1 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: There's even more Jimmy Kimmel backlash. I feel like we 2 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: had that sorted out, but apparently Jimmy Kimmel is the 3 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: new kilmar Abrego Garcia or the Hill that lives continue 4 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: to want to die on for some reason. Also, eleven 5 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: elected officials arrested by the evil, evil government. What were 6 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: they doing and why is it just another publicity stunt? 7 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: And also French politics, Why does that matter in America? 8 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: Well it does because if we don't fix what's going 9 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: on here, what's going on there is gonna happen to us. 10 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: All that more coming up on this episode of Turning 11 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: Point Tonight. My name is Jobob. Thanks so much for 12 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: tuning in. Together. We are charting the course of America's 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: cultural comeback. This is Turning Point Tonight. Remember you can 14 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: email the show anytime you want TPT at tpusa dot com. 15 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: We love seeing all of your emails, and especially ahead 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk's funeral on Sunday in Phoenix, Arizona. We 17 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: love seeing all the well wishes and memories folks had 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: with them. We'll get to several emails later on in 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: the show, but that is TPT at tpusa dot com. 20 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: Now before we get into any of those stories, we've 21 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: got to talk about again what I think is the 22 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: biggest story. Charlie Kirk National Day of Remembrance will be 23 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: October fourteenth. The Senate confirmed yesterday unanimously, by the way, 24 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: which is honestly great to see. I understand we disagree 25 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: with several of senators fervently. I think several of them 26 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: act like jackasses. However, they did all vote unanimously. Unfortunately, 27 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: that was not the case in the House. The House 28 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: today voted on the same resolution commemorating Charlie Kirk, which 29 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: eulogized him, portraying him as a free speech champion who 30 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: worked tireslely and tirelessly to promote unity and engaged in 31 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: civil and respectful discourse, which is just objectively true. There's 32 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: not really any argument against that. He sat on a 33 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: campus for several hours at a time and just talk 34 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: to people. I don't quite understand how that would be bad. 35 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: But fifty eight Libs voted against it, which is highly concerning. 36 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: One of those libs was AOC which you know, of 37 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: course it was. I want to play you a little 38 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: bit of her reasoning as to why it's probably exactly 39 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: what you think it would be. But this is the 40 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: congresswoman from New York, who I believe to be a dope, 41 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: saying why she did not support the resolution for Charlie Kirk, 42 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: which again is based around free speech and engaging in 43 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: civil discourse. Play that clip. 44 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: Today's resolution only underscores the majority's recklessness by choosing to 45 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 2: author this condemnation and honoring on a purely partisan basis, 46 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: instead of uniting Congress in this tragedy with one of 47 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 2: the many bipartisan options to condemn political violence and Kirk's murder, 48 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: as we did with the late Melissa Hortman. Instead, the 49 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: Majority proceeded with a resolution that brings great pain to 50 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: the millions of Americans who endured segregation, Jim Crow, and 51 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: the legacy of bigotry today. 52 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: So basically, she's saying, we don't want to vote for 53 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: this resolution because it includes Charlie's name. Okay, well, why 54 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: is that a problem? What she goes on to say, 55 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: while he did not like the civil rights movement, which 56 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: gave black people several other rights, Okay, So what we're 57 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: getting then is a bunch of libs took what Charlie 58 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 1: said misunderstood it and then acted on that misunderstanding. Again, 59 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: if you watch Charlie in context, there's very it's very 60 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: difficult to argue with any of his points, and even 61 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: if you disagree with the points, it's very difficult to say, Okay, well, 62 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: he wasn't coming at this in an intellectually honest way, 63 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: because of course he was in everything that he did, 64 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: and yet fifty eight Libs decided, yeah, we're not going 65 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: to vote for this. Interestingly enough, I think the Hill 66 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: pointed out that the overwhelming majority of those fifty eight 67 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: Libs were a part of either the Congressional Black Members 68 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: of Congress, the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, 69 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: and unfortunately, the Congressional Asian American Congress, which are Pacific 70 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: or sorry, Congress Pacific. 71 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 2: What. 72 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know why we're all grouped together. 73 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. I don't actually care about any 74 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: of these caucases. I'm just saying it's kind of interesting, 75 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: and that all leads up to I don't even know 76 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: if I should make the joke, because it's not a 77 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: joking matter. But maybe they were just upset that October 78 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: fourteenth is also Saint George Floyd's birthday, and you do 79 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: not dare disgrace good old George Floyd, who is a 80 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: drug addict and not a good person overall, which everybody 81 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: agrees with by putting the day of remembrance, which is 82 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: also Charlie's birthday coincidentally enough, on just that George Floyd day. 83 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: And I don't even know some necessarily should make that joke, 84 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: but it is actually an interesting comparison, and I don't 85 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: want to undermine the ridiculousness of fifty eight elected officials 86 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: saying no, no, Now, we don't like the whole free speech thing. 87 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: We don't like this civil discourse thing. We don't like 88 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: any of that stuff because specifically this guy is attached 89 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: to it. It's disgusting. But again, I'm glad it passed. 90 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: Just as a note to several big time Libs did 91 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: vote for it, we want to keep that in mind 92 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,679 Speaker 1: because I think they understand the gravity of this situation. Yeah, 93 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: you may not have agreed with the guy, but this 94 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: says something overall about the health of the country, which 95 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: is very, very troubling and even reflecting in polls nowadays. 96 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: A recent poll from the Associated Press has showed something 97 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: rather shocking, and of course, in my opinion of reading 98 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: this article, they misdiagnosed the purpose for it. A poll 99 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 1: that was conducted just days after Charlie Kirk's assassination said 100 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: that only half of Republican voters now see the nation 101 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: as on the right course, which is down from seventy 102 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: percent in June. In other words, there's a twenty percent 103 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: drop and Republicans that think we are on the right track. Now. 104 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: The article goes on to talk about all of the 105 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: different mitigating factors. Well, it's employment, and all the tariffs 106 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: are causing more inflation, and the interest rates aren't going 107 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: down and all of these things. But the reality is, 108 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: we all know why people might think the direction of 109 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: the country is off course. It's not because of President Trump. 110 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: It's not because of any of the policies. It's not 111 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: because of immigration or seeing any of the videos of 112 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: people get criminals getting thrown into cars and getting out 113 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: of our country. No, it's the assassination of a guy 114 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: that we all loved. To pretend it is anything other 115 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: than that is ridiculous. I understand stand the drop in 116 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: that polling. That makes sense to me, and honestly, if 117 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: you had asked me the next day after Charlie was assassinated, 118 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: what I think if the country is going in the 119 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: right direction, I would have said no, because nobody wants 120 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,239 Speaker 1: to see this sort of political violence, especially for someone 121 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: who we all considered a friend. To go around and 122 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: pretend that there was any other factor, any other variable 123 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: outside of Charlie's senseless murder is ridiculous. Lives are gonna 124 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: obviously be trying to paint that in a way that 125 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: is not conducive to conservatives in politics. They're gonna say, well, look, 126 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: they don't even approve of their own administration when their 127 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: administration is in power. But no, the reality is that 128 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: we all saw that horrific murder and decided, yeah, this 129 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: The country collectively, as a culture, not the administration, not 130 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: the policy, is on a not great track right now. 131 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: And that's to put it lightly. Everybody it should be 132 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: aware that whatever drop that there exists, especially among Republicans 133 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: and Conservatives, is all due to the senseless, cold blooded 134 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: murder of our friend Charlie Kirk. To say that it 135 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: is anything other than that is ridiculous. It's irresponsible and senseless, 136 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: to say the least, the good news, though, is that 137 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: resolution did pass. October fourteenth, Charlie's birthday will be a 138 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: National Day of Remembrance, and Charlie's name and legacy will 139 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: live on for it in perpetuity forever in the minds 140 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: of the American conscious. Again, October fourteenth, Charlie's Birthday a 141 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: National Day of Remembrance.

For some reason, Libs have decided to make 145 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel their new kilmar Abrego Garcia. I'm not sure 146 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: if the ratings would back up that point. We're also 147 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: going to talk about France. Interestingly, in French politics gonna 148 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: play a big role. Hopefully we're not looking at what's 149 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: going to eventually happen here, but if we don't correct course, 150 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: it might be and publicity stunts. We'll talk about that. 151 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: These eleven electeds arrested in New York City by the evil, 152 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: evil federal government.

Remember you can 171 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: email the show anytime you want TPT at tpusa dot com. 172 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: We will read some of those emails later on in 173 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: the show. TPT at tpusa dot com and All of 174 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: the well wishes and memories of Charlie Kirk are still 175 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: coming in. They're still great and honestly really helpful to see. 176 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: So if you have any of those, or you want 177 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: to comment on anything we're talking about here on the 178 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: show more broadly, TBT at TPUSA dot com. Love to 179 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: see all of your emails. One of the things that 180 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: I think has been fascinating to watch here, and we've 181 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: mentioned this a couple times, especially over the last couple 182 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: is the performative politics that exist in arguably not really 183 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: arguably objectively a pretty tumultuous political climate. Eleven elected officials 184 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: were arrested in New York City. Oh no, oh, how 185 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: terrible is that? Actually not really at all if you 186 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: look at what is actually happening. The big headlines from 187 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: the Big Apple were saying, oh my gosh, this is 188 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: just more fascism. They're arresting people for. Okay, well what for? Well, 189 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: apparently those up to eleven officials who were elected in 190 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: either the city or the state were doing this. Watch 191 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: this clip, and we will discuss why what they're doing 192 00:11:46,240 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. Together, that's probably good. We probably recognize what's 193 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: going on there. They had to make sure all the 194 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: cameras were set up before they started chanting. What those 195 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 1: were protesters going into a building to from the I 196 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: think this is the ABC affiliate in New York City saying, well, 197 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: they're going to protest the conditions at an immigration for 198 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: holding facility in Manhattan, where a federal judge this week 199 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: extended a court order requiring the government to shape up 200 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: the treatment of the detainees. A federal judge said something, 201 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: how new of a story is that nowadays? But basically 202 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: a federal judge said, hey, yeah, you gotta make sure 203 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 1: this is a five star hotel for these illegals. That's 204 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: what New York City is used to put them up 205 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: in the nicest possible hotel, one that me or you 206 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: can't afford, but let's give it to the illegals. Well, 207 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: apparently that standard, that five star gold standard, was not 208 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: being met, and therefore, for performative purposes, eleven elected New 209 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: York officials needed to sit Indian style in the lobby 210 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: of this ice facility and chant like they were kindergarteners 211 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: and their teacher was I don't know, having them have 212 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: fun during between naptime and story time. I'm not entirely 213 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: sure what they were planning to do specifically, but we've 214 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: all seen this before, and I think that's the broader 215 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: purpose here. These people were not actually looking to do 216 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: anything other than gain media attention. They clearly had all 217 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: the cameras in that room and they started chanting their 218 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: let us in, let us in, which, as we've seen 219 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: so many times, you probably actually can get in if 220 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: you do it the right way. File a request and 221 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: go say hey, can we actually come in this facility, 222 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: and they'll probably be like, okay, well, yeah, you're an 223 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: elected official. We can't squeeze you in today, but how's 224 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: next week? And that's how things go. But if you 225 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: want to make a political point again, you sit there 226 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 1: Kris cross applesauce like a five year old and start 227 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: chanting fervently. But you got to make sure the cameras 228 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: are on rolls. No one will actually care. Now we 229 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: don't actually care regardless, But remember this is all a 230 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: publicity stunt. Here's the difference with publicity stunts now that 231 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: mimic what publicity stunts were back in the day. This 232 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: shouldn't be a shock or surprise to anyone but the 233 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: United States, for its benefit has had protests where people 234 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: hope to change the hearts and minds of either the 235 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: populace or the elected officials. That has worked in the past. Specifically, 236 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: you probably all remember protests around Vietnam. I'm not here 237 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: to relitigate whether or not the United States should have 238 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: gotten involved in Vietnam, but I want to bring you 239 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: some interesting poll numbers on the Vietnam War as it 240 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: progressed in time and through America's political culture. In nineteen 241 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: sixty five, about sixty four of Americans were pro going 242 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: into Vietnam. About you know, two thirds of Americans said 243 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: this is probably in our best interest. Again, I'm not 244 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: necessarily even saying yes or no. I'm just saying that's 245 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: what the polling was in nineteen sixty five. By nineteen 246 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: sixty eight, only thirty two percent of Americans approved of 247 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: Johnson's job in Vietnam. Now that's not there's a lot 248 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: of other different variables. There's not a lot of different 249 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: ways to pull that. But the bottom line is two 250 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: thirds of America agreed going in, and then in three 251 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: years one third, one out of every three Americans said, eh, 252 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: I'm not really a big fan of how this administration 253 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: is handling that. That then led to bunch of Vietnam 254 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: protests around college campuses. Some got a little bit more 255 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: violent than others. I would call those riots. But the 256 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: bottom line is the protesters in effect were articulating the 257 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: way that the public felt. In other words, they were protesting, 258 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: they were standing up for something, but the broader community 259 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: of the United States of America thought, yeah, we actually 260 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: agree with that. That in effect obviously took some time, 261 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: but eventually kind of changed the minds of the politicians. 262 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: That differs from what's happening today because nobody agrees with 263 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: these people. One of the biggest reasons, and I don't 264 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: need to tell you, folks, one of the biggest reasons 265 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump got elected was because he was to think, Hey, 266 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get all of the illegals out of the country. 267 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: There was a poll that had I during the election, 268 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: I can't think of it off the top of my head, 269 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: that had like eighty or ninety percent of Americans saying, no, 270 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: get every illegal out of the country. That wasn't even 271 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: accounting for amnesty, that wasn't even accounting for Okay, well, 272 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: is it a DACA kid or no. No, all the 273 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: illegals gone. I would argue to say that that probably 274 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: wasn't the actual true nature. What it was within that 275 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: polling was sending a message this is important to us, 276 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: we want this now. Overall, the polling really hasn't changed much. Yes, 277 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: as power changes, the polling slips a little bit, But overall, 278 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: the broad majority of Americans want illegals to get deported 279 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: from the country, which makes a difference when you see 280 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: protests like this. It also will probably remind you of 281 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: the Senator Alex Padilla protest where he effectively tried to 282 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: rush the stage when Chrissy nom was giving a speech 283 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: and well got tackled for his troubles. Actually, I don't 284 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: think he ever got tackled. They just put him on 285 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: the ground and said, hey, dude, who are you so 286 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: us centator? Okay, well, why are you acting like an annimal? 287 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: Coming get off the streets. The bottom line here is 288 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: that all of these performative politics, while protesting does actually 289 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 1: make a difference in this country, what is used primarily 290 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: to reinforce the ideas that the people already have. In 291 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: other words, the country is more susceptible to being swayed 292 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: by protest. The elected officials are more susceptible being swayed 293 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: by protests when the populace agrees with what the protesters 294 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: are doing. Because the United States says, yeah, we probably 295 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: should have borders, we should have a strong southern border, 296 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: we probably shouldn't let anybody else in, and we got 297 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: to get the illegals, especially the criminal legals, out of 298 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: the country. Performative politics like the ones that you're seeing 299 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: in New York City don't work. The idea that a 300 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: headline saying, well, there was eleven elected officials that were 301 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: just arrested in New York City doesn't make a difference 302 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: because everybody can recognize one they were not doing the 303 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: protest in the proper way, and two we don't agree 304 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: with these people anyways. If they would have just gone 305 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: through the process, they probably could have inspected the facilities. 306 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: But again that's not actually what they wanted to do. 307 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: They wanted the sound bites to be on the internet. 308 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: The fascist federal government, which I don't even think they 309 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: know what fascist means, was arresting people just for trying 310 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,239 Speaker 1: to check up on the illegal criminal immigrants that are 311 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: in this country, again illegally. That is, of course not 312 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: what happened, and I think hopefully the entirety of the 313 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: American people understand that this stuff won't work. It's not 314 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: going to work, especially because the United States of America 315 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: has such free speech ideas so where we can express yeah, 316 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: we don't want illegals in the country, and you pulling 317 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: these sorts of stunts isn't going to change hearts and 318 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: minds because we know what you're doing. It is a 319 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: publicity stunt, it's an attention grab, and it doesn't work 320 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: because it's not bolstering the side generally speaking of where 321 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: Americans fall. So good luck with your arrest. I hope 322 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: the book is thrown at these folks. You're not being 323 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: victimized in any way, shape or form. And that goes 324 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: for Senator Alex Padia two, who still is airing. I 325 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: was watching Thursday Night football last night and there was 326 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: not to get in the California Weeds. There was a 327 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: vote yes on Prop fifty make sure California is California, 328 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: takes away the rights of the people to redistrict as 329 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: they see fit. Again not to get two in the 330 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: weeds on that, but there was a commercial of Alex 331 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: Padilla getting arrested and I can't imagine anybody was watching 332 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: that without rolling their eyes, going, yeah, dude, if you 333 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,719 Speaker 1: bum rush a federal official, it doesn't matter who you are, 334 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: especially not identifying yourself as a senator, things are not 335 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 1: gonna work out in your favorite. Performative politics is dumb, 336 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: It is stupid. I wish we didn't do it, but 337 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: also I hope Liz continue doing it because it's very 338 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: fun to mock them for something that will actually make 339 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: a difference. I'm very happy to do that and continually 340 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: do that. Coming up, speaking of performative politics, I want 341 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: to talk about Jimmy Kimmel and the fallout from that, 342 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: because I think there is more than I think we 343 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: originally even thought. Yesterday we spent a good portion of 344 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: the show talking about that. Well, there's more to be 345 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: said as more people come out and talk against it, 346 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: especially so hilarious tweets from Barack Obama. Don't go away. 347 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: You're not gonna want to miss this. We'll be right 348 00:20:48,920 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: back after the break. Welcome back to Turning Point tonight. 349 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: We're together. We are charting the course of America's cultural comeback. 350 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: Set us an email tpt at tpusa dot com.

It serves you know, 356 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: we all loved Charlie in a very similar way. So 357 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: where was oh, TPT at TPUSA dot com. You can 358 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: send a bunch of emails that direction if you have 359 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: any thoughts on Charlie, if you have any thoughts on 360 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: anything we talked about today, I would love to see 361 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: those emails. We'll get to some of those later on 362 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: in the show. TPT at TPUSA dot com. I wanted 363 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: to talk about the continued fallout of Jimmy Kimmel. I 364 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: thought this was really interesting, specifically yesterday. You know, you 365 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: kind of expect this to be a news story for 366 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: a day or two and Okay, it's a big thing, 367 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: and it's now blown over because it's really not that 368 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: important in reality, right, Jimmy Kimmel's show had about a 369 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: million people, give or take watching it every single night, 370 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: and if you do the math on three hundred and 371 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: fifty million people in the country, and I'm counting the 372 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 1: illegals too, because you have to count them, especially if 373 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: you're redistricting and giving a congressional power. But specifically, yeah, 374 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: if you do the math, that's like less than zero 375 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: point two percent of people watched the show, So I guess, 376 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't expecting it to be like 377 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: that big of a deal, but apparently it was. Now 378 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: on the photo here you see a picture of a 379 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: good old Dick Blumenthal who had some words, and he 380 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: was just among many other people, including a former president, 381 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: to share their opinions on the quote unquote censored late 382 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: night comedian who again's ratings were so low. I can't 383 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: imagine why he was even on the air to this point, 384 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: but he was. And I want to play you some 385 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: of the arguments that the libs are making so that 386 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: you can get an idea of how to respond to 387 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: people who you meet in real life and go, I 388 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: can't believe those fascists are canceling shows. Watch this from 389 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: from good old Dick Blumenthal, Senator. 390 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 3: You may think of Jimmy Kimo as comedy or entertainment, 391 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 3: but censoring him goes to the core of suppressing free 392 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 3: expression in this country. Other presidents have wanted to silence 393 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 3: critics by threatening to revoke licenses or stop mergers. None 394 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 3: has dared until now. What Donald Trump is doing through 395 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 3: his lap dog chairman of the FCC is essentially to 396 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 3: pressure these big corporations to silence any kind of criticism, 397 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 3: any kind of sat tire, any kind of challenge that 398 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 3: is Unamerican and anti democratic. And that's why we need 399 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 3: to call out the chairman of the FCC. I think 400 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 3: he needs to resign, Brendan Carr. And they're cow telling 401 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 3: to him shows they have no backbone. They need to 402 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 3: stand up, all of us do, because our democracy is 403 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 3: at stake. 404 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: What we're seeing is creeping. 405 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 3: In fact, galloping authoritarianism. Fear and intimidation are the auto 406 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 3: instruments of power, and to spread this cancer of fear 407 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 3: and intimidation is threatening to all of our rights, the 408 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 3: entire body of democracy. 409 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: Okay, there's a lot of the there's a lot there 410 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: from a good old dick. I think that's the guy 411 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: who also lied about going to Vietnam and serving in 412 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: the war there. He was actually in the military, but 413 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: he was stationed in Washington, d C. But on the 414 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: campaign trail in twenty ten, he said, when I was 415 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: in Vietnam, and well, that's just a side note on 416 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: good old Dick Blumenthal. He made some interesting comments there. 417 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: Nobody has ever dared rule provoke the licenses of anyone, 418 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: because that would be censoring free speech. Well, good news. 419 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: President Trump also didn't revoke the license to anyone. Now, 420 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,239 Speaker 1: I will say this in the in the interest of 421 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: being fair and intellectually honest, there are some things that 422 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't have said necessarily from the administration. But 423 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: to say that suggesting or even like offhanded remarks of 424 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: oh yeah, maybe maybe we should review some licenses when 425 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: you're asked on the plane flying back from Britain, which 426 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: we don't need to play the clip of that. I'm 427 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: sure you've seen that already. Uh yeah, that's not hard policy. 428 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: Let me know what he actually does. This seems to 429 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: be a consistent theme with the libs of I can't 430 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: believe President Trump did this. Okay, well didn't He kind 431 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: of set it off the cuff kind of I don't know, 432 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: tweeted it out when it happens. Let me know, because 433 00:25:54,920 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: if they are actually pulling licenses up. Probably the first 434 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: I want to say, Yeah, that's probably not the best idea. 435 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: What's actually happening is the companies that were carrying Jimmy 436 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: Kimmel's show already were not in a good place with him. 437 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: The advertisers were revaulting, the networks didn't want to carry 438 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: them in their geographical broadcast locations, and this finally was 439 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: the last straw. And the scapegoat now is pressure from 440 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: the federal government. I'll tell you what pressure is such 441 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: a scapegoat because it's an intangible thing. That's like me saying, 442 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: why did the dishes this evening because my wife pressured 443 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: me to do so? Well, that actually is not the 444 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: best example because there are actual tangible ramifications for that 445 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: if I don't do the dishes, so that leave that 446 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: off the table. The bottom line here is that all 447 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: of the things that we're now finding out, which include 448 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: reporting I believe from the New York Post that said, yeah, 449 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: Kimmel was on the phone with the higher ups at 450 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: Disney saying, Hey, I'm gonna go on and clean this up, 451 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: and he couldn't even convinced them that that would be 452 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: a good idea because they said he actually might make 453 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: it worse. So we're actually gonna go ahead and pull 454 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: this all together. That's not government censorship. That is a 455 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: business decision. And yet we've got even more people piling 456 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: on President Barack Obama, who definitely didn't try to silence 457 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: any of his pundans that he didn't like or TV 458 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,719 Speaker 1: shows that started with an R and ended with an 459 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: ozan for various other reasons that we won't necessarily get 460 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: into right now, sent out a couple tweets that I 461 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 1: want to show you piling on to this whole idea 462 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: of bad business being masked as Trump fascist censorship. He says, 463 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: after years of complaining about cancel culture, all right, we've 464 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: already discussed why those are not the same thing. The 465 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous 466 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: level by routinely threatening regulatory against media companies unless they 467 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: muzzle or fire reporters and commentators they don't like. He 468 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: continues in the death of a different tweet and says 469 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: this is precisely the kind of government coercion that the 470 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: First Amendment was designed to prevent, and media companies need 471 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: to start standing up rather than capitulating to it. Actually, 472 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: I think he kind of has a point there, and 473 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: I think that's the reason why I'm so fervently saying, now, dude, 474 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: ABC is a big company. They're big boys. They have attorneys. 475 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: If that were to actually happen, if the thing that 476 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: you're accusing the Trump administration actually was put into practice, 477 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: Disney would sue them, and I guarantee you they would 478 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: find a federal judge to block President Trump, because guess what, 479 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: Apparently that's the favorite activity of federal judges. You find 480 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: a federal judge and in public you ask him, Hey, sir, 481 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: what do you like doing. He's not gonna say I 482 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: like to go golf, I like to go sailing. He's 483 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: gonna go I like to block President Trump. So to 484 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: say that that was even under threat is ridiculous in nature, 485 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: and Barack Obama, of all people, should know that. I 486 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: could go off into the tangent of where I think 487 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: President Obama is afraid of a lot of things being 488 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: uncovered in regards to the Russia hoax, but that'll be 489 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: a story for a different time. The main thing that 490 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: I think we need to focus on here is that 491 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: it was a business decision, or at least all of 492 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: the facts point to the fact that it was a 493 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: business decision. And I think we need to remind people 494 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: that remember when you guys kicked the president of the 495 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: United States off of all of social media, not even 496 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: like the former president, he was the sitting president of 497 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: the United States, and all of social media said well, 498 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: we can't have this guy on our platforms, and they 499 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: silenced and censored a sitting US president. Now, I got 500 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of arguments, if you can call them that, 501 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: in my comments section when talking about this, and they said, well, 502 00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: those are private companies. Yeah, dude, so is ABC? You 503 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: think President Trump is the CEO of Disney Like? Is 504 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: that how you think this works. If you're going to 505 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: make the case that there was so much pressure that 506 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: ABC couldn't withhold keeping Jimmy Kimmel on the air because 507 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: of the pressure from President Trump, which I don't think happened, 508 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: then you also then have to say that the pressure 509 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: from all of the powers that be in the lib 510 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: universe took effect when they censor President Trump off of 511 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: every single social media platform. You can't have both things. 512 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: Dick Blumenthal issued a statement, Well, we watched the video, 513 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: not necessarily that's the graphic of it. He says on 514 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: Twitter President Trump should be permanently banned. No private company 515 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: is obligated to provide a microphone for a malicious campaign 516 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: to incite violence. That again is Dick Blumenthal, who's horrified 517 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: at Jimmy Kimmel, who was no longer funny. By the way, 518 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: I agree with President Vice President jad Vance on this. 519 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: He used to be really funny. I me and Charlie 520 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: disagreed on this. He used to be funny. He was 521 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: no longer funny. So I don't know, it's just it's 522 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: fascinating the flip flops. I didn't know that we would 523 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: have to do an entire segment continuing to talk about 524 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel's show, which again zero point two percent of 525 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: the population watched on any routine basis. But there it is. 526 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: You've got a bunch of people lining up on the 527 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: lip side of the aisle making this there Ki Abrego 528 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: Garcia choosing to die out a hill that is very 529 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: comical to die on. Coming up after the break, interestingly enough, 530 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about some French politics and how 531 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: they might affect the United States and what we're doing here, 532 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: as well as we might even get into Antifa globally, 533 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: several other European countries are following President Trump's lead and saying, yeah, 534 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: Antifa is a problem and we probably should characterize categorize 535 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: them as a domestic terrorist organization. You can also email 536 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: the show anytime you want, TPT at tpusa dot com. 537 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: Don't go away, We'll be right back after the break. 538 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Turning Point.

Sunday is Charlie's funeral in Phoenix, 544 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: Arizona at State Farm Stadium, which I can't remember anybody 545 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: who's had a funeral that big. The police are saying 546 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,479 Speaker 1: this security is gonna rival a super Bowl, which is 547 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: again unbelievable. Outpouring of love for Charlie Kirk. He will 548 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: be greatly missed, and we'll send him off on Sunday 549 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: in Phoenix, Arizona.

That's happening Sunday, tpt 554 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: ATPOSA dot COMF you want to send us an email. 555 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: You know what I think is really interesting is the 556 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: amount of times that libs say, well, this doesn't exist, 557 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: and then we want to do something about it, and 558 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: they say, no, you can't, kind of like I don't know, 559 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: abortions in the late term, like hey, this isn't happening, 560 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: so don't worry about it. And then we say, okay, 561 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: well then what's the problem with us if we ban it? 562 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: And they can't come up with an argument. It's like 563 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: gender mutilation surgery for kids. It's not happening, but don't 564 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: you dare ban it. That's what is happening with Antifa. 565 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: President Trump, we talked to Monica Page at the White 566 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: House the other day, designated Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. 567 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: Now we understand that that might be difficult to pinpoint 568 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: because of a bunch of different reasons, but Antifa one 569 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: hundred percent is a domestic terrorist organization that is looking 570 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: to topple the West and all of the values that 571 00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: this huntry hold, this country holds near and dear. There 572 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: is some good news though, on the international scale. The 573 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: Netherlands and Hungary have joined President Trump in designating Antifa 574 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: domestic terrorists. Now, the one of the big issues again 575 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: with the left is saying that, hey, these people don't exist. 576 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: But I think what is happening here with again two 577 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: other European countries saying no, this does exist. Is it 578 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: emboldens the argument on the conservative side, because remember, not 579 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: all that long ago, this was the argument being made 580 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: by the left. This is a clip from the twenty 581 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: twenty debate between President Trump and President Biden on Antifa. 582 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: When Trump brought it up, Biden said, what whatevery lib 583 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: has been saying for way too long. Watch this. 584 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 3: Somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left, 585 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 3: because this is not a right wing PROBLEMI this. 586 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 4: Is a left wing. 587 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: Antifa is an idea, not an organization. That's what his tonight, FBI, 588 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: his FBI direct We're done, sir, Yes, Antifa doesn't exist. Now. 589 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: To clarify the point, the former director of the FBI, 590 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: Christopher Ray, did say that Antifa is not a group 591 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: an organization. It is a movement or an ideology. Now 592 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: that can be characterized in a bunch of different ways. 593 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: But he did go on to say Antifa was a 594 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: real thing and that the FBI had several investigations active 595 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: investigations into violent anarchist extremists, including individuals who identified as Antifa. 596 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: The best example I think that we could give here 597 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: is the United States in and of itself. The United 598 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: States of America is a collection of ideas that is 599 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: boundaried by geographical limits. The idea of the United States 600 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: is an idea, and it is also a geographical place 601 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: and a collection of people. So to say that Antifa 602 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,919 Speaker 1: is ah, it's just night. These people don't exactly don't 603 00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: exist anywhere. Well, President Trump exemplified it perfectly when you said, yeah, 604 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: if Antifa hits you over the head with a bat, 605 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: that's not an idea that actually hurts. And the idea 606 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: that Antifa is just not in existence is crazy. Jack Bisobic. 607 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, turning Point contributor as well as a host 608 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: here on rav pointed something out on X that I 609 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: had forgotten, but I honestly shouldn't have. I hadn't forgotten it. 610 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: I just didn't come to the forefront of my mind. 611 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: It's actually a video of me in twenty twenty three 612 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: at an event with Charlie where I was opening for him. 613 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: I just happened to be wandering around the halls and 614 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,760 Speaker 1: noticed a horde of people who are who are an idea. 615 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: These weren't real people, These are just imaginary picture figments 616 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,760 Speaker 1: of my imagination. According to President Biden, were coming towards 617 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: a window, and I naively got up to the window, 618 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: thinking well, this door is locked. But Jack posted that video, 619 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,720 Speaker 1: so I want to play that for you here before 620 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 1: I get to well give you what he said. Watch 621 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: this clip. This is me being naive. But again, of 622 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: course this is an idea. It doesn't really exist, and 623 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: no windows were actually broken into making this video. 624 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 4: Check this out. 625 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 1: Jack tweeted the Biden DOJ did nothing when Antifa attacked 626 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk on campus in twenty twenty three. That's again 627 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: at the University of California Davis. Two years later, an 628 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 1: anti fascist shot him dead on another campus. The threat 629 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,359 Speaker 1: will always be there, says Jack. I can't help but 630 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: agree with that sentiment. Antifa is a real thing, and 631 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: it's good that other countries around the world are recognizing 632 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,800 Speaker 1: it as such. But speaking about other countries around the world, 633 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: we've all heard about France, especially in recent days, but 634 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 1: there's something going on in France that I think is 635 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 1: going to have an effect or at least a preview 636 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: into the future of what we might become. Unfortunately, if 637 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: we continue down several of the socialistic pasts that we 638 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: are currently on, there were riots over the weekend in France. 639 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play you a short clip of that before 640 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,839 Speaker 1: discussing what they're rioting about and how that relates to 641 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: us in this country. Right now. 642 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 4: Watch this. 643 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: So the idea that that is happening comes with a 644 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 1: lot of explanation. You gotta understand why things are happening now. 645 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: Obviously I can't get into the minuw show of French politics, 646 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,760 Speaker 1: but broadly speaking, everybody is aware that France has super 647 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: lax retirement policies, super lax working conditions in France. If 648 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: you didn't know this, you are legally required to have 649 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: five weeks minimum of vacation per year. You count that 650 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: with weekends included, you're looking at a month and a 651 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: half that you just get to get off. The retirement 652 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 1: age in France is also sixty two years old, with 653 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: lots of entitlements that you get after you retire. The 654 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 1: average lifespan in France is also eighty two, so we're 655 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: talking another twenty years of people not working, funded by 656 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,840 Speaker 1: people who also are kind of working, but still have 657 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: a month and a half off per year, because that's 658 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: the thing that they do in France, and what is 659 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: happening is their social security esque Ponzi scheme is falling apart. 660 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: President McCrone is through his sixth prime minister in his 661 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: term if the government lapses, and again not to explain 662 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: how French parliament works, and I don't really even know 663 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,239 Speaker 1: how it works entirely, but I do know that when 664 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: the government collapses and the prime minister is forced to resign, 665 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: the president gets to a point, a new one. This 666 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: is the sixth one that they are appointing because France 667 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: has faced the reality or is facing the reality of 668 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,359 Speaker 1: overspending and not taking in enough money, which is what 669 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: we all don't want to have happened here. We all 670 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: witnessed Elon Musk and what his biggest issue was. That's 671 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: why we created Doge the government Department of Efficiency or 672 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: the Department of Government Efficiency to eliminate the waste and 673 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: roll back a lot of the spending, because if we 674 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: don't do that, we will need to institute austerity measures. 675 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 1: And if those austerity measures are atituted, you're going to 676 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 1: see riding in the streets, whether you like it or not. 677 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to fear monger anybody. I'm just trying 678 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,240 Speaker 1: to be realistic and point to a real world example 679 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 1: that is happening now in France. They do not want 680 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,360 Speaker 1: any of the austerity measures to take place, austeriody measures 681 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 1: meaning stricter restrictions on spending and higher taxes, which again 682 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: nobody wants, but you have to face the monetary reality. 683 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: What they've also tried to do is import a bunch 684 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 1: of the Third world and ask anybody in Paris if 685 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: they think that's a good idea. You go to Paris 686 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,320 Speaker 1: and there's a hilarious joke, and I don't want to 687 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: steal her thunder, but I can't quite remember what this 688 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: woman's name was. She said, we went to Paris and 689 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: we got these cool hats that they were in Paris. 690 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,359 Speaker 1: I forget what you call them. A Burkas, And while 691 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: that's a funny joke, it's not a funny reality to 692 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: exist in Paris and in France, a formerly great country 693 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: of the world. The bottom line here is, if we 694 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: continue on the trajectory that we are on now, if 695 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 1: we elect leaders like the socialist in New York, we 696 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: are going to, unfortunately be going down the same path. 697 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: And that is not the America that we have fought for. 698 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: That's not the America that Charlie had fought for, and 699 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: that's not the America that anyone wants. So fair warning, 700 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: do not become friends. It will be the undoing of us. 701 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: Coming up after the break, we're gonna read some of 702 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 1: your emails as well as potentially look at some ridiculous videos, 703 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: but we'll see how much time we've actually end up having. 704 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,439 Speaker 1: You can also email the show TPT at tpusa dot com. 705 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: Don't go awab be right back after the break. Welcome 706 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: back to turning Point tonight. We're together. We are still 707 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,479 Speaker 1: continuing to chart the course of America's cultural comeback.

We're gonna read some of your emails 710 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 1: here today, but anything you have to say if it's 711 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: a remembrance of Charlie, if you have any thoughts on 712 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: anything we talk about here on the show, specifically the 713 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: Jimmy kimmelton. We got a bunch of emails from that. 714 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 1: We're not necessarily gonna address them again because I feel 715 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 1: like you've heard enough about Jimmy Kimmel being the new 716 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: kilmar Abrego Garcia of the Left. But again TPT at 717 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: tpusa dot com, we love seeing each and every one 718 00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,839 Speaker 1: of your emails. Again, I want to remind people too, 719 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: we would love to meet you in real life. We 720 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 1: obviously have a relationship here that we've been able to 721 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,720 Speaker 1: build and we're so fortunate to have. But at Charlie's memorial, 722 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: I know several, well tens of that hundreds of thousands 723 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 1: of people probably will show up. And so if you 724 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: see us, you know, don't be afraid to say hi. 725 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 1: I know some people will say hey, I'll get messages hey, 726 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,760 Speaker 1: as I saw you walking around you know, some event, 727 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,319 Speaker 1: but I didn't want to bother you. It's not a 728 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 1: bother Charlie would have. Charlie facilitated the meeting of conservatives 729 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 1: across the country at all of the different events, and 730 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 1: we would love to meet you and shake your hand 731 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,319 Speaker 1: in real life. The whole Turning Point Tonight team will 732 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 1: be in Phoenix this Sunday for Charlie's memorial. That being said, 733 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: I want to get to some emails here that I thought, 734 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,319 Speaker 1: I thought, We're fine. I think, well should be, you know, 735 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 1: good to go through together. D said, this is this 736 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 1: is great. I love the verbiage D uses here. I 737 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: invited Charlie into my home five days a week, from 738 00:43:55,560 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: eleven to one, almost every weekday for at least five years. Obviously, 739 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: she didn't physically invite Charlie to her home, although I 740 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 1: believe if you would have shown up, he would have 741 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,359 Speaker 1: happily led him in talk about radio, this is how 742 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: people consume content and consume radio. People say I felt 743 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,720 Speaker 1: like I know Charlie because they did. They really did. 744 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: And you know, so many people felt like they knew 745 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: Charlie by just listening to him every single day on 746 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 1: the radio. He articulated things well beyond his years, scary, intense, 747 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 1: deliciously snarky. And this is my favorite part about this D. 748 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: His subtle fat shaming made me laugh out loud. I 749 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 1: picked up on that too, I would always pick up 750 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: on that, and you never know if you're like, ah am, 751 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 1: I supposed to laugh at this, But yes, he meant 752 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,799 Speaker 1: it to be funny, and I too. If you really 753 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 1: pay attention to this show, I try to do the 754 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 1: same thing in certain ways sometimes. But I love that. 755 00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: I appreciate you you pointing that out because Charlie, Charlie 756 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,319 Speaker 1: was funny. He's a funny guy. He was witty, he 757 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 1: was quick, he was sarcastic, and a lot of people 758 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: never really got to see that to its fullest extent. 759 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 1: That's why I've been posting a bunch of videos. If 760 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 1: you follow me on social media Instagram specifically just job ob, 761 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: you'll be able to find me. I've been posting a 762 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 1: bunch of old videos of us doing roundtables where we're 763 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,799 Speaker 1: just laughing, having a good time, thrown out insane conspiracy 764 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: theories that don't actually mean anything, but just had fun 765 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 1: talking about he was a fun guy. And again, Dee, 766 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: I really love that you pointed that out. Amy kind 767 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 1: of in the vein of comedy says, I'm really glad 768 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 1: you talked about how hard comedy is nowadays. It's got 769 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 1: to be rough, but you're doing great. Thank you. I 770 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 1: appreciate that I can't even imagine again very much appreciate 771 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 1: that this is what this show was meant to be. 772 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,759 Speaker 1: I recognize that we really have kind of changed the 773 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 1: format around because of the tragic events of last week. 774 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: But the show was meant to be kind of funny. 775 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: We were meant to be snarky and sarcastic and have 776 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: guests and kind of go off the walls and the 777 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: the sillier takes of the news of the day. And 778 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 1: you know, maybe we'll get back to that, but the 779 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,839 Speaker 1: time for that is it doesn't. It just doesn't feel right, 780 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 1: and so I appreciate those viewer thinking about that going 781 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: through the day. And the last one we'll get to 782 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 1: today is April say, I laugh abundantly watching more than 783 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 1: watching Sorry, let me let me be able to read. 784 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 1: I probably that's probably be a prerequisite to doing a 785 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,000 Speaker 1: talk show, is being able to read. I laugh abundantly 786 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 1: more watching one episode of your show mocking the crazy 787 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: libs than I ever did watching any of Jimmy Kimmel 788 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: or Stephen Colbert's shows. I appreciate that Stephen Colbert a 789 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 1: coming in for a kick, and I know he's not 790 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 1: in the news right now, in the news right now, 791 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,840 Speaker 1: but isn't he though, same same fate that Jimmy Kimmel 792 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 1: will meet, a lack of audience members, not not being censored. No, 793 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 1: CBS is trying to turn a corner and be profitable again. 794 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 1: Is why Stephen Colbert is no longer in the job. 795 00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 1: But anyways, emails TBT at TVUSA dot com, we love 796 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: reen you.

I 816 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 1: don't know if it's the best idea to play a 817 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,919 Speaker 1: clip that's going to enrage you, but this one might. 818 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,839 Speaker 1: And I at the risk of not putting it off 819 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 1: until Monday and then having a bunch of other things 820 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 1: happened that we have to talk about on Monday, I'm 821 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 1: gonna play it for you now. Again. I apologize that 822 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,359 Speaker 1: this is happening in the last segment of the last 823 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 1: show you're probably gonna watch today. But here it is 824 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 1: Congresswoman Ilhan Omar talking about my friend, your friend, Charlie 825 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:27,919 Speaker 1: Kirk in a less than charitable way. Watch this, those 826 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 1: of you are interest in this? Ah? Yes, what not? 827 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,320 Speaker 1: Hateful people say? The Party of Love and Tolerance says 828 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 1: to a congregation, by the way, who let that lady 829 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,280 Speaker 1: into their church? Right? Not a I don't know a mosque. 830 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:56,359 Speaker 1: Why was she there? Whoever let her in? She said, yeah, 831 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm not all of you who are trying to rewrite 832 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 1: this hateful man. 833 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 4: I don't know. 834 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,360 Speaker 1: Maybe she wasn't talking about Charlie because clearly she wouldn't 835 00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 1: have any idea, just decides to go with what the 836 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 1: internet says. Interestingly enough, after this clip, I was curious. 837 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 1: I was curious about her kind of backstory. I think 838 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 1: she's on her fourth marriage one. I don't know that 839 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,280 Speaker 1: any of them were to her brother. Again, I can't 840 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,440 Speaker 1: confirm that that's real. And also I don't know if 841 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: that's a fake story. But regardless, she was like basically 842 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,799 Speaker 1: has a pretty checkered past, and I only say that 843 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,920 Speaker 1: to say that maybe that's why she's somewhat of a 844 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,719 Speaker 1: tormented mind. But again, you know, here on this side 845 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,839 Speaker 1: of the aisle, we actually don't hate everyone as they 846 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: seem to. But the most hateful words coming out of 847 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 1: the people that tend to say we love tolerance and peace. 848 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,799 Speaker 1: That's gonna do it for us today and for this week. 849 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,320 Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. If you see us at the memorial, 850 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 1: come say hi. We will see the same time, same 851 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 1: place on Monday, God bless America.
