  Let's dive in with Diva Mia.
• 0:30
  Hello, this is Diva Mia. So today I was going to make a tribute to 9-11 to remember
• 0:37
  all those that died, and we're still going to talk about that because of the events of yesterday.
• 0:42
  I think it's very important to reflect on what's going on in this country.
• 0:46
  I do apologize because I do try to keep politics out of this podcast as much
• 0:51
  as possible, but it has been weighing on me.
• 0:55
  So I'm going to share some feelings about it. If you don't know,
• 0:58
  you'd have been to Iraq, but Charlie Kirk was assassinated yesterday at an event
• 1:02
  in Utah where he was speaking.
• 1:05
  He was assassinated by a gunman that had a rifle from a far distance away and
• 1:10
  shot right through his jugular.
• 1:12
  He died either at the event or on his way to the hospital. It is unclear.
• 1:18
  In front of thousands of supporters. He was an amazing man.
• 1:22
  I personally believe that we need more men like Charlie Kirk.
• 1:25
  He was a type of hero to those on the right because of what he spoke,
• 1:31
  but he was a leader amongst all.
• 1:33
  To have someone killed just because of his words, when his words were just questions
• 1:39
  and dialogue with other people, to find out their points of view is shocking.
• 1:45
  Now, I think it's going to come out that this was some type of hit because there
• 1:50
  was only one shot, and it was a kill shot from a far distance away,
• 1:54
  and it was very well coordinated.
• 1:56
  An older man was arrested right after the shooting, but it was pretty obvious
• 2:01
  that he couldn't have done it.
• 2:02
  He had like these thick bifocal glasses on.
• 2:04
  They interviewed another person of interest, but they released both of them.
• 2:09
  So far, they have recovered a rifle in connection with Charlie Kirk's assassination,
• 2:14
  but they still don't have the shooter.
• 2:16
  I'm sure they will, but it's shocking to the nation.
• 2:19
  A day is a day, 9-11, to remember all that we've lost. And...
• 2:25
  The tragedy continues. I was going to do a video podcast today,
• 2:29
  but I didn't want to lose my composure.
• 2:31
  So, Charlie leaves behind a wife and two small children, and it is quite sad
• 2:38
  that there are people out there actually celebrating the death of this man.
• 2:44
  In order to celebrate someone's death, you have to have lost your humanity.
• 2:48
  You have to have lost all your morals and ethics and values of human life.
• 2:54
  I don't care what side of the spectrum you're on.
• 2:57
  If this was a political activist for the Democratic side or.
• 3:02
  God forbid, a Democratic politician, the feeling would be the same.
• 3:07
  This is not right. When someone's biggest crime is discussing his opinion in
• 3:14
  the United States of America and he gets gunned down, what country do we live in?
• 3:20
  He was one of the best men out there I've seen in a long time.
• 3:23
  In a world full of beta boys that just follow along, he was a leader.
• 3:28
  So today we cover this breaking news. It's hard to keep my composure.
• 3:31
  I don't know how all of the news broadcasters are. We need more men like Charlie Kirk.
• 3:37
  There's a shortage in this country right now. Yes, he brought out votes,
• 3:41
  and yes, he was religious, and yes, he leaned to the right side.
• 3:46
  But the reality was, is he was just a really good man. You could see it by the
• 3:50
  way he treated his family.
• 3:52
  My heart breaks for his poor young family. Free speech has to be fought for
• 3:57
  always. It has to be kept.
• 3:59
  And it's a shame that those that disagree with people's free speech try to silence it.
• 4:05
  Now, the left will say that he had inflammatory rhetoric, but the reality is
• 4:08
  he just had a difference of opinion.
• 4:10
  We're taught to respect other people's opinions.
• 4:13
  The right, for some reason, seems to, but the left wants to silence the difference
• 4:17
  of opinion, and it needs to stop.
• 4:19
  This is not a right or left ideology problem.
• 4:23
  This is a good versus evil problem.
• 4:26
  He was a good man. He had a difference of opinion on a few touchy subjects,
• 4:30
  but he was a good man and evil took his life.
• 4:34
  And now people out there celebrate the loss of a patriot, someone that cared
• 4:40
  about his family, that cared about Jesus, and that cared about this country.
• 4:43
  People celebrate his murder.
• 4:46
  There are people getting fired today for making public statements.
• 4:50
  Praising his demise, praising the fact that he got assassinated.
• 4:55
  A college kid actually said, well, somebody had to take him out.
• 4:58
  What is wrong with this generation? Are they that desensitized to good and evil
• 5:03
  that they think this is the right thing that needed to happen?
• 5:07
  Charlie Kirk was 31 years old. He was critically injured.
• 5:10
  They say he later died in the hospital, but the way the bullet went through,
• 5:14
  I don't think it was possible to save him if you actually saw the video of him getting shot.
• 5:19
  There is some surveillance videos, I hope that leads to an arrest.
• 5:22
  Hopefully they catch the perpetrator or perpetrators soon.
• 5:26
  All the flags have been ordered to be at half-staff in support of Charlie Kirk.
• 5:30
  If you remember some other political assassinations from Martin Luther King
• 5:35
  to JFK to RFK to the attempts on Scalise to Ronald Reagan, it's nonsense.
• 5:43
  If you don't agree with someone, then state your opinion and have a debate.
• 5:47
  There was talk that he may be president one day. He very well could have been.
• 5:52
  He was a strong man. Right now, our country has a moment of reckoning.
• 5:56
  The extremism needs to end and the center needs to rise because the extremists
• 6:01
  have been running this country for way too long. This goes way beyond politics.
• 6:05
  The day before, a woman was sitting in a subway and got stabbed in the neck
• 6:09
  and murdered just because she was there.
• 6:11
  There's so much division in this country. There's so much stupidity.
• 6:15
  There's so much violence.
• 6:16
  Now the left is going to come out and say we need more gun control because that's what they always say.
• 6:20
  I can guarantee you, I bet the person that had the gun had a license for it.
• 6:24
  But the rhetoric is turning into violence because the media doesn't know when to quit.
• 6:29
  They take every story and they twist it in a way to make one side mad at the other.
• 6:34
  And they need to quit. Today, we also remember September 11th,
• 6:38
  the day the United States was attacked and we lost 3,000 souls on American land.
• 6:44
  I'm pretty sure I remember where I was in Chicago and for weeks after.
• 6:48
  I was working in the Sears Tower when it was still the Sears Tower.
• 6:52
  We got calls almost daily saying that planes were on their way.
• 6:56
  And then in 2012, on 9-11, the Benghazi fiasco where we had American Ambassador
• 7:03
  Chris Stevens killed September 11, 2012.
• 7:07
  And now 2025, just one day away from September 11, we have this assassination.
• 7:11
  I want America to heal, but there's forces within America that are evil and
• 7:17
  they don't want healing to occur. For America to heal, we really have to come
• 7:22
  together. It needs to be led by the center.
• 7:24
  The center right, the center left, because the extremes are too far out.
• 7:27
  The extremes need to be rejected at this point, on both sides.
• 7:31
  People that are celebrating someone's death, do you guys know how dark and demented that is?
• 7:37
  I don't care who it is. Every death is a tragedy.
• 7:40
  His children will grow up without
• 7:42
  a father, and he would have been a good father. He was a good father.
• 7:45
  We should be coming together on our national tragedy.
• 7:48
  But yet all over social media, everyone is either supporting Charlie Kirk or mocking him.
• 7:55
  I had someone actually post on my page that I'm the problem because I support
• 8:00
  a racist and there was nothing racist in Charlie Kirk.
• 8:03
  The rhetoric has gotten so tough that people just make up stories and make them
• 8:08
  into fact, even though they aren't.
• 8:09
  9-11, everything changed. We went from a naive little country thinking that
• 8:14
  nothing would happen on our shores to one that saw 3,000 people killed.
• 8:19
  Yes, we'd had smaller terrorist attacks prior to that, but this was significant.
• 8:23
  After 9-11, all the planes stopped. Everything slowed down. Everyone changed.
• 8:29
  You hugged your loved ones a little bit more. You treated your neighbors,
• 8:33
  no matter what political party, they were a little bit nicer.
• 8:36
  It was a day where we were all vulnerable, but we came together as a country.
• 8:39
  Yesterday echoed that, and I hope we can come together as a country.
• 8:43
  There were some political people throwing temper tantrums and behaving poorly,
• 8:48
  but for the most part, I'd say three-quarters of the politicians on both sides
• 8:52
  of the aisle behaved well and respected Charlie Kirk and have been respectful.
• 8:58
  I do hope we can change as a civilization, because if we do not, we are doomed.
• 9:03
  We have technologies advancing that are advancing way past our human capabilities
• 9:09
  and are going to show people their own stupidity if we're not careful.
• 9:12
  The bigotry and the bias that people build into these technologies will be our downfall.
• 9:17
  Every time we have a challenge of this country, we tend to grow stronger together.
• 9:21
  I do hope we don't fracture apart. I hope that we can come together,
• 9:25
  that we can be together as a one.
• 9:28
  United States. I do hope men and boys look at Charlie Kirk as a good example
• 9:32
  of how to take care of a family and how to lead, because we need more men like him.
• 9:38
  And I do hope security gets it figured out so that people aren't left vulnerable
• 9:42
  like this in future situations.
• 9:44
  Charlie Kirk was interesting. He took it right to people. He said,
• 9:48
  get a mic and tell me what your concerns are. Let's have a discussion. Let's have a dialogue.
• 9:53
  I don't see other politicians doing that. They only do it with their supporters,
• 9:57
  and they weed out anyone that's in disagreement.
• 9:59
  He wanted the people that had disagreed with him so he could learn from them.
• 10:03
  He didn't go to college, but he was well-read.
• 10:05
  He knew more about history and economics than people that come out of college
• 10:09
  with an economics degree. He knew more about history...
• 10:13
  And the relevance of history than people that study history and get a doctorate.
• 10:17
  He knew more about the Bible than most pastors.
• 10:20
  He was a very intelligent, amazing debater that was clear and concise with his opinion.
• 10:27
  The whole country mourns today, but we need to stop the political violence and
• 10:31
  the political rhetoric.
• 10:32
  It has to stop now. Donald Trump could have been murdered, too.
• 10:35
  He could have been assassinated not too long ago.
• 10:37
  Literally, the left celebrated that, too. They was civil for two or three days.
• 10:42
  As soon as he got out of the hospital, they were back, being as nasty as before.
• 10:46
  Needs to stop. Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean they're wrong.
• 10:50
  They just have a different point of view.
• 10:52
  Maybe people need to stop talking so much and do more of what Charlie Cook did, and he listened.
• 10:57
  He listened a lot. He'd even put his microphone down when people were asking
• 11:00
  questions so he could listen thoroughly.
• 11:02
  So why don't we all take a chapter out of Charlie Cook's book and listen to
• 11:07
  our neighbors, love our neighbors, and do unto others as you would have done to you. This is Diva Mia.
• 11:12
  Take care of yourself today and your family.
