The Rita Panahi Show | 23 September
Episode Transcript
On Skyne Lives Australia.
Speaker 2This is the Reader Pane Show.
Speaker 3Good evening and welcome to another special edition of the Rita Panihee Show.
We're coming to you from Phoenix, Arizona, and we have a cellar lineup with guesting you tonight, including Always Stroll, Alex Side, Who'll tell me how Charlie Kirk kickstarted his career kin Disco.
Phil will have the latest on Judy Kimmel returning to TV.
Speaker 4But there is a twist in that story.
Speaker 3I'll speak to a young man determined to follow in Charlie Kirk's footsteps by hosting debates on college campuses, and he has already been met with violence and Lydia Schaeffer, better known as Conservative Barbie, condemns the vile anti Kirk hatred being pushed by celebrities including Pink and Left.
He's Losing It features this trauma.
Now, in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination, we have seen a real awakening, a call to action, with millions proclaiming we are Charlie.
Speaker 4And wanting to continue his incredible work.
Speaker 3Well, let's have a look at a man doing just that, visiting university campuses setting up a table and inviting students, faculty, anyone with a different view to talk to debate ideas.
But the far left, the unhinged, hateful left, aren't that interested in articulating their positions.
Speaker 4They prefer to do this.
Speaker 5Can you condemn Charlie the fascination of care?
I don't care?
Why don't you care?
Your contact, why don't you?
Speaker 6Hey?
Speaker 7Every single person right here from this table, he's down, that is, hey.
Speaker 8Get.
Speaker 4What can you say about that?
Speaker 3And then there are the ones pulling crap like this and thinking they're awfully clever.
Speaker 9You escape to the north away of white people who may ever have an obligation.
Speaker 1To return you to your mask.
That's something inscribed.
That's not critical race theory.
We can just die it down.
Oh I'll tell you what Kimberly crenshall cause critical race there.
She believes that a society that is color blind is actually a racist society.
Speaker 10Yep.
Speaker 3The suspect looks exactly like you expect them to look.
Speaker 4Let's bring in the.
Speaker 3Man you saw in that video, David, You and your mit camp Higbee putting yourselves.
Speaker 4In peril trying to talk to these folks.
Speaker 1Why do you do it, Rita, thank you so much for having me on.
Honestly, four a week ago, four fellas got on the call and they decided, hey, listen, we're not going to let terrorists terrorize us on a daily basis on our college campuses, especially after assassinating somebody like Charlie Kirk.
We understand that freedom of speech, especially on campuses for conservatives, is non exist and it's under threat.
So regardless of what kind of lunatics we encounter, and as you can see this is Elana, Georgia, it's one of the craziest places that I've been to on a college campus.
Regardless of how crazy they are, regardless of how they act, how they treat us, we keep going back and having these conversations with us, and we're not going to treat them the way they treat us.
We believe that having civil, tolerant discussions with them may get through some people, not all of them, and definitely not the majority of them.
But I think the main thing here is that if we can sway just one person out of one hundred people that we talked to their mind who they will vote for next time, how do they perceive Charlie Kirk for example, I think that our mission is successful and we are starting to see that.
Speaker 3Tell me about the impact Charlie's death had on you personally.
To see such a gentle soul assassinated in that manner and then the ugliness that followed with people celebrating that death justifying it.
Speaker 4How did that impact you personally?
Speaker 1That's absolutely terrible, Rita.
I've been in this space for about a year and a half, and my father always told me, if you want to be successful in this space, find somebody that you want to role model after, and I just so happened to land on Charlie for the simple fact that I really do believe that if you want to engage in public discourses shouldn't be about gotcha's or making people look silly.
You should try and change people's perception and the way they think about things.
And the only way that I think you can change my mind, for example, is not by being mean to me or making me look silly.
It's by actually engaging in civil discussions and more importantly, being tolerant of an individual's position.
That is Charlie Kirk.
That is what Charlie taught me.
I've never met him in my life, but men, millions of us feel like they've met him, especially after yesterday.
What I've learned and why I truly do love what Charlie style is, and I call it Charlie stylis because being civil and tolerant of individuals that you disagree with is what is America is all about.
And I really hope that that is what we continue to go on here because it's under true threat in America now.
It's absolutely crazy.
Speaker 3Well today at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, let's just have a look at a little of how that went.
Speaker 11There are some people who are justified in using violence and other people who don't have that right.
Speaker 1Would it be morally acceptable?
Speaker 12As we're asking, like if you can gon and shot us in the face like for our sign, would that be some people would.
Speaker 11Argue that it'd be morally right to shoot you on the face.
Speaker 1I see, I think that's crazy.
I think that's crazy.
Speaker 11If people made the argument that giving a platform to.
Speaker 1What do you think about.
Speaker 11Charlie I there's so many Charlie's.
Speaker 1Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 11There's so many Charlie's.
Speaker 13Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated behind a table just like this one.
Speaker 11I know that's the person that's trending, but Charlie Kirk was a byproduct.
Speaker 6Of people like this.
Speaker 3David, I applaud your patience and your civility, not losing your temper.
But is there any chance of getting through to people who seem to be so.
Speaker 4Actually broken.
Speaker 1Unfortunately rito with folks like this, I don't think so.
But the impact is the people around right, Ken and I had this discussion on our drive back from the university.
This person made himself look terrible and made us look incredible regardless of what we said.
Why at the end we wanted to shake their hand.
Speaker 14We did.
Speaker 1We wanted to shake the individual's hand, and they refused to do so.
That's when they told us this entire thing, that they would shoot someone like us in the face, and all the other crap that you heard there.
In the end, it doesn't help them win at all.
And the people that may think like they do or that opposed can and I's position or what we have there, they see that and nobody can agree with that.
As soon as this individual said this, and probably fifty percent of the people in the crowd, they didn't agree with us.
Everyone asked said Oh my god, I can believe he just said that.
I don't want to misgender the person, so he she, but we're still not sure.
But unfortunately we're not really doing this for them, as much as I want to say that we are.
It is more likely for a person that is in the crowd that may share a position like they do, but definitely don't agree with the overall rhetoric that they engage in.
So perhaps that's what we're aiming.
Speaker 3For here, David, you make a good point there.
It's not always about convincing someone who seems to be afterly broken, but it's all those who are watching on who perhaps are just deciding where they stand and seeing the extremness, the ugliness of the modern left, I think is providing a valuable service.
But I want to ask you about how you feel personally when you just conversed with someone and then they say that'd be happy to say you shot in the face.
I mean, that might must be pretty chilling.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's very very unfortunate for someone like myself, for majority of people, because this is America, this isn't this isn't two thousand years ago.
Where you disagree with a person and their words hurt you to the point of where you want to go commit a gruesome act of violence.
We pointed out at the end, he said that our opinions, our positions, our words truly hurt him or hurt And that's that's the problem that I have, is that if these people truly believe that my words, my positions, my opinion.
I don't have executive authority.
I'm not a congressman.
I can't enact any policy that hurts them to the point of where they tell me that because of my words, they want to shoot me in the face.
I can't believe that we got to this point in America.
And unfortunately, I don't want to at least blame on people.
I think it's a little too early to do this.
But you can stop thinking about how these people got here in the first place.
Have they been radicalized or they mentally ill?
Is somebody propagating to them something on mainstream media?
Are elected officials in citing this?
Why are people suddenly wanting to take things to a violent level or violent messures just because they disagree with my political position.
It's absurd and it's sickening the reader.
Speaker 3It is sickening, and they never wait and consider that perhaps their words are violence, and their words are hurtful and hateful telling a man who's standing in front of you that you'd be happy to see them shot in the face.
They don't see that as hurtful, but you don't respect their pronouns, and suddenly it is the crime of the century.
Now, let's look at a little interaction you had at Georgia State University.
Speaker 1Yet at some point you let me say this, y'all, O quick, we're gonna keep talking.
Speaker 5We're engaged in civil debate here.
Speaker 1Do not need to be debated about it.
Speaker 6If y'all believe in something, stand for it, walk.
Speaker 11Away from this.
Speaker 5They give him a mic.
Can you come up to the mic and discuss it?
Speaker 1Okay?
Speaker 6Okay.
Speaker 1So that's a good example of not liking public discourse, David.
Speaker 3That seems to happen a lot if a student does want to converse, their pressure not to buy others.
Tell me about that intimidation that student's face, because there's a lot of self censoring happening on university campuses.
Speaker 1Absolutely, and they do this while calling us fascist, which is the best thing about this.
But in this, for example, it didn't work out.
It simply didn't work out because he said it if you believe in something, stand for He just messed up at the end and said, just walk away.
Why would you walk away?
We live in America where we have at least a degree the freedom of speech that is given to us in the Constitution, although the government tries to infringe on it a bit, but we live in one of the only places that has this.
Europe doesn't even have this, So why would you walk away?
Especially at a college campus where you're meant to have your ideas challenged by somebody like myself for example, that is considered radical in majority of these people's eyes.
Although I'm very centered.
It fails.
It fails, and every time that they try to do this, it just shows exactly who they are.
And it makes it even better when they call us fascists at the end of the day, because they are the ones that are trying to suppress people's opinions in the public square, in our ability to have a simple discussion with people who may this agree, but we're still doing it in a very civil, tolerant way.
Speaker 4Now so far.
Speaker 3Tell me what's the most unhinged campus you've been to.
You've been to a view so far, what's the worst of the worst?
Speaker 1Well, I have to always take it back to my home place, the place I lo love most dearest to my heart.
It is Georgia State University.
I mean, that is one heck of a campus.
It is in the middle of Atlanta, death center of it.
The streets go right through the center of Atlanta where you see everything, So it's an adventure on its own.
But the people there are very friendly.
And what I mean by this is that they want to talk to you.
They may they don't care about what it is, and they don't care that you're on camera, which is why I really do like this campus.
But that comes with consequences because a lot of folks there don't really think before they act or before they say something, and if they end up in a position where I'm not again, I'm not trying to make them look stupid, but because they make idiotic claims, they may end up in a situation where they look like it because of themselves, and they get angry about that.
And just like you saw with a person of the University of Tennessee today, when people that you disagree with can't use their wards anymore, they reserve to violence, and that is our mission here on the Fearless Tour, is to make sure that nobody resorts to violence, especially on our side, because we understand a lot of people on our side are very angry after Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
So we have to go on these campuses and make sure that these folks, especially the most unhinged ones, see us right now still engaging in civil discourse rather than any violence.
Speaker 3Well, you're calling it the fear Us Tour, and you have to be feel us to do what you're doing before you go.
Do you have anyone in your family or friends who is telling you to stop these after what's happened to Charlie that it's not.
Speaker 4Worth the risk.
Speaker 1Yeah, of course.
And I want to just say thank you to everyone that always messages us this tell it, giving us recommendations.
The first day we didn't have a wall behind us.
Everyone was scared about that, so we adjusted that a bit.
But I'll just say this that my Jewish mom, who always worries about it and tells me to never do this, don't go and do this stuff, she told me that I need to go do this.
And when my Jewish mom said that I need to go do this.
I knew that we were doing the right thing, so she kind of threw away all the scare out the way.
Understood that freedom of speech is really under threat in America and that's where and I said, okay, so yeah, my mom's worried, but you know, she kind of threw it away.
Speaker 3Mama knows best.
David K thank you so much for your time tonight.
Joining me now is celebrity and royal commentator Kinsey's schofield.
Kinsey, Let's start with the celebrities coming out in force.
Jennifer Anderson, Ben Affleck, Cynthia Nixon.
Speaker 4The list is long.
Speaker 3West of Hollywood has had a meltdown about a low rating TV host being temporarily taken off air for lying blatantly lying.
Tell me, what's the latest on this, Jimmy Kimmel saga.
Speaker 9Well, I mean the latest is that ABC has led him back on the air.
We expect him to be back on the air Tuesday, with Sinclair stations saying well, hump the brakes because we continue to refuse to play Jimmy Kimmel.
So ABC stations that have our Sinclair stations, which are about forty or more aren't going to be playing Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday night.
Others that are owned by other entities will be playing Jimmy Kimmel.
But you know, the idea that these celebrities are complaining about free speech by the government, this was Disney's decision.
It was a business decision, and the fact that they can't comprehend that, you know, it's a little concerning that these people are influencing our culture.
Speaker 3Absolutely, and they were very happy with it happening when he was anybody saying anything remotely conservative, no matter how accurate this statement was, they were happy for those people to be canceled.
They were very cook to point out, these are private entities and they can decide who's on their platform, but when it's one of their own, it's a different story.
And from what I'm hearing, Jimmy Kimmel is going to double down on this.
Speaker 4Retrick sources close to.
Speaker 3The matter of reveal that is expected to come out swinging going to have a go at Disney when he returns on there on Tuesday.
And he's also threatening to double down on what got he had taken off air, which is this notion there is absolute lie that the man who assassinated Charlie Kirk is of the right.
Speaker 9I mean, it's totally hard to process if you have any common sense whatsoever.
The specifics of Kimmel's opening monologue on Tuesday remain under wraps, and it's unclear whether he will directly addressed the suspension.
One insider said they don't know exactly how he'll handle it, but he's definitely not going to back down.
Speaker 15The past week has only made him bolder.
Speaker 9They said something else about his nether regions, but you know, this is a family show, so I'll censor myself here.
Speaker 16But they talked about how something had grown.
Speaker 9In size over the last week since he's been suspended.
But they say that he really didn't want to come back, that he, you know, wanted to quit on principle he was so fired up over this, and that he's only returning to support his crew of two hundred plus.
Speaker 3Well, yeah, there's again talk that he faces a mutiny from his crew if he doesn't speak out, if he doesn't hit out at Disney.
Speaker 4The sense of.
Speaker 3Entitlement Kinsey is astonishing.
We're talking about a man being paid an insane salary to fail at his role.
Speaker 4His audience is tiny.
Speaker 3It has dropped by some seventy percent since it's peak, and the mount that show costs compared to the audience it attracts, it makes zero sense that he's on air.
Speaker 16I was thinking about that.
Speaker 9Just the return on investment here doesn't make sense when you have a YouTuber like Charlie Kirk who could sit in a room in his house by himself.
Speaker 15Now, I know he had executive producers and co hosts, but that.
Speaker 16Came along the way.
Speaker 9But when you are capable of doing this on your own and generating a larger audience, it makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 15What are those two hundred employees doing?
Speaker 9I mean, is there somebody that's running in getting him a coffee?
I have a hard time justifying two hundred employees at the Jimmy Kimmel offices.
Speaker 3Now, Angelina Joli features in Lefties Losing It Tonight and it's forgot this reason.
I'll play the clip later in this show, but she says she doesn't recognize the US anymore.
She's outraged about the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel as well, and she talked about this Kinsey while promoting her new movie Kuchua at the twenty twenty five since the Beastian International Film Festival.
Speaker 9Yeah, she said, I have to say that I love my country, but I don't recognize my country.
And then what, I'll give her some credit here because I appreciate her hesitation.
She emphasized that she was going to be very careful about what she said at the press conference.
She was critical, but carefully critical, saying, these are very very heavy times.
I'm glad that she's being thoughtful because other people haven't been thoughtful throughout this process, and I think that they've been pretty hateful throughout the death, the loss of a young father whose life was taken in front of all of us on the internet, and you know, people are going to be traumatized over that visual forever.
But I will say Jolie's dad is John Boyd, a special ambassador or special envoy to Hollywood, appointed by President Trump earlier this year.
So clearly the holidays must be difficult for Angelina versus John at home.
If they are spending any time together, They've got some different political corners that they must be navigating.
Speaker 3You are being far too kind and generous there, Kinzi.
Speaker 4I thought her statement, whilst not it could have been worse.
You're right, and we have.
Speaker 3Heard a lot worse from the celebrity class.
But it was still inane, It was still asanine, and it was still divorced from reality.
It showed what a bubble she existed.
She talked about what a citizen of the world she is and as she lives nowhere, But that statement showed she exists in a very tiny bubble, regardless of where she travels to.
Speaker 4Now, I want to.
Speaker 3Speak about the Obamas with you, because they were spotted boarding Steven Spielberg's two hundred and fifty million dollars super yacht in the Italian riviera, and they.
Speaker 4Would do this precisely the same.
Speaker 3Time that we had so much of the country watching Charlie Kirk's memorial and being really moved by a significant moment in this country's history.
Again, it shows the atta divide.
Were there any Democrats current or past who we now attended Charlie Kirk's memorial Yesterday?
Speaker 15I looked this up and I couldn't find anyone.
I could not find anyone.
Speaker 16Which was pretty devastating.
Speaker 9I mean, I thought Charlie Kirk's memorial was a really edifying and gorgeous display of unity.
When Christian artists Phil Wickham sang to a Pax stadium when I fight, I'll fight on my knees with my hands lifted high.
Speaker 15Oh God, the battle belongs to you.
Speaker 9That was completely in line with Erica Kirk's message that the right didn't burn down cities.
After we lost someone that was important to us, we mourned, and we turned to God and each other, and we the way we dealt with this was through love and prayer.
Meanwhile, the Obamas were on Steven Spielberg's yacht a debating whether Steven Spielberg could create a movie made about the Obamas that he would be interested in directing and definitely producing.
I'd rather watch a movie about Charlie Kirk, but that's just my opinion.
Speaker 3This is what's wrong with television and cinema at the moment.
There are just so many projects that there is no demand for.
But the activists are going to make sure these projects come to fruition.
Now, Utah Valley University, where Charlie Kirk was assassinators had formed the UVU Memorial Committee to create a monument for the conservative activist Kinsey.
Speaker 4Surely this is going to happen.
Speaker 3Surely there's going to be monuments on university campuses all across the country.
Speaker 4Think at a minimum that is called for.
Speaker 16Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 9The university shared this news on Monday, stating it would listen to community voices and carefully consider but many perspectives surrounding the memorial.
They added that it has already received an outpouring of support, ideas, and suggestions from students, faculty, staff, community members, even business leaders and elected officials, and they emphasized that public input will guide the project's direction.
I'm grateful that they're doing this because they could have tried to ignore this horrific moment in history, and instead it seems like they're trying to learn from it.
Speaker 3Taylor Swift, we have not spoken about her for a couple of weeks, and people get withdrawal symptoms when if you don't address the Swift issue.
Now, a process server has been arrested while trying to serve Taylor Swift with deposition papers from Justin Baldoni's legal team at her.
Yon says Travis Kelsey's home, canse he tell me more about this?
Speaker 9You know, you see it that way and you're like, oh my gosh, that how unfair, how unjust.
However, the guy was charged with jumping the fence onto a private residence in a private neighborhood at around two am.
This happened on September fifteenth.
Okay, sounds like he went above and beyond allegedly trying.
Speaker 16To serve Taylor Swift.
Speaker 9If you know, two ams might cut off when trying to serve pop stars.
Speaker 16But what a wild story.
Speaker 4That is a wild story.
Speaker 3I've got to say he's lucky he did not get shot getting up to those antics at two am.
Kinsey Schofield's always a pleasure.
Thanks for your time tonight.
Thank you coming up left He's losing it and Alex Stein joins me, and you'll tell me how Charlie could kick started his career.
You're watching the Rita Panehy Show, and it's time for Lefty's losing it.
Speaker 4Let's hear from Angelina Jolie, who.
Speaker 3Seems to be suffering from a severe case of TDS.
Apparently she doesn't even recognize her own country.
Speaker 4Maybe get out of that bubble love.
Speaker 10I love my country, but I don't at this time recognize my country.
And I think that's but I am I I've always lived internationally.
I've always my family's international, my friends, my life, my worldview is equal, united international.
Speaker 14So anything anywhere that divide or of course limits personal expressions and freedoms and from anyone, I think is very dangerous.
Speaker 4You know what that nonsense is about.
It's the whole Jimmy Kimmel saga.
Speaker 3But I don't recall Angelina Jolly or any other Hollywood blowheart saying anything when Rosanne was canceled from her own show, or Gina Krano, a fellow actress who made a very mainstream comment and saw her career destroyed, or when conservatives from all walks of life have been silenced.
But suddenly Angelina and the rest of Hollywood are concerned about free speech.
Speaker 4You know, the very same folks I rate about.
Speaker 3Jimmy Kimmel's little suspension, all those democrats and commentators, and let's not forget he was suspended for lying on air and refusing to apologize.
Speaker 4The same people I rte.
Speaker 3About that and who suddenly care about the First Amendment were not too concerned.
Speaker 4But it was their ideological.
Speaker 3Opponents being silenced and deplatformed from the president down.
Speaker 4You think we'ficult on.
Speaker 17This shouldn't be banned from one platform and not others if you for providing misinformation out.
Speaker 1There, there's no guarantee of free speech on misinformation or or hate speech, especially around our democracy.
Speaker 18There are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda.
Whether they should be civilly or even in some cases criminally charged, is something that would be a better deterrent.
Speaker 8If people go to only one source, and the source they go to is sick and that has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block.
It's really hard to govern today.
Speaker 16This is a matter of corporate responsibility.
Speaker 11Twitter should be held accountable and shut down that site.
Speaker 3It is a matter of safety and corporate accountability.
Speaker 12The First Amendment is not appsent.
It does not protect any single thing.
Anyone says.
There are limits, and that's important.
And what this committee has been trying to do for the last year and a half is to chill the federal government from monitoring what is going on social media.
Speaker 4When you look at.
Speaker 19What Tucker Carlson and some of these other folks on Fox do, it is very clearly incitement of violence, very clearly incitement of violence.
I believe that when it comes to broadcast television like Fox News, these are subject to.
Speaker 16Federal law, federal.
Speaker 19Regulation in terms of what's allowed on air.
Speaker 15What isn't.
Speaker 14My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways.
Speaker 3And thanks to Tom Elliot for that compilation.
And here's another hypocrite to add to the least the views, Sunny Houston.
Speaker 4She was all for a Zanbaing ex but Jimmy Kimmel apparently beyond approach.
Speaker 17Our founders drafted the First Amendments specifically to protect the rights of citizens to criticize the government.
When you crossed that kind of societal norm, you must pay the consequence, and firing her was the right thing to do.
I'm thrilled at ABC did it.
Speaker 3Let's check in with Right Child Meta MSNBC ancha right Child Meta and here she is doing a free ad for Antifa and any other leftist group wanting to protest the Trump administration.
Speaker 20You may have already heard this, but the organizers of the No Kings rallies, remember the No Kings rallies that happened happened back in June.
Those huge protests in June that attracted more than five million people across the country.
Organizers from the No Kings events that happened back then have just now announced the date for the next No Kings demonstrations.
They're going to be October eighteenth.
So that's going to be no threat owns, no crowns, no King Saturday, October eighteenth.
That's about six weeks from now.
Speaker 4Did you get that?
Is it in your diary yet?
Don't miss out?
Speaker 3Rachel needs you out there, and the ad went on and on.
Speaker 6Listen.
Speaker 20Indivisible organizer Ezra Levin did an interview about it with Rolling Stone today in which he told Rolling Stone that there isn't a single large like flagship event they want everybody to travel to on October eighteenth.
Instead, they just want protests everywhere.
Speaker 3That's what passes for news reporting on MSNBCA and talking about protests.
Have a look at these a lefties losing it trying to behead a Trump effigy.
Granny has lost her marbles.
These are the people we need to unify with that no thank you now here is one way to stop protesters from being pests.
Here are some transactivists trying to disrupt a turning point event being drowned out by chance of USA.
Speaker 6Fun.
Speaker 3Now let's go back to the View for another meltdown, this time courtesy of Anna Navarro, who is having paranoid fantasies about Trump coming to get her.
Speaker 21This is what dictators and authoritarians do.
It does not matter the ideology.
At first, they come with the but with big platforms.
At first, the silence the press, but then they come for all of us because their intent is to scare us into silence and self censorship.
And look at the things that this government has done.
They kicked the ap out of the Oval Office for not saying Gulf of America.
They cut the funding of NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Speaker 4Yes they did that at anacus.
Speaker 3Those organizations were not news sides, but left US propaganda outfits.
And they're free to exist.
But they do not deserve taxpayer funds.
They are not entitled to funding from the US government.
But Anna wasn't done yet.
Speaker 21The meltdown continues, and I will say to you all, to all of us, Look, we have seen tech titans go into the Oval Office.
We are seeing media mogules, publishers of newspapers.
We are seeing all of them try to make the peace with Donald Trump.
A bully of always comes back for more.
So they need to stand up and we need to demand the same from ourselves.
Speaker 3Joining me now is a Conadian and host of Prime Time with Alex Stein on Blaze TV.
Alex, I saw you at Charlie's funeral yesterday.
Speaker 4I know you two were close.
Tell me what yesterday meant to you.
Speaker 13Well, yesterday it was a very special day.
I mean, you were there.
Speaker 6I was there.
Speaker 13I wish you got you know, could have spoken a lot longer, but there were so many people there, and I just would describe it as a spiritual revival.
A lot of people there might not have even believed in God, but when you walked in that building, it was impossible not to actually feel God like.
It was actually palpable.
So that's how I would describe it.
It was like something I've never felt before or probably we'll ever feel again.
Hearing top level people in the Trump administration talking about God, It's something that you know, I didn't really expect to happen, and Charlie made it all possible.
Speaker 3He did make it possible.
And the Vice President JD.
Van said he's talked more about God in the past two weeks than he has his entire political career.
He's always felt a little bit uneasy about doing that publicly, but Charlie's changed that for him.
Now, tell me about how Charlie Kirk kick started your career.
Speaker 1Well, you know, Charlie did it in multiple ways.
Speaker 13One of the first ways he did it was he shared one of my crazy videos, just like you shared one of my crazy videos before anybody knew who I was, and it blew up and it got a million views.
And in the video, I pretended to be very pro abortion, and I kind of talked about you know how much I loved it, and I really sounded disgusting and gross.
But because the video was so real well received, it just like it just you know, this light bulb went off in my head.
Hey, in order to lampoon the stuff that I want to make fun of the most, I need to pretend to be that stuffed culture jams.
So Charlie kind of gave me and steered me in the right direction when it came to creating viral content.
And on top of that, you know, I've been able to go to so many college campuses because of Turning Point USA, because of the organization that Charlie started that I would have never been able to without him, Like Berkeley and I mean, you name it.
There's schools that I could never have gotten into academically, but I get to go speak to their students all because of Charlie Kirk.
So I'm indebted to that guy for life.
Speaker 3Now let's have a look at a little of how the BBC covered Charlie Kirk's funeral.
Speaker 11Mister Kirk built a huge and devoted following for his far right views and his eagerness to debate with opponents.
Speaker 4Enough of that the far rash.
Really, that's how they're going to describe Charlie Kirk.
Was Charlie Kirk far rash Alex.
Speaker 13I mean, Rita, It's such a ridiculous accusation to say that Charlie Kirk was far right.
I mean, the guy wanted to help and lift all voices, black voices, female voices, Asian voices.
I mean, he did a coalition.
He brought four hundred young African Americans to the White House to me Donald Trump during Trump's first term.
So the guy loves to help people out.
He loves to help young people especially, and he does not care about their race, He does not care about their gender.
He just wants to help them.
Or actually, technically he doesn't care about their gender.
He doesn't want them to be transgender.
Speaker 6But you know what I.
Speaker 13Mean, let me digress.
Charlie Kirk is not far right.
He's one of the most moderate guys in the world.
And somebody taking out Charli Kirk has probably only made this country more far right, sadly, not that I mean, I don't want to say that sadly, but it's just I think it had the unintended consequences.
Speaker 1That he wanted.
Speaker 3Alex, I know exactly what you mean.
There are always going to be a couple of people who go too far, but the overwhelming sentiment is of goodness and the country moving in the right direction.
And you talked about how spiritual the day was, and you know, was moving when even those who are not religious and those who identify as a is.
Like great comic writer Graham lyonon the man behind Father Ted and Black Books, he had this to say about what he.
Speaker 4Witnessed during Charlie Kirk's funeral.
He said, you don't have to be.
Speaker 3Religious to recognize a martyr when you see one, Alex, is that how you see Charlie.
Speaker 13Now, Charlie one thousand percent is a martyr.
He died for free speech, doing what he loves, protecting the First Amendment, and he would protect the Second Amendment.
I think he would wholeheartedly even after this horrible tragedy.
So anybody that was in that building, whether it was Graham or whether it was you and I, you could feel the metaphysical presence of the Lord of God in that building.
It was truly a site that I have never seen in my life.
So Charlie has this way to turn atheists into believers.
And no doubt in my mind is Charlie a martyr.
He died, you know, protecting what he loved the most, freedom of speech.
Speaker 3And there was actually a section during the day when people who are not believers but who want to believe are asked to stand up, and there were few in the crowd who did stand up and people prayed with them.
So that was really quite a moving moment as well.
Now let's have a look at the other side.
Let's have a look at how this professor of European politics, John Brennan described Charlie's funeral.
This is a funeral where Charlie's grieving widow, Erica forgave the killer.
But this is how an academic chose to see it.
He said, it was America's Nuremberg Rally, almost like we were living in nineteen thirty five.
Extremism worshiped like a religion.
Alex, that's an academic.
That's why so many kids are messed up, depressed, nuts, And that's what Charlie was trying to counter.
Speaker 13Exactly right.
All of these administrators and teachers are part of the and why kids are so unhappy.
And I can see why a building full of one hundred thousand people just getting in this zone and praising the Lord and coming together that can be a threat to an atheist teacher that wants to doctor n eight kids into thinking that their life has no meaning and that they just evolved upon scum and the two rocks are smashed together, and they evolved literally from nothing.
So they have a totally different worldview than anybody else in that building.
So when they do see a revival like that, a literal Christian revival, I'm actually not surprised that they have that reaction because they hate to see other people celebrating and having a good time because they want people to suffer.
Speaker 1Like they suffer.
Speaker 4Alex.
Speaker 3It shocks me that you could have the grieving widow of Charlie Kirk forgiving the killer on stage and someone could watch that moving moment and still compare the event to Hitler.
I mean that just shows you how far gone some people are.
I want to move on to other issues and the Trump administration designating Antifa as a terrorist group?
Speaker 4Do you see that as a step too far?
Speaker 13I personally don't see it as a step too far, because we need to figure out who is funding these radical extremist groups.
And if you look back, I mean, the government will always label any group that's not even that extreme as extremists.
So this has been a long time coming.
When we're talking about Antifa, they have done horrible things, not just to Andy Noa, you know, a huge journalist that was assaulted and stocked by Antifa, but their whole agenda is to create as much chaos and damage and they do not.
Speaker 1Care if people get hurt.
Speaker 13So I hope that Donald Trump actually figures out where these people are getting money to commit crime and make our country safe so I'm happy.
I don't want a bunch of government overreach when it comes to Antifa, because I've dealt with these people.
They're freaks.
They need a little government intervention, and they all should be on some sort of registry, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 3Yes, Alex, we've seen Antifa and their acts of violence for years now, finally a little bit of accountability.
I can see why many see them as domestic terrorists.
Alex Stein, thank you so much for your time tonight.
Speaker 19Thank you.
Speaker 4Reata still to come.
Speaker 3We take a look at the vile Antikirk hatred being pushed by celebrities.
The Conservative Barbie joins me.
Next joining me now is commentator and former Turning Point USA ambassador Lydia Schaeffer, also known as the Conservative Barbie Lydia.
Let's start with some of the reaction we've had to.
Speaker 4Charlie's incredible funeral.
Speaker 3One of the most impactful and memorable events in modern US history.
And I don't say that lightly.
I don't think we're going to see anything like it for sometime.
It was beautiful, but ugly.
People only see ugliness, and we're going to bring you some examples from popstar Pink to this, dude.
David Pacman, who posted the Charlie Kirk funeral is absolutely disgusting, riddled with speeches that only dial up the temperature.
Stephen Millers was particularly vile.
What's your response to that, Lydia.
Speaker 22These people are sick.
This is demonic.
This was a memorial that honored Charlie Kirk in the most respectful way.
This memorial brought so many people to Jesus, and I'm blown away that people like this can find a reason to be offended over it, can be angry about it.
I saw so many tweets today, not just his It's sick.
Speaker 4It makes no sense, Oh, Lydia, You're right.
I could have picked one of tens of thousands.
Speaker 3There are so many, but I've picked a few that have gone viral, like this one from Morgan, who writes, this wasn't about honoring a young man's.
Speaker 4Life of political service.
It was a rally.
Speaker 3It was mass conditioning through weaponized faith, with death repackaged as a turning point, a ten hour stadium revival, stitched together from nationalism, the glorification of military enlistment, and biblical martyrdom.
This is the machine, and even had pyrotechnics.
Yeah, these people are so confused.
They don't understand what honoring Charlie meant.
They don't understand what he worked tirelessly towards and why the service yesterday was precisely what he would have wanted.
Speaker 2These people are miserable.
Speaker 22I've never seen anything like it, and it just seems to be getting worse.
I mean, these are the same people that cried over mean tweets, but now they're glorifying a political assassination.
Speaker 2It's mind blowing to me.
Speaker 4Do you see any healing with these people?
Speaker 3Because we've had so much talk of unity, about turning down the temperature, coming together, and yet I am saying just this doubling down from elements of the left, and sadly it's not just a free element.
There's many mainstream Democrats who are also echoing these sentiments.
Speaker 2Great question.
I'm curious.
Speaker 22I mean, this is not what you just asked, but I'm curious if there were any prominent Democrats yesterday that attended the funeral.
I mean, it's a nice thought to think that we can bring people together.
And I will say on social media, I have seen a handful of people that claim to be on the left say that they are leaving the left.
Speaker 2They're leaving that side.
Speaker 22They finally have seen the late So that's reassuring to see some of these people just on TikTok and Twitter.
But for the rest of them, I think that they're happy in their misery.
It's disgusting and it's demonic.
Speaker 2I'm telling you, I think these people have.
Speaker 22Demons in them and I am truly praying for them that they will see the light.
Speaker 2But I'm not so sure it's going to happen.
Speaker 3Well, let's hope they say the light.
And pop Star Pink Superstar really Pink.
She's come under fire for seemingly mocking Charlie Kirk's memorial on Instagram.
She posted that pop Goes the Weasel should have played at the service, and Lydia, she deleted that post after getting a backlash.
Speaker 4What can you say about that?
Speaker 22I actually haven't seen that, and I've never liked Pink, and this just confirms why.
Speaker 2I missed that.
Speaker 22Actually, and I'm glad she deleted it because there's way more of us than there are of her, so she should have taken it down.
Speaker 4She looked silly, Lydia.
Let's move on to Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 3We've got Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck joining more than four hundred celebrities who condemned ABC's decision to indefinitely suspend Kimmel's late night show following his remarks about Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 4They signed a letter penned by.
Speaker 3The American Civil Liberties Union calling for the protection of the constitutional right to free speech, and just hours later, it was announced that the show would be returning Lydia.
I don't know if perhaps those celebrities put some pressure on ABC, but it's kind of amusing to see all these people who never really had anything to say when people in their industry were being canceled.
But now they care about the First Amendment, They care about free speech.
Speaker 22Right, so they cried and he got his showback.
What about the countless conservatives all through twenty twenty one, twenty twenty who had all of their social media accounts band they cried that it was a private company, they can do whatever they want, but now someone's employer let them go because they weren't performing well.
And celebrities get together insane a petition and cry about it.
Speaker 4Typical it is.
Speaker 3And they somehow find a way to play the victim, even in this tragedy of Charlie Kirk losing his life to an assassin who seems to have been brainwashed by these hate from this absolute indoctrination.
Lydia Schaeffer, thank you so much for your time tonight.
Speaker 4I appreciate it.
Speaker 2Thank you so much.
Speaker 4And that's it for tonight.
Speaker 3I'll see you tomorrow at eleven with Douglas Murray coming up next, It's Newsnight.
