From the age of Big Brother.
Charlie Kirk
If they want to get you, they'll get you.
Blake
The NSA specifically targets the communications of everyone.
Charlie Kirk
They're collecting your communications.
Jack Posobiec
Well, folks, we're back here. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard for another edition of Thought Crime Thursday. Jack Posobic here. Charlie Kirk is going to be joining us in just a minute here. Flying in, but it's been, you know, pretty quiet week around here. You know, go around the horn, you know, not. Not much in the news, but I believe we have Blake and Tyler. What's up, guys?
Tyler
Howdy.
Charlie Kirk
Yeah.
Blake
Has anything happened this week?
Tyler
Yeah, not a lot. I mean, we're just.
Jack Posobiec
Well, the biggest news. The biggest news, you know, ahead of SAS, we're going to SaaS this weekend. Turning Point Student Action Summit over at Tampa, Florida. Super excited. But the biggest news, of course, was, guys, case closed on Jeffrey Epstein. My goodness. You know, we all were waiting for the answers and boy, did we get all the answers that we were looking for and promised. And gosh, I, I can't even think of any more questions that I have. No, I'm satisfied this one is case closed. Time to move on. What, what, what do you say, folks?
Blake
Turns out that binder was the end of the road.
Tyler
Yeah, it was like we went.
Jack Posobiec
Everything that was in there, man, that was, that was exactly what was promised. Nothing else for us.
Tyler
Full transparency.
Jack Posobiec
Transparency, yeah.
Charlie Kirk
Yeah.
Jack Posobiec
I mean, look, you know, it's, it's. I get that this has been like a debate, and I think this is something obviously Charlie's been talking about all week. Obviously, like, like Dana Bash is on cnn, like, playing clips of me talking about it this week regarding some of my comments regarding our illustrious Attorney General. And, and, you know, look, part of this, though, I think is it's the comm strategy part of it, too. It's like the way, like the way you communicate and the way that you treat people and, you know, it's been a huge issue, but look, when it comes down to it, you know, this isn't good enough. And I think that's really the bottom line, is this is just not good enough. And when you're, when you're in public life, you, you know, you can, you can set expectations. You always have to set expectations. But you know, of thumb, if I'm trying to set expectations is under promise over deliver. Under promise over deliver.
Tyler
Jack, before you. Let's actually play that clip of yours. I think it'd be pretty good. Let's get, let's. Let's show clip 379.
Jack Posobiec
Oh, we have it.
Charlie Kirk
That led to a lot of frustration online and elsewhere among people who are pretty influential with the magabase. Here's just a sampling.
Jack Posobiec
She says that we don't need to hear about Jeffrey Epstein ever again. You know what this sounds like? I'm going to tell you exactly what this sounds like. Pam Bondi sounds like Hillary Clinton right now.
Charlie Kirk
If you're maga, Those are fighting words to talk about Pam Bondi as.
Tyler
As Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton.
Charlie Kirk
Oh, my God.
Tyler
That is. That's like. Oh, man, that's quite the slur. Holy cow.
Jack Posobiec
Yeah. No, look, I knew that. I knew that that would be effective for a number of. But, you know, not only because Hillary, of course, as we know, and the Clintons were directly involved with Epstein, but, you know, this. This also this idea that, you know, that it was Hillary. Remember, Hillary was someone who was saying that, oh, oh, you know, on Benghazi, you know, at this point, what difference does it even make? What difference does it even make? This was this famous, you know, and I actually had a couple of reporters reach out to me after I did this, you know, this clip, and they said, what do you. Sounds like Hillary. What does that mean? So the left doesn't even understand how big of a phrase that is on the right. This was something that even decades later that, you know, even decades later that we still talk about. What it means is that Hillary Clinton, during the Benghazi debacle, when people were asking, why didn't you deploy the Quick Response Force? Why didn't you deploy all of these assets that we had around the. Around the Mediterranean and other parts of the Middle east when Benghazi was under attack from this huge terrorist attack just weeks before the election in 2012. Why didn't you or the, you know, Barack Obama deploy these forces? Which, by the way, you know, you don't need the president's order to do that. You can just, you know, they would just deploy automatically. She. She flips out in the house and says, at this point, what difference does it even make? And just starts banging the table. And I said, man, that's. That's. That's what it sounds like. What I'm getting from the Attorney General right now, I believe. I believe. Guys, do we have Charlie? Is Charlie in now?
Charlie Kirk
I am here. Hello. And I'm wearing my Rush was Right T shirt.
Jack Posobiec
Dude, I need one of those T.
Charlie Kirk
Shirts, by the way. We're gonna sell out. It's like the most popular one we ever made. Rush was right. People love it.
Blake
Oh, yeah.
Jack Posobiec
Like, if you don't say true story.
Tyler
We're a true story.
Charlie Kirk
The design is my.
Tyler
My uncle was give. Brought a bunch of books to our fourth of July thing. Just like old books. And someone has a prank had given him the 1996 Al Franken book attacking Rush Limbaugh. Obviously it says a lot of nice things about Rush Limbaugh, but the real. I looked at it. What was fascinating was just what a time capsule. It was like what stuff people cared about. He spends a lot of the book talking about, I believe, Phil Graham. I don't know the last time I've thought about Phil Graham, he was a Republican contender for the presidency in 1996, I think. I can't even remember what office he was.
Charlie Kirk
Wait, hold on. No, you. You mean the guy from Tennessee, right?
Tyler
Maybe. I actually can't remember who he is.
Charlie Kirk
The reverse mortgage guy? Maybe you mean Fred something.
Tyler
No, no, there's. William Philip Graham was an American. He represented Texas and. Wow. Yeah, he's still alive. Wow. He started as a Democrat, switched to the Republicans.
Charlie Kirk
Fred Thompson.
Tyler
Yeah, you're thinking of Fred Thompson. No, this is Phil Graham, 1996, he was a presidential nominee contender. And man, I don't know if he's. He referred to the 2016 election as scary because he didn't like Trump very much, but. No, he's like. He's like this guy getting really singled out in this 1996 Al Franken book. So sorry about the detour there.
Charlie Kirk
The things they used to worry about. So I do want to ask. So, Blake, you are obviously, Blake, you believe that Epstein killed himself? Probably that he wasn't as bad people as people thought.
Tyler
Hold on, that makes it sound weird. No, what I would say is I've always been open.
Charlie Kirk
Defend yourself.
Tyler
I have always been open to the. I call it the unconspiracy for Jeffrey Epstein.
Charlie Kirk
Okay.
Tyler
So obviously he's been a figure for like 20 years at this point. There have been, like, rumors swirling about Epstein. These claims that he did, you know, sweeping blackmail, that he did all this predatory stuff, and of course, allegedly linked with, you know, our intelligence or someone else's intelligence. You can go on. And I've thought, what if the answer to it is the unconspiracy, that Epstein was a charismatic guy. So he was very good at me and maybe. Maybe even like a really good liar. So he was very good at making people think he was wealthier than he was, although he was still clearly wealthy, that he was more connected than he was. He maybe was very good at making people think he had these ties to intelligence. And what you'll find, if you like, look, dig into history, is people like that are kind of a recurring feature of life. I don't want to name him because he's a bit litigious, but like there's a guy in kind of right wing circles who like would always tell people like he was linked to the FBI and it appears that he was just constantly making that up. So maybe what you have with Epstein, for example, is, oh, he's getting in trouble with Florida as he was, you know, back in the late 2000s. But he's able to use his connections to sort of make everybody think, oh, this guy's linked with intelligence. We shouldn't, you know, go delve too deep into that. And so what you have is a guy who he associated with a lot of rich people and he did, you know, obviously he pursued underage girls. But maybe all of the additional stuff, all of the like blackmail traps is not as spectacular as people were hoping.
Charlie Kirk
The best argument, and I like Jack, that this is overblown again, I'm not taking any position on this, is that all these law firms like Boyes Shiller and others, they were very invested in trying to find a criminal network here and they were unable to do that. Basically. I mean, with dozens of clients and years of work, lawyers sued all of just two celebrities. Alan Dershowitz, who they applied to apologize to in a $0 settlement when the only person accusing him turned out to be unreliable and someone who the government couldn't dare to call to stand trial. And Prince Andrew, who settled with exactly one punitive victim lucky enough to get a photo with him, probably finding it cheaper than the reputation had an inconvenience of being dragged into America in a headlines for a month in a he said, she said case. The point, I guess there is an argument to be made that this is your argument about Diet Coke. Right. That trial lawyers will eventually find out if there is fire. Yeah.
Tyler
Like there's this.
Charlie Kirk
Would that be your.
Tyler
You could make a lot of money if like if Bill Gates abused somebody meeting with Jeffrey Epstein. Oh, you know, a guy who has $100 billion to, to soak from and they can't find a victim, they can't find any case to bring against him. Something that. As simple as if they had to settle to make the case go away. It's. Yeah, it's the unconspiracy.
Blake
Like to me, it's not about the, it's not about that though. It's the fact that if Jeffrey Epstein was in trouble and he had all these really famous friends that he brought with him. Right. The immediate natural reaction would be for him to include all those people in the trouble that he's in. And why would you kill yourself without having, you know, explained where all these people were? They came down like. It just doesn't make any kind of sense. Like I. There's been so many particular pieces of evidence when someone kills themselves that they almost always leave some kind of note or explanation or something to talk about. And he basically sat quiet in silence and then didn't talk about any of this.
Charlie Kirk
I guess one of the ways. So here is a piece of information that I think could be released that would not satisfy Blake, wouldn't care, but it would be interesting. Who were the other prisoners on Jeffrey Epstein's cell block? Right. There's no reason why we should not have that information.
Blake
Everyone should know that.
Charlie Kirk
Because basically their argument is, well, Jeffrey Epstein killed himself because no one was able to access the floor. Okay, we agree that. That actually, I think, has been, you know, verified. Got it. Okay, so then if he were to have been killed by somebody else and did not kill himself, it would have had to have been a prison guard. Highly unlikely. Because, I mean, just. So then it's likely another prisoner. And so then here's where it gets a little sus. Every time someone tries to ask who the other prisoners are, they're like, sorry, that's a privacy violation. Okay, so you guys have like a HIPAA law for prisoners or something?
Tyler
Is there that's legit?
Charlie Kirk
According to Tucker. According to Tucker, he said that he's tried to find out who the other prisoners on the cell block were. So that's a very important. And I. So if I were to, you know, just try to give some open advice, that's a piece of information that I think would be really helpful. Yeah.
Blake
How is that private, though? What is the law?
Charlie Kirk
Apparently there's like a federal Prisoner Privacy Act. Again, fact check me on this. Every time someone has surprising every. And by the way, all those prisoners were like reassigned within days.
Blake
Oh, yeah.
Charlie Kirk
But we still know there's a record somewhere. Somebody knows who was on that cell block.
Tyler
Well, it's. It was. It's not a long term holding facility.
Charlie Kirk
No, it's not. No, of course. But the point being is that there was somebody there and that somebody might be free now, that somebody might have gotten some weird plea deal somewhere down the road. So if you want to like to find a focus of this energy, kind of find the energy of who were the prisoners on Jeffrey Epstein cellblock? Totally agree.
Tyler
And I think that's part of what the harm is, is that I know Jack wants to come in here soon, so I won't go long. But it's that I think there was a lot of energy put into this, but it was very general energy. And frankly, I think there's an issue where a lot of people like over promise, like people just, they talked a lot about how, oh, we are definitely going to get to the bottom of this big conspiracy. And that frankly has happened a good amount of times in like the wider conservative movement. They'll really fixate on something. You know, Benghazi 10 years ago or frankly, like the crossfire hurricane stuff, any of the special investigators that they have going. People get hyped up that there's going to be a big revelation that blows everything open. People died. People did die. But like, I think people often get hyped that there will be more stuff that comes out and then when that doesn't happen and most of the time it doesn't happen, they feel really betrayed.
Charlie Kirk
Hold on. Yes. And so I think that's a good validation because, and I think this is important that like transparency advocates who tend to be more libertarian online and young. So people that care about transparency tend to skew more libertarian because. Skeptical of government power. Yeah, More young and online, they voted for Trump in big numbers and their expectations were set very high. As some administration officials said there was going to be like this massive dramatic release. Does that make sense? Yes. So again, this, I'm not the client list.
Tyler
The idea like, oh, here's the 50 names of.
Charlie Kirk
So you have a built in kind of. And I'm trying to explain this to some boomers. I will say though, that on our program it is multi generational. The anger and the outrage is multi generational. But I'd say the focus is just definitely the younger, the libertarian, the online folks, they voted for Trump in like record numbers. One of the main reasons is like, hey, at least this guy is going, you know, he got shot. He's not. They're trying to get rid of him. Like, you know, this whole thing. And so then you had administration officials saying like, hey, I. The client list on my desk, there's like a trunk load of stuff. And it wasn't just one person, it was several administration officials. It was not just one. Instead it should have been like, hey, this could have been diffused by 99%. This was my advice to them if they would have been like, guys, we just took Office. I don't want to get your expectations up, but we're starting to look through this. This is honestly a little more lackluster and like, give us some time to go through it. It's going to take some time. But honestly, like, it's not what you think it is. If they would have just said that, it would have just been a huge diffusion. Where does anger come from? Where does anger come from? When you vacation, when you go out to eat, when your expectations don't hit reality. Yep. And so if you go to a nice restaurant and all of a sudden they serve you, you know, kfc, you're like, what the heck? I'm paying a big.
Blake
And with movies, I mean, you guys.
Charlie Kirk
See this at airports when people's flights are delayed, right? Yep. When. When expectations and reality are out of alignment. Well, you get Carnival Cruise Line.
Blake
To your point, Charlie. One of the ways to diffuse this is like they could, they could have done over the course of the last six months the work to say, here we didn't.
Charlie Kirk
We.
Blake
We didn't find anything, or there's issues here going on, but here are all the prisoners we're releasing.
Jack Posobiec
Like, the President could do that.
Blake
The President could come out and say, here are all the individuals that were on the block and we're investigating all these people to figure out what's going on with that. That would have brought a lot more trust into the. Into the room for sure than doing it the way they did it. Setting improper expectations and then blowing it out.
Jack Posobiec
I know a little something about the. The way that it was done, having, you know, the. Well, I know that I was brought to the White House for a series of policy briefings and along with a number of other conservative individuals. Mike Cernovich is there, Scott Pressler was there. Sav Fernandez, Liz Wheeler, D.C. drano just lives at TikTok. People. Everybody knows. Everybody knows these guys. And we were told that we were going to be meeting with a group of cabinet secretaries, met with Secretary Rubio, with Secretary Kennedy, the great Bobby Kennedy. We met with Vice President. And even the President himself actually did us the incredible honor of visiting. But then when AG Bondi came in, she brought with her this set of binders and, and said, hey, guys, you all want the Epstein files? Right. And we're sort of looking around going, well, no one said anything about Epstein on the Agenda today, but sure, we all want to know that we were familiar with the story and, you know, we'd love to see them. And then she directs her staff and says, well, guys, here's the Epstein files, Phase one, and I'm giving it directly to you. And then immediately after that, we don't really have time to go through this. These huge binders with all these names in them, and we can't quite figure out whether this is new stuff or old stuff. And it turned out it was all old stuff. These things were full of baloney. But then right after that, we get pushed out through the portico entrance of the West Wing, right where the entire international media was assembled for Keir Stommer's visit. And so we have all of these pictures of us with these binders that at that point we were told that they were underembarking ago, that we couldn't look into them, we couldn't report about them, we couldn't even get it out there. So again, if people want to talk about where did the hype come from? You know, where was the hype train? Well, it's. Again, you know, this was the way that it was rolled out and we were always told that there's going to be phase two, phase three, phase four. So by the time I actually looked through it and, you know, it took a couple of minutes to sit down and said, wait a minute, this stuff is already out before. Where's the rest of it? You know, we kept being told over and over that more was coming, that it hadn't been declassified yet, and it was just a complete break of trust. A complete and absolute break of trust, especially for, you know, a group of people like us who, look, we were invited there and we came because we wanted to help. We came because we wanted to show support. We wanted to do what we do every day. But more importantly, we wanted to get justice for the victims and actually justice for the girls who were involved here. So, you know, what can I say? People ask, oh, are you angry? So, yeah, I'm very angry. I'm very angry because, you know, I feel like I was used for a political stunt.
Tyler
So one idea I might have, what if a driving force of how kind of ineptly they did this with the phase two, Phase three is whoever's involved in laying this out, it's probably not directly Pam Bondi or whoever deciding what their messaging is on this. It might be someone lower. What if the problem is they have a lot of really intense, like intense true believers at the second level, so they kind of assumed there would be a lot more to it. And they're. And like they over promise because they themselves assume there will just be this treasure trove of info that they can get out, and then they end up being extremely disappointed. It's a possibility.
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. I. Jack, what would make this right?
Jack Posobiec
So, you know, I don't know. I think can necessarily make it right in that sense. I mean, a grave injustice was done to the victim.
Charlie Kirk
Has anyone apologized to you?
Jack Posobiec
To me? No.
Charlie Kirk
Yes. Oh, no. Okay.
Jack Posobiec
Well, actually, I take that back. I take that back there. When it comes to the Department of Justice. No. When it comes to individuals who were involved in setting up the meeting, yes. Yes, there definitely were apologies, not just to me, but to everyone who was involved with that. And it was very clear, by the way, that this binder stunt was not something that had been approved or socialized with the White House in any way. So, you know, but that being said, because they had called the meeting that, you know, the organizers from the White House side did say that they, you know, they expressed a deep regret, and we're very sorry about the way that that all happened. So. Yes.
Charlie Kirk
So then what do you think can make this right? What would be. I think a good action step is just tell us who the prisoners on Jeffrey Epstein's cell block were. That's that. That we can learn. The Bureau of Prisons has that information.
Jack Posobiec
You know, that's. That's something, you know, I don't know that it necessarily gets to where people want. Look, problem here, right, from just. Just a PR perspective, right. From a comms perspective, is that, you know, we're told everything's coming, everything's coming, everything's coming, everything's coming. And then, boom, that it's nothing. And wait, so you're not even going to release, like, some, you know, redacted document or some transcripts and some interviews and, you know, this information, that information, and. And then, you know, the AG gets up and said, well, this is child porn. We can't release. Nobody's asking you to release that. My God. Of course, we're not asking to release that. But the. But, you know, the next step is. Okay, well, so were there information? Was there interviews with these victims? Did those interviews generate any leads? What about the search warrant? When Jeffrey Epstein was arrested the first time, by the way, by the Trump administration, which Trump never gets any credit for that it was his administration that finally brought the actual charges against Jeffrey EPSTEIN Back in 2019, that. Why not declassify the search warrant? What was on the search warrant? What were they going for? What was the probable cause? What was uncovered, what wasn't uncovered? What could still possibly be out there? Again, all of these things. Remember People remember what it was like going through Russiagate and going through those investigations and the Crossfire hurricane counter investigations, and that's apparently generated some criminal referrals. Okay, great. We remember going through with a fine tooth comb all of the text messages and all the rest. But with this, we're just told that there's nothing. And honestly, it just seems ludicrous on its face that there would be nothing. So you have to release something regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and give people a piece of it. No, I understand. By the way, obviously, this idea that there's just a list of clients, I mean, that's not how crime works. That's not how criminal conspiracies work. But the idea that there's nothing in terms of investigative files or by the way, the original Jeffrey Epstein investigation, which was conducted by Mueller, even, you know, all the way back, way back when, out of the Southern District of Florida, where he was given the non prosecutor prosecution agreement. This NPA, which a judge in 2019 said was illegal in the first place. Where are all the files from that investigation, which is, you know, well over a decade ago? You know, Charlie, everybody knows that these documents are out there and that the DOJ has them. They're in the Southern District of Florida. They're in the sdny. And if they. If they have to be unsealed, then unseal them or make the movements to unseal them. Just, you have to release something. You can't say there's nothing.
Charlie Kirk
Final thoughts, guys?
Tyler
I don't know, I just think it'd be. It'd be funny. If this is like, what causes this, like, massive, fatal breakup. I would say I would discourage people from demanding, like sweeping firings over this because it's easy to demand blood. And then you're like, oh, now we need to spend six months confirming a new attorney general. And we already have this giant backlog on everything.
Charlie Kirk
And we do have some good deputies, but.
Tyler
We do. But what we also have is a very slow acting Senate that like never does anything.
Charlie Kirk
It's gonna be 2027 when we finally get most of the positions filled.
Tyler
Yeah, or they'll just never be filled.
Charlie Kirk
Correct. Okay, let's now go to the terrible tragedy in Texas and how DEI might have.
Tyler
All right.
Charlie Kirk
Contributed to the death toll.
Tyler
Yeah, we are. I feel like we're the only ones hitting this.
Charlie Kirk
Why is this not the national, by the way? You know what's so weird?
Tyler
Yeah.
Charlie Kirk
No one on the left is calling me a liar or a racist media.
Tyler
Again, which, you know, there are free.
Charlie Kirk
Public, they're just ignore. They're like bizarrely ignoring the story.
Tyler
Yeah. So for people who didn't see the clip on our show the other day or our tweet, what's going on here? So they have Chief Baker is the head of, I think Joel Baker is the head of the fire department in Austin, which is the nearest big city to where the floods have been going on in Texas. So Kerrville, Texas is about an hour west of Austin. And what his own firefighters are saying, the firefighter union in Austin is saying is he could have pre deployed a lot of Austin firefighter assets near Kerrville to be prepared because they knew this big storm was coming. And apparently he did not do so. According to the union, he did not do so because he was worried that it would just be a financial issue, it would cost them too much money to do it. And in fact these deployments like this are just reimbursed by the state of Texas.
Charlie Kirk
But he didn't understand he like concept.
Tyler
They were explaining this to him and apparently it could not get through his head that this was what was going on. And okay, he's incompetent. That incompetent fire chiefs happen. But where the bonus follow up to this is is that a decade ago the Obama administration sued the fire department in Austin. They said they were discriminatory as they love to do with police departments and everything else. And so they reached a settlement, pressure was on and lo and behold, the next appointment the city made for head of their fire department was the first black head of their fire department. He comes out clip 347.
Charlie Kirk
This two time fire chief wants to make a difference in the growing city of Austin and tells us he wants to start by bringing in more diversity.
Jack Posobiec
It's important that the Austin Fire Department, as much as we can reflect the community which we serve.
Charlie Kirk
I mean, so you get a more diverse fire department and you have more people unnecessarily die.
Tyler
You know, it's such a wait, do.
Jack Posobiec
We have that clip? Because I remember I was watching this, you know, when it came out because I guess the Austin Fire association said they obviously knew about this from July 2nd, but they didn't. They said they didn't want to say anything until the bodies, the recovery operations had started to wind down. And so on Monday of this week is when they did it. And that clip and I think we're gonna grab it here in a minute. That is where he, you can just hear the emotion in his voice. He said, wait a minute, we have the best Rescue swimmers in the world. And we train for the Hill country, and we know this area from, you know, issues that have happened back in the 1980s here. This is specifically what we train for. And we go to this guy who's from Atlanta, he's not even from Texas, who doesn't understand how bad it can get there, doesn't understand or care about all the kids that are there. And I remember watching this clip going, why is nobody talking about this? And then. So I sent it to Bannon. I'm just, like, sending it everywhere, and it's like, I just don't get why. Well, and, you know, it's typical. It just doesn't fit the narrative.
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. And it's just. I don't quite understand why there's just such silence on this. And so, Jack, walk us through the details. How many lives potentially could have been saved here?
Jack Posobiec
I mean, you know, Charlie, it's, it's. It's hard to say, but you have to imagine that if you have two of those boats, you know, and they could have been doing multiple runs to and from the disaster area, obviously, the first run, they'd be able to hand out life jackets, that type of thing. They'd have rescue packs. I mean, directly. Who they would have targeted for the first rescue, of course, would have been the little girls who were in this bunk down by the river. I have a little bit of training in HADR operations, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief from when I was in the Navy, just from an intel perspective, because there's always a little bit of intel input in all of these. So I was not in those operations, but just from my, you know, basic knowledge from being in the military is that, of course, you know, you would, you would. And, and having been in the Navy, so, you know, obviously we focus on a lot of rescue swimming, even though, you know, even though shout out to my Coast Guard buddies, the Coasties really do are the best of the best when it comes to that. That. Yeah, of course, you, you know, women and children. Right. You're going to be focusing on that. You obviously would. Kids. And even if you couldn't get them out first, you would have had the supplies for flotation devices. You would have had supplies for potentially, you know, rubber rafts or anything. You know, they, they have one of the biggest swift boat crews. They're considered the very, very best in Texas. And, and Charlie, I mean, these, these deaths could have been, certainly for the kids, could have been in, in single digits had this, had this order gone down or, or potentially even none of potentially even none.
Charlie Kirk
You want to play cut 380 here? Let's play cut 380. Our firefighters are trained for that area. Our firefighters have the equipment. They have the desire. They have the will. They have the power to go up. And actually, I know some of those girls could have been survived if we had had the best boat crew the day before on scene. I know it. I know it. My heart. I know it as a battalion chief. I know it as a former Swiftwater tech, myself. And the fact that.
Jack Posobiec
We didn't do.
Charlie Kirk
It and we let them down is just. It's unconscionable. It's just a terrible situation. And we don't know. Based on what happened at Camp Mystic, I doubt how many people could have been saved. But plenty of other people could have been saved, probably, right, Blake?
Tyler
Yeah. Even if one person could have been saved, like, okay, that. Why would you decide to hire based on diversity metrics? And then eventually you get things like this, and eventually people die. And it's so hard to communicate this to people because it usually is operating in this realm of. It's hard to ever say directly this thing happened because of this policy that we did instead. It's all decay along the margins. Think of it, like. Think of it, you know, like a.
Jack Posobiec
It's.
Tyler
You know, it's. I think of it actually in terms of sports. So do you remember when the packers, like, choked away that. That game against the Seahawks in the NFC championship? Yes.
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. Which year? It was like, 07.
Tyler
It was 2014. I remember it, of course. And the thing about it is, it was this big disaster. We lost the NFC championship. But for it to happen, about, like, 10 different things had to go wrong that were all extremely bad, and if any of them had not happened, that disaster wouldn't have occurred. And a lot of disasters with DEI are like that. It's that you're getting decay in all these little pace spaces that allow a big disaster to happen. So it's not specifically, oh, if we had a different fire chief there, then all these lives would be saved. But it might be. He would be a little bit more competent. Maybe their hiring would have been better because they wouldn't have been quite as diversity focused in all of their hiring, all of their promotions, maybe because they weren't doing it based on that. Their training would be a little bit better, their preparedness would be a little bit better, and all of these things along the line, and you'd be saying, okay, here and there. It saves one life here, one life there. And we'd be talking, it'd still be a disastrous flood, but maybe it would be 80 people who died instead of 120 people. That's 40 lives.
Jack Posobiec
You could even have a situation where, you know, if they've got one boat and one crew, they're just going out and they're checking which, you know, which cabins are closer to the river and they say, hey, this cabin is closer. Let's, let's just hand out some flotation devices here. We're going to just, you know, hey, best, best practices to hope you guys are ready for this. Because they were totally caught unawares. Everyone was caught unawares of this. And if you had just had people in the area who are able to do this job and deployed them, you would have done this. And by the way, you know, I'm just going to say it, you know, this is the same type of thing. And President Trump, what was the first week of his administration, we had that horrific crash at the, based on pilot error down here at Reagan National Airport when the Blackhawk, female Blackhawk pilot just crashed into that passenger plane. And you had all of those kids that were on that plane coming home from an ice skating competition. It was like a youth ice skating competition. They were coming home, they're all killed. And I remember I was with Secretary.
Charlie Kirk
Noem and we, and that story kind of disappeared. The fact that we flew, so we.
Jack Posobiec
Were at the airport and we, you know, we were flying somewhere else, but we actually flew. And I could see the helicopter in the water and I just, and I just remember thinking it's like these, these things, these disasters, it, you know, are they getting worse? And, you know, the left wants to say it's, it's climate, but it's, it really is what Blake is saying. It's just this sort of like these issues along the margins are just piling up. And it all comes back to, and yes, that did come out that it was pilot error and yes, it was the New York Times that put that all out, based on a very exhaustive investigation of everything that went in. I'm sure there were other errors as well, but that's why you really have to ask questions about what's going on when we have policies like this in place.
Charlie Kirk
But just to repeat it, like, dei, we know, ruins the culture of excellence. And there's no way that excellence can coexist with diversity, equity, inclusion. They cannot coexist.
Tyler
Your top priority is either excellence or your top priority is something else. And when DEI diversity is your chosen, it is Your other priority.
Jack Posobiec
That is your top priority.
Charlie Kirk
Just to be clear, this fire chief from Atlanta said, I want to try to make the Austin fire department blacker essentially more diverse.
Tyler
He also said gayer. He wanted to make it gayer too.
Charlie Kirk
Gayer and blacker. And in the pursuit of gay and blackness, then all of a sudden you stop to have excellence. This guy did not earn his way to the top. DEI means didn't earn it. So. And just. Blake, I want to make sure I'm not misquoting anything. Who's accusing him here?
Tyler
I believe it's the head, like the Austin firefighters. The Austin firefighters union wants to hold a vote of no confidence. I don't think that means anything other.
Charlie Kirk
Than they had a quote though, too, where their quote was that they tried to explain the reimbursement thing and they didn't understand. Yeah, like they sat down with him like, hey, if we send the stuff out to Kerrville, then the, the cost will be reimbursed. And today I don't think he knew the word reimbursement.
Jack Posobiec
He said, he said, charlie, I have the exact quote. I explained the reimbursement process to chief Baker last week and he failed to understand this very simple concept.
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. Doesn't understand the word reimbursement. Not a shocker. Here is former Houston city board official Sadie Perkins, appointed by a Democrat who sparks outrage over saying, well, mystic was a whites only, conservative Christian camp. You gotta wonder that. Was there a reason, did they fail to deploy resources out to Kerrville because of some pent up resentment towards white people?
Tyler
I wouldn't go that far, but I.
Charlie Kirk
Think I'm asking the question.
Blake
But Charlie, we have a lot.
Charlie Kirk
But does this guy hate people? I don't know. He doesn't know what a reimbursement is.
Blake
There's a general sentiment that there is, there is race war type stuff that happens outside the Houston area.
Charlie Kirk
Imagine if a white fire chief in Birmingham, Alabama failed to deploy fire stuff two to three days in advance of a black neighborhood or a black camp.
Tyler
They would say that then, and I think it would be untrue to say that.
Charlie Kirk
We have this piece of tape. You got to listen to the tape play cut 363 3.
Dana Bash
I know I'm probably gonna get canceled for this, but camp mystic is a whites only, girls Christian camp. They don't even have a token Asian. They don't have a token black person. It is a all white, white only, conservative Christian camp. If you ain't white, you ain't right. You ain't getting in you ain't going, period. And I think that context needs to be said in this matter. It's not to say that we don't want the girls to be found, whatever girls that are missing or whatever right now, but you best believe, especially in today's political climate, if this were a group of Hispanic girls, especially with them being in East Texas, it should be most likely Hispanic. If this were a group of Hispanic girls out there, this would not be getting this type of coverage that they're getting.
Charlie Kirk
Look, I think Blake's probably right to say, look, we can't say definitively that this black DEI chief that didn't understand the word reimbursement, you know, according to, again, allegedly, according to the accusation now publicly, you know, published, was that really the harbor, you know, white anti white resentment? But there is a lot of anti white resentment in this country. And, and let's just, let me just hypothetical, Blake, if all of a sudden a flood zone was going to go after the blackest county in Texas, would this DEI chief have blamed reimbursements? Would he have blamed cost? That's a good. That's a better question, isn't it? Would he have gone above and beyond if it wasn't anywhere but basically a very white area of Kerrville? I don't want to racialize this stuff. They're bringing it to our forefront front, Jack.
Jack Posobiec
Well, one, one piece of information. No, I think these are the types of questions that unfortunately we have to start asking again, because the left has spent a decade plus asking them and demanding that we look at the systemic inequalities of every decision, everything that goes down. You know, when the George Floyd situation happens with Derek Chauvin and they immediately racialize this and put it to the entire, put the entire country through this gaping inferno because of this, and it comes out that actually the guy had a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system and he had a heart tumor to begin with. It didn't matter. It didn't matter them. Didn't matter for the billion dollars that was lost in those riots. It didn't matter for everything else. That didn't matter at all. So what, we can just ask the question of how they would have reacted? No, I don't think so, Charlie. By the way, I did want to add, though, that on this Austin fire chief that he's actually embroiled in a lawsuit right now with his former, the former chaplain of the Austin Fire Department, because the former chaplain was fired back in 2021 by the same police or excuse me, the same fire chief. Why did Joel Baker fire him? Well, he fired the chaplain because. And it sounds like this is just made for conservative media talking point, but it's actually true. He fired the chaplain because the chaplain wrote on his personal blog that he didn't believe that transgenders should be in women's sports. And so police chief fired the. The chaplain, the guy who's there to like, pray for the, you know, the firemen and the swimmers and, you know, in situations like this to be there for. For families and victims. He fired him over trans in women's sports and is currently being sued under. Under first Amendment grounds. If the alliance for Defending Freedom is on board with this lawsuit that just happened a couple years ago, same guy as woke as they come.
Blake
Well, and Charlie, the point that you're making too, is really, I think, relevant because there is an animosity that exists, particularly in Texas, because Texas actually is the home for a lot of the cotillion type programs that exist, the junior cotillion that exists, and it's historically white and it's focused on white females.
Charlie Kirk
There's a huge anti white woman resentment.
Blake
Basically, the only white, white conservatives that exist now go through programs like this. And so. And this camp, this camp mystic, has a lot of that same. Those. That same aura. The families that all that do this and all that. And there is animosity that's pent up, particularly in the Houston area, because you brought up Houston, because there is this black versus white mentality that's been crafted basically since Barack Obama was president, where it's just this stoking of racial divide and animosity that exists within the country. And people have been angry and attacking these types of institutions for a long time. This camp that actually hit this massive tragedy is a camp that's very much associated with that type of upbringing. And so there is this same, like, really disgusting atmosphere that exists, and we've seen some of it online where there have been people of different ethnicities saying, well, maybe those white girls deserve to die. Maybe those. Maybe those people. And that is the type of stuff that is tearing apart the country that we're seeing. But it's a real problem that exists. And when you overlay it with this entire, the DEI hiring and everything else that you talk about that's happening in our communities where we have members of prominent members of the community, and we've seen this here in Arizona, too, that utilize the moments of racial inequality or divide to let loose the standards that we need to actually run society and then attack Other members of society just basically because they're white. Nothing ever gets fixed and actually spirals us into more problems. And I'm afraid that's what's going to happen here in Texas.
Charlie Kirk
You have three kids. I have two kids. Jack has two kids. Andrew not on screen, has three kids. And just to think that any of our kids would be jeopardized because we have to be worried about being called a racist. Like, screw you. Actually, like, we're not doing that. And this all goes back to Obama suing the Austin police Department because it's not.
Tyler
And they did this.
Charlie Kirk
It's not black.
Tyler
Not even just fire. They did this with all of these police departments where they would say, you're racist and you're hiring. So that's how we got, for example, like, Memphis Police Phoenix.
Blake
Phoenix was hijacked by the doj.
Tyler
Yeah. So they basically end up with these consent decrees. So you have to hire less qualified police who are more likely to do misconduct, more likely to do a shooting unjustified, more likely to do anything inept or corrupt because they're less qualified. And then also, you're forced to dial back your enforcement stuff. Oh, don't pull over people as much, don't arrest people as much, don't stop and frisk people as much. And that directly leads to a higher murder rate, literally. We don't even need to speculate on this. Fire. Thousands of people are dead because of what DEI did to America's crime rates and to our police departments.
Charlie Kirk
Yes. And this is just yet another example. And by the way, I've texted all my Texas people while we're here right now, like, why are you guys not talking about this? I mean, okay, yeah, I understand that there's still wreckage to be, you know, sorted out, but this is a. I mean, just to be clear, if you guys.
Jack Posobiec
And none of us are Texans.
Charlie Kirk
No. And I mean, look, I. I have a very strong opinion about kind of the larping Texan thing that we could do at a different time. And Jack knows exactly what I'm talking about.
Tyler
O boy.
Jack Posobiec
Yeah, I was talking about it on board this week. Tough, tough Texas. And just tough, tough Texas.
Charlie Kirk
Just to be fair, San Antonio is closer to Kerrville, so I think we should also find out if their fire department wasn't deployed. But Austin is a bigger city than San Antonio.
Jack Posobiec
I think actually Austin, it might be now.
Tyler
Yeah, it's close. It's weird because San Antonio is bigger itself, but it eats all of its suburbs.
Charlie Kirk
So, yeah, I think San Antonio, Austin proper, is Definitely bigger.
Tyler
San Antonio proper is bigger, but Austin's got more real suburbs, so.
Charlie Kirk
Got it. Okay, so for whatever reason, which one.
Jack Posobiec
Has more resources is the question.
Tyler
Well, Austin's way richer.
Charlie Kirk
Yeah. So therefore that.
Jack Posobiec
Wait, by the way, guys, guys, this was a. This was a statewide deployment call, so that means San Antonio also did not send pre deployment resources.
Charlie Kirk
So it was a statewide call. Maybe they did or it wasn't enough. But here's the kicker. We did not. We did not invite this. We did not, like, find a random. Here's the point. We did not, like, find a random fire chief be like, oh, he's black. This is his own firefighters accusing him of this. This is. This is his own rank and file that are saying this guy did not understand. And let me just be clear. This is a pattern. The Los Angeles fire, it was a bunch of lesbians running the Los Angeles Fire Department and the San Antonio Fire chief. Again, I don't know if she acted correctly or not, but she's a black woman. Yep. And so at some point, again, we don't know, maybe she did wonderful and maybe everyone was heroic and maybe her people think are great. But you're looking around the room. At some point, you got to ask the question, where are the qualified people? Well, are you there because you're qualified or there because you checked a box?
Blake
This is a scary part, Charlie, is that what they want to do to each of our communities is they want to balloon them so big that they're basically unmanageable and untenable and make it so that every suburban community basically becomes what was probably in the 50s, considered a large city. And so you're heading in a direction where you're not going to have the capacity to manage your local community, your, you know, your suburbs, in the way that was once thought that you could manage with like basically just direct democratic rule where you can remove people and replace people. And so they want to get in people like this that are going to continue to destroy. They're going to build up the communities, make them bigger and balloon them to sizes that you can't control. But you're going to see more of like what Blake just mentioned, like these problems on the margin that continue to exist where you and I don't have a place to live because you don't want to live in a community that's even remotely close to that size. And so what does that mean? That means excluding normal regular citizens that want to participate in society out to the outskirts of America where you can't really have Any control and they'll continue to manipulate like communists do, the large portion of the population. But I believe that this is actually part of their entire strategy is they want to have people like this in because it continues to push out people like us. Like people that have kids, they have. They just want to have normal lives.
Charlie Kirk
I'm not living in those cities. Are you kidding me?
Blake
But that this is the problem is they continue to build up the cities and insert people like this because they know that you and I probably won't leave. Right? We're going to fight, but there are people who leave that we've. And we know lots of people who have said, forget it. I'm moving to the middle of nowhere and I'm going to homeschool my kids and, you know, live the farm style life because I don't want to live in a city that is going to cause me harm.
Charlie Kirk
The fire chief, can I say something? I live in just went to Harvard. Like, what is that?
Blake
Yeah, like, this is what I'm saying. So, like, you have. You have towns that are literally, Again, in the 50s, a big city was in America, was considered like a hundred thousand people people. Today, a big city in America is considered a million people. You have. Most of your suburbs are far exceeding 100,000 people. And they're inserting people that went to Harvard as a fire chief.
Charlie Kirk
What is. He wants like the Harvard.
Tyler
That's not a normal thing. That's not normal.
Charlie Kirk
I don't like this. I'm gonna.
Blake
Yeah, but nobody wants. Nobody wants that job, Charlie. A regular person that came up through the fire ranks in McKinney, Texas, or in Gilbert, Arizona, or, you know, San Bernardino, California, doesn't want that job because of all the focus and pressure. And what they want is protection based on, you know, race. And that's the only way.
Charlie Kirk
Okay, five minute warning. Let's go to AI.
Tyler
All right. Yeah, this is just a fun one. I really wanted to hit this.
Charlie Kirk
So this one really took me.
Tyler
This is a billion dollar industry, we're told. This is a headline in the Hollywood Report yesterday. I love you. Send Bitcoin Inside the Billion Dollar Celebrity Impersonation Scam. Scam. I have to read this quote because it's amazing. In November, Margaret climbed into her Toyota Camry, left her husband of 10 years at their brick home in the rural south, and drove an hour to a hotel where she was sure Kevin Costner was coming to meet her. By this point, Margaret, 73, had spent months making weekly bitcoin deposits for Costner totaling about $100,000. He had messaged her that he was using the money to set up a new production company, which she would eventually work for with him. Margaret knew that some people would find it odd that an Oscar winner and the star of Yellowstone would need financial help from a retired office manager that he had met on Facebook. But Margaret wasn't exactly a nobody. She had achieved some renown for activism she'd done, and she had even delivered a TED Talk. She was special. And Costner saw it. It was. Of course, he was sending her her AI gener. Someone was sending her AI generated images.
Charlie Kirk
She really do a TED Talk?
Tyler
Yes. I mean, we don't know her real identity. They covered it up.
Charlie Kirk
I would cover up that some guy in Bangladesh that's like now living like a king, that was like in some slum right now. All of a sudden he, like, has slayed.
Jack Posobiec
How much money do you get off of her?
Tyler
A hundred thousand dollars.
Charlie Kirk
A ton of money In Bangladesh?
Tyler
Yeah.
Jack Posobiec
100K.
Charlie Kirk
Wow, that's. That's big money.
Blake
It's like 10 years of living.
Tyler
Do we have the photo here? We have the name. Blah. Let's get this. This photo up here because it's amazing. Like, this is happening. This has happened before, but it's like with Photoshop and AI.
Charlie Kirk
Oh, come on.
Tyler
You can make this.
Charlie Kirk
No. Yeah, you're making this. This is bad. This is really bad.
Jack Posobiec
Brains are cooked, man.
Charlie Kirk
No, stop, wait.
Jack Posobiec
So you're actually. Actually. Folks, just so you know, I have actually been on vacation in Botswana all week and all. All of the, you know, all of the Jack Posobics that you've seen lately. That's. That's all AI Human events, daily war room. It's all AI, you know, but. But this technology here. Insurmountable. Absolutely. And there's. There's no way to defeat it. I mean, just look at how seamless it is.
Tyler
And so what's.
Jack Posobiec
And the crazy. By the way, it's so cheap to use a, like a. Like a voice changer. He couldn't even use the voice changer. They had to. To hold up a picture.
Tyler
Well, so they'd use both of those and like. Yeah, and they can use like AI.
Charlie Kirk
Generally me, I promise.
Tyler
Yeah, and you can use AI Terrible because you. This is only. Right now the technology is as bad as it will ever be because it will only get better from here. They will have better technology. They can do the more realistic videos, more realistic photos. They can make the voices super accurate. They can make the text messages sound the way that they sound down. It's only going to get worse from here. And we're going to have Charlie Kurt have messaging all the people who are fans of Turning Point saying like, look, Turning Points in trouble. I need you to send me a hundred thousand in bitcoin to this address.
Charlie Kirk
It's all right. It's already a problem. Look at this. This one's totally fake. And some boomers thought it was real. Play cut 378Americans have every right to be because it should have been done sooner. For the longest time, corporations have been allowed to price gouge on regulated industries like insurance. And now because of this administration, every American has a right to go to this page and request a state applied reduction to any auto insurance bill. The subsidy lowers your payment without any loss of coverage. All carriers have to comply. And if you're a US citizen, go do it this week. So first of all, it's not everything you just saw was fake.
Blake
My grandma's a die hard Charlie Kirk fan. Watches Rav every single day. I 100% guarantee you she would fall for this. Like Grammy, if you're listening right now, like she would probably fall for this. And this is how I know too, Charlie. All the. My grandma actually had like a zillion things taken out of her bank account from the RNC stuff.
Charlie Kirk
Oh, that's bad news.
Blake
And I was pissed off about it because I went through all this. She's on a fixed income whatever, right? All this stuff. But this is the kind of stuff that's going to totally take advantage of seniors.
Charlie Kirk
Totally.
Tyler
I have genuinely.
Jack Posobiec
So this went. Wait, so this went viral on Facebook? This.
Charlie Kirk
Millions in engagement, millions of views.
Tyler
I have already told.
Jack Posobiec
Who put it out.
Charlie Kirk
Some. Some Pakistani.
Tyler
Yeah, I have already told my parents, like, you know, they run these scams where they pretend to be your kids. You know, they can. So I'm just like, look, you know, it is conceivable, like we should have like a passphrase that we can use. If you're like worried it's not actually me. I can't remember what the past phase was, so I'll have to work on that one. But don't say it on your parents about what your, your plans would be because like this is a real thing that's going to happen.
Charlie Kirk
You need a safe word. I've gotten fake calls. They also can like call from the number.
Tyler
Yeah, they can spoof the numbers, spoof the voice.
Charlie Kirk
They can't spoof FaceTime audio or they can't spoof your apps yet. Yet that's key. So. And by the way, if you have a problem, if you have any sort of concern, just hang up and call the person back. Yeah, that's big. All right, we gotta go. This show was all non AI. Just for the record, I.
Tyler
That's just what an AI version of.
Charlie Kirk
We're talking about AI in a future show. I see it getting the last. I use AI a lot. Last 30 days. It's getting worse, not better. It's actually. And I have a whole theory on it. I'm keep on catching stuff in it. The slop theory is real. It's real. It's. It's slower, it's lagging. It's also not as precise. It's cutting corners because of the volume of interest. You heard it here first. All right, everybody. See you guys next week or at sas. Hopefully it's sas.
