Office Depot Refuses to Print Charlie Kirk Memorial Poster, Calls It Propaganda Before Firing Employee

[00:00] Now, upon learning of the incident, we

[00:02] immediately reached out to the customer

[00:04] to address their concerns and seek to

[00:05] fulfill their order to their

[00:07] satisfaction.

[00:07] >> Too late for that. FedEx already did it,

[00:09] punks.

[00:10] >> I don't feel one bit. As Malcolm said,

[00:13] the rooster came home to crow. We have

[00:15] >> No, no. We're going to go under Randy

[00:16] and Kentucky Republican.

[00:18] >> How can you be a teacher at a university

[00:21] and endorse assassinations at

[00:23] universities and still expect a job and

[00:25] call yourself probably like a public

[00:27] servant? Office Max, Office Depot, not

[00:30] having a good time. You can see this

[00:32] post came out from an attorney called

[00:34] Matthew S. Deperno, Esquire, and he's

[00:37] referencing a very troubling incident in

[00:39] which individuals who are about to

[00:41] attend a Charlie Kirk vigil to honor his

[00:44] memory and pray for him and his family

[00:46] and everybody impacted were asking that

[00:49] a poster be printed that they could pass

[00:51] out. And what happened is Office Max and

[00:54] Office Depot and these two individuals

[00:56] who we're going to watch act like

[00:58] monsters in a minute refused to print

[01:00] the job. And you might be saying, "What

[01:02] kind of poster was it? Was it something

[01:05] offensive, Rob?" No, of course not.

[01:07] We're not the left. This was the poster.

[01:08] Office Depot has now turned off their

[01:10] comments on all this. They refused to

[01:12] print this poster. That's it. The

[01:13] legendary Charlie Kirk. That's the

[01:16] poster. Okay. Now, they're going to call

[01:17] that political propaganda cuz they're

[01:19] whack out individuals. But here is the

[01:22] exchange. The post came, he said, from

[01:24] an attorney who says, "All right, we're

[01:26] just flagging this for everybody." Today

[01:27] at 2:24 p.m., the Kalamazoo County

[01:30] Republican Party placed an order for a

[01:33] poster of a Charlie Kirk for a visual

[01:35] tonight. At 5:30 over there at Office

[01:38] Depot, Barrel, the print supervisor, the

[01:41] guy on the left,

[01:44] called and said that they are refusing

[01:46] to print the poster because it is

[01:47] propaganda. Hey, Office Depot, Office

[01:50] Max. Do you think this is acceptable?

[01:51] So, it's hilarious. So, he called him

[01:53] the guy on the left. The guy probably

[01:55] thinks he's woman. He probably thinks

[01:57] he's Barrel. You might think Barl is

[01:59] this woman over here. It's not. It's the

[02:01] guy on the left who calls himself Barl,

[02:03] which I'm pretty sure is a female name,

[02:04] but we went to FedEx instead. Okay,

[02:06] shout out to FedEx. They apologize. This

[02:08] happened to us from these maniacs and

[02:10] they printed the poster for free. So,

[02:12] shout out to FedEx for doing that. And

[02:14] they even paid for it. It looks like

[02:16] here they spent $56. They just wanted a

[02:18] bunch of these posters printed out and

[02:20] when they went in there, this is what

[02:22] happened. Thank you. So, we came in for

[02:24] an order earlier for the print a poster

[02:26] for a vigil tonight for somebody that

[02:28] passed.

[02:29] >> It's not Oh,

[02:30] >> it's propaganda. I'm sorry. We don't fit

[02:32] that here.

[02:33] >> All righty. So, what's your name?

[02:34] >> I'm Carol. I'm print supervisor. Thank

[02:36] you.

[02:36] >> I'm one of the managers.

[02:37] >> Yes.

[02:38] >> So, unfortunately,

[02:40] >> so they say they don't print political

[02:42] propaganda. So, this is somebody that

[02:43] passed away a couple years ago.

[02:45] >> That's political propaganda.

[02:46] Unfortunately, I'm sorry. So, this is

[02:47] for a prayer tonight for a prayer vigil.

[02:49] >> Mhm. It's still propaganda,

[02:50] unfortunately.

[02:51] >> What makes it propaganda?

[02:52] >> Because he's a political figure and I

[02:55] don't have to. Yeah.

[02:57] >> Our general manager is going to be in on

[02:58] Monday. If you further on the subject,

[03:01] you're welcome to.

[03:02] >> All right. So, they just sat there and

[03:05] said, "It's propaganda and we're not

[03:07] going to print anything for you people.

[03:09] So, get out of my store." Okay. Well,

[03:11] that's Office Max. And now it's being

[03:13] called out on the interwebs by an

[03:14] attorney. And what has happened in

[03:17] response to that little video is Office

[03:18] Max came out and posted this. They said,

[03:21] "We are deeply concerned by the incident

[03:23] that occurred in Michigan. The behavior

[03:25] displayed by our associate is completely

[03:27] unacceptable and insensitive, violates

[03:30] our company policies, and does not

[03:31] reflect the values that we uphold at

[03:34] Office Depot. We sincerely apologize to

[03:37] the customer affected and to our

[03:38] community for this regrettable situation

[03:41] and what has happened." Now, upon

[03:42] learning of the incident, we immediately

[03:44] reached out to the customer to address

[03:46] their concerns and seek to fulfill their

[03:48] order to their satisfaction. Too late

[03:50] for that. FedEx already did it, punks.

[03:52] We also launched an immediate internal

[03:54] review and as a result, the associate

[03:56] the associate involved is no longer with

[03:59] the organization. Which associate? Cuz

[04:01] it should be all three of them who were

[04:03] there in that video. The associate is no

[04:06] longer involved. Not good enough. We are

[04:08] committed to reinforcing training with

[04:10] all team members to ensure our standards

[04:12] of respect, integrity, and customer

[04:14] service are upheld at every location.

[04:16] Our customers and communities deserve

[04:18] nothing less. All right, we'll see if

[04:20] anybody goes over there to that crap

[04:21] store cuz FedEx is getting all of our

[04:23] business now. So, we also had that. Now,

[04:25] we had some more reaction to a lot of

[04:27] this and Nancy Mace is posting about

[04:30] these maniacs. These maniacs are not

[04:32] just filled in Office Depot or anywhere.

[04:34] You see them everywhere. They're in fire

[04:35] departments. They're in universities.

[04:37] They're in elementary schools. They're

[04:39] in the Secret Service saying that people

[04:41] should be shot and politically

[04:42] assassinated. They're nuts. Now, Nancy

[04:44] Mace is also getting a bunch of

[04:46] threatening phone calls after today. And

[04:48] we're not going to listen to this cuz

[04:49] this dude is dropping fbombs all over

[04:51] the place in very bad language. But here

[04:53] is what the voicemail said to Nancy

[04:55] Mace. You dumb, you should eliminate

[04:57] yourself. You're a hypocritical lying

[04:59] old sacka. And the real lunatic is

[05:01] whoever does your hair. Nancy going off

[05:03] and makeup. Mama Nancy Mace, you're an

[05:05] effing disgusting human being. You're

[05:07] effing disgusting. You effing B. Hey C,

[05:09] I hope you choke on a bag of D's and

[05:12] thanks dumb B. It's me again. I'm going

[05:14] to keep leaving messages, too, because

[05:15] guess what? You have listened to me. I

[05:17] hope you eliminate yourself. Admission.

[05:19] I'm just trying to harass you at this

[05:20] point. B. Admission. Admission. And I

[05:22] hope you choke on a thing is kind of

[05:24] like I think you can interpret that as a

[05:25] threat. And maybe not a direct threat,

[05:27] but certainly threatening and

[05:29] intimidating. And many states have

[05:30] statutes on that. can't call and harass

[05:32] and threaten and intimidate people,

[05:34] which is clearly what that is. So,

[05:35] that's another felon lunatic who's

[05:37] calling in threatening Congress people.

[05:39] Hopefully, the officials are looking

[05:40] into that one. I'm sure they will. I

[05:41] mean, they can back trace that stuff

[05:42] pretty well. But, we also see they're

[05:44] not backing off. Okay, just to be clear

[05:46] about this. A lot of people like Mike

[05:48] Johnson and Katie Britt and a bunch of

[05:50] people came out and said, "Let's just

[05:51] calm down, calm the temperature down."

[05:53] Okay, well, they haven't done that. Not

[05:55] even a little bit. In fact, The Nation

[05:56] wrote this disgusting article which is

[05:58] getting a bunch of attention here just

[05:59] because of how awful it is. And they're

[06:01] not letting up. They're not trying to

[06:03] tone down the rhetoric at all. They're

[06:05] doubling down. And we knew they would.

[06:07] Charlie Kirk, they wrote, was an

[06:09] unrepentant, racist, homophobe,

[06:11] transphobe, misogynist. Label, label,

[06:13] label, label. First of all, their

[06:15] tactics haven't even improved at all.

[06:16] Nobody cares about these stupid labels,

[06:18] right? We're going to continue to speak

[06:19] out the truth. You can call us whatever

[06:21] you want. You can shoot our people in

[06:23] the neck. But Charlie Kirk's wife,

[06:25] Erica, is confirming it's not going to

[06:27] stop her or anyone. Okay? We're going to

[06:29] march on against your murderous lunacy

[06:31] because we're not going to just bend a

[06:33] knee to you and just say, "I guess we'll

[06:34] just change our opinion and love

[06:35] transgender people cuz you're shooting

[06:37] our people in the neck." But they're not

[06:38] backing down, okay? They're not backing

[06:40] off of this. This is an article that is

[06:42] basically supporting this. He's

[06:43] unrepentant and there's no other way

[06:46] really to think about it. If you read

[06:47] the article, it's pretty horrific, but

[06:48] you can see here his legacy deserves no

[06:50] morning. And they're very being careful.

[06:52] You know, his legacy deserves no

[06:53] morning. Not Charlie Kirk deserve no

[06:54] morning. Charlie Kirk's legacy deserve

[06:56] no more. was not as bad, but if you read

[06:58] the article, it's just a horrific piece.

[06:59] And the lady who wrote it is called

[07:01] Elizabeth Spears. So, she writes a

[07:03] disgusting article. She says, "It is

[07:04] rude because manners are more important,

[07:07] but there's no requirement. We have to

[07:08] whitewash this guy." And so, she's just

[07:09] coming down on him, right? And you're

[07:10] like, "All right, cool. Thanks for

[07:12] confirming it. There's not going to be,

[07:13] you know, mutual disarmament." We never

[07:15] thought there was ever. We came out, you

[07:17] know, the day of and were expressing how

[07:18] kind of idiotic it was for everybody to

[07:20] be spreading around all the platitudes

[07:22] everywhere after we just watched one of

[07:23] our own get shot in the neck. Now, here

[07:25] was another one. Even C-SPAN had to hang

[07:27] up on this dude because he was such a

[07:29] monster and listen to them just calling

[07:30] in right publicly explaining what they

[07:32] think. But C-SPAN had to nuke this dude.

[07:34] >> Aubrey in Louisiana, Democratic caller.

[07:37] It's your turn, Aubrey.

[07:38] >> Yes, ma'am. First of all, I want to

[07:40] really just emphasize that they need to

[07:42] pull the curtain behind this young man

[07:43] and see what his extreme views was, what

[07:46] his perception of African-American

[07:49] women, the comments he had made even

[07:50] about African-American men, about the

[07:52] family. This man was a David Duke in a

[07:55] suit. He had racist, extremist,

[07:58] unacceptable views towards black and

[08:00] others other ethnicity. So I don't feel

[08:03] one bit. As a Malcolm said, the rooster

[08:06] came home to crow. We have no Randy in

[08:09] Kentucky Republican.

[08:10] >> Yeah, we're going to go to a Republican,

[08:12] not a psycho Democrat who's calling in

[08:14] saying things like that. So shout out to

[08:16] that lady for nuking that caller. But

[08:17] that's who they are. And it's not just

[08:19] us seeing this stuff. Okay, our friend

[08:21] Tim Pool over there was close with

[08:23] Charlie and has a big platform and has

[08:25] been on the receiving end of a lot of

[08:26] threats and bomb squads at his office

[08:28] and all sorts of stuff. Insane for a

[08:30] long time. Tim P says this, "I am pained

[08:33] by the post of former liberal friends on

[08:36] Instagram justifying and celebrating

[08:38] Charlie's death and it's everywhere." I

[08:40] didn't want to believe it. I thought

[08:41] they would be reasonable. I am shocked

[08:43] at my own naive from Tim Pool. Yeah. And

[08:45] I'm not sure that it really is, you

[08:47] know, that naive. Like they've done a

[08:48] very good job of hiding this from

[08:50] everybody. And I think we're even

[08:52] shocked here at the scope and the scale

[08:54] of their blood lust coming out of their

[08:56] wherever. And it was, you know,

[08:57] engineered to hide it from us. But now

[08:59] the truth is coming out and it is

[09:01] shocking. I mean, it is really

[09:02] everywhere. So that's what Tim P's

[09:03] seeing. And you're like, well, Tim P's

[09:05] kind of on the right, so you know, maybe

[09:06] he's just being dramatic about it. What

[09:08] about Piers Morgan? Piers Morgan, I

[09:09] wouldn't say, is a rabid right-winger.

[09:11] Seen him debate Tucker Carlson, take the

[09:13] opposite side on basically everything.

[09:14] But Pierce said this from the UK. I am

[09:16] so shocked by the huge quantity of

[09:18] social media post and clips of woke left

[09:21] fanatics gleefully celebrating Charlie

[09:24] Kirk's murder. It's so brazen. It's so

[09:27] dehumanized. So disgusting. What the f

[09:30] is wrong with these people? Elon Musk is

[09:32] right. Wokeism is an insidious virus.

[09:35] Yeah, that's exactly right. So Piers is

[09:37] waking up and seeing what the hell's

[09:38] going on. And even Mark Halperin had a

[09:41] couple comments about this. He said,

[09:43] "Mark Halprin, you know who he is. He

[09:45] has been around in the media forever,

[09:47] written books. Nobody would call him a

[09:49] rabid right-winger. He's not." And here

[09:51] is what he said. For the first day, I

[09:54] refused to believe that anyone was

[09:55] actually going on social media to

[09:57] celebrate Charlie's murder. Then I

[09:59] realized there was in fact some of it,

[10:00] but I assumed it was a very small

[10:02] amount. Now I see how naive I was. What

[10:04] is wrong with someone who would do that?

[10:06] Mark Halpin, they're everywhere, man.

[10:08] People don't want to believe it. Oh,

[10:10] come on. You're just exaggerating. It's

[10:12] everywhere. These are our neighbors,

[10:13] many of them, and they want

[10:15] conservatives dead because they think

[10:16] that they're fascist Nazis. They've been

[10:18] brainwashed to think that political

[10:19] assassinations are okay. Even Mark

[10:21] Halperin is feeling it. Now, Mark also

[10:22] was explaining this. He watches the

[10:24] media. Basically, he's a media, you

[10:26] know, commentator, I would say. He

[10:27] comments like kind of how the media is

[10:28] handling things, what the narratives

[10:29] are, what the politics are. And

[10:31] yesterday when Erica Kirk was speaking,

[10:33] CNN and MSNBC didn't even cover it live.

[10:37] He said, "It takes a lot to surprise me,

[10:39] but this is shocking. Even the BBC is

[10:41] taking it live because CNN and MSNBC are

[10:44] just pure propaganda and they know what

[10:46] they have done. They don't want to be

[10:47] involved in it at all. They caused the

[10:49] accident and they're like, "Wow, what's

[10:51] going on over here? Over here." Cuz they

[10:53] don't want to be a part of any of it.

[10:55] So, they're just turning away cuz

[10:56] they're cowards and they know that. So,

[10:59] Mark Halperin was commenting about this

[11:01] and this guy was also out in followup.

[11:04] We listened to him yesterday explain

[11:07] what he was thinking about. And here's

[11:08] just a little bit of this. Right. So he

[11:10] is sitting here with BLM gay flags all

[11:13] over the place, whatever these other

[11:14] flags are. And he's responding to his

[11:17] final talk with Charlie.

[11:18] >> It does sometimes feel like I am one of

[11:21] the few, definitely not the only, but

[11:23] certainly maybe a minority of the left

[11:25] that really cares still about her family

[11:27] or America. I don't know.

[11:28] >> Yeah. He was talking to Charlie and he

[11:30] says, "I'm basically the only one or a

[11:32] small minority on the left who thinks

[11:34] that this is wrong with all the flags in

[11:37] the background." Like, what have you

[11:38] done, man? There's still time to wake up

[11:40] and exit that disgusting death cult.

[11:42] Greg Abbott, what's up? The Texas

[11:44] Education Agency is now looking into

[11:46] their teachers who have posted or shared

[11:49] reprehensible or inappropriate conduct

[11:51] on their platforms because it's a

[11:53] violation of the policy. DEA is made

[11:56] aware of some public school educators

[11:58] who have posted or shared reprehensible

[12:00] conduct on the internet after Charlie

[12:02] Kirk was assassinated. These educators

[12:04] in these comments do not reflect the

[12:05] vast majority of Texan teachers. And so

[12:07] in response to these posts, Abbott says

[12:09] this person, Mike Morath, Commissioner

[12:11] of Education, says, "I'm referring all

[12:12] documentation of educators that have

[12:14] proliferated such vile content to the

[12:17] investigations division. Such posts

[12:19] would constitute a violation of the

[12:21] educator's code of ethics." like

[12:22] probably in there like shouldn't endorse

[12:25] murder probably. I don't know if it's

[12:26] officially in there, but I'm sure

[12:27] there's a blanket policy that covers

[12:29] that. Such posts could constitute a

[12:31] violation of their code of ethics and

[12:33] each instance will be thoroughly

[12:34] reviewed. They'll get plenty of process

[12:35] before their nuke. While the exercise of

[12:37] free speech is a fundamental right we

[12:39] are all blessed to share. It does not

[12:41] give cart blanch authority to celebrate

[12:43] and so violence against those that share

[12:44] differing beliefs and perspectives. Kirk

[12:46] was a father and a husband and

[12:48] tragically his children no longer have

[12:50] their father and his wife no longer has

[12:52] her spouse. As a father and husband

[12:54] myself and as someone devoted to the

[12:55] education of children, it's

[12:56] heartbreaking. If you were made aware of

[12:58] additional instances of this, please

[12:59] report it immediately. Shout out to

[13:01] Mike. I commend the swift action taken

[13:02] by the leadership of the districts to

[13:04] employ these educators. Respect is a

[13:05] core tenant to what we must teach and we

[13:07] can ensure these values are reflected

[13:09] throughout Texan schools. So Mike Morath

[13:12] over from Texas. Even Lindsey Graham's

[13:14] getting in on this one. Free speech

[13:16] doesn't prevent you from being fired if

[13:18] you're stupid enough to have poor

[13:19] judgment as they are. The despicable and

[13:21] inappropriate classless statements about

[13:23] a tragic event should not diminish great

[13:25] universities like Clemson and I am so

[13:27] over the universities to be honest with

[13:29] you. I went to a university whatever

[13:31] that is and they are just little

[13:33] hellscapes. However, in my opinion,

[13:35] those who made these despicable,

[13:37] inappropriate and classless statements

[13:38] should be good candidates for

[13:40] termination by the public university.

[13:42] How can you be a teacher at a university

[13:44] and endorse assassinations at

[13:47] universities and still expect a job and

[13:49] call yourself probably like a public

[13:50] servant or something? They're psychotic

[13:53] and they cannot be allowed to teach

[13:55] students and be expecting to foster a

[13:58] safe, open, free environment cuz they're

[14:01] not at all. Another one from Mark. An

[14:02] email I just got from a very smart

[14:04] person who is now smarter unfortunately

[14:07] because of the assassination of Charlie

[14:08] Kirk. Another one from Mark. He's waking

[14:10] up hard today. I used to think of Trump

[14:12] derangement syndrome, someone emailed

[14:14] him, as just people losing their minds

[14:15] about him specifically and kneejerk

[14:18] hating everything he said or did or

[14:20] enacted. But I now realize that Trump

[14:22] derangement syndrome has made people

[14:24] lose their ability to tell the

[14:26] difference between right and wrong.

[14:27] Yeah. And I can understand, you know,

[14:28] being politically activated and

[14:31] politically enraged. We get here

[14:33] politically enraged all the time. It's

[14:34] okay to have instinctive reactions when

[14:36] you watch someone's neck explode on the

[14:38] screen because it's like you're there.

[14:40] And if you don't have, you know, a

[14:41] reaction to that, then what kind of a

[14:43] person are you? But there's a line to be

[14:45] crossed. You can have feelings, but if

[14:47] you turn those feelings into political

[14:48] violence rather than expressing using

[14:50] your words, then you've now crossed the

[14:52] threshold between somebody who's

[14:53] actively engaged in having a civic

[14:55] conversation now into a murderer. And if

[14:57] you're now aligning with those

[14:58] murderers, you are causing very serious

[15:01] concerns to those people around you. And

[15:03] that's what we're all realizing. So,

[15:04] while many people have emotions and you

[15:06] might even, you know, say, well, if

[15:07] you're on the left, oh, well, maybe you

[15:09] do think that they're killing trans or

[15:10] whatever. You might have those opinions.

[15:12] You might feel that strongly. Doesn't

[15:13] give you the right to murder anybody.

[15:15] And that's where they're crossing this

[15:16] threshold.
