E (6:31)

Have registry okay yeah.

A (6:41)

The video goes on for quite some time the amount of filth crime and violence that we put up is insane i remember i asked someone at my hotel like the doorman concierge i said hey is it safe to be here in south korea and he didn't speak great english he said safe what do you mean safe are you worried about getting mugged or things getting stolen he said oh no no no things are safe in your room no no i got that but like you know walking the streets of seoul and i was trying to of course overcome the language barrier you know are you worried that if you're on a bus or a subway something is going to happen to you like a car accident no like are you worried that someone's going to come and do something do something like it was as if i was communicating not just a different language but a different planetary reality that someone would feel unsafe in a major city like seoul south korea now we are a wealthier country than south korea we founded south korea which i will talk about later this hour thanks to the heroism of general macarthur and now as i'm coming back from asia and i'm looking what's happening in washington dc chicago and of course the breaking news of this new footage we have of the stabbing murder of the twenty three year old ukrainian refugee irina zarutska a young white lady who was stabbed to death by a black criminal by a complete stranger on a train in charlotte now you might have not seen this footage yet this is becoming national news and the left is doing everything they possibly can to not to talk about it the media is very uncomfortable about this story if you watch this video this guy was sitting minding his own she was minding her own business he was minding her own business she was also dressed in like baggy clothes comes up takes out a knife stabs her to death fourteen times he was previously arrested one four times fourteen times he comes up and just stabs her to death situations like this are a nearly daily occurrence in our cities and i'm coming back from from two nations japan and south korea that are poorer than us that are not as populous as us and their cities are not just safer they are different planetary realities as if i went to saturn and we live on mars we do not have to live this way you can create a society and a culture where you can get on a train or a subway and not be arena zarutska and get stabbed to death in the neck because some black criminal decides i'm just going to go do it fourteen times he was previously arrested and all of the koch brother funded liberal criminal justice bs is the reason why guys like him are still on the streets fourteen times let's put this back up on screen and irina zarudska why did she come to america she was fleeing violence in ukraine it turns out it's more dangerous on subways in charlotte north carolina than a war zone in ukraine the associated press wrote zero stories about this over the weekend pbs new york times npr wall street journal bbc cnn washington post reuters msnbc zero stories now they're finally fixing that but the stories they're writing like this repulsive headline from axios this morning the gruesome attack of the fatal knife attack in arena zyrutska on a light car rail in charlotte has maga influencers seeking to elevate the issue of violent urban crime oh this is all about maga influencers now oh it's not about the fact that a white ukrainian refugee was murdered just because she was white everybody knows that obviously stabbed to death and by the way the other sick part which has now become the new urban way everyone just kind of sat around and didn't administer first aid for ninety seconds just glued to their phones we don't have to live this way she survived a war but couldn't survive progressive criminal justice reform the focus of our leaders trying to say well we need criminal justice reform we need more people in jail we do not have enough people in prison in america we do not have enough people in jail we don't have enough people that are arrested on the side of the streets that is a constant theme of this program we're going to we're going to repeat this throughout the hour the charlotte criminal had passed convictions for armed robbery felony larceny breaking and entering and shoplifting he should have just been in jail for his entire life they vilified three strike laws but we shouldn't let them they work we need to arrest more people we need more criminals we need less accommodating criminals and we need bigger prisons we need to fill them up with these types of disgusting people even if you think it's a bit overhyped ai is suddenly everywhere from self driving cars to molecular medicine to business efficiency if it's not in your industry yet it's coming fast but ai needs a lot of speed and computing power so how do you compete with costs spiraling out of control time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud oracle cloud infrastructure or oci oci is a blazing fast and secure platform for your infrastructure database application development plus all your ai and machine lear workloads oci costs fifty percent less for compute and eighty percent less for networking so you're saving a pile of money thousands of businesses have already upgraded to oci including vodafone thomas reuters and suno ai right now oracle is offering to cut your current cloud bill in half if you move to oci for new us customers with minimal financial commitment offer ends march thirty first this is an amazing offer oracle is a very very impressive company see if your company qualifies for this special offer at oracle dot com kirk that is oracle dot com kirk email us as always freedomarliekirk dot com comma vikramaswamy and senator rick scott join us two great men who are in new york city right now trying to warn about zoran mamdani and what he represents welcome to you both vivek i want to start with you vivek this attack in north carolina was obviously preventable there's a racial component to this as well which is a black criminal which assaults and stabs a white woman to death and the media wouldn't be bothered when george floyd overdosed on the sides of the side of the street in minneapolis everyone decided this was the most important thing since pearl harbor vivek ramaswamy running for governor of ohio what are your thoughts of this situation more broadly the crime issue in america yeah.

E (13:26)

Look i mean what happened in charlotte's unconscionable but at the same time we wouldn't be talking about it here if it were just a one off this is part of a national pattern you look at my hometown of cincinnati look at the incidents of just a few weeks ago which share some of the same dimensions you just described charlie you look at what's happening in places like new york city where i am with senator scott today to la this is something that represents a broader breakdown of respect for the rule of law in the country and you know in this broader conversation about who are we as americans that's a core part of who we are as americans as we believe in the rule of law that's part of what founded this country and the degradation of the respect for the rule of law i think is almost even more frightening than any one individual incident and that's what we're going to have to turn around frankly ohio where i'm looking to govern we've got we're the state of cities you got cincinnati cleveland columbus toledo akron youngstown it's sad to watch the cities in the heartland of the country to our coasts go down the tubes but the good news is.

C (14:29)

We know how to solve the problem.

E (14:30)

You were talking about some of it bring back actually sentencing standards that reflect the standards of the crimes bail should not be granted to somebody who is a repeat offender with ease and with you know smooth as water now for many of these people to get back out juvenile crime is a major issue after the COVID school closures deal with the juvenile courts even for people who are older juveniles in ways that actually recognize violent offenders and even would be criminals for what they are common sense but what we're missing is leaders with the spine to see it through that's a big part of why i'm running in ohio we're going to get it done in ohio and frankly if places like new york or otherwise fail we need bastions like ohio like florida like it's been in the past for people to actually pack their bags and move and that's what we're creating senator rick.

A (15:14)

Scott from florida is with us senator scott what is your take on this situation and i do want to talk about new york here but what can the us i mean you know acting as if the us senate's going to do anything unfortunately is laughable because i mean not you but your colleagues are quite lazy but theoretically what could the us senate do to prevent repeat offenders like this from prowling our streets well.

C (15:38)

First off you know your heart goes out to this lady's family i mean i mean you just imagine sitting on a train right and then all of a sudden some guy starts stabbing you and killing you if you think you know i mean charlie this bothers me so much you know the biggest thing you can do and i've got look i have two daughters i have seven grandkids is the you can't imagine anybody in your family in that situation so what we've got to do at every level of government whatever we can do at the federal level whatever we can do at the state level whatever we do at local level we have to enforce our laws we've got to put criminals in prison they need to serve their entire sentence right we cannot be soft on crime i mean i want my family to be safe i want your family to be safe and the next family to be safe so what can this what can the citizen do is for federal crimes right for federal crimes make sure the sentences are stiff and people serve their time on top of that we need to help our local law enforcement every way we can i'm very appreciative what the president has done in dc what this guy's done i mean dc is a place where i didn't want to walk around nobody wanted to walk around in dc it's not safe to walk around in dc what he's done in dc is he's made it a place that you can walk around now there's way more people outside now walk around in dc than there was before the president brought in the national guard so but every mayor every governor and we've got to all say this is the most important thing we ought to be doing right now keep people alive keep people safe senator.

A (17:11)

Why are you in new york what is the significance of that of your.

C (17:14)

Trip well what i'm trying what vivek and i are trying to do is give people in new york enough information to make better decisions this idea that the center of capitalism new york city is going to elect a socialist to defund the police eliminate opportunity open up a a a a city run grocery store is okay he's anti semitic i mean it's it's just i mean socialism is horrible for everybody so what we're trying to appear to do is just get people to think about this race and how bad it's going to be for new york city now more people are going to move to florida right more people are going to move to ohio right but you know is it good for the people that are stuck in new york no it's not good for the people that stuck it's it's bad for a country that the center of capitalism has somebody that wants to get rid of the police this is he's they're going to continue to make under socialism this place will be new york city will be an impossible place other than for billionaires he what he's going to do on housing he went he wants to put a cap on rent well that means if you're if.

E (18:20)

You own the building are you going.

C (18:21)

To put any more capital in so so i lived in public housing growing up who grows up who grows up in public housing boy this is where i want to be the rest of our life right public housing doesn't work so long term and that's this this place is going to become a disaster it's going to be scary to be in new york city and so i hope they come to their senses and.

A (18:42)

Elect a capitalist vivek what it looks as if the odds on favorite are that zoran is going to win why is that i mean you are a political expert in some ways you've run for president you're gonna be the governor of ohio what is the appealing what is the appealing element of zoran mamdani.

E (19:02)

Well you and i talked about this when you visited ohio charlie which was a great visit you had i mean i think that part of this is a wake up call also for republicans to understand we can't just sweep the issues he's talking about under the rug it's that his solutions are completely airbrained but you think about the affordability crisis it is real especially for a lot of young people think about homeownership getting outside the reach of being able to afford as a thirty or thirty five year old even if you're working hard and playing by the rules is that a real problem yes it is but how are we going to fix it it isn't through rent controls it's through increasing the supply of housing cutting through the red tape that stops new home construction land use restrictions that stop new home construction that's the kind of solutions that we need to be talking about and so i do think it's a kind of wake up call for republicans the same thing what's the difference between the wealthy and everybody else i mean we're sitting here in new york city today but across the country including new york city what's the difference between wealthy and anybody else whether you own an asset that compounds you got to get that started at a young age young people are going to turn towards socialism if they feel like they don't have skin in the game like they feel like they don't actually own assets that they watch somebody else becoming a billionaire off of but the better solution to that is start with financial literacy let's start with parents putting away ten thousand dollars in the s and p five hundred at a young age every kid is going to be a millionaire if every parent does that for their kid on the day they're born and is there a role for the government to play to potentially create incentives in that i'm open to it and so i think we got to think about the future of capitalism which i embrace wholeheartedly i think it's the best system known to the history of man to lift people up from poverty and we shouldn't apologize for it but how do we create capitalism that everybody's actually able to enjoy the upside of and i think that increases our long run commitments to capitalism rather than socialism and that's the conversation we need to be having on the right as well and so you know as senator scott said we're here to inform people hey hopefully they can vote for the right person in the ballot box but if not inform them of alternatives come to ohio when i'm governor frankly you got a lot of conservative minded common sense rational patriotic people in new york yes they do exist exist in big numbers and many of them are going to unfortunately have to choose to leave and i want them to come to places like ohio where i'm leading hopefully back to the leadership position of the country but when we think about the country as a whole one of our learnings as conservatives as republicans is that we too ought to be talking about the affordability crisis because we're the ones that actually have the solutions to address it but that's what we got to step up and do instead of just sweeping it under the rug especially for young people who i think are really tuned into these questions of participating in the upside of capitalism and affordability which i'm all in favor.

A (21:48)

Of vivek what just give our audience a quick update how are things going on your very important campaign in ohio and then i want to segue more to some tape here of zoran yeah.

E (21:58)

Look things are going well in ohio running unopposed in the republican primary and what should be a red state this is the cycle that solidifies whether ohio is a red state or not and i think that we want to permanently solidify that in the midterm year of trump's second term but one of the things i'm most focused on that's resonating is educational reform bringing standards to our public schools and frankly charlie a lot of people even who are independents even former democrats are coming our way for that issue alone so i'm excited on bringing some of those reforms bring down property taxes while improving education people in ohio thankfully are loving that and i'm hopeful we're going to be successful let's.

A (22:35)

Go to this cut right here this is zoran mamdani he can he says he's a transformed man play cut two hundred ninety nine many of my opponents.

F (22:42)

Chiefly andrew cuomo would prefer to debate a mythical version of myself than the person that i actually am they would prefer to focus on tweets from twenty twenty as opposed to the platform of.

C (22:52)

Twenty twenty five what you're really saying is that those tweets of twenty twenty you've evolved from that you've changed from that you've changed your views yes that.

F (23:00)

Those are out of step with the campaign that we are running and it's.

C (23:03)

Been clear out of step with how you feel yes so you've totally changed.

A (23:07)

Your mind yes okay senator rick scott is he a change what a joke.

C (23:14)

What a joke i mean listen to what people say i mean this is what the guy believes he believes in his heart oh but it won't work for a campaign he did a poll that won't work for the campaign so don't don't trust no don't worry don't worry about what i said before and how i've acted in my life look at what i'm running on because that's all i want you to think about now i'll go back to where i really am as soon as i get elected i mean what a joke don't trust somebody like that by the way if he can take oh i love the police today but i hate him yesterday and you trust him you have to be an idiot to believe that.

A (23:49)

So vivek let's play another piece of tape here let's go to cut three.

F (23:54)

Hundred and five we've seen that donald trump use the law as a suggestion he believes that it's something that he's above and what he's showing is that he's willing to utilize any tool whether those real or imagined to try and shape this race we are confident that no matter what formulation this race takes whether it's me versus three candidates or me one on one with any one of them will win the race but what we cannot stand is the affront to democracy and the idea that it is a president who could pick the next mayor of the city and not the people of that same city vivek.

A (24:24)

Your response look i mean he's usually.

E (24:27)

He'S using this to his advantage he's clearly a skilled politician he has a completely boneheaded wrong policy ideas but he's trying to use everything in his favor to really go to the new york electorate and putting him into office and frankly that's the dominant odds of what's going to happen but the bigger picture forget the horse race of this particular mayoral election i do think that sometimes sadly a country a great nation like ours needs to actually learn the lessons of what the alternative looks like and unfortunately if he is elected which i'm not rooting for but if he is elected let us at least use it as a country to learn the lesson the best way to combat the popularity of socialism is is probably for people to try what the fruits of socialist policy really are that's probably what's coming to new york city if he's elected the good news is we still have our system of federalism people can pack their bags and move i like i said before i'll say it again we're going to make ohio a haven for people who share the values of this country including capitalism to come thrive but every once in a while there comes a time where if people really lose their way thomas jefferson said it well the government we elect is the government we deserve and if that's what new york city elects then in some sense it's a lesson that deserves to be learned for the country and i hope some good still comes out of it so i'm not rooting for that outcome but if that's where we're headed frankly i don't think engineering some other alternative outcome is the answer it's actually true learnings of the deep lessons underneath and just think about the sad reality also that the entire country i've even been meeting old friends in new york city who would have never voted for andrew cuomo in years are now praying that it's andrew cuomo i mean look at where we are he's a guy who got rid of cash bail he's a guy who was opposed to fracking who was against nuclear energy and he is somehow the savior that everyone is is praying and hoping for think about where.

C (26:15)

We are and what that says about.

E (26:16)

Where new york city is and in some measure even where certain directions of our country's currents are headed we got to turn that ship around in a bigger way and i think it's going to be deeper than just you know messing around with the horse racing of this particular election in one mayor of one city that matters this is a symptom of a deeper issue in our country and i think the only way we're gonna get around it is reviving the ideals that made our country great the first time meritocracy the pursuit of greatness the rule of law bring it back don't apologize that's who we are and i think that's really the moral of the story at the end of.

A (26:52)

This senator scott final thoughts on zonran mamdani who looks to continue to be on pace to be the next mayor of new york city i don't know.

C (27:01)

One person that's moved from venezuela that's a socialist i don't know one person that's moved from cuba in florida that's a socialist so people have lived under socialism know it's really bad ultimately it only ends up in everybody being broke and so if you want people to have the opportunity like vivek had i had you had to live our dream it's all tied to capitalism it's all tied to opportunity and freedom so i hope new york comes to their senses i hope this doesn't happen to them but there's going to be bastions of opportunity and that's going to be ohio.

A (27:34)

And florida senator rick scott and vivek ramaswamy thank you so much and keep up the great work thank you both.

C (27:41)

Bye bye thanks see you charlie.

dot com comma use discount code charlie to get thirty five percent off plus a free bottle of fiber and spice the other component of the mamdani thing is that he's a foreigner he's obviously not an american we've said that repeatedly on this program and that ties into the second part of my trip to when i went to japan i think we can all agree that if ten million pakistanis went to japan they don't become japanese japan is a very unique country and objectively tokyo might have been the most impressive city i've ever visited from how clean it is from how seriously even the just everyday workers take their job the bus drivers wear white gloves they bow when you go on they take their little job so seriously but there is an effort underway in japan as there was a big effort underway in europe and our country to bring in a bunch of foreigners and to say well you know they're japanese too japan could maybe assimilate ten pakistanis or one hundred if they didn't take any more right away but a million and we know they're not assimilating at that point and we saw a little bit you know just a little bit in tokyo you know mohammed in there mohammed in here like ooh that's interesting i didn't know i was in paris i didn't know i was in london but the point is this and this ties with zoran mamdani if you do not have a picture of national identity then you're going to be in a lot of trouble now america's picture of national identity is different than japan's japan is tied to their ethnicity and that's okay it works for them and it's unbelievably impressive we have a different picture of national identity we are of course a people and also a propositional nation we're both japan is something different though and they should be allowed to be different japan is not a propositional nation japan is a people they are an ethnicity they are a genealogy and it's worked incredibly well for them they are one of the oldest and greatest cultures and civilizations isn't it so striking that the globalist forces they want to try to destroy any culture any city that is working and functioning so there's a major movement in japan it's called the san sido party that is ascendant and they are calling out the private quiet infiltration of foreigners into japanese society and i'm cheering them on because here i am as an american wanting japan to remain japanese it would be a demerit for the planet it would be a demerit for the world if all of a sudden japan fell the same way that paris fell and they do things differently they're not a christian nation they are a shinto nation they are one that has traditions in japanese culture and the samurai and duty and honor and i think that's awesome in fact dare i say i actually want the diversity amongst nations our national identity changed after the second great immigration wave of the nineteen tens and nineteen twenties but we are still a nation founded on christian european settlers with norms and customs and faith emanating from western civilization from christian civilization and you shouldn't want to change america and you shouldn't want to change japan because we we already know what has happened when you change paris and you change london national populism is a check against globalists and we shouldn't go impose into tokyo being like well tokyo you guys are too asian let's just by the way let's apply the left wing framework what's so interesting is do you know they're calling japanese racist for not wanting to take immigrants oh you're racist because you don't want to take a bunch of arabs in your country you're racist because you don't want to take a bunch of indonesians in your country and japanese are like racist what do you what does this word even mean what do you mean it is a purely western moral framework that we're overlaying against a multi thousand year great civilization so here we as westerners we can't help but be somewhat colonialist and imperialist so left wing imperialist colonist forces are coming in and scolding japanese politicians for not taking immigration and honestly japan does not want to commit political and cultural suicide and we commend them for that japan should close its borders japan should say nope we're going to figure out our birth rate problem which the japanese birth rate problem is bad but it's not as bad as korea's left wing colonialism equals open borders it is a soft form of imperialism and i saw it firsthand because the country works it is an objectively functioning country it is not south africa it is not angola it is not bangladesh you don't have to go in search of a solution like whoa we have major problems in tokyo and by the way how often do you hear from politicians here in america well be very careful we might end up like japan end up like japan you mean where you can ride the subway without being stabbed in the neck where everything works and the streets are clean and people are polite yes japan has issues and i'm going to talk about that throughout the program by the way which is that there are problems in asia that i'm glad that we actually have a we have a different diamondism a different energy a different entrepreneurial spirit that you don't have there and i think that's significantly lacking but they have a stable orderly beautiful lasting society and that's a really important thing and not only that i felt welcome i felt honored i felt received but we should keep japan japanese and people say well charlie they have gun laws well before they have gun laws they have third world laws you don't need all these gun laws if you you know you don't it's okay if everybody owns guns if you don't have a bunch of third worlders coming into your nation that don't abide them and then commit a lot of crimes japan has a high trust society so does south korea and they do not have a a massive influx of foreigners that are constantly changing and eroding the trust structure now in japan not only are they tough on crime they have the death penalty and their jails are really intense and one of the aspects that i think that was so telling of the entire trip is that it shows that we in america have actually done the hard things but it's the very simple things crime is not hard to solve you just have to stand up to the democrat soft on crime you know open prison prison reform nonsense you need political willpower to be perfectly honest with you and far too often we as americans we put up with stuff we shouldn't now the left say well gun laws are why asia is so safe now mind you i'm not even getting into the fact that the no gun crime how does the left then explain the no muggings the the no stabbings the no graffiti the no homeless and the no bums how do you explain that let me tell you right now japan has no lack of knives go to any sushi restaurant they're everywhere and they say well strict gun laws equaled nice stuff and no crime it is a complete misnomer no they have high trust society is what they have anyway so let's go to another thing here okay let's play cut two hundred eighty five okay everybody i'm here in seoul south korea as you can see everyone they have these like inflatable cushy chairs everyone is reading this would last about thirty five seconds in most american cities you can have nights you can have nice stuff crime is a choice we shouldn't put up with.

E (36:33)

It.

A (36:37)

South korea doesn't we shouldn't either this video really bothered the left it went completely viral and they said oh the cushy chairs are there because they have gun crime nope it's actually nothing to do with gun crime at all all actually it's that they have a high trust society they don't have a city that is littered with third world foreigners they don't put up with homeless people and they don't put up with crime they have community they have people that trust each other they speak the same language actually unlike our nation we're a country increasingly of foreigners i mean of gun control not gun crime it's not an issue of gun control and the the other takeaway when it comes to a high trust society is you must have a serious picture of national identity we do not have a picture of and it's again i'm not saying it's racial it is racial in south korea and japan they've decided to govern that way and it's actually a really nice place to live i'm not even prescribing that to the united states of america we have a different mission statement we are both a people and a proposition some people don't like that we're a proposition but part of our national compact is propositional it's not simply just a people but if you are only a propositional people and you are not a people at all if you're just a proposition and not a people you don't have a nation if you're just an idea i used to believe this garbage like ten years ago america is just an idea not true by the way let's just put three hundred twelve b roll these are just pictures of luggage sitting unattended outside convenience stores in south korea let me show this to you do you think this has anything to do with gun control people just leave their stuff out and open outside of a convenience store in south korea look at that you just leave your luggage you're shopping you just leave your stuff no one's going to take it literally we were at the south korea airport and blake and i walked around i was like blake where's your bag he's like oh i left it at the airport i left it at the gate so what do you mean he's like yeah no one's going to take it you just leave your stuff laying around does gun control have anything to do with that is that having to do with gun control to the american left no it's not a high trust society you just leave your bags around no one cares just no one because no one's going to take it it's a civilized society we could live this way we decide not to we decide to live in this high crime infested violent third world place and again we are the greatest nation ever but this is a problem we shouldn't have to live when it comes to crime these are basic quality of life issues where you're going to have a big rollerbag be like yep i'm just going to leave it on out here i don't need i know i don't need to guard it they don't have an attendant they don't have a security guard they have one thing that we do not have they have a high trust society we should try to restore it private student loan debt in america totals about three hundred billion dollars about forty five billion of that is labeled as distressed why refi refinances distress or defaulted private student loans that others will not touch they provide you with a custom loan payment based on your ability to pay go to whyrefi dot com comma why refi does not care what your credit score is when the payment on your distressed or defaulted private student loan is so big that you can't ever get ahead in your finances why refi is surely your best option go to yrefi dot com youm can even skip a payment every six months up to twelve times of that penalty go to yrefi dot com that is yrefy dot com i guarantee you somebody in this audience has private student loan debt issues well get out of debt today at yrefi dot com because of private student loan debt so many americans feel helpless and they've even lost hope why refi gives you a light at the end of the tunnel so go to yrefi dot com yrefi offers a three minute rate check without any credit impact go to yrefy dot com that's yrefi dot com joining us now is megan basham author of shepherds for sale and daily wire culture reporter megan i'm so glad to have you on here you live in charlotte where the killing of aryna zarutska occurred who was an incredible person a ukrainian refugee comes to america and was murdered in cold blood for no reason a senseless killing by a black person if a random white person simply walked up to and stabbed a nice law abiding black person for no reason it would be an apocalyptically huge national story used to impose national sweeping political changes on the whole country instead megan basham no one seems to care when a white woman gets stabbed to the death her death why is that yeah that.

Was pretty shocking to go you know for two weeks now none of our major media outlets have covered her at all not run one word they finally started to cover her a little bit this morning but only because of the massive public shaming because this video was so very shocking and what i really want to emphasize here charlie is that this is not a dangerous question part of town where zarutska was killed it's a very lovely popular part of town bustling restaurants trendy restaurants boutiques my family and i go there frequently on the weekend so this was an area where you will see families on the weekend she's a young woman twenty three years old a refugee getting off work at a pizzeria and gets onto that light rail so you know the initial reaction of our democrat mayor was appalling she said that she she didn't mention irina zarutska at all in her initial statement instead what she called for was compassion for the perpetrator who she said is suffering from mental illness just like cancer or heart disease so we're supposed to have empathy for him as some sort of victim and she said that we cannot arrest our way to safety which is of course ridiculous yes we can if we put people behind bars when they're a public threat we can have safe public streets but you know just to go a little bit more into the weeds on this i want to let you know that our current governor who was then attorney general his response has also been appalling so back in twenty twenty within two weeks of george floyd's murder he had not only issued public lament well i think at this point we can say it was not a murder but he issued public comment over george floyd right over george floyd's death and instituted a new task force for racial equity in criminal justice system so he initiated an entire task force for george floyd's death but it took him longer to acknowledge irina zarutska's death it took him two more days than it did to acknowledge george floyd even though this happened in his own state where he is governor so if you look back at what that task force that he implemented in twenty twenty did they specifically called for more lenient pre release policies meaning they wanted low bail or no bail for minority offenders they also called for decriminalizing homelessness and quote unquote public behavior meaning being a public menace on the streets so these were the very policies that allowed this perpetrator decarlos brown to be on the streets and he did in fact receive pretrial release back in january on his most recent arrest because he's been arrested fourteen times before including for grand larceny and breaking and entering and assault with a deadly weapon and almost every time he has been released and given fines and community service and probation he has not been behind bars where he belongs and so these were the direct policies that came out of that racial equity task.

A (44:06)

Force i have so many questions here so let me just ask a micro question has this been talked a lot about in local communities in charlotte north carolina are people understanding the racial element here that a random black guy murdered a white woman is it shocking the community what walk us through what's happening locally here because i would imagine it.

B (44:26)

Should be yeah i think it is you know one of the things you're hearing is that this was a light rail that we all felt perfectly safe using just a few years ago and we don't feel that way anymore because of these policies you are suddenly seeing an increase in homelessness in the charlotte area you know we came here in twenty sixteen and when we first got here you really didn't see panhandlers public disturbances on the street you see that now when you go into our uptown metro areas and so i think so many people are feeling that and when you look at the increasing rates of crime in charlotte you can trace it back to twenty twenty so our last homicide high was in twenty twenty when the black lives matter riots were occurring on our streets and the second high of homicide rates in charlotte were now twenty twenty four so we don't have it for twenty twenty five yet but for twenty twenty four when they were up twenty five percent from the year before when these racial equity policies started taking effect so yes i think people are very much waking up to the fact that all of these sort of black lives matter dei pushed policies are having a direct impact on our safety because the argument was for the sake of racial equity we need to not jail black offenders we need to give them fines and probation and look charlie this guy's mother decarlos brown's own mother tried to get him involuntarily committed she has said he was not safe to be on the streets and she actually tried to do something because she knew he was a threat and instead we have a criminal justice system here that was sold out to social justice instead.

A (46:07)

Of actual justice so i now i want to transition to the christian element here so you have a great book shepherds for sale you've also called out all the wokeism stuff has stephen furtick whatever his name is spoken out against this because he was really big elevation church big blm guy about george floyd has stephen furtick the popular mega church pastor has he spoken out against the black criminal who killed a white woman on a bus cuz he's in charlotte.

B (46:34)

You know i haven't specifically checked on what steven furtick has said but it feels like if he did speak out that would certainly be something making news in our area and i have heard nothing about that in fact i have heard nothing from many of the weird that's strange yes from the social justice pastors who are very popular in this area derwin gray is another i have heard nothing from him and so you have so many of these church leaders who got on board with black lives matter they got on board with these dei policies and now they have suddenly very much backed away from quote unquote political issues now that we're starting to see the fruit of what these policies have borne and it is actually the innocent citizens of north carolina who who are bearing the brunt of these policies.

A (47:18)

Why is it that pastors were so quick to talk about the drug overdose of george floyd but they won't talk.

B (47:24)

About this well i think it's pretty obvious why you know at that time there was a desire to curry favor with the progressive wing to be winsome and so that's why they really want to appeal to the i would say the elite class of our society and when they look at the elite class they see the new york times the atlantic cnn and those are the people who they want plaudits and applause from and so those are the people that they will go out and appeal to and yet when you see crimes like this where this you know horrific stabbing of of an innocent young woman who came here from a war torn country and it actually turns out she probably would have been safer in her war torn country than in a large american city they go very very quiet because that is not appealing to that particular urban upper class professional that they want to appeal to so suddenly you know we had so much politics from these people prior to donald trump's election in twenty twenty five and now we hear nothing from them now it's let's not politicize the pulpit even though you know this is a moment for pastors to speak into because you have a community that is hurting that is scared and they want to know you know what are some of the answers to this kind of pain and look the bible does have answers about justice if a man like this had been incarcerated and punished as he should have been when he initially broke into people's houses when he committed armed robbery when he committed assault with a deadly weapon then he wouldn't have been on the streets to commit these crimes but they don't talk about those elements of biblical wisdom and that tell us that the government exists to terrorize the unrighteous and the wicked not to ensure that the innocent can be terrorized and that's exactly what's happened.

A (49:12)

In this situation so just to repeat the largest pastor in charlotte north carolina is a guy that is steven furtick he's got tens of millions of followers on social media he posted endlessly about george floyd endlessly and yet he has not had a single tweet of a murder in his own city it's really weird isn't it he was really upset about a drug overdose of a black guy in minneapolis but not a murder of a white woman in his own town email us as always freedomarliekirk dot com how's your health doing meghan i know you've been fighting some serious stuff give us an update if you feel.

B (49:43)

Comfortable sharing yeah absolutely and thanks for asking so i was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer last thanksgiving and you know went through some rough treatment but post that i have been declared no evidence of disease praise god so we're just continuing to pray for no recurrence and you know now i get the fun part of being told i need to put weight back on so you.

A (50:04)

Know i'm enjoying life oh i want that that would be a dream kind of prescription from a go to in n out burger i could do that quite well and we have lots of them here out west so megan you wrote this amazing book shepherds for sale all about how our pastors are selling themselves out to the highest bidder on this racial issue though i know you've mentioned it it's so frustrating cuz again we have a catalog of the current kind of christian ruling class of what they did carl lentz who's obviously been disgraced george floyd should be alive it's not acceptable to kill him blah blah blah steven furtick this is what steven furtick said he said quote he said he said if you only post a simple prayer emoji and scroll on we need to challenge the system and sickness that created and enabled the death of george floyd i am part of the problem is what stephen furtick said i mean i could go through the list of just the nauseating christian leaders and i just what is it getting better and how do we call out this from some of our christian authorities you.

B (51:16)

Know i don't know if i would say it's getting better i haven't seen any of this leadership come out and say you know what we were wrong and they were wrong because what they did was accept false narratives that we had a policing system in our country that disfavored black americans and that's simply not true the data does not show that and so they were backers of policies that have now made us more unsafe and have led to incidents like the death of irina zarutska and so what i have found mostly is that no one's really coming out and repenting of that they're just trying to sweep it all under the rug and pretend like it never happened i mean look i want to be clear the president of the largest protestant denomination in the us the southern baptist convention told southern baptists that they needed to use the phrase black lives matter that they needed to lend that support to a marxist organization that was trying to dismantle police systems so there has been you know a real cost to that they were out marching with these people and now we see with that ideology and that policy has brought i mean we can see it in chicago we can see it in dc prior to a couple of weeks ago and we see it even in previously very safe cities like charlotte where the homicide rate has exploded so as we look at this you know it's really frustrating to me to see some of these pastors trying to pretend like they weren't a part of that in fact what you're kind of seeing them do now is reposition themselves and they're using more conservative language i have seen that i can give you the example of someone like that as former sbc president pastor jd greer who pastors a large church here in north carolina you know he was very much a part of backing social justice and black lives matter and now he's suddenly using more conservative language but he's not acknowledging the part that he played in that and that's what i'm seeing again and again is that you know i think they know that there's egg on their face but because of that what they're doing is just trying to they're calling it the great rehab tour they're all going on their great rehab tours to sort of pretend like hey we weren't a part of that and you will not hear them talk about black lives matter or social justice anymore even though they were so instrumental in promoting that movement back in twenty twenty i.

A (53:32)

Think you're right and it shows that we've made a lot of progress but we still have yet a lot of work to do and so i just the christian world i know is becoming more center right it's becoming better on this not every pastor has to comment on every issue the reason why steven furtick is necessary is that it's happened in his hometown right and so he felt necessary to call out george floyd overdosing on drugs in the streets of minneapolis but something that happened in his own city and that is inescapably biblical it says that your city matters your nation matters your hometown matters and the welfare of such final thoughts megan basham author of shepherds for sale well yeah.

B (54:13)

And i really want to point out that when they did that it didn't have no impact they gave aid and comfort to a deceitful destructive movement and so those policies that came out of that deceitful destructive movement are exactly what are making our cities unsafe right now and that is why we are seeing things like young women being murdered on a light rail train just when they're trying to get off work and go about their business because we dishonestly bought into something that was simply popular at the time and that compromise comes with costs and we're seeing that now.

A (54:50)

Charlie kirk here ready to own a home the time to act is now for the first time in years buyers finally have the upper hand more inventory more negotiating power and less competition but this window of opportunity won't stay open for long as soon as the fed cuts rates buyer demand is expected to spike driving prices up and giving sellers the advantage once again with peak home buying season in full swing now is your moment to secure the right home on your terms don't wait for the market to shift reach out today to get approved for mortgage financing with andrew and todd at andrewandtod dot com or call eight eight eight one one seven two these are the guys that i trust with forty years of experience they really are the experts and they make it easy because they keep everything in house call eight eight eight one one seven two or go to andrewandtod dot com that is andrewandtod dot com alex marlowe is with us alex marlowe is the editor in chief of breitbart news breitbart dot com alex great to see you the terrible news of irina zarudska getting stabbed in the neck and the silence from the media i mean you've done a great job of covering the media throughout the years this was an intentional cover up campaign by not covering this at all from the major media networks yet george floyd dies everyone covers this relentlessly tens of thousands of articles a day alex marlowe your thoughts yeah charlie.

D (56:07)

You couldn't have scripted this i mean it felt like this story was out of fifteen years ago or something that the media wasn't covering it after all of this purported hang ringing that hammering that's been going on that they've been really looking themselves in the mirror see where they've gone wrong why the media is the least trusted industry of any industry in america and then they have the easiest opportunity ever to get a little bit of credibility just by writing up the biggest story in america and they won't even write it they won't put one column inch into it in the new york times the washington post completely ridiculous but it's something that we all could have seen coming and it just shows you what we discussed on your show like five days ago charlie this shaping up to be a law and order election the next election as of now it's a long ways off law and order is the number one topic and you could see a fourteen time a guy been arrested fourteen times a ukrainian refugee out of nowhere there's no context for it at all there's no provocation at all there's video of it this is the nightmare for the left so long as we get the word out and that's why the media.

A (57:03)

Covered it up and yeah it just talk more about this so let's go a level deeper here alex because what how do these newsrooms operate because what you're defining what we are articulating is a conspiracy we are articulating a silence conspiracy of media networks that intentionally do not cover how does this work in practice is there a group chat where they say no we're not gonna do it obviously i think that's unlikely but is it also that they just have a they have a narrative that they're trying to accomplish and they all know the goal because when you go when you have a dozen outlets msnbc new york times bbc wall street journal abc cbs nbc boom boom boom boom boom and they all technically have different owners and different editors and different reporters and not one covers this story what's going on here is there a how do they harmonize with such incredible efficiency yeah.

D (57:59)

They'Re so coached up and they've been coached up for decades on this and you've been so kind to promote all my books lately but my first book breaking the news which i wrote about four years ago i tracked this it's all corporatism it's all about that the corporate boardrooms of all these media companies are controlled by people who want democrats elected they see that they're the true oligarchs you're bernie sanders talking about oligarchs these are the real oligarchs and the problem is you cover stories like this and it looks bad for the left because they want to talk about george floyd where there's no element of racism that was involved at all and they treat it like that was the biggest racial hate crime of all time even though george floyd was on drugs and was resisting arrest so then you have an example like this where you see a black guy stabbing a white woman for no reason how else could you view this other than as racism if we looked at the world through the lens of the establishment left and so they know if they cover this clear example of racism then that nullifies times one hundred any of the george floyd covers they've already done so they can't cover it they have to ignore it and hope it just goes away because to cover it reveals that they've been lying to us the whole time which.

A (59:01)

They have been the incentive structure of the media is so broken and we've been waiting for their collapse and they're not quite collapsed but they're definitely in a in a situation of decay you could say the the right wing world online has been largely covering this and has been kind of keeping it alive why did this become a bigger story just because of the video what about the video was so animating because it was very interesting i was in japan and south korea and someone in japan mentioned hey charlie here what happened to the ukrainian girl in america i said yeah didn't that happen two weeks ago because i actually saw the story when it originally happened i said ukrainian refugees yeah no no no it just happened and actually didn't just happen it happened two weeks ago just the video was just out there can we get the still image of this though just on screen for dramatic effect alex marlowe yeah.

D (59:50)

So first of all to your first point i think it's really important to note that the incentive structure you use the word incentive structure these media companies all lose money they all lose money and that's why they stay in business because they protect the corporate status quo you take a company like abc which is part of abc disney so the abc news can lose money because they're protecting brands like the disney brand which can make a lot of money through theme parks and through movies and through streaming and stuff like that so abc exists to cover for the disney brand nbc nbc comcast universal nbc news loses money nbc news is designed to keep the nbc comcast universal that entire structure afloat and if you look at their board it's all top democrat donors and people who are fat and happy living off of america's largesse and those are the type of people who are being protected by these newsrooms that's why they don't do stuff like report on china accurately because there's no incentive to because their corporations all make money off of china you look at new york times boardroom it's all people who are aig and facebook and all these executives from all these other major corporations and once you see that then you understand what they're choosing to cover and what they're not choosing to cover so but to your point about the video the video shows the innocence of it this is a public transportation small white blonde girl and a black guy who's in a rage out of nowhere no provocation at all no interaction at all the clear nature of i'm seeing this person i'm taking out all the rage i've ever had in my life on on her like that and that there's it's unequivocal because of the video evidence there's no way to spin it there's no way to act like there's any sort of a justification or explanation for it and that does make it all the more.

A (61:29)

Powerful alex there's another i want to shift gears here a second i think that's the right analysis there's a new poll out according to nbc news steve kornacki released it from men who voted for trump versus women who voted for harris men who voted for trump they asked what was the important to personal definition of success thirty four percent of men who voted for trump believe having children is more important than anything else even more important than financial independence and a fulfilling job and career for women who voted for harris fifty one percent the most important thing for them having a fulfilling job and career the last thing the least important thing for women who voted for harris is having children the this is this is like a bombshell shocking thing we knew that some of this existed but we did not know it was this dramatic the last thing the least important thing for them is having children having children is right there at six percent being married is six percent at the very bottom of the poll i guess it's technically second to last because fame and influence is the last but based on what i was looking at alex marlowe what explains this why do so many democrat women want to die alone yeah it is.

D (62:39)

Remarkable and they've all been coached up and it's the way that we've run our institutions from our culture to our media to the way things are promoted online you'll get your famous your favorite female podcast host aside from the great right wing political ones but if you're is not a right wing political show host by female they probably got an episode on why i waited to have kids or why i don't need a man all of that stuff happens all the time and it's getting through to people who look out on the world and they feel like well it sounds very expensive to have kids it sounds very hard and all of these cultural inputs are saying that you're going to be less happy and the left tries to deny our biology constantly it explains the whole trans phenomenon they teach people to deny their biology nonstop just look at the whole what we witnessed last week with robert kennedy all these people who deny science trying to lecture him on science that is the nature of the world that we're living in and telling women to not have kids clearly has had an effect on some people but there has been a backlash and and you're seeing that in the positive side of this poll which are young men who are seeing more than ever having children is a positive that is a complete rebuke of the system which is telling young men that what you need to do is you need to play the field you need to be free to be able to sew your wild oats or whatever that was the environment i grew up in charlie but there's been people like you people like me who are out there saying actually it's really rewarding to get married and have a family and have children that's the best thing you can do clearly that message is getting through so there's a huge level of positivity with the men but the women i feel bad for them right now because you're getting.

A (64:09)

Lied to by everyone yeah and again so it's just more about the poll so women who voted for kamala harris liberal women they were asked what are the top three things to rank them and they didn't even have to consider kids in marriage being top three let me just read the entire poll this goes to show why liberal women are so unhappy why so many liberal women are on antidepressants why so many liberal women are just neurotic and just so unattractive to young men because their number one thing is fulfilling job and career then having the money to do things you want having emotional stability what are all this hyper narcissistic liberal women inherently are incredibly narcissistic fulfilling job and career having money that you want what's the number one thing for men men want children now what's amazing is that conservative women too trump voting women did not put children as a top five goal this is a problem that transcends political lines this is a again it's way worse obviously on the left but it's still bad on the right and it's the men who want kids it's the men who want children it's the men who want marriage what are the implications of this for our politics alex marlowe.

D (65:18)

Yeah we need a rejection of modern feminism which has told women that you'll be happiest if you if you are act as act like a man and this is something that is not true i think they all know it's not true but there's also the problem which is that life is expensive and people want to make money as much as possible and so thus they will maybe tell themselves that i'll be happiest if i focus on that and not on family but the focus has to be on family and you have to use that to drive you to create a family unit that creates a lot of success so we just need to keep the positive messages coming as much as we can control it charlie and pray that it gets through to as many.

A (65:52)

People as possible alex marlowe is author of breaking the law that is breaking the law i have so much more to say about this it's just a shocking poll and again this is bad civilizationally everybody where women who voted for harris the least important thing second least important thing is having children bad news that is a hyper narcissistic generation of women that will have a lot of cats a lot of antidepressants a lot of wine no children they follow their leader kamala harris has no biological children hey everybody charlie kirk here we are saving babies with preborn there are twenty four thousand eight hundred and thirty six kindergarteners starting school this month who wouldn't be alive today if it hadn't been for what preborn did in twenty nineteen that's how many babies were saved that year because of the gift of ultrasounds from people like you when a woman considering abortions sees her baby on that ultrasound and hears the baby's heartbeat it doubles the chance she'll choose life dollar one hundred forty gives mothers a free ultrasound and saves babies two hundred and eighty dollars can save ten babies and just twenty eight bucks a month can save a baby a month for less than a dollar a day and a fifteen thousand dollars gift will provide an ultrasound machine that will save babies lives for years to come whether you want to save one baby or five or hundreds it's just a phone call or click away join me now by saving babies that's eight three three eight five zero two two two nine i'm a donor to preborn and you should be too or click on the preborn banner right now at charliekirk dot com that is the preborn banner at charliekirk dot com check it out right now alex why don't you plug your book here other things you're working on at breitbart.

D (67:29)

Dot com yeah thank you charlie very relevant today because with the e jean carroll ruling from the second circuit the most absurd law fair case that i document in breaking the law with a cruel unusual punishment at the end i think the supreme court is going to throw out at a minimum the punishment here but this was all cooked up by reid hoffman and by george conway to try to get trump embarrass him before the election law fear lives on it is the biggest threat right now to the maga movement they're working night and day to try to make trump's life difficult and try to make whoever falls in his in his footsteps charlie people like you and me make our lives very very difficult so that we can't operate in this space without getting harassed by the legal system what was.

A (68:04)

The eugene carroll said i saw a little news on that just yeah yeah.

D (68:07)

She they so trump is appealing basically on the same grounds of the letitia james verdict which was the penalty was thrown out for being cruel and unusual which i predicted in breaking the law because the eighth amendment which it was similar thing happened with eugene carroll that was the one where trump allegedly raped her in a bergdorf goodman the case is completely absurd start to finish i got a big thread on my x feed if people want to go over there and check that out you can read all the details there hilariously absurd and she asked for fifteen million dollars and the judge rewarded her ninety million why no one knows but trump tried to get that thrown out and the second circuit upheld it but it'll go to the supreme court and i think.

A (68:44)

It'Ll die there alex marlowe author of breaking the law great to see you my friend thanks so much thanks charlie this poll from nbc news is remarkable and we know this and this is this is a fact liberal women are less happy and more lonely what's funny is when you say this to liberal women they scream at you that they're super happy and it's so obvious that they're not quote young liberal women are especially prone nowadays to reporting poor mental health this was the discovery that zach goldberg made almost five years ago pouring over pew data in the spring of twenty twenty further research in twenty twenty two found that depression has surged among liberal high school girls in the last decade and only about half as much so amongst other high schoolers especially conservatives and the hatred of donald trump fills the void for so many of these people and coming back from asia i could tell you you do not want to live in a country of declining birth rate if you have a declining birth rate then they say we need more people because we have a declining birth rate the study goes even deeper here why the mental health of liberal girls sank first and fastest we are a decade into the largest epidemic of adolescent adolescent mental illness ever recorded it's time we started treating social media like automobiles and firearms i'm not so sure about that but so for men who voted for harris being married was ranked last but what's amazing is that women who voted for donald trump being married was really low on the ladder the top thing for women who voted for trump is achieving financial independence having a job or career you feel fulfilled owning your own home being spiritually grounded which is okay that's better have enough money to do things you want to do modern women this polling shows modern women have become incredible narcissists and that's not an accusation it's just what the data shows and maybe it's true maybe it's not true i could tell you on college campuses it's one hundred percent true men are worried more about duty and obligation that's why men are going back to church what am i supposed to do what should i ought to do what is the essence of my existence getting married and having children is a values based decision and women have to stop thinking about themselves all the time me me me my body my choice my decision yes of course you have the freedom and the agency to do that but not only are you ending up miserable the country is suffering because of it this poll shows more than the right versus left thing that the values of american women have been corrupted the values of american men haven't really been corrupted actually there's a lot of problems with men but men want what is the best men want to get married men want to have children men don't just want to have well the most important thing is to be able to have the money to do the things i want that's completely irrelevant a bunch of trinkets a bunch of trips a bunch of selfies traveling the world there is also the marriage effect theatlantic dot com writes quote a common narrative is that commitment and motherhood makes women unhappy new data shows the opposite is true we know this we've said this forever instead of my body my choice it should be my family my community my church my country instead of my body my choice it should be my kids your body your choice will end up having you miserable and we again we've said this forever but now we have an abundance of data to show it theatlantic dot com shows that marriage makes you happier wow what a concept and whenever i go to these campuses charlie i'm super happy why would you say i'm not happy screaming into the mic and oh i can't this wednesday this thing's about to explode because we talk about traditional gender traditional not gender sex norms and you know some people say well you know i could do it all this wall street journal piece that shows that women can do it all for some women yes but some women actually don't want it all married mothers are the happiest women in america the data shows it married women with children forty percent happiness no children they're the least happy actually unmarried with children are the least happy interestingly so you should get married and have children and then they don't want you to own any homes they want you to rent and be single and be happy i'm sorry we need to reject this entire paradigm but this shows that young men are in a very good spot young men want the best stuff if this poll showed that men were not wanting children that would be a problem but isn't it amazing the women hilariously it's the women that get the most fulfillment once they end up having the children they're like wow something's unlocked in me yeah it's called the biological beauty that god built inside of you if you look at this data right here though men who voted for trump having children thirty four percent of the most important thing you think that men are career driven no men would rather have kids rather than being financially independent something strange is happening here usually it's the biological clock inside of women that is going off now it's the biological clock inside of men you know what it is it's god given direction men are natural leaders so men know that they must lead society towards having lots of children and lead women towards having lots of children the silver lining is that if men are coming around women will likely kind of come around so much here my message to the women of america get married and have children you'll be happier and the country will be better off thanks so much for listening everybody email us as always freedom at charliekirk com thanks so much for listening and god bless.
