exist, according

462
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: to Joe Biden, a domestic terror group, which actually, you know,

463
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: probably needed to be done. But we'll check in with

464
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: Monica Page Turning Points, White House Correspondent. And also we're,

465
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: like I said, difficult time to navigate here, but we're

466
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: gonna continue to laugh at the ridiculous nonsense that is

467
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: put in front of us by the Libs. That'll be

468
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: right after the break, so don't go. I'll be right back.

469
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Turning Point. Tonight, we're together. We are

470

Speaker 1: We're gonna get to more of your emails later on

473
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: in the show. You know, I would love to first

474
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: of all, thank all of you for bearing with us

475
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: through the changes that are kind of being made to

476
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: the form mad and kind of how we're doing this.

477
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: One thing that I know that won't change, though, is

478
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: our check ins with Turning Points White House correspondent Monica Page,

479
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: Monica Page. You know, there's a lot of stuff going

480
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: on in the world, but that doesn't mean the White

481
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: House kind of stops what they're doing. One of the

482
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: big announcements that I think the President made today as

483
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: of recently as Antifa is now a domestic terrorist organization. Now,

484
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: according to Joe Biden, Antifa doesn't exist. They all of

485
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: those buildings in Portland just kind of broke windows on

486
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: their own, the hundred Knights of rioting there is just yeah,

487
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: just kind of people out there, you know, doing their thing.

488
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 2: What is he saying?

489
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: What does this mean that Antifa is now a domestic

490
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: terrorist organization?

491
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 4: Yeah?

492
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 5: I mean they were just peaceful protesters, right, I mean

493
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 5: it was you know.

494
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 6: They're just being peaceful.

495
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 5: They're just you know, exercising their First Amendment right through violence.

496
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 5: Of course it's always justified on the left. But I

497
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 5: think this is a significant move from this administration because

498
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 5: for far too long we've seen what anti does. I mean,

499
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 5: if you hadn't seen it in La Portland, Seattle, then

500
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 5: you're sure as heck seeing it now with these attacks

501
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 5: on you know, more moderate right wing influencers, conservatives, I

502
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 5: mean even our own president of the United States.

503
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 6: But what is going to be.

504
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 5: Interesting, Joe, Bob and I'm very interested to see how

505
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 5: this is going to play out. Is that antifa is

506
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 5: a short name for anti fascists, as we know, but

507
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 5: it's it's not actually a name of an organization it

508
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 5: they're decentralized intentionally for reasons like this. So putting a

509
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 5: stop to money, which is what the President is looking

510
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 5: at right now, like all these NGOs.

511
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 6: That maybe funnel money to these specific.

512
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 5: Organizations that maybe we don't know about, these underground groups

513
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 5: that put up flyers and propaganda and funding equipment, funding

514
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 5: the gas mesks, all the kinds.

515
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 6: Of things that we see at these protests.

516
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 5: So putting a stop to the money helps. But finding

517
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 5: and pinpointing specific people is not going to be easy.

518
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 5: As you know, they always hide the faces, they go

519
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 5: by different names, they're all these different serve so it's

520
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 5: gonna be a little tricky. But it's a great step forward,

521
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 5: and honestly, I think it should have been done sooner.

522
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that gives them more leverage to

523
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: find out, Hey, where did this big palette of bricks

524
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: come on the side of the streets in Minneapolis that

525
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: were used to be thrown through the window of this

526
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: AutoZone or whatever it is. Yeah, I think if it

527
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: aids them in figuring that out, I totally agree with you.

528
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 2: It's not going to be easy.

529
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: It's going to be a difficult task, especially when you

530
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: have half the country denying that they exist and then

531
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 1: also saying, well, they're anti fascists. They're just doing, you know,

532
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: everything that fascists would do by trying to block free speech.

533
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, it'll be a really interesting to watch play out.

534
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: Monica President was also in the UK recently, the biggest

535
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: table I think I've ever seen at the UK State dinner.

536
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: Tell us about what was going on there, you know,

537
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: anything discussed that was interesting between the President and the King.

538
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts.

539
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 5: Well, it was a very beautiful reception as you saw,

540
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 5: I mean, and the first Lady looked incredible as well.

541
00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 6: Everyone was dressed to the nines.

542
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 5: But what I thought was probably one of the most

543
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 5: interesting things is that the banquet table, like you just mentioned,

544
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 5: it was one hundred and fifty five feet long, There

545
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 5: were one hundred and thirty nine candles, and the main

546
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 5: course was chicken Vallantine.

547
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 6: I don't think I've ever had that. If you asked

548
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 6: me who that is, I don't think I can tell you.

549
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 4: What that is.

550
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 5: I don't know what that entails. But we know the

551
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 5: President does not drink alcohol, you know. I think his

552
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 5: brother was an alcoholic. But after dinner, guests were served

553
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 5: this nineteen forty five vintage port in honor of the President,

554
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 5: and also a nineteen twelve Cognac from President Trump's mother's

555
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 5: birth year. So they really found ways to honor him,

556
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 5: really thoughtful. Of course, he saw that awesome flyover as well,

557
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 5: but he was really well received there. I think that

558
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 5: the royal family and the monarchy over there has a

559
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 5: great relationship with the President, inviting him, welcoming him.

560
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 6: With open arms.

561
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 5: They even played like a little bit of music during

562
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 5: I think during the dinner. You can't always get what

563
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 5: you want by rolling Stones and tiny Dancer. So of

564
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 5: course the President loves his classics.

565
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 6: And I think he's on his way back now.

566
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 5: I think he's departing as we speak, heading over to JBA.

567
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 5: He's landing around eight thirty pm Eastern time, so by

568
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 5: the time your show airs tonight, he'll likely be riding

569
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 5: right back at the White House and ready for ready

570
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 5: to head over to Arizona this weekend.

571
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: Monica, I'm gonna ask you to put on your editorial hat.

572
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: Does it count if you're sitting at that dinner table.

573
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: Do you get to tell your friends, oh, I had

574
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 1: dinner with the President of the United States. Or if

575
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: you're one hundred and fifty feet away from him.

576
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: Does that Does that really count?

577
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: Is that like something that you can say, oh, yeah,

578
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: we sat at the President's table, you know, half a

579
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: football field away.

580
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 5: Yes, it still counts.

581
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 6: I mean if you can still kind of see him. Yeah.

582
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 5: When whenever i'm hoever I see the President, I'm like, yeah,

583
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 5: I was hanging out with the President on the South Lawn,

584
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 5: No big deal. So I think anytime you could say

585
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 5: you got to be with the president in some capacity,

586
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 5: I think you take that opportunity.

587
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

588
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: Well, if that's the standard, I'm currently with the president

589
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: as we were both on planet Earth. So thank you,

590
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: mister President for hanging out. I really appreciate you beet here.

591
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: Monica Page Turning Points, whitt House correspondent, thanks so much

592
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: for checking in.

593
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 2: Thanks guys, thank you.

594
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna check it in with Monica, you know,

595
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: I know we've been kind of flipping the script here

596
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: on the format of this show, but one thing that's

597
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: never gonna go away is reacting to and playing to

598
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: you some hilarious videos from the libs and well.

599
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 2: Mocking them because they deserve mockery.

600
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: I think maybe that'll be like the show's kind of

601
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: quote is the Saint Thomas Moore, the devil cannot endure

602
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: to be mocked. You know, in that light I mentioned before,

603
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: Charlie loved to laugh and make fun of people saying

604
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: ridiculous things, not necessarily fun of them, but the ideas

605
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: that they were espousing and the ridiculous nature in which

606
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: they were espousing them. So with this, it's none other

607
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: than Brendan Johnson, the Communists.

608
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: I don't know what he is. He's he's well, I'm

609
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: not gonna go that far.

610
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: I probably could braind him with some terms that definitionally

611
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: would be accurate, but for now we'll just call him

612
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: a crazy person. The mayor of Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson,

613
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: talking about crime in the neighborhood and what works and

614
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: what doesn't, jails and.

615
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 8: Incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not

616
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 8: led to safe communities. I'm going to work hard every

617
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 8: single day to protect the people who are caught up

618
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 8: and violence in the city. Guess why. You want to

619
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 8: know why?

620
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: Because the vast majority of them look like me.

621
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: Maybe that is an admission that the mayor is making

622
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 1: that he is doing all of the violence. You know,

623
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: I maybe that's just what he's saying. But just I mean,

624
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: step back for a little bit, put yourself in the

625
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: mindset of somebody who thinks like that, and try and

626
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: figure out how you can might maybe get there yourself. Jailing,

627
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: incarceration and law enforcement doesn't work, So what than Brandon?

628
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: So what then next?

629
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: It's easy to say that, well, okay, there are flaws

630
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: in that system, and I probably agree with him. There

631
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: probably are some flaws in the system. My problems flaws

632
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: might be the efficiency of the system. You need to

633
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: put more people in jail because more people are breaking

634
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: the laws, so you need to build more prisons put

635
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: more people in jail. We could probably agree though, that

636
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: there are some flaws in the system. But then to

637
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: say that these thrinks jailing incarceration, which by the way,

638
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: the same thing, and policing and law enforcement is well,

639
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: it just doesn't work, Okay, then what do we get

640
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: rid of them?

641
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: You have to propose a solution.

642
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: If you're going to paint this as such a big problem,

643
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: if law enforcement is such a big problem, what do

644
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: you propose is the solution outside of well, I guess

645
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: we just let everybody do anything they want and we'll

646
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: have anarchar anarchy.

647
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: Cool, cool Brandon.

648
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: I would love to see what he actually thinks would

649
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: be a good idea. Speaking of people who say some

650
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: crazy things, we've made fun of Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett on

651
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: this show for as long as we've been on the air,

652
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: and guess what, we're not going to stop by the

653
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: way too. I fully recognize that playing clips from Congresswoman

654
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: Crockett galvanizes people on the right side of the aisle.

655
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 1: You don't really have to make arguments against most of

656
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: what she says. I sometimes wonder if she is aware

657
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 1: of the benefit that she is giving the people that

658
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: she so fervently disagrees with by saying things like this.

659
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 9: Director, and frankly, when people sit around and say things like, oh,

660
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 9: you know, we're happy because now we feel safe, I

661
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 9: don't know who feels safe in this country except for

662
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 9: the white supremacist because I, specifically as a black woman,

663
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 9: definitely don't feel.

664
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 2: Okay.

665
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: Again, I don't know how much of a response do

666
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: we actually need to give this. Seriously, no one feels

667
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: safe in this country.

668
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 2: Okay.

669
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: First of all, thank you for proving our point that

670
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: law and order is a problem. That is why the

671
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: American people elected President Trump. I would agree with you, Yeah,

672
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: law and order is a significant issue that we need

673
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: to get under control. But then to say, well, the

674
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: only people that are safe in this country are white supremacists. Okay,

675
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, we can continue to rollrize. But again she

676
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: categorizes anybody who is to the right of freaking I

677
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: don't know Robert Wright a white supremacist. Robert Wight is

678
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: the finance guy from the Clinton administration. Short little dude

679
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: who very big mouth, often wrong about everything he says. Anyway,

680
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: very very left kind of guy. Anybody to the right

681
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: of him is a white supremacist in Congressman Crockett's eyes.

682
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: So all right, good luck with good luck with that

683
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: and the way that you look at the world. Congressman Crockett, also,

684
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: thank you for agreeing with us that crime is a

685
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: big problem. This country, and that is why the American

686
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: people elected Donald Trump and are continuing to elect conservative

687
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: leaders across the country because nobody feels safe, especially who

688
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go there. Coming up after the break,

689
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to Alex Stein Primetime, Stein ninety nine.

690
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 2: I just like saying it. I like saying it.

691
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: You have a really interesting discussion on you know, comedy,

692
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: especially in a moment like this. You know, I've said

693
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: a number of times Charlie loved to laugh, and at

694
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: a certain point we were going to get back to

695
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: the full throated laughter that we had for so long.

696
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 2: And it might make some might make some libs mad.

697
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

698
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 5: I'm mad.

699
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be about that. How sad I'm gonna be

700
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 2: about that.

701
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: You can also email the show anytime you want TBT

00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,560

00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,120

704
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,239

706
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: to turning Point.

707
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 2: Tonight.

708
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: We're together. We are charting the course of America's cultural comeback.

711
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: in the show TPT at TPUSA dot com. I want

712
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: to bring in friend of the Show, Friend at Turning

713
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: Point in Friend of Charlie Alex Stein Primetime Stein ninety

714
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: nine is all of the names, well not all of

715
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: the names. I'm sure there's several other names that people

716
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: would know you buy, but Alex appreciate you taking the time.

717
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 10: You know, it's funny that you say the name thing

718
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 10: because it was actually kind of scary. I mean, it's

719
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 10: only scary because of the situation that's going on, but

720
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 10: you know, obviously the tragedy with Charlie was so bad.

721
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 10: But this is just two days ago. I'm walking and

722
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 10: I walk around the airport in Dallas. It's Bockman Lake,

723
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 10: and a guy starts yelling and he's kind of yelling

724
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 10: from far away, and he doesn't have shoes on, and

725
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 10: he's like a white guy and just looks weird. He

726
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 10: didn't look like he's necessarily homeless, but I don't see

727
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 10: his shoes around, no shoes, his pants on in a shirt,

728
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 10: and he's like.

729
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 4: Ronnie, Ronnie Ronnie, and I'm like, what the hell, why

730
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 4: is this guy calling me Ronnie?

731
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 10: I'm like getting scared because of the situation is so intense, right,

732
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 10: I'm like, why is this guy yelling at me Ronnie?

733
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 4: And by the time he gets closer, he's like Ronnie

734
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 4: the Rat.

735
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 10: And I was like, oh, yeah, because I wore a

736
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 10: furry I didn't even and there was a viral video

737
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 10: I was Ronnie the Rat. But I was still I

738
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 10: was so spook because I couldn't even remember that aided

739
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 10: Ronnie the Rat. So yeah, and I was just more tense,

740
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 10: intense because of what's going on. Some guy's yelling at

741
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 10: me calling me a name I didn't know. I was

742
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 10: just shook, but yeah, this just happened. But yeah, that's

743
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 10: the name thing that just happened.

744
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you got all the names you got again,

745
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: I probably even can't even say all of them on here,

746
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: but you're gonna have to brush up on all of those,

747
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: especially especially when you're.

748
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 2: Out in public.

749
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: Alex, you so you, I mean jokingly would do Charlie Kirt,

750
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: not Charlie Kirk and go to college campuses and kind

751
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: of do a similar thing, you know, be funny about

752
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: it because obviously your funny guy. You even had a

753
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: video with Charlie recently at the Tampa event that we

754
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: probably should have pulled, but you can go find it

755
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: on any of your social accounts. But you know, what

756
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: is your approach to this now? I mean, first things first,

757
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, if there's anything you'd like to say Charlie specific,

758
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: we've been you know, letting people talk about their relationship

759
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: with him, but also to you know, you were kind

760
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: of you're doing a very similar thing, and how do

761
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: you think any of this affects you and kind of

762
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: how you go forward?

763
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 10: Well, well, selfishly, it affects me tremendously because you know,

764
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 10: I could just say it was Charlie Kurt and the

765
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 10: kids would be confused and think I was Charlie Kurk

766
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 10: for a second.

767
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 4: So then we'd get in crowd.

768
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 10: And then if I just kind of said some crazy stuff,

769
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 10: we're able to have a good event.

770
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 4: So and Charlie actually liked.

771
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 10: That because he knew that I would never say anything

772
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 10: because there were some parameters.

773
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 4: They put some guardrails.

774
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 10: There was times where you know, I had some representatives

775
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 10: from Turning Point, including Charlie, tell me, hey, you know,

776
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 10: maybe we should talk about this a little less than

777
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 10: this now that they ever limited my free speech. But

778
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 10: like when it came to trans issuers, a lot of

779
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 10: times people get sexual, you know. I'm just saying. My

780
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 10: point is, Charlie let me go out there and be

781
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 10: wide open, because he knew what I was doing was

782
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 10: funny and he had like such a good sense of humor,

783
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 10: and he appreciated that, you know, what I was doing

784
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 10: that the student's life, and that we were actually you know,

785
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 10: doing something on campus that people could you know, remember,

786
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 10: and it causes what Charlie wanted, like it causes a conversation.

787
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 4: So he actually liked it.

788
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 10: And so I'm I'm just I'm so sad that I

789
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 10: can never do that again, but I'm so happy. And

790
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 10: another selfish thing, that video where I pretended to say

791
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 10: I was Charlie Kurr at the most recent you know

792
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 10: sas in Tampa.

793
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 4: That video is like blowing up.

794
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 10: I mean it literally probably on my account alone, I

795
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 10: think it has like ten million viewers. And then all

796
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 10: these other people shared it, which I appreciate and I'm

797
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 10: sure Charlie does too, And so that, you know, it's

798
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 10: just very sad to think that you know those videos

799
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 10: are doing so well in such a tragic situation.

800
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, I wish, I wish, I wish I.

801
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 10: Could have done more Charlie Kurt because he actually likes it,

802
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 10: he actually responded to it, so he had such a

803
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 10: good sense of humor.

804
00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 4: People, Well that's.

805
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

806
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,479
Speaker 10: People might have taken Charlie truth seriously and I realized

807
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 10: he actually had a great sense of humor.

808
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and.

809
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: It's interesting, you know, I've been going through the archive

810
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,280
Speaker 1: and just kind of posting a bunch of different videos

811
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: of like these roundtables that we would do. We're just

812
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: laughing the whole time. And I've seen in my comment

813
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: section people like I never like the media never showed

814
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: him smiling, which I think is a really humanizing thing.

815
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: Real like it's humanizing to laugh. And you know, you

816
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: got to experience that, you know, doing the stuff that

817
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: you were doing. I got to experience that. And I

818
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: feel like a lot more people need to be aware

819
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,959
Speaker 1: that the guy. The guy had a sense of humor

820
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: and he laughed a lot of a bunch of different things,

821
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 1: and I think, again that's a real humanizing component.

822
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: But I think, you.

823
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,479
Speaker 1: Know, like speaking of laughter, I mean, we were talking

824
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: a little bit before we came on here kind of

825
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: in a weird position because I'm super sarcastic and snarky.

826
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: You're super sarcastic and snarky, like to make fun jokes

827
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: and make fun of things, and I think that's Charlie understood.

828
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 2: That that's how you get through to people.

829
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: But it's kind of difficult to navigate in such a

830
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: horrible situation that we're in. How do you see you know,

831
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: the the kind of comedic comeback or what the trajectory

832
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: looks like, you know, post again this this kind of

833
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: this obviously tragic event.

834
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 10: Well, you know, I hate that I even has to

835
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 10: say the answer, because this is just how I truly feel.

836
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 10: You know, this event was so incredibly tragic that were

837
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 10: we as comedians, like we should be able to make

838
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 10: jokes about anything, but just in the way that this happened,

839
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 10: you know, it's to the level.

840
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 4: Of nine to eleven or JFK.

841
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 10: I mean, it's so monumental to history, and I don't

842
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 10: even think people understand that. And that's kind of the

843
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 10: part that I don't get so mad at when people,

844
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 10: you know, try to get mad at Charlie Turk because

845
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 10: they just they're just too ignorant to understand the gravity

846
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 10: of the situation.

847
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 4: So of course they're going.

848
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 10: To say something uneducated and you know, not based in fact.

849
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 10: So my point is, it's just it's a it's a

850
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 10: very difficult thing to navigate because it was so tragic

851
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 10: and it was so bad, and it affected people so

852
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 10: greatly that you know, just right now there's gonna be

853
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 10: a time where we can joke around. But it's like,

854
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 10: I'm really having trouble with it because there's just so

855
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 10: much surrounding this and it's I, I this is bigger

856
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 10: than any.

857
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 4: Other shooting in the world, from Sandy Hook to whatever

858
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 4: this is going to be.

859
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 10: And you know what if this is why I'm getting

860
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 10: crazy And I don't want to get into any of

861
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 10: the conspiracy stuff, but now you know these hate speech

862
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 10: laws of Pambani wants to put in. That doesn't seem

863
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 10: like something Charlie would want from something that you know,

864
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 10: was such a tragic situation.

865
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 4: So I'm just saying, it's just it's a very scary

866
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 4: situation and I'm really worried about the future.

867
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think overall, it's kind of difficult to figure

868
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: out how to quarterback this and I think I don't

869
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: know you're feeling that too, But I think the bottom

870
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: line here, and I think you probably agree on this,

871
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 1: is just, you know, laughter needs to be a component

872
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: of that. I've always said that Charlie recognized that. I

873
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: think you could you could tell that, you know, he understood. Yeah,

874
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: people get changed through logic and reason and facts and

875
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: debate and all that sort of stuff, but they also

876
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: changed their mind, you know, being entertained, and I think

877
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: comedy is one of the best ways to do that.

878
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 2: And yeah, going.

879
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: Forward, it at a certain point, you know, Charlie would

880
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: have wanted us to keep on being this snarky, sarcastic,

881
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: comedy loving people that we are.

882
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 2: So any last thoughts ales.

883
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 10: Well, you know, no, I mean, this weekend is going

884
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 10: to be you know, you know, the memorial for Charlie Kirk.

885
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 10: That will be very emotional and that'll be sad, and

886
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 10: a lot of people will be there.

887
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 4: So I'm honored to go there.

888
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 10: I can't believe that, you know, it's going to be

889
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 10: in a football stadium that's pretty amazing.

890
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 4: A memorial and something like that.

891
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 10: So it's just a sad, sad day the world's worse off,

892
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 10: but nothing we can do but keep going on.

893
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 4: It's just the gravity of the situation.

894
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 10: People might not understand this is, you know, will change

895
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 10: the course of history very dramatically.

896
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I totally agree. Yeah, the football stadium is is.

897
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: I can't think of anybody who had their funeral Michael

898
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: Jackson had his funeral in Arena. I'm not trying to,

899
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, make comparisons here of just saying this is

900
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: it's an unbelievable outpouring of respect from really the entire country.

901
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 10: Well, I mean even I was listening to Glenn back

902
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 10: host Charlie Showing. He said that he hadn't seen anything

903
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 10: like this since Elvis or Princess Diana, and that's kind.

904
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 4: Of what this is.

905
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: Like.

906
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 10: This is like Elvis and Princess Diana. And you might

907
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 10: be a too younger member of Princess Diana, like that

908
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 10: was a huge deal, and this is like that.

909
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 4: This is like that.

910
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 10: It's just like a person that a lot of people loved,

911
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 10: and even the people that weren't his biggest fans, still

912
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 10: a lot of people are just so empathetic to Eric

913
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 10: and his family and the tragedy that we all witnessed.

914
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,000

Speaker 1: tpusa dot com. You can email whether you agree or

935
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: whether you're wrong.

936
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 2: I used to love saying that.

937
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: I feel like it's tough with the situation to joke

938
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: about that sort of stuff. But again, your emails are

939
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: always welcome. Speaking of those emails, we'll get to some

940
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: of those today that I thought were really interesting. That

941
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: now there's several a ton of emails regarding Charlie, and

942
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: all of them are very, very nice, and of course

943
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: we'll read some of them. But also there's people weighing

944
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: in on some interesting stuff throughout the rest of the

945
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: show too, which is which is always good TBTTVUSA dot com.

946
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: Robin writes, Charlie was an amazing person, so intelligent and

947
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: special insight into people.

948
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 2: She says.

949
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: They held a visual last night. This is what I

950
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: thought was really interesting. It's an amazing amount of people

951
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: of all ages that showed up. Yeah, that's one of

952
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: the things too, I think that is fascinating about such

953
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,720
Speaker 1: a horrible, tragic scenario is that how many people across

954
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 1: how many different spectrums or characteristics of the society come out.

955
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 2: You got people there.

956
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: That I mean, my daughter came with us to a vigil,

957
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: so two years old all the way up to you know,

958
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 1: as old as people get you know, in your eighties.

959
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: All of these people like Charlie had an impact across

960
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: every single demographic age wise, ethnicity wise. It's just amazing

961
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: to see in all of those visuals. This is from Andrea,

962
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: which I thought was really interesting. We can probably pull

963
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: down that Charlie b roll because this is more of

964
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: what we were talking about yesterday. Andrea, I'll characterize what

965
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: she said, basically said, hey, my church didn't talk about

966
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: Charlie at all. And we also got some emails saying,

967
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: you know, why are you saying that the church needs

968
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: to talk about it.

969
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 2: Our church isn't political.

970
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 1: But that was kind of an interesting misunderstanding of what

971
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: I think I was trying to say, but also what

972
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: some other people, you know, at least understood. Yeah, this

973
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: is what we're actually talking about. We're not talking about

974
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: the specific politics of this. We're talking about the cultural

975
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: event that was Charlie's assassination. This is one of the

976
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: biggest cultural events to happen in the last several decades.

977
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: And if your church isn't talking about it, that means

978
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: your church doesn't care how you or the church more

979
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: broadly as a whole responds to these cultural events, and

980
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: if they don't care about how the church interacts with

981
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: the community outside the church, then what the.

982
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: Heck are you doing?

983
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: I think again, we mentioned like it would be like

984
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: somebody going to church after nine to eleven and the

985
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: pastor just continuing on in the series in you Know, Matthew.

986
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: Not to say that there's anything wrong with continuing on

987
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: in the series of Matthew, but there is a pretty

988
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: big earth shattering, major event that happened that maybe we

989
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: should have been paying attention to. And that's why I

990
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: think people should have one hundred percent mentioned what happened

991
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: last week in their sermons on Sunday. This from Kevin

992
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: and Glenn. I should have warned you to get the JB.

993
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: Pritzker stuff ready, but it's fine. I think you can

994
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: kind of remember, he points out, well one, you know,

995
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: and Kevin, I do not appreciate you making fun of JB.

996
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: Pritzker's weight saying that, you know, even if it was

997
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: two restaurants that he was at. We're talking about the

998
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: video yesterday. By the way, this is why you need

999
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: to watch the show every single day, because we're gonna

1000
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: reference things from a couple of days ago, and you

1001
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: might not get it because you weren't watching, and that's

1002
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: that that's honestly your fault.

1003
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, don't don't pull up that clip. Just people

1004
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 2: should know. But JB.

1005
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,240
Speaker 1: Pritzker said, I'm at these two restaurants, and of course

1006
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 1: it'd be at two restaurants. But you know, Kevin, I

1007
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,879
Speaker 1: wouldn't I do not condone again you making fun of

1008
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,720
Speaker 1: the kool aid man who is posing as the governor

1009
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: of Illinois and his weight loss journey, so to speak.

1010
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: He also mentioned, hey, why is JB. Pritzker dressing like Trump?

1011
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: Which actually is pretty interesting. That's why I would have

1012
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: liked to pull the clip up. But again, you can

1013
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: go back and watch yesterday's episode on Rav's website and

1014
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: see what JB. Pritzker was wearing. Let's see, we've got

1015
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: some for the well, we'll get to those maybe in

1016
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: another deck. Talking about visas and deporting people with the visas,

1017
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: maybe they should put a deposit down a good email,

1018
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: and that's going to do it for us here at

1019
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: Turning Points. And I really appreciate you taking the time.

1020
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: We will see you tomorrow, same time, same place. God

1021
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: bless America.
