WEBVTT - Executive Disorder: White House Weekly #33 0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:07.760 Cool Zone Media. 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:11.639 This is it could happen here. Executive Disorder, our weekly 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.200 newscast covering what is happening in the White House, the 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.880 crumbling world, and what it means for you. I'm Garrison 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:20.680 Davis today I'm joined by Sophie Lecterman, Robert Evans, and 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.919 James Stout. This episode, we are covering the week of 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.880 September fourth to September eleventh. 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:32.640 Never wait, remember, wait, what never forget whichever one of 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:33.600 those were supposed to do. 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.920 So we had a very big news week already, and 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.680 then a very big piece of news happened yesterday, when 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:46.400 we usually record Executive Disorder, but this is Thursday. We 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:50.000 waited a little bit to get some more information before 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.159 we talk about this story, which'll probably be the biggest 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:57.200 story of the week, the assassination of Charlie Kirk. 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.680 So On Wednesday, September tenth, at Utah Valley University at 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:06.200 around twelve to twenty three pm Mountain time, Charlie kirk 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.680 was shot during a campus event. It was a big 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.520 outdoor event. The crowd, I mean, there's some good footage 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.840 of elevation of the size of the crowd it was. 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.000 It looked like several thousand people who had shown up 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.320 to I think it did all. It seemed like largely supporters, 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.440 but there was certainly a mix of supporters and protesters around. 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.240 And yeah, Kirk was shot once from a distance of 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.199 I think the right now, the best estimate is around 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:35.240 one hundred and fifty yards. I mean, that's precise, not accurate, 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:37.800 because people are kind of basing it on just sort 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.920 of like looking at the images and doing like maps, 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.680 the satellite estimation, right, right, But that does seem credible 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.240 based on what I've seen, about one hundred and fifty 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.040 yards or so, which is not long range. That's not 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:53.559 like short range. It's like low medium range for a rifle. 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.760 And they found, or at least the FBI is saying 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.760 they found the rifle, and the pictures show it to 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.480 be an extremely normal looking bolt action rifle. Kirk was 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.240 shot once in the neck. It hit his brain stem. 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.480 You can kind of tell by the way his arms 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:10.000 moved after he was shot, so he probably lost consciousness immediately, 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.600 and he was declared dead about two hours later at 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.960 the hospital. But that's largely because that tends to be 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.680 how it's handled when somebody has shot like this, they 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.400 don't like to announce their death immediately, even if they 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.600 died immediately, Like that's just kind of it's best pret 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.840 you want to make sure you've contacted the family and 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.840 everything like that. So that's what happened. 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.320 Yeah, and his case of family were present I think 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:36.720 at at the event. 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.000 I mean, I'm sure some of them, but there's yeah, 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.280 like not ever, like they would have probably wanted, Like 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.920 I doubt his parents or whatever were all there or whatever, 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.119 like even if his wife and kids were sure. 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:48.120 Yeah, toty makes sense. 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.280 Yeah, yeah, Yeah, those are the facts that we can verify, 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.040 and there's actually fairly little besides this other than some 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:58.280 time stuff that we can verify perfectly. Like they're currently 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.360 saying that about eleven fifty two a mountain time the 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.160 shooter arrived near campus, because they do have some videos 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.760 of the person they think was the shooter. There were 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.240 at least two people who were taken into custody right 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.840 after the shooting who proved not to be the guy, 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.200 and I think they were just grabbing people like it 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.000 did not they did not seem to be any good reason. 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.320 One of them had a pellet rifle. 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.560 The first guy started shouting after the shooting. And I'll 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.840 do it again. And this prompted him to be detained, 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:30.480 but was later found to not be a legitimate suspect 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:31.040 in the shooting. 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.280 No, because he was right next to the shooting. Yeah, 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.760 had no weapon, nothing. So I mean, those are the 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.640 facts as they stand right now. The photo that has 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.760 been released of the guy they think did it looks 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.880 like about eighty percent of the male population of Utah 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:55.000 clean shaven, but otherwise he looked just as nondescriptives like 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.400 this dude takes his hat off, maybe shaves his head, 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.240 like it would not be wildly difficult for him to 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.440 hide because he does not look like pretty greeny. 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:07.160 Picture is not as clear as something like the United 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:08.400 Healthcare CEO shooting. 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:12.520 Yeah, and the FBI did offer a reward of up 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.560 to one hundred thousand dollars for information. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:21.400 We do know that, Yeah, which points towards the usefulness 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.920 of the tips they have been getting so far. Exactly. 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.719 Yeah. Yeah, the rifle is for anyone who's interested. It 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:29.240 looks they thought it was a Mauser. 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:33.040 I guess it didn't look like one from the photos 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.719 that they released, but maybe that maybe that was yet again, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.920 not the gun because the FBI has said a lot 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:39.560 of things and then backtracked on it. 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:43.039 Yeah, the New York Post has a pit sho of 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:47.640 a sporterized Spanish mauser with a composite stock. Have you 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:48.920 seen that one, Robert. 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.400 Yes, that's the one I saw that. It looked like 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.760 a savage to me. But is that is that a 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.000 sportized eight millimeter that was rebarreled the thirty eight six? 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.360 That would be my guest, the Spanish mausers, you anyone 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.560 I'm aware of that the bolt turned down in that way. 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.960 Good idea, but that it's not a great picture. It 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:06.520 could also be something else. 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.680 Because it just looked like any hunting rifle on a 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.880 store rack the photo that I saw. 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:13.960 Yeah, yeah, No, I think it's someone who has done 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:15.359 a sported job on it. 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:16.000 Yeah. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.039 What's somewhat interesting about that, like, other than just being 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:24.479 a dweeb, is that potentially one could acquire a gun 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.800 like that without having filled out forty four to seventy 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.760 three form right like an FBI background check. I know 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.560 they will if they have the weapon, they will certainly 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.960 be pursuing trying to trace that as one of the 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.400 ways they're trying to locate the shooter. Yes, so if 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.640 this person's either a relative could have acquired it before 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.560 it was necessary to do a forty four to seventy 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.359 three yes, or I think with curios and relics in 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.599 some states, or antique weapons, you don't have to do 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:52.520 a background check. 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.760 No, and you don't have to do a background check. 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.320 I mean, face to face sales are I believe legal 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.640 in Utah. Yes, private face to face sales are legal 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:02.240 in Utah. 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:02.760 Okay. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.080 So if this guy bought basically, what that means is 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.240 if this guy just bought a gun in cash from 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.160 a dude, there's not a record of that, although said 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:11.360 dude might come forward. 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:11.799 Sure. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.880 That said, the fact that this is a sportized old 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.320 mouser means this could be a gun that's put in 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.960 the family a while that he's sportized, in which case 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.720 there's absolutely no record of it. 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.960 Yeah. Yeah, definitely, I'm guessing. I've seen people call it 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.320 a high powered rifle and stuff like. Just just be 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:29.640 aware it's kind of an old gun. 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.120 It's an old gun. I mean, if it's thirty, If 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:33.960 it is thirty at six, I would say that's a 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.120 high power cartridge. H No, it is, that's a big 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:37.800 round but yeah. 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.480 It's a full size rifle cartridge for sure. 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.560 People hunt deer with thirty at six all the time. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.800 It's an extremely normal hunting rifle. 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.640 Yeah, like probably top five most common kinds of rifle 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.080 for someone to have in this country. 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.640 And that was bolt action hunting rifles my assumption as 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.000 soon as I saw the video, because the guy fired 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.760 one shot, and it's relatively uncommon for people who are 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:02.359 shooting in mass crowded public situations like this to limit 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.040 themselves to a single round, which it just suggests number one, 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.400 like a bolt action, which I also thought was likely 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.840 because they didn't leave any amo behind. And if he 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.280 was firing something like an ar, those can fling brass 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.640 so widely that you can't easily catch it, like if 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.360 you're especially if you're trying to escape immediately after shooting. 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.240 And yeah, I would guess. I'm seeing a lot of 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.760 people online obviously conspiracy start. I'm seeing so many people 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.160 say like this had to have been a hit, This 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.640 was a professional, only a professional hit have done. 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:34.040 This Trump distracting from Epstein, this was the massage that 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:38.320 this was any number of unhinged theories around nice. 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.520 Event, And I will say, right now as pertains the 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.960 competence of the shooter. Anyone who had picked up a 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.640 gun for the first time couldn't have easily done this, 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.800 Like I doubt this as someone who was new to firearms, 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.280 but anyone who like shot a deer once or twice 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.480 a year could have made this happen. Anybody who went 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.200 to the range, you know, once or twice a month 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.000 for a while, could have gotten competent enough to make 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.920 a shot like this very easily, very doable for like 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.240 hobbyist shooters, which there are many of in the United 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.000 States and any other in Utah. I would be shocked 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.600 if like less than about eighty percent of the adult 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.560 male population of Utah could have made the shot. Right. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.640 You do not need like military training, You do not 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:19.239 need to be a veteran to make this shot. 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:20.240 Absolutely not. 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.200 And I think it's very irresponsible to see so many people, 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.800 like including people who are journalists, speculating like that. Like 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.240 I know that generally firearms are not covered well in 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.800 the US media despite being ubiquitous here, but like in 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.079 cases like this, it's okay no to no, but it's 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:36.520 better to be quiet if you don't know. 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.640 Yes, the other thing I guess we should get into 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.960 is in terms of the escape and what we know. 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:47.600 This is also not something that necessitates fucking Navy seal training, right, Like, Yeah, 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:51.840 you're a white, clean cut guy in fucking Salt Lake City. 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.400 If you have a bag that you could hide your 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.720 gun in and you get down, maybe throw on a 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.439 different jacket or something like that over your shirt or 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:03.280 change shirt. It's walk away, get to your car, drive off, 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.640 very hard for them to track you. Saltlake said, He's 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.280 not New York. It's not blanketed in cameras, not like 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.880 New York. There's not a massive police presence for this rally, 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.199 and there certainly wasn't a massive police presence doing concentric 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.360 circles around the rally. This was not like a fucking 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.840 the President's in town and the Secret Service is walking 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:20.840 everything down for two. 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.200 Miles and Charlie's own security tends to stay close to 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.679 him at the event. They're not set up with giant perimeters. 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:29.920 No, because none of them expected something like this. 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.600 Yeah, I'm sure that Charlie Kirk has received threats before, 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.320 but yes, I mean, there's only so much a private 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.120 individual can do right in these situations. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:40.920 He often wears a bulletproof vest. 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.199 Yes, really yeah, Yeah, There's only so much a private 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.959 individual can do, And there's only so much you can 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:52.160 do if you're holding an event outside. Yeah, like to 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.760 stop somebody who's got us a scoped rifle from getting 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.200 on top of a roof, right Like. I'm sure his 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.640 family is firing their current secuity right now, obviously, But 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.120 I really don't know what they could have done, like 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.240 what his personal security could realistically have done, other than say, 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.120 don't do an event outside, Charlie. 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:10.640 Yeah. 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.559 A few other notes that we should touch on on 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:21.559 Thursday morning, some unverified information related to the ongoing investigation 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:29.160 notes leaked online through fellow campus debater Stephen Crowder. Stephen 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:34.360 Crowder shared an internal memo which contained unverified information, which reads, 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.600 in part quote atf another law enforcement located an older 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:43.400 model imported Mouser thirty odd six caliber bolt action rifle 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.400 wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.560 The location of the fire room appears to match the 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.320 suspect's route of travel. The spent cartridge was still chambered, 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.640 in addition to three unspent rounds in the top fed 0:10:55.720 --> 0:11:01.200 magazine all cartridges have engraved wording on them expressing transgender 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:06.560 and anti fascist ideology unquote. So this claim linking the 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.640 shooting to transgender and quote unquote anti fascist ideology, whatever 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.319 that means, spread around the internet like wild, as expected, 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.920 though a few hours later, the New York Times reported 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.480 quote according to a preliminary internal report circulated inside the 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.080 Bureau of Alcohol tobacko Firearms and Exposives, federal and local 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.400 officials recovered ammunition with the shooter's rifle that appeared to 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.839 be engraved with statements expressing transgender and anti fascist ideology. 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.360 But a senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.120 the investigation cautioned that report had not been verified by 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:43.640 ATF analysts, did not match other summaries of the evidence, 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.320 and might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted. 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.960 In fast moving investigations, such status reports are not made 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.160 public because they often contain a mixture of accurate and 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.560 inaccurate information unquote. 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.960 Yes and again. When that person with the pellet ride 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.360 was arrested, Cash Betel, director of the FBI, posted on Twitter, 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.559 we have the man who killed Charlie Kirk, and then 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:10.280 had to post like an hour later, Nope, which is 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.080 not a thing you saw with previous directors of the FBI. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:17.120 Yeah, for a good reason. Yeah, like that. The handling 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.640 of this has been pretty unorpthodox. 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.080 No, And I can see why a fucking Stephen Crowder 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.120 fan in the ATF would want to get that out 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.560 immediately totally, especially because he probably knew at some point 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.640 that's going to get corrected. But what matters is it 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.280 gets out for some degree of time. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.680 Yeah, and then that bakes into the reality of a 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.160 certain number of people forever. 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:37.040 Yeah. 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.600 Right, And that's what matters, whether or not it's true. 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.760 And we don't know yet is it true or not? Right, 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:42.719 We simply don't know. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:48.320 Heysus Garrison. This is just a short update. On Thursday evening, 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:52.960 law enforcement gave a press conference where Utah Governor Spencer 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:58.600 Cox cautioned against quote unquote a tremendous amount of disinformation 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.520 circulate online about the killing of Charlie Kirk and specifically 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:08.320 cited bots from China and Russia which were encouraging violence 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:13.880 and instilling disinformation into discourse around the shooting. Now, while 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.800 there certainly have been many on the left who have 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.880 been joking or even celebrating this, shooting. 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:21.640 Oh yeah, lots of people. 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.600 Rhetoric from the right has been similarly violent, with calls 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.920 to do mass violence or purge the Democrats or people 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:31.880 on the left. I'm going to play video of the 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:35.280 White House released late Wednesday night of Trump giving a 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.200 statement on the shooting. 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.560 It's a long past time for all Americans and the 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.960 media to confront the fact that violence and murder are 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:50.119 the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree, 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.720 day after day, year after year, in the most hateful 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:58.120 and despicable way possible. For years, those on the radical 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:02.880 left have compared one for Americans like Charlie to Nazis 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:08.000 and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:13.040 of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:17.640 seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now. 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.040 My administration will find each and every one of those 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:26.560 who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.800 including the organizations that funded and support it, as well 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:35.479 as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:39.640 and everyone else who brings order to our country. From 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:43.000 the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania last year, 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.360 which killed a husband, and father, to the attacks on 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.600 ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a healthcare executive 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.720 in the streets of New York, to the shooting of 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:58.320 House Majority leaders Steve Scalise and three others. Radical of 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:02.880 political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:04.000 too many lives. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.720 The Trump assassin was not left wing. 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.760 No, now, he was a registered Republican. 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.960 There's currently no indication of the political alignment of this 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.200 shooter whatsoever. Just because they killed Charlie Kirk does not 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.320 mean that this was a left wing ANTIFA super soldier. 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.520 Charlie Kirk has had a memafied status on the Internet 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.560 for the past few years, which has encouraged vitriol and 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.320 threats from those on the extreme right as well as 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:31.120 the far left. 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.040 Yeah, he's particularly disliked by like the hardcore anti Semites 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:36.160 on their right, and. 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:40.080 The Gropers have long had fun with making threats against 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.680 Charlie Kirk in the quote unquote groper war, which we 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.400 don't have time to get into. But it's not just 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:50.360 Trump's worrying statement there promising a degree of crackdown. Jesse 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:55.240 Waters on Fox has claimed, quote, We're gonna avenge Charlie's death. Yep, 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.160 here's a clip of Jesse Waters on Fox News last night. 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.120 Trump gets hit in the ear, Charlie gets shot dead. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:08.000 They came after Kavanaugh with a rifle to his neighborhood. 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.920 They went after Musk's cars. They just shot two Jews 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:13.040 outside the embassy. 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:14.920 Think about it. 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.280 Schlice got shot, barely survived. 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:19.000 It's happening. 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:23.640 We've got transshooters, we got riots and la They are 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.360 at war with us. Whether we want to accept it 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.680 or not, they are at war with us. 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:30.440 What are we going to do about it? 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:34.480 How much political violence are we going to tolerate? And 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.440 that's the question we're just going to have to ask 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:40.920 ourselves now. Charlie would want us to put as much 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:45.600 pressure on these people as possible. Dana nailed it. This 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:49.520 is unacceptable and has to stop, and it has to 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:50.440 stop now. 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:52.400 And everybody's accountable. 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.840 And we're watching what they're saying on television and who's 0:16:55.880 --> 0:17:00.280 saying what the politicians and the media and all these 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.600 rats out there. This can never happen again. It ends now. 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.159 Greg's right again, this is a turning point, and we 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:09.520 know which direction we're going. 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.000 He made a turning point Joe huh. 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.200 Yes, that's Jesse Waters doing a turning point time. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:19.520 Well, so the use of rats to refer to other 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:24.119 people's I know he's giving like radio mil Collan vibes. 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:28.680 It's also worth noting Republican Representative Clay Higgins from Louisiana 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.120 is saying that he's seeking to have social media companies 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.640 place lifetime bans on users who celebrated the assassination. 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:40.159 It's not just Jesse Waters calling for war. Other commentators 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.520 are employing very similar rhetoric, including Alex Jones and Steve Bannon. 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:44.520 We're in a war. 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.920 The Latins was saying, put a bullsa on trumpet bulls 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:48.760 on his supporters. 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.120 Charlie Kirk's a casualty of war. 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:53.800 We're in this country. 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.600 Chaia Wricheck tweeted on the lips of TikTok account quote 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:01.760 this is war. The oas Keep founder Stuart Rhodes announced 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.199 on Info Wars that his militia would be reforming to 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.119 help with security at right wing events. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:08.000 Mat oh gosh. 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.800 It was a good Wired article Wednesday night, which collected 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.879 various calls to violence among the right in the aftermath 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.960 of the shooting. Quote Ed Martin US pardon attorney and 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:19.720 former acting with Stornay for DC wrote on Twitter, quote 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.400 for it is written, vengeance is mine. I will repay, 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:27.359 says the Lord. Citing Romans. Twelve nineteen, Elon Musk posted 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.560 the left is the party of murder, then quoted a 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.159 post blaming the left wing and mainstream media, as well 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.480 as figures like Gavin Newsom for radicalizing people against right 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:39.160 wing figures like Kirk Kitty Miller, who works with Musquet 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.760 Doge and is the wife of Stephen Miller, wrote on 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.359 x that even liberals condemning violence quote have blood on 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:49.320 their hands. You could be. Next. Influencer and unofficial Trump 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.600 advisor Laura Lumer posted on Twitter, the left are terrorists. 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:56.399 Christopher Ruffo, a conservative activist who popularized the demonization of 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:59.280 critical race theory, suggested in a Twitter post that the 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.440 radical left responsible for the shooting and urged the US 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:06.080 government to quote infiltrate, disrupt, arrest, and incars rate all 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.480 those who are responsible for this chaos unquote. There's many, 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:14.720 many more. This is after the right has long celebrated 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.240 certain types of political violence. 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:18.800 Oh yes, constantly. 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.760 Yeah, like that old guy in Panama who shot a 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:26.359 protester blocking the street. The entire right rallied behind that man. 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.679 Kirk himself has embraced Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot and killed 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:35.080 two people after a plastic bag was thrown in the 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:39.119 direction of Kyle Rittenhouse. Kirk was vocally supportive of the 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.399 man who tried to attack Nancy Pelosi in her home 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:44.320 and did attack pol Pelosi. 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:48.120 Yes, specifically specifically urged his audience to bail him out. 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:52.000 It was like not even two months ago that Minnesota 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:56.280 state senator and her husband were killed. Political violence exists 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.960 across the spectrum. This is not a left wing problem. 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:01.600 This is an American problem. 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:02.040 Yeah. 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.360 I mean the vast majority of political of like terrorist 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.080 attacks that are politically motivated in the US are right 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.680 wing like and have been for the last several decades. 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:12.080 Per the FBI, in. 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:15.000 The twenty twelve to twenty twenty one, fifty five percent 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:19.840 of murders tied to political extremism came from white supremacy 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:23.200 fourteen percent, anti government six percent to other right wing 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:27.720 twenty percent, Islamist four percent left wing, and the white 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:30.880 supremacy fifty five percent are far right Nazis. 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:31.680 Yeah. 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.680 In terms of like, who did this? Yeah, I think 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.280 we touched on Grouper's a little bit. We should probably 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:41.000 talk a bit more about the kind of online feud 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:44.200 between a chunk of Nick fuintes Is fan base and 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:44.960 Charlie Kirk. 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:47.560 It was certainly more prominent a few years ago. As 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.240
