Fighting Evil and Proclaiming Truth 00:14:59
My name is Charlie Kirk.
I run the largest pro American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
College is a scam, everybody.
You got to stop sending your kids to college.
You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
Go start a turning point USA college chapter.
Go start a turning point USA high school chapter.
Go find out how your church can get involved.
Sign up and become an activist.
I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same.
Here I am.
Lord, use me.
Buckle up, everybody.
Here we go.
The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserve Gold, the leading gold and silver experts, and the only precious metals company I recommend to my family, friends, and viewers.
All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
It is February 24th, 2026.
Blake's holding it down in Phoenix, Arizona.
Hey, Andrew, I guess the first thing we should do is we should just make sure everyone realizes that we did not get rid of the studio because I think that happens every time we have one of us in D.C.
We get all of the panicked emails.
No, it's all still here.
Chair is still here.
Nothing has changed.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Thank you for bringing up what I consider the obvious, but nevertheless, we have to bring it up sometimes.
I am in D.C.
I was graciously invited to attend the State of the Union by Representative Andy Ogles.
And so I'm here in town.
I got a lot of busy stuff today ahead of me, but the show must come first.
And Blake, unfortunately, there is a clip that it really broke my heart to see it, actually.
And we have to keep hitting this topic.
It's a terrible topic to talk about, actually.
It's my least favorite topic to talk about, but we have to.
And it was President Trump, something he said yesterday at the White House.
And it's the rise of assassination culture.
And we just, we have to do it.
We have to address it.
So let's get right into it.
368.
I don't know how long I'll be around.
Got a lot of people gunning for me, don't I, huh?
But I will not forget them.
I'm never going to forget them.
I saw that clip, actually, not until this morning, Blake.
I actually watched it last night, didn't log it, saw it this morning, and it broke my heart, actually.
And of course, he was referencing what happened at Mar a Lago.
With the Austin Martin case, where he was killed, apparently trying to assassinate the president, ginned up on conspiracy theories, frustration, whatever, locked inside an ideological echo chamber on social media.
And that is the third known assassination attempt against President Trump in the last two years.
And of course, that strikes the heart of this show, the show that bears the name Charlie Kirk, who we lost to an assassin's bullet in September.
And we have a huge problem.
And Charlie knew that we had a huge problem.
And it only is getting worse by the day.
The rhetoric from the left, the dehumanizing rhetoric from the left, is only getting worse.
And we're going to explain that in just a second.
But I want to play a couple clips here of Charlie himself acknowledging the rise of left wing political violence in America.
This is back in 2020, Charlie raising this issue then, 389.
This is going to get really nasty.
Everyone listen to this.
I just hope you understand.
Think of the nastiest moment in 2016.
They are not going to let this guy get reelected without the most brutal, drawn out fight.
We're going to have the tech companies getting involved.
Yeah.
The media is going to get worse than ever.
They're going to be taking down Twitter accounts left and right.
They're going to be taking down videos on YouTube.
They are going to be coming after us.
They're going to be following us in the middle of the night.
They're going to be breaking into our houses.
You think I'm joking?
They are going to be violent.
You will not be able to walk the streets of the MAGA hat without your physical health being put in jeopardy.
And I hope it doesn't get that way.
I hope that this clip gets unearthed and everything's wonderful.
I hope that the country comes together and we have a beautiful Unitarian healing moment in September.
And that's 2020, Blake.
Many years ago.
And he saw it then.
And then this clip, we have to play.
We have it loaded up now 379.
My fear, Senator, and I hope I'm wrong, and let's stay in prayer that I'm wrong, that someone is going to get shot the same way that Steve Scalise got shot and, God forbid, killed.
The left is creating a pressure cooker with so many of their rank and file paramilitary troops that very well might result in one of us.
Getting shot or killed.
God forbid that happens.
We're getting death threats every single day here on The Charlie Kirk Show.
Such a haunting clip, Blake.
And there's more like it, I think.
I think we continue to find as we go through the archives more times.
Charlie would talk about that.
And it always hits me because I remember not taking it as seriously.
I would always reassure him, Charlie, people don't, for the most part, do that.
And he was right to worry.
I was the idiot.
And one reason we're talking about this is not just because of what the president said, but.
There's endless cases of them, of the left deliberately, people who should know better, constantly amping up low level actors, the mentally imbalanced, the mentally unwell, the people who are more likely to get tipped over the edge.
And so I was just absolutely set off yesterday.
There was an article in The Atlantic Magazine.
For those of you who don't read it, The Atlantic is up there with The New York Times as a prestige outlet of what you would call the mainstream left opinion.
Getting published there.
Yeah, it's like being on the front page of the New York Times.
It's more prestigious than the Washington Post.
It's like the Wall Street Journal.
And one of their editors, Tom Nichols, they slid out this article yesterday, and it is The Republican Party Has a Nazi Problem.
Let's see how many times they use the word Nazi in that article.
They use the word Nazi in this article at least 15 times.
And it just repeatedly says, It just says, The Republicans have a Nazi problem.
This means the United States. Has a Nazi problem.
The responsibility for defeating it is in the 21st century, falls to everyone who still believes in the American idea.
Just repeatedly saying Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi about the right.
And as I said online last night, it's very clear what's going on here.
We had a deranged leftist who's in court today.
We're monitoring that, Tyler Robinson.
He murdered Charlie because he was whipped up by this rhetoric of Nazis, this rhetoric of genocide.
We've had a gunman shoot up an ICE facility and kill multiple detainees, but he wanted to kill ICE officers.
We have these insurgents, essentially, in Minneapolis, constantly getting in the face of ICE agents who end up getting shot themselves, but very well, this could end in ICE agents being shot.
The entire point is to throw it all into tumult.
We have multiple transgender radicals, and of course, we've had three attempted assassinations of the president that have ended in someone being shot.
And I just can't.
It feels deliberate to me that when Tom Nichols goes out here and just writes Nazi, it is the line the left used in the past stochastic terrorism.
It is the rhetoric that drives unwell people over the edge so that they're going to go grab a gun and try to shoot someone because they're nuts and they take this stuff literally.
Yeah, well said.
And, you know, remember, Tyler Robinson said that some hate you just can't be negotiated out in reference to Charlie.
And just again, I can't.
Underscore enough how much that clip from President Trump just broke my heart watching it.
And I think it's specifically because of our proximity to Charlie that it hit so hard.
Two assassins, would be assassins dead, one in jail for life, and this venom coming from the other side.
We don't know whether this person was a mastermind, unhinged, or what, but they are normalizing this violence.
It's got to stop.
That's Scott Besson, and he's absolutely 100% right.
He himself has been targeted by political violence.
You don't hear as much about it, but I happen to know.
I think it's been reported somewhere.
But listen, in recent years, political violence has become increasingly normalized.
Shifting from a fringe extremist kind of movement to mainstream discourse.
And you don't have to take my word for it.
Just go on TikTok.
Just go on TikTok.
You'll see videos celebrating the targeting of ICE officers all over the place.
You'll see them celebrating going after top Trump administration officials.
It's assassination culture and it glorifies targeted killings as acts of justice against perceived oppressors, which you could just insert MAGA or conservatives.
And it's fueled by social media in these echo chambers.
Mangione, his 2024 assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has been celebrated by segments of the far left as heroic resistance.
Hashtags like FreeLuigi have gained traction with over 50,000 posts, and they call him a hero.
The idolization risks massive amounts of copycat killers.
You just look at this graph.
This graph is, we've brought it up before, and it's so important.
Look at image 31.
This was taken, this poll was taken in the immediate aftermath of Charlie's assassination.
And the question was posed is it ever justified for citizens to resort to violence in order to achieve political goals?
This is the percent responding yes.
In the 18 to 39 group of liberals, 30% said yes, violence was justified.
We have other polls that say almost 50% would suggest the same thing for Elon Musk, and over 50%, 55%, would say the same for President Trump.
There it is.
That's that graphic.
That they think it would be justified to kill those men to achieve a political end.
Since 2025, assaults on ICE officers have skyrocketed 1,800% overall, with vehicular attacks up 3,200%.
Blake mentioned before that.
A gunman shot up an ice facility, didn't kill any ice officers, but he killed a few detainees.
Incidents include attempted murders and protests turning violent.
Charlie's assassination by Tyler Robinson, who cited Charlie's quote unquote hate as his motive, exemplifies far left inspired violence.
Post assassination, some online reactions celebrated it.
Gross, vile, disgusting online celebrations, mirroring Mangione's fandom and fueling lawsuits over free speech crackdowns.
Charlie was assassinated for speaking his mind in the public square.
And what is the point?
The point is they want to strike at the heart of free expression.
And free speech, open discourse.
They want to silence conservative voices.
It's a terrifying escalation and normalization of political violence and assassination culture.
This is why we watch it so closely.
This is why we're going to have our eyes on the Tyler Robinson case this afternoon, just a little bit.
Yeah.
What does this do?
It chills dissent, it heightens threats to public officials.
You have numbers of the Trump administration living.
In military bases in and around DC because they are no longer safe to live in a normal home.
If unchecked, this legitimately could unravel the fabric of democracy, replacing ballots with bullets and dialogue with division, pushing America toward a fractured future where voices are silenced not by votes, but by violence.
This is much worse than the heckler's veto.
This is the assassin's veto, and it must stop.
We have to get to root causes.
And when you see articles like this from The Atlantic, which is a complete joke, which is an intentional provocation, as Blake said earlier, inviting crazy people to take shots at conservatives by calling them all Nazis, the problem is only going to get worse.
It's not going to get better.
This is not a prestige publication, this is a joke of a publication.
That wants conservatives dead.
No, I think I got to push back at you on that one, Andrew.
That's the problem.
It is not a joke publication.
First, he's not joking.
And second, it really is, despite whatever we'd say, a prestige outlet.
Over a million subscribers.
They are one of those very rare bastions that still has a huge amount of the prestige, dignity, whatever you want from half a century ago.
And that is exactly why it's so dangerous.
It's one thing if.
These insane things get written in, I don't know, someone's blog, if it's on a Substack post.
This is one of the rare publications that can blast out an insane take to millions of people and launder it as a legitimate one.
And the stuff he says in the article is just so over the top.
We should highlight some of these.
Throw up 386.
The Department of Homeland Security used an anthem beloved by neo Nazi groups.
By God, we'll have our home again in a recruitment ad.
The Labor Department.
Hung a banner of Donald Trump's face from its headquarters as if Washington were Berlin in 1936.
It posted expressions on social media such as America is for Americans, an obvious riff on the Nazi slogan Germany is for Americans.
How about it's just common sense?
Yes, it's common sense.
It's a repeatedly overriding thing in all of these hysterical takes that they just kind of BS you, whatever you want to say, about what.
You can tell what your grade is.
It's obviously not insane to say America should look out for Americans.
America should be for Americans.
So they have to just say, well, it's a Nazi slogan.
It's a Nazi slogan to say that.
America Should Be For Americans 00:02:54
You don't want to be a Nazi, do you?
And then in the article, he has to cover for the fact that he's like, well, yeah, the left, we've lionized Angela Davis, a college professor who helped murder a judge.
We all partied with Bill Ayers, a terrorist who mailed bombs to the military and to Congress.
But that's different.
Our terrorism's okay.
I think he gives up the.
The real story here in 385, this image.
Critics of the GOP have long argued, they've long argued, something like the Trump movement and the emergence of a new American Nazism was inevitable.
That conservatism as a belief system inevitably decays into fascism.
So, this is their core ideology.
And this is why you see these unhinged reactions across the Atlantic, by the way, to the rise of conservative populist movements like MAGA, because they believe that it's a runaway train that they must stop.
By not just punching a Nazi, by killing a Nazi.
And make no mistake, that is the through line.
That if force was justified to take out Hitler and the Third Reich in Germany, well, then force is justified to kill conservatives here because it inevitably decays into fascism.
This is their fear.
They stay up at night thinking that all of you watching this right now are Nazis, that I'm a Nazi, that we're all fascists.
And so why not just take out a gun and shoot one of us?
They've done it before and they're going to do it again.
Folks, let me tell you something straight up.

Chip Roy, great congressman from the state of Texas, running for attorney general in the state of Texas.
Welcome back to the show, sir.
Great to be on, fellas.
Hope you're doing well.
Organized Marxist Left Targets Us 00:10:46
Thank you.
Yeah, well, you know, to be honest, and I'd love for you to chime in on this, Chip.
There's, it's just, you know, we spent the first two seconds of the show going over this ridiculous article from the Atlantic on assassinate, or calling everybody Nazis.
That is the conservative Nazis, fascists, also.
And I just can't help but make the connection that they want conservatives dead.
The dehumanizing rhetoric, this assassination attempt again against President Trump, please, Congressman.
Well, as you all know, because you all had witness testimony participate, we had a hearing in the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, which I chair, to address this topic.
And one of the things I did immediately after the brutal murder of Charlie was to call on a special select committee, which so many of my member colleagues had joined with me in that call.
And we haven't done it yet.
But I think we need to be very focused on the flow of the money and the organized effort by the radical Marxist left to target conservatives, to target Christians to target our Judeo Christian values, all in an intentional way to foment that hatred and divide us, which then puts a specific target on our key conservative leaders, whether it was President Trump, whether it was Charlie, whether it was, as we had, and you know, Tony Perkins,
whose Family Research Council was targeted about a decade ago and shot up when the Southern Poverty Law Center made very clear and put them on their hate map list.
And now that I'm daring to co chair the Sharia Free America Caucus that I co founded with Keith Self, my fellow Texan.
Now, CARE is putting us on a hate list.
I can't remember what it's called, but somehow, you know, I'm now a hater because I believe we should stand up on our Judeo Christian values and defend those against the Islamification of the country.
Now, I just touched on a lot of issues, but the main one is the organized effort by the Marxist left that is well funded, it's purposeful, and they are putting targets on us and using rhetoric intentionally to raise that temperature.
You're 100% right, Congressman, and I'm absolutely sick of it.
I've been sick of it.
Charlie was sick of it.
He called it out.
He warned about it.
He lost his life because we're not taking this seriously.
And our colleagues on the other side of the aisle, as we like to say, continue to call us fascist Nazis and putting us on hate lists.
This was SPLC put Turning Point on its hate map, Image 27.
And I mean, you sort of wonder does this contribute to this cycle of violence?
And it's coming from the left.
And I'm so sick of hearing about how we have a violence problem on both sides.
Maybe we do.
Maybe it's rising on the right, and we're going to see it emerge.
But right now, it's coming from the left to the right.
And I'm just sick of it.
I know this isn't why we had you on the show today, sir, but I'm grateful for your input.
It's just, it's got to stop.
No, I'll talk about whatever issue you all want to talk about.
We can talk about the State of Union address.
We can talk about Sharia law.
But really, this is the central issue.
Okay.
All of the issues that we're going to address as conservatives, as God fearing Americans, all go through this central issue that they are an organized bunch of Marxists who want to undermine our country.
That's it.
Like what Charlie, you know, when I go out on the campaign trail, I talk about a number of things about Charlie.
And by the way, I'm careful.
Charlie was a good friend in the political circles.
I don't go around masquerading like he and I were best buds, but talk about responsive.
Like I would text Charlie, hey, what's going on?
Our last substantive conversation was about the Islamification of America and the West.
But when I talk about Charlie, I say two things.
One, he wasn't afraid to call out that organized bunch of Marxists and the extent to which they are organized against us.
And two, and most importantly, it wasn't the freedom shirt, respectfully.
It wasn't talking about limited government and constitution, all great things, all important.
It was that he was going to college campuses and proclaiming the gospel of Christ.
And I want to stop and hold there for a second because nothing else matters.
The freedom that we're talking about, the ability to carry out our lives according to our conscience, none of that matters if we're not proclaiming the gospel of Christ.
And we get wrapped around our American axle and we hide behind the First Amendment to say that we don't talk about those things.
Charlie talked about those things.
TPUSA leads on those things.
Keep doing it.
It is central.
And that organized Marxist left.
It's all biblical.
The advance of the Islamification, that's all biblical.
We are at war.
We are at war in this world, and it is a predicted war.
We need to gird our loins for that battle, and we need to be proud of it.
We need to be defensive of our families, our heritage, and our community, and who we are as Americans, and what that's meant for the world, and why Sharia law is bad, and why the Islamification of America would destroy all that is good and great about Western civilization and what America means for it.
So, sorry for that little bit of a rant, but That's so central to everything.
Congressman, I just want to say quickly that you've always been very gracious in the way you talk about Charlie, and Charlie and you were great friends, and he believed in you and he had your back.
You came on the show constantly with Charlie, and I'm grateful that you come on the show with us.
You have helped make the Islamification of Texas a massive issue in that primary season, in that state.
Why is this happening?
We've talked about this before, but can we get brass tacks?
Like, who the heck's funding this crap?
Like, who's green lighting it?
Who's hiding behind whatever law or statute?
Why can't we make this stop in a proud red state of Texas?
Well, we can if we choose to.
And I'm proud to co chair the Sharia Free America Caucus with Keith Self.
I've introduced legislation to take away the tax status for care.
I introduced legislation to vet people for their adherence to Sharia law.
And I've introduced legislation to pause all immigration until we do those things and other things to get our house in order.
In terms of who we are as Americans, we have 51.5 million foreign born people.
That's 16% of the population.
That's the highest percentage we've ever had.
We froze immigration in the 1920s.
We should do it again.
But to answer your question, Texas has three or four key problems.
Number one, Texas is suffering from a failure by the federal government to secure the border, both from an illegal immigration standpoint, but importantly, legal immigration.
We've allowed the abuse of H 1B visas, of so called diversity visas, of the SIV issues with respect to Afghanistan.
And all of these things to bring loads of people into our country post 9 11 who are Islamists.
Number two, Texas, with all due respect to our current leadership, has sold itself to the corporate establishment in Texas that wants labor.
And they hide behind saying, we need, quote, skilled labor.
But the truth is, they're just importing people that do not adhere to our values.
And at some point, you've got to defend Texas.
And as attorney general, my message to a lot of the business leaders is, I'm going to defend the state of Texas and our value system as much as I am the needs for businesses to have labor.
Let's make sure we're building our labor from within and make sure we defend our values.
But I think those two things wide open borders, a loose legal immigration system on issues bringing people in from countries that are Islamic centric, and then businesses driving the agenda in Texas has driven so many people into the state of Texas, again, plus the open border.
I completely agree.
Part of it is a federal issue with this mass immigration.
We're still doing 1.2 million.
Million green cards a year, okay?
And a lot of this is visa, lottery, a lot of this is family reunification.
We're importing the third world still, even with the border closed, and we're not addressing it.
Secondly, I do agree Texas is beholden to corporate interests.
It just is.
You go around that state, and developers are running roughshod.
So something's got to give.
Speaking of Texas, though, Congressman, you surprised me.
You have spoken out on the Brandon Herrera race.
Explain why you chose to do that and why now.
So two years ago, at the very end of the primary in May, I endorsed Brandon Herrera.
I know Brandon, and he loves freedom.
He's a big Second Amendment guy.
We met, we visited.
And frankly, I probably should have endorsed him sooner, but it's tough.
It's tough when you, you know, with your delegation in Texas, you know, we usually don't endorse against each other.
But with all due respect, Tony had been against us on so many issues.
HR 2, HR 29, my bill, I won't get into the weeds, but he was a thorn in our side when we were trying to secure the border.
So, I ultimately endorsed Brandon.
He came within 150 votes or so of winning that primary.
And I wish he had.
And then I, you know, look, you come back together, you work with your colleagues.
I was inclined to support Brandon, but because I'm running statewide in Texas, I've largely stayed out of primaries, right?
It's just not that advised.
If you're running statewide, especially, you know, when you're first running statewide, to go jump in a bunch of primaries.
But this one mattered.
And then when the news was breaking about Tony, we've known some of these things that were out there, but they're rumors, and you got to give People do process.
You don't jump to conclusions based on what's put out on social media.
But enough smoke tells me there's fire.
And we need a standard bearer for Texas 23 who can hold that seat.
And we need a God fearing, strong conservative.
And I think Brandon fits that bill.
So yesterday, I think I called on Tony to step out of the race and I endorsed Brandon.
I think I was the first Texan and one of the first in the Congress to do it.
And, you know, I haven't yet called on him to resign because I think due process matters.
I think you got to like.
Get authenticity of information and all of that.
And I think it's dangerous.
For example, this Florida woman, Democrat, who's indicted, I haven't called on her to resign yet either, even though she probably should.
But, you know, I think you got to let due process play out.
Sorry, I didn't mean to filibuster that.
No, no, no.
You're great.
And we want to talk about the cartels.
You've been leading on that issue too, Congressman.
There's so much there.
Please, everybody go to chiproy.com, check out his campaign, get behind him like Charlie was behind him.
We think you're going to do a great job, Congressman, as Attorney General in Texas.
And we'll have you back on again soon.
Much news to discuss.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks, guys.
Appreciate y'all.
Thanks for the support and the endorsement.
God bless.
God bless you.
Hi, folks.
Andrew Colvett here.
I'd like to tell you about my friends over at Y Refi.
Let Due Process Play Out 00:07:27
You've probably been hearing me talk about Y Refi for some time now.
We are all in with these guys.

Just go to whyrefi.com.
That's the letter Y, then refi.com.
And remember, whyrefi doesn't care what your credit score is.
Just go to whyrefi.com and tell them your friend Andrew sent you.
So I do have breaking news from the Tyler Robinson trial.
Blake, and you've been following this along with us.
So, there was a motion by the defense to dismiss the prosecutor because one of the prosecution's team, other prosecutors on the team, had a daughter there.
And apparently, they moved to disqualify the entire prosecution because of this.
A motion, if accepted, would have delayed this trial enormously.
I think it's difficult to overstate that.
And the court has now denied the motion, which is great news.
For justice.
Yes, it was just, it was a big delaying effort.
It was kind of a Hail Mary.
You'd force out all the prosecutors in the office.
Then they would have to send it to either the AG's office or a different county.
You delay it for months.
You muddle the case more.
You drive people more into a frenzy about things.
Because as we've said, the best counter to a lot of the wild things we've seen online that we've seen in our own inboxes that we've seen on X is people want justice for what happened.
They need to see the process playing out.
And it's been so frustrating to people.
Seeing how glacial things are moving.
It's been frustrating to us, above all.
We're constantly asking okay, when is there finally going to be a journey?
When is there finally going to be a trial?
They were trying to drag it out even further.
And very thankfully, the judge did rule against this motion.
So that means we're going to at least stay on the schedule that we'd set before.
So here's the actual language.
The court now reads its ruling.
We're getting video just breaking, which will be made available and posted later today.
Before the court defends its motion to disqualify Utah County Attorney's Office, defendant argues that high level prosecutor assigned to this case has a concurrent conflict of interest.
And because no efforts were made to screen him, the entire office should be disqualified.
Again, this is coming from the defense.
This is a judge ruling.
Because defendant has not established a factual basis for finding conflict of interest or objective appearance of impropriety, Rising to a constitutional concern.
His motion is respectfully denied.
So, as we looked, so this was a big one that we marked on the calendar to see if this case was going to get delayed or if the speedy trial promise that we are afforded, well, in his case, as the defendant, was actually going to be met.
But yes, to Blake's point, this was a delay tactic.
It has been denied by the court, so we're grateful there.
So, next landmarks to keep an eye on, we are all eyes on May.
May is going to be the big month, and that is going to be the preliminary hearing where the prosecution team, which will now stay in place, is going to present the mountain of evidence that they have accumulated over the course of these months against Tyler Robinson.
I'm told a lot of this is evidence that you have not seen or heard before.
Some of it was in the original charging documents, but there is going to be additional evidence.
And, you know, I just hearken back to the words of Jonathan Turley.
Who reviewed this case and said that if 90%, if the defense was successful in getting rid of 90% of the evidence against Tyler Robinson, he'd still be found guilty and subject to capital punishment for his crime.
And so to think that you could lose 90% of what we already know exists, still get a guilty verdict, but then there's even more that they haven't yet made public, mountains more potentially, is a very, I guess, comforting thought as we.

Blake, I don't know if you have any other thoughts on this matter, but it's a big moment.
It's just a genuine mercy.
We're very happy to see it.
I think we can't talk about it as much for obvious reasons, but it's trying for us to observe it.
It causes us a lot of stress to see updates like this, and we do have to trust the process.
It's good when the process plays along and shows you what you want to see, which is this sort of thing.
And we are loaded.
We have the clip 404.

Because defendant has not established a factual basis for a finding of conflict of interest or an objective appearance of impropriety rising to a constitutional concern, his motion is respectfully denied.
Good.
And I guess they're moving to a death penalty discussion upcoming, so we're going to continue monitoring that.
But this is, I feel like, been a really important show, actually.
You sometimes wake up in the morning and you don't know which ones are going to be important.
When I saw that, I think they're all important, but some are more so.
But when I saw that clip from President Trump, it was this moment of vulnerability from the commander in chief ahead of what's typically considered.
The most or one of the most important addresses to the nation on the calendar.
And so he's going to talk about, you know, the economy, the wins, focus on domestic tranquility and success.
And overshadowing so much of this conversation tonight is this idea that the left wants political violence exacted upon its political enemies, conservatives, MAGA.
God bless Chip Roy for addressing it in committee, but more work needs to be done.
This needs to be rooted out at a very deep level.
It stole our friend from us, the host of this show, whose name is still on this show.
It has almost taken President Trump's life, countless others in the administration.
