dave rubin
I don't know if the glue that they are putting their eyelashes on is seeping into your brain, but you are an idiot.
You just beheaded that guy?
unidentified
You're supposed to give head that behind January 6th.
dave rubin
That was the day that I had just switched over.
I've been doing eggs with olive oil.
I switched back to real butter that morning.
And then I was watching TV and people were freaking out because a few people with a Lego set or something showed up at the Capitol.
unidentified
Uh anyway, let's talk about boner pills for a minute and then we'll move on the other time.
best defense is you shoot that mother in the head if they enter your home.
dave rubin
All right, hello everybody.
Do not adjust your devices.
Yes, we are in a different studio.
That's right.
I'm still Dave Rubin.
This still is the Rubin Report, but we are in Longboat Key here at Rumble Studios.
Uh, because of yesterday's uh big Charlie event in Phoenix, I ended up coming back uh with Chris Pavlovsky and the Rumble team, and we came here instead of going to Miami, so we are live.
Uh I'm gonna tell you a bit more about this studio and how it's directly connected uh to Charlie in just a sec, but real quick, that promo there, of course, was for our Australia tour, so we'll do a little housekeeping up top.
If you want to get tickets to see me in Australia, it's Dave Rubin.com slash events.
And also today we just relaunched Copal.
We actually have had it in the warehouse ready to go uh for over a week, but in light of the Charlie situation, I just didn't want to do any promo or anything last week.
But if you would like to get the best tequila you will ever have, drink copal dot com.
And thank you for your patience on the restock and all that stuff.
So uh before I dive into obviously recapping yesterday's event and and in truly, truly, truly uh being at the memorial service for Charlie yesterday was one of the most impactful, meaningful days, moments of my life.
I I've never experienced anything like that.
It was spiritual, it was political, it was it was deeply meaningful.
Like deeply deeply meaningful.
And we're gonna show you some of the speeches, of course, but just to be there, and I was just I was right up front with all with all the usual cast characters, uh, and just looking in people's eyes and saying hello to people, and you know, there were tears, there were laughs, there was pain, there was joy.
It was it was extraordinary.
And there were about a hundred thousand people that packed the stadium.
And on the way there, uh, we I took a car with uh with Sage Steele and a couple other people, and we were on the way, and and to get, you know, what was equivalent of just maybe five or six miles, it took us about two and a half hours.
There were people walking down the highway in the Phoenix 90 plus degree heat.
I mean, it was just an absolutely incredible day.
So but before we get into that, I just want to tell you a bit about this studio and the connection that it had uh to Charlie because we are here in Longboat Key, which is Rumble headquarters.
Uh and obviously I'm connected to Rumble not only through doing the show as we do it right now, but of course, created locals and we merged and all of those good things.
Uh and actually there is, and I think we have a picture of it right upstairs, the Dave Rubin boardroom.
That's right.
I actually have a boardroom, which is probably the most adult thing that I've ever accomplished in my entire life.
That's pretty cool.
Uh but to keep this about Charlie for a moment.
Charlie actually picked out this very building.
He came here years ago uh with Chris, and Charlie had a house in Longboat Key, and he said, This is the place, Chris.
Chris was up and rumble headquarters were up in Toronto.
They wanted to, let's say, extricate themselves a little bit from Canada and what's been going on there.
They came down to the free state of Florida during COVID, and Charlie said, Hey, let's look at a couple of places.
They walked into this building, which I I was at also when it was in complete disrepair.
And they saw the view, and Charlie was the one that convinced Chris.
He said, This is where you want to build headquarters, and this is where it was built, and uh and it's deeply connected.
And Charlie was huge in the beginnings of Rumble and its success and all of those things.
So Charlie, you're you're still with us today in more ways than one.
So let's let's just dive right in.
The memorial yesterday, as I said in Phoenix, it was it was it was extraordinary.
It was extraordinary.
And I and I know you know that because I know that most of you probably at least watched a portion, and it was viewed by millions and millions of people, but to be in that room was incredible.
Uh so let's start.
There were there were about I would say 15 speeches started at about 11 a.m., ended at about 5 p.m. with President Trump.
Obviously, Erica Kirk was the most emotional and impactful, I would say.
Uh, but let's start with uh Trump talking about how the media was celebrating Charlie's death, and that what Charlie really cared about is the thing that I know you know he cared about, which was open debate, and in some sense that's the thing they fear most.
donald j trump
Over the last 11 days, we have heard stories of commentators, influencers, and others in our society who greeted his assassination with sick approval, excuses or even jubilation.
You've heard that.
So have I, couldn't believe it.
Some of the very same people who spent the last eight years trying to sit in moral judgment of anyone who disagreed with them about politics, suddenly started cheering for a murder.
Incredible.
You know the names.
unidentified
They're uh major losers, by the way.
donald j trump
Some of the very people who call you a hater for using the wrong pronoun were filled with Lee at the killing of a father with two beautiful young children.
And the same commentators who this week are screaming fascism over a canceled late-night TV show where the anchor had no talent and no ratings.
Last week were implying that Charlie Kirk deserved what happened to him.
If speech is violence, then some are bound to conclude that violence is justified to stop speech.
And we're not gonna let that be justified.
The tradition of reason and open debate that Charlie practiced is not a pillar of our democracy in many ways.
It's the basis of our entire society.
It's the right and inheritance of every free American, the greatest legacy of the enlightenment, and among the most treasured achievements of civilization.
dave rubin
There were I've said this a bunch lately, but I really think Trump was at his best yesterday.
You know, it was interesting because they had Charlie's pastor speak.
They had an awful lot of people that talked about all sorts of Charlie's deep religious beliefs and all sorts of things, which we'll get to in a moment.
And Trump, obviously, that's not really Trump's angle.
Trump's angle, of course, is politics, and he's the president of the United States, and he does the culture war stuff.
But you could see what Trump was doing that just nobody does like he does, which is he's obviously reading the prepared speech off the prompter, but then he gets in there with his little funny remarks, and we'll have more in just a second.
And and it was a relief.
That's the thing.
You know, it was so it was so emotional there yesterday, and you could just feel it like everybody.
I kind of do right now.
Like everyone just had tears just right behind their eyes, like right ready to go.
And Trump just had a way of saying some funny, kind of silly, offhanded things that offered a relief at the end of it, which was just so important.
And of course, you know, he is right.
The line that I really like there, these people have told us that words are violence for years.
And the irony is they don't seem to think that violence is violence.
But you guys know this.
If you run around, if you run around for a decade or more, and in the education system, they tell you that these people are all Nazis and they're all fascists and all these things.
And then you're getting that online, and then the mainstream media is doing it all day long, and then the online media, the left portion of the online media is doing it too.
And then you confuse a young person and tell them that their genitals don't match their sex and all of those things.
You're you're just creating the stew for something horrible to happen.
And of course, Trump was also addressing just the fact that there's been this uh for lack of a better term, there's been a sort of celebration Around Charlie's death, or at the very least, an excuse of it.
You know, well, I didn't agree with him, but nobody.
It's like, no, we we've got to get past this.
That's the lowest common denominator stuff, like the the qualification of, oh, he shouldn't have been killed, but it's the lowest common denominator stuff.
We cannot keep doing that.
Uh, when I mentioned that that Trump brought in some of the funny stuff along with the the emotional stuff and the powerful stuff and the political stuff, I I really, really enjoyed this moment.
donald j trump
He did not hate his opponents.
He wanted the best for them.
That's where I disagreed with Charlie.
I hate my opponent.
And I don't want the best for them.
I'm sorry.
I am sorry, Erica.
But now Erica can talk to me and the whole group, and maybe they can convince me that that's not right, but I can't stand my opponent.
Charlie's angry.
Look at that.
He's angry at me then.
He wasn't interested in demonizing anyone.
He was interested in persuading everyone to the ideas and principles he believed were good, right, and true.
Before each appearance, he prayed these words.
God used me for your will.
Always said the same thing.
Use me for your will.
Asked for advice.
Charlie replied, the left, the left.
I call it the radical left.
I call it sometimes the radical left lunatics.
But Charlie didn't say that.
He called it the left.
He was probably right, but I can't help it.
dave rubin
I mean, he I'm laughing again because he was, it was just great.
You know, look, we were at like a religious revival yesterday.
That's what this felt like.
So there was there was a lot of talk about Jesus.
There was a lot of talk about belief and faith and all of those things.
And then Trump comes up, and everyone knows that's not exactly his strong suit, let's say.
And and he he's able to make something funny out of something horrifically tragic.
And that really is the magic of him.
To say, well, I call them the radical left lunatics.
Charlie just called the left, and he's looking down and he's angry at me now.
Like that's him just working it through in his own brain.
And it like it like released some pressure in the room.
I think you probably felt that if you were if you were at home.
And then, of course, the part where he says, you know, I I what does he say?
I hate my opponents.
Charlie didn't hate him.
And think about this.
That was that was five minutes after Erica Kirk had just gone on stage and forgiven the shooter, which we're going to show you in just a second.
That's the next clip.
But think, but think about that's Trump just being Trump.
And that in some sense is what the magic of politics is.
It's the magic of what Trump is, I would say, because he's able to say the real thing.
The real thing was the prepared words on the script about how great Charlie was and what Charlie was trying to do and why people went after Charlie.
But then he's also able to do the human thing, which is he doesn't fake who he is.
He never think about that.
Most of whom believers within within the Charlie sense of believing.
That's not really Trump.
And by the way, Don Jr. did a very similar thing.
But he shows you that he's real.
And that that is incredible.
And by the way, that's also to the strong suit of what Charlie.
Charlie was always about politics and faith, right?
And Charlie, I think it was almost like a 50-50 thing.
Maybe maybe more with faith, probably, actually.
But Trump, it's the other way.
It's more with politics.
And that's why it was it was just so meaningful.
But of course, by far, not even close.
The most meaningful moment was when Erica Kirk, just what, eight, ten days after the assassination of her husband.
She now does not have a husband.
Her children do not have a father, uh, was when she got on stage and her speech.
I mean, I'm telling you, there was not a dry eye in that room.
I have no idea how she was so composed to do it.
You you could feel something ephemeral in that room.
Uh, and then she did what what people, I think some people thought she might do, but that she got these words out of her mouth, she actually forgave Charlie's murderer.
unidentified
That young man.
That young man.
On the cross, our Savior said.
Father, forgive them for they not know what they do.
That man.
That young man.
I forgive him.
I forgive him because it was what Christ did.
And is what Charlie would do.
The answer to hate is not hate.
The answer we know from the gospel is love and always love.
Love for our enemies.
dave rubin
And love for those who persecuted.
I mean, man, guys, if you don't feel something while watching that, I I don't know what to say.
I mean, really think about it.
We we know that Utah has the death penalty.
He will likely uh there's gonna be some talk about going through with that, regardless of what any of us feel about the death penalty or anything else.
So for her to get up there, she knows the entire world is watching her, and to forgive him.
Well, I'm I'm gonna guess that they're just on the political side.
I'm guessing they're not gonna be going for the death penalty now, because in some sense it would be an affront to the wishes of the wife.
Now, ironically, there's a lot of video talking of Charlie talking about why he believes in the death penalty because you shouldn't care more about the murderer than the family of those who have been murdered.
But I think that's a debate for another day, probably.
The strength of that woman is beyond imagination.
I I've only met her one time.
We sat next to Charlie and and Erica at a wedding a couple years ago.
Only met her once.
Uh I mentioned we were invited to the wedding to their wedding, we couldn't go.
Um, but she is an absolutely extraordinary human being.
I don't know how she did that.
And and also, you didn't know exactly what she was gonna say.
Like I again, I think people kind of thought she was gonna do it, just it because it felt like a religious revival there.
She didn't have to do it.
She just didn't have to say anything either way, right?
But she did do it.
I think it's an important healing moment.
And man, if she can do that, what does that tell you about what we can do with our with our enemies, so to speak?
I want to show you just a quick compilation.
There were there were so many great speeches, uh, but let me show you a quick compilation of JD RFK and uh Pete Heggseth.
unidentified
The evil murderer who took Charlie from us, expected us to have a funeral today, and instead, my friends, we have had a revival in celebration of Charlie Kirk and of his Lord Jesus Christ.
robert f kennedy-jr
And I said to him, there's a lot worse things than death.
And one of those things is if we lost our constitutional rights in this country, and that our children were raised as slaves.
I said to Charlie, I said, sometimes the best consolation we can hope for is that we get to die with our boots on.
Oh, Charlie died with his boots on, and he died so to make sure that we didn't have to undergo those fates that are worse than death.
pete hegseth
Charlie Kirk was a citizen who had the biblical heart of a soldier of the faith who put on every single day the full armor of God with a smile.
dave rubin
So I again I'm sure most of you watched a lot of this, so we didn't want to um just kind of bludgeon you with clips right there, but I thought those through that through those three clips, short clips right there, kind of encapsulate it, right?
So there's there's JD, the vice president of the United States, uh talking about Charlie's faith, right?
His belief in Jesus.
That was a huge component of Charlie, and it was a massive theme throughout the day.
Then Bobby Kennedy comes in and talks about freedom, right?
Like that's what he's talking about.
That Charlie's death was because he stood up for freedom, and and Pete, in essence, Pete Heggseth, in essence, in essence, is synthesizing both of those two.
He was a warrior for freedom, he was a warrior for his faith.
And and that really is the essence of what Charlie was, and I think it's I think it it's also going to be, if not already, the essence of what a future wide-tenth conservative movement is.
And you know, I saw, I saw some people on Twitter, and I know there's some talk about this, like there's this concern that the right is gonna is gonna sort of turn um significantly religious, let's say, right now, and that could exclude a lot of people because it could exclude atheists and humanists, and it couldn't exclude Hindus or Jews or whatever if It's if it's let's say Christianity driven.
I would say at this moment, let's not worry about that.
What I heard in that room was based in freedom.
I didn't hear anyone demanding anyone be converted or not accepted or anything else.
I heard an awful lot about acceptance.
I heard an awful lot about the wide tent.
I saw people like Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard, who five years ago would have never been speaking at a conservatives memorial, right?
So one thing at a time.
And I I just wouldn't worry about that just yet.
Uh of course, Elon Musk also showed up, and uh, well, here's a nice moment.
He was like a foot or two in front of us, and uh that somebody just threw a camera right in his face and and he had this to say.
unidentified
Why was he killed?
He was killed because his voice made a difference.
Because he was showing people the light.
And he was killed by the dark.
Thank you, sir.
dave rubin
Yeah, it's kind of simple.
It kind of sounds like it could have been a line out of Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or something, but it's true.
He was showing people the light.
He was fighting for what he believed in.
He was not a bigot, he was not a racist, he was not any of those things.
That did not mean you had to agree with him on everything philosophically or politically.
But he was going and doing the thing, as I keep saying, he was doing the thing that we all say we're supposed to do.
You're supposed to reach out to the other side.
You're supposed to break bread with people you don't like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
He was doing that more than anyone.
And I include myself in that, and I'm someone that is in the same line of work that tries to do that, right?
And and I have no problem fully admitting that he did it better than anyone else.
There's just no doubt about that.
So it was great to see Elon there.
And then really, as it pertains to Elon, uh, this picture has gone mega viral, because this was really important.
And I think when you talk about forgiveness when you talk about bringing a tent together, uh, take a look at this picture.
This was up in the box, and the crowd went wild when they saw this.
There's a little video of it also going around.
Uh, but there is Trump and Elon, and they shook hands and they nodded at each other.
And Elon posted the picture and said for Charlie, meaning let's put some of this stuff aside.
Yeah, we burned real hot.
We said some things about each other that we probably shouldn't have said.
Uh but if they can come back together, well, wouldn't that be, guys, wouldn't that be it?
Wouldn't that be the great legacy of Charlie Kirk is that he was able to get people that maybe were buddies that had a falling out, or maybe always were kind of on opposite sides, but didn't really hate each other.
Whatever it is, if the legacy is we we're all a little bit better right now because of Charlie, then Charlie is it was a life well worth living, which it undoubtedly was.
We'll have more on some of the people that are perhaps less than enthused about some of us coming together in just a second.
But first, lean.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
dave rubin
one injectable and the science behind it is impressive.
It studied ingredients target weight loss in three powerful ways.
Lean helps maintain healthy blood sugar.
It helps control appetite and cravings and it helps burn fat by converting it into energy.
If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace and keep it off, add lean to your diet and exercise routine, get 20% off when you enter Code Ruben at Takelin.com.
That's code Ruben at Takelin.com.
Unfortunately, now we gotta show you a bit of the Democrat and media reaction, and as you can imagine, it's it's not spectacular.
Uh listen to this from Fox News.
Uh the House of Representatives adopted a resolution to honor the life and legacy of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Friday, just over a week after he was shot and killed during a college campus speaking event in Utah.
The measure got bipartisan support in a 310 to 58 vote, with both Democrats and Republicans having quickly risen to condemn political violence in the wake of Kirk's assassination.
The vote divided Democrats, however, with 95 lawmakers voting to adopt the resolution, 58 voting against it, and 22 not voting at all.
So before I give you my thoughts on that, why don't we throw to Timu Obama himself, the somehow leader of the House Democrats, Hakeem Jeffries, talking about how somehow this resolution was meant to divide Democrats.
hakeem jeffries
Every single House Democrat does not endorse the views espoused by Charlie Kirk in any way, shape, or form.
And every single House Democrat does not endorse political violence against any person at any time for any reason.
And this probably was an attempt by some on the right to try to divide the Congressional Black Caucus or divide House Democrats, and we will continue to be as unified as ever in pushing back against Donald Trump and his extremism.
dave rubin
You see why I call him Timo Obama?
He's just a cheap version of Obama.
Obama, who really has turned out to be just unbelievably awful.
We did plenty on him last week.
But Hakeem, it's like you want to be him and you're also nothing.
You are you are a m uh a shell in a suit.
That's it.
Yes, the idea of the resolution was to divide Democrats.
How about Democrats how about imagine Democrats?
Imagine Democrats if you had all just voted for the resolution to condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Imagine if you had just all done it.
You think, you know what?
I know what would happen, actually.
I would have read that.
I would have shown you a video of it of the vote, and I would have said, you know what?
I am shocked.
I am shocked, but I am pleased that the Democrats did the right thing.
They don't normally do it, but in this case, something so profoundly horrific has happened that has altered, I would say, the future of the United States of America and maybe even the world, and the Democrats saw it, they looked into the abyss, and then suddenly the abyss showed them something, and they were like, okay, let's do the right thing.
But instead, he frames it as a way that the Republicans were trying to split the Democrats.
Basically, 60 Democrats don't vote for it.
And then of course it's the televised mental institution known as MSNBC, where contractually he's obligated to blame Trump at the end of every sentence.
Her name's Ilhan Omar from Minnesota.
Uh, and here she is talking to Caitlin Collins on CNN, where she refuses to not only apologize about some of her comments for Charlie, she she then says something that is one of the most disgusting things I've actually I've ever heard on CNN, which that's uh we should send this woman a cake or something.
kaitlan collins
I just think it was the video um where it it called him Dr. Frankenstein and said his monster shot him through the neck.
I mean, obviously this is a person, and and looking at this, this is someone who was a husband and a father, and in the days after his shocking death, um, that happened as a result of of his views or or happened as a result is he was sharing uh his views publicly with people, uh, that people found it jarring to to hear such criticism of that in the immediate aftermath of the case.
ilhan omar
What I what I find jarring is that there's so many people willing to excuse the most reprehensible things that he said, that they agree with that, that they're willing to have monuments for him, that they want to create a day to honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions in the House of Congress, um, honoring his life and legacy.
Uh, it is one thing to care about his life, because obviously so many people uh loved him, including his children and wife.
But I am not going to sit here and um be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind that should be in the dust pen of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed every single day.
dave rubin
I'm actually somewhat speechless.
And in honor of Charlie, I'm not gonna say the couple words that are popping into my brain right now about her.
Um, because although Trump might be willing to do that and hate his opponents, I'm gonna honor you today, Charlie, and just try to take the nicer route.
To say that Charlie should be and Charlie's ideas should be in the dustbin of history is is that's evil.
I don't know what to say beyond that.
Now, you know on our side we don't believe in violence, and we don't need to qualify it when we say that, because it's baked into the code of being an American, that we can accept that people who think differently live in this country.
We can accept it.
They seem unable to be, Whether she should be living in this country due to her marrying her brother.
We'll have more on that in just a second.
Um, but we don't believe in violence, they do, and that she would sh first off, you know what?
She said, she said that um that Charlie, in essence, was killed by his own Frankenstein monster.
The idea that he helped so uh, you know, soil the ground so that some that this kid, this monster who killed him, like it's basically his fault.
That's the story of Frankenstein and Frankenstein's monster, right?
And it's like, no, lady, you did it.
You and the progressives who have confused a generation about their gender identity and radicalize them into all sorts of crazy political positions and hating themselves and hating the country.
You are Dr. Frankenstein in this situation, not Charlie.
Charlie was trying to undo the damage that you guys did.
So again, she just needs a mirror, but uh, we know they're never gonna have it.
And then the dustbin of history thing, you're gonna end up in the dustbin of history, right?
The dustbin of history is people that were here for a little bit that actually are largely irrelevant, that shouldn't have ever had any of the influence that they had, and that's you, Ilhan.
That is not Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk is bigger and stronger today than when he was alive.
So congratulations.
But of course, it's not just, it's not just her.
Uh Lady Eyelashes herself, Jasmine Crockett, listen to this absurd nonsense.
dana bash
There were 58 Democrats who voted against it.
You were one.
unidentified
Yeah.
dana bash
Why?
jasmine crockett
Absolutely.
You know what?
One of the things I do want to point out that's not been laid out that honestly hurts my heart is when I saw the no votes, there were only two Caucasians.
For the most part, the only people they voted no were people of color.
Because the rhetoric that Charlie Kirk continuously put out there was rhetoric that specifically targeted people of color.
So if there was any way that I was gonna honor somebody who decided that they were just gonna negatively talk about me and proclaim that I was somehow involved in the great white replacement, yeah, I'm not honoring that kind of stuff, especially as a civil rights attorney and understanding how I got to Congress, knowing that there were people that died, people that were willing to die that worked to make sure that voices like mine could exist in this place.
So to me, just like we wanted to make sure that those confederate relics were taken down, the idea of a new age relic being propped up was something that I just could not subscribe to.
And it is unfortunate that more of my colleagues, even on my side of the aisle, could not see the amount of harm that this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities.
dave rubin
All right, so because I'm working with this spirit of Charlie today, I'm gonna hold off on Jasmine Crockett for a second and I'm gonna speak directly to you, Dana Bash.
You know I'm not a huge fan of yours.
It seems very odd to me that you're a journalist.
There doesn't seem to be a lot behind your eyes.
You're more of a Democrat activist, most people know that.
But what I might recommend to you as a purported journalist is when someone says something so profoundly absurd, she basically is up there dancing on his grave saying he's racist.
Let's just, let's just cut the crap with that, right?
We know what she's doing there.
Dana, what you might want to do, and even though we stopped the clip right there, she didn't do it.
What you might want to do in the next sentence is say, well, though that's some jarring stuff that you just said right there, Congresswoman.
Can you tell me about the racist policies Charlie Kirk was all about?
Can you tell me about some of those things?
What were the specifics on that?
But you never do that.
Charlie Kirk literally was helping black people leave.
I'm using the word literally figuratively.
He was helping black people wake up from the Democrat plantation.
That is true.
When you vote when a any group, it does not matter black, white, does not matter.
When any group relentlessly and almost exclusively to the tune of 90 plus percent always votes for a certain party, the party then owes them nothing.
Charlie started to wake up people to that.
He started to break the black community's vote so that they started to go towards MAGA.
And we know in the last election, more black men voted for a Republican president than ever in history.
And what Jasmine and the Democrats want, they want a docile, dependent group of black people that they can basically offer crumbs to every now and again.
If the Democrats cared about you so much, then wouldn't things get better for you when the Democrats Are in office.
The Republicans are trying to get the government off your back.
The Republicans are trying to treat you like adults like everybody else.
But if you just want the handouts, the little bit of handouts that they keep give you, the little bit of dependency they keep you so that you will just suck on that teeth forever, then I suppose keep voting.
But the idea that Charlie Kirk was racist in any way, and then she says, her two Caucasian colleagues.
It's like you, lady, are more racist.
You have more racism.
You exerted more racism in that 30-second clip on CNN than Charlie Kirk has ever espoused in any public setting that I have ever heard, period.
It continues with Lady Eyelashes.
jasmine crockett
I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal.
That that is completely different.
Being a criminal is more so about your mindset.
I talk to black folk all the time as somebody that's a child of a preacher.
Listen, most black people are not Republicans simply because we just is like, y'all racist.
unidentified
I can't hang out with the KKK in the United States.
dave rubin
Okay, I'm not a lawyer, but uh, I'm pretty sure if you commit a crime, you're a criminal.
You there's some basic letters in there that help create the second word, and I think that's number one.
And then, and then the the second part, which is really the what's illustrating what her mindset is.
Her mindset is basically you guys are all racist.
And I want to keep convincing black people of that.
Really want you to think about this for a second.
Tell me, try to really try to think about it.
We'll we'll look in the comments below.
Can someone find something somewhere that shows that Charlie Kirk was a racist?
Can someone find something somewhere that shows that Donald Trump is a racist?
Donald Trump is being called a racist while he's trying to clean up the cities where black people are killing black people.
You want to know who's a racist.
Maybe you should look at the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, who's black, doesn't seem to care that black people are shooting black people, and then calls the president of the United States who's trying to clean it up so less black people get killed.
He's calling him racist.
These people have everything backwards.
Thus, Scott Jennings, a mild-mannered man who, in a normal world, probably wouldn't even be on TV because he's just laying out the most obvious common sense things, has to do it day after day after day on CNN.
scott jennings
Well, she's lying.
I mean, Charlie Kirk targeted nobody.
He was not racist in any way.
Uh, I've listened to hours and hours and hours and hours of Charlie Kirk debates and talks, and have been with Charlie Kirk and did events with Charlie Kirk and knew Charlie Kirk, there wasn't a racist bone in his body to say that he was continuously targeting people of color is nothing but a malicious smear on the very day that people are uh remembering Charlie and he's going to be laid to rest.
And so I think we need to combine the no votes on the resolution, and then you look at the leading democratic voices like Ilhan Omar and Jasmine Crockett, who've gone out uh to smear Charlie before he's even had his funeral.
Um, when I hear people say we need to come together and both sides need to turn down the rhetoric, you know, a lot of people saying that need to look inward right now.
dave rubin
Reminder, Dana Bash, what you could do when you're doing these interviews, and if you want me to come on the show so I could explain this to you, maybe that would be a good idea.
Um, what you might want to do is after you hear Scott say something like that, you might want to uh comment yourself and say, you know what?
Uh actually we did some research here at CNN.
We've got a lot of people in this big fancy building, and we also could not find anything that Charlie said that was racist.
Or the contrary, say, actually, Scott, we did find what do you make of these videos of Charlie being racist?
But if you think that someone's saying that there's arguments to be made that the 1964 Civil Rights Act shouldn't be solved, uh, shouldn't have been passed, that is not inherently racist.
Charlie was making an argument around laws and the way that they could potentially be used to force people to do certain things, right?
But but of course they don't do that on CNN, because that's not the business that they're in.
Uh, we're gonna have more in just a second about the Frankenstein monster and what happens when you create a Frankenstein monster, it might just turn on you, uh, as it relates, of course, to Jimmy Kimmel, which the fallout over that is is just absolutely insane and getting violent, actually.

Take the pressure off and let Tax Network USA handle your tax issues.
All right.
So from the Democrats and their reaction, which has not been great, let's talk about some of the fallout.
And, of course, the big media story last week was that Jimmy Kimmel, a guy who had very similar to Colbert, $100 million budget, A guy who was making $16 million a year and decided to use that desk and that chair as a as a partisan weapon against half the country and call half of all half of us racist and all of those things for years and years and years.
He finally basically went too far last week.
And as Charlie, before Charlie was even buried, claimed that the shooter of Charlie was one of theirs, meaning MAGA.
That was completely untrue.
The affiliates had just basically had it and ABC suspended him.
You all know that.
Well, now we're getting some, speaking of Frankenstein monster.
We are getting some reaction to that.
Listen to this report out of Sacramento related to what happened to ABC 10, a local affiliate over there.
unidentified
A 64-year-old man named Hannibal Annable, excuse me, Hernandez Santana has been arrested in the as the suspect in the shooting that led to an investigation here at ABC 10 in Sacramento along Broadway.
And as the sun has risen this morning, you can see for yourself plywood over one of the windows in the lobby there.
Now, earlier in the day on Friday, police were called here in response to shots fired from outside the ABC 10's building.
No one was injured despite the building being occupied at the time.
Three bullet holes were seen in the window on the building's lobby.
And that's when the investigation began.
Later the same day, KCRA3 saw police in the River Park neighborhood, including SWAT teams.
A witness at the scene reported seeing a man tackled and then taken into custody.
Sacramento police thanked the FBI for providing resources in its investigation and have asked anyone with further information to contact their department.
dave rubin
All right, so we're gonna have more on Hannibal or Annable, as it was in just a second.
But remember, I was talking about Frankenstein's monster because Ilhan Omar said that in essence that Charlie created Frankenstein's monster through his rhetoric, right?
And thus the monster, just like in the story of Frankenstein, turned on him.
Now, of course, that's completely untrue.
It was the progressives who did this with gender in this case, right?
So they create this monster, this person that becomes a monster, an otherwise seemingly normal kid from a decent family, who basically it sounds like in two years was radicalized into crazy gender ideology and then did the most unthinkable thing possible.
But it was you guys that created that Frankenstein.
Well, you've also now created another Frankenstein because somebody thought it was in their best interest or it was important for them to shoot up a local ABC affiliate because they decided to suspend Jimmy Kimmel because Jimmy Kimmel lied about who the shooter was.
So again, that is you guys creating the Frankenstein monster here.
Well, now we are finding out more about Hannibal slash Annabel Hernandez Santana.
Uh, here are two tweets of his.
This is from July 2025, so not that long ago.
The authoritarian oligarchy is now complete.
CBS caving, big law firms in DC, the subservience FBI and attorney general, university president stepping down, fanboys, SCOTUS, public radio, ice goons.
We are going to have to fight like hell.
Rules don't apply if election was stolen.
Fight.
So this is somebody whose mind was deeply, deeply muddled, who really was confused about what's going on here, and where would you get all of these bad ideas?
Those those ideas he said right there sounds like something that a Democrat congressman person would say on CNN, right?
I mean, it really, really does.
Here's one more uh from Hannibal Annabel.
Uh, one, where is a good heart attack?
Where's a good heart attack when we need it most?
Please join in my thoughts and prayers for the physical demise of our fearful leader.
He's talking about Trump, obviously.
Two, I think the word empathy that made up new age term did a lot of damage to Charlie Kirk's carotid artery.
So not only is he dancing on the death of Charlie Kirk, but then also hoping that Donald Trump will have a heart attack as well.
And again, look, I only blame at the end, at the end of the day, at the end of the conversation, at the end of the road, you only blame one person for doing the horrible thing, and it's the person who did it.
But we all live within we live in a universe where there's a lot of floating stuff out there.
And if you are a young person who has been particularly young person, but you can be anybody, right?
You can the 60-year-old can do some horrible things too.
But particularly, I think there's a version of this for young people that's hard for most of us to understand that didn't grow up with the phone in our hand.
If they are just feeding you all of the wrong ideas, and you think evil is coming to get you at any moment.
I mean, it appears that Tyler Robinson, the shooter, thought that somehow someone was coming for his boyfriend, girlfriend, roommate, lover, whatever it was.
And he thought the way to stop the horrible thing that that was fabricated in his mind was to kill Charlie.
Well, now Charlie's dead.
Tyler's life is over one way or another, and the and the trans partner's life, in essence, is over one way or another.
But this these are the they you look at the conditions that these people have created, and you cannot be surprised by the outcomes.
Listen to this from Nick's order uh on X a bit more on this guy.
The leftist who shot up a local ABC station over the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel has just been released on bail.
Why are we allowing literal leftist terrorists back onto American streets?
He should be taken into federal custody.
In light of what's been going on here in the country with crime that we're not even talking about now, but what what we started talking about about Trump cleaning up DC and going into Chicago and the Memphis bill and all of those things, uh, and finding out to the backdrop of another story that is just long gone now, which was the story of the 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who was killed on the light rail in Chicago in uh Charlotte by a guy who was arrested 14 times and had 16 mugshots.
Do you think that the judge maybe made the wrong choice there?
Maybe you shouldn't, even if you whatever your reasons might be, that to the backdrop of what is going on in the country right now, if someone is thinking about shooting up an affiliate, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
You're just trying to break a window, you want to kill the janitor at the affiliate because you like Jimmy Kimmel.
Do you think that maybe that person should not be on the streets?
And also, I think that California has rather stringent gun laws.
I'm fairly certain there's got to be some law that says if you shoot up a building, we should probably keep you in jail for a little bit.
We'll obviously find out a bit more on that.
But what a lot of this boils down to that there is because of the hysteria of the progressives, they are creating the conditions for MAGA to be a really wide tent.
You know my feelings on this.
I don't think anyone was fighting for this pre prior to the election more than me, that I wanted a place that someone like me, someone like Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi and Rogan and all and Elon would feel at home.
And clearly that is not the Democrat Party anymore, and clearly it is the wide tent MAGA movement.
So you could take all the liberals right now, the good liberals, right?
You could take all the good liberals, which I think actually most Americans are kind of just old school liberals and kind of live and let pe live people.
Then you have the conservatives, which is a massive movement too, that's obviously growing, and there are some differences between the liberals and conservatives, but they can ally together, and we all know that, and that's what's been happening.
What you cannot ally with is what we are showing you.
You cannot ally with the people that will lie to you relentlessly, that will keep you in a state of hysteria, that hate the country and all of those things.
Here's a video that's just resurfaced.
This is Charlie at an event uh explaining the difference between liberals and leftists.
charlie kirk
A liberal is someone that might believe in gay marriage.
They might believe in more accessible abortion, they might believe in let higher taxes, uh, and they might believe in, you know, uh a maybe more social welfare programs.
That's a liberal.
A liberal will agree to disagree.
A liberal will have the conversation and they'll say we might not agree on this, but I still treat you with respect, and I really like you as a person.
A leftist will try to shut you up before you even open your mouth.
A leftist does not believe in capitalism whatsoever.
A leftist is rooted in intolerance.
And you see this happen all over the place in America, where you not your college campuses get I get shot, shouted down.
You heard my message tonight.
Do you think I'm a hateful speaker?
Do you think that you know I bring vitriol?
I get labeled by groups on the left in America that I should not be allowed to speak on U.S. campuses.
Uh that I'm somehow spreading vitriol and hatred, and I'm I'm spreading dangerous ideas.
There's a difference between a liberal and a leftist.
dave rubin
And you really can see why they hated Charlie.
I mean, that's as simple, clear, and concise a distinction between liberal and leftist as you can make.
In essence, the difference between a liberal, an old school classical liberal, and a conservative.
I know a little something about this.
In essence, would be the easiest way to explain that would be there the liberal is a little more for government, meaning they think the government has a little more role in society where the conservative thinks a bit less.
And of course, there's also a let's say a spiritual element to that, right?
There's some spiritual part of that.
The leftist is the one that wants control of everything.
They want control of, in essence, the government, so they can tell people how to live.
So the liberal and the conservative, who will both defend free speech, who will both accept and actually relish in the fact that your neighbor might think all sorts of different things than you, but you're gonna love the country together, and he's not gonna come after you for what's yours, and you're not gonna go after him for what's his.
Those people can live in coexistence.
That's what the story of America is for the first 250 years of our existence, right?
That's the thing we have to restore as we roll into our 250th anniversary.
Most of us understand that the liberal and the and the conservative, you're that's it.
It's cool.
It's actually cool, right?
We don't live in a religious theocracy, and we don't want the government to completely control all of our thoughts and emotions and actions and relationships and all of those things.
That's what it's all about.
That's the thing that will freaking save us.
That's the thing that was founded that the founders believed in that created the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, which are the greatest man-made documents of all time.
The leftist is the problem here.
We will have more on leftists in just a moment, but first chapter.
If you were a loved one or on Medicare or turning 65 soon, you need to hear this.
Medicare enrollment is complicated and misinformation is everywhere.
The more confused you are, the easier it is for scammers to push you into overpriced plans that make them money while pretending they're unbiased.
In fact, Trump's Department of Justice recently sued three of the biggest Medicare brokers in America for allegedly doing exactly that.
And the victims, everyday Americans like you.
That's why I trust chapter.
Chapter's advisors make Medicare simple and always put you first.
They listen carefully, compare every plan, and help you find the most savings.
On average, they save people 1,100.
And here's the best part they'll never push you towards one plan over another.
If you're already on the right plan, they'll tell you honestly instead of trying to switch you for their own gain.
So take control of your Medicare coverage with guidance you can trust.
Call chapter today at 332-867-0207.
Most people say they wish they'd called sooner.
Okay, so the liberal leftist distinction, I think, is is an important part of where the country is going right now if we're if we're gonna hold this thing together, if the majority of us who are good and decent and love the country are gonna hold it.
And it was always, I mean, I was talking about this years ago.
It was always going to be tough to hold that wide tent to keep those polls up.
It was there are gonna be a lot of competing interests.
Bobby Kennedy, it was I'm it was brought up yesterday that he has wildly different beliefs as it pertains to the role of government that than say Charlie Kirk or Donald Trump.
But why do they all love each other?
Why are they working together?
It's the love of country that's bringing it together.
That's gonna be tough to hold because there will be so many competing forces that will try to tear that apart.
The leftist version of it, though, is what we've shown you here.
The leftist version is the Ilhan Omar version of it, right?
The leftist version is the Hakeem Jeffries.
The leftist version is Lady Eyelashes, Jasmine Crockett.
It is these people that want to divide us across the board that don't seem to think America is fundamentally good, that endlessly will tell you how horrible the state is, but Also tell you you have to give up more of your autonomy to that evil thing.
The same people who will tell you the country is horrible, and also we should open the doors so everyone can share in the horror.
None of it makes sense.
And speaking of things that don't make sense, it's a general rule across Western society that you shouldn't marry your brother.
Has anyone in here married their brother?
Nobody here has married their brother.
You nobody.
You don't marry your brother.
Not a it's not a, you know, we don't have to really elaborate on that.
I don't think you have to Google anything.
I think we'll be don't marry your brother.
Don't marry your sister, not a big deal.
Unfortunately, Ilhan Omar has.
It is starting to break forth.
And Donald Trump, you know Donald Trump, he starts teasing stuff.
He starts teasing stuff.
People tell him he's a racist, and two years later, they're like, oh, the racist guy got it all right.
Well, look at this uh from Donald Trump on Truth Social.
Trump, uh, Ilhan Omar's country of Somalia is plagued by a lack of central government control, persistent poverty, hunger, resurgent terrorism, piracy, decades of civil war, corruption, and pervasive violence.
70% of the population lives in extreme poverty and widespread food insecurity.
Somalia is consistently ranked among the world's most corrupt countries, including bribery, embezzlement, and a dysfunctional government.
All of this, and El Han Omar tells us how to run America.
P.S. Wasn't she the one that married her brother in order to gain citizenship?
What scum we have in our country telling us what to do and how to do it?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
American America great.
Again, and what of course you are seeing, Mike, you can leave that up for just a sec.
What you are seeing right there is her Ilhan Omar's marriage license application.
It is finally breaking forth.
This is this is so you know, I just talk about the airlock, right?
Somehow the mainstream media can come back.
The mainstream media always is basically an airlock.
All of us out here on the internet, crazy internet people on the wild west, the frontier of everything.
We're just talking about shit.
We're trying to work it through.
We get some things right, some things wrong.
But generally, whether it's COVID or Russia, Russia, Russia, or very fine people, like we're getting to the truth quicker.
And then the mainstream media basically exists as the airlock.
And every now and again, uh something breaks through the airlock or something becomes so obvious the airlock can no longer contain it.
That would be, for example, last June when Joe Biden excuse me, when Joe Biden during that debate just had the full-on breakdown that we all knew was obvious, but it was so damn obvious that the airlock could not contain it.
Next thing you know, the next day on CNN, everyone's repeating what we've all been saying for years.
The Ilhan thing has been bouncing around the internet for it could be four years at this point, right?
And now finally Donald Trump is going for it.
Uh Ilhan knows she is in some hot water, and uh, well, she's trying to offer some tepid defense.
Take a look.
ilhan omar
He's uneducated enough to understand that members of Congress can't be impeached, you know, when when you have uh Nancy and Randy saying, you know, we we're on it, we're gonna impeach her.
Um, when they're saying they're going to deport me, knowing full well that you cannot deport an American citizen.
Well, that displays for not just Americans, but folks on um on an international platform is that our country is being led by idiots.
dave rubin
Well, uh, sorry, Ilhan, uh, but not only did everything you say there uh is everything that you said there uh a lie and backwards.
It turns out there's some factual evidence into why we can get rid of someone like you.
Uh, this from real AR on X. Once again, the know it all knows nothing.
A naturalized citizen can lose their citizenship through a process called denaturalization, which could potentially lead to a deportation if certain conditions are met.
Examples include providing false information during the naturalization process, committing serious crimes, treason or terrorism-related offenses could trigger denaturalization denaturalization proceedings.
So she married her brother for immigration purposes for her brother, so that could qualify as that.
And then as it pertains to terrorism or some of those other things, I think this is this I don't have evidence of this.
This is my belief around her and Rashida Talib and some of these other people.
They are going to find either through a RICO case or something, they are going to find high-level coordination between people like them and these NGOs that put that are putting people out on the streets that are working with, you know, it's the Hamas crew and the Antifa crew that are committing acts of domestic terrorism and violence and much more.
Uh listen to this from Amy Mech from the Rare Foundation, uh, who's been ringing the bell on on Ilhan, on Rashida, on the sort of enemy within uh for quite some time.
Listen to this.
The Somali state of Minnesota, Minnesota is being systematically transformed.
It's people replaced its cities turned into foreign enclaves, its future rewritten by mass migration and soaring immigrant birth rates, all by design.
A hundred and thirty thousand new arrivals last year.
Tens of thousands from Somalia, Ethiopia, and Mexico.
Migrant birth rates soaring while native Minnesotans flee.
Crime, welfare abuse, and Islamic influence exploding Minneapolis already holds the largest Somali population in the U.S., a hub for Sharia push and radical recruitment.
You can see it on display at the Somali Culture and Music Night held this weekend.
And now Omar Fateh, a Somali American Muslim and Democrat Socialist, is poised to stake City Hall as the next mayor of Minneapolis.
This isn't a similar this isn't assimilation, it's colonization.
Now it sounds like Omar Fateh, we talked about this a couple weeks ago, will not be the next mayor, but the current mayor, Jacob Fry, who is just the worst sort of limp-wrest progressive panderer.
Well, here he is, and uh I don't know if we're gonna be able to translate this on the fly, but maybe you've got an AI thing that can do it.
But this seems like what we should be having in America.
jacob frey
Ma'aga Egawad Jacob Fry.
Dokemagalada, Minneapolis.
Dama'an, Shahabka Somaliid, Kay Yamid Mogadishu.
dave rubin
Uh, I tried to do a quick translation myself.
I think he basically said, Hi, I'm Jacob Fry, please don't behead me.
If I pander to you people enough and I give you exactly what you want, will you just behead me a little bit later than you behead everybody else?
Um, what's going on here?
What's going on here?
And and and how within what we've talked about here, which is Charlie, what would Charlie want as it relates to all of this?
Maybe that's a little bit we can do things for Charlie, but we can also think as we're analyzing things, what would Charlie want right now?
I think he would want us to defend the Constitution of the United States.
I think he would want us to defend our sovereignty and our borders.
I think he would want people here from all walks of life, including from places like Somalia, but only if they love the country.
I think he would want people here who want to share and who want to share in and enlighten others about the greatness of America, and that is not what we have at the moment.
Uh, here's Charlie talking about what the real threat to the West actually is.
charlie kirk
I debated at Oxford and Cambridge back in May.
These are broken, conquered cities and talents.
They're completely unrecognizable.
When I go walk through Piccadilly Square, and there's just more Muslims than native-born whites were there's something wrong about that, and that is a metamorphosis that you have to wonder like did you vote for this?
Did you want this?
Did you invite it?
I know a lot of great individual Muslims.
My primary doctor in America is actually a Muslim, and he's amazing.
That's not the point.
You can walk the street and meet a great Muslim in London.
The question is, is macro Islam compatible with Western values?
Macro.
Of course it's not.
unidentified
As many as one million white English children may have been the victims of Muslim rape gangs.
charlie kirk
Islam does not believe in freedom of speech.
unidentified
Eleven slaughtered in the editorial meeting at the satirical weekly Shekli Ebduh.
I'm not a fuck!
I'm not a fuck!
Supposed revenge for the papers predictably provocative cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
charlie kirk
Islam does not believe in freedom of religions.
And finally, whereas we in the West are very careful to try to intermix religion and state, they are commanded to actually go into the state and try to change the state to be more Islamic or around the core pillars of Islam.
dave rubin
Okay, so first I want to address what he says right there.
While we here in the West, we here in America, we're careful to mix these things, right?
And that's why, as I said up the top, I could see somebody watching some of the ceremony yesterday, some of that memorial yesterday, and say, Boy, this is a bit too much religion for me, right?
I'm not a believer, I'm uh I'm another religion, I just don't like the idea of this, whatever.
I could see someone say that, but what you have to understand is there there's Charlie, who also said that he did not want America to be a theocracy.
We're careful about it.
We have systems in place because we have individual rights.
We have free speech, we have the ability to challenge each other, that we have some defenses against becoming a religious theocracy.
That that's one part of it.
But what he's talking about right there is completely congruent, by the way, with what what I've seen in London when I spoke at Oxford Union uh back in February, and it seemed that the place was occupied and not by British people.
And actually, the only flag outside of uh that I saw at Oxford uh was the giant trans flag that they had in the library.
I didn't see any British flags there.
There is something wrong, nothing what he nothing that he said there was racist.
So I get it.
Your Jasmine Crockett, your Ilhan Omer, you you watch that and you think he's racist.
You think he's racist.
And he said something about plummeting white birth rates.
It wouldn't have anything to do with skin color if the people that were coming into these countries were integrating into societies.
If the average Somali person, and then he goes out of his way to say it, my doctor is a Muslim, but he's talking about the macro thing.
Obviously, there's some Somalis in Minnesota that love America and are thrilled to be here in all those things.
Of course, of course there are.
But overwhelming numbers of people who are being brought here, told that the place is horrible, demanding stuff from the system, and that at the macro level, their ideology, which demands submission, does not correlate with what the founding of America is.
And we're gonna have to figure that out.
You know, I mentioned that um that the most powerful moment, of course, of what we saw yesterday was was Erica Kirk forgiving the assassin that killed her husband just you know 10 days ago or so.
Um but there was one other moment I would say that that might have been just as comparable because it was it was eerie and we all knew what was happening, and we didn't know how they were gonna end the video.
Uh the turning point, guys, put together a short video of Charlie the morning of his assassination arriving on campus.
And I thought this would be uh a fitting way to end the show.
I'll I'll come back after.
Uh, but this was this was just it's it's I'm warning you.
This is powerful.
charlie kirk
What is a quote that you live by?
First is not in the Bible.
Uh it's this too shall pass, which was actually people think it's in the Bible.
It's not, um, but it's King Solomon's phrase, which is really amazing when you think about it, because it's good no matter what season of life that you're in.
Um if you're going to the worst of times, this too shall pass.
And things are gonna get better.
If you're going through the best of times, though, it's really humbling.
Like this two shall pass and this will fade away because this will not last forever.
So I love that.
Yeah, exactly.
So it's a it's a time transcendent truth that applies towards all uh periods as an entrepreneur.
It humbles you when you need it and builds you up when you need it, gives you hope when you need it, and also gives you a little bit of a dose of uh a gut check.
Um, one of my favorite verses though is uh Romans 828, which says that God uh works all things for good for those who love him.
Uh it's a very freeing and liberating verse uh for those of us that are Christians because we believe that when things can be really bad, God is working it for his good, his perfect and pleasing will, which is a very, very hard teaching when you come across business closures or staff layoffs.
But it's very liberating that God is working all things towards an ultimate good.
Um, so I love that.
And it kind of is very freeing that I don't have to be in charge of everything.
Um, and there is a God and I'm not him, and I surrender to his will.

Okay, okay, to be clear, what they showed that that was Charlie's last interview, which was right that was at Utah State, right at Utah Valley, right before we all know what happened.
Uh, at the what I was referring to was at the event yesterday at the memorial yesterday, they showed about a 45 second or so behind the scenes video of him arriving on campus, throwing hats to the kids, that that infectious smile that Charlie had and all that.
Uh, but the reason I wanted to end with that clip, I thought we were gonna show you a little bit of both.
Well, the reason I wanted to end with that clip was this too shall pass.
We are in something right now, uh, that Jenna here who works at Rumble said to me this morning.
It's like we're all like stuck with this thing right now, right?
Like it feels like it's like stuck.
Remember last week I said it's sticky.
There's you know, everything in the news cycle, just something horrible happens, something evil happens, there's another shooting, and nothing's sticky anymore, right?
Like even we were all so focused on the murder of that 23-year-old beautiful girl in Charlotte, and that's not sticky anymore.
Something has happened now where this is sticky, it's stuck.
I mean, I got back, we flew back into Sarasota.
I got in bed at about 3 a.m. last night, and I don't think I fell asleep till five.
Like I could not stop thinking about what's going on here.
And I'm definitely not the only one.
I know it's happening to you guys too.
And the question is, what do we do with that?
And that's why I will really try to continue taking Charlie's spirit here, the things that I think Charlie cared about, whether I cared about and believed in, and whether I agreed with every one of the political prescriptions or not, if we could take a little bit of that, and then maybe do it a little bit the way that Trump was doing it, right?
Like there's there's that.
There's the Charlie portion, and here's the other portion.
And if we can blend those things, that's kind of like blending the conservative liberal ideology.
And that is genuinely what I think will save this country.
Uh guys, we're not gonna have a post-game show today.
I have to pre-tape the show tomorrow because uh tonight is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
So we're going to uh we're gonna be pre-taping our next two shows.
The Jews have been around for 5786.
I know that doesn't make think how long that is.
5,800, 5,786 years.
It's a it's a long, long time.
I know, Ilhan, that's rough for you, but it is true, and you ain't gonna believe where they went when they left Egypt and they took that long 40-year walk through the Okay, you guys get the point.
Uh so uh we're gonna be pre-taping the next two-day shows.
There's gonna be no post-game show today.
Uh, but stay tuned for more and thank you guys for watching.
And that's all I have to say about that.
