Speaker 1: Thanks Scott Chad.
Speaker 2: An hour two Sean Hannity Show told free on numbers
Speaker 2: eight hundred and nine pot one, Sean, if you want
Speaker 2: to be a part of the program. In just a minute,
Speaker 2: we're going to be joined by our friend Selena Zito,
Speaker 2: And she has a great piece out in the Washington Examiner,
Speaker 2: the Awakening FUC Coming, and she talks at length about
Speaker 2: already the impact of Charlie Kirk on young people his message.
Speaker 2: I mean, I spent most of the last weekend watching
Speaker 2: videos of Charlie and the things that he was saying
Speaker 2: to younger people that really it kind of takes a
Speaker 2: younger person to say it to them, and it was,
Speaker 2: it was so impactful. And anyway, the article she goes
Speaker 2: into great specificity in detail, and you know, young people
Speaker 2: distraught over this. Remember kids in college today, they were
Speaker 2: not alive during nine to eleven oh one, and this
Speaker 2: is in packed a lot of kids in a massive way.
Speaker 2: And she describes what happened at the Sanctuary Church and
Speaker 2: how you know, busloads and busloads of kids you know,
Speaker 2: were going there. Pastor Jason Howard was taken aback by
Speaker 2: the size, the scope, the number of young people that
Speaker 2: came out on Sunday for service. He said, I'll be
Speaker 2: honest with you, I'm in my forties. So I was
Speaker 2: caught off guard by the response from people who were
Speaker 2: in my church in their twenties. They were much more
Speaker 2: in tune with Charlie's influence than I was. His assistant
Speaker 2: pastor was very much tuned in. He's twenty two years old,
Speaker 2: and his immediate reaction was to the spontaneity of all
Speaker 2: this is that we're going to pray. And the day
Speaker 2: after Charlie was assassinated, he had a whole bunch of
Speaker 2: people just gather in his backyard praying. Selina Zito is
Speaker 2: now with us her book. By the way, she was,
Speaker 2: you know, right next to President Trump. She was right
Speaker 2: there at Butler in PA and wrote her number one
Speaker 2: New York Times bestselling book, Butler. If you haven't read it,
Speaker 2: please get a copy. The untold story of the near
Speaker 2: assassination of Donald Trump in the fight for America's heartland,
Speaker 2: and now we live in this assassination culture. Selena, first,
Speaker 2: congratulations on being number one on the New York Times.
Speaker 2: It was great to have you on at the time.
Speaker 2: It's always great to have you on and I appreciate
Speaker 2: your time, and I thought this article was really deep
Speaker 2: and profound.
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you so much, and thanks for having me
Speaker 3: on about the book. And I think this book is
Speaker 3: very relevant and important because one of the first experiences
Speaker 3: I had after President Trump was shot was I went
Speaker 3: out on a one of my grandchildren's soccer games. Right,
Speaker 3: there's a bunch of suburban soccer.
Speaker 2: Mom there by the way, For the record, Selena is
Speaker 2: not old enough to be your grandmother.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying.
Speaker 3: They were all sort of lined up, and I would
Speaker 3: see them all the time because I'd go to my
Speaker 3: grandchild daughter's soccer games. I had no idea what their
Speaker 3: political affiliation was or their face, right, but they were
Speaker 3: on paper they should have been Paris voters, right, college educated,
Speaker 3: live in the suburbs, right, and upper middle class. I
Speaker 3: was stunned, and I detailed this in this book and
Speaker 3: interview these young women about the amount of women who
Speaker 3: had MAGA haffs on red Mega hafs just two days
Speaker 3: after the president was shot. And so we would get
Speaker 3: into a conversation and I'm like, you know, I have
Speaker 3: no idea what your affiliation was, and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we were always afraid Christy Well, the one girl's fame
Speaker 3: was Chrissy. I was sort of always afraid to put
Speaker 3: it out there. But my attitude now is if he
Speaker 3: can take a bullet for me, I can wear a
Speaker 3: hat and not and be bold about it. And I'm
Speaker 3: seeing the same thing happening post Charlie's assassination and in
Speaker 3: a really profound way. And I'll give you two examples.
Speaker 3: First is that story that I wrote. I mean, these
Speaker 3: kids just came and we're not we're not talking like
Speaker 3: you know, lily white suburbs. We're in the city of Pittsburgh,
Speaker 3: in the Hill District, a historic black neighborhood in Pittsburgh,
Speaker 3: and they are coming by the boss loads of every size,
Speaker 3: shape and color and there and and they're they needed
Speaker 3: to be somewhere right. They needed These are kids that
Speaker 3: are out of faith or have just come to face
Speaker 3: and they needed to be somewhere with purpose because they
Speaker 3: saw him in two ways. They may not have always
Speaker 3: agreed with everything he said politically, but they loved how
Speaker 3: bold he was with his face and that was something
Speaker 3: that was very very important.
Speaker 2: Did you see this over thirty two thousand requests for
Speaker 2: New Turning Point USA campus chapters have been filed since
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk's death thirty two thousand, and the message is
Speaker 2: even going higher. I mean, and the requests are going
Speaker 2: higher day by day. I mean the service that's I
Speaker 2: was planning on going out there. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: be able to make it in one day this weekend,
Speaker 2: but they will see seventy plus thousand people out there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and.
Speaker 3: There's two little two teenage kids here on the street
Speaker 3: who is starting one at the local high school. I
Speaker 3: spoke at a Turning Points event in Butler, Pennsylvania this summer,
Speaker 3: and it was at Slippery Rocket University and it was
Speaker 3: jam packed, like it was jam packed, and there were
Speaker 3: kids everywhere. So this is and as a note in
Speaker 3: this story, this isn't this awakening. I have noticed the
Speaker 3: beginning and last summer and we began among young people,
Speaker 3: and I kept and I write it in the book,
Speaker 3: but I kept reporting it as well, said telling people
Speaker 3: like y'all aren't paying attention to these young people. They're here,
Speaker 3: they're at the Trump rallies, right. They see the intertwined
Speaker 3: messages from protecting religious liberty to republic conservative populism, and
Speaker 3: it's a message that hits them. It's something that's been missing.
Speaker 3: Last last night, I sat for ninety minutes of my
Speaker 3: little grandson's flag football practice, and the amount of mothers
Speaker 3: that have been suburban mothers. Again, different group of mothers
Speaker 3: talking about what happened to Charlie Kirk. These are women
Speaker 3: in their mid thirties who have little boys that were
Speaker 3: playing flag football, who were talking about their thinking about homeschooling.
Speaker 3: Now they don't like what they see from the influences
Speaker 3: from these teachers. They're thinking. They're devastated by what they're
Speaker 3: seeing that other community leaders like doctors and nurses are
Speaker 3: and they're mad. They're not just sad, they're mad. And
Speaker 3: I don't think that people understand the force that they
Speaker 3: have awakened with not just in his assassination, but also
Speaker 3: in how they have behaved afterwards, whether it is denying
Speaker 3: it or encouraging it to happen to other people that
Speaker 3: are conservative, populous.
Speaker 2: I don't like outside events because nobody's going to be
Speaker 2: able to afford a secret service type of protection, which
Speaker 2: is what you would need if you're doing an outside event.
Speaker 2: So I'm urging people, you got to go inside, make
Speaker 2: sure everybody gets magged before they come in. You can
Speaker 2: do a sweep before of an inside area and make
Speaker 2: it secure and then you know, you then go in
Speaker 2: and do your event. You know, at that point you know,
Speaker 2: I also recommend that you be on a stage, that
Speaker 2: you be elevated and not on the same level as
Speaker 2: the people that are in the room, because they can
Speaker 2: rush you, and you know, at that point you get
Speaker 2: have people off stage. I've had that type of security
Speaker 2: many many times in my life.
Speaker 3: Yes, And instead of recoiling, and that's a really important point, Sean,
Speaker 3: instead of recoiling and my reporting all day, it'll probably
Speaker 3: be out on Friday about the amount of women who
Speaker 3: have gone to local gun stores just in western Pennsylvania
Speaker 3: as first time gun owners and wanting to be and
Speaker 3: signing up for training has been through the roof.
Speaker 1: I think the keyboard there is training over the years.
Speaker 1: People know.
Speaker 2: I've had a pistol carried my whole life, even in
Speaker 2: New York City if you get it, and that's hard
Speaker 2: to get if you get enough death threats. I even
Speaker 2: had one when I lived in New York, believe it
Speaker 2: or not, I turned it in when I moved to Florida. However,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to get and you really have
Speaker 2: to make a compelling case why you need one, and
Speaker 2: you get enough death threats, I guess I passed the threshold. Selena,
Speaker 2: I guess I'm not that like, but I mean, it's
Speaker 2: kind of scary out there. I urge everybody to have something.
Speaker 2: I mean I have obviously I carry I have a
Speaker 2: six hour P three twenty and I also carry Berner.
Speaker 2: I carry the new cl launcher. It's a non lethal,
Speaker 2: very effective technology way to incapacitate any perpetrator. So I
Speaker 2: urge people their advertisers on the show, and I believe
Speaker 2: in it.
Speaker 3: I'm the same way, same person get death threats all
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 5: And.
Speaker 2: People don't know, those of us that are in the
Speaker 2: public eye that this is this happens with regularity. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I have because we don't because we don't talk about it.
Speaker 2: We just keep it to ourselves. You don't want to
Speaker 2: call attention to it.
Speaker 3: That is absolutely right. And and yeah, so the so
Speaker 3: the gunshops that I've been talking to said, you know,
Speaker 3: there's all of these people are being very responsible. They
Speaker 3: want to learn. They don't want to just buy a gun.
Speaker 3: They want to understand how to work it. And most
Speaker 3: of the gunshops that I've talked to have have target
Speaker 3: practice and behind their buildings, right, and so they go
Speaker 3: right to a professional. But people just don't feel safe
Speaker 3: among their neighbors. Like, think about that, Sean. Think about
Speaker 3: the amount of doctors we have seen, and nurses and
Speaker 3: people that teach our children and our grandchildren that they
Speaker 3: have not just said, oh, I didn't like him, like
Speaker 3: so whide. If someone says that I don't care, but
Speaker 3: have just said like I wish the rest of them
Speaker 3: would die too, it's like, oh, wait a minute, you're
Speaker 3: talking about me. You're talking about me your patient, And
Speaker 3: it's very chilling.
Speaker 2: The amount of hatred we've seen. What's your reaction to it.
Speaker 2: I've chronicled a lot of it.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I didn't cry after Butler. When you and I've talked that,
Speaker 3: I wondered when it would happen. I think a lot
Speaker 3: of that had to do with sort of how to
Speaker 3: work immediately, right. I had to work in the moment,
Speaker 3: so it's never given that space to consume what I experienced.
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what. I cried my eyes out
Speaker 3: on Wednesday, first for Charlie and Erica, and then for
Speaker 3: the young people he influenced. But then as I saw
Speaker 3: the hatred come out, it broke me. I can't believe
Speaker 3: there are people out there that can think like that.
Speaker 3: There are plenty of people that I don't agree with,
Speaker 3: maybe even don't like. I would never think about saying
Speaker 3: something like that when.
Speaker 2: You think about what you lived through at Butler, being
Speaker 2: right there in the front row, right near the president
Speaker 2: when the shot rang out. We now know, by the way,
Speaker 2: the distance of a millimeter more profoundly than ever. And
Speaker 2: you think back to that day and how how close
Speaker 2: Donald Trump came to being assassinated right in front of
Speaker 2: your eyes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I realined that moment every night when I
Speaker 3: say my prayers, and I and I and I relived
Speaker 3: the conversation that I had with him the next day
Speaker 3: along with that. And that's when he talks about God,
Speaker 3: when he talks about divine intervention and intervention. What was
Speaker 3: my purpose, Selena? Why am I still here? I never
Speaker 3: ever turned my head. I never put a chart down,
Speaker 3: at least not on that side, and never in the beginning,
Speaker 3: sometimes at the end. And he talked profoundly about how
Speaker 3: his faith was moved in that moment, and I can't
Speaker 3: imagine if both of them were gone right now, I
Speaker 3: can't even imagine.
Speaker 2: I've had this conversation with it myself, and I would argue,
Speaker 2: having known him for thirty years, that that day, that
Speaker 2: moment changed him in every good way, to be very honest,
Speaker 2: and we have had conversations with it. You know, I
Speaker 2: talked to him. He has not looked at the video
Speaker 2: of Charlie getting shot. He says he won't look at it.
Speaker 3: I you know, I understand that, and you know what
Speaker 3: I was thinking about, Sean. You know, one of the
Speaker 3: things that really has gutted the president and and motivated
Speaker 3: him to be so purposeful in everything that he's done
Speaker 3: is not the fact that he was shot at, but
Speaker 3: the fact that Corey Comparatoy died, someone who went there
Speaker 3: that day to celebrate him, to celebrate President Trump with
Speaker 3: his family, and in many ways, that's what Charlie was doing.
Speaker 3: He was celebrating the movement, he was talking about things
Speaker 3: in a very and so I'm not shocked at all
Speaker 3: that that's his response, because in many ways, Charlie and
Speaker 3: Corey COMPATORI were there for reasons that are very associated
Speaker 3: with President Trump. I can't imagine how hard this is
Speaker 3: on him.
Speaker 2: It's I think we now are officially living in an
Speaker 2: assassination culture and we better be very aware of it.
Speaker 2: And the left really does need to examine their consciences
Speaker 2: collectively and tone this rhetoric down, as John Fetterman said,
Speaker 2: and stop with the Nazi talk and allegations.
Speaker 1: Selena, love you, You're the best.
Speaker 2: By the way, if you have not read her book Butler,
Speaker 2: number one New York Times bestseller, we have a link
Speaker 2: on Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com, bookstores all around
Speaker 2: the country. It's called Butler, The Untold Story of the
Speaker 2: near Assassination of Donald Trump in the Fight for America's Heartland.
Speaker 2: We appreciate you as always, Selena, thank you, thank you,
Speaker 2: love you brother the best. Quick break right back. We'll
Speaker 2: continue on the other side.
Speaker 1: Quarterm.
Speaker 2: There is a beautiful part and some that there's some
Speaker 2: we we are not going to be able to calculate
Speaker 2: through the prism of history. We will the magnitude and
Speaker 2: the impact of what has happened with this assassination of
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk. We just but it all the evidences. As
Speaker 2: we just discussed what Selena Zito is there. I want
Speaker 2: to play a montage people going to church and saying
Speaker 2: how their churches were packed because of what we all
Speaker 2: have been living through.
Speaker 3: I have been to.
Speaker 1: Church like twice in my entire life.
Speaker 2: Since Charlie Kirk is unable to go to church this Sunday,
Speaker 2: I'm going to go and take his seat for him.
Speaker 4: Els.
Speaker 1: I didn't know Charlie Kirk, never met that guy before
Speaker 1: in my life.
Speaker 5: And something else that I've never done before in my
Speaker 5: life is believing.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wear this suit to church. I'm going to
Speaker 1: go to church.
Speaker 5: I'm going to try to be a better father, husband
Speaker 5: and leader for my family.
Speaker 1: They deserve that.
Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk, Look what you did. No parking, No parking
Speaker 5: at all none. How to park like five blocks away
Speaker 5: from church because everyone wants to come now? Amen, Thank
Speaker 5: you Jesus, Thank you, Charlie.
Speaker 1: We went to church today.
Speaker 6: It was the first time in twenty years for me
Speaker 6: and Devon. It was the first time for our children.
Speaker 6: After the events of the last week, Devin and I
Speaker 6: had a lot of talking that was happening between us
Speaker 6: about the type of life that we want for ourselves
Speaker 6: and how we want our boys to be. You know,
Speaker 6: we talk about Charlie Kirk, We talked about a man
Speaker 6: of God who was not afraid to stand in his
Speaker 6: convictions in anything. And we are raising three boys that
Speaker 6: will one day be men, and we want those boys
Speaker 6: to be as strong in their convictions as Charlie Kirk was.
Speaker 1: Wow, how powerful is that? You know?
Speaker 2: I will say I love my parents for so many
Speaker 2: different reasons, and I know that they had a much
Speaker 2: harder life than me, and I know I stand on
Speaker 2: their shoulders and the shoulders of my four grandparents that
Speaker 2: came to this country legally from Ireland, and they they
Speaker 2: grew up poor. My parents grew up poor, and my
Speaker 2: parents sacrifice so much, my mother prison guard, working double shifts.
Speaker 2: The main reason was to give their kids a better education.
Speaker 2: And that that manifested itself by sending, you know, all
Speaker 2: all their kids to Catholic schools. And I went to
Speaker 2: Catholic schools for four years, and whether I knew what
Speaker 2: was happening or not, it did happen. And that is
Speaker 2: that those values and belief in God grew inside of me,
Speaker 2: whether I knew it was happening or not. And as
Speaker 2: I got older, then I just embraced it more and
Speaker 2: more and more and again. Christians, the first thing that
Speaker 2: they will acknowledge is we've all sinned and fallen short.
Speaker 2: We just want to be better people, and we're asking
Speaker 2: for forgiveness for sins and we're asking for help to
Speaker 2: be bigger, better people. And the fact that so many people,
Speaker 2: you know, misrepresent what it means to be a Christian
Speaker 2: is it's it's a it's a sore point for me because, oh,
Speaker 2: Christians think they're perfect. No, they just they just have
Speaker 2: a belief system and they have a desire to be
Speaker 2: their best person, their best self.
Speaker 1: And to hear that is pretty amazing.
Speaker 2: And if when people interview me and they'll say, well, well,
Speaker 2: how did you survive where so many others, you know,
Speaker 2: have not been able to survive as long as you
Speaker 2: have in the industry that you work in, you know,
Speaker 2: I go back to my parents. I go back to
Speaker 2: the values of hard work and faith that they instilled
Speaker 2: in me. And they never took vacations because they were
Speaker 2: spending all that money on Catholic schools they could barely afford.
Speaker 2: And that my belief in my faith in God is
Speaker 2: the other thing I've said this on the air before,
Speaker 2: not new, but I'm just sharing it with you now.
Speaker 2: And that foundation is at the heart of I think
Speaker 2: in an industry where, you know, all those years I
Speaker 2: worked in restaurants, ten years and ten years in construction,
Speaker 2: nobody wants your autograph, nobody wanted a sel Fiel. Those
Speaker 2: selfies weren't a thing back then.
Speaker 1: And and while I might get, you know, request now, which
Speaker 1: I'm very grateful to, always accommodate because I feel great.
Speaker 2: I'm grateful to this audience for giving me this microphone
Speaker 2: and that camera every night. But it's really those things
Speaker 2: that that have kept me somewhat grounded. Linda would argue
Speaker 2: maybe not fully grounded, but that's a different issue for
Speaker 2: a different day. But you know, my faith grows as
Speaker 2: stronger as I get older, and I don't think I
Speaker 2: you know, there's a belief in the Bible that of
Speaker 2: yourself you can do nothing, and it's true and that
Speaker 2: every you know, I consider my life an undeserved life,
Speaker 2: and I know many of many of us life is
Speaker 2: a gift and is precious and Charlie left us way
Speaker 2: too young, gets our busy phones eight hundred and nine
Speaker 2: four one sean. If you want to be a part
Speaker 2: of the program. Mike in California. Hey, Mike, how are
Speaker 2: you glad you called great Sean.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to start with I'm glad you were
Speaker 4: talking about what you just spoke about just now. And
Speaker 4: I'm a teacher and we're Thean minister in California third grade.
Speaker 4: I just feel like the left is really trying to
Speaker 4: paint Charlie as a political commentator. They keep saying out
Speaker 4: our political firebrand, political political political But what he is,
Speaker 4: what he is to us who believe, is he's a
Speaker 4: Christian martyr, and he's an American Christian martyr, the most
Speaker 4: prominent one since Martin Luther King Junior, which they've tried.
Speaker 4: I teach history, and when you read the history books,
Speaker 4: it's doctor Martin Luther King now junior, and I have
Speaker 4: to tell him, well, it's reverend doctor. I have to
Speaker 4: tell him what he had a doctor of because and
Speaker 4: you have to insert that, because they're trying to wipe
Speaker 4: Christianity from the face of America. And it's a total
Speaker 4: disservice to him and a loss of honor to his
Speaker 4: memory than not calling an American Christian martyr because he
Speaker 4: died for his faith. Everything he talked about all the
Speaker 4: time was rooted in faith, just like you said your
Speaker 4: morals are rooted in your faith. Was he was constantly
Speaker 4: like he talked about the nature of God, he descended Christianity,
Speaker 4: he talked about the nature of man. Against the transgender indoctrination,
Speaker 4: which is, I believe, religious dogma in itself, because if
Speaker 4: you ask a transgender person give me an immutable characteristic
Speaker 4: of a man or a woman, they can't a physical one.
Speaker 4: It all goes to metaphysical and metaphysics is a department
Speaker 4: of religion. So they are trying to indoctrinate with religious dogma,
Speaker 4: and they've been successful establishing religion in the name of
Speaker 4: government all over the place. And I actually like that
Speaker 4: and needs to get fought on that. But my main
Speaker 4: point today is just that we need to refer to
Speaker 4: Charlie as an American.
Speaker 1: See.
Speaker 2: But this is why Charlie was such a shock to
Speaker 2: the system when he'd go into these hostile environments and
Speaker 2: he'd talk about faith and God and values and you know,
Speaker 2: old fashioned values about how men should treat women, you know,
Speaker 2: not going to frap parties and throwing up in the
Speaker 2: bushes after I mean I had my rules for my
Speaker 2: kids when they went to college. If I told them
Speaker 2: in the way I told it to them, you would laugh,
Speaker 2: I promise, and he would do it. And the shocking
Speaker 2: thing is is because schools barely mention God anymore. It
Speaker 2: was a shock to the system. And because they are
Speaker 2: in doctrination centers, it was a shock to the system.
Speaker 2: And that's what made it all the more powerful. It
Speaker 2: was also moment of affirmation for kids that did have
Speaker 2: these values but felt, you know, a need to be quiet. Anyway, Mike,
Speaker 2: I appreciate your call, man, Thank you. You make great points.
Speaker 2: Quick break right back. We'll get to your calls. Eight
Speaker 2: hundred ninety four one Sean is our number. If you
Speaker 2: want to be a part of the program.
Speaker 3: The final Hour roundup is next. You do not want
Speaker 3: to miss it, and stay tuned for the final hour
Speaker 3: Free for all on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 2: Back to our busy phones eight hundred ninety four one
Speaker 2: Sean if you want to join us. Sharon is in Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Sharon apparently disagrees with me. Sharon, but I am glad
Speaker 2: you called. How are you hi?
Speaker 7: Sean? Listen to you for twenty plus years yeah, I
Speaker 7: just wanted to reiterate the points Rachel was making yesterday
Speaker 7: and give you something else to think about in regards
Speaker 7: to your stance on profess in colleges. She was completely
Speaker 7: right about everything she said. And I ask you this,
Speaker 7: what do you think Charlie would do. He would not
Speaker 7: want you to just he would not, in any sense
Speaker 7: of the word, just not do anything or say anything
Speaker 7: for a grade. I don't think it's what he was
Speaker 7: all about. I'm so devastated that he's gone. But I
Speaker 7: want you to change your stance. I want you to
Speaker 7: stop giving it on the radio as just go along,
Speaker 7: get along, to get your grade, and then get out
Speaker 7: fight it, fight a professor.
Speaker 2: So let me be clear though, because you're not the
Speaker 2: only one that has challenged me on this, and I'm
Speaker 2: actually very very open to listening to what you have
Speaker 2: to say. I'm talking about very very unique circumstances. I'm
Speaker 2: talking about. You know, it is so hard, all right,
Speaker 2: if we start with the idea, and this comes from
Speaker 2: the Latin derivative. I did learn Latin, I did go
Speaker 2: to a seminary high school, and we did study theology.
Speaker 2: I did go to mass every day. But one of
Speaker 2: the few words I remember in Latin is a ducreda
Speaker 2: education to bring forth from within. I think that's predicated
Speaker 2: on a belief that everybody is born with God's talent.
Speaker 2: Everybody that I know that's a fireman, a policeman, a teacher,
Speaker 2: a doctor, you know, every one of them, without exception
Speaker 2: a nurse, they are called to do so. It's been
Speaker 2: a dream of there's a pilot they're called to do
Speaker 2: so they've wanted to do it their whole life. So
Speaker 2: I'm really I'm talking about very specific, unique circumstances where
Speaker 2: people have this desire, this calling that they want to
Speaker 2: serve and be a teacher or a doctor, and they
Speaker 2: want to get into medical school or law school, or
Speaker 2: business school or postgraduate school. And they know if they
Speaker 2: have one of these crazy left wing teachers and they
Speaker 2: challenge them, that it is going to significantly. One bad
Speaker 2: grade can make the difference between getting into that school
Speaker 2: and not. I'm not going to condemn the kid that says,
Speaker 2: all right, I'll play the game. I know I'm playing
Speaker 2: a game, and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna be
Speaker 2: critical of them for doing that. If kids have the
Speaker 2: freedom that I made the choice in college myself to
Speaker 2: fight my teacher. There's the guy that said he's a
Speaker 2: Marxist and communist, And it took up the entire you know,
Speaker 2: second half of the semester because I couldn't take it anymore.
Speaker 2: And Reagan was president. We thought about Reagan the guy.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It was everyone was like rolling their eyes every time
Speaker 2: I'd start in with the guy. So I hope you
Speaker 2: understand I'm talking about a very unique circumstance when people
Speaker 2: are pursuing their calling in life. And I don't think
Speaker 2: I explained it as well as I meant it. And
Speaker 2: if you still disagree with me, tell me, yes, I do.
Speaker 7: Still disagree with you. I am a critical care registered
Speaker 7: nurse and what I will say is, you know what
Speaker 7: you went through many many many years ago. It's changed now.
Speaker 7: Charlie made a movement. He's caused a movement, and these
Speaker 7: young gen zs they're on a roll, and I want
Speaker 7: them to keep being on a role. I want them
Speaker 7: to be outspoken. I want them to express themselves, and
Speaker 7: I want you to back them up and do what
Speaker 7: Charlie would have done.
Speaker 1: That's well one way to back them up.
Speaker 2: And this is part of turning point that I really
Speaker 2: support is they have for high school kids and for
Speaker 2: college kids.
Speaker 1: You know, what do you do?
Speaker 2: How do you fight back against woke teachers and indoctrination?
Speaker 2: And I would urge kids to go to the Turning
Speaker 2: Point website and learn how to do that, and that
Speaker 2: is an alternative for sure. I would say that's a
Speaker 2: great option. I agree with you.
Speaker 7: I think that you know, you can respectfully disagree with
Speaker 7: your professor, and if he still causes you problems, you
Speaker 7: can take it to the proper authorities, and if worse
Speaker 7: come to worre sean take the class over. I am
Speaker 7: a critical care nurse. I've done this my whole life.
Speaker 7: It's all I ever wanted to do. But there is
Speaker 7: no way I would have put up with a teacher
Speaker 7: preventing me or you know, confronting me with a Marxist attitude.
Speaker 7: We have to keep this going. We have to keep
Speaker 7: this going for listen.
Speaker 2: I love your fire. I'm I'm mostly agreeing with you.
Speaker 2: I'm just not going to be critical of the kid
Speaker 2: that has a dream that would be destroyed. I'm not
Speaker 2: going to be critical of that. I hope that kind
Speaker 2: of answers your question. Eight hundred nine, one, Shawn is
Speaker 2: a number of and people make great points on this.
Speaker 2: It's just so hard. I'd have seen this for kids
Speaker 2: to get into some of these these you know, post college,
Speaker 2: you know programs, it's it's so competitive, especially like medical school.
