Hollywood Stars Defend Charlie Kirk as Trish Regan Reflects on Cultural Turning Point in America

[00:00] A lot of people in Hollywood, I'm happy

[00:02] to say, are coming out for one, Charlie

[00:05] Kirk. Kristen Chennowith, remember her

[00:07] from Wicked, great voice, former Miss

[00:10] Ohio, oporatically trained. So, you

[00:12] know, I I I have a lot of respect for

[00:13] her. She's um very religious as well.

[00:16] She has come out for Charlie and uh that

[00:20] was just great to see. Great, great,

[00:21] great to see. Let me see if I can share

[00:23] with you what she actually said because

[00:24] it wasn't just her. There's been a few

[00:26] of them now that have come out and said,

[00:28] "You know what? This is wrong. It never

[00:30] should have happened. And it takes a

[00:33] little bit of bravery. Selma Blair as

[00:35] well. Let me see if I can get this one

[00:37] onto the screen. Okay, here we go. Selma

[00:40] Blair um actually posted a comment on

[00:42] Instagram saying, "What an incredible

[00:45] man. This incredible man who would go

[00:47] into the cauldron of indoctrinization

[00:49] and to use logic to have dialogue." And

[00:52] I am sick for his family, for all of us.

[00:55] And then Christian Chennowith agreed.

[00:56] and she said, "I, you know, I agree with

[00:58] what you're saying, Selma." Adding her

[01:00] own comment on Charlie. Quote, "I'm so

[01:03] upset. Didn't always agree, but

[01:05] appreciated some of his perspectives.

[01:07] What a heartbreak. His young family. I

[01:10] know where he is now in heaven." Well,

[01:12] their fans went bonkers. Okay, their

[01:14] fans went bonkers, which also gives you

[01:16] a little bit of a read of the room. So,

[01:19] I'm encouraged that people feel

[01:21] comfortable enough to speak out right

[01:23] now. I think that's important. And so

[01:25] they have my backing for sure in that

[01:27] they're speaking out at a really really

[01:29] important time. I like seeing that they

[01:31] in

[01:32] I like seeing that they're coming to the

[01:34] defense of Charlie Kirk. You know who

[01:35] else came to the defense of Charlie

[01:37] Kirk? How do you like this? Coldplay.

[01:41] Chris Martin.

[01:43] Great band. You know the guy that used

[01:44] to be married to Gwennneth Paltro. He's

[01:46] in London at a concert and what did he

[01:48] do? He encouraged his entire audience to

[01:52] put their hands up and send love out to

[01:54] Charlie Kirk's family. Watch.

[01:56] And so with that in mind, for the final

[01:58] time for a few years in London, let's

[02:00] raise our hands like this and uh send

[02:03] love anywhere you want to send it in the

[02:05] world. And there are so many places that

[02:07] might need it today. So here it comes

[02:09] from London. You can send this to your

[02:11] brother or your sister. You can send

[02:12] this to families of people who've been

[02:14] going through terrible stuff. You can

[02:15] send it to Charlie Kirk's family. You

[02:17] can send it to anybody's family. You can

[02:18] send it to people you disagree with, but

[02:20] you send them love anyway. You can send

[02:22] it to peaceful people in the Middle

[02:23] East, in Ukraine, in Russia, in

[02:25] Azabaijan, in Sudan, in Somalia,

[02:28] anywhere that you think might need love

[02:29] from London. Here it comes in 5 4 3 2 1.

[02:35] And everybody put their hands up and

[02:37] everybody sent love. And he worked

[02:40] Charlie's family right into that

[02:44] because no one deserved what Charlie

[02:45] got.

[02:47] Deborah Messing. Another one. It's like

[02:50] the best picture I've ever seen of her.

[02:51] Deborah Messing, who by the way was just

[02:53] awful to me. Like she was like tweeting

[02:55] against me back in 2020 all the time.

[02:57] I'm like, when did I suddenly bring on

[02:59] the wrath of Deborah Messing? Oh, and B.

[03:01] Midler was the other one. Um, well, I

[03:04] think that she's actually become much

[03:07] more in touch with her faith as a Jewish

[03:10] woman. And this is one of the things

[03:12] that Charlie really stuck up for. He was

[03:14] a Christian, but he was also quite a

[03:16] Zionist. And I I think she's quite quite

[03:19] upset with what has happened to Charlie.

[03:22] Let me share with you some of what she

[03:24] wrote. She said, "I couldn't sleep last

[03:26] night. The assassination of Charlie Kirk

[03:28] is so horrifying and devastating. I'm

[03:30] with her. I couldn't sleep. I didn't

[03:31] sleep all last week. I barely slept this

[03:32] weekend. I wanted to come on with you

[03:34] guys this weekend. We had some content,

[03:35] but you know what? It was just I needed

[03:38] a couple days. I really did. I really

[03:40] needed that. Um it's it's a tough thing

[03:43] for all of us to be going through." She

[03:45] wrote, "Uh, I found many things he said

[03:47] offensive, but he was the father of two,

[03:49] a husband, a devout Christian, someone

[03:51] smart and articulate who believed in the

[03:52] power of debate over violence." Yes.

[03:55] Yes. Okay. The power of debate.

[03:59] He was a nonviolent person who just

[04:02] believed in intellectual curiosity and

[04:04] debate.

[04:06] And yet this senseless act happened. She

[04:10] wrote, "I am praying for Charlie Kirk's

[04:11] family, his friends, and the students

[04:14] who witnessed his killing. I'm also

[04:15] praying for those who are celebrating,

[04:17] right? Because that's pretty awful that

[04:18] they anybody out there would do that.

[04:22] They have to wake up to the darkness

[04:23] that they are endorsing. We have to be

[04:26] better. We have to be human. Okay, I

[04:29] know. I know Deborah Messing has had her

[04:32] share of, you know, liberal nonsense

[04:35] just like Whoopi. And maybe they're just

[04:37] trying to save their careers. I see some

[04:39] comments on that. Like, I get it. But

[04:41] you know what? For a day or two in

[04:44] Charlie's memory, I'm willing I'm

[04:46] willing to extend them the benefit of

[04:48] the doubt and hope that this is a moment

[04:51] of peace for the better. A moment where

[04:53] we can come together. A moment where you

[04:56] know the Karen Basses of the world that

[04:57] want to double down on all that bad

[04:59] stuff or any of those kids out there on

[05:02] Tik Tok doubling down on bad stuff that

[05:04] that they're they're the ones out in the

[05:08] cold that the rest of the nation is

[05:09] going to come together a and be one and

[05:12] think about how we have articulate,

[05:15] smart, thoughtful, respectful debates

[05:18] with one another. We don't need like the

[05:20] guy at the Oxford Union Club. Okay,

[05:22] that's not respectful, honest debate.

[05:24] That's I want to kill you because I

[05:26] don't like your side and if I have to

[05:28] resort to violence, so be it. No, no,

[05:29] no, no, no, no, no. That is never what

[05:31] Charlie stood for. That's not what our

[05:34] country stands for.

[05:37] Chris Pratt, an actor from Parks and

[05:39] Wreck, he got a lot of flack for this

[05:43] one, but he just asked people to pray to

[05:47] pray for Charlie.

[05:50] Hey guys, just stop real quick and pray

[05:51] with me.

[05:54] Lord,

[05:56] you say, "Be still and know that I am

[05:57] God." Psalm 46:10, "Be still and know

[06:01] that I am God." In this moment, please,

[06:03] Lord, calm my restless mind.

[06:06] Quiet my anxious heart.

[06:10] Help me set aside distractions and

[06:15] choose what gives life and gives peace.

[06:20] Isaiah 26:3. You keep in perfect peace

[06:22] those whose minds are stayed on you,

[06:26] Lord. Fill me with strength to turn my

[06:29] attention toward you that I find rest

[06:34] and joy in your presence. Amen.

[06:37] Amen. Okay. Right. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[06:41] Amen. Um, I love that some of Hollywood

[06:46] is coming to his defense. I think we all

[06:49] must come to Charlie's defense. We are

[06:51] all Charlie Kirk right now. No matter

[06:54] what side of the aisle you are on, if

[06:57] you believe in fairness, if you believe

[06:59] in this great republic, if you believe

[07:02] in our First Amendment, you must stand

[07:06] for Charlie Kirk.

[07:10] and he cannot have died in vain.

[07:14] This is the turning point for America.

[07:18] We reached a million subs here on the

[07:20] Trishan channel just yesterday. I've

[07:22] been working really hard over the last

[07:25] couple years, really religiously over

[07:27] the last year and a half, being here

[07:29] every single day with you, no matter

[07:31] where I am in the world to make sure

[07:33] that we are

[07:36] talking together about the biggest

[07:37] issues we're confronting of our time. I

[07:39] mean, we really are on the front lines

[07:40] of history in more ways than one. In a

[07:42] very transparent way, in a very

[07:43] different kind of way, in a very, very

[07:46] honest, brutally honest way. Um, no

[07:49] teleprompterss, no middle management,

[07:52] um, no bells and whistles, just you and

[07:55] me. And it's a very special thing that

[07:58] we've been able to create. And I I I'm

[08:00] so excited for us reaching that mark.

[08:04] But it also comes at a somber time, at a

[08:06] difficult time, at a time when, you

[08:09] know, I I I wish I wish we had other

[08:12] things to be talking about, right? I

[08:15] it's it's natural to be excited and you

[08:18] know I want to have balloons and a cake

[08:19] and a big big party, but I'm not really

[08:23] in the mood for a party right now. What

[08:26] I'm in the mood for is a chance for

[08:28] America

[08:30] to come to its senses, for America to be

[08:34] thoughtful and respectful of one

[08:35] another, to look out for each other in

[08:38] ways that we so deserve.

[08:44] Because what we have seen unfortunately

[08:50] from a lot of people and I don't know

[08:51] why they did this. I don't know why

[08:54] you've seen the the we call them s I

[08:57] mean sound on tape s strings you string

[09:00] together all those sotss and I've played

[09:02] them for you of the left just bashing

[09:05] the right and bashing MAGA and bashing

[09:08] Trump over and over again and sending

[09:10] this terrible message to everybody like

[09:13] why what like when in politics have we

[09:16] ever done that I know they didn't like

[09:19] Reagan you know they called him stupid

[09:21] they didn't like Dian Quail they called

[09:22] him stupid, too. I mean, Reagan was the

[09:24] actor, right? They didn't like Bush. I

[09:27] remember his daughter, uh, you know, Jeb

[09:30] Bush, Bush's daughter, telling me, I

[09:33] interviewed her once, and she was saying

[09:35] that it was, it was awful when she was a

[09:37] student at Yale, and she would have to

[09:39] like her friends would take her down

[09:40] another path to get to wherever they

[09:42] were going because there were all these

[09:44] anti-bush signs up everywhere. Like for

[09:47] whatever reason, the left has been able

[09:48] to just pound the right and call people

[09:52] things that you would not call them. I

[09:54] mean, whether you know, oh, we're gonna

[09:56] say they're racists or they're Nazis or

[09:58] they're this or that. I mean, it's like,

[10:01] wow. Like, how do you get away with

[10:03] that?

[10:05] Here's the thing. You're not going to

[10:07] get away with it anymore. Those days are

[10:10] over.

[10:12] We're speaking up.

[10:14] 37,000 turning point chapters being

[10:18] started, new ones all across the

[10:20] country.

[10:22] Conservatives coming out of the woodwork

[10:24] saying, "Hey, I got to defend myself, my

[10:27] family, and my country.

[10:29] If not for me, for Charlie, I got to

[10:31] defend freedom of speech. I got to

[10:33] defend the right for

[10:35] common decency and dialogue." This is so

[10:39] important right now.

[10:42] and it's important what we're doing here

[10:44] on this channel. So, I want to thank you

[10:46] all for being here. Make sure that you

[10:47] subscribe if you haven't. There's a bell

[10:49] then you know exactly when I'm live. We

[10:51] got a big week coming up outside of

[10:53] everything that's happening. Visa v

[10:55] Charlie. We got the Fed meeting. They're

[10:59] talking about cutting by 25 basis

[11:00] points. Hey. Hey, maybe we'll get 50

[11:02] basis points. We shall see. Lots going

[11:04] on on the economic front, on the

[11:05] political front. A lot going on, of

[11:08] course, still with Charlie and keeping

[11:10] his memory alive. So, thank you for

[11:12] being here. Thank you for what you do.

[11:14] Please make sure you give it a thumbs

[11:15] up. Make a comment. If you watch this

[11:18] after the fact, do know that I look at

[11:20] those comments. And yes, amen indeed to

[11:22] all of you. Peace of my mind was one of

[11:24] the first to tell me, "Hey, Trish,

[11:25] you're at a million. You're at a

[11:27] million." And it's amazing. I'm excited.

[11:30] I'm thrilled, guys. We've done this

[11:32] together. You have been such a big part

[11:34] of this. such a big part of this. Um,

[11:37] waiting on the Lord. Thank you for your

[11:39] generosity. You know, you say these

[11:41] people are saying, "Okay, they're

[11:43] they're moderate Democrats. I've never

[11:45] heard of moderate Republicans. Have you

[11:47] love watching your show? God bless."

[11:49] It's true, right? Like they're like, you

[11:51] know, if you're a Republican, oh, you're

[11:52] crazy. You're a total crazy person. I'm

[11:55] like, I I'm really not that crazy. I'm

[11:57] really not. I I Is it that I'm getting

[12:00] older?

[12:02] Is Is that it? like where I I you know

[12:05] kind of believe in simple things. No,

[12:08] no, no. It's that the world's gotten

[12:10] crazier and crazier, okay? And the left

[12:12] has gotten more and more extreme. And

[12:13] I'll tell you, they'll keep losing

[12:14] elections. That this is how they're

[12:16] going to play the game. They will keep

[12:19] losing because don't forget this moment

[12:22] in time has actually inspired a lot of

[12:23] people to say, "This is not my party

[12:25] anymore. I'm coming over to the red."

[12:26] You have record numbers of young people

[12:29] registering to vote. This is the Charlie

[12:30] effect, right? As Republicans,

[12:34] there's a sea change going on.

[12:37] This is the turning point for the United

[12:41] States of America and for the world.

[12:43] Don't forget, people from South Korea to

[12:45] the UK were all chanting in unison, we

[12:49] are Charlie Kirk.

[12:52] We are every one of us. Thank you for

[12:55] being here. I'll see you back here live

[12:57] on the Trishan Show again tomorrow.
