Dave Rubin Confronts Those Who Justified Charlie Kirk's Murder and the Profiteers of His Death
Dave Rubin addresses two disturbing responses to Charlie Kirk's murder: those who celebrated it and those now profiting by dismantling everything Kirk stood for. Featuring Erika Kirk's emotional response to people who said her husband "had it coming," Rubin calls out Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens for abandoning the Republican party while warning that America may not survive to see its 250th anniversary in 2026. This raw examination challenges viewers to pause amid the cultural chaos and reconsider what truly matters.
Erika Kirk Responds to Those Who Justified Her Husband's Murder
The conversation begins with one of the most disturbing aspects of Charlie Kirk's murder: the public reaction from certain segments of society who justified his death. The host notes that some people claimed Charlie Kirk "had it coming" because he said or believed things they considered controversial or hateful.
When asked what she would say to people who justified his death, Erika Kirk responded with raw emotion: "You're sick. He's a human being. You think he deserved that? Tell that to my three-year-old daughter. Excuse me. You want to watch and high res the video of my husband being murdered and laugh and say he deserves it. There's something very sick in your soul and I pray that God saves you. I pray because that is what is so wrong. The internet in this world has dehumanized us."
The Danger of Calling Everyone Nazis
Dave Rubin identifies two distinct groups responding problematically to Charlie Kirk's death. The first group actively celebrated it. Rubin clarifies this wasn't everybody on the left, but notes a dangerous pattern: "We've been warning for quite some time if you called everybody Nazis that people might start killing Nazis, but it wasn't everybody. But there was a certain portion."
The Profiteers: Those Burning Down What Charlie Stood For
The second group Rubin identifies is even more troubling to him: people who have decided to profit from Kirk's death by dismantling everything he cared about and lived for. Rubin specifically calls out Tucker Carlson, referencing a statement where Tucker said "the people he hates most are Christian Zionists."
"Charlie was literally the number one Christian Zionist in the world in some sense, right?" Rubin emphasizes. "This is the road that you guys have all gone down. So whether it's for money or for clicks or for some trying to fill some freaking spiritual void or something, it's like everybody maybe right now, you know, it's Christmas in two weeks. Like maybe everybody wants to pause for a moment and take a moment and think about what that is about."
Candace Owens and the Republican Party Debate
Earlier in the discussion, a clip of Candace Owens is shown where she states: "And I don't care about your midterms, okay? I don't care about your next year midterms and whether or not the Republican party is united. Okay?"
The response to this is forceful and urgent: "I care about those midterms because if the Democrats win and they keep getting cities like they just got New York City and if you know Jasmine Crockett becomes a senator from Texas, we could give this all up. We are rolling into our 250th anniversary. 2026, 250 years of America. Pretty freaking sweet, but pretty freaking young. Most countries in Europe are way, way older than us. Some of them in the thousands. We may not make it. So, you better damn well care."
The speaker continues: "So, when you hear people like her saying, 'Well, I don't care anymore. The Republicans suck.' Or Tucker's been saying it, you know, he hates the Republicans some like he hates the Republicans more than he hates the Democrats. I'm not saying everything they do is perfect. It is what it is. They're it's politics. But if you can't see what is good and what is bad right now or you're somehow rooting for the bad side so you can punish some other people, I don't know what to do with you."
A Call for Humility and Forgiveness
Rubin reflects on the deeper spiritual crisis underlying these conflicts. "Maybe we want to think a little bit about humility and forgiveness and everything else, which is why I'm trying to do this show this way and not add fuel to the fire," he explains.
He reveals his internal struggle: "Phoenix and I have been having a back and forth on how do we deal with this and should I be fighting back, you know, because I'm getting name checked in Tucker show and Candace and all this stuff all the time. Do I want to be part of that? Is that what I want my life to be? And do I want to just narrate the end of the world?"
Personal Costs and What Truly Matters
Rubin acknowledges personal costs to these battles, mentioning that Megyn Kelly unfollowed him on Twitter. "I guess I'm not friends with Megan anymore. Okay. It's fine. Like it actually it's literally it's fine. It's fine. When she unfollowed me on Twitter for 2 minutes, I was like, well, that that sucked. Like, what's going on here? And then I was just like, it's fine. It doesn't none of this matters in that personal like that doesn't matter to you. That doesn't matter to the culture war, right?"
He concludes with a broader perspective: "But something about what is happening right now is way deeper than just the political part. And we've got to figure this out."
