The Real Reason Charlie Kirk Was Killed

[00:00] Hey folks, Gary here with Paramount and

[00:01] I hope everybody out there is having a

[00:02] wonderful Wednesday. Today is October

[00:04] 1st. Speaking of which, tonight at 8:00

[00:07] PM Eastern time, we'll be having our

[00:09] live Dangerous Liberty podcast. We're

[00:11] going to be talking about new

[00:12] developments in the Charlie Kirk

[00:13] investigation uh and many different

[00:15] aspects. And the reason that we have

[00:17] these live is so that you can jump in on

[00:18] the conversation. We want to hear from

[00:20] you. We want to hear your questions.

[00:21] We're going to answer those and your

[00:23] comments. And uh I think it's been very

[00:25] beneficial to us to hear from the

[00:28] perspective of many viewers uh pointing

[00:30] us in different directions and uh

[00:32] hopefully we've been a benefit to the

[00:34] people that are uh talking through some

[00:36] of these things that we're kind of all

[00:39] looking at dealing with and everything

[00:41] in between. Uh, but I wanted to make

[00:43] this video, folks. Um, I've been

[00:45] thinking a lot about different aspects

[00:48] of this entire tragic event.

[00:52] And I know there's a lot of people out

[00:54] there and I've been engaged in this as

[00:55] well trying to figure out how to and and

[00:58] even, you know, there's a debate out

[01:00] there on the mechanism of what took

[01:03] place and probably most importantly,

[01:06] who's behind it. you know, is this

[01:07] something that is just a product of

[01:11] someone being radicalized through, you

[01:13] know, political ideology or is there

[01:16] much larger things at play here? And I

[01:18] think all of those those are real

[01:19] possibilities whether we're talking

[01:21] about the US government, Israel,

[01:23] u corporate interests. There's a lot of

[01:26] different potential motives that can be

[01:28] easily assigned and I understand

[01:31] people's confusion. Now, I do think it's

[01:33] extremely important that we find the

[01:34] truth behind Charlie Kirk's murder.

[01:38] Every aspect of it. What happened? Who's

[01:40] responsible? Uh was there more people uh

[01:44] involved? Uh was there larger state

[01:47] sponsored elements involved? Corporate,

[01:50] all those things. We need to find that

[01:51] truth. There's no doubt about it. But

[01:53] regardless of what we find out, I think

[01:57] ultimately Charlie Kirk's assassination

[01:59] is just a symptom of a much larger,

[02:03] darker problem that we have here in the

[02:05] United States. I was just watching this

[02:07] episode of Joe Rogan and some of the

[02:08] things that he said and things that were

[02:10] discussed really crystallized this in my

[02:12] mind and I want to share them with you.

[02:14] >> Well, the Charlie Kirk thing opened up

[02:15] my eyes. Yeah, I never expected so many

[02:18] people would celebrate that man's

[02:20] murder.

[02:21] >> That is evil. That's

[02:23] >> bizarre. Just bizarre. Like normal

[02:25] people that I think think they're good

[02:27] people and they think they genuinely

[02:30] think that guy was a bad guy. And I

[02:32] don't think they're right. And I think

[02:34] they were indoctrinated. And I don't

[02:35] agree with everything that Charlie Kirk

[02:37] said or did.

[02:38] >> I don't care if he was a bad guy or not.

[02:40] >> He's not a bad guy.

[02:41] >> I don't want to see him I don't want to

[02:42] see anybody die.

[02:43] >> First of all, he's getting your age,

[02:44] right? He's a young guy, right? and he

[02:48] you would go around to college campuses

[02:50] and have arguments with people or have

[02:52] discussions with people, have debates

[02:53] with people. The fact that people were

[02:55] cheering when he died, normal people,

[02:58] housewives, moms, like people working at

[03:01] banks, people working at various

[03:03] industries, celebrating a man getting

[03:06] shot in front of his kids

[03:08] >> in front of the whole world. What is

[03:10] wrong with us?

[03:11] >> Yeah, that's that's evil. Um,

[03:13] >> now that is one thing that really

[03:15] disturbed me and quite frankly I had a

[03:17] huge emotional response to is right

[03:19] after the death of Charlie Kirk, we had

[03:21] a lot of people out there celebrating.

[03:22] It is shocking to me that we've gotten

[03:24] to a point that we as Americans and I'm

[03:27] saying the right and the left. We have

[03:29] otherred people

[03:31] to the point that we no longer have any

[03:34] human empathy for one another. And I

[03:37] definitely see this more on the left

[03:38] right now. I'm not saying that the

[03:39] right's not guilty of it. I want to talk

[03:41] more about that. But let's finish this

[03:43] out.

[03:43] >> I think social media has people

[03:44] completely twisted. And I think a lot of

[03:47] what has people completely twisted is

[03:49] not even organic. I think it's all on

[03:51] purpose that you're being manipulated by

[03:53] foreign governments by bot farms and by

[03:57] various elements either in our

[03:59] government or other governments and they

[04:01] do it for their own agenda, for their

[04:04] own ends. And it's dark.

[04:06] >> This is exactly right. I don't think we

[04:08] really understand just how much we are

[04:10] being manipulated and divided in this

[04:12] country by with and through social

[04:14] media. I think where it's especially

[04:15] underestimated is by people of my

[04:17] generation, right? People that grew up

[04:20] without social media and now they're

[04:22] adults. They have kids and so most of

[04:25] who they are was already kind of baked

[04:29] in the cake before they got into social

[04:31] media. Now, don't get me wrong, those

[04:33] people are definitely we're being we're

[04:34] all being changed by what we see, what

[04:38] we hear on social media. The current

[04:39] population here in the Western world,

[04:41] not just the United States, of 25 and

[04:43] younger, I think the trajectory of who

[04:47] they would be as people has been

[04:49] completely altered and completely

[04:51] changed and not for the better because

[04:54] of their constant exposure to social

[04:56] media.

[04:57] >> You you can't love death. You can't love

[04:59] somebody getting killed,

[05:00] >> right? That's just there's the line

[05:01] right there. There's evil and good right

[05:03] there.

[05:03] >> Yeah. You know, I think that's an

[05:04] excellent point right there. You know,

[05:06] right or wrong, good or evil can

[05:07] definitely be subjective. But I think

[05:10] when you find yourself celebrating the

[05:13] death of a person because you disagree

[05:16] with them politically, that's a pretty

[05:19] good place to draw a line and do a

[05:20] little self assessment and say, "Hey,

[05:22] you know what? That is evil." And if

[05:25] that is you or that is me, like we need

[05:27] to self assess and be like, hey,

[05:29] something is not right here. And I

[05:31] probably have been deceived and or gas

[05:34] lit. And the amount of deception that

[05:37] has been taking place and the

[05:38] mischaracterization

[05:40] of Charlie Kirk even after his death has

[05:43] been mindboggling to me. And that

[05:44] deception is exactly why otherwise

[05:47] normal people are doing horrific things

[05:50] like celebrating his death. And this is

[05:53] a great example of it right here.

[05:54] >> Be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A

[05:58] man who believed that the Civil Rights

[06:00] Act that granted black Americans the

[06:02] right to vote was a mistake. His

[06:05] rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant,

[06:08] uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise

[06:12] millions.

[06:12] >> If you're going to call someone else's

[06:14] rhetoric ignorant, shouldn't you make

[06:16] sure your rhetoric isn't ignorant? The

[06:19] Civil Rights Act didn't give black

[06:21] Americans the right to vote. The 15th

[06:23] Amendment did that a century earlier.

[06:26] Then the Voting Rights Act in 1965

[06:29] removed the barriers that states were

[06:31] still using to block black people. But

[06:33] here's the deeper problem. AOC is

[06:36] attacking a straw man. Straw manning is

[06:38] when you twist someone's argument into a

[06:40] weaker version, then attack that instead

[06:43] of what they actually said. It's a

[06:45] logical fallacy and it's what caused

[06:47] people to think Charlie Kirk is a

[06:49] racist. Here was his actual point.

[06:52] >> You said the Civil Rights Act was a

[06:53] mistake. What did you mean by that?

[06:55] >> Yeah. So, the parts of Civil Rights Act

[06:56] were great, but the way it's now being

[06:58] implemented to force men and female

[07:00] bathrooms to push forward of the trans

[07:02] agenda. The intent of the Civil Rights

[07:04] Act is way beyond what it was originally

[07:06] authored for.

[07:06] >> But the intent specifically originally

[07:08] was to

[07:09] >> Well, that's So, the intent and the law

[07:11] are two different things. So the intent

[07:13] was noble, which was to say that no

[07:15] American can be not allowed into a place

[07:17] of business based on the color of their

[07:18] skin or their ethnic heritage. Totally

[07:20] agreement with that. That's not what the

[07:21] law only did. It created a massive

[07:23] anti-racist DEI army that then gave us

[07:25] affirmative action.

[07:26] >> I could do this all day because Charlie

[07:29] made this argument many times. Charlie

[07:32] supported the Civil Right Act's

[07:33] intention to protect black Americans

[07:36] from discrimination. His argument was

[07:38] that the law left loopholes which are

[07:41] now being twisted to justify men and

[07:44] women's sports or racial discrimination

[07:47] in college admissions. AOC didn't just

[07:49] push this straw man once. She repeated

[07:52] it in emails. She pushed it on social

[07:55] media. You can disagree with Charlie

[07:58] without misrepresenting the past. Lies

[08:01] got him killed. And if this doesn't

[08:04] stop, he won't be the last.

[08:07] >> All right, so that's just one example of

[08:09] intentional deception and intentional

[08:11] mischaracterization of Charlie Kirk to

[08:14] gaslight people into believing something

[08:15] that's not true. Here is another

[08:17] example. And this is a video that I

[08:19] started seeing being kind of passed

[08:22] around social media right after he was

[08:24] killed. And most of these most of these

[08:27] videos were titled something like this

[08:29] is who Charlie Kirk really was as he

[08:31] talks to an Asian woman in the crowd.

[08:34] And I found this clip especially

[08:36] reprehensible because I watched this

[08:38] debate in this discussion and I knew

[08:40] exactly who he was talking to in the

[08:42] crowd. But I want you to watch this with

[08:44] the mind of like a lot of these clips

[08:46] were passed around. He's talking to an

[08:48] Asian woman in the crowd because that's

[08:51] how this was represented. willingly.

[08:53] >> You brought it up in context. Why don't

[08:55] you live like a socialist? Go live like

[08:56] a socialist.

[08:57] >> Larger. The point is larger than that,

[08:59] Charlie.

[08:59] >> I live like a capitalist every single

[09:01] day. Chank. I live as a capitalist.

[09:03] Okay. I live when I

[09:05] >> know.

[09:06] >> What do I do? I get charity every single

[09:08] year.

[09:09] >> So, in those short clips being passed

[09:11] around social media, this is all you

[09:13] see. This is where it ends. And they

[09:16] they say, "Look, he's calling this woman

[09:18] a chink." So they intentionally

[09:22] mischaracterize number one that this

[09:23] person is Asian and they also kind of

[09:25] throw in there that this is a woman. So

[09:27] it it feels especially reprehensible to

[09:30] everybody watching this. But let's play

[09:31] the next 10 seconds of this so we can

[09:33] see what really happened.

[09:34] >> Hold on.

[09:37] >> Come on. Let's go.

[09:39] >> So this is who he's actually talking to.

[09:40] This is not an Asian woman at all. This

[09:44] is a political pundit that is heckling

[09:46] him from the crowd. And who is this

[09:48] person? Well, that's a great question

[09:50] and he will answer it for himself.

[09:52] >> But they're asking, "How do I pronounce

[09:54] my name?" I'm glad you asked. I want to

[09:57] put this to bed once and for all. And

[09:59] it's really hard and if you get it

[10:01] wrong, I don't blame you. How are you

[10:03] supposed to know? So that's why I'm

[10:04] telling you. So the first name is Jenk.

[10:06] It's spelled C E N K. But the C in

[10:09] Turkish is pronounced like a J, like

[10:11] Jenk, like short for Jenkins. Okay.

[10:15] Jenk. Second name, surname is Uger. U Y

[10:19] guru R. Like you.

[10:23] >> So, if you're not familiar with who this

[10:24] gentleman is, his name is Jenkuger, and

[10:27] he is a well-known Democrat pundit, uh,

[10:31] liberal pundant, whatever you'd like to

[10:32] title him, uh, he's also associated with

[10:35] the Young Turks along with many other

[10:37] podcasts. He's and he was the one

[10:39] heckling Charlie Kirk from the audience.

[10:43] But that was intentionally turned around

[10:44] and mischaracterized to deceive people,

[10:47] to gaslight people, to try to say he was

[10:49] saying that Charlie was saying and

[10:52] that he was actually referring to a

[10:55] Asian female in the audience. That is

[10:57] not true. It's not what happened. And

[10:59] anyone pushing that should be ashamed.

[11:01] And if you believe that, again, I hope

[11:03] that you're a little bit more discerning

[11:04] because this is not just happening on

[11:06] the left. This is obviously happening

[11:08] just as much on the right as well. And

[11:11] we as Americans need to come together

[11:12] and realize that and that's what this

[11:14] discussion is really about is the fact

[11:16] that we have been being divided as a

[11:20] country for a really long time. And

[11:23] while I was extremely angry after the

[11:25] murder of Charlie Kirk and I said a

[11:28] couple different things even on our

[11:30] content like this is a turning point.

[11:33] We're done. We're done playing nice. The

[11:35] left has definitely been using language

[11:37] to describe people on the right as

[11:40] existential threats by the terms of

[11:43] Hitler, Nazi, racist, all of these

[11:46] things. And that along with an entire

[11:48] generation being indoctrinated

[11:51] and in their entire personality change

[11:53] by the exposure to social media is a

[11:56] really bad recipe. And the same thing

[11:58] goes for the right. And my point behind

[12:00] this video is the people on the left and

[12:02] the people on the right, we both see

[12:04] each other as existential threats. But

[12:06] we've been tricked because that is not

[12:08] the existential threat. We have been

[12:10] divided. And the forces that are trying

[12:13] to convince us that the other side is

[12:16] the threat. That is the real threat,

[12:18] folks. The only reason to divide people,

[12:21] to divide a people, the American people

[12:23] or any people, is to conquer them. And

[12:26] it's working because where we're going

[12:29] is a really bad place. And Charlie

[12:32] Kirk's assassination and murder is just

[12:34] a symptom of a much larger, more fatal

[12:38] problem to come down the road because we

[12:41] are headed in that direction. Whether

[12:42] you know there's all this talk about a

[12:44] national divorce, civil war, everything

[12:46] else, we have got to change the way that

[12:50] we view our fellow Americans that we

[12:52] disagree with ideologically. And

[12:54] ironically, the antidote for that is

[12:56] exactly the thing that Charlie Kirk

[12:58] pushed for, and that is freedom of

[13:00] speech, freedom of expression. We've got

[13:03] to get away from the idea that we need

[13:04] to suppress speech that we disagree

[13:06] with. And right now, and this has

[13:08] definitely been an issue on the right as

[13:10] much as been the left, but right now,

[13:12] the left is very determined to suppress

[13:15] and label certain speech on the right.

[13:17] And we we can't tolerate that as

[13:20] Americans, period. you know, the

[13:21] suppression of speech and even the

[13:23] labeling of certain speech, you know,

[13:25] subjectively calling it hate speech or

[13:27] whatever you want to label it. Uh, you

[13:29] know, all of that comes from an

[13:30] insecurity that your ideas lack the

[13:32] compelling merit to overcome the ones

[13:35] that you oppose. That's what it is. And

[13:38] we've seen this throughout history. In

[13:40] the past, this type of opposition speech

[13:42] has been labeled by religious

[13:43] organizations as heresy. And for that,

[13:45] you were imprisoned. You were tortured.

[13:47] You were burnt at the stake. Monarchies

[13:49] labeled ideas like democracy and

[13:51] equality as sedition and treason for

[13:55] which again you were imprisoned, you

[13:57] were tor to tortured and you were killed

[13:59] in the most horrific ways. But it didn't

[14:02] stop there. At that point even your

[14:04] generations to come of your family were

[14:06] also labeled and were not allowed to

[14:08] participate in society. Today what we

[14:10] see is people being silenced, being

[14:12] shamed, being banned from social media,

[14:14] being debanked, and it's all the same

[14:17] thing. Not only is suppression of all

[14:19] speech unamerican, morally, and

[14:21] ethically wrong, it's never worked. That

[14:24] government or societal suppression is

[14:26] the very thing that guarantees the

[14:29] success of the ideas that they're trying

[14:31] to stop. So again, what I'm looking at

[14:33] is an engineered division in our

[14:36] country. I think it's intentional. I

[14:38] think it's meant to divide us. And I

[14:40] think ultimately it's designed to

[14:41] conquer us both. Left, right, whatever,

[14:44] whatever, whatever division that you

[14:46] want to put us in. And that is another

[14:48] problem that I have with the left is,

[14:50] you know, identity politics. I think I

[14:52] understand

[14:54] just like Charlie Kirk said, I think the

[14:56] idea behind it is noble, but I think the

[14:59] outcome is more division amongst fellow

[15:02] Americans. We've got to quit looking at

[15:04] each other through race, through, you

[15:06] know, politics. Like we can have

[15:09] disagreements and we need to be able to

[15:11] talk those out and and debate it and

[15:14] discuss it and not look at each other as

[15:17] the enemy. We are we are all Americans.

[15:20] You know, there are definitely some

[15:22] elements of the founding of this country

[15:24] that I understand that people don't find

[15:27] very tasteful. But one thing that has

[15:29] made this country great is the the idea

[15:32] of e plurosum out of many one. And

[15:34] that's what we are in this country.

[15:36] We're a melting pot of different races,

[15:37] religions, creeds, politics, but at the

[15:41] end of the day, we're all part of we're

[15:43] all in this together. And we've stopped

[15:46] looking at each other like that. And we

[15:48] started looking at our fellow Americans

[15:50] as enemies. And I think we're on a

[15:53] trajectory to where we will be real

[15:55] enemies and not just a war of words, but

[15:58] an actual war. And I can't think of

[16:00] anything more horrendous than the idea

[16:04] of masses of of fellow Americans trying

[16:07] to kill each other.

[16:09] And we like we got to we got to write

[16:12] the ship. And even though I felt like

[16:16] the death of Charlie Kirk was some sort

[16:18] of catalyst where like, yep, game on,

[16:20] you know, simply based on the motion, I

[16:22] was feeling things and thinking things

[16:27] that I shouldn't, right, that I wouldn't

[16:30] in normal circumstances. So, I don't

[16:32] know if we're going to find out exactly

[16:33] what killed Charlie, who killed Charlie,

[16:35] who was ultimately responsible for it,

[16:37] if the government was involved, if other

[16:38] governments involved.

[16:41] At the end of the day, I think what we

[16:42] need to do is take a look at what

[16:44] Charlie was trying to do, and that was

[16:46] create discourse and respect for one

[16:49] another regardless of our differences.

[16:52] We need to be able to respect each other

[16:54] so that we can talk to each other, that

[16:56] we cannot, you know, project animus upon

[16:58] each other, right? We can't have a

[17:00] nation like that. A house divided

[17:02] against itself cannot stand. And that

[17:04] has never been more true. And

[17:06] unfortunately, this country, for a lot

[17:08] of different reasons, we're more divided

[17:10] than ever. And we got to start looking

[17:12] at each other as fellow countrymen and

[17:15] start respecting each other again. All

[17:17] right, folks. Make sure you join us

[17:18] tonight, 8:00 p.m. Eastern time. Uh, I

[17:21] don't know. I don't know if I'll publish

[17:23] this. Maybe this was just me getting

[17:24] some things off my chest. If I do

[17:26] publish this, I hope it helps you. And,

[17:28] uh, I'm going to commit,

[17:30] and it's against my nature. I'm gonna

[17:33] commit to avoid trying to demonize

[17:36] people that I disagree with. Right. Um I

[17:39] think we all have the best of intentions

[17:41] for this country and we need to see

[17:44] through all the deception, all the

[17:46] manipulation. Anyways, come join us

[17:48] tonight, 8:00 p.m. Eastern time and

[17:49] every Wednesday. And you know, if this

[17:51] was beneficial to you, like, subscribe,

[17:52] all those things. Until next time, stay

[17:54] armed, stay ready. We'll talk to you

[17:56] soon.
