TWR Monday | Charlie Kirk Was Our JFK Moment · The Whitfield Report

• 0:01
  The right to offend is not some pesky little part of freedom of
• 0:05
  speech that we have to put up with.
• 0:07
  It is the heart and soul and lungs of freedom of speech.
• 0:11
  It is the coursing lifeblood of human process.
• 0:14
  It is the instigator of liberty and modernity and science and
• 0:18
  understanding. What a laughing stock today's
• 0:22
  student leaders are that they can so casually dismiss the
• 0:26
  right to be offensive without realizing that their lovely,
• 0:30
  enlightened lives are the gifts of individuals who gave offence.
• 0:36
  Offensiveness is not just something we have to
• 0:38
  begrudgingly accept. Offensiveness is the motor of
• 0:42
  human progress. Now broadcasting from the Right
• 0:46
  to Offend media studios in sunny South Florida, bringing you the
• 0:51
  latest in politics, current events, art and pop culture.
• 0:55
  This is the Whitfield Report live with Sam Whitfield.
• 1:00
  But giving offense is good. In fact, it's essential.
• 1:11
  You know, folks, I don't think it's even hyperbole anymore to
• 1:19
  say that Charlie Kirk's death, his assassination at this point
• 1:33
  is the millennial and Gen. Z equivalent of JFK's
• 1:42
  assassination. And for Gen.
• 1:45
  Z specifically, I would also say it's also their 911 as well as
• 1:53
  far as the impact that his assassination has had on people.
• 2:03
  Ordinarily in the past, you would hear someone say something
• 2:10
  like that, and it would be, oh, this person is being dramatic or
• 2:18
  they're being sensational. But given in, in just two weeks,
• 2:25
  really since his assassination occurred, the echoes of that
• 2:39
  have reverberated around the world.
• 2:44
  Literally everyone is talking about this right now.
• 2:50
  Lord knows we've spent the last two weeks really here on the
• 2:58
  Wheatfield Report and on right to offend media.
• 3:01
  Literally every single show from this program that Whitfield
• 3:07
  Report to Bits and Bones and even Maxine's show, The Sandwich
• 3:13
  Makers, we've all talked about it.
• 3:19
  And this is not unique to our podcast or our podcast network.
• 3:28
  Even Charlie Sheen when he was on Joe Rogan's show.
• 3:38
  Of course, it was revealed later that the news of Charlie Crook's
• 3:45
  assassination broke when Charlie Sheen was on Joe Rogan's
• 3:52
  podcast. And the interesting thing about
• 3:59
  that episode was they were actually talking about the JFK
• 4:03
  assassination in Vietnam and Apocalypse Now.
• 4:13
  In fact, they were talking out Apocalypse Now because because
• 4:21
  Martin Sheen, you know, Charlie's dad, is the star of
• 4:26
  that movie. They were talking about Vietnam
• 4:29
  and the impact of JFK when the news about Charlie Broke.
• 4:41
  And Charlie Sheen was one of the first people to say that this
• 4:51
  would have worldwide, you know, echoes and whatnot.
• 5:04
  And I know people, myself included, but have all kind of,
• 5:08
  you know, made fun of Charlie Sheen and rightly so, you know,
• 5:14
  for his whacking, let's face it, drug fueled behavior over the
• 5:20
  years. But you know, he's been sober
• 5:24
  for almost a decade now. And boy, he wasn't wrong on
• 5:30
  that. And, you know, we've said on
• 5:36
  this program that this would be like JFK.
• 5:41
  Max said that this was a lot like, you know, MLK's
• 5:46
  assassination and Malcolm X's assassination rolled into one.
• 5:54
  So yeah, we're not alone in that.
• 5:59
  And we've done several shows on Charlie Kirk's assassination and
• 6:15
  is passing really, since, you know, the news broke because it
• 6:25
  happened on a Wednesday. And Max Morpheus and I won on
• 6:31
  air that same night and just did like a live raw reaction.
• 6:39
  And as I've said before, it's it's a show that I will never
• 6:45
  forget, probably for as long as I live.
• 6:57
  And, you know, every single show since then has been just
• 7:03
  unpacking this momentous event. And the reason I bring all this
• 7:12
  up is I know that the Monday show is usually an interview
• 7:17
  show, folks. We usually have authors or
• 7:21
  creatives that come on and talk about the craft of writing and,
• 7:32
  you know, or talk of, you know, whatever their field of
• 7:37
  expertise is. And I know that there are some
• 7:43
  of you who are probably, you know, fatigued out on the Troy
• 7:50
  Kirk thing already. And I, I get it.
• 7:54
  But at the same time, I really don't feel like there's anything
• 8:04
  else that I can do personally other than just continue to talk
• 8:11
  about this and process this. I've said for years that
• 8:16
  podcasting is a very therapeutic medium for me when I can talk to
• 8:25
  you guys, especially just off the cuff like this.
• 8:30
  And that's true. I have talked to other authors
• 8:37
  who do want to come on the show or want to come back on the
• 8:43
  show, you know, if they've been guests before the interview,
• 8:50
  shows will resume again. But to be honest, I'm not sure
• 8:58
  when, because right now, you know, honestly, it's just very
• 9:07
  hard for me to, you know, talk to someone like Andrew Nelson or
• 9:13
  Eric P Bishop or any, or, you know, anyone like that and ask
• 9:18
  him, you know? So tell me about your latest
• 9:20
  book when this is looming in the background.
• 9:33
  Charlotte's assassination is the £300 elephant in the room for
• 9:42
  the entire world right now. We've talked that a lot, but it
• 9:57
  seems like every day almost, as I've continued to process this
• 10:03
  and as we all have, there are more and more more thoughts and
• 10:13
  more and more reflections to talk about.
• 10:21
  I want to begin tonight's or today's episode, whenever you're
• 10:28
  listening to this, by playing the Sam Hyde clip.
• 10:35
  This is you from his latest podcast episode.
• 10:42
  Now, Sam Hyde is someone who does comedy.
• 10:50
  It's kind of ironic comedy, very dark satire.
• 11:00
  And most of the the people who listen to this program, you
• 11:03
  know, will kind of know who Sam Hyde is.
• 11:09
  But for those who don't, especially like the the Gen.
• 11:11
  X slash boomer contingent, I actually asked Grok earlier
• 11:24
  today how how I would describe Sam Hyde's humor to a baby
• 11:34
  boomer. And what's funny, I guess, to me
• 11:45
  is the fact that I guess the best way you could describe Sam
• 11:54
  Hyde's humor to a baby boomers is it's very much that of Andy
• 12:01
  Kaufman type humor. Sometimes the humor can be
• 12:07
  missed, other times spot on. And sometimes Andy's being
• 12:15
  completely sincere. But, you know, the audience kind
• 12:20
  of picks up on it if they're smart, right?
• 12:27
  So Sam Hyde does a lot of humor. He does a lot of irony comedy,
• 12:36
  and he's done that for years. However, it's very rare when Sam
• 12:45
  Hyde goes completely serious to comment on something.
• 12:55
  It's very rare when he does like an unironic dialogue without any
• 13:08
  hint of comedy or satire. And this instance from the last
• 13:18
  episode of of his podcast is one of those instances.
• 13:27
  And this has gone viral. But I want to play this segment
• 13:38
  for this audience because I have some very interesting thoughts
• 13:43
  on it because honestly, I think this is how we've been feeling
• 13:51
  since this whole thing happened. So again, this is a clip from
• 14:00
  the Sam Hyde show. This is titled This Is You, and
• 14:11
  I think it's very fitting that this is the title, although it
• 14:22
  is tragic. This is you.
• 14:32
  This is your sister, your wife, your daughter.
• 14:36
  But this right here is you. This is your sister, your wife,
• 14:44
  your daughter. This is you.
• 14:48
  This is your sister, your wife, your daughter, but this is you,
• 14:56
  and this is their reaction when you are killed.
• 15:02
  Now, for those listening on audio real quick, I, I want to
• 15:07
  explain when he's saying this is you, he's showing a picture of
• 15:15
  Charlie Couric. And when he's saying this is
• 15:19
  your wife, your sister, your daughter, he has a picture of
• 15:26
  Irena Zarutzka, the young Ukrainian woman who was stabbed
• 15:33
  on a train by a migrant, brutally stabbed and murdered
• 15:49
  just mere days before Charlie's assassination.
• 15:57
  So let me back this up and I'm not going to start from the
• 16:01
  beginning, but just kind of add the context.
• 16:10
  You. This is your sister, your wife,
• 16:15
  your daughter. This is you.
• 16:19
  This is your sister, your wife, your daughter.
• 16:25
  But this is you, and this is their reaction.
• 16:30
  Now what he's showing now when he's saying this is the
• 16:34
  reaction, he's playing clips, and I'm sure by now many of us
• 16:43
  have seen this, he's playing all these TikTok clips and other
• 16:53
  social media clips of these insane, deranged psychopaths
• 16:59
  that are cheering Charlie Kirk's death.
• 17:05
  I don't think there's any further explanation needed for
• 17:09
  that. When you are killed, this is the
• 17:16
  joy they feel. When your sister is raped, when
• 17:22
  your children are castrated, brainwashed to hate you, this is
• 17:30
  their ecstasy. When the floor of the subway car
• 17:36
  is awash in your blood, this is you.
• 17:42
  Make no mistake, that is a symbol that is you.
• 17:47
  But this won't last long. They can't help themselves
• 17:51
  because they're so ugly and so low that the only joy they can
• 17:58
  experience, the only good that they can envision, is to take
• 18:03
  something beautiful or innocent down to their level.
• 18:09
  And when they can't do it, the next best thing is blood.
• 18:15
  This is Charlie's family, and these are his children who will
• 18:21
  never be able to hug their dad and grow up with a murdered
• 18:27
  father. And these are the people who
• 18:32
  smugly revel in this. And they won't stop with just
• 18:37
  Charlie. The boats are burned.
• 18:41
  There's nobody coming to help. The Barbarians are at the gate.
• 18:46
  This is the fall of ancient Rome that we are living through
• 18:50
  currently, and what happens in the next two weeks is going to
• 18:57
  determine the future of mankind. That's not hyperbole, that's
• 19:03
  just how it is. And Sam here is absolutely
• 19:11
  right. And keep in mind this is a man
• 19:22
  who does not get choked up at all, very much like and I and I
• 19:37
  don't even watch him that that regularly.
• 19:40
  But like, from what I have, he's never this raw.
• 19:50
  He's not putting on a, you know, on a character character or an
• 19:56
  act, Which is why, in part, this clip has gone viral.
• 20:10
  You know, usually he's the type, you know, he's one of these
• 20:15
  comedians who does satire and, you know, uses irony as social
• 20:28
  commentary. But for him just to, you know,
• 20:36
  react raw like that and to even get choked up is very rare.
• 20:47
  And it underscores, I think the, you know, I think it I think it
• 20:56
  underscores the severity of Charlie's assassination.
• 21:08
  The first two minutes do now later on in the episode, and I
• 21:13
  encourage you to watch this, he will go a little bit into his
• 21:23
  shtick, a little bit in parts. I don't want to spoil the
• 21:27
  episode. I'm not going to do a, you know,
• 21:30
  a major deep dive analysis. That's not what this episode is
• 21:35
  for, but I did want to analyze this clip because because lots
• 21:42
  of people have been talked about it and I do think it sums up how
• 21:50
  a lot of us feel about Charlie Kirk's assassination.
• 22:02
  Now, on the on the note of the deranged monsters who are
• 22:17
  celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, they all deserve to be
• 22:28
  fired from their jobs. Even more specifically the ones
• 22:37
  who are calling for other people's deaths and other
• 22:46
  people's assassination. And as we've seen the past few
• 22:57
  weeks, a lot of these monsters are getting fired from their
• 23:02
  jobs, they are getting investigated.
• 23:08
  And the far left is all of a sudden crying cancel culture,
• 23:20
  which I want to explain a few things here because the left is
• 23:29
  already trying to spin this right to say that anyone who is
• 23:33
  critical of Trump or anyone who is critical of Charlie Kirk are
• 23:42
  getting reported to HR and getting fired from their jobs.
• 23:50
  That's how they're trying to spin this.
• 23:55
  And they're putting it in that way because that's what they've
• 23:58
  done for the past 15 years. They've been snitching on people
• 24:13
  to HR for simply having different waves.
• 24:18
  They've been taking people's, they've been taking people's
• 24:27
  clips and tweets and social media posts from years ago and
• 24:41
  taking them out of context to make average decent people who
• 24:57
  in some cases are not even all that conservative role that
• 25:02
  politically active. But these are people who are not
• 25:09
  in lockstep with the woke agenda.
• 25:15
  So these are the people who the left has gone after for several
• 25:22
  years now and have gotten them fired from their jobs, gotten
• 25:31
  them kicked out of their colleges and universities, ruin
• 25:41
  them personally and financially, and in some cases even driven
• 25:51
  them to suicide. That's what the far left has
• 25:58
  done. Two decent Americans for the
• 26:02
  last 10 to 12 years, Really. And so now conservatives are
• 26:15
  finally saying we've had enough. You guys are what is celebrating
• 26:23
  the death of a man and calling for others to be assassinated,
• 26:31
  and the left is freaking out. I want to play you an example of
• 26:38
  one of these deranged sociopaths, one of these
• 26:43
  deranged monsters who I don't know if she's been fired yet,
• 26:55
  but she absolutely deserves to be.
• 26:58
  And I know this woman has gone viral in some cases but, and I'm
• 27:10
  not doxing her because her information is already out
• 27:15
  there, but this is an example of a deranged monster who works in
• 27:30
  healthcare and who does not deserve a job.
• 27:44
  It's not even that she doesn't deserve a job in healthcare.
• 27:51
  This is a person who cannot be trusted.
• 28:01
  To work in healthcare, to have people entrust their well-being
• 28:10
  with her. So I made a quote tweet about
• 28:21
  this and I said when when I said on the Whitfield report that I'm
• 28:24
  deeply concerned about psychopaths that work in
• 28:28
  healthcare celebrating the death of Charlie Couric, this is
• 28:32
  exactly who I'm picturing. She's made similar videos and
• 28:37
  this is the least disturbing. 1 And then the the tweet that I
• 28:48
  initially posted here says sorry for this one.
• 28:56
  This woman is an actual demon. Her name is Buffy Usina.
• 29:03
  She works for hcahealthcareinutahherceoissamhazensamo.hazen@hcahealthcare.com.
• 29:19
  Now I have to warn the audience, for those of you who have not
• 29:23
  seen this, this one of this is one of the most disturbing
• 29:30
  things. There are actually 2 videos on
• 29:35
  this tweet. The first one I've seen and it's
• 29:43
  not even the most vile. The second one I have not seen,
• 29:49
  but well, there's no other way for me to describe this then
• 30:03
  just to play it. So I'm going to go ahead and do
• 30:07
  so for you. You don't even need the you
• 30:14
  don't even need the video, quite frankly, because just hearing
• 30:21
  the audio, this is a this is like nightmare fuel.
• 30:29
  What do I? I'm just gonna say it because
• 30:36
  all of you are thinking it. Why Charlie Kirk?
• 30:49
  So there were two better candidates if you were going to
• 30:52
  get the job done. And before you tag the official
• 31:07
  FBI account. So this woman is a literal
• 31:20
  demon. When Alex Jones was talking
• 31:25
  about pot bellied demons who celebrate death, Evelyn thought
• 31:34
  he was being hyperbolic. Including yours truly.
• 31:39
  Honestly I thought, you know, OK, Alex is being a lot of
• 31:43
  hyperbolic, but after the last couple days, Nope.
• 31:56
  This woman sounds like the the Wicked Witch from the Wizard of
• 32:04
  Oz. And that's actually cruel to the
• 32:08
  Wicked Witch because 1 is a fictional character.
• 32:15
  The other is a little which who would hurt you and your family?
• 32:21
  This is a nurse. I believe she's a nurse.
• 32:29
  She, she works in in a doctor's office.
• 32:35
  This is someone who I would not trust with my safety or the
• 32:43
  safety of anyone else and I've not heard this second video yet,
• 32:55
  but let's you know we might as well dive in.
• 33:02
  When I said if you were going to get the job done, there were two
• 33:09
  better candidates. And furthermore, when that
• 33:19
  happens, and it will, it will, not only will we be insensitive,
• 33:31
  that'll be the least of your worries.
• 33:41
  But it's going to be the biggest fucking celebration, the
• 33:47
  biggest, most beautiful celebration on planet Earth, on
• 33:54
  planet Earth right now. The entire planet is going to
• 34:01
  celebrate when he takes the turn finally.
• 34:13
  Yeah, so that demon called for, I believe, the assassination of
• 34:24
  President Trump. JD Vance, I believe that's who
• 34:35
  she's referring to. Doesn't really matter because
• 34:43
  she's she's celebrating death and there are people who are
• 34:51
  saying oh, she's warping or you know, she's acting.
• 34:57
  She doesn't really mean it. Well, when someone is gleefully
• 35:09
  cackling and looking like a psycho and acting like a psycho,
• 35:22
  I don't know. I don't know about you folks,
• 35:26
  but I tend to take these people at their word, at their word
• 35:32
  when they say stuff like this. So, you know, again, ask
• 35:43
  yourself, is this someone who you want near your family, near
• 35:55
  your children, near you? Because this is the type of
• 36:02
  person, even if you're not a conservative, even if you're not
• 36:09
  someone who voted for Trump, let's just say that you're, you
• 36:16
  know, a political, your normal person, your normal guy, a
• 36:27
  normal gal. And you go to the, the doctor's
• 36:36
  office where she works. And let's say she's, you know,
• 36:45
  an assistant nurse or whatever. I don't know what her actual
• 36:47
  position is, but I know that she does work with, you know,
• 36:59
  patients because she said that in other videos too.
• 37:07
  I I think she actually did say that she is a nurse.
• 37:12
  So let's just say you're an average, you know, Joe, you're
• 37:18
  apolitical, but this woman who clearly has a few screws loose,
• 37:34
  thinks that you're a MAGA person or thinks that you're, you know,
• 37:41
  Christian or whatever. Maybe she does.
• 37:51
  Maybe she just doesn't like the look of you.
• 37:55
  And so she sticks you with, you know, with infected blood, could
• 38:07
  be AIDS, could be, you know, some sort of virus.
• 38:15
  What if I have you? Maybe she messes with your
• 38:21
  medication and, you know, causes you harm if she were to take
• 38:41
  out, you know, someone, a perceived, you know, a perceived
• 38:51
  Nazi or a perceived, you know, fascist or whatever not keep in
• 38:59
  mind this is this is a woman who is celebrating Charlie Kirk's
• 39:02
  death, cackling about it. This woman would dance on your
• 39:10
  grave. What a way, even if you're a
• 39:15
  nobody. And so, yeah, I do want her to
• 39:25
  lose her job. I don't want her in a position
• 39:31
  where she can potentially murder other people or cause them
• 39:38
  serious harm. And I know that this post is a
• 39:44
  few days old. I'm hoping it's a God by the
• 39:50
  time that you are hearing this. It is Monday the 22nd, 2025.
• 40:09
  I'm hoping that whenever you're listening to this in the past,
• 40:13
  present, future hour, that this woman is not only fired from her
• 40:18
  job, that she's locked up in the past.
• 40:25
  In a padded cell because she is deranged and if she is caring
• 40:33
  for others. If she has children, well, I
• 40:46
  don't even want to think about that, but they're most likely in
• 40:53
  danger as well. Heck, even if she's some
• 41:02
  deranged, you know, cat light or something, the the cats are
• 41:10
  probably in danger as well. And there are lots of other
• 41:22
  people like this celebrating Charlie Kirk's death.
• 41:29
  And there are entire montages that people have put together on
• 41:35
  YouTube and on X that you can watch.
• 41:47
  And I'm not going to play all those because I think you get
• 41:50
  the point. But it is, I think, important
• 41:56
  that people always see what I mean when I say that this woman
• 42:12
  is a danger. So as I have said, this woman
• 42:35
  wants you dead and people like her want you dead.
• 42:48
  And I know I've played just a just these two clips, but there
• 42:57
  are tons of compilations that people have put together on
• 43:03
  YouTube and X that you can watch not just of her, but other
• 43:15
  deranged monsters celebrating Charlie's death.
• 43:23
  And so US wanting to prevent them from doing harm to others
• 43:40
  is not cancel culture, right? In fact, I want to be very clear
• 43:49
  about this, ladies and gentlemen.
• 43:58
  Because what a lot of these lefties are trying to say is
• 44:03
  that we're just calling up these employers and saying, oh,
• 44:08
  they're criticizing Charlie Couric, you know, get them fired
• 44:15
  or whatnot for, you know, mean spirited Commons.
• 44:19
  No, what's been happening is a lot of people are seeing videos
• 44:29
  like this, particularly, you know, in states like Utah, and
• 44:38
  people are saying, holy crap, this woman works for my doctor.
• 44:49
  This is concerning. And So what they're doing is
• 44:56
  they're calling their doctor's office directly or they're
• 45:01
  calling their healthcare provider or emailing them and
• 45:09
  asking, saying things like, hey, one of your employees is
• 45:23
  celebrating the death of a man gleefully and calling for
• 45:29
  violence towards others. Do you guys know about this?
• 45:35
  And, you know, attaching the clips or whatever, then most
• 45:41
  likely what's happening too is, you know, these employees,
• 45:46
  hopefully the lead doctor's office are taking a look at
• 45:52
  this. And one of two things is
• 45:56
  probably happening. Either the doctors are just like
• 46:01
  outright firing these monsters working in healthcare because
• 46:06
  they're just like, geez, I don't want people like this working.
• 46:11
  Or more like what's what's happening is these people are
• 46:15
  being called, you know, into their lead doctor slash boss's
• 46:25
  office and being questioned about this at the very least.
• 46:29
  And knowing people like this, they have no remorse.
• 46:34
  So then the doctor is probably letting them go or in some
• 46:39
  cases, you know, maybe calling the cops or something too, if
• 46:44
  they're causing endangerment or something like that, versus what
• 46:54
  the left has been doing for years, which is fighting it out
• 47:00
  of context tweet or a, you know, perhaps like an off color joke
• 47:10
  that someone made from 1520 years ago out of context and
• 47:17
  calling them and saying, calling employees and saying so and so
• 47:21
  made an off color joke 15 years ago that's racist or sexist or
• 47:27
  whatever. They're they're unsuitable
• 47:30
  because they're hurting my feelings and they need to get
• 47:33
  cancelled. And a lot of these corporate
• 47:36
  jobs were cave in. Big difference between, you
• 47:42
  know, digging around someone's social media from the past
• 47:47
  versus people who are celebrating the death of Charlie
• 47:58
  Kirk the very same day it happened.
• 48:04
  That's the difference between, you know, cancer culture and
• 48:10
  consequence culture, right? Because that's what the left was
• 48:16
  saying. No, it's not cancer culture,
• 48:19
  it's consequence culture. That's that was their logic at
• 48:27
  the very least, right? So, yeah, I don't feel one out
• 48:36
  ounce of sympathy for any of these people who are getting
• 48:43
  fired for wishing death upon Charlie Kirk or wishing death
• 48:55
  upon any of us for having different views and making, you
• 49:03
  know, even if they're not like, directly perpetrating violence,
• 49:08
  they're making calls to action for violence, which could be
• 49:13
  considered a perceived threat, which is the same as yelling
• 49:18
  fire in a crowded theater. That's not protected speech,
• 49:24
  right? No one, as far as I have seen,
• 49:28
  is getting in trouble for merely saying that they disagreed with
• 49:34
  Charlie Kirk or that they didn't like him.
• 49:37
  No one's getting fired for simply saying that Trump's
• 49:40
  policies soccer, that they don't like the orange bad man.
• 49:46
  They've been saying that for years, and nobody's been, you
• 49:52
  know, canceling them for that. That type of stuff no one cares
• 49:57
  about. Most conservatives still don't
• 50:00
  care about that. So as I've said, it's not really
• 50:07
  cancel culture. Now, another topic that I wanted
• 50:15
  to dive into for this episode is Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.
• 50:28
  And then breaking news this afternoon.
• 50:30
  Apparently he was, you know, well, apparently he's been like
• 50:36
  unsuspended or whatnot. And they're, they're bringing a
• 50:40
  show back on Tuesday. Now, Jimmy Kimmel had made some
• 50:53
  remarks which were basically patently untrue the day after
• 51:03
  the shooting or no, I believe it was two days after the shooting,
• 51:10
  an assassination of Charlie Kirk.
• 51:12
  He went on his show and said that the Mega Gang is trying to
• 51:22
  spin this to suggest that the Charlie Kirk assassin isn't one
• 51:28
  of their own, even though he is right.
• 51:35
  So he's he was perpetuating the narrative that the left was
• 51:39
  trying to spin that the shooter, the, the assassin of Charlie
• 51:49
  Kirk was conservative somehow and that this was one of our own
• 52:01
  crazies killing another crazy right.
• 52:09
  That's that's the narrative that they were trying to spin last
• 52:12
  week almost immediately after it happened.
• 52:14
  And in some cases they're still trying to spin it right.
• 52:19
  But you know, that's pretty tough because it's been
• 52:25
  confirmed that yes, although the, although the assassin did
• 52:30
  come from a conservative family, they, well, they've been
• 52:36
  connected, you know, to the radical left, to Antifa and to a
• 52:45
  lot of this radical transgender ideology.
• 52:51
  The bullet casings were basically saying stuff like
• 52:58
  catch this fascist, where's your God now or no, that was the that
• 53:08
  was the Minnesota school shooting.
• 53:15
  Still horrendous though. And you know other quote UN
• 53:24
  quote anti fascist slogans. But it's been well established
• 53:32
  now in the past week, that this shooter, this assassin, was a
• 53:39
  deranged leftist who had bought into the the narrative line hook
• 53:50
  and sinker. That Charlie Couric was a
• 53:57
  deranged fascist to whose ideas were dangerous and needed to be
• 54:05
  assassinated. And supposedly this assassin
• 54:15
  wrote like a string of text messages to their transgender
• 54:24
  lover saying that they were doing this to protect them or
• 54:31
  something. Even though, you know, I guess
• 54:40
  the lover or the partner or whatever you want to call them
• 54:43
  is, you know, has talked the FBI, the kids family, I guess
• 54:50
  turn them into the FBI too and have pretty much distanced
• 54:55
  themselves from this lunatic. Even so, you know, the left
• 55:10
  continues to part to, you know, push this narrative that the
• 55:17
  shooter is somehow part of the right.
• 55:36
  Which is, you know, that's just laughable at this point, But
• 55:43
  they've done it. So no.
• 55:44
  And, and Jimmy Kimmel was pushing this narrative, so ABC
• 55:53
  suspended to decided to suspend him indefinitely and well, the
• 56:01
  left flipped out and we're saying that this was a violation
• 56:05
  of the 1st Amendment even now. Why it was AB CS decision and
• 56:12
  not the FCC's pressuring to do so despite what they were
• 56:18
  saying. And so, you know, Dave Portnoy
• 56:25
  had a very good take on this actually.
• 56:35
  And, well, I know that I know that Kimmel is back on ABC now
• 56:53
  as of. Today or by the time you guys
• 57:06
  listen to to this, maybe tomorrow if you're if you're
• 57:10
  listening to this on Monday night, let's see here.
• 57:22
  But Jimmy Kimmel put out a or No?
• 57:26
  Dave Portnoy had an interesting take on the Jimmy Kimmel
• 57:30
  suspension from a few days ago in which he explained how Jimmy
• 57:46
  Kimmel getting suspended is not like the FCC interfering or
• 57:51
  whatever the left was pushing, right.
• 57:55
  And so Dave actually explains the process in which, you know,
• 58:06
  ABC went through and how this works.
• 58:10
  Again, he puts it way more eloquently than I could.
• 58:20
  So let's just let's take a listen and of course, add music.
• 58:30
  Sorry about that. What's So This is Portnoy's take
• 58:42
  on the Jimmy Kimmel suspension. OK, all right, I got.
• 59:00
  Chime in here. Everyone's talking about Jimmy
• 59:02
  Kimmel being suspended indefinitely from ABC from the
• 59:05
  show stemming from comments he made.
• 59:08
  One, I guess he was insinuating that the Charlie Kirk assassin
• 59:12
  was far right Magna, one of their own followers.
• 59:16
  And then two, he made a joke about Trump not really caring or
• 59:20
  being sympathetic that Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
• 59:23
  Now, I think I have a unique take on this because I run a
• 59:26
  fairly large media company. I also do media.
• 59:30
  So you're seeing a lot of people right now and I tweet about it
• 59:32
  right away being like cancel culture.
• 59:34
  You're so the right is so hypocritical.
• 59:36
  They're so anti cancel culture and now they want cancel
• 59:40
  culture. To me, this is not cancel
• 59:42
  culture at all. Like what cancel culture is, is
• 59:45
  when you don't like somebody, say me, and then you're like, we
• 59:49
  want to get rid of Dave. So we're going to comb through
• 59:51
  everything Dave has said for the past 20 years and we're going to
• 59:55
  find things we don't like that don't fit in this time period or
• 59:58
  whatever. Not just me, anybody, but that's
• 1:00:00
  canceled culture. Digging through old tweets,
• 1:00:02
  videos, things said to get rid of a person.
• 1:00:05
  Your goal going it's like I'm going to get rid of this person
• 1:00:08
  I like and I'm going to dig up everything that this person has
• 1:00:11
  done their entire life and find some smoking guns.
• 1:00:15
  And put pressure on people to get rid of them.
• 1:00:18
  This what happened to Kimmel. I would say his consequences for
• 1:00:21
  your actions in real time statements in real time.
• 1:00:24
  He made jokes that people didn't like.
• 1:00:26
  He tried to say that the assassin was part of the far
• 1:00:30
  right magnet. He's not.
• 1:00:31
  And then Sinclair communications was like this is garbage.
• 1:00:35
  Our people that we in our markets they don't want to see
• 1:00:39
  this. We're we're preemptively pulling
• 1:00:41
  them off the air, kind of forced AB CS hand.
• 1:00:45
  Now, this is not a free speech issue to me.
• 1:00:49
  I've always said to our employees, listen, you guys can
• 1:00:51
  say whatever you want on your personals.
• 1:00:53
  You can do this, but your your speech has consequences.
• 1:00:57
  If advertisers, if people start putting pressure on me because
• 1:01:01
  you're saying things that they don't like.
• 1:01:04
  This is a capitalist market. Like when the when the juice
• 1:01:08
  isn't worth the squeeze, decisions have to be made.
• 1:01:11
  And for Kimmel, his ratings are down.
• 1:01:14
  And by the way, I'm not like I hated Colbert.
• 1:01:16
  I found him annoying to watch. Kimmel had a watch.
• 1:01:19
  But you know, I take it or leave it, but his ratings are clearly
• 1:01:23
  down. He's making a ton of money.
• 1:01:25
  He's creating clearly headaches for ABC and the affiliate then
• 1:01:31
  drops them. To me, this is like a business.
• 1:01:33
  He's not a journalist. This isn't freedom of the press.
• 1:01:36
  He's not reporting, digging. He's telling jokes.
• 1:01:39
  He's a comedian. He works for somebody else.
• 1:01:42
  Whenever you work for a company or work for somebody else and
• 1:01:47
  you are making statements or doing things that are creating
• 1:01:50
  headaches for the people up top, you're forced with a decision.
• 1:01:54
  What do you do here? They decide.
• 1:01:55
  The easiest move ABC Disney, was to suspend them.
• 1:01:59
  For example, when Penn bought Barstool Sports, one of the
• 1:02:04
  things we agreed upon, one of the guardrails, one of the
• 1:02:07
  things I had to agree when we did the deal is that I and
• 1:02:11
  Barstool would not make fun of politics and government
• 1:02:14
  employees because the government controlled the gambling licenses
• 1:02:17
  and they didn't want to create headaches trying to get these
• 1:02:21
  licenses. So I agreed to that.
• 1:02:23
  That's part of that's part of being in business.
• 1:02:25
  I wasn't allowed to create headaches for my employer.
• 1:02:29
  I knew that. And if I did so, if I did make
• 1:02:33
  fun of, let's say, Massachusetts gambling regulators who are the
• 1:02:36
  worst people on earth and trust me with every fiber of my bone
• 1:02:40
  being I want to make fun of, I would have gotten fired or in
• 1:02:45
  trouble. And I wouldn't have been like
• 1:02:46
  freedom of speech. I would have known this is what
• 1:02:49
  I signed up for. I'm creating more headaches for
• 1:02:51
  my employers than benefit that I'm bringing.
• 1:02:54
  Essentially, that's what Kimmel's doing right now, right?
• 1:02:57
  He's creating more headaches than he is bringing in benefit.
• 1:03:02
  Again, this isn't freedom of the speech.
• 1:03:05
  This isn't cancel culture. This is Jimmy Kimmel isn't being
• 1:03:11
  successful enough right now, right here in time for all these
• 1:03:15
  headaches to be worth it to keep them on the air.
• 1:03:17
  And that's in any field. You don't.
• 1:03:19
  Anytime you work for somebody else, anything you say that
• 1:03:23
  creates giant headaches for your boss can end up in career
• 1:03:28
  repercussions. That is not cancel culture.
• 1:03:31
  That is living in a capitalist society.
• 1:03:38
  All righty. So yeah, in Portnoy, I love him,
• 1:03:45
  hate him, whatever. He's absolutely right.
• 1:03:50
  But the left still complained, right?
• 1:04:01
  And they made a lot of noise over the past couple days and
• 1:04:08
  well, breaking news earlier this afternoon.
• 1:04:13
  Basically, if you're listening to this on Monday, basically,
• 1:04:23
  Kimmel is back on air or coming back.
• 1:04:31
  ABCI guess caved to a lot of the far lefties who are, you know,
• 1:04:42
  who basically complained that like this was the FCC's, you
• 1:04:48
  know, that Trump was silencing, you know, Kimmel.
• 1:04:53
  It really is disgusting, too, because like, now the left is
• 1:04:56
  trying to say that Jimmy Kimmel is their martyr.
• 1:05:03
  They're trying to, you know, they were trying to equate Jimmy
• 1:05:08
  Kimmel's suspension from ABC, which only lasted what, like a
• 1:05:16
  total of five days, including the weekend.
• 1:05:27
  They were, they were trying to act like that, you know, that
• 1:05:30
  that was, you know, akin to Charlie Kirk's assassination,
• 1:05:40
  right? That, that the right is now
• 1:05:45
  persecuting, you know, Jimmy Kimmel in the exact same way.
• 1:05:50
  It's the exact same as Charlie Kirk's assassination.
• 1:05:57
  Don't you understand, guys? It's the exact same that that's
• 1:06:02
  the narrative that they want to frame.
• 1:06:08
  Nobody's buying it. But regardless, I guess ABC
• 1:06:19
  caved to the lefties and this has a lot of people upset,
• 1:06:30
  understandably. But really, like, if you're
• 1:06:39
  surprised by this, if you're surprised that Disney slash ABC
• 1:06:46
  caved to the left, then you haven't been paying attention
• 1:06:56
  because the as I tweeted out right before the show, right
• 1:07:00
  before I hit record on today's episode, in fact, let me again
• 1:07:10
  share the screen here. I'm not surprised, but it
• 1:07:17
  doesn't really matter in the long run.
• 1:07:20
  The late night talk show format and terrestrial television as a
• 1:07:27
  whole are all but dead. This move only prolongs the
• 1:07:32
  inevitable, right? And we've discussed this
• 1:07:39
  particularly over the summer on the on the live show.
• 1:07:45
  We did an entire segment. No, we did an entire episode of
• 1:07:52
  the Wednesday show in which we did deep dive analysis of why
• 1:07:58
  Stephen Colbert is getting canceled.
• 1:08:02
  And, you know, in essence, it's not because of anything he said.
• 1:08:10
  I mean, that's that may be part of it, but ultimately, like no
• 1:08:15
  one is tuning into Stephen Colbert show.
• 1:08:19
  And it was costing CBS like millions of dollars per year
• 1:08:25
  more than he was worth. And so CBS decided just not to
• 1:08:29
  renew the light show contract right in.
• 1:08:34
  A large part of that is unspokenly because Colbert has
• 1:08:44
  alienated so many people for years, just like so many of
• 1:08:49
  these other White Night show hosts.
• 1:08:51
  They're not doing comedy anymore.
• 1:08:53
  They're preaching from their soapbox and finger wagging at
• 1:08:57
  most Americans. And so people are tuning out of
• 1:09:00
  White Night. We discussed that.
• 1:09:02
  So Max My Coast actually replied to my tweet here.
• 1:09:10
  And he's absolutely right here when he says it was inevitable.
• 1:09:14
  His audience wasn't people complaining.
• 1:09:18
  His audience is far left boomers.
• 1:09:21
  Whoever whoever they replaced him with would also be geared to
• 1:09:28
  far left boomers because that's who watches late night TV and
• 1:09:33
  he's absolutely right as a whole.
• 1:09:39
  Like take the politics away from all of this, right?
• 1:09:51
  Our main demographic, ladies and gentlemen of this show of the
• 1:09:56
  Whitfield Deport, according to the analytics for Spotify and
• 1:10:05
  Apple podcasts and most of the podcasts platform, our our
• 1:10:10
  largest demographic, our listeners ages 25 to 40, roughly
• 1:10:26
  our second biggest demographic would be probably like Gen.
• 1:10:31
  Z. We do have a, you know, like a
• 1:10:37
  pretty good percentage of based boomers do watch us, people like
• 1:10:49
  Steve Stratton and my stepdad and others like that.
• 1:10:58
  But for the most part, Gen. X, Millennial and Gen.
• 1:11:02
  Z are the three biggest like demographics for this, for my
• 1:11:13
  show. And in general that's, you know,
• 1:11:19
  that is the predominant media market now just in general.
• 1:11:23
  So I'm not really unique in that aspect.
• 1:11:34
  And like most millennials don't even have, even if they have
• 1:11:47
  cable, they don't watch TV. We stream everything.
• 1:11:53
  And heck, I know a lot of you know, people who don't even like
• 1:12:01
  watch most streaming services like Netflix.
• 1:12:03
  Most people some just watch YouTube or Rumble or listen to
• 1:12:09
  podcasts and that's how they get their entertainment and
• 1:12:14
  information. It's not Even so much like
• 1:12:18
  politics. It's the medium that is dying
• 1:12:22
  off terrestrial television and light night is an antiquated
• 1:12:27
  format. And so by them bring back, you
• 1:12:33
  know, Jimmy Kimmel, the really only, you know, prolonging the
• 1:12:41
  slow demise. Also, what's funny is all these
• 1:12:46
  lefties who were, you know, basically Pearl clutching on
• 1:12:56
  behalf of Kimmel. If you asked any of them if they
• 1:13:02
  were, if, you know, if they were like actually like religious
• 1:13:06
  watchers of Jimmy Kimmel and you really ask them like, honestly,
• 1:13:13
  most of them by and large would say, well, no, I just watched
• 1:13:23
  clips here and there. So even the left really doesn't
• 1:13:28
  watch, you know, White and I or terrestrial television because
• 1:13:33
  again, it's a dying format, you know, and even though like and
• 1:13:41
  even though I do a pretend like, I guess for a mock late night
• 1:13:45
  show, you know, on the Whitfield, right, we we kind of
• 1:13:52
  have taken over that format on Wednesday nights.
• 1:13:55
  You know, like largely people do for the most part, watch this
• 1:14:00
  show on demand that, you know, the next day or whatever, And
• 1:14:05
  same with the Monday show when we do, you know, guest
• 1:14:09
  interviews and what not. So, you know, Kimmel coming
• 1:14:13
  back, I'm really not surprised. And also, like, again, we're not
• 1:14:21
  the ones who, you know, we're watching this begin with.
• 1:14:30
  So it's it's not like, you know, we were all we were already
• 1:14:33
  boycotting Disney. A lot of us did that after Gina
• 1:14:37
  Carano got fired, you know, amongst other reasons to, you
• 1:14:42
  know, ditch the House of Mouse and otherwise legacy media,
• 1:14:50
  right. So like I said, not really
• 1:14:54
  shocking that Camel was back. It, it is what it is, I guess.
• 1:15:04
  And you know, I guess it's unfortunate for them because
• 1:15:07
  they're kind of stuck with this dead weight, but, well, that's
• 1:15:11
  that, that's their decision now finally to kind of conclude
• 1:15:21
  tonight's show. Charlie Kirk's memorial service
• 1:15:29
  was yesterday on Sunday. It was 8 hours long.
• 1:15:38
  And to be honest, I did not really watch.
• 1:15:43
  I did not really watch the stream because honestly, like
• 1:15:51
  part of was I just needed a break from this.
• 1:15:56
  Normally, ladies and gentlemen, I actually do take the weekends
• 1:15:59
  to, you know, decompress from a lot of the stuff.
• 1:16:04
  And you know, this was no exception.
• 1:16:12
  And there was so much, you know, content really, for a lack of a
• 1:16:21
  better term to go through. Like I said, the service was 8
• 1:16:26
  hours long. And I did see, like, parts of
• 1:16:34
  Tulsi Gabbard's speech. And from I heard it was, you
• 1:16:39
  know, fantastic. She's an incredible speaker, as
• 1:16:44
  always. I've said that even back when
• 1:16:47
  she was a Democrat still on Joe Rogan, I've always been
• 1:16:50
  impressed with her. And Marco Rubio's speech, from
• 1:16:57
  what I heard was all, you know, I watched part of that.
• 1:16:59
  That was also fantastic. I did not see Erica Kirk's
• 1:17:06
  speech. I had gotten a phone call and
• 1:17:08
  then I got busy with something else.
• 1:17:12
  You know, obviously the, the big clip that has been circulating
• 1:17:16
  today, you know, has been that she forgives Charlie's killer.
• 1:17:27
  And well, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to be honest.
• 1:17:40
  Erica, if she's being genuine, and I have no reason to doubt
• 1:17:45
  that she is genuine to forgive her husband's murderer so soon
• 1:18:00
  after his death, well, she's a she's a much better woman and a
• 1:18:15
  much better, I guess, Christian to forgive her husband's
• 1:18:23
  murderer so soon afterwards that I am Admittedly, I was actually
• 1:18:39
  thinking about this before I hit record on today's show because.
• 1:18:49
  Really, I don't really know how to articulate this, so I am just
• 1:18:56
  going to put it out there and, you know, whatever however this
• 1:19:10
  comes across to you, take it for what you will.
• 1:19:19
  Erica Kirk's decision to forgive her husband's murderer is
• 1:19:35
  tremendous for her, and that takes real strength.
• 1:19:55
  Now, some are saying that they think it's a grift.
• 1:20:00
  They think it's, you know, an act.
• 1:20:04
  They think it's a really cry. And I don't.
• 1:20:14
  I believe that she's genuine. And that's her decision to do
• 1:20:28
  so. And she felt compelled to share
• 1:20:33
  that with the audience, much like I've been compelled the
• 1:20:40
  last couple days to speak to you all about my feelings in regards
• 1:20:48
  to the Charlie Kirk assassination.
• 1:20:58
  I'm not saying that she's wrong to freak of her assassin, to get
• 1:21:03
  fruit, to forgive her husband's assassin.
• 1:21:07
  Excuse me. Like I said, that takes
• 1:21:11
  tremendous strength and tremendous fortitude.
• 1:21:18
  However, I do want to say that not all of us are ready to
• 1:21:27
  forgive Charlie's assassin. Yeah, for many of us it is still
• 1:21:39
  far too raw, and I am in that category now.
• 1:21:49
  I believe with time I will be able to forgive Charlie Kirk's
• 1:21:59
  assassin, and I certainly hope so.
• 1:22:09
  I pray that that is the case, but many of us are not ready to
• 1:22:19
  forgive Charlie's assassin yet, and that's OK.
• 1:22:33
  This is part of the grieving process.
• 1:22:38
  And so if you're with Eric Kind forgiving Charlie's assassin,
• 1:22:48
  that's fine. Good on you.
• 1:22:52
  I don't think you should be telling other Christians that
• 1:22:56
  no, it's too early. You shouldn't forgive Charlie's
• 1:23:00
  assassin because like I said, people are processing this in
• 1:23:08
  different ways. Contrarily, I don't think people
• 1:23:12
  should be saying either. And I, I've seen this going
• 1:23:15
  around social media a few times too.
• 1:23:23
  I don't think people should be saying, well, Erica forgave the
• 1:23:29
  assassin, therefore we all need to immediately forgive right
• 1:23:36
  now. And you know that that that's
• 1:23:40
  that forgetting someone like that is very personal thing,
• 1:23:45
  particularly when a crime like this is so heinous and it is
• 1:23:52
  going to take a long time. And I know that this has
• 1:23:59
  nothing. I know that this is a completely
• 1:24:01
  different example, but if I may. Share a kind of personal example
• 1:24:10
  in a personal anecdote to kind of illustrate this point.
• 1:24:15
  So as many of you know, my uncle Gary, who was my favorite uncle,
• 1:24:25
  I've spoken about him numerous times on the show before.
• 1:24:32
  He was in many ways, like a father to me.
• 1:24:38
  But as I've also said on the show, you know, despite his big
• 1:24:42
  heart and despite his, you know, warmth and just general, you
• 1:24:49
  know, and just genuine and good character.
• 1:24:54
  He also struggled with alcoholism and eventually, you
• 1:24:58
  know, succame to liver cirrhosis and died.
• 1:25:06
  And he had dealt with, you know, depression for most of his adult
• 1:25:11
  life. And part of that was because my
• 1:25:14
  other uncle died in a plane crash before I was born.
• 1:25:20
  And that was my uncle's way of coping, I think, was drinking.
• 1:25:28
  And many of us in the family have, well, you can never know
• 1:25:36
  for sure, but we think his alcoholism, at least I've come
• 1:25:40
  to believe that his alcoholism was kind like a slow suicide,
• 1:25:48
  more or less. That was his way of dealing with
• 1:25:50
  the pain and whatnot. So to be honest, when he passed,
• 1:25:58
  when my uncle Gary passed, I was angry with him because here I
• 1:26:05
  was 20 years old, about to turn 21 years old.
• 1:26:13
  I was still very insecure with myself as a person.
• 1:26:17
  I, I still was struggling with a lot of feelings of inadequacy
• 1:26:24
  and depression of my own. And Gary was kind of always the
• 1:26:30
  person that I'd gone to, you know, talk to and ask for advice
• 1:26:36
  about things. Like I said, the man was a
• 1:26:38
  father figure to me. And so when he died, part of me,
• 1:26:43
  in addition to feeling grief, fell anger towards my uncle.
• 1:26:50
  I was angry because I felt like he had abandoned me selfishly,
• 1:27:00
  and it took me about a year and a half to forgive him and to
• 1:27:09
  grow and to process his death. I remember I was so angry with
• 1:27:27
  him at first. I still miss him.
• 1:27:38
  There are still moments where I wish he was here because I
• 1:27:44
  really would, you know, love to know what he thought about
• 1:27:51
  things. And by the way, as I've said
• 1:27:55
  before too, Gary, you know, he and I really didn't agree on
• 1:28:01
  politics, but he was one of the last, he was one of the last
• 1:28:05
  decent people kind of on the, I don't even want to call him on
• 1:28:09
  the left because he was more of like an old school liberal, you
• 1:28:15
  know, by today's standards, you know, more of like a libertarian
• 1:28:21
  towards the end of his life. But you know, he and I disagreed
• 1:28:24
  on things politically and instead of, you know, him and I
• 1:28:30
  name calling what we would have in depth discussions about
• 1:28:34
  things. And we might not always agree on
• 1:28:38
  things, but we would have very interesting and in depth
• 1:28:43
  discussions about things. And normally we would always
• 1:28:50
  come to, well, I don't necessarily agree with your
• 1:28:54
  opinion, but that's, you know, that's an interesting point of
• 1:28:56
  view and something to consider. And I hadn't, you know,
• 1:28:59
  considered that before. Both of us would have that.
• 1:29:03
  And like I said, we may never, there were some topics where we
• 1:29:07
  were never going to agree on, but we would still consider, you
• 1:29:16
  know, we'd still respect each other and we still valued each
• 1:29:22
  other's opinions, right? All that is to say that, you
• 1:29:31
  know, when I lost him was incredibly difficult.
• 1:29:33
  And it took me about a year and a half to forgive him because I
• 1:29:41
  felt he was being selfish and he had selfishly taken his own life
• 1:29:45
  and left me alone without direction.
• 1:29:51
  It took me roughly a year and have to realize and, you know,
• 1:29:58
  through counseling and through, you know, going to student
• 1:30:02
  ministry in college and really understanding of it.
• 1:30:05
  You know, Gary had already left me the tools that I needed to
• 1:30:10
  kind of cope and, you know, deal with my grief and that the best
• 1:30:18
  way I could, you know, Honors Legacy was to treat people
• 1:30:22
  decently the way he did and to carry people, you know, into
• 1:30:26
  dialogue with people in the same way that he did, Right?
• 1:30:33
  And so I believe that that's what Gary would have wanted.
• 1:30:36
  And so I was able to come to forgive him, and I stole
• 1:30:41
  terrible. I miss him, but I know he's up
• 1:30:44
  in heaven. And like I said, it took me a it
• 1:30:50
  took me roughly a year and a half to forgive him, but I
• 1:30:56
  wasn't ready to forgive him my way, even though there were some
• 1:31:00
  people who were saying that, well, I just needed to forgive
• 1:31:03
  him because that was the right and proper Christian thing to
• 1:31:07
  do. Grief is a process, and we all
• 1:31:15
  have to do with it in our own way.
• 1:31:18
  And so good on Erica Kirk, you know, for, for forgiving her
• 1:31:24
  husband's murderer. That strikes tremendous
• 1:31:31
  strength. Many of us just aren't there
• 1:31:34
  yet. I wish him no further harm.
• 1:31:49
  I wish him, I wish his family no harm.
• 1:31:54
  Certainly I don't even wish his partner any harm.
• 1:32:03
  I know that justice will be served and I do want to make
• 1:32:09
  something perfectly clear here in closing.
• 1:32:15
  You know, for all of the people who wish death upon Troy, who,
• 1:32:21
  who have celebrated his death and who wish harm upon others,
• 1:32:32
  myself included, I wish no pre emptive violent retaliation
• 1:32:43
  against them should they attempt to harm us.
• 1:32:50
  We should absolutely defend. We should absolutely defend
• 1:32:53
  ourselves if it comes down to that.
• 1:32:55
  But we should not preemptively go and harm them.
• 1:33:05
  Rather, we should seek out, you know, alternatives to make sure
• 1:33:13
  that they can't harm people, but do so legally.
• 1:33:19
  Like I said, if, if you feel that you know, you are in danger
• 1:33:24
  and you know someone who is celebrating Charlie's death and
• 1:33:28
  intimating threats against, you know, others or you personally,
• 1:33:34
  you know, it's imperative that you contact HR, contact your
• 1:33:38
  college if need be, contact the police and let them know about
• 1:33:45
  this. Let's pursue this the correct
• 1:33:50
  and proper way, ladies and gentlemen, Let's not stoop to
• 1:33:55
  their level. And maybe through doing this,
• 1:34:00
  maybe more of us will be able to, you know, forgive Charlie's
• 1:34:04
  murder. I, I believe I will.
• 1:34:08
  But time heals all things, and this is just one of the grieving
• 1:34:16
  steps, I believe. I want to thank you for tuning
• 1:34:23
  in to this Monday's episode, and on Wednesday I'm sure we'll be
• 1:34:35
  digging into some of the Charlie Kirk memorial stuff.
• 1:34:41
  And also maybe some of the Mr. Medicare stuff too.
• 1:34:52
  But irregardless, wherever you are, I wish you all nothing but
• 1:35:03
  good health. Stay safe, hold your loved ones
• 1:35:10
  a little closer, and keep on being the happy warrior that
• 1:35:18
  Charlie Kirk was. As I said, I only met the man
• 1:35:26
  once, but man, the I've been reflecting on that one Skype
• 1:35:35
  meeting that I had with him that one time, and I've been
• 1:35:38
  reflecting on just the memories of my other friends who work for
• 1:35:42
  him and seeing their photos with a minute.
• 1:35:45
  It does make me smile fondly because although I never knew
• 1:35:51
  the man directly, I was but blessed to be in that circle for
• 1:35:58
  the period of time I was. And I've been very blessed to
• 1:36:03
  know other people like Jason Viele, like Max, like all the
• 1:36:12
  guests I've had on the show, like right to offend media, like
• 1:36:18
  Next Gen. Conservative, just so many
• 1:36:22
  people. I feel so blessed to do what I
• 1:36:26
  do, and I am so blessed that God has allowed me to continue
• 1:36:32
  broadcasting. I don't take this for granted,
• 1:36:40
  especially after the past two weeks.
• 1:36:46
  I love you all in the audience and I wish you nothing but the
• 1:36:51
  best good health. Stay safe out there.
• 1:36:56
  I'll see you Wednesday night and God bless.
• 1:37:01
  Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for turning in.
• 1:37:09
  The right to offend is not some pesky little part of freedom of
• 1:37:13
  speech that we have to put up with.
• 1:37:15
  It is the heart and soul and lungs of freedom of speech.
• 1:37:19
  It is the coursing lifeblood of human progress.
• 1:37:22
  It is the instigator of liberty and modernity and science and
• 1:37:27
  understanding. What a laughing stock today's
• 1:37:30
  student leaders are that they can so casually dismiss the
• 1:37:34
  right to be offensive without realizing that their lovely,
• 1:37:38
  enlightened lives are the gifts of individuals who gave offence.
• 1:37:44
  Offensiveness is not just something we have to
• 1:37:47
  begrudgingly accept. Offensiveness is the motor of
• 1:37:51
  human progress. Thank you for watching the
