Speaker 1: All right, news round up, information over load hour. We
Speaker 1: have terrible news if you're just joining us. Charlie Kirk
Speaker 1: uh was at an event earlier today Utah Valley University,
Speaker 1: and he was shot. And Charlie Kirk is now dead
Speaker 1: at the age of thirty one after the shooting at
Speaker 1: this event, Turning Point USA founder CEO. He's been a
Speaker 1: friend of mine personally, very hard to take an arm Utah.
Speaker 1: Another friend of mine, Jason Chawitz, former congressman, was at
Speaker 1: the event today. He joins us. Now, Congressman, you were there,
Speaker 1: tell us what happened.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just one of the most terrific
Speaker 2: days of my life. I'll remember it forever for all
Speaker 2: the wrong reasons, because Charlie's a friend of ours. You
Speaker 2: can't be Henry publican politics and not know Charlie Kirk
Speaker 2: and be friends with him. And I had traded text
Speaker 2: messages about this event he had. I went, but parts
Speaker 2: of my family went. We were all there, and it's
Speaker 2: a beautiful day. It's noon. He comes out. There's two
Speaker 2: thousand students or so and what's called the quad Utah
Speaker 2: Valley Universities. Actually, even though we don't have a football team,
Speaker 2: so nobody neally knows who they are outside of Utah,
Speaker 2: but it's our state's largest university with forty thousand some
Speaker 2: odd students, and.
Speaker 1: It's bigger than Bringham Young, Yeah.
Speaker 2: By about ten thousand. Between BYU and UVU, they're but
Speaker 2: roughly one hundred thousand students, but full time equivalents about
Speaker 2: seventy thousand between the two. So it's a very and
Speaker 2: I'm guessing at the event there were probably ninety five
Speaker 2: percent of those people were younger than the age of thirty.
Speaker 2: And exactly what Charlie Kirk and turning point does, which is,
Speaker 2: you know, proved me wrong and let's have a dialogue.
Speaker 2: I mean, Charlie, as you know, always talked about if
Speaker 2: we can't talk, then it turns to violence. And he
Speaker 2: answered the first question Sean. So he comes out, he's
Speaker 2: throwing out the hats, getting the crowd all riled up.
Speaker 2: They're chanting USA. They were chanting Charlie Kirk. And then
Speaker 2: he sat down as he does, and in doing so,
Speaker 2: the first person came to the microphone and asked him
Speaker 2: questions and challenged him about religion. And he went very
Speaker 2: much out of his way to say I love the
Speaker 2: LDS faith, you know, predominant religion here in Utah, the
Speaker 2: Church of Jesus Christ, the Latter day Saints. He said,
Speaker 2: if you think I'm going to say bad things about
Speaker 2: the LDS people or Mormons, I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 2: But we each have our own faith journey and we
Speaker 2: each need to pray. I believe in Jesus Christ. And
Speaker 2: he was defending that and supporting that and saying in
Speaker 2: a very personal way, and even though the guy was
Speaker 2: disagreeing with him, he said, that's your you know, good
Speaker 2: luck on your faith, your journey of faith. And then
Speaker 2: the second person, about twenty minutes after the hour or
Speaker 2: mountain time zone twelve twenty or so, the second person
Speaker 2: came up and started asking and he said, Charlie, do
Speaker 2: you know, and I'm paraphrasing, how many mass shootings there
Speaker 2: have been by people by transgender people? And he was
Speaker 2: basically asking about transgender shootings and mass shootings. And then
Speaker 2: there was a shot and it was a loud shot,
Speaker 2: and I've been around guns enough to know it was
Speaker 2: a firearm and a shot. I saw Charlie fall back
Speaker 2: and to his left, and you know, now we've learned
Speaker 2: the news that he wasn't able to survive that. But
Speaker 2: the crowd when he was shot, they all kind of
Speaker 2: duck down. People started screaming, and then they started running.
Speaker 2: And you know what, like I said, I had family
Speaker 2: members there, and three other members of our family were
Speaker 2: also there, and it was scary, and and it's sad,
Speaker 2: and it's and now it also makes me mad. It's
Speaker 2: infuriating as well.
Speaker 3: Have all the emotions, Jason, it's Lindy here. Sean had
Speaker 3: to step away from one moment to take a call,
Speaker 3: and I'm assuming you can understand where that call came from.
Speaker 3: What you're saying is just heartbreaking. We all knew Charlie.
Speaker 3: We were all friends with Charlie. We also have on
Speaker 3: the line right now, Buck Sexton, who was also very
Speaker 3: very close and is very close to the Trump family
Speaker 3: and to Charlie and anybody like you said, who worked
Speaker 3: in conservative politics. I mean, we all know Charlie and
Speaker 3: he was just larger than life.
Speaker 4: Buck.
Speaker 3: I know we've been texting all day. We are just
Speaker 3: beyond words.
Speaker 4: I'm in I'm in shock. And you know I understand
Speaker 4: that the country, uh you know, we had, we had
Speaker 4: our president was shot, but we knew he was he
Speaker 4: was okay right away, you know, you knew he raised
Speaker 4: a fist, and it was we got confirmation and Trump
Speaker 4: pulled through. And I think for so many of us,
Speaker 4: I mean, I know for me and many people I've
Speaker 4: been texting with, we just we just thought Charlie was
Speaker 4: going to pull through too, and I can't. I had
Speaker 4: to have many people confer. It's still hard to believe
Speaker 4: that this happened. It's a dark moment for the country.
Speaker 4: I think. Unfortunately, we wake up in a different country Tomorrowlando.
Speaker 4: This is going to affect many things in our lives
Speaker 4: in deeply negative ways. That's there's so many thoughts that
Speaker 4: I think running through all of our heads. I mean, also,
Speaker 4: you know, we tear up just thinking about Charlie's wife
Speaker 4: and his beautiful kid, the loss that they've had because
Speaker 4: Charlie wanted to do what we all knew he was
Speaker 4: so gifted at and so dedicated to, which was just
Speaker 4: engaging you know Charlie. You know, Charlie haven't threatened anybody.
Speaker 4: Charlie never crossed that He line. Charlie was let's talk,
Speaker 4: let's discuss, And in so many ways, that's just at
Speaker 4: the at the heart of how our country is even
Speaker 4: able to function. And he was winning in the best
Speaker 4: possible way. He was winning the culture, he was winning
Speaker 4: the debate. He was leading this charge and was such
Speaker 4: a powerful figure in the Trump movement for people and
Speaker 4: for young people. And you know, I would tell people
Speaker 4: that I would come across you know, Linda in our work,
Speaker 4: you know that with young people on campus and say, oh,
Speaker 4: you know, do you know Charlie Kirk And I'd be like,
Speaker 4: it's yeah, oh, I've known Charlie for for a decade
Speaker 4: and said oh. It was like he was such an
Speaker 4: inspiration to them. And and I sit here and as
Speaker 4: I'm saying all these things about him, and we're doing
Speaker 4: a a hugey for Charlie. I mean, Linda, they assassinated
Speaker 4: our friend. They assassinated our friend speaking in a college camps.
Speaker 3: I'm I think, honestly, the thing that I feel the
Speaker 3: most afraid of and the most upset with, and I
Speaker 3: think both you and Jason would agree with this, is
Speaker 3: it feels like there's a target on everybody's back. It
Speaker 3: feels like we're in a place where when you speak
Speaker 3: your mind on the right, they come at you, and
Speaker 3: they come at you in a way that is frightening.
Speaker 3: You know, Charlie never advocated for violence to get any
Speaker 3: against anybody. He always always spoke with love, his faith
Speaker 3: in Jesus Christ and his opinion. And you know what
Speaker 3: he did, He opened the mic to hear everybody else's opinion.
Speaker 3: I mean, I just I mean, look at you, Jason.
Speaker 3: You're there with your children. This is something you can
Speaker 3: take your kids to to hear open discourse and conversation
Speaker 3: instead of screaming and shouting and the Antifa nonsense that
Speaker 3: goes all over the place. This is a place for
Speaker 3: conversation to try to understand and get to a place
Speaker 3: where we can all live a better life through Christ,
Speaker 3: through loving one another. And now his poor wife, Erica,
Speaker 3: their children both under five. I mean, I just am
Speaker 3: I think all of us feel the same way. Jason,
Speaker 3: You've been amazing today. I don't know how you're doing
Speaker 3: what you're doing, having been their firsthand.
Speaker 5: How are your children?
Speaker 2: There's scared, you know, they my kids quite frankly. You know,
Speaker 2: in politics, I get to run into some of the
Speaker 2: most interesting people in the world, you know, being in Congress,
Speaker 2: being on Fox, I get relatives they're probably most interested
Speaker 2: in seeing Donald Trump and Jarnie Kirk. And that's who
Speaker 2: they're excited about. That's who. That's who they want to
Speaker 2: get their picture taken with, or spend time or even
Speaker 2: just say that they shook her hand. And that's why
Speaker 2: I had thousands of people think about this. You have
Speaker 2: thousands of people on a Wednesday, beautiful day at noon
Speaker 2: to do what he is not taught in the classroom,
Speaker 2: which is to have a dialogue. And as you both mentioned,
Speaker 2: the message of Charlie Kirk was, look, we got to
Speaker 2: be able to talk to each other. If not, it's
Speaker 2: going to result in violence. But I'm still emotional, I'm
Speaker 2: still I'm sure in shock of it all. But the
Speaker 2: violence seems to go one way. And I'm just saying
Speaker 2: that if you have a conservative voice and you want
Speaker 2: to be able to express yourself and just live, love
Speaker 2: your country and freedom, I know that's not the case.
Speaker 2: I know there are people on all kinds of the
Speaker 2: both sides of the aisle.
Speaker 6: But.
Speaker 2: I don't think when this chapter's, you know, written, I
Speaker 2: just immediately my gut reaction. Again, I'm emotionally close to
Speaker 2: this at the moment. But you think it's a coincidence,
Speaker 2: is a guy comes to the microphone who's asking you
Speaker 2: questions about transgender violence and shootings, and then a shot
Speaker 2: rings out.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a coincidence, and I think it's
Speaker 3: pretty sad.
Speaker 2: What I'm frustrated with right now here in real time,
Speaker 2: it's a lack of communication from local law enforcement. There
Speaker 2: was a very light footprint that Charlie has a personal
Speaker 2: protective detail. But we're talking a handful of people, and
Speaker 2: we're talking two thousand people in a crowd in an
Speaker 2: open space with no security checks. I mean, it's a
Speaker 2: college campus, you know, and it's Utah.
Speaker 4: We're not used to shootings.
Speaker 2: Period, let alone something an assassination like this, And you
Speaker 2: could go for a long long time and just not
Speaker 2: have a shooting in Utah County. They just don't have it,
Speaker 2: and so they got to find this shooter. There's so
Speaker 2: many video tapes rolling you tell me that don't I
Speaker 2: don't know who it is yet.
Speaker 3: I completely agree with you, Congressman and Buck. I know
Speaker 3: you guys are getting a lot of people calling you.
Speaker 3: Can I bother you to stay with us through the
Speaker 3: break and for a few more words on the other
Speaker 3: side here?
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Sean Hennedy.
Speaker 7: The Sean Hennity Show. We just had a major storm
Speaker 7: hit where my studios are and the line went down,
Speaker 7: hopefully just temporarily. Buck sect Sexton is with us today.
Speaker 7: You know, Buck, we both knew Charlie so well. If
Speaker 7: you're just joining us today. Charlie Kirk has died at
Speaker 7: the age he was shot and killed today an event
Speaker 7: at Utah Valley University in a speech that he was
Speaker 7: giving a turning point USA. This is what he did.
Speaker 7: I mean, he built an incredible operation where thousands and
Speaker 7: thousands of kids all around the country kind of had
Speaker 7: a safe space in these indoctrination centers for the left wing.
Speaker 7: And we don't know. The shooter is still on the loose,
Speaker 7: the assassin is on the loose.
Speaker 4: Buck.
Speaker 7: I did have an opportunity. I did talk briefly with
Speaker 7: the President. He was pretty shaken up by it, as
Speaker 7: you would imagine. Charlie had a great relationship with President Trump.
Speaker 7: And it is sad in every way. He's thirty one
Speaker 7: years old, was thirty one, two young children, wife, he
Speaker 7: leaves behind, and you know, and then we have the
Speaker 7: radical left. I just saw that, you know. JB. Pritzker
Speaker 7: puts out on the shooting. Political violence, unfortunately, is ramped
Speaker 7: up in this country, and I think there are people
Speaker 7: who are fermenting it in this country. I think the
Speaker 7: President's rhetoric often forments it. How do you go from
Speaker 7: the death of an assassination of a thirty one year
Speaker 7: old young man whose only fault is he is a conservative?
Speaker 7: How do you go from there to saying something like
Speaker 7: that within two hours of this young man dying.
Speaker 4: Sean, It's sad, beyond words what's happened. It's also enraging.
Speaker 4: There is something demonic that is not just within the
Speaker 4: Democrat Party and the left in this country. But I think,
Speaker 4: unfortunately we have seen his ascendant and this has now
Speaker 4: shown us a pattern. I mean use that word assassin,
Speaker 4: and that is the word we need to understand and
Speaker 4: need to utilize here. Charlie Kirk was my friend, he
Speaker 4: was your friend. As you said, he was close with
Speaker 4: President Trump. He was best friends with Dom Junior, the
Speaker 4: President's son.
Speaker 2: You know, he.
Speaker 4: Was winning, he was convincing, he was bringing over the youth,
Speaker 4: I mean, young people in America to the side of
Speaker 4: just rationality, sanity, constitutionalism, being reasonable, and there's something deeply
Speaker 4: sick and wrong with the left, and I think we
Speaker 4: need you just start to understand that this is what
Speaker 4: we are up against. The rhetoric that they use, calling
Speaker 4: Trump a Nazi and saying all these things, and therefore,
Speaker 4: by extension, saying people like you know, defaming people like Charlie.
Speaker 4: There are maniacs out there who act on this stuff,
Speaker 4: and they think that they're getting signals. They think that
Speaker 4: they're getting the approval of the loudest and most powerful
Speaker 4: voices in the Democrat Party. And I think, Michelan, you're
Speaker 4: talking about a rifle shot at two hundred yards. The
Speaker 4: shooter is still on the loose right now. I mean,
Speaker 4: this was an assassination that is not an easy shot
Speaker 4: at two hundred yards on the first shot. This was
Speaker 4: planned out. This was someone who decided that they were
Speaker 4: going to engage in one of the worst acts of
Speaker 4: evil we have seen in American politics in decades. And
Speaker 4: I'm just in shock, and I miss my friend, and
Speaker 4: I feel terrible for his family. I feel terrible for
Speaker 4: the people who were counting on Charlie everone in turning point,
Speaker 4: and honestly, so many people across America they relied on him,
Speaker 4: and they knew that he was there and they knew
Speaker 4: that he was making the arguments and fighting that good fight,
Speaker 4: and that he was stolen from us by an assassin's bullet.
Speaker 4: We wake up, Shawn in a in a darker, uglier,
Speaker 4: scarier country tomorrow, and I don't know a way around that.
Speaker 4: My own family is asking me what do we do.
Speaker 4: I don't have any answers. I don't think anybody does
Speaker 4: right now. But this is going to have reverberations for
Speaker 4: a long time and it just has made it has
Speaker 4: made everything worse. And I couldn't be more upset for Charlie,
Speaker 4: for his family, and for everybody who believed in him
Speaker 4: and what he was doing in his mission.
Speaker 7: If you think of everything that he's been so successful
Speaker 7: at doing, it's it's mind numbing. It again at the
Speaker 7: age of thirty one. The most repulsive part of this.
Speaker 7: It's not just the JB. Pritzkers of the world. You know,
Speaker 7: it wasn't even an hour from the time that he
Speaker 7: was shot and over at MSDNC, you know, on the
Speaker 7: Katie Ter Show, you know you have Matthew Dowd, one
Speaker 7: of their political analysts, suggesting, oh, his rhetoric made him
Speaker 7: a target of violence and hate speech inevitably led to
Speaker 7: him being and he's one of the most divisive young
Speaker 7: figures white because he's a conservative, and he goes on
Speaker 7: a college campus and he offers a voice to people
Speaker 7: that feel that they don't have a voice on a
Speaker 7: college campus, and then to take it a step further.
Speaker 7: Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, lead to hateful actions.
Speaker 7: They are rationalizing and justifying all of this. And this
Speaker 7: these comments were made before we knew he was dead.
Speaker 7: We knew how bad it was because we had the
Speaker 7: video that showed the blood gushing from Charlie's neck, you know,
Speaker 7: the second he was shot. And this is where the
Speaker 7: minds of some people go. We'll take a break here,
Speaker 7: we'll come back on the other side. Buck Sexton is
Speaker 7: with us. We'll try and get some calls in as well.
Speaker 7: We'll get our line back up as we continue Sad
Speaker 7: Day for America. All right, twenty five now till the
Speaker 7: top of the hour, eight nine point one, Shawn, I
Speaker 7: know a lot of you want to weigh in on
Speaker 7: all of this. If you're just joining us, I'm sure
Speaker 7: the entire country knows by now that Turning Point USA
Speaker 7: founder CEO Friend of the program. Charlie Kirk was assassinated
Speaker 7: today at an event at Utah Valley University, which is
Speaker 7: beyond surprising, and the shooter, the assassin, is at large.
Speaker 7: President Trump, I did speak briefly with him. The great,
Speaker 7: even legendary Charlie Kirk is dead. No one understood or
Speaker 7: had the heart of the youth of the US, of
Speaker 7: the United States of America better than Charlie. He was
Speaker 7: loved admired by all, especially by me. He's no longer
Speaker 7: with us, Malaney and my sympathies go out to his
Speaker 7: beautiful wife, Erica. His family had two young children. Charlie,
Speaker 7: we love you. I can't believe the shooter is still
Speaker 7: at large, but he is. And of course the left,
Speaker 7: predictably is going out doing the things that they do.
Speaker 7: Let me just play how bad it got. We didn't
Speaker 7: even know whether he had survived the assassination attempt by
Speaker 7: the time that MSDNC was saying this on the air.
Speaker 8: And I think that's the environment we're in that that
Speaker 8: people just you can't stop with these sort of awful
Speaker 8: thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and
Speaker 8: not expect awful actions to take place, and that's the
Speaker 8: fortunate environment we're in.
Speaker 9: Charlie Kirk is a divisive figure, polarizing, lightning rob whatever
Speaker 9: term you want to use.
Speaker 10: Why Well, he's one of maga's most prominent voices online.
Speaker 10: He hosts in Your Daily Podcast. He opines on almost everything.
Speaker 10: He's been very closely aligned with the President since his
Speaker 10: initial run for office in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen, and
Speaker 10: his ties to Trump really elevated his own brand. He
Speaker 10: was really quite young as an activist when the President
Speaker 10: launched his initial campaign, and he has kind of written
Speaker 10: along with MAGA since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 9: And as we were just talking about a moment ago
Speaker 9: with Alan after one of the DOGE employees was allegedly
Speaker 9: attacked in Washington, d C. That's what Donald Trump used
Speaker 9: as a justification to send in federal troops into Washington,
Speaker 9: DC to get things under control the carjacking situation.
Speaker 4: He used that.
Speaker 9: And I know it's hard to predict the future, Mark,
Speaker 9: but you can imagine the administration using this as a
Speaker 9: justification for something.
Speaker 7: Then we have the dopey governor of Illinois, JB. Pritzker.
Speaker 7: Political violence, unfortunately has ramped up in this country. I
Speaker 7: think there are people who are fomenting it in this country.
Speaker 7: I think the President's rhetoric often foments it. It's beyond
Speaker 7: the pale, it's you know, a lot of these comments
Speaker 7: have made so cold callous. What did I say on
Speaker 7: this program after the President gave a speech before it
Speaker 7: joined such in Congress? I said that Democrats couldn't stand
Speaker 7: for the family of Lake and Riley, They couldn't stand
Speaker 7: for the family of little Joscelyn Nungary. They couldn't stand
Speaker 7: for a young man who had at the time had
Speaker 7: beaten cancer and became a Secret Service agent that night.
Speaker 7: And I said, if that's the point that people are
Speaker 7: at in this country, forget politics. You don't have a heart,
Speaker 7: you don't have a soul, you don't have a conscience.
Speaker 7: If this is where your mind goes when a thirty
Speaker 7: one year old, yeah, outspoken political commentator is assassinated at
Speaker 7: a university in Utah, there's something really dark, ugly twisted,
Speaker 7: and the missing chip it's pretty unbelievable. Buck Sexon is
Speaker 7: still with us as the Clay and Buck Show and
Speaker 7: a friend of the program, also friend of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 7: I know this is personal for you. Buck you know,
Speaker 7: but I also know something else. You know, your scheduled
Speaker 7: to give a public speech tomorrow. If I told you
Speaker 7: the text that I'm getting from friends and family and
Speaker 7: associates about security and be careful, and you're getting the
Speaker 7: same thing, I'm.
Speaker 4: Sure Sean is disterrible assassin at two hundred yards to
Speaker 4: hit somebody in the neck. This person trained, most likely
Speaker 4: this out knew what they were doing. And you know
Speaker 4: from a from a tactical perspective, and it's still on
Speaker 4: the loose. But there's also even beyond that, there's the
Speaker 4: reality that this is not happen. This this horrible and
Speaker 4: tragic assassination of our of our friend Charlie, which is
Speaker 4: still I mean, it's just we're all in shock. I mean,
Speaker 4: I've had when when Lindo was texting me about this
Speaker 4: and we kept saying, Linda, tell me it's not confirmed.
Speaker 4: My hands were going numb, and we're sitting here, we're
Speaker 4: thinking about how to process this. But it didn't happen
Speaker 4: in a vacuum. Sean. You and I know that there
Speaker 4: were there were two assassination attempts against President Trump, but
Speaker 4: there's also been many violent attempts. If you were to
Speaker 4: go back coming from the left against people in the right.
Speaker 4: I think of the shooting that happened what in twenty
Speaker 4: eighteen tried to be a mad That guy tried to
Speaker 4: do a mass assassination of members of Republicans, specifically Republican
Speaker 4: and conservative mem of Congress yelling this is for healthcare.
Speaker 4: I mean, you and I both spoken to Senator Ram
Speaker 4: Paul about that. He was there on that day Steve
Speaker 4: Scalise got hit almost died. The left has a violence problem,
Speaker 4: a big one, and it's because they say that Trump
Speaker 4: is hitler. It's because they say that fascism is here.
Speaker 4: There is nothing like that on the right. There's nothing
Speaker 4: that exists in our political discourse that goes anywhere near
Speaker 4: the kinds of defamatory and insane statements that they make.
Speaker 4: And I think everyone's tired of Sean though. The problem
Speaker 4: I'm seeing right now for a lot of people is
Speaker 4: just trying to one process the grief but also suppress
Speaker 4: the rage. They just assassinated one of the most important
Speaker 4: political figures on the right in this country. And take
Speaker 4: apart a take a step aside for a second. He's
Speaker 4: your friend, he's my friend, he's friends with everybody that
Speaker 4: we know in this business, everybody that we know in
Speaker 4: this business. There was nobody on the right that had
Speaker 4: any prominence in media and politics who didn't know Charles
Speaker 4: and everybody liked him. And it took him out. They
Speaker 4: took him out for a reason. And it's it's the
Speaker 4: ugliest and most upsetting thing possible to have happened on
Speaker 4: the daylight today. And they did this because they want power.
Speaker 4: They did this because they want to subvert the movement
Speaker 4: and the trajectory of the country and the President Trump
Speaker 4: and his supporters were seeing and and this is taking
Speaker 4: the country into a place. I don't know what it's
Speaker 4: like tomorrowshaw, I'm everyone just texting me saying, how's your
Speaker 4: conceal how's your concealed carry piece? You know, do you
Speaker 4: need me to loan you want? I mean, I've got
Speaker 4: a bunch. I know you do too. But you know,
Speaker 4: they're just worried now about who that what the next
Speaker 4: step is and where the country goes, and they're trying
Speaker 4: to process the grief. It's it's horrible beyond words. I
Speaker 4: am truly worried for the country.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm gonna get ready and then we'll play for
Speaker 7: this audience. I want to play a lot of the
Speaker 7: anti Trump rhetoric. We have montages that we played. You know,
Speaker 7: Eric Trump was on earlier and Eric brought up the fact,
Speaker 7: you know, and somebody else brought up the fact. Eric
Speaker 7: brought it up, you know, Kathy Griffin with a decapitated head.
Speaker 7: Go back to twenty sixteen, Madonna, I think an awful
Speaker 7: lot about blowing up the White House, or think of
Speaker 7: you know, when's the last time a president was assassinated?
Speaker 7: You know, another idiot actor making a comment. Never mind
Speaker 7: the daily rhetoric that comes from the left, and they
Speaker 7: don't see, you know, the first blame conservatives. You know,
Speaker 7: look at Rosy o'donald tried to blame the Minneapolis shooting
Speaker 7: on conservatives. There was no evidence at all that warranted
Speaker 7: that observation of those comments. Let me play, let me,
Speaker 7: let me, let me play just some of this rhetoric.
Speaker 7: And even you know, not even knowing that he had
Speaker 7: been that he was dead, the instinct of people is
Speaker 7: so repulsively grotesque and evil.
Speaker 9: Listen, Charlie Kirk is a divisive figure, polarizing, lightning rob
Speaker 9: whatever term you want to use.
Speaker 10: Why, well, he's one of maga's most prominent voices online.
Speaker 10: He hosts a mere daily podcast he opines on almost everything.
Speaker 10: He's been very closely aligned with the President since his
Speaker 10: initial run for office in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen, and
Speaker 10: his ties to Trump really elevated his own brand. He
Speaker 10: was really quite young as an activist when the president
Speaker 10: launched his initial campaign, and he has kind of written
Speaker 10: along with MAGA since twenty sixteen and were ugly influential.
Speaker 10: With a guy who wants to kill us and.
Speaker 6: Two our detractors that insist that this march will never
Speaker 6: add up to anything, Thank you you, but this is
Speaker 6: the hallmark of revolution. Yes, I'm angry, Yes I am outraged.
Speaker 6: Yes I have thought an awful lot about blowing up
Speaker 6: the White House.
Speaker 11: You know, I had a dream the other night about
Speaker 11: that I was playing golf with Donald Trump, and I
Speaker 11: was standing beside him with a club in my hand.
Speaker 11: I was, you know, considering my options when I suddenly
Speaker 11: woke up. You know, it was one of those dreams
Speaker 11: when you want to just get back to sleep so
Speaker 11: you can finish it.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 12: Put mister Burgess up against uh Sean Hannity, He'll tear
Speaker 12: them up. I need you to go out and talk
Speaker 12: to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want
Speaker 12: you to talk to him, whether they're independent or whether
Speaker 12: they are Republican. I want you to argue with them
Speaker 12: and get in their faces.
Speaker 8: Press always ask for You're going my worshower debating him.
Speaker 13: No, I wish you were in high school.
Speaker 4: I could take him behind the gym. That's what I wish.
Speaker 2: What we've got to do is fight in Congress, fight
Speaker 2: in the courts, fight in the streets.
Speaker 14: Ordinary people who simply saw what needed to be done
Speaker 14: and came together and supported those ideals, who have made
Speaker 14: the difference. They marched, they bled. Yes, some of them
Speaker 14: have died. This is hard. Every good thing is we
Speaker 14: have done this before, we can do this again.
Speaker 1: Boss, I'm concerned that Teapoty can go straight to him.
Speaker 9: In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for
Speaker 9: is being Vladimir Putin's polster.
Speaker 4: Along.
Speaker 15: There's going to be our saving grace. You know, when
Speaker 15: he's about to nuke Finland or something. She's gonna walk
Speaker 15: into the bedroom and you know, Daddy, daddy, don't you, daddy.
Speaker 13: He's a punk, he's a dog, he's a pig. He's
Speaker 13: a con, a book artist, a mutt, He's an idiot.
Speaker 13: He talks how he wants to punch people in the face. Well,
Speaker 13: I'd like to punch him in the face.
Speaker 6: We are graced with Sarah's presence tonight.
Speaker 9: I have to say I'm a little starstruck.
Speaker 11: I love you as aunt Lydia and the Handmaid's Tail.
Speaker 7: Why are you even out here?
Speaker 5: Trump?
Speaker 4: It's no longer than the Trump Trump.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you have members.
Speaker 16: Of your cabinet that have been booed out of restaurants,
Speaker 16: who have protesters taking up at the house. Who's staying,
Speaker 16: no thanks, no sleep, no pas, nor sleep. And guess what,
Speaker 16: We're gonna win this battle because while you try and
Speaker 16: cook the Bible, Jeff Sessions and others, you really don't
Speaker 16: know the Bible.
Speaker 4: God is on our side.
Speaker 16: And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant.
Speaker 7: I mean buck. The rhetoric has been there. We've all
Speaker 7: covered it, We've discussed it in great you know, specificity,
Speaker 7: in detail, and it's almost like there's been this dehumanizing effect.
Speaker 7: Now I'm not saying that there aren't a few people
Speaker 7: on the right that don't say a lot of dumb stuff.
Speaker 7: But this is so beyond the pale, and it's gone on,
Speaker 7: it's almost been normalized a way. Do you think that
Speaker 7: kind of rhetoric has an impact on people that would
Speaker 7: be responsible for something like today.
Speaker 4: Sean, I know it does, and you know it does,
Speaker 4: and everyone with us right now knows the same that
Speaker 4: the rhetoric they use is wildly irresponsible, that it has
Speaker 4: led to a whole range of a horrific I mean
Speaker 4: this we're calling an assassination, it's also an active terror.
Speaker 4: Let's be clear, Charlie was killed for political reasons. This
Speaker 4: was political violence, politically motivated violence. This was a terrorist
Speaker 4: act by an assassin. And we've seen this in the
Speaker 4: recent shooting of the church in Minneapolis. We saw this
Speaker 4: with the trans shooter in Nashville. We've seen this. As
Speaker 4: I said that baseball diamond in twenty eighteen, the two
Speaker 4: assassination attempts to at to President Trump, this country was
Speaker 4: saved by an inch, by President Trump turning his head.
Speaker 4: I mean saved from God knows what was going to happen,
Speaker 4: Saved by an inch, Sean. And today we weren't lucky. Today,
Speaker 4: we didn't have the hand of God to direct that
Speaker 4: bullet away at the last second, and now we deal
Speaker 4: with the tragic consequences of this. The rhetoric of the
Speaker 4: left is absolutely and let's just I don't even like
Speaker 4: necessarily making it about the It's the Democrat Party. It's
Speaker 4: not just the left. It's not a fringe to to
Speaker 4: your point, are there crazy? Can you find some crazy
Speaker 4: person who says their right wing somewhere? Are there? Of
Speaker 4: course you can. You and I though Shan are talking
Speaker 4: about the editorial pages of the New York Times.
Speaker 7: It's not in the mainstream of conservatism. It's not. It's
Speaker 7: on the deep, deep fringes of people whose names I
Speaker 7: probably wouldn't even know, you know, or people that just
Speaker 7: you know, I've noticed there's been an attempt to try to,
Speaker 7: you know, make certain people, you know, part of the
Speaker 7: conservative movement that are anything but conservative, anything but maga,
Speaker 7: anything but what a Republican stands for. And you know,
Speaker 7: it's a means of associating us with with this madness.
Speaker 7: I've been on the air on radio since nineteen eighty seven,
Speaker 7: I've been I've been on Fox. In early October, it's
Speaker 7: going to be thirty completed years on the Fox News channel.
Speaker 7: And you know, this kind of rhetoric doesn't come from
Speaker 7: mainstream conservative We're talking about networks that do this regularly.
Speaker 7: We're talking about newspapers that do it regularly. You know,
Speaker 7: we're talking about, you know, the whole Democratic Party that
Speaker 7: is doing this regularly. And is it the reason? I
Speaker 7: don't know what the reason is.
Speaker 4: Nobody.
Speaker 7: You know, evil does exist, it does, but this is,
Speaker 7: you know, been so over the top for so long. Sadly,
Speaker 7: I think we've become immune to a.
Speaker 15: Lot of it.
Speaker 4: Well, that's that's definitely the case, Sean, And that's the
Speaker 4: huge difference that on our side, it's it's always going
Speaker 4: to be a completely dishonest comparison. And people say, oh,
Speaker 4: there's there's violence on the left, and you'll see a
Speaker 4: lot of this both sides ism. There's no both sides
Speaker 4: ism here, or rather there should be none. The Democrat
Speaker 4: rhetoric that you and I are talking about is from
Speaker 4: the most elevated, the most widespread, and most powerful and
Speaker 4: well funded voices in the Democratic Party. They say that
Speaker 4: Trump is going to end this country. They say that
Speaker 4: Trump is an existential threat. I'm sure, I mean, I know,
Speaker 4: I listen to your show, Sean, you've had to play
Speaker 4: those clips how many dozens, if not hundreds of times? Oh,
Speaker 4: Trump is a threat to democracy? Well, those same lunatics
Speaker 4: that are saying that when they say Trump is a
Speaker 4: threat to democracy. Charlie was in many ways the right
Speaker 4: hand man for young people in MAGA, and there was
Speaker 4: a clear, a clear decision that has been made by
Speaker 4: people on the left that anything goes to destroy Trump.
Speaker 4: We saw that with all the all the prosecutions and
Speaker 4: all just the incentive with the two assassination attempts against
Speaker 4: Trump as well. And now they now they've assassinated Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 4: I just they're not going to change though, Sean, this
Speaker 4: is the part of it. I don't know where we
Speaker 4: go from this because at MSNBC they're going to say, well,
Speaker 4: you know, political violence is bad, but everybody, everybody has
Speaker 4: a little bit of this going on or something. By
Speaker 4: the way, I'm just going to say that.
Speaker 7: I gotta run. Buck Sexton, You've been great, You're a
Speaker 7: dear friend. You please be careful if you're just joining us.
