Medieval on these people.

Reasons I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

Hey there, Harnwell. Here at the helm on Steve Bannon's War Room. Welcome. Thanks for joining the show. Well, on the 10th of September, when Charlie Kirk was brutally assassinated in front of what is effectively became, thanks to social media, the world's attention, perhaps it wasn't unexpected, the degree, the outpouring of grief that was going to follow, but perhaps what people didn't quite expect at that moment in time was how Charlie's death, how his martyrdom is inspiring revival not only in the United States, but right across the world. That's what we're going to be looking into this evening. That is to say, perhaps people might have expected the outpouring of grief, but they might also have expected it to finish there once the grief had, had subsided somewhat. And that is absolutely not the case. In fact, day by day that the revival, this momentum behind the revival seems to be growing. Let's go to my beloved homeland, the United Kingdom. First, Jenny Holland, you have some interesting analysis on something that the Daily Telegraph produced today, right?
D (2:07)
That's right. The Daily Telegraph has an interesting story about a Christian revival in the United Kingdom being fueled by, by Charlie Kirk's violent death. And some of the numbers it uses are numbers we've actually already discussed in the show from the Bible Society that showed that 18 to 24 year old church attendance, monthly church attendance had gone up from 4% in 2018 to 16% this year. And that the similar numbers in terms of 24 to 38 year olds, that was 13% now say they are churchgoers monthly as opposed to 4% more interestingly, they speak to these young new congregants directly. And two of them, one man and one young man and one young woman in particular, pointed to Charlie Kirk's teachings and advocacy on behalf of marriage and sort of more traditional sex roles. One young man said that young men didn't really know how to be anymore and what they're supposed to be, which in and of itself is a really tragic statement. And he said they also don't know how to relate to women anymore. Similarly, a young woman experienced Charlie Kirk as a brilliant, positive way of saying to young people how a man should be a man and a woman should be a woman. That this is a really interesting viewpoint because it just shows, first of all, how much secular liberalism has failed young people if they are not getting this sort of very foundational education that wouldn't even really have been considered an education before because it was just how society works and all of these roles were modeled in society. So there was a lot to be happy about in this article. Although of course it's couched in very biased, loaded terminology and it does try and inject a little bit of Christian nationalism boogeyman, which I don't know if MAGA is aware, but that's certainly a. That's a cudgel with which liberals like to be and progressives like to beat MAGA about the head with. And so, yeah, I mean, you love to see it, right? You love to see at least some acknowledgement of the positive aspects of MAGA as it pertains to young people and this desperately needed sane morality that Charlie Kirk not only spoke of, but lived and represented in his life. And it's. But it's kind of a tale of two extremes, right? Because another thing I saw today was the absolute polar opposite of that. Like talk about the darkness versus the light. Megyn Kelly drew the world's attention to something that had gone almost unremarked upon. She did a segment this yesterday, I believe, on an Etsy or, sorry, a Jezebel article that was posted online on September 8th. And if your reader or viewers don't know, Jezebel is a sort of like a bit of a snarky hipster zine type website that was very popular maybe 15, 20 years ago among sort of like New New York media set. And as the name indicates, it sort of promotes this bad girl vibe. And they actually had a writer, although she didn't have the courage to put her byline on this piece. They had a writer go and as the headline says, pay some Etsy witches to curse Charlie Kirk. Etsy, of course, being the kind of crafty DIY website that's super popular. I bought things off of it myself. I little gifts for children and whatnot. And apparently now you can buy the services of Witches, and I kid you not. Now the article itself has been taken. Was taken down in the aftermath of Kirk's. First of all, they put a caveat, saying that it was satire and they did not wish any physical harm upon him. And then they took it down altogether. But the Internet always remembers and it's still available on archives and it attempts to be tongue in cheek, but what it really shows is this casual cruelty and this very shallow and sort of glib, sarcastic, nihilistic vibe that so many young women and young men too, but in this case, let's focus on the women are really sort of proudly flaunting. And it's. She goes through this entire process of finding the witch and paying the witch money and how the curse worked. And, you know, she says things like she didn't want. She only wanted like, sort of minor annoyances, like bad skin or a teleprompter that didn't work and to ruin his day in sort of minor ways. But she's celebrating the sort of feminist power, she says, of the Etsy coven. And to know that that would ruin his day would bring this writer her life's greatest joy. And she's very chillingly said, doing this. Yeah.
