Charlie Kirk Today | Eric Metaxas: January 29, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | January 29, 2026

Brought to you in part by the
00:00:00.790 --> 00:00:02.492
International fellowship of christians and jews.
00:00:02.492 --> 00:00:15.105
First up,
00:00:15.405 --> 00:00:16.206
Ilhan omar was sprayed last night.
00:00:16.206 --> 00:00:18.741
She was attacked or at least approached.
00:00:18.741 --> 00:00:22.178
And the internet's losing its mind.
00:00:22.178 --> 00:00:24.747
And i just want to say a couple things.
00:00:24.747 --> 00:00:26.850
I know we have the video here.
00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:27.984
Go ahead and play that in the background if you want.
00:00:27.984 --> 00:00:29.752
So she's giving a speech in minneapolis.
00:00:29.752 --> 00:00:32.722
She makes a comment that christie noam should be
00:00:32.722 --> 00:00:35.458
Should resign or face impeachment.
00:00:35.458 --> 00:00:37.260
This gentleman comes up with a syringe, sprays her with an
00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:40.196
Unknown substance, is tackled by security and subdued.
00:00:40.196 --> 00:00:44.300
Ilhan omar would go on to continue
00:00:44.300 --> 00:00:47.103
And complete her remarks.
00:00:47.103 --> 00:00:49.606
Now everybody on the internet thinks this is fake and staged.
00:00:49.606 --> 00:00:53.143
Here's what i would say.
00:00:53.676 --> 00:00:54.844
And there's, you know, they're digging into his children.
00:00:54.844 --> 00:00:57.413
He has a left wing child.
00:00:57.413 --> 00:00:58.715
His neighbors say he's conservative.
00:00:58.715 --> 00:01:00.150
Everybody said it's fake.
00:01:00.150 --> 00:01:01.050
And i just want to be really clear
00:01:01.050 --> 00:01:03.086
That if this is true, which i have no reason to believe, it's
00:01:04.287 --> 00:01:08.057
Not other than,
00:01:08.057 --> 00:01:09.526
You know, jussie smollett, we've been through this before.
00:01:09.526 --> 00:01:12.128
I understand people's hesitancy to believe it.
00:01:12.128 --> 00:01:14.097
But if it's true, this is not the way.
00:01:14.097 --> 00:01:15.632
It's not okay.
00:01:15.632 --> 00:01:16.900
People should be able to deliver remarks.
00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:18.868
Elected leader
00:01:18.868 --> 00:01:19.802
Leaders should be able to deliver remarks,
00:01:19.802 --> 00:01:22.438
You know, in public
00:01:22.438 --> 00:01:23.473
Without fearing for their lives,
00:01:23.473 --> 00:01:25.508
Without fearing for their safety.
00:01:25.508 --> 00:01:27.177
So i, i just think we need to say that now,
00:01:27.177 --> 00:01:30.613
If it comes out that it is fake, that it is staged,
00:01:30.613 --> 00:01:34.317
Then i will be the first to jump on that bandwagon and
00:01:34.317 --> 00:01:38.354
But it's also very evil because as i mean,
00:01:38.354 --> 00:01:43.026
As charlie once said, like when you do kind of a
00:01:43.026 --> 00:01:45.862
A fake hate crime, as it were,
00:01:45.862 --> 00:01:47.530
That's like the actual real hate crime
00:01:47.530 --> 00:01:49.132
When you're doing something just to stoke
00:01:49.132 --> 00:01:51.801
Animosity and hatred
00:01:51.801 --> 00:01:53.069
Make conservatives
00:01:53.069 --> 00:01:54.237
Look bad, to make white men look bad as a provocation,
00:01:54.237 --> 00:01:57.607
That's an incredibly evil thing,
00:01:57.607 --> 00:01:59.108
And it frankly should be punished far more severely.
00:01:59.108 --> 00:02:01.611
I agree with that. justice marlette should have been.
00:02:01.611 --> 00:02:04.280
The new york post, for example, is not a liberal publication.
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.717
They have investigated this, and they
00:02:07.717 --> 00:02:09.285
At least found a neighbor who said,
00:02:09.285 --> 00:02:11.287
This guy didn't talk a lot, but he did seem to share.
00:02:11.287 --> 00:02:14.090
He seem to be a president trump supporter, shared
00:02:14.090 --> 00:02:16.626
Anti omar stuff, didn't like her and they got it.
00:02:16.626 --> 00:02:19.329
Other stuff.
00:02:19.329 --> 00:02:20.163
He apparently had medical issues.
00:02:20.163 --> 00:02:22.131
So that could have been affecting his mental state.
00:02:22.131 --> 00:02:24.033
Mental state.
00:02:24.033 --> 00:02:24.601
Yeah. so yeah.
00:02:24.601 --> 00:02:26.135
And so let's play the clip right after this happened.
00:02:26.135 --> 00:02:28.538
She's asked if, she's okay.
00:02:28.538 --> 00:02:30.206
369 representative omar, are you okay?
00:02:30.206 --> 00:02:32.976
Just, you know, i'm gonna go figure
00:02:33.776 --> 00:02:36.846
If i am, but i feel okay.
00:02:36.846 --> 00:02:39.015
I feel that
00:02:39.015 --> 00:02:42.085
It is important for people,
00:02:42.085 --> 00:02:44.921
Whether they are in elected office, to make a hole
00:02:44.921 --> 00:02:47.523
To allow these people
00:02:47.523 --> 00:02:48.658
To intimidate us, to make us not fight
00:02:48.658 --> 00:02:50.660
For our constituents and for the country we love.
00:02:50.660 --> 00:02:52.996
And as i said, you know, i've survived war.
00:02:53.863 --> 00:02:57.200
And i'm definitely going to survive intimidation
00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:00.270
And whatever these people think
00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:01.404
They can throw at me because i'm built that way.
00:03:01.404 --> 00:03:04.274
Thank you.
00:03:04.274 --> 00:03:04.941
And i just would say, again,
00:03:04.941 --> 00:03:06.876
I condemn it in the strongest possible terms.
00:03:06.876 --> 00:03:09.012
If this is proven to be authentic, which again,
00:03:09.012 --> 00:03:12.882
I have no reason to believe it's not,
00:03:12.882 --> 00:03:14.550
Other than we've been through this with jussie smollett,
00:03:14.550 --> 00:03:17.320
But my goodness.
00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:19.255
And i have my issues with ilhan omar.
00:03:19.255 --> 00:03:21.224
She is the least sympathetic political figure,
00:03:21.224 --> 00:03:24.727
Probably at least in the top five in the united states.
00:03:24.727 --> 00:03:28.231
And i couldn't help but remember what
00:03:29.065 --> 00:03:32.135
She said about charlie.
00:03:32.135 --> 00:03:34.537
So i'm going to play that clip.
00:03:34.537 --> 00:03:37.106
I just feel like we should. 390.
00:03:37.106 --> 00:03:39.375
What i what i find jarring is that there are so many people
00:03:39.375 --> 00:03:43.279
Willing to excuse the most reprehensible things
00:03:43.279 --> 00:03:47.250
That he said that they agree with that, that they're willing
00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:50.553
To have monuments for him, that they want to create a day
00:03:50.553 --> 00:03:53.856
To honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions
00:03:53.856 --> 00:03:58.094
In the house of congress, honoring
00:03:58.094 --> 00:04:01.164
His life and legacy.
00:04:01.164 --> 00:04:03.900
It is one thing to care about his life,
00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:06.336
Because obviously so many people, loved him,
00:04:06.336 --> 00:04:09.839
Including his children and life.
00:04:09.839 --> 00:04:11.708
But i am not going to sit here and, be, judged for
00:04:11.708 --> 00:04:17.714
Not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind.
00:04:17.714 --> 00:04:21.184
That should be in the dustbin of history.
00:04:21.184 --> 00:04:24.320
And we should hopefully move on and forget the hate
00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:27.890
That he spewed every single day.
00:04:27.890 --> 00:04:30.093
Yeah.
00:04:30.093 --> 00:04:31.027
And so like you know don't attack people.
00:04:31.027 --> 00:04:33.796
Don't rush them on stage in general.
00:04:33.796 --> 00:04:36.966
You make everybody look bad when you do that.
00:04:36.966 --> 00:04:39.936
But my basic feeling on this is
00:04:40.570 --> 00:04:44.407
She's okay.
00:04:44.741 --> 00:04:45.608
I don't know what the substance was.
00:04:45.608 --> 00:04:47.043
They haven't released it.
00:04:47.043 --> 00:04:48.678
So, you know that's a question.
00:04:48.678 --> 00:04:51.247
Why haven't they released it?
00:04:51.247 --> 00:04:52.448
They sent a forensic analyst to, forensic scientist
00:04:52.448 --> 00:04:55.718
To analyze the substance, and we don't know.
00:04:55.718 --> 00:04:57.286
So that's that's where i'm at.
00:04:57.286 --> 00:04:58.755
All right. don't do that.
00:04:58.755 --> 00:05:00.723
Please don't do that.
00:05:00.723 --> 00:05:01.858
But don't fall for any dumb psyops about this stuff.
00:05:01.858 --> 00:05:05.495
Like there are loons in politics.
00:05:05.495 --> 00:05:08.398
They do things that you don't.
00:05:08.398 --> 00:05:10.333
You're not going to overreact
00:05:10.333 --> 00:05:11.567
To a guy who throws something on a politician at an event.
00:05:11.567 --> 00:05:14.003
Fair enough. yeah.
00:05:14.003 --> 00:05:15.238
So in other news,
00:05:15.238 --> 00:05:16.806
I want to pivot here really quick.
00:05:16.806 --> 00:05:18.274
So the daily beast has got a piece up here.
00:05:18.274 --> 00:05:20.843
Stephen miller is being sidelined after
00:05:20.843 --> 00:05:23.279
He was reportedly shut out of a
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:24.747
Closed door white house meeting
00:05:24.747 --> 00:05:26.115
Following the killing of alex peretti.
00:05:26.115 --> 00:05:28.718
I have checked in on this.
00:05:28.718 --> 00:05:31.087
This is completely and utterly untrue.
00:05:31.087 --> 00:05:34.090
Okay, so the speculation is basically
00:05:34.090 --> 00:05:37.460
That christie, noam, stephen miller, greg bovino
00:05:37.460 --> 00:05:41.831
That they are
00:05:41.831 --> 00:05:42.899
All being sidelined because of a messaging blunder
00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:45.968
Following the shooting death of alex peretti,
00:05:45.968 --> 00:05:48.671
Where they said
00:05:48.671 --> 00:05:49.539
That he was going to do maximal damage,
00:05:49.539 --> 00:05:51.607
That he was going to massacre people.
00:05:51.607 --> 00:05:53.643
We don't know that it's untrue,
00:05:53.643 --> 00:05:55.378
But i do believe that the messaging was a was a
00:05:55.378 --> 00:05:58.681
Was unhelpful in the immediate aftermath,
00:05:58.681 --> 00:06:01.317
A more cautious approach,
00:06:01.317 --> 00:06:02.885
A more, hey,
00:06:02.885 --> 00:06:04.053
We're going to investigate the shooting and the details
00:06:04.053 --> 00:06:06.556
Would have probably been more appropriate in that moment.
00:06:06.556 --> 00:06:09.192
You would agree with that?
00:06:09.192 --> 00:06:10.259
I it's just their impulse.
00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:12.929
It shows how we've improved on
00:06:12.929 --> 00:06:14.931
A lot of our messaging, because there was so often
00:06:14.931 --> 00:06:18.468
This bizarre, automatic conservative impulse
00:06:18.468 --> 00:06:21.337
To disavow and freak out and have a panic attack.
00:06:21.337 --> 00:06:24.974
And now much more often,
00:06:24.974 --> 00:06:26.409
The first impulse is defend and concede nothing.
00:06:26.409 --> 00:06:29.111
That's often a lesson people would take
00:06:29.111 --> 00:06:30.580
From president
00:06:30.580 --> 00:06:31.380
Trump success, because he's very much
00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:32.715
A kind of never, never really apologized guy.
00:06:32.715 --> 00:06:34.851
Never, never give an inch.
00:06:34.851 --> 00:06:36.552
But on this one, it does seem to
00:06:36.552 --> 00:06:39.055
Have not been the right approach.
00:06:39.055 --> 00:06:40.756
But okay. yeah, exactly.
00:06:40.756 --> 00:06:43.526
That's my take.
00:06:43.526 --> 00:06:45.027
We've i say it again.
00:06:45.027 --> 00:06:46.496
I'll say it again.
00:06:46.496 --> 00:06:47.697
We've building up antibodies to some of these mistakes that
00:06:47.697 --> 00:06:49.899
Have been made in the past. now. all right.
00:06:49.899 --> 00:06:51.934
When you don't have
00:06:51.934 --> 00:06:52.635
All the facts,
00:06:52.635 --> 00:06:53.803
Just take up a little bit more of a of a neutral tone.
00:06:53.803 --> 00:06:56.439
That's the correction okay.
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.407
Like let's be honest here.
00:06:58.407 --> 00:07:00.510
So they did wrong messaging on a controversial story
00:07:00.510 --> 00:07:03.913
Over the weekend.
00:07:03.913 --> 00:07:04.847
We have people in washington who screwed up
00:07:04.847 --> 00:07:06.148
And invaded iraq,
00:07:06.148 --> 00:07:07.717
Who overthrew a government in libya,
00:07:07.717 --> 00:07:09.151
Who've done regime change, wars that have killed
00:07:09.151 --> 00:07:11.354
Tens of thousands of people
00:07:11.354 --> 00:07:13.155
And have been a complete mistake
00:07:13.155 --> 00:07:14.357
And have faced zero consequences for it.
00:07:14.357 --> 00:07:16.993
The way that you think that the people who are at
00:07:16.993 --> 00:07:19.395
The fbi have never screwed anything up
00:07:19.395 --> 00:07:21.063
And then just continue to rise up.
00:07:21.063 --> 00:07:22.265
People at the cia have never screwed up
00:07:22.265 --> 00:07:23.966
And just had their careers completely untouched.
00:07:23.966 --> 00:07:26.135
Washington is full of people who face zero accountability
00:07:26.135 --> 00:07:29.272
For the biggest screw ups ever, and the selective outrage
00:07:29.272 --> 00:07:32.909
Is deafening.
00:07:32.909 --> 00:07:33.943
We'll get into that next. we'll be right back.
00:07:33.943 --> 00:07:39.248
The wounds from
00:07:39.615 --> 00:07:40.616
October 7th didn't fade when the headlines did.
00:07:40.616 --> 00:07:43.753
Behind me rises
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:45.321
A new rehabilitation home for israel's wounded soldiers.
00:07:45.321 --> 00:07:48.991
One of many urgent projects israel needs right now.
00:07:48.991 --> 00:07:52.728
Entire communities shattered.
00:07:53.362 --> 00:07:55.464
Families displaced.
00:07:55.464 --> 00:07:57.199
And each day,
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:58.301
The impact of the need grows even more overwhelming.
00:07:58.301 --> 00:08:02.271
But the bible says it clearly.
00:08:02.271 --> 00:08:04.540
The righteous will live by faith and by faith.
00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:08.711
The fellowship is rolling up our sleeves
00:08:08.711 --> 00:08:10.479
And stepping into this immense challenge.
00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:13.015
Helping mothers who don't know where to begin again.
00:08:13.015 --> 00:08:15.585
Standing with paralyzed heroes.
00:08:15.585 --> 00:08:17.420
Fighting to take their first steps.
00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:19.622
Building centers of healing for the wounded
00:08:19.622 --> 00:08:22.058
And the traumatized.
00:08:22.058 --> 00:08:23.626
Bringing food and comfort to elderly israelis
00:08:23.626 --> 00:08:26.629
Who have no one else to care for them.
00:08:26.629 --> 00:08:29.832
To see the life saving work of the fellowship.
00:08:29.832 --> 00:08:32.868
Unfolding across israel right now.
00:08:32.868 --> 00:08:35.838
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:35.838 --> 00:08:39.005
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:39.005 --> 00:08:44.514
We have to hit this story
00:08:45.082 --> 00:08:46.183
Because we mentioned stephen miller before.
00:08:46.183 --> 00:08:49.019
And these these unhinged clips.
00:08:49.019 --> 00:08:51.588
So rick wilson is a complete
00:08:51.588 --> 00:08:54.825
Lunatic lincoln project, all of this stuff,
00:08:54.825 --> 00:08:58.395
Former republican, whatever.
00:08:58.395 --> 00:09:01.632
He's calling for the execution of stephen miller,
00:09:01.632 --> 00:09:03.567
They're trying to get stephen miller killed.
00:09:03.567 --> 00:09:06.837
That's what they're trying to do.
00:09:06.837 --> 00:09:07.838
And now, by the way, they're going to justify
00:09:07.838 --> 00:09:09.439
It emotionally because of rene. good.
00:09:09.439 --> 00:09:11.308
And because of in minneapolis,
00:09:11.308 --> 00:09:14.077
Even though these people
00:09:14.077 --> 00:09:15.278
Should have never been anywhere near these law enforcement
00:09:15.278 --> 00:09:18.515
Operations, that doesn't matter to them.
00:09:18.515 --> 00:09:21.351
And that's, by the way,
00:09:21.351 --> 00:09:22.753
That's why we it's hard to get outraged when they die.
00:09:22.753 --> 00:09:25.522
I think it's a tragedy.
00:09:25.522 --> 00:09:26.323
I don't want anybody to die.
00:09:26.323 --> 00:09:27.357
But you should not be obstructing
00:09:27.357 --> 00:09:28.859
And harassing law enforcement officials.
00:09:28.859 --> 00:09:30.861
So when bad things happen, listen,
00:09:30.861 --> 00:09:34.197
What are we to do?
00:09:34.631 --> 00:09:37.434
365 i almost tweeted this today.
00:09:37.434 --> 00:09:39.603
I know i get canceled for saying this.
00:09:39.603 --> 00:09:40.937
I know i'm going to get in trouble.
00:09:40.937 --> 00:09:42.906
I want stephen miller to be the number one
00:09:42.906 --> 00:09:45.075
In the nuremberg trials.
00:09:45.075 --> 00:09:46.109
When this is done.
00:09:46.109 --> 00:09:48.011
When this is done, i want stephen moore to be
00:09:48.011 --> 00:09:49.746
The first one who is tried and convicted and dangles.
00:09:49.746 --> 00:09:53.684
He wants stephen miller to dangle.
00:09:53.684 --> 00:09:54.985
He wants him to be hung.
00:09:54.985 --> 00:09:56.720
But it doesn't stop there.
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:57.854
That's not the only unhinged lunatic that's going on
00:09:57.854 --> 00:10:01.625
Social media.
00:10:01.625 --> 00:10:02.526
Oh, and by the way, they're bragging.
00:10:02.526 --> 00:10:03.193
I don't mean to get canceled.
00:10:03.193 --> 00:10:04.194
No, you know, nothing's going to happen
00:10:04.194 --> 00:10:05.696
Because they didn't even get canceled
00:10:05.696 --> 00:10:07.097
For the lincoln project, which was basically
00:10:07.097 --> 00:10:09.332
Like a giant criminal grift.
00:10:09.332 --> 00:10:11.034
And by the way, there's a bunch of them
00:10:11.034 --> 00:10:12.436
That had, oh, and weird sexual deviant.
00:10:12.436 --> 00:10:15.205
Oh, yeah.
00:10:15.205 --> 00:10:15.906
Also, every weirdo in the never
00:10:15.906 --> 00:10:17.574
Trump movement joined the lincoln project.
00:10:17.574 --> 00:10:19.209
Journalist kara swisher
00:10:19.209 --> 00:10:21.411
Call her a journalist,
00:10:21.411 --> 00:10:22.446
And i'm not going to call her a journalist.
00:10:22.446 --> 00:10:23.880
That's how it's labeled on the clip.
00:10:23.880 --> 00:10:24.981
Sheep. she's not a journalist. she's an activist.
00:10:24.981 --> 00:10:28.218
She says the same thing.
00:10:28.752 --> 00:10:29.986
366 and i would last like to call out
00:10:29.986 --> 00:10:33.490
Stephen miller, who is in the center of this.
00:10:33.490 --> 00:10:35.926
We always focus on trump,
00:10:35.926 --> 00:10:37.661
As we often focus on the top people.
00:10:37.661 --> 00:10:39.930
But stephen miller, like a man named ben denson,
00:10:39.930 --> 00:10:43.366
He was the one who created
00:10:43.366 --> 00:10:44.501
The internment camps for japanese heinrich himmler
00:10:44.501 --> 00:10:47.404
And the in the in the nazi regime.
00:10:47.404 --> 00:10:49.940
This is what he is.
00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:51.007
And he he he of course, trump
00:10:51.007 --> 00:10:54.411
Gets the most of the blame being the top at the top.
00:10:54.411 --> 00:10:57.347
But people like stephen miller, will go down in history
00:10:57.347 --> 00:11:00.650
As evil.
00:11:00.650 --> 00:11:01.752
He has blood on his hands,
00:11:01.752 --> 00:11:04.654
And should be jailed do you see what they're doing?
00:11:04.654 --> 00:11:07.491
So set it all up very bad.
00:11:08.058 --> 00:11:10.594
They want to prosecute stephen miller
00:11:10.594 --> 00:11:12.796
After president trump is out of office.
00:11:12.796 --> 00:11:14.965
They do.
00:11:14.965 --> 00:11:16.166
This is one of the reasons why it's so critically important
00:11:16.166 --> 00:11:18.568
That we win the midterms,
00:11:18.568 --> 00:11:19.636
Because they're going to
00:11:19.636 --> 00:11:20.670
Bog down everything with these investigations.
00:11:20.670 --> 00:11:23.173
And by the way, there was an update yesterday
00:11:23.173 --> 00:11:26.309
Out of virginia that apparently
00:11:26.309 --> 00:11:29.212
The old maps are going to hold for 2026.
00:11:29.212 --> 00:11:32.149
That's good.
00:11:32.149 --> 00:11:32.783
It's a first court ruling.
00:11:32.783 --> 00:11:33.750
I think it goes up to the supreme court now.
00:11:33.750 --> 00:11:35.051
But they are basically it was the process through
00:11:35.051 --> 00:11:38.088
Which they went was not timed right, was not a according to
00:11:38.088 --> 00:11:41.391
From what i've seen, it really is legally indefensible
00:11:41.391 --> 00:11:44.294
To rule any other way because there's like
00:11:44.294 --> 00:11:46.596
For what they were doing there,
00:11:46.596 --> 00:11:47.764
You need three months of notice and they had four days
00:11:47.764 --> 00:11:50.700
Of notice.
00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:51.334
And that's just but who knows.
00:11:51.334 --> 00:11:53.069
It's a little state you can live in. constitution.
00:11:53.069 --> 00:11:55.205
Never.
00:11:55.205 --> 00:11:56.106
Nevertheless, we they are going to try
00:11:56.106 --> 00:11:58.041
And in prison they might try to prison us.
00:11:58.041 --> 00:12:00.644
They might come after turning point again, they spied on us.
00:12:00.644 --> 00:12:03.079
I know a lot of time to get some reading done.
00:12:03.079 --> 00:12:04.714
Charlie was, obviously dragged before the j6 committee.
00:12:04.714 --> 00:12:09.753
The amount of legal bills alone is insane.
00:12:09.753 --> 00:12:13.456
Governor gavin newsom got in on the act.
00:12:13.456 --> 00:12:15.292
Stephen miller is directly responsible,
00:12:15.292 --> 00:12:17.460
He said in a tweet for the deaths, violence
00:12:17.460 --> 00:12:19.596
And chaos from trump
00:12:19.596 --> 00:12:20.764
Administration's lawless violent rampage across america.
00:12:20.764 --> 00:12:23.767
He must be fired and held accountable with this
00:12:23.767 --> 00:12:26.870
Code red, we've got the immature code red
00:12:26.870 --> 00:12:28.939
In the united states of america
00:12:28.939 --> 00:12:30.407
With stephen miller's face in this this blood red.
00:12:30.407 --> 00:12:34.110
But, you know, it's easy to hit the the big names,
00:12:34.110 --> 00:12:37.814
But the scariest one for me that we've seen, i think 3
00:12:37.814 --> 00:12:41.051
Or 4 cases of this by now is the rank and file people
00:12:41.051 --> 00:12:46.189
Who clearly fantasize or maybe not maybe actually do actual
00:12:46.189 --> 00:12:52.162
They want to do harm to other people, possibly in secret.
00:12:53.330 --> 00:12:55.932
So we've have this, staffer at, virginia
00:12:55.932 --> 00:12:58.902
Commonwealth university,
00:12:58.902 --> 00:13:00.036
Which, you had the clip there, and then you deleted it.
00:13:00.036 --> 00:13:02.105
367 all right, let's play that sabotage tactic.
00:13:02.105 --> 00:13:05.308
Or at least scare tactic.
00:13:05.308 --> 00:13:07.344
All the medical providers
00:13:07.344 --> 00:13:08.912
Grab some syringes with needles on the end,
00:13:08.912 --> 00:13:12.148
Have them full of sally
00:13:12.649 --> 00:13:15.118
Or socks, and i'm, you know, whatever.
00:13:15.118 --> 00:13:16.820
Whatever.
00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:19.289
That will probably be a deterrent.
00:13:19.289 --> 00:13:22.425
So she encourages women to go on dates
00:13:22.425 --> 00:13:25.662
With agents and drug their food.
00:13:25.662 --> 00:13:27.197
368 the single ladies where these ice guys are going
00:13:27.197 --> 00:13:30.800
Have a chance to do something.
00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:33.970
You know, not without risk, but
00:13:34.604 --> 00:13:37.607
Could help the cause for sure.
00:13:37.607 --> 00:13:40.277
Get on tinder again.
00:13:40.277 --> 00:13:41.044
Again and find these guys.
00:13:41.044 --> 00:13:42.879
They're around there.
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:44.748
An ice agent.
00:13:44.748 --> 00:13:45.682
Bring some ex-lax, put it in their drinks.
00:13:45.682 --> 00:13:49.953
Get them sick.
00:13:50.287 --> 00:13:51.955
Easily deniable.
00:13:51.955 --> 00:13:54.858
You know, you could get sick to.
00:13:54.858 --> 00:13:58.028
I'm just saying.
00:13:58.428 --> 00:13:59.429
So this is a clearly unhinged, unwell, mentally
00:13:59.429 --> 00:14:03.600
Ill person who is a was a nurse.
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.670
But this story has a happy ending.
00:14:06.670 --> 00:14:08.571
I am exceedingly joyful to say they're up.
00:14:08.571 --> 00:14:12.075
373 vcu and antaeus nurse fired after referencing paralytic
00:14:12.075 --> 00:14:17.047
Drug and video instructing sabotage of ice agents,
00:14:17.047 --> 00:14:20.483
And the university put out a statement.
00:14:21.318 --> 00:14:23.386
We prioritize the health and safety
00:14:23.386 --> 00:14:24.921
Of anyone who comes to us for care.
00:14:24.921 --> 00:14:26.556
We are aware of a series of videos
00:14:26.556 --> 00:14:27.958
That appear to have been posted by an individual,
00:14:27.958 --> 00:14:30.060
Confirmed to be an employee of our health system.
00:14:30.060 --> 00:14:32.629
The content of the videos
00:14:32.629 --> 00:14:33.630
Is highly inappropriate and does not reflect
00:14:33.630 --> 00:14:35.165
The integrity and values of our health system.
00:14:35.165 --> 00:14:37.334
And so she's been fired.
00:14:37.334 --> 00:14:39.202
We'll be right back.
00:14:39.202 --> 00:14:45.108
Where are
00:14:45.408 --> 00:14:46.676
The tears from the pain.
00:14:46.676 --> 00:14:49.012
The life that she lived.
00:14:49.012 --> 00:14:51.147
She's a survivor of auschwitz.
00:14:51.147 --> 00:14:54.584
The years that they would just beat her ears.
00:14:54.584 --> 00:14:57.354
That she didn't have food and felt hungry.
00:14:57.354 --> 00:15:00.657
And our answer is love.
00:15:01.157 --> 00:15:04.394
Before, with a gift of only $25.
00:15:04.394 --> 00:15:07.597
You'll deliver a life saving food box into the hands
00:15:07.597 --> 00:15:10.767
Of an elderly jew in need.
00:15:10.767 --> 00:15:13.503
I wasn't only saying people have a heart.
00:15:13.503 --> 00:15:16.506
There are good people today.
00:15:16.506 --> 00:15:18.308

00:15:18.308 --> 00:15:21.077

00:15:21.077 --> 00:15:22.212
Fellowship of christians
00:15:22.212 --> 00:15:23.480
And jews will rush your food box today saudi arabia.
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:27.350
This is a holy moment.
00:15:27.350 --> 00:15:29.119
What you're doing is not simply being kind.
00:15:29.119 --> 00:15:32.522
You are prophetically stepping into the scriptures
00:15:32.522 --> 00:15:36.359
And being part of their redemption and our own.
00:15:36.359 --> 00:15:39.863
Please call, scan or go online now.
00:15:39.863 --> 00:15:43.008
Please call, scan or go online now.
00:15:43.008 --> 00:15:49.173
I am very excited about our next
00:15:49.874 --> 00:15:52.109
Guest, who's been a longtime friend of mine personally.
00:15:52.109 --> 00:15:55.012
And of course, to charlie.
00:15:55.012 --> 00:15:56.747
And that is eric metaxas,
00:15:56.747 --> 00:15:58.249
Great american great great patriot,
00:15:58.249 --> 00:16:00.151
So i wanted to start this, eric,
00:16:00.151 --> 00:16:02.186
Because you are a man of god and one of the core ethos,
00:16:02.186 --> 00:16:06.824
Central themes of this show.
00:16:06.824 --> 00:16:09.460
And it will forever be this way,
00:16:09.460 --> 00:16:11.462
Because this is a show
00:16:11.462 --> 00:16:12.797
That is dedicated to the legacy of charlie kirk,
00:16:12.797 --> 00:16:14.999
And continuing the mission of charlie kirk is to honor
00:16:14.999 --> 00:16:18.803
Faith, is to lift up jesus christ,
00:16:19.570 --> 00:16:22.673
And to do it boldly, proudly, loudly, and without apology.
00:16:22.673 --> 00:16:26.143
Yeah.
00:16:26.143 --> 00:16:27.111
And so i want to play a clip. it's longer.
00:16:27.111 --> 00:16:28.612
So this is the charlie kirk show.
00:16:28.612 --> 00:16:30.281
He deserves the time, of charlie,
00:16:30.281 --> 00:16:33.384
Explaining why america's christian roots
00:16:33.384 --> 00:16:36.687
Must be are christian and why we need to keep it that way.
00:16:36.687 --> 00:16:41.092
And then i just we'll
00:16:41.092 --> 00:16:42.326
We'll let the conversation go wherever it is.
00:16:42.326 --> 00:16:43.961
So please enjoy this longer.
00:16:43.961 --> 00:16:45.863
Clip 345.
00:16:45.863 --> 00:16:47.131
Remember that
00:16:47.131 --> 00:16:48.099
We were a collection of states and colonies,
00:16:48.099 --> 00:16:49.967
And you need to read the state
00:16:49.967 --> 00:16:51.135
Constitutions before anything else.
00:16:51.135 --> 00:16:52.536
13 of 13 required
00:16:52.536 --> 00:16:53.838
A declaration of faith, 913 required to be a protestant,
00:16:53.838 --> 00:16:56.874
Except maryland, which was catholic,
00:16:56.874 --> 00:16:58.309
Which still required a declaration of faith.
00:16:58.309 --> 00:17:00.411
Every single one of the original state
00:17:00.411 --> 00:17:01.979
Constitutions, pennsylvania included.
00:17:01.979 --> 00:17:03.981
They had i, lord and jesus christ as my lord and savior
00:17:03.981 --> 00:17:07.551
In the original state constitutions.
00:17:07.551 --> 00:17:09.120
The last paragraph, the declaration reads as a prayer.
00:17:09.120 --> 00:17:12.022
It says,
00:17:12.022 --> 00:17:13.023
We appeal to the supreme judge of the universe,
00:17:13.023 --> 00:17:15.426
Who is the judge of the universe. jesus christ is.
00:17:15.426 --> 00:17:17.328
It says in revelation that jesus will judge
00:17:17.328 --> 00:17:20.164
The earth on his throne.
00:17:20.164 --> 00:17:21.732
Deuteronomy was by far
00:17:21.732 --> 00:17:22.833
The most quoted book, religious or non-religious,
00:17:22.833 --> 00:17:25.903
In the time of the founding, when they were putting together
00:17:25.903 --> 00:17:27.938
Constitution more than john locke,
00:17:27.938 --> 00:17:29.707
More than montesquieu, more than blackstone.
00:17:29.707 --> 00:17:31.942
So the book of deuteronomy,
00:17:31.942 --> 00:17:33.544
Which talked about laws, customs, traditions,
00:17:33.544 --> 00:17:35.846
It was moses's farewell address
00:17:35.846 --> 00:17:37.381
As he's about to say goodbye,
00:17:37.381 --> 00:17:39.150
Say, hey, good luck in canaan, guys.
00:17:39.150 --> 00:17:40.851
Here's how you should set up your form of government.
00:17:40.851 --> 00:17:42.953
But finally, and most importantly,
00:17:42.953 --> 00:17:45.122
Let's look at actually what the founders said.
00:17:45.122 --> 00:17:47.558
John adams famously said the constitution
00:17:47.558 --> 00:17:49.560
Was only written for a moral religious people.
00:17:49.560 --> 00:17:51.662
It was wholly inadequate for the people of any other.
00:17:51.662 --> 00:17:53.864
The body politic of america was so christian
00:17:53.864 --> 00:17:56.400
And was so protestant,
00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:57.601
That our form and structure of government was built
00:17:57.601 --> 00:17:59.937
For the people that believed in christ our lord.
00:17:59.937 --> 00:18:02.306
One of the reasons we're living through
00:18:02.306 --> 00:18:03.674
A constitutional crisis
00:18:03.674 --> 00:18:05.009
Is that we no longer have a christian nation,
00:18:05.009 --> 00:18:07.211
But we have a christian form of
00:18:07.211 --> 00:18:08.445
Government, and they're incompatible.
00:18:08.445 --> 00:18:10.014
So you cannot have liberty
00:18:10.014 --> 00:18:11.348
If you do not have a christian population.
00:18:11.348 --> 00:18:14.118
Your reaction?
00:18:14.451 --> 00:18:16.854
Listen, i can laugh.
00:18:16.854 --> 00:18:18.522
I can fall down laughing with joy
00:18:18.522 --> 00:18:21.292
Because the fact that charlie only charlie
00:18:21.292 --> 00:18:24.328
Could rattle things off like. but.
00:18:24.328 --> 00:18:26.130
Boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo boo
00:18:26.130 --> 00:18:28.732
Enough like it's unbelievable.
00:18:28.732 --> 00:18:31.001
It's so beautiful and it's so true.
00:18:31.001 --> 00:18:34.505
I tell you, andrew, you and i haven't talked much
00:18:34.505 --> 00:18:37.107
Because i've been deep in the bowels
00:18:37.107 --> 00:18:38.442
Of working on a book on the american revolution.
00:18:38.442 --> 00:18:41.779
I have never in my life understood
00:18:41.779 --> 00:18:44.782
What charlie just was talking about in the way that i do now.
00:18:44.782 --> 00:18:48.786
The book will come out in june.
00:18:48.786 --> 00:18:51.121
It is outrageously inescapable.
00:18:51.121 --> 00:18:55.693
Inescapable, there is no doubt there is no america.
00:18:55.693 --> 00:18:59.430
There is no america, period.
00:18:59.430 --> 00:19:02.233
Without christian faith, all of the founders,
00:19:02.233 --> 00:19:05.302
And i'm really focused on the founders before the founders.
00:19:05.302 --> 00:19:07.705
Right.
00:19:07.705 --> 00:19:08.872
I'm talking about samuel adams, john adams in the 1760s.
00:19:08.872 --> 00:19:12.977
This is what i talk about in my book
00:19:12.977 --> 00:19:14.378
Before i get to the actual war or the revolution.
00:19:14.378 --> 00:19:16.447
But they were radical
00:19:16.447 --> 00:19:19.550
Reformation puritans.
00:19:20.050 --> 00:19:23.587
These were people who were just they saw the whole world
00:19:23.587 --> 00:19:27.258
Through a biblical lens, and they knew that god's model
00:19:27.258 --> 00:19:31.562
Is for us
00:19:31.562 --> 00:19:33.130
To do what
00:19:33.130 --> 00:19:34.198
The ancient israelites did in sinai
00:19:34.198 --> 00:19:36.267
Have a direct covenant with god.
00:19:36.267 --> 00:19:38.135
No king but jesus, no king but the lord.
00:19:38.135 --> 00:19:42.139
They all understood this.
00:19:42.139 --> 00:19:46.010
As i've been writing this book, i have been so astonished.
00:19:43.374 --> 00:19:49.113
I cannot tell you the name of the book is revolution.
00:19:49.113 --> 00:19:51.582
And as i say, you can't even preorder it yet.
00:19:51.582 --> 00:19:53.984
But the reason it's called
00:19:53.984 --> 00:19:55.653
Revolution is because every other revolution
00:19:55.653 --> 00:19:58.422
Is not a revolution.
00:19:58.422 --> 00:19:59.490
It's a fake revolution.
00:19:59.490 --> 00:20:01.558
Faking the french revolution
00:20:01.558 --> 00:20:04.561
Is a demonic parody of a revolution.
00:20:04.561 --> 00:20:08.065
It's like it becomes a bloodbath
00:20:08.065 --> 00:20:10.067
Because they take god out the bolshevik revolution.
00:20:10.067 --> 00:20:13.437
All these things we call revolut.
00:20:13.437 --> 00:20:14.371
They're not actual revolutions.
00:20:14.371 --> 00:20:15.539
The one true revolution
00:20:15.539 --> 00:20:17.808
In the history of the world in terms of government
00:20:17.808 --> 00:20:20.144
Is america.
00:20:20.144 --> 00:20:21.245
And it's so beautiful and so i think i have to say
00:20:21.245 --> 00:20:25.482
That what's become clear to me is like a lot of people
00:20:25.482 --> 00:20:28.319
Say, well, i'm conservative or i love america or whatever.
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:30.354
It's like, if you really understand that,
00:20:30.354 --> 00:20:32.823
You understand apart from god, that makes no sense.
00:20:32.823 --> 00:20:36.427
You should be, a liberal.
00:20:36.427 --> 00:20:39.263
You should be aware, in other words,
00:20:39.263 --> 00:20:41.031
To love america, to understand what america is.
00:20:41.031 --> 00:20:44.535
It points you back.
00:20:44.535 --> 00:20:46.203
Every single one of the folks who gave us this country
00:20:46.203 --> 00:20:49.106
Understood it is about jesus.
00:20:49.106 --> 00:20:51.942
It's about bringing biblical.
00:20:51.942 --> 00:20:54.411
You know, they basically said, well,
00:20:54.411 --> 00:20:56.180
If we wanted to form a government
00:20:56.180 --> 00:20:58.315
On biblical principles, what would that look like?
00:20:58.315 --> 00:21:00.217
It would look like america. that's what it is.
00:21:00.217 --> 00:21:02.853
And that's what.
00:21:02.853 --> 00:21:03.721
And many of them said it explicitly.
00:21:03.721 --> 00:21:05.189
Samuel adams i think it said it explicitly.
00:21:05.189 --> 00:21:08.192
They looked at, you know, the authoritarian monarchies
00:21:08.192 --> 00:21:12.830
In the same way that they looked
00:21:12.830 --> 00:21:14.164
At the roman catholic church at the time.
00:21:14.164 --> 00:21:16.200
It's like very top down.
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:17.835
It's going to tell you what to do, you know,
00:21:17.835 --> 00:21:20.471
And the reformation changed everything.
00:21:20.471 --> 00:21:23.674
So suddenly
00:21:23.674 --> 00:21:24.508
Every single person has the ability,
00:21:24.508 --> 00:21:26.076
Have a direct relationship with god.
00:21:26.076 --> 00:21:28.612
And they said, you know, that's the way it should be.
00:21:28.612 --> 00:21:31.448
Could we form a government that looks like that?
00:21:31.448 --> 00:21:35.018
Would it be possible?
00:21:35.018 --> 00:21:36.320
And as you just said, quoting john adams,
00:21:36.320 --> 00:21:37.888
It's like it is not possible unless the people get that.
00:21:37.888 --> 00:21:40.991
It is not.
00:21:40.991 --> 00:21:41.859
If the people aren't tuned into this,
00:21:41.859 --> 00:21:43.794
You're it's not going to work.
00:21:43.794 --> 00:21:45.829
Which is why i hope in this 250th year of celebration,
00:21:45.829 --> 00:21:49.466
Which we have called the super centennial,
00:21:49.466 --> 00:21:51.902
In case anybody didn't get the memo,
00:21:51.902 --> 00:21:53.570
This is the super centennial.
00:21:53.570 --> 00:21:55.339
President trump agrees with that term
00:21:55.339 --> 00:21:57.341
That in this super centennial year, we need to go back.
00:21:57.341 --> 00:22:00.911
We need to understand that without that,
00:22:00.911 --> 00:22:03.180
America goes away.
00:22:03.180 --> 00:22:05.182
So, you know, nobody got this better than our friend charlie.
00:22:05.182 --> 00:22:08.886
And just listening to that clip, i just get it.
00:22:08.886 --> 00:22:10.754
I get joy from that that he said all that.
00:22:10.754 --> 00:22:13.357
Eric metaxas, you are a national treasure.
00:22:13.357 --> 00:22:15.559
I've missed you, my friend.
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:17.227
Let's have you on again soon.
00:22:17.227 --> 00:22:18.862
There's so much to talk about in the country.
00:22:18.862 --> 00:22:21.031
Yeah. jesus. and we need comedy.
00:22:21.031 --> 00:22:23.600
And you deliver both in spades.
00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:25.602
And, praise the lord. shit you for that, my friend.
00:22:25.602 --> 00:22:27.971
We'll talk to you again soon.
00:22:27.971 --> 00:22:30.707
We'll see you tomorrow.
00:22:31.208 --> 00:22:34.144
As this year draws to an end,
00:22:34.778 --> 00:22:36.246
I'd like to express my
00:22:36.246 --> 00:22:37.614
Heartfelt gratitude to our partners, the fellowship
00:22:37.614 --> 00:22:40.617
Of christians and jews.
00:22:40.617 --> 00:22:42.152
And i'd like to say thank you to our audience
00:22:42.152 --> 00:22:44.588
Who have supported them in prayer, with finances
00:22:44.588 --> 00:22:46.824
And standing strong for the people of israel.
00:22:46.824 --> 00:22:48.926
The fellowship is one of america's
00:22:48.926 --> 00:22:50.394
Most beloved
00:22:50.394 --> 00:22:51.528

00:22:53.964 --> 00:22:55.532
And comfort to the people of israel
00:22:55.532 --> 00:22:57.167
In the ukraine and across the former soviet union.

This holiday season and every day of the year,
00:23:00.137 --> 00:23:02.272
The fellowship is called to serve
00:23:02.272 --> 00:23:03.807
The elderly jewish people,

Many of whom are holocaust survivors who are now
00:23:05.075 --> 00:23:08.011
Living in the shadow of past wars, poverty and loneliness.
