The Sickening Reactions to Charlie Kirk's Murder CANNOT Be Ignored

[00:00] There was a time where unity was greatly

[00:02] needed yesterday and House Democrats

[00:04] wouldn't even allow for a moment of

[00:06] silence for Charlie Kirk. Take a look.

[00:09] >> For what purposes, gentle lady from

[00:10] Colorado rise.

[00:33] Let's let's let's wait a minute. Wait a

[00:36] minute. The house will be in order. The

[00:38] House will be in order.

[00:42] >> The House will be in order.

[00:44] >> That was Representative Lauren Boowbert

[00:46] making that request. And the Democrats

[00:48] couldn't even give Charlie a moment of

[00:51] silence. Uh I want to follow up a little

[00:53] bit more with what we had on yesterday

[00:54] where we talked about MSNBC uh Matthew

[00:57] Dow. They have now fired him thankfully.

[00:59] It looks like there is actual uh action

[01:02] steps being taken now where people are

[01:05] actually being fired uh as they should.

[01:08] Dowed yesterday was going on MSNBC

[01:10] saying, "Oh, it was a possible

[01:12] celebration and the gun just went off.

[01:14] Like this is what the MAGA people uh

[01:16] do." And I can tell you now that the

[01:18] Carolina Panthers have fired one of

[01:20] their employees. The director of

[01:21] communications was posting stuff online.

[01:23] Phoenix Suns writer was fired over these

[01:25] posts that he was putting out there

[01:27] online. Uh, a lot of teachers, a lot of

[01:29] people in the healthc care industry.

[01:31] Matt, there are so many different people

[01:34] uh that are actually being fired today,

[01:37] which

[01:39] it's about time. This has needed to

[01:40] happen for quite some time. You can't

[01:42] just go out there and cheer for the

[01:45] death of a he's Charlie Kirk was a very

[01:48] regular normal person who was just going

[01:50] out there trying to talk to college kids

[01:53] about the other side of the aisle that

[01:56] he had different political views than

[01:57] them and you know what at least now

[02:00] people are actually stepping up to the

[02:01] plate and firing them.

[02:03] >> Yeah. I mean I will say I' I've been

[02:04] heartened by this because this is

[02:06] something that our side has been

[02:08] terrible at. We don't really react or do

[02:10] anything uh in response uh to many many

[02:13] of these terrible instances that

[02:14] occurred over the last 10 years because

[02:16] you know let's face it people on the

[02:18] right are living their life they're not

[02:19] activists but what you see now is real

[02:22] anger and accountability and I'm a fan

[02:25] I'm a fan of that and I think people

[02:27] should be held accountable uh for their

[02:29] words and in this case you know what

[02:32] comes around goes around and you see a

[02:34] lot of people who are just saying no not

[02:36] this time and you see a lot of

[02:37] businesses is and employers frankly uh

[02:40] saying I don't want any part of this and

[02:42] and that you know it's it's been a day

[02:45] right but but that is a change at least

[02:48] initially it looks like one

[02:49] >> and if you are on the blue sky app Chris

[02:52] there are there are a ton of crazies

[02:54] over there I am not on there but they

[02:56] are basically saying who's next uh for

[02:59] all of this some of the names that are

[03:00] out there is JK Rowling Mount Walsh Ben

[03:02] Shapiro lives at Tik Tok Elon Musk uh so

[03:05] there is no shortage of crazies

[03:07] that are out there. And uh

[03:09] unfortunately, this is what we will

[03:12] continue to have to deal with.

[03:15] >> Yeah. Because if Charlie Kirk is someone

[03:17] who you need to shoot because you don't

[03:19] like that he's coming to debate you,

[03:22] then there's so many more people who

[03:23] just weren't there that day or whose

[03:25] name you might maybe didn't know. I

[03:27] mean, that's the only difference. That's

[03:29] the only reason he was targeted. He

[03:30] didn't I mean, he was effective and he

[03:32] was there and he said things I didn't

[03:34] like. There are a lot of people who do

[03:36] that.

[03:37] I mean, a a good friend of mine, I was

[03:39] in his wedding, has been told that by

[03:42] him and his wife that they need to move

[03:45] because their security can't be

[03:46] guaranteed in their nice family

[03:48] neighborhood they live in in Florida, by

[03:50] the way. Um, that they need that people

[03:54] basically need to come into the compound

[03:56] like it's the Godfather,

[03:58] uh, because they're at war. The the

[04:01] threats are real. The copycats are going

[04:03] to happen. And I wrote in my beltway

[04:06] brief today uh that this really is a

[04:10] point where we can decide that we're

[04:12] going to get better or we can decide

[04:14] that we're going to get much worse much

[04:16] more quickly. And it's going to take a

[04:18] serious turn by society, a serious

[04:21] rejection by the American left, by the

[04:23] universities, not just these businesses

[04:26] and these sports teams, but by the

[04:27] university system of this kind of crap

[04:30] in order for this to actually have any

[04:31] kind of impact.

[04:33] When you go out there and say a

[04:34] 31-year-old father

[04:37] and husband and debater needs to be

[04:40] murdered for his words, not for the

[04:43] power, not even for the power he wields,

[04:45] not even for the authority he has, not

[04:48] even for the way he spends his money.

[04:50] It's it's for the words he said that you

[04:52] disagreed with that he was willing to

[04:54] talk to you about. You could have gotten

[04:55] online and debated him. When you say

[04:57] that he needs to be executed for that,

[04:59] it's it's exactly what Jay Leno said.

[05:00] It's a fullon assault, murderous assault

[05:03] on the First Amendment. Anyone who

[05:05] preaches that

[05:07] ought not to be welcomed in the halls of

[05:10] power. Hey, look, I'm not saying like

[05:11] they do on the American left, oh, you

[05:13] can't even be a pizza delivery boy. But

[05:15] hey, geez, get the heck out of here. Why

[05:17] are you teaching students? Why do you

[05:18] have access to children?

[05:20] They got they there needs to be

[05:22] significantly more accountability than

[05:23] there is right now. And funds need to be

[05:25] taken. And all these nonprofits that for

[05:28] the last 5 years have spent time

[05:30] funneling money towards bail funds for

[05:33] riers, towards printing t-shirts that

[05:35] have guns on them with the trans flag

[05:38] that says defend it. Um, and kill people

[05:42] who try to deny your personhood as if

[05:44] not using their pronouns is worthy of

[05:45] being murdered. Or all these people who

[05:49] fund groups that are professional

[05:50] agitators. Well, those funds need to be

[05:52] seized and those boards of directors

[05:54] need to be investigated. These are

[05:56] crimes. You don't need to make new

[05:57] crimes. You don't need to revoke civil

[05:59] rights. You don't need to attack civil

[06:01] liberties. You just need to enforce the

[06:02] laws in the books like we've seen in

[06:04] Washington DC this past month like

[06:06] you've seen like you hopefully someday

[06:08] we'll see in Chicago like you're going

[06:09] to see in more cities hopefully soon.

[06:12] You just need to enforce the laws on the

[06:13] books and say no, you can't be doing

[06:15] this illegal stuff that you've gotten

[06:16] away with for years because it leads to

[06:19] violence.

[06:20] Well, the uh the brief that the article

[06:23] that you wrote is called Why Charlie

[06:24] Kirk's assassination will change us in

[06:26] ways this generation has never seen. I

[06:28] encourage people to go to blazemedia.com

[06:30] and check it out.

[06:31] >> Yeah, everybody needs to read that. It's

[06:33] uh it's great work, Chris, and I'm just

[06:34] glad that we have all made it through

[06:36] without uh shedding some tears today.

[06:38] It's going to be a tough uphill road

[06:40] >> and we will figure out what those next

[06:42] steps are, but that's going to take a

[06:44] few weeks to get out of this. So, we

[06:46] appreciate your time.

[06:47] >> I'm extraordinarily heartbroken. Look,

[06:49] I'm equal parts sad and and angry right

[06:51] now, but I I guess I'm no part

[06:54] surprised. This has been a constant rise

[06:56] in domestic terrorism in this country.

[06:59] It's taken different forms over the

[07:01] years, but I I think we all knew with

[07:04] the, you know, scattered events that

[07:06] have seemed to get less scattered and

[07:08] more consistent combined with the the

[07:10] rhetoric and the anger in the air that

[07:12] something like this was not only

[07:14] inevitable, but you know, to a certain

[07:16] degree probable. And uh I think that's

[07:19] awful in a country that depends on civic

[07:21] discourse and an informed citizenry uh

[07:23] participating in a constitutional

[07:25] republic that uh an assassin's bullet

[07:27] can end it. It's you know we talk a lot

[07:29] about attacks on democracy in our public

[07:31] discourse. But assassination culture is

[07:34] probably the biggest attack on on uh the

[07:36] ability of America to self-govern. And

[07:39] uh it it breaks my heart to see you know

[07:42] this country go through it. My heart

[07:43] breaks for Charlie Kirk's family. I

[07:45] mean, I'm a a young dad, not as young as

[07:47] he was, but like you can only imagine

[07:50] those those poor little children and his

[07:52] wife, and so equal parts sad, but I'm

[07:56] very very angry.

[07:57] >> I saw something on X last night from a

[07:59] friend of the show, J. Michael Waller.

[08:00] Uh, and I wanted to point this out. He

[08:02] said the State Department wants the uh

[08:04] public help in identifying foreigners in

[08:06] the US who had social media posts who

[08:08] were cheering on the assassin

[08:10] assassination of Charlie Kirk. Uh, it's

[08:12] going to pull their visas. and he had

[08:14] quote tweeted the deputy secretary of

[08:15] state Chris Landau. Uh that is good news

[08:18] right here. I mean the fact that there

[08:20] are some action steps I would say we

[08:22] want a lot more. Uh but I do think this

[08:25] is a good first step, Mike.

[08:28] >> Yeah, I do too. Uh Landau is an absolute

[08:30] American patriot. He's a, you know,

[08:32] longtime uh you know advocate for the

[08:34] causes we care about so much here on the

[08:35] mandate. I've known him personally for

[08:37] some time. Uh he he means it. He really

[08:40] does mean it. And for you know the

[08:42] number two over at state to step out in

[08:43] that way I think is also meaningful to

[08:45] see that out of our political

[08:46] leadership. Uh luckily for him uh there

[08:50] a are a lot of foreigners who have said

[08:53] you know just absolutely terrible things

[08:55] along with a lot of Americans who have

[08:57] as well and and citizens are so outraged

[08:59] by this. Uh they're just scraping all

[09:02] this. you're seeing ex accounts just

[09:03] fill up, you know, in the rec last 24

[09:05] hours, screen capping everything they

[09:07] possibly can, you know, coming from

[09:09] these uh networks. And so, not only will

[09:11] that be helpful for the visa revocation

[09:13] of these foreigners, but it's also going

[09:15] to be helpful for what needs to happen

[09:16] next in terms of identifying and mapping

[09:19] the supporters of the domestic terror

[09:21] movement here in the United States. And

[09:23] so, if you're watching, you see

[09:24] something, you say something and get it

[09:26] to the right place. If you don't know

[09:27] where to take it, send it to me. I'll

[09:29] get it to the right place. Uh and and so

[09:31] props to Landau for stepping up.

[09:33] >> Yeah. And props to all the Patriots last

[09:35] night who were going out and saving all

[09:36] the Tik Toks, all the exposts. Uh if you

[09:39] ventured into blue sky, we showed some

[09:41] of those boats earlier. Uh bless you

[09:43] because I have no time or patience uh

[09:46] for any of them over there. But Mike

[09:48] Howell, thanks so much for joining us

[09:49] today. We always appreciate it.
