Charlie plays the tape back on Jake Tapper's pretty epic rant targeting Hollywood, the NBA, and Nike over lust for Chinese money: "There is no amount of money that can buy enough soap to wash that blood off their hands." Well done, Jake, but is this sudden awakening sincere? Or is a brazen attempt to make a play for the 9pm ET slot recently opened up after CNN canned Chris "Fredo" Cuomo following sexual assault allegations and revelations of how deep his involvement really was during brother Andrew Cuomo's own sexual assault crisis that ended with him resigning from office? Meanwhile crime is getting so bad across the nation's biggest cities that local media outlets are beginning to produce "how to guides" on how to avoid getting car jacked. Finally, Charlie analyzes the Michigan high school shooting including the indictment of the shooter's parents in some bizarre twists and turns emerge in that tragic story.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A lot of different stories I want to get to here.
Let's start with this one.
This was really interesting, which is, i'm not really sure, the motive here maybe ratings, because the ratings at CNN are so abysmal.
In fact, let's actually read with that lead with that one, Joe Rogan.
He's just terrific.
I get these emails from people they say, Charlie, do you know Joe Rogan does drugs?
Yeah, i'm actually very aware that Joe Rogan does drugs.
I obviously disagree with him on that.
I also think he's awesome because he tells the truth.
He has bucked the covet establishment.
He has courage.
He's hilarious.
Charlie, do you know Joe Rogan swears?
Yeah I, I am aware that that Joe Rogan swears.
Someone emailed me.
Charlie, stop praising Joe Rogan.
He's a sexual anarchist, like, first of all, you got that term from us and just calm down.
Okay, we're trying to build a coalition for liberty.
I'm not going to endorse positions of Joe Rogan I disagree with.
With that being said, his show is the most successful, most popular podcast ever and he's a normal, real person and he's been willing to say what is necessary.
And i'll be honest with you, I have more respect for Joe Rogan than most of America's pastors.
That went along with Blm and the vaccine mandates and Joe Rogan talking about Ivermectin challenge the media industrial complex.
It's been phenomenal.
Okay, let's start with Joe Rogan, then we'll get to CNN, because there's this really interesting story with fake Jake Tapper.
Let's start with cut 17.
Joe Rogan talking about CNN, play cut 17.
Well, I think CNN is realizing that their ratings are dog shit and that having these highly polarizing editorial personalities.
I don't want this left-wing propaganda network, which is what CNN's become.
The way I look at CNN now is so differently than the way I looked at CNN of 15, 20 years ago.
That's such a good point.
CNN used to be the trusted place for breaking news, especially their war coverage was always right on the front lines.
It was always a little, you know, it was very aggressive.
It was very, aggressive is not the right word.
It was very assertive.
It was very bold.
And honestly, it was really courageous journalism they used to do in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Ted Turner always wanted to build a legitimate news network.
I mean, Tucker Carlson worked for CNN at one point, to give you an idea.
Newt Gingrich worked for CNN at one point.
He had a show on CNN.
Roger Stone used to work with CNN.
He used to go on CNN.
Did Roger Stone ever work for CNN?
He used to go on CNN.
I don't think Roger Stone's allowed on CNN anymore.
But CNN made this decision that they wanted to become a Democrat super PAC, that they wanted to become a political action vehicle.
Now, Jake Tapper, despite being incredibly dishonest and unfair to so many different people, he came out and said something that is so interesting and diagnosed one of the major problems in America, which is how the most powerful people on the planet, especially the most powerful people in America, are bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party.
They are corrupt to the core, that they have sold their soul to their Chinese masters, from the NBA to Hollywood to Wall Street to academia.
And the Democrat Party knows that China is on pace to overtake America, and they're perfectly okay with it because the Democrat Party hates America more than they fear China.
They say, okay, if China's going to be number one, as long as America is weakened and as long as we're in control, you see, the Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, Schumer, they would rather be in charge of a weaker America than be displaced from power and have America be strong.
Nothing about the agenda of the left or the Democrat Party or the collectivists, the statists, the authoritarians, the tyrants, whatever you want to call them.
Nothing about what they're trying to do is actually trying to strengthen the country for the inevitable collision that we are heading towards China.
But Jake Tapper, mainly because of his concerns over Peng Shui, Peng, who is the tennis player, am I getting that right?
Accused China's former vice premier, Zhang Gallo, of sexually assaulting her.
And so then she disappeared, of course, because it's China.
Tapper emphasized the World Tennis Association's attempt to protest China's brutality.
I'm reading from Media.
I can't believe I'm reading from Media.
It's kind of a weird segment as this.
Is far more strident than what the International Olympic Committee has done to prepare to host for the 2020 Winter Games.
Tapper said, yes, the Olympics are supposed to be free and without politics, but this is not about politics.
The allegations against the Chinese government go far beyond its treatment of Shui.
That's the least of our concerns.
But the real problem is that people that pay U.S. taxes and that are allegedly U.S. citizens, they have gotten unbelievably rich off of allowing China to rise to power.
Many members at the top levels of the generation that came to power in the 70s and 80s, the Septuagintarian generation, the Pelosi and Schumers, they prioritized instant stimulus profits from mainland China over the welfare of the nation.
Here's CNN Jake Tapper.
I mean, he just unleashes on this.
I'm sure he'll be reprimanded.
Play cut 13 right now.
That Simpsons episode in Hong Kong disappeared like Peng Shui.
Disappeared like citizen journalist Zhang Zhen, whom the Chinese government has locked up for telling the truth about COVID-19.
Disappeared like the consciences of the millionaires and billionaires in Hollywood and the NBA and the IOC and Wall Street are all so eager for Chinese cash.
They are pretending none of this is happening.
There is no amount of money that can buy enough soap to wash that blood off their hands.
So I'm going to give you the cynical interpretation, then I'm going to give you the other interpretation.
The cynical interpretation is Jake Tapper doesn't believe that.
And he found some sort of intern that isn't a Bolshevik at CNN and said, hey, I want the 9 p.m. slot for Fredo that was just fired.
Can you just like take some of Tucker's monologues and then launder them through a CNN filter and then let me say them because then I can get the 9 p.m. slot.
That's the cynical interpretation is that Jake Tapper found some intern that isn't a communist at CNN and wrote that monologue after.
I'll be honest, that was a copy paste of something that Tucker Carlson has been saying for the last three years.
And Jake Tapper, who wants to be the 9 p.m. host, now that Fredo is gone, he smells blood in the water.
And I'll be honest, Jake Tapper would do a better job than Chris Cuomo.
And look, we'll talk a little about Chris Cuomo after the break.
Chris Cuomo's been fired.
It's been a bad year for the Cuomos.
And I don't know.
A lot of people are like delighting in the fall of Chris Cuomo.
I'm not really big in.
I'm not big into that stuff.
I'm not.
I think Chris Cuomo is a piece of garbage.
I think he's actually really stupid.
He's just very uninteresting too.
But I don't know.
I have a rule.
I don't like to delight in the downfall of others unless with some very, very certain exceptions.
Very certain exceptions.
Will I do that?
And I'm not saying Chris Cuomo's a victim, and I don't feel sorry for him.
I don't.
I think he's just so uninteresting.
And I think we're giving him way bigger of a pedestal than he actually deserves.
But I'm going to finish the Jake Tapper analysis because the cynical interpretation is he wants the 9 p.m. slot on CNN.
Or maybe there's a non-cynical interpretation.
Far less likely, but it does give me a little bit of hope.
Am I allowed to have hope when I watch CNN?
Look what is going on.
I've been telling you guys about Relief Factor for quite some time.
And truth is, I know millions of people are in fact, 100 million people are in some kind of pain.
Look, producer Andrew, he couldn't walk.
He was a hobbled individual.
He was bedridden in his chair, complaining all the time.
And then all of a sudden we got this call from Relief Factor.
They said, hey, we want to partner with your show.
We're going to send you some Relief Factor.
Producer Andrew got it.
He took it, got a little bit better, took some more, got a little bit better.
Next thing you know, he's doing the Fallsberry flop like you wouldn't believe.
In fact, he might be training for an Ironman.
It's pretty incredible.
Now, he says it's thanks to Relief Factor.
I ask him all the time, Relief Factor?
He says relief factor.com, 100% drug-free supplement.
You can get it for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day.
So go to relieffactor.com, and I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start to see if we can get you out of pain.
And then after that, it's less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day to stay out of pain.
So go to relieffactor.com.
That is relieffactor.com.
I'm telling you, a lot of people are in pain.
It's 100% drug-free.
Don't go to opioids.
Don't go to these other things.
Check it out at relieffactor.com.
Jake Tapper goes after China in an interesting turn of events.
Tapper says, of course, Apple and Nike publicly claimed to decry slave labor, but to be clear, the behavior we are seeing from U.S. corporations is not about a company surviving.
It's about discontent, which is hundreds of millions of dollars, desiring instead of billions of dollars.
There is no amount of money that can wash the blood off their hands.
And so the cynical interpretation is, and it's probably the right interpretation, is that he just wants to have the nine o'clock slot now that Chris Cuomo is gone, fired, done from CNN for helping his brother.
Obviously not fired for lying or doing all the other things he did.
No, but he's fired because he helped his brother, which who wouldn't help your brother in a time of need.
But the interesting thing here is that is there a change happening among some people on the left towards China?
Or are we just fooling ourselves and this is all just a bunch of hocus pocus?
It's probably hocus pocus.
It's probably just a bunch of smokescreen and nonsense.
Now, the Biden regime has announced that they're doing a diplomatic boycott of China, which is basically a toothless way for that they could say, oh, yeah, we're being tough on China.
Like, really?
We need a lot more than a diplomatic boycott of China.
Now, does that mean the athletes will boycott?
I don't think so, right, Connor?
The athletes are still going.
Now, people are torn on this.
My friend and the terrific senator, Senator Ted Cruz, says we shouldn't boycott and we should go to the Olympics and that we should win and that we should kick their tail and that we should show them that we are better than them.
The other side is that we should boycott the Olympics and it would basically destroy the Olympics as is because without the Americans, every other team would know that it's really not a legitimate Olympics.
I haven't really come to a solid opinion.
I'll be very honest with you.
I'm torn.
And I'd love your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
I see it both ways.
I see it the Ted Cruz way.
So just so you know, that there is, there's Winter Olympics coming up this February where all of us decide to really care about America's janitorial community while we watch stones being glided across ice in a hurry while we try to get them in the midst of a circle.
Now, I love curling because the barrier to entry for curling is nothing.
I'm not saying it's not difficult, but I'm saying that some of these guys that are curlers, you would, they're immistakable to TSA agents.
It's brilliant.
I'm not saying that as a pejorative, by the way.
I'm just saying that if you go look at the average diver and the average curler, big difference.
And I agree.
Producer Andrew sent me a note.
He says, I love curling.
It's bizarrely fascinating.
I totally agree.
And what I love about the Olympics, same with soccer, is that all of a sudden we become immensely obsessed about a sport that we otherwise do not care about the rest of the couple years.
So yeah, I'm really big in deluge.
I love it.
And then it's like, as soon as the Olympics are over, you don't think about it.
You forget the name of the sport.
Boycotting the Chinese Olympics00:04:00
You don't even remember.
But I kind of enjoy it because the reason we love it, though, is that it's patriotism on display.
And so I would love your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
I see it both ways.
I'm probably in the camp of a full boycott, just so we're clear.
But there's this tension, right?
Is that fair to the athletes that have trained so hard and they want an opportunity to try to win?
At the same time, is participating in the Olympics validating the murderous enemy regime?
Now, we've boycotted Olympics before.
We boycotted the German Olympics, I think, in the 1930s.
Is that right, Connor?
Sort of.
And then I think we boycotted one of the Soviet games, if I'm not mistaken.
We definitely boycotted one with the Soviet Union in the 70s or 80s.
I'm trying to think out loud here.
I know we did.
I'm positive of that.
And so there is this disagreement, and Biden has now says it's a diplomatic boycott, meaning basically we're not going to send.
We did, we boycotted in 1980.
That's what I thought.
Somewhat right.
And that was to the Soviet Union's intervention in Afghanistan.
Yeah, what kind of countries invade Afghanistan?
Who would do such a thing as that?
Right.
So ridiculous.
Who dare would invade Afghanistan and stay there for 20 years?
What kind of people would do that?
Who would give weapons to the Taliban?
Terrible people.
We should boycott their games.
I see it both ways.
But the deeper point is: let's say we fully boycotted the Chinese Olympics.
That is not even close to what we should be doing with China.
We should say, no more products from China, 100% tariffs.
No more children get to go to U.S. universities from the CCP.
If you attack us cyber again, we are going to retaliate.
No islands in the South China Sea.
You touch Taiwan.
You will feel the full fury of every type of military technology we have.
That's what it should be.
Internet privacy is extremely important.
New news out shows that Google has been colluding with the federal government to hand over your data if you might have searched something wrong into the search bar.
So what are you doing to protect your search history?
Well, this is why you need ExpressVPN.
Using the internet without ExpressVPN is like going to the bathroom and not closing the door.
It's in fact even worse than that.
It's inviting someone into the bathroom, which is really weird and creepy.
Internet service providers know every single website you visit.
ISPs can sell this data and information to ad companies and tech giants who then use your data to target you.
ExpressVPN creates a secure, encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet.
So your online activity cannot be seen by anyone.
It's as easy as closing the bathroom door and fire up the app and click one button.
I use it on all my devices.
Every device, I have those beautiful three letters, VPN with a rectangle around it.
It's rated number one by CNET and tech radar.
Here's the cool thing: it works on phones, laptops, and even routers.
So everyone who shares your Wi-Fi can be protected.
Here's the thing: I have it on my iPhone, I have it on my iPad, I have it on my computer.
Express VPN for me has been a game changer to be able to know that the tech companies or the government have to go through a whole other barrier to try to spy on us.
And we see with the new announcements out of DC, if you spoke at a school board meeting lately, you better get a VPN.

Tech Companies Maximizing Profits00:02:39
He said, instead of the athletes boycotting the games, why don't we let the snowflakes go over and protest along with the athletes during the games?
If they arrested and kicked out of the games, at least they still showed up.
What do you think?
Definitely creative.
Not sure it would work.
Okay, but the question is, and Biden has said that they're going to do a diplomatic boycott.
That doesn't mean the athletes will boycott.
Do we send them there?
Do we not?
And the bigger question when it comes to China is: are we going to be serious about the great enemy that we are going to be facing the next hundred years?
The answer for the NBA, the answer for Hollywood, the answer for Wall Street, the answer for many of the tech companies has been: we want to get endlessly rich off the Chinese Communist Party.
We built that.
You know, Barack Obama had that famous quote in 2012 when he was campaigning for president.
If you have a business, you did not build that.
Somebody else made that happen.
Well, China, I have a message for you.
You did not build that.
We made that happen.
Your entire empire is because of a massive labor arbitrage that we executed against our own people.
It was people from McKenzie, people like Mitt Romney, people that came from venture capital that cared more about trying to maximize pennies on a dollar to try to lower wages so that we can get more plastic from Wuhan.
And now vitamin C and penicillin and critical drugs are now made in mainland China and not in America.
We were always told that endless trade was going to just make us endlessly richer.
And look, trade can be a benefit.
Of course it can be, obviously.
It would be against economics to say that.
The question is, what's the downside?
A mature society asks the question: what's the cost?
There's a cost to everything.
And the cost is: okay, we get a bunch of piles of plastic from China, okay?
We get to be able to make points on the deal of opening up new manufacturing plants of a bunch of plastic we're never going to use or t-shirts we're never going to wear.
Okay.
What's the cost?
How about millions of your fellow countrymen here in America out of work that then go get displaced opioids and destroying the muscular class?
Oh, we don't care about them.
We just care about maximizing profits.
Well, what about the destruction of small-town America?
We don't care about that.
We just care about maximizing profits.
I'm not saying it didn't maximize profits, but was that holistically the best thing for the country?
Is it a good thing that we do not manufacture or we don't produce vitamin C in this country?
Rising Crime in America00:06:51
Now, I want to shift gears a little bit.
I go on China endlessly, and we've had Gordon Chang on it.
We are on this program.
We are probably one of the most, what's the best way I could say it?
Intense based on China.
They're an enemy.
We're already at war.
They declared war on us.
It's about time that we start to treat it that way.
And no, it's not a hot kinetic war, but they launched the virus.
They lied about it.
And they've benefited tremendously from the entire thing.
Meanwhile, the very low IQ, Lloyd Austin, who runs the Department of Defense, he refused to call China our enemy, just a foe, a competitor, a challenge.
Now, I got so many different ways I could try to go with this, but I do want to shift gears because I promised I would get to this kind of sequence of stories, which is the issue that I think is going to be one of the most vulnerable to the current Democrat regime is rising crime across the country.
Do we have that other tape I just sent you?
It's a remarkable tape.
It's 26.
Okay, I will call it.
Everybody, America is becoming a far more dangerous place to live.
You know this.
Crime is going up dramatically.
And almost no one wants to talk about it.
And I think it's getting so wildly out of control.
And of course, it's all in Democrat areas with Democrat DAs, with police forces that have been completely stripped down with very low morale.
Let's start with this.
Let's start with Cut 7, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney blasts the bad law and bad policy that has contributed to the crime wave gripping the Democrat-run city.
Play Cut 7.
Bad law and bad policy is driving this most recent spike in crime that we're seeing in Los Angeles.
If you look at the types of crimes that are concerning us right now, they are directly rooted in bad law from the legislature and bad policy from LA County District Attorney George Gascock.
Third world country is what some of these cities are becoming.
But if you ask AOC about it, Alexander Ecasio-Cortez, she says that, well, we just need to look at them in context and not create hysteria over them.
You see, everyone's a tough guy until you get mugged on the side of the street.
And I mean, the crime issue is a really interesting one for me.
It really is because I can understand at some point how AOC can convince herself that universal health care is better.
Obviously, it isn't and all that stuff.
I'm really interested, though.
Has she sat down and actually used her reason for, does she have any?
I don't know.
For more than 20 seconds and says, huh, when things get more dangerous, I don't maybe don't want to live in those places.
This is not a hard one.
You know, survival is a pretty easy sales pitch.
Like, hey, if you put us in office, you won't get mugged.
Hey, I could put that on bumper sticker.
Vote for me.
You won't get mugged.
It actually has a ring to it.
But AOC says, look, we have to look at these rising crime numbers in context and not create hysteria over them.
Play cut 19.
We are seeing these headlines about percentage increases.
I also want to make sure that this hysteria doesn't drive a hysteria and that we look at these numbers in context.
What context?
They're up double digits, AOC, in your district.
But for them, crime is just a social construct.
They're bad laws.
Now, this Cut 26 is incredible.
So news, the news channels have now become very similar to kind of, what was that old, that television, HGTV?
Right?
HGTV, they used to be like, here's how to create a kitchen cabinet.
Or it's like the food network, right?
Here's how to make better ZD.
Well, news are now, they are now becoming the home improvement food network equivalent for crime.
You see, news stations are now in the business of giving you advice how to avoid the thugs that might try to kill you.
Kitchen cabinet, baked ZD, stay in your car when you go to get gas.
Play Cut 26.
Here in Greenbelt, we have seen a couple of violent carjackings.
In the past week or so, Greenbelt Police responded to Breezewood Court just the other day.
Three men shot and wound, or I should say, three men shot and wounded a man and carjacked another person at gunpoint in the middle of the night in order to prevent a carjacking.
Well, here's what we should be doing.
Police say lock the doors when driving and when pumping gas.
In fact, stay in your car if you can at the gas station.
Always look around before getting out of your vehicle.
And if you are the victim of a carjacking, give up that car.
Your life is just not worth it.
Equip your vehicle with an anti-theft or GPS tracking device and allow yourself room and traffic to move around other cars.
Avoid getting boxed in, if you will, and keep your cell phone in your pocket rather than laying in your car.
For example, when you go to a mall or a shopping center, park in a busy area.
Don't park behind a large truck.
Park where you can be seen.
Wow.
Was that ABC to 7 Chicago?
I think so.
My favorite part of the entire thing, and he misspoke, he said, your life is not worth it.
No, your car is not worth it.
Okay.
Your life is worth it.
I'm trying to think if there's any way that sentence actually makes sense.
No, your life is worth it.
Now, maybe he's saying that your life is so important, it's not worth fighting for the car.
Oh, is that in Washington, D.C.?
I think that's what I know what he was trying to say.
But I love how they just kind of put up the do-it-yourself instruction manual.
Stay in your car.
So let me just make sure I understand this.
How do you pump your gas while you stay in your car?
There's only one state that I know that that's to Oregon and New Jersey, because they actually, by law, actually, does Oregon still have that?
I don't think so.
I think Oregon got rid of it.
New Jersey, for sure, you can't pump your own gas.
You know that, Connor?
You can't pump your own gas in New Jersey.
Last month was the gun industry's third busiest month ever, November ever, since record keeping began in the 1990s for guns.
People are starting to arm themselves.
Now, when you defund the police, you let criminals out like Daryl Brooks.
Michigan School Shooting Tragedy00:08:40
So, of course, we thought, you know, we memory hold the terrorist, the black terrorist in Waukesha, Wisconsin, who ran over six people and wounded 60 others.
We just totally forget about that because Daryl Brooks is not helpful to the current racially arsonist regime.
Daryl Brooks is actually very unhelpful to the regime.
But the rise in crime is an issue that you could say transcends almost every other issue.
And I will say Republicans are starting to speak out about it.
And it's really not that overly complicated.
More police, tougher laws, tougher sentencing for violent crime.
It's really that simple.
Arson, rape, sexual assault, carjacking, theft, you got to go to jail for quite some time.
But instead, we've enacted jailbreak pieces of legislation.
We have had a tremendous multi-dimensional push from George Soros, DAs, and others because they believe that the system itself is racist.
And we're seeing at every single turn that crime is skyrocketing nearly double digits.
Murder is up 77 to 80% in Austin, Texas alone.
How about Chicago?
All my friends listening on AM560, The Answer.
We do this about once a week, don't we?
We give the reflection of Chicago values.
755 people shot and killed so far in Chicago.
And hey, I think they're going to break their record.
December is quite a month.
3,549 shot and wounded.
4,304 people total shot for 803 total homicides.
Most of which of these, 95% of these, are black and black crime.
And we're supposed to believe that the real problem is white supremacy.
A person in Chicago is shot every one hour and 53 minutes, and they're murdered every 10 hours and eight minutes.
So by the next time you guys hear my broadcast tomorrow, three people will have been shot and killed in Chicago.
Three people.
Nine killed this last weekend and 23 wounded in Chicago and weekend shootings in Chicago.
Yeah, but don't bring in the National Guard or anything.
That's just who cares about that?
Look, everyone out there has been asking me, Charlie, how do I get more pillows?
Well, that's mypillow.com.

So there's a really interesting and tragic story unfolding in Michigan of the school shooting.
It's the Oxford High School shooting.
Now, let me just start with this: that the University of Michigan football team and the Detroit Lions all wore patches remembering the victims of the shooting.
I have no problems with that.
What I am kind of confused about is why there wasn't any sports ceremonies or patches that I'm aware of for the victims that died from the Waukesha Christmas parade terrorist attack of a black supremacist that ran over six people and killed some kids.
So if that is the new standard, which I'm fine with, by the way, I'm fine with sports teams commemorating the victims of mass terror events, shootings, running over people your car.
I morally have no question of that.
But it's so blatantly and nakedly political when you do it for a school shooting that very well might help confirm gun control and that agenda, but you're silent on Waukesha.
Okay?
Let me just start.
I just, I found that to be troubling.
So there was a shooting at Oxford High School shooting.
I'm not going to mention the shooter's name.
The individual who did this very well might have been demonically possessed.
If you listen to what he actually was doing, he kept on saying, I have these voices in my head.
I cannot get them out of my head.
I can't control myself.
Now, I'm going to get torbed.
I'm going to just get railed by the media for that.
I'll double and triple down on that.
He might have had a spiritual possession of a dark nature, and obviously we'll never know that.
Okay?
So this individual, I'm not going to say his name, the gunman, was disturbed, was obviously mentally compromised.
Is that an okay thing?
Is that the right way to say it?
Yeah, he killed people.
Who cares?
I guess that's the right thing, right?
And so his parents brought him to buy a firearm the day after Thanksgiving.
Am I getting this correct?
On Black Friday.
So they buy the gun, and this kid's a lunatic, and they buy a gun for him.
Okay, so if I'm understanding the story correctly, he goes to school, and he's first, the day before, a teacher finds him looking at ammunition on a school computer.
They report that to the school, gets back to the parents, and the mom says, Ethan, next time, don't get caught.
I guess I said his name.
Okay, whatever.
Comes back the next day.
He's writing on a piece of paper saying that the voices won't stop and basically draw pictures of killing people.
Am I getting this right, Connor?
This is roughly correct.
So then this is what's, and I need to get this triple verified, but I find this so hard to believe that they then have a meeting with Ethan and his parents and the school counselors and they send him back to class without checking his backpack,
without going through his backpack, his parents or the school for the firearm that he then uses to go kill four people.
His parents have now been charged for involuntary manslaughter for purchasing the weapon and not intervening.
But the question is, why isn't the school also being charged and also being investigated for this?
If they knew about this, it's too soon to really kind of make a major takeaway.
This is going to be a big national story because the parents have been indicted, and that's a very, very rare thing.
They probably should be.
I've heard mixed legal opinions.
Some people are really upset about this: of the parents being tried for the sins of the kid, that it's kind of looping it in.
I see it both ways.
I'll be very honest with you.
They were very negligent in how they purchased this firearm and the text message saying next time don't get caught.
The meeting, I'll be honest, it was I could say I could see it both ways.
But the takeaway, the immediate takeaway is that, and this is a non-political takeaway, if you see warning signs of a lunatic that wants to harm other people, don't wish it to get better.
If you are in a position to do something and you see someone that might be at risk that wants to harm themselves or harm others, do something about it.
I think a lot of people are going to have to reconcile with that guilt and regret for the rest of their life.
If only I would have.
Yes, that's right.
Intervention can save lives.
