Time Text
So in a in a an all of branch of unity here, will you promise me you will stop comparing Trump and his administration to World War II, Nazi Germany who killed millions of people to stop the radicalization of people in this country?
Will you promise me you'll do that in an olive branch of unity?
I'm just saying there is me you'll stop doing that.
I'm saying that we the people should like unify and realize that like bad things.
So let's start that right now.
So more bad is going to happen.
Yes.
I don't think ICE is doing a good job at all.
That's fine, but admit with me here, and we'll leave it on this.
Maybe a point of unity between you and I. They are not operating as Trump's Gestapo and sending people to death camps like Auschwitz.
It's just it's there's similarities, and I don't like the vibe.
Personally, I don't get the I get that no one deserves to be shot.
Obviously, I condemn political violence like that.
I didn't agree with him personally at all.
Okay.
Like I think a lot of the things he said would be considered hate speech.
I'm not a fan of that.
Obviously, like no one deserves to be shot.
Yeah.
And there is a lot of political violence as of recent, but I'd say it's more of a gun issue in America.
Um mental health for sure.
So you think it's uh we'll go Charlie Kirk style here.
What is hate speech?
Um anything that could promote violence to certain groups of people, especially those like minority groups.
And he engaged in that?
I would say so, yeah.
Okay.
Could you give me any examples that back that up?
Um I think a recent example, he was talking about the October 7th attack.
And uh he was saying like I don't know the exact quote, but it was like, oh, like these stupid Muslims.
I'm pretty sure he said that.
Yeah.
So I've never heard that.
I would love stupid Muslims.
I think he said that.
I would love for you to honestly, if you have the time, I would love to see that.
I would love for you to pull that up.
Do you know the context and and what he what you said?
What did he say that for?
October 7th.
Okay.
Oh, the stupid Muslims.
Yeah.
Okay, and you think saying stupid Muslims is kind of inciting people to violence?
I think this is the dehumanization that we see of a lot of minority groups, especially from the right wing that can lead to political violence in that like nature.
Okay.
Do you think that there's any political violence or political rhetoric that leads to violence on the left?
I mean, it could be, but it's far less.
Um, trying to remember there was like a DOJ investigation that I think the Trump administration actually deleted that was saying like the vast majority of political violence is on the right wing.
Obviously, it can happen on both sides, but Do you have any exam because you have examples for it happening on the right and you're pointing to Charlie for one of those examples?
Can you point to any examples where it's happening on the left where they're rhetoric?
Because I can, and I I can share that with you and you see if you agree with me.
I mean, I I bet you do have it.
And obviously, again, political violence is a problem, and I condemn it on either side.
I'm just saying like the vast majority is on the right.
And I think it was also saying that um on average more people are killed, like in these attacks on the right, like a m a larger majority on the right.
Yeah, so I I know that study, and I think that um you can kind of twist the numbers to see what you're trying to look for.
Because if you take out like the the big crazies and how many people they um they hurt, it actually goes skews towards the left.
So statistics can always be skewed to who you want to point out.
I do want to mention though that um a lot of the rhetoric from the left has been calling Trump and his supporters Nazis, saying that Trump is implementing concentration camps.
I mean that Alcatraz, and you're like, uh, I mean But it's not a concentration camp and people aren't being rounded up because they're brown, and that's what they're telling people.
That radicalizes people.
Would you agree that if you were to completely lie About what's going on and scare people that Trump is Hitler, that the ICE agents or Gestapo, that people are being rounded up because of their skin color, and that women are being stripped away from their rights and they won't be able to vote, and Project 2025 is coming to town here soon.
That radicalizes people because those are lies.
And to compare Trump and everything he does to Hitler and the Nazis, that radicalizes people because that is a scary, scary thought to have.
I think but it is true that there is a lot there's fascism growing in America and it is coming from Trump and the administration.
I would say that.
So are you engaging in hate speech?
Because what you're saying radicalize people, and that kind of rhetoric can lead to violence, and that's what you said hate speech is.
But I'm not advocating for political violence to happen to the the right wing flank.
I'm not saying that.
So there needs to be um unity, but I don't have to be able to do that.
How can there be unity when you're gonna fire?
How can you say that there can be unity when you're telling me that the person that I voted for is like Hitler and that Alligator Alcatraz, which is just a a temporary detainment center for illegal aliens caught in this country, is like a death camp.
And like Auschwitz, you know that's not happening, right?
But I would say memorial, and you see Trump saying I hate my opponents, that's not gonna unify anyone, that's just gonna cause more tension between the left and the right, and we're gonna be able to do that.
That was a joke.
That's so why do you know the context of the joke?
Did you watch the whole memorial service?
Not the whole memorial, but I've seen a lot of it.
Well, I want to go back to your definition of hate speech.
Who is that Nazi uh Goebbels, I believe.
That Nazi?
Yeah, Goebbels, Joseph Goebbels, I think is his name, where his the Stephen Miller speech was very similar.
So there we go again with that type of rhetoric, comparing everybody in the Trump administration to Nazis.
The uh horse vessel speech he did was very similar to the You know what Nazis do on a certain political side, they shoot their opponents to silence them, and they engrave things that they were radicalized with, like, hey fascist catch, or anti-ICE on a bullet that they go and try to uh copy cat another insane psycho leftist terrorist to try and kill more people that are uh on the right side.
There is very dangerous rhetoric that leads to radicalization when you tell people this.
You and I both know, and I'm just gonna talk to you person to person here, man to woman.
I don't think you're stupid.
You know that ICE detention centers are not death camps.
You know Trump is not Hitler.
You know there is no Gestapo in this country.
You know women aren't losing their right to vote, and you know no one is going around rounding up people like they did in Nazi Germany.
And I would appreciate if you quit spreading that lie about me, my friends, and my president, because it's getting us hurt.
So please stop doing it.
I'm just saying it's a slippery slope, and we need unity in this country, and I don't think either side is really doing a good job.
I don't think the Democratic Party is doing a really good job, but definitely not.
I don't think we're gonna find unity in the right wing either.
So not if you keep calling us Nazis and saying that the violence committed against us is you know, well, that's not really hate speech.
You said hate speech is when it leads to violence against a minority group or attacks a minority group or something like that.
Number one, hate speech doesn't exist.
That's not true, it's not even a legal definition that doesn't exist.
Just because you hate speech doesn't mean that it's hate speech.
Does that make sense?
And trying to tell me, and you believe this, and you probably tell your friends, and you might even write it on social media that Trump supporters are all these terrible things and likeness to Nazis, you're getting us hurt.
Trump supporters, there's a lack of education in this country, and I think it's just there's a problem, and like I think they're just misinformed, and I think it's more of I don't think it's left or right, it's more like upper class, lower class, and I think we need to find unity in that rather than yeah, this isn't what is the saying, like I think it was Obama or something.
It was like this isn't a like red America, this isn't a blue America, it's the United States of America.
So, in a in a an all of branch of unity here, will you promise me you will stop comparing Trump and his administration to World War II, Nazi Germany who killed millions of people to stop the radicalization of people in this country?
Will you promise me you'll do that in an olive branch of unity?
I'm just saying there is well, you promise me you'll stop doing that.
I'm saying that we the people should like unify and realize that like bad things.
So let's start.
So let's start that right now.
So more bad is going to happen.
Yes.
How do you know that?
Because, like, I mean, look what's happening.
Like leftists can't just admit that they've been lying with their rhetoric and radicalizing people into committing acts of violence.
I mean, but the case.
I'm asking you right now to just stop doing that.
They set the standard of violence basically.
Why is there so much violence when a Republican is in office and it's mostly committed by the other side?
Just in the last just in 2025, there's been like 30 attacks on just ICE agents and ICE facilities.
I mean, you don't think it's a problem.
Do you not see the correlation when we have a ton of people, media talking heads, just normal people like you posting on social media, people going viral?
So I'm just saying normal people like you.
When they're out here saying that ICE is a gestapo, they're like Nazi Germany.
They're out here rounding up people just because they're brown, they're killing people, sending them to concentration camps, and then someone tries to shoot up an ice facility with anti-ICE written on the bullet.
You tell me there's no correlation.
You haven't heard about that?
I did hear about it, but I literally just saw like a video last night.
I was finishing an essay for like school.
So I didn't see too much about it.
But I don't like ice.
I don't think they're doing a good job.
I don't think we should have mass deportations.
The m the vast majority of Americans believe we should have mass like amnesty rather than that.
So I just don't think I don't agree with ICE.
Obviously, no one deserves again, no one deserves to be shot and killed for that, obviously, but I don't think ICE is doing a good job at all.
That's fine, but admit with me here, and we'll leave it on this.
Maybe a point of unity between you and I. They are not operating as Trump's Gestapo and sending people to death camps like Auschwitz.
It's just it's there's similarities, and I don't like the vibe.
I'm I'm vibing.
That type of rhetoric is hurting people, and I just did a video actually talking about how young people are believing these things, and none of it's true.
None of it's true.
It's a temporary holding facility where they have medical care, they have beds, they have pillows.
They have lawyers.
I mean and then they go home.
What death camp in Auschwitz actually sends people home?
Where did that happen?
I mean, but we're seeing um No, tell me when did that happen?
When did Auschwitz decide to go ahead and send people back to their country so they could go home to their families?
That's not my own.
That's not my question.
When did Hitler let the people in Auschwitz go home?
Have you seen Caught?
It's you're not answering my question.
When did Hitler let the people in the concentration camps go home?
They didn't.
They didn't.
But in Alligator Alcatraz, that's literally sending people home.
They're saying we're giving you a free ride to go home.
They're not being forced into labor.
They're not being killed, they're not being gassed.
You know that.
Stop saying that stuff.
You're getting us hurt.
Very similar and Hispanics and uh I cannot believe this.
Palestinian voices getting hurt by this, and this is dangerous rhetoric.
Like, this is not unifying anyone.
That's this is all I'm saying.
Well, you know, the only thing we have left to do is to pray for you.
And that's what we will all do watching this.
We will pray for you.
Pray for you to stop that rhetoric that gets people hurt because that is not true.
And you know it.
You can dislike ice, but you gotta stop saying that wild stuff because it's getting people shot.
And in fact, that rhetoric got an illegal alien shot.
It didn't even shoot any uh ice agents and killed them.
It killed an illegal alien.
So your guys' rhetoric is literally hurting the people at that ice facility.
That you claim to care so much about.
You're hurting yourselves by lying about this stuff, and I wish you would stop because it's not good for anybody.
Have a good day.
