The Justice System's War on Whites with Helen Andrews and Kane
Jake Gardner trusted in the justice system to back him up when he defended himself from a violent rioter. Instead, he was driven to suicide after being smeared as a white supremacist and charged with murder by a radical left prosecutor. Now, subway hero Daniel Penny faces the same danger. Helen Andrews of The American Conservative joins to describe how the justice system in blue cities has become systemically biased against white defendants who defend themselves from criminals. Plus, Kane of Citizen Free Press discusses the political fallout of Trump's arraignment — will it really hurt Trump with independents, or could it give him a boost?Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I don't do Twitter.
It's a waste of time.

He puts in hours.
I text this guy at like 2 a.m. sometimes and he responds instantaneously.
Citizen Kane from Citizen Free Press.
Citizen Kane, how are you doing today?
Doing great, brother.
Man, I can't help but laugh.
I love the intro.
It's like you do some of the best commercials that you fit in into your podcast.
And I think you do a better, you just did a better one for me than you've done for anyone else.
So yeah, so I'm here.
I'm ready to win.
I'm pissed off, ready to crawl across some broken glass.
And so let's get to it.
So Kane, yeah, you are on the pulse of the grassroots.
Citizen Free Press has millions and millions of page views of people that love their country and they're afraid they're losing it.
Kane, I'm going to let you riff here.
The Republicans are playing baseball games.
They can't even get votes together to censure Adam Schiff.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is facing a 37-count indictment in federal court.
Do we have an opposition party here, Kane?
I'm fired up.
You're fired up.
The audience is fired up.
Why are Republican leaders not fired up?
Kane, your reaction.
You know, yeah, let's start with that Adam Schiff vote.
You know, not only are they not, are they, they don't seem to be an opposition party.
They can't even come together ahead of time and make sure that they've got a bill that they have them, you know, that they have the majority votes that can pass it.
You know, I'm a little bit upset with how that entire situation turned out yesterday, and I feel like it's a lack of communication.
I saw Anna Paulina Luna communicating with Thomas Massey through Twitter.
You know, there should have been meetings.
This was a big deal.
This got delayed from last week.
They had plenty of time in the last seven days to put together a plan, something that they could have gotten those 20 votes off the bench and pass.
So, you know, I don't really want to get into the weeds there.
You know, Thomas Massey knows the Constitution better than I do, but just on a spiritual level, it pisses me off and it really pisses off the base.
There's been stuff going on all day regarding that congressional baseball game.
You know, in the past, I've loved to cover that game.
You know, I've never forget how it occurred pretty quick, just a couple days after the shooting back several years ago.
And anyway, I love covering it.
And I didn't even know what happened, actually.
Your producer had to remind me right before I came on that that was last night.
All right.
Yeah.
So let's talk about Miami a couple days ago.
What, you know, what was noticed there?
It was Vivek.
You know, Vivek is the man.
He's, I feel like, and the base feels like he's moving himself up in the vice presidential possibility ranking here.
He's, you know, he's the Andrew Yang of our party.
He's, he's, he's an amazing communicator.
He has sort of Kerry Lake communication skills, and he goes right into the belly of the beast, goes right into CNN, and blows up Dana Bash.
And so I loved, I absolutely loved what Vivek was doing.
And you know what?
There was no one else.
It was crickets, as I'm sure you've been talking about for the last two days.
There was no one else there.
And I think Vivek really stood out.
You know, as for Mike Pence, you know, other than raising money for his PAC, what the heck is he doing?
You know, does he like, is he a, is he a, you know, does he enjoy cruelty?
Because if he reads any message boards, you know, he's not going to like what he sees.
And I, you know, I liked Mike Pence.
I, you know, and I know Mark Short a little bit, and these are good people, but I just don't understand what he's, you know, what he's doing.
Two separate occasions, sort of going after going after Trump.
He's just, it's not, it's not working well.
I need to take a breath here, so I'll let you throw something in.
No, so, so, Kane, I want to, I want to emphasize one of the things that you mentioned here.
So, what a missed opportunity for these candidates not to come down to Miami.
First of all, missed opportunity for the country.
It would have showed a really powerful response against this indictment, unified, and the administrative state doesn't run the country.
Secondly, you look at these candidates that allegedly want to be president.
I really doubt some of these people want to be president because if they want to be president, they'd be running different types of campaigns.
Maybe they just want to appease donors and not offend people and have long-term corporate board seats.
I mean, you could take one at a time, but let's take the most obvious one: Governor DeSantis in his home state could have come in a couple hours.
There were 1,000 cameras there, Kane, right?
According to Ben Berquam from the Great Real America's Voice, he said he's never seen so much press at a single thing.
I mean, that's maybe an exaggeration, but meaning it's like state of the union style press coverage, right?
Everyone's there, Reuters, AP, international news agencies, they're all there.
They have nothing to do for three hours.
They're literally like, you know, playing, you know, playing solitaire on their phone, basically, right?
Trying to burn time in the humidity.
And any presidential candidate could have worked the sticks and they could have said whatever they want.
Okay, I don't like Trump.
I don't like this, but this is bad.
This is wrong.
This is terrible.
I just, Kane, I don't understand the calculus.
Again, I'm not here to actually give them free political advice because everyone knows my leanings and my affiliation.
I'm more concerned, though, outside of the political fumble and blunder and missed opportunity.
I don't think it was good to only have Vivek and Trump there.
It made it seem as if the administrative state was on to something, right?
And it's either the candidates are all afraid of Trump and it shows or they hate Trump so much and they want to hide away from him.
Kane, it showed to me that some most any Republican that wasn't there either missed an opportunity and or they're basically in an alliance with the uniparty.
Yeah, it's a you made so many great points there.
You know, names that pop out, Tim Scott should have been there.
You know, Trump likes Tim Scott.
Trump welcomed him into the race.
You know, Tim Scott is trying to make inroads with the MAGA, with the MAGA crowd.
He should have been there.
DeSantis, absolutely.
You know, that would have been, you know, it would have been an opportunity for DeSantis to really, you know, because, right, there's been a lot of controversy as the two sides have been attacking each other, right?
And the DeSantis people feel as though Trump has sort of unfairly personally attacked him, etc., etc.
What an opportunity it would have been for him to show, hey, I'm the bigger guy.
None of these attacks mean anything.
It's just politics, and I'm here to stand up for what's right.
And there's no way they should put, you know, they should be attempting to put our candidate, the leading candidate, the highest polling candidate, the candidate who's beating Biden by six points, why they should be putting, attempting to put this guy in jail for the rest of his life.
Or as I think you said in your earlier segment, until he's 175 years old.
So you're absolutely right.
It would have been a fantastic opportunity.
It would have earned points with Trump.
It would have earned points with America first base.
And I think DeSantis blew it.
I think Tim Scott blew it.
I think Vivek was the huge winner.
I think Marjorie probably should have been there.
I think there's a lot of people that should have been there, but Tim Scott and Ron DeSantis blew it.
There will be more indictments likely.
You and I have talked about Georgia for quite some time.
And we talked about how Alvin Bragg.
I just want to give Kane a shout out here.
Kane called me like six weeks ago, and it was like 1 a.m. or something.
He said, Charlie, I see it now.
He's going to be facing four indictments by Labor Day.
I was like, all right, that might be.
He was totally right.
This is what happens when you consume the news 18 hours a day and you live it.
You start to see trends and patterns.
Kane, Trump facing more indictments.
Yes.
And if so, what other indictments came?
Yeah.
And you sell yourself sure.
And that 1 a.m. phone call, you were right on it with me.
You had been thinking the same thing because we both devour this stuff.
So, yeah, there's an article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution this morning with a response from Fannie Willis's office in Fulton County commenting on the Letitia James comment in the Pod Save America program yesterday, where she said that she thought all the state cases would have to be put on hold.
Fanny Willis's offices said, not so fast, Letitia.
So obviously they're not planning it.
They're not planning to slow down anything.
That indictment is coming in August.
She's told the Atlanta police to be ready.
So yeah, we've seen that one coming.
And then there's probably one more from Jack Smith.
Look, are you concerned about the American K through 12 education system?
Are you worried about what your children and your grandchildren are learning or honestly not learning in school?
If you answer yes, my friends at Hillsdale College have a free resource for you.

Citizen Kane, I found the clip you were mentioning.
It's an extraordinary clip.
It's Letitia James, who's the Attorney General of New York, saying that unfortunately, we're going to have a scheduling conflict.
And what immediately comes to mind is the obvious thing.
Wait a second.
I thought justice is justice regardless of scheduling.
You guys aren't complaining about scheduling conflicts with January 6th prisoners who are rotting in prison and pretrial detention.
You guys are perfectly fine with scheduling errors.
This is the key.
Letitia James, if you listen carefully, it takes a slight inference.
What she is saying is basically, I want the credit for taking Donald Trump off the chessboard before the 2024 election.
Is that, is it going to be Fannie Willis?
It's going to be federal government.
She's saying, unfortunately, we're going to have to table this.
Hold on a second.
Why does scheduling matter?
It's because it's nakedly political.
Play cut 77.
So in all likelihood, I believe that my case, as well as D.A. Bragg and the Georgia case, will unfortunately have to be adjourned pending the outcome of the federal case.
So it all depends upon the scheduling of this particular case.
I know there's going to be a flood, a flurry of motions, motions to dismiss discovery issues, all of that.
So it really all depends.
Are you concerned about that?
I think everyone is concerned about that.
Everyone is concerned about scheduling.
Citizen Kane, your reaction.
Yeah, well, when, you know, when virtue signaling is the most important thing among Democrats, this is how it works.
These people want to be seen.
They want their cases.
I think you and I talked about originally several months ago about how Fannie Willis, you know, not sure she could get a conviction in Fulton County.
And I put up the demographics.
It's, you know, but still she wants the attention.
She's going to be a hero on or a heroine on MSNBC and liberal media for a year.
Hey, I want to point out something really quick.
So there probably aren't that many guests who are posting updates to their websites while they're on the air with you.
But I want people to know you mentioned that op-ed you wrote for David Carler about how Trump's numbers continue to grow despite the indictment.
Here's why.
So I didn't realize you wrote that.
I found that on a daily caller during break.
I have a link to it.
So if your readers want to read that, go to citizenfreepress.com right now.
And the very first link at the top will take you directly to Charlie's story straight away.
So back to Fannie and, you know, Fanny and what's going down.
Obviously, you know, Jack Smith, you know, who are the, these are egos involved, right?
We've got Letitia.
She wants credit because she was going after Trump two years ago.
We've got Alvin Bragg.
We've got Jack Smith.
We've got Merrick Garland, who popped his head into the arena yesterday.
And then we've got Fannie Willis.
And I think they all know that they're heroes and they're loving every bit of the attention.
And they all want to have the credit for taking out Trump.
And so, Kane, I want to ask, you know, the timeline here is, you know, Donald Trump, I think, is solidifying his support in the primary election.
Why Silence Fails in Media Circuses00:12:31
It's perplexing to some people.
The article we just talked about here.
General election, what does this look like?
How can Donald Trump use this to benefit him in a general election?
Kane, final thoughts?
Yeah, that's you, you laid it out perfectly.
We've seen the evidence now.
One more indictment from Jack Smith or a bogus Rico indictment from Fannie Willis is not going to make a difference.
Trump is going to cruise to the primary victory.
So what does it mean for the general, right?
So there's where you get out the sort of the Ouija board and you put on your Carnac costume from Johnny Carson as your older listeners will remember.
You try to see the future, you know, see how independents are reacting to this.
And we're going to know more from polls probably in the next month.
But my reaction is that, you know, and I'm not blowing smoke here.
I think this has not hurt Trump with independence.
And I think, if anything, it's a plus, a plus one, plus two, plus three.
Because independents have shown themselves in so many of these different types of polls over the last year.
And you and I read every single one of them.
They've shown that they, you know, surprisingly, they are independent thinking.
And I'm often surprised by stuff I'll see, you know, in results from Raspeson or something on the way that independents are viewing an issue.
And I honestly believe that they're going to see this as persecution.
They're going to see this as a documents mess and that Biden himself has this same document problem.
I just think there are too many optics issues for DOJ in this to get a clean sort of public relations victory.
And we know they're not, we're not really going to pull Democrats, right?
So it's really just about independent voters.
And yeah, I don't think it's clean enough, and I think it helps Trump.
I agree.

Joining us now is Helen Andrews, who has a very important piece for the American conservative, Why Jake Gardner Died.
White defendants accused of racially sensitive crimes can't assume that the legal system will treat them fairly.
I agree completely.
She's the senior editor of the American Conservative, and Helen Andrew joins us now.
Andrew Andrews joins us now.
Helen, welcome to the program.
Tell us about your piece and the argument that white defendants can't get a fair hearing in the modern justice system.
Thanks, Riley.
Just this week, we've seen a grand jury indict Daniel Penny, the young Marine who held Jordan Neely, a threatening mentally ill drug addict, in a chokehold on a New York subway in an attempt to save his fellow passengers from a potential attack from Jordan Neely.
This was a young man who was acting as a Good Samaritan, trying to help other people, and he's now being indicted on, we believe, manslaughter charges.
So you do the right thing and you get punished by the courts.
It seems absurd, but there are echoes of this recent event, the Daniel Penny-Jordan Neely confrontation, in a big story from 2020.
And that was Jake Gardner, who was a bar owner in Omaha, Nebraska, who in a similar situation exercised his right to self-defense and caused a young black man called James Skurlock to die.
He too was indicted after a very politicized investigation.
And he tragically committed suicide on the day he was to hand himself over to police.
He did not have any faith in the justice system's ability to treat him fairly.
And considering the flimsiness of the indictment that was eventually hammered through against him, you can hardly blame him.
So that was a wonderful or a very illustrative story out of 2020, the Jake Gardner tragedy, which is seeing unfortunate echoes just this week with Daniel Penny.
So we're seeing this as a pattern and a theme.
So talk about the cultural influences here, though.
You know, the argument you make is white defendants accused of racially sensitive crimes can't assume that the legal system will treat them fairly is basically the argument you're making that is if you're white and you're involved in any form of altercation against a person of color, that a prosecutor very well might reluctantly indict you.
That's exactly right.
And that's precisely what happened in Jake Gardner's case when the Douglas County attorney investigated the circumstances of the confrontation between Gardner and James Skurlock.
He eventually concluded that there was no reason to file charges against Jake Gardner.
The encounter was captured by camera from multiple angles.
So it's not as if what happened that night was in dispute.
It was clear that Skurlock was attempting to put Gardner in a chokehold.
He was probably trying to get his gun, the gun that Gardner had on him.
And so the Douglas County Attorney Prosecutor concluded that there was no reason for Gardner to be prosecuted.
The reason why a special prosecutor was eventually appointed and a grand jury indictment eventually obtained against Jake Gardner was purely political.
There was a lot of social media outcry, a lot of allegations that Jake Gardner was a white supremacist who had gunned down an unarmed black man, a lot of hysteria, and actually a lot of genuine misinformation, to use that term correctly.
A lot of lies were spread online about Jake Gardner and his past and his motivations.
But those lies snowballed to the point where the officers of the law felt it necessary to appoint a special prosecutor.
So the racial hysteria that caused the Jake Gardner-James Skurlock incident to be misrepresented actually had real world consequences, the real world consequences of having charges brought against Gardner that even the prosecutor himself thought should never have been brought.
So I was a little unclear as I was prepping for this segment, but I actually added some, I'm 100% clear now, Helen, and it's all fitting.
So there's Daniel Penny, who was just indicted in Manhattan, white guy, black individual who died.
There's also Daniel Perry, who is in Texas, who got sentenced to 25 years for killing an Austin protester, and he should be pardoned by Greg Abbott.
So it's important that there's Daniel Perry and Daniel Penny in unusually similar type stuff.
But let's talk about the Manhattan case in particular, Helen.
And you've touched on this.
Even the mayor of New York is coming out right now and is saying that this probably goes too far.
A New York grand jury has indicted Daniel Penny for the death of Jordan Neely.
And, you know, what let me ask it this way.
If Daniel Penny was a white person, was a black person, do you think this would be news at all?
Absolutely not.
And you can tell because in restraining Jordan Neely, Daniel Penny was assisted by two other passengers on the same subway car.
They can be seen in the video helping him put Neely in a chokehold and then a bear hug.
And one of those individuals is a person of color.
And no one has fixated on him as the villain.
Everyone's looking at Daniel Penny, and it's purely because of the racial optics.
There's no question about that.
And, you know, we're seeing this in multiple instances.
Helen, does this make you less trusting of the American justice system?
Because Mike Pence, for example, came out and he said, well, we must just trust our justice system.
I don't trust our justice system.
I think that if you're a white male and you get into a messy, unclear altercation with a person of color, that the justice system is going to treat you differently.
Am I right in thinking that, Helen?
Well, of course.
And this is the same Manhattan DA who indicted Donald Trump as well.
So he's clearly got a very politicized office there.
But it's really disheartening to see that once race enters the picture, all rules seem to go out the window.
I was reading the New York Times article describing the Daniel Penny indictment published just in the last 24 hours.
And the New York Times states, as a matter of record, that Jordan Neely was behaving erratically, but quote, there was no evidence that he had physically attacked anyone.
Now, that's simply not true.
Daniel Penny describes Jordan Neely throwing his jacket at another passenger.
Other people have talked about Neely throwing trash at other passengers.
So there clearly was physical confrontation.
In addition, of course, to Jordan Neely saying, I don't care if I die, I'm going to kill somebody and other threatening language like that.
So the New York Times is misrepresenting one of the most crucial questions of this case, which is did Jordan Neely attack anybody in the minutes before Daniel Penny felt it necessary to restrain him.
So it's absolutely, it's infuriating.
And if the New York Times feels okay about misrepresenting the facts, I don't see how you as a defendant in that scenario can trust the system to give you a fair trial.
And remember, Jordan Neely was also convicted of attempted kidnapping of a seven-year-old, punching a grandma, also on the subway.
So, Helen, but you believe you must go on PR offensive on these things.
That if you are a white individual that happens to get into one of these messy altercations and there is quote unquote a race card that can be played, that you should go on the PR offensive.
What do you mean by that?
For years, it has been standard procedure for a defendant in a high-profile case to stay quiet for the duration of a trial.
And that rule existed for very good reasons.
You don't want to try your case in the court of public opinion.
You want to leave the justice system to work itself out dispassionately on the basis of the facts and not through some kind of crazy media storm.
That was the way to behave responsibly as a defendant up until about 2020.
I think the summer of George Floyd really changed the rules.
And I now think if you're a defendant in a case like this that's turning into a media circus, you can't just stay silent and trust the system to work itself out because then you're leaving social media and mass media to be dominated by people who are interested only in stirring up hatred against you,
in using you as a tool for advancing their left-wing political agenda, and who are basically, to be very blunt about it, quite willing to lie about you and what happened on the day in question in order to accomplish those goals.
So the old rule of staying quiet during a trial made a lot of sense, but I don't think it makes sense anymore.
Wisdom Beyond Political Egos00:06:22
I think that's really wise.
And I mean, there was somebody that tested that theory as separate, not involving with race.
It's Matt Gates.
Matt Gaetz was not under indictment, but he was under very serious investigation by the Department of Justice.
And Matt Gates ignored all of his lawyers' advice, and he went on a PR offensive, and he was not indicted.
Helen, great job.
The American conservative, the war on white people continues, and we're seeing it play out in this terrible case in New York City where a white Marine decided to do the right thing against a black mentally ill criminal.
And he wasn't looking at things through race.
He doesn't have a racist bone in his body.
But if it was just two blacks fighting, it would have just been whatever.
We know that as a fact.
Why do we know it's a fact?
Because there are hundreds of blacks that kill other blacks every single month in this country, and no one cares.
But if a white person gets in an altercation with a black person, everyone loses their mind.
And now he's facing 15 years for second-degree manslaughter.
Helen, thank you so much.
Great work.
And thank you for your courage to call it out what it is, which is an outright war on white people.
Thank you.
I'm about to speak to our group of teachers here at the Turning Point Academy Educator Summit about wisdom.
You cannot be a good person without wisdom.
If you were to ask 100 kids at Harvard, I would love to do this video.
Go to Harvard and ask 100 kids, what is wisdom?
I would be so curious to hear their answer.
Or Stanford, what is wisdom?
Wisdom is very simply the knowledge of things that do not change.
It is the understanding of things that are eternal.
The Declaration was written on principles of wisdom.
Laws of nature and nature is God.
What is a human being, good and evil?
What is the best thing a person can do?
Is there a hierarchy to the good?
What is courage?
What is joy?
What is prudence?
What is temperance?
What is self-control?
Is there a God?
Are you a God?
These are very important questions that people steeped in wisdom can properly answer.
How do you get wisdom?
Some people say, I get it through life experience.
You can get some wisdom through life experience, or you can read and study the texts that lay it all out for you, that answer life's most important, pressing, and eternal questions.
One of the most shocking and stunning clips that I've seen on this recently, it's one that I had to rewatch it time and time and time again last night.
I'm a big Jeopardy fan.
I grew up watching Jeopardy with my grandmother, and I loved it.
And I'm not necessarily that good at it.
I'm sure Blake could run circles around me with it, but I'm competitive.
The problem is the speed, to be able to get it that quick.
But so here you have a piece of Jeopardy tape, which I think perfectly captures where we are as a society.
We know a bunch of facts, but we have no wisdom.
Bunch of facts, but no wisdom.
Those are college campuses.
Why is there no wisdom on campuses?
Because the Bible tells us very clearly that wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord.
No God, no wisdom.
So here in this Jeopardy clip, it's very short.
It's three brainiacs.
These are obviously very smart people.
They know a lot of facts.
They probably have high IQs.
But are they wise?
I'm not willing to say they're wise or not wise, but it shows a window into probably that they're not wise.
By the way, to get on Jeopardy is super hard.
I could not get on Jeopardy.
Okay.
You have to go through testing and you have to, just to get on the stage on Jeopardy is a massive accomplishment.
And they deserve credit for that.
But here's a question that was, actually, it's not a question.
Here's an answer that was presented, and they had to then float the question of which Jeopardy goes.

And why is it that just reference this clip where you have three of the quote-unquote smartest people that are in a monetary competition around knowledge and fact spewing?
