Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: You don't fill a football stadium full of one hundred thousand,
- 0:06Speaker 1: maybe one hundred thousand plus people for a memorial and
- 0:10Speaker 1: not be part of a culturally change, a societally changing event.
- 0:14Speaker 1: And that's exactly what the entire Charlie Kirk story was.
- 0:17Speaker 1: And either have to watch the whole thing, or he
- 0:19Speaker 1: didn't have to, maybe even even be a Christian, and
- 0:23Speaker 1: it was a memorial after all, and he was a
- 0:26Speaker 1: very strong Christian, a man of faith, so there was
- 0:29Speaker 1: a lot of that as well. You don't even have
- 0:31Speaker 1: to be part of that to see what's going on here.
- 0:33Speaker 1: It's different forever, because I am here to tell you
- 0:37Speaker 1: that normal people, and yes I can use these terms
- 0:39Speaker 1: all the time, intentionally normal and crazy people. Well, the
- 0:42Speaker 1: normal people have looked at what's happening with the extreme
- 0:46Speaker 1: version of what's on the left, and they're done. It's
- 0:49Speaker 1: done forever. And when you lose that narrative, when you
- 0:52Speaker 1: lose what it is to be cool, especially with young kids,
- 0:56Speaker 1: everything has changed, but in a good way what we're
- 1:00Speaker 1: talking about today, because there's a lot of aftermath on
- 1:02Speaker 1: this to talk about. Thanks for being here, appreciate you
- 1:04Speaker 1: finding me Wiki Radio. So happy to be on dry
- 1:07Speaker 1: land back in the studio, and if you were with
- 1:10Speaker 1: me last week, you know that I was on a cruise.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Still did the show four out of the five days.
- 1:14Speaker 1: That last day was a little iffy with the internet
- 1:17Speaker 1: service and the Wi Fi and the ship, but we
- 1:19Speaker 1: got a lot of it done. But throughout the entire story,
- 1:21Speaker 1: it was too important not to talk about the tragedy
- 1:23Speaker 1: of this. But really what it's about is what this
- 1:26Speaker 1: has turned into. So thanks for being here. The live
- 1:29Speaker 1: stream and the replays on x and YouTube and on
- 1:31Speaker 1: Facebook and audio podcast listeners more and more appreciate you
- 1:34Speaker 1: so much. Pressing subscribe. All right, let's get right to it.
- 1:38Speaker 1: State Farm Stadium and Glendale, Arizona, usually the home of
- 1:42Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals football team. That's right, it's a football
- 1:45Speaker 1: stadium and sometimes they have big concerts there and events
- 1:47Speaker 1: and festivals. But this was the Charlie Kirk Memorial, as
- 1:50Speaker 1: you all know about, still the number one trending story
- 1:53Speaker 1: in the world right now, and the aftermath of it
- 1:56Speaker 1: is something that has changed society. We haven't seen a
- 1:58Speaker 1: lot of events like this, not just the memorial, I
- 2:00Speaker 1: mean the entire event and how people are talking about
- 2:04Speaker 1: it what the discussion has turned into things people are
- 2:10Speaker 1: contemplating now these days. It's a different world, and it's
- 2:14Speaker 1: a different world in a good way. The light throughout
- 2:17Speaker 1: all this tragedy, and it took a while to get here,
- 2:21Speaker 1: but it's here. First of all, I think the entire
- 2:23Speaker 1: administration was there. Of course, you know, President Trump was there,
- 2:26Speaker 1: and Pete hag Zith and everybody else all right there
- 2:30Speaker 1: in the front row. A lot of them spoke. I
- 2:32Speaker 1: cherry picked some of the best speeches from that entire thing.
- 2:35Speaker 1: But I think what you got to pay attention to, really,
- 2:37Speaker 1: and this is what I paid attention to, were a
- 2:39Speaker 1: lot of the fantastic interviews, and really, to be honest
- 2:42Speaker 1: with you, to give full credit to all of them,
- 2:44Speaker 1: all of the networks, even CNN. Let's give them credit
- 2:47Speaker 1: where it's due. Talk to a lot of students outside,
- 2:50Speaker 1: a lot of people attending on what they had to say.
- 2:53Speaker 1: This is what I mean about it being different. This
- 2:55Speaker 1: one actually was on Fox. But still listen to what
- 2:57Speaker 1: this girl says. She's a student reporter. I can't remember
- 3:00Speaker 1: who it was, asked her a great question, but what's
- 3:03Speaker 1: the feel what's the tone of your fellow students and
- 3:06Speaker 1: where do you go from here? Here's what you said.
- 3:07Speaker 2: People have hate towards him, but I just really think
- 3:10Speaker 2: everything he does is just amazing.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Do you think more in his legacy will gell only
- 3:15Speaker 1: girl Starr?
- 3:16Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, absolutely, I think that it's gonna look at
- 3:20Speaker 2: all these people here for him, like this will go on.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Forever they are and we're trying to work our way. Yeah. Yeah,
- 3:27Speaker 1: I don't think it's hyperbole I think she's right. You
- 3:29Speaker 1: got to understand, and I always talking, you know, you
- 3:32Speaker 1: know what I always say, there's the crazies on the
- 3:35Speaker 1: left and the right and the far extreme on both sides,
- 3:38Speaker 1: and then ninety percent of us in the middle who
- 3:39Speaker 1: are just waking up every day reading headlines going what
- 3:42Speaker 1: the hell now, what the hell's going on? Now? Those
- 3:45Speaker 1: people are what's changed. Going back to this for a
- 3:49Speaker 1: quick second on this, if you've ever been on one
- 3:51Speaker 1: of these boats, like on a cruise, you get a
- 3:54Speaker 1: cross section of not only America but the world just general. People.
- 3:57Speaker 1: You talk to him, you're in common areas it or not.
- 4:00Speaker 1: I know, sometimes it's tough to believe. I'm not always
- 4:02Speaker 1: the one talking or starting conversations, even though I'm yacking
- 4:05Speaker 1: on here every single day. I'm usually the one sitting
- 4:07Speaker 1: back and listening, always observing. I just want to get
- 4:09Speaker 1: a sense for what's going on, what's going on in society,
- 4:12Speaker 1: different communities. I intentionally wanted to jump into some conversations
- 4:16Speaker 1: that I overheard, and it was just, you know, it's
- 4:17Speaker 1: a good thing to do anyway, let's get to know
- 4:19Speaker 1: people on this particular boat. Guys. I can't even begin
- 4:23Speaker 1: to tell you how many times it's into the dozens,
- 4:29Speaker 1: literally dozens of times overheard conversations, talk to people myself,
- 4:34Speaker 1: people who said this exact same thing, and this leads
- 4:36Speaker 1: to everything that changed. Yeah that, Uh, I didn't really
- 4:40Speaker 1: know that, that Charlie Kirk guy. But when this was happening,
- 4:42Speaker 1: I went back and I watched, like I find myself
- 4:45Speaker 1: watching like a lot of those YouTube videos. What they're
- 4:48Speaker 1: saying about them be racist and divisive. Yeah, I don't
- 4:50Speaker 1: see that. I again, I can't tell you how many
- 4:55Speaker 1: times I heard that. And it's key to everything. Now,
- 5:00Speaker 1: that's normal people like us, mostly adults, right, But going
- 5:03Speaker 1: back to the student there who was in line going
- 5:05Speaker 1: into the memorial, she said the exact same thing. Do
- 5:10Speaker 1: you know how many college aged students, young professionals, teenagers
- 5:15Speaker 1: are doing the exact same thing and looking back and
- 5:17Speaker 1: finding out what's real and what's not. The result of
- 5:20Speaker 1: that is they looked at the propaganda media, universities, teachers, professors,
- 5:27Speaker 1: things their friends are saying on TikTok or whatever the
- 5:29Speaker 1: hell it is, all of the garbage they're putting out there,
- 5:32Speaker 1: that's not true. They actually examined it for the first
- 5:34Speaker 1: time and they said, well, that's not I don't think
- 5:37Speaker 1: that's true, and I don't think that's cool. And that's
- 5:41Speaker 1: where we're at. When you lose the cool factor, you're done,
- 5:47Speaker 1: I mean done. That's why I say this is a
- 5:50Speaker 1: culturally changing event the light of a horrible, horrible situation,
- 5:55Speaker 1: and it was all leading to this, A lot of
- 5:56Speaker 1: it was anyway. I think this put it on the
- 5:59Speaker 1: fast track when it's no longer cool to be somebody
- 6:03Speaker 1: that wants to censor you. They hate you for your
- 6:07Speaker 1: religious values, they hate this, they hate that. They call
- 6:10Speaker 1: you a racist, they call you a transphobe, they call
- 6:12Speaker 1: you a xenophobe. All the words, all the words are
- 6:15Speaker 1: weapons kinds of things. Right when normal people and there's
- 6:20Speaker 1: that term again, young and old start looking at that
- 6:22Speaker 1: and really examining it, and they found out that's not cool,
- 6:25Speaker 1: that's not true at all. It's like this giant awakening
- 6:29Speaker 1: that's happening. And you heard it right there. That was
- 6:31Speaker 1: one of those students that the network talked to. That
- 6:34Speaker 1: was one You probably hear it now with your friends.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Maybe it's you. I wasn't exactly eight, you know, I
- 6:40Speaker 1: wasn't going online and checking out every single Charlie Kirk video.
- 6:44Speaker 1: But you start to get into a rabbit hole of
- 6:47Speaker 1: everything that was there. This was the guy that actually
- 6:49Speaker 1: wanted to open up the conversation. There are so few
- 6:53Speaker 1: people now that buy this media line, this nonsense propaganda
- 6:56Speaker 1: line that he was a divisive racist, and all that
- 6:59Speaker 1: nobody buys is that. And here's what else it's doing.
- 7:02Speaker 1: It causing a lot of us normal people. And I'll
- 7:05Speaker 1: always use that term to examine what else they lied about.
- 7:08Speaker 1: What else is really happening here? It's a lot, it's
- 7:11Speaker 1: a big change, all right, here's the we'll get to
- 7:14Speaker 1: the zero's here in a moment, but the hero of
- 7:16Speaker 1: the event. We'll get to some of the speeches. But
- 7:20Speaker 1: this was unbelievable and I'm telling you right now, anybody
- 7:23Speaker 1: that's out there today, either online or in the media
- 7:27Speaker 1: or in your personal life, that's criticizing Erica Kirk in
- 7:30Speaker 1: any way, shape or form, And I've actually seen some
- 7:35Speaker 1: so called media personality's trying to make this a racial thing.
- 7:38Speaker 1: You know what, if all the way off with that,
- 7:41Speaker 1: We're just done. It's just done with that nonsense. Because
- 7:45Speaker 1: if you have any criticism in your heart for what
- 7:48Speaker 1: Erica Kirk has done and how she's handled herself throughout
- 7:51Speaker 1: the you just you're soulless and you're gross, and nobody
- 7:54Speaker 1: needs to deal with you. Done. That's another thing that
- 7:57Speaker 1: changed my tolerance are tolerance normal people's tolerants for people
- 8:01Speaker 1: that have hate in their heart and want to find
- 8:03Speaker 1: a criticism of anything, even of this brave lady. Nobody
- 8:07Speaker 1: cares about you anymore. Sorry, don't done. But here she was,
- 8:12Speaker 1: This was this was unbelievable strength.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Father, forgive them for they not know what they do.
- 8:25Speaker 3: That man, that young man, I forgive him.
- 8:39Speaker 1: If you have any interest in criticizing that lady, I'll
- 8:41Speaker 1: say it again, just get lost. F all the way off,
- 8:44Speaker 1: go back into your hole. And here's the thing, don't
- 8:47Speaker 1: even bother because nobody cares about you anymore. Nobody cares
- 8:49Speaker 1: about your hate, Nobody cares about your hot take criticism.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Nobody cares anymore because you have any idea, the guts,
- 8:58Speaker 1: the fortitude, the soul, the level of strength that takes
- 9:05Speaker 1: to get on that stage and do that, and whatever
- 9:07Speaker 1: that is, whatever that bone in your body is, or
- 9:12Speaker 1: that kind of muscle in your heart that allows you
- 9:16Speaker 1: to forgive like that. I don't have it. She obviously does.
- 9:18Speaker 1: I mean, that's why I'm wicked, Bill, and she's Erica Kirk.
- 9:21Speaker 1: I don't have that. I'd like to get to that
- 9:23Speaker 1: some point, but I don't have that right now. Because
- 9:26Speaker 1: if somebody killed my spouse, assassinated them, I'd do whatever
- 9:32Speaker 1: I could to get five minutes alone with him, and
- 9:35Speaker 1: I would literally rip every limb off his body and
- 9:39Speaker 1: I would beat him to death with it. That's where
- 9:41Speaker 1: I am. That's not her. But it takes an awful
- 9:45Speaker 1: lot of forgiveness and strength even to say that, even
- 9:49Speaker 1: to overcome your hate and to do that. And I
- 9:51Speaker 1: know that's a Christian principle, and I understand that we
- 9:53Speaker 1: should all try to work up to that level. I'm
- 9:55Speaker 1: not there yet, but it's sure got me thinking a
- 9:58Speaker 1: lot about forgiveness these days. Sure has because my take
- 10:01Speaker 1: on forgiveness has always been a little bit different, you know,
- 10:03Speaker 1: and turned the other cheek. I've always kind of took
- 10:06Speaker 1: taken that to be a different thing. And I know
- 10:08Speaker 1: that Jesus, you know, turn the other cheek when somebody
- 10:11Speaker 1: strikes you on one side was basically a paraphrasing here,
- 10:14Speaker 1: but a principle of Jesus. I've always kind of taken
- 10:17Speaker 1: that as a different way. It's you hit this cheek,
- 10:20Speaker 1: I'm going to turn the other one, and I fricking
- 10:22Speaker 1: dairy to hit the other one. I may be completely
- 10:26Speaker 1: off on that. Don't ever listen to me for religious advice,
- 10:28Speaker 1: but there is, but a lot of us are thinking
- 10:31Speaker 1: about not only the lunatics that are out there, why
- 10:34Speaker 1: we don't have to listen to them anymore, but we're
- 10:35Speaker 1: thinking about this forgiveness. I've certainly spent since this, since
- 10:38Speaker 1: she said that, has certain certainly spent a lot of
- 10:40Speaker 1: time thinking about forgiveness. Could I ever Could I ever
- 10:43Speaker 1: find the strength that she had? I don't know, I
- 10:45Speaker 1: really don't, funny enough, somebody reposted this uh elon Musk,
- 10:50Speaker 1: who was certainly there and very touched emotionally by it.
- 10:53Speaker 1: He had done an interview with Jordan Peterson not too
- 10:55Speaker 1: long ago, and he was talking about this whole concept
- 10:58Speaker 1: of turn the other cheek. This is interesting what he said.
- 11:00Speaker 1: This made me feel better about how I feel about it.
- 11:02Speaker 4: I do believe that the teaching, the teachings of Jesus
- 11:06Speaker 4: are good and wise, and that there's there's tremendous wisdom
- 11:12Speaker 4: in turn the other cheek. And for a while there
- 11:16Speaker 4: when I was saying I thought, well, that's really a
- 11:18Speaker 4: weak thing. And and and with respect to bullies at school,
- 11:20Speaker 4: I think you shouldn't turn the other cheeks. Pumped the
- 11:22Speaker 4: punch along the nose, and then thereafter make peace with them.
- 11:25Speaker 4: But they need to stop stop bullying you, and and
- 11:27Speaker 4: a punch of the nose will stop that, and then thereafter,
- 11:31Speaker 4: you know, make peace.
- 11:33Speaker 1: That makes me feel better about things. Okay, good, I
- 11:34Speaker 1: could punch the bully in the face and then forgive them.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Then I've covered both bases, all right. Elon was there
- 11:40Speaker 1: as well, and it was nice to see him there.
- 11:41Speaker 1: But some of the other highlights, some of the other
- 11:43Speaker 1: heroes from this thing, this was one of the speeches,
- 11:47Speaker 1: believe it or not, that is getting some of the
- 11:48Speaker 1: most attention. Trump advisor Stephen Miller knew Charlie Kirk personally
- 11:54Speaker 1: and very passionately spoke out about what he was all
- 11:57Speaker 1: defeat the dark.
- 11:59Speaker 5: We will prevail over the forces of wickedness and evil.
- 12:04Speaker 5: They cannot imagine what they have awakened. They cannot conceive
- 12:10Speaker 5: of the army that they have arisen in all of us, because.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Well that's true. But you know, I've actually heard this
- 12:19Speaker 1: a little bit too. I understand this as well, just
- 12:20Speaker 1: from you know, from Jewish friends. I've seen some people
- 12:22Speaker 1: that are follow online saying that as well, saying, you know,
- 12:24Speaker 1: I hope it's not you know, I get it. I'm
- 12:26Speaker 1: totally down with that, and I love Charlie Kirk, but
- 12:28Speaker 1: I hope me being seen as a Jewish person this
- 12:31Speaker 1: isn't seen as a negative. And I don't think that's it.
- 12:33Speaker 1: I really don't. And when it comes down to it,
- 12:35Speaker 1: believe me, you want a movement taking taking place going forward,
- 12:39Speaker 1: and there is one. It's happening. He's right about that.
- 12:41Speaker 1: You want a movement with Christian Judeo values. Believe me,
- 12:46Speaker 1: you want that. And if there's a spiritual awakening. If
- 12:49Speaker 1: more people are going to church or synagogue, it's a
- 12:51Speaker 1: good thing. That's way better than any alternative. It's a
- 12:55Speaker 1: good thing, and that is going to start happening because
- 12:57Speaker 1: the interest go on Google trends are just look at
- 13:00Speaker 1: your local church or wherever you go. Oh, there's more
- 13:04Speaker 1: interest in there's more interest in spiritual awakening. Awakening. Now,
- 13:08Speaker 1: believe me, there actually is, and that's a good thing.
- 13:11Speaker 1: And as far as a movement goes, oh, he's absolutely right. Oh, absolutely,
- 13:15Speaker 1: there is no doubt about it. But it's already been criticized.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Of course, it's already been criticized by some media hacks
- 13:20Speaker 1: that are out there saying and the criticism out there
- 13:22Speaker 1: this was like you couldn't distinguish this from a Nazi
- 13:27Speaker 1: rally in the thirties. I mean, really, there are actually
- 13:30Speaker 1: Cretans out there that actually have broadcast licenses that are
- 13:33Speaker 1: out there saying those kinds and posting those kinds of things.
- 13:36Speaker 1: It's actually happening. But again, what's the difference. Maybe two
- 13:40Speaker 1: weeks ago, maybe one week ago, those people had some credence,
- 13:43Speaker 1: people actually paid attention to them. Not anymore, not anymore,
- 13:48Speaker 1: because their narrative is lost forever, just like that girl
- 13:51Speaker 1: at the beginning, said Telsey Gabbert had another interesting speech.
- 13:54Speaker 1: He was another takeaway that I thought was pretty good,
- 13:57Speaker 1: saying words are violence.
- 13:59Speaker 6: The dissenting voice, voices are hushed, and those who speak
- 14:02Speaker 6: of God, those who speak the truth, simple objectives, truths
- 14:07Speaker 6: like there are only two genders in these schools. They
- 14:11Speaker 6: are told you have no voice.
- 14:14Speaker 1: She kind of picked out one issue there, but it's true.
- 14:16Speaker 1: But it's the voices there. And there's another thing that changed.
- 14:19Speaker 1: So many things changed all at once, and that's why
- 14:21Speaker 1: it actually is a movement. Nobody's afraid to speak up anymore.
- 14:25Speaker 1: The reason why they made words are weapons. Words are weapons.
- 14:30Speaker 1: And it started with political correctness. We all remember that
- 14:32Speaker 1: right in the nineties, late eighties, nineties, throughout that, and
- 14:35Speaker 1: then it turned into DEI and then it turned into
- 14:37Speaker 1: tech censorship, and then it turned into you losing your
- 14:40Speaker 1: job if you said or even thought the wrong thing.
- 14:44Speaker 1: You know why. It wasn't to save people's feelings. It
- 14:47Speaker 1: wasn't to be more inclusive. It was to silence conservative voices.
- 14:50Speaker 1: That's why that happened. We all know it now. That's
- 14:53Speaker 1: the difference. We all know it now. Now throughout this
- 14:56Speaker 1: it has proven once and for all, and nobody's afraid
- 14:59Speaker 1: to speak up anymore. It doesn't mean that you have
- 15:01Speaker 1: to get into fights all the time. It doesn't mean
- 15:03Speaker 1: you have to get into oral arguments. But very few
- 15:06Speaker 1: people are afraid to speak their minds now. And that's
- 15:10Speaker 1: what's different. Decades decades if you happen to have the
- 15:14Speaker 1: opinion that didn't go with the current narrative that was
- 15:17Speaker 1: created by the media and these university professors and the
- 15:21Speaker 1: tech sensors and the giants and the DEI officials and
- 15:24Speaker 1: all the HR departments. For decades we suffered through this.
- 15:28Speaker 1: If you had a different opinion, you're afraid. You're looking around,
- 15:32Speaker 1: looking it over your shoulder, around the corner to see
- 15:34Speaker 1: who's listening. That's gone. Doesn't mean you have to, but
- 15:38Speaker 1: you can because you've got support. Now, that's another thing
- 15:41Speaker 1: that changed. It's all different. But those are some of
- 15:46Speaker 1: the heroes that's spoken. No bigger hero than Erica Kirk. I, guys,
- 15:48Speaker 1: I don't understand that kind of strength, but I hope
- 15:50Speaker 1: to study it, and I hope to have some of
- 15:51Speaker 1: it someday. I really do. But there were still the
- 15:55Speaker 1: zeros there. Now, this was not an overwhelming amount. The
- 15:58Speaker 1: people that were even there, said, the people protesting, that's right,
- 16:02Speaker 1: protesting an actual funeral, that's right. There were creatures outside
- 16:08Speaker 1: of State Farm Stadium that were actually trying to protest
- 16:10Speaker 1: and did. But it was like handfuls, Like really, And
- 16:13Speaker 1: that's another thing. That's another thing indicative of what's going
- 16:16Speaker 1: on here. In some massive paid protests, they didn't dare
- 16:19Speaker 1: people were gonna put up with it. You were a handful,
- 16:22Speaker 1: same hateful crap, same hateful messaging. You're hateful to begin with.
- 16:27Speaker 1: If you show up at at a memorial, for God's
- 16:29Speaker 1: sakes and protest it. That actually happened. But I think
- 16:33Speaker 1: it is an important takeaway as well, as much as
- 16:36Speaker 1: a movement is underway, we also learned something else. And
- 16:39Speaker 1: what's that. If we learned anything about the aftermath of
- 16:43Speaker 1: the Charlie Kirk story, what happened to him, it's that
- 16:47Speaker 1: there are these people are out there, they are they're there,
- 16:52Speaker 1: and it was shocking to a lot of us to
- 16:54Speaker 1: learn how many of them are. Not all, but a
- 16:57Speaker 1: lot of them are teachers, nurses, lawyers, doctors, a lot
- 17:03Speaker 1: of professors, elementary school teachers, high school teachers. There's an
- 17:07Speaker 1: element out there that is so full of hate and
- 17:09Speaker 1: so twisted by whatever. And you know, I usually blame
- 17:14Speaker 1: the media because they usually did this, and the academia system.
- 17:18Speaker 1: They're so twisted and bent and broken and have no
- 17:23Speaker 1: heart and no soul that they're out there now. It's
- 17:26Speaker 1: a nice thought to say, well, I'm just I'm never
- 17:28Speaker 1: going to deal with those people again. Nice thought, I
- 17:30Speaker 1: get it, and that would be my mindset too, except
- 17:33Speaker 1: for one fact. You can't avoid them. Shocking amount of
- 17:36Speaker 1: people we realized are here among us that I have
- 17:40Speaker 1: a lot of hate and a lot of evil in
- 17:42Speaker 1: their hearts. I'd like to be able to avoid them
- 17:45Speaker 1: all too forever. Let's be adults. You can't because there's
- 17:50Speaker 1: a good chance they're going to be in your school,
- 17:53Speaker 1: maybe in your family, maybe at work, somewhere in society.
- 17:58Speaker 1: You're going to have to deal with these kinds of
- 17:59Speaker 1: peace forever and ever. So what do you do. It's
- 18:03Speaker 1: never a good idea to be the first one start
- 18:05Speaker 1: in the fight, but you don't ever back down. Those
- 18:07Speaker 1: two worlds can exist. You don't ever take crap from
- 18:09Speaker 1: these people ever, And you can always speak up. But
- 18:13Speaker 1: if you happen to be in a situation at work,
- 18:16Speaker 1: you gotta an organization. You have to function with these people.
- 18:19Speaker 1: You know what they are, you know what they post,
- 18:22Speaker 1: you know what they say, as long as they're doing
- 18:24Speaker 1: their job and they don't bother you and they're not
- 18:26Speaker 1: doing any damage to your brand. And that's key. I mean,
- 18:29Speaker 1: that was the story behind all these people getting fired.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Let them be, let them wallow in their own misery,
- 18:35Speaker 1: and let them if it becomes a distraction point where
- 18:38Speaker 1: they're affecting your brand, your life, your family, your mental health.
- 18:45Speaker 1: That's where you got to put a stop to that.
- 18:47Speaker 1: And you absolutely do. And why do you do it,
- 18:49Speaker 1: not like they do with violence. If you do it
- 18:52Speaker 1: with questions, and you do it with pressure, or if
- 18:55Speaker 1: you're in a or you do it by getting rid
- 18:58Speaker 1: of the might of your organization. If you're somebody that
- 19:00Speaker 1: the power to fire him, go ahead. You can't have that.
- 19:02Speaker 1: You don't want to be around that. Don't be the
- 19:05Speaker 1: one to start the fight. But as you just heard
- 19:07Speaker 1: right there through several of those clips, you don't have
- 19:12Speaker 1: to be afraid to speak up anymore. You really don't.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Always with a caveat. Just keep your head on a
- 19:17Speaker 1: swivel though, because these evil people, the crazy people, they're
- 19:22Speaker 1: also turning to violence because they have nothing else nothing,
- 19:26Speaker 1: So you don't have to take that kind of crap.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Just be careful. But you can always push back and
- 19:31Speaker 1: send up for yourself because it's true. That's why I
- 19:33Speaker 1: use these terms all the time, of normal people and
- 19:35Speaker 1: crazy people. When they started to blur the lines and
- 19:39Speaker 1: make it confusing, well, you can't use those words. You
- 19:42Speaker 1: can't define normal or crazy. Yes I can, I absolutely can.
- 19:46Speaker 1: There's normal. There's people who are examining themselves after the
- 19:49Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk story and saying I wonder if I wonder
- 19:51Speaker 1: if I'd be able to forgive. And there is crazy.
- 19:53Speaker 1: There's crazy for the people calling for more assassinations. There's
- 19:56Speaker 1: crazy for people maybe in your workplace, who also go
- 19:59Speaker 1: on TikTok eight hours a day and celebrate the murder
- 20:02Speaker 1: of Charlie car There is crazy and there is normal.
- 20:04Speaker 1: It's why I use those terms. The crazy people are
- 20:07Speaker 1: out there, but they don't have the narrative anymore, and
- 20:11Speaker 1: that's a great thing. You're still gonna have to deal
- 20:13Speaker 1: with them because there's too many as we realized and
- 20:15Speaker 1: as we learned. But you don't have to you don't
- 20:19Speaker 1: have to stay silent anymore. Just be careful. That's what
- 20:22Speaker 1: I'll leave you with, all right. Thanks for hanging out
- 20:24Speaker 1: with me, Thanks for sticking with me throughout the throughout
- 20:26Speaker 1: the vacation and everything else, and through this very very
- 20:29Speaker 1: very tough news cycle. But again, there's always light that
- 20:32Speaker 1: comes at the end of this, and I think it's
- 20:33Speaker 1: the movement that's underway. Things are different now, things are
- 20:36Speaker 1: way different. Those crazy people were just talking about they
- 20:40Speaker 1: don't have the narrative anymore, and it's gone for maybe
- 20:43Speaker 1: one hundred years, and that's a great thing. All right.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging out. Thanks for being online with me too.
- 20:48Speaker 1: The audio podcast listeners wherever you download, whatever platform you like,
