Charlie Kirk Today | Gary Melton: December 16, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | December 16, 2025

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 --> 00:00:14.571
A lot of stuff went down this weekend.
00:00:15.338 --> 00:00:17.807
But we got a lot of news to go over in the meantime.
00:00:17.807 --> 00:00:20.477
And, you know, obviously, we had the bondi
00:00:20.477 --> 00:00:22.779
Beach, terrorism, which is just horrendous.
00:00:22.779 --> 00:00:26.416
We're going to get into that just in a second.
00:00:26.416 --> 00:00:28.184
We had rob reiner was apparently stabbed
00:00:28.184 --> 00:00:30.520
To death along with his wife, michelle,
00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:32.455
Who, it appears that his their son
00:00:32.455 --> 00:00:35.191
Nick, who's had mental problems and drug abuse problems,
00:00:35.191 --> 00:00:38.294
Homelessness problems, he's he's now in custody.
00:00:38.294 --> 00:00:42.132
And, of course, you know,
00:00:42.132 --> 00:00:45.101
We have this brown shooting where it's we're hearing
00:00:45.101 --> 00:00:48.338
Reports that a republican campus republican.
00:00:48.338 --> 00:00:51.875
Well, she's dead. we know that.
00:00:51.875 --> 00:00:54.244
And it's a really terrible story.
00:00:54.244 --> 00:00:55.912
But there is also reports that she may have been targeted.
00:00:55.912 --> 00:00:58.915
So let's get into all of these stories
00:00:58.915 --> 00:01:01.317
Because we got to we got to go quick here.
00:01:01.317 --> 00:01:04.053
Let's hit rob reiner, because i think you and i
00:01:04.053 --> 00:01:06.089
Both have some, some opinions, feelings about that. yeah.
00:01:06.089 --> 00:01:08.658
That broke last night.
00:01:08.658 --> 00:01:10.426
Out of nowhere. very horrifying.
00:01:10.426 --> 00:01:12.662
Just, you know, it began with that.
00:01:12.662 --> 00:01:13.897
Police were at
00:01:13.897 --> 00:01:15.899
Reiner's home in the los angeles area,
00:01:16.733 --> 00:01:19.169
And they found two bodies there that matched their ages.
00:01:19.169 --> 00:01:23.106
And then they were they were stabbed to death,
00:01:23.106 --> 00:01:24.807
And it just
00:01:24.807 --> 00:01:25.909
Sort of dribbled out over the course of the evening.
00:01:25.909 --> 00:01:28.144
And it now appears the suspicion is that
00:01:28.144 --> 00:01:31.748
Both rob and his wife,
00:01:32.215 --> 00:01:33.216
Michelle, were stabbed to death by their son,
00:01:33.216 --> 00:01:36.019
Who i believe had a history of, there's some addictions
00:01:36.019 --> 00:01:39.689
And issues.
00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:40.557
And so the i imagine we'll learn more
00:01:40.557 --> 00:01:43.393
About how exactly that happened.
00:01:43.393 --> 00:01:45.028
It's a pretty gruesome way to get there.
00:01:45.028 --> 00:01:46.596
Very unthinkably terrible.
00:01:46.596 --> 00:01:49.699
No one should suffer that way.
00:01:49.699 --> 00:01:52.268
And it caused us to look back, and we saw things and
00:01:52.268 --> 00:01:56.873
I mean, among other things.
00:01:57.473 --> 00:01:58.575
Rob was on he went on the air shortly
00:01:58.575 --> 00:02:01.010
After charlie was shot, and he actually said
00:02:01.010 --> 00:02:03.146
Quite kind things.
00:02:03.146 --> 00:02:04.514
Yeah, about him.
00:02:04.514 --> 00:02:05.682
And he said about certain things about erica, too. yes.
00:02:05.682 --> 00:02:08.184
Do we have that ready to go?
00:02:08.184 --> 00:02:10.286
If not, we'll get it.
00:02:10.286 --> 00:02:11.154
But the the point is, the
00:02:11.154 --> 00:02:14.958
We need to look at that as a good example,
00:02:14.958 --> 00:02:17.460
Right, of how to respond in these situations.
00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:20.830
And unfortunately, you know, with charlie's death, gruesome.
00:02:20.830 --> 00:02:26.069
Same.
00:02:26.302 --> 00:02:27.270
And, you know, i instantly saw the parallels
00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:29.505
And i felt terrible for this family.
00:02:29.505 --> 00:02:33.042
I felt terrible for rob reiner, his wife, michelle.
00:02:33.042 --> 00:02:36.713
And, you know, honestly,
00:02:36.713 --> 00:02:39.082
I just my heart filled with compassion.
00:02:39.082 --> 00:02:40.717
So instantly i went and i, i said as much on social media.
00:02:40.717 --> 00:02:45.722
I think that tweet, has 2.1 million, engagements now.
00:02:45.722 --> 00:02:51.027
A lot of people retweeted it and, yeah, my heart goes
00:02:51.027 --> 00:02:54.030
Out to their family.
00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:54.697
I have no idea
00:02:54.697 --> 00:02:55.865
The details of what was going on with, their son nick.
00:02:55.865 --> 00:02:58.801
Senseless tragedy, terrible to see.
00:02:58.801 --> 00:03:01.471
And by the way, rob reiner's, movie career.
00:03:01.471 --> 00:03:04.907
It should be.
00:03:04.907 --> 00:03:05.608
The guy had incredible depth.
00:03:05.608 --> 00:03:06.876
Yeah, he gave in to tds and trump derangement.
00:03:06.876 --> 00:03:09.045
He was a left winger.
00:03:09.045 --> 00:03:09.979
He was a left wing, actually.
00:03:09.979 --> 00:03:10.880
He was quite a quite a sharp one.
00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:12.115
He got really in on anti-russia militarism.
00:03:12.115 --> 00:03:15.618
He said all the he believed all that.
00:03:15.618 --> 00:03:17.687
You know, trump's doing treason.
00:03:17.687 --> 00:03:19.188
Yeah. with russia stuff. let's like okay
00:03:19.188 --> 00:03:22.025
It's cerebral palsy.
00:03:22.492 --> 00:03:23.793
It's a free country. yeah.
00:03:23.793 --> 00:03:26.296
It is a free country.
00:03:26.296 --> 00:03:27.830
And he was allowed to believe what he want.
00:03:27.830 --> 00:03:28.998
That doesn't
00:03:28.998 --> 00:03:30.233
Mean it's okay for him to get stabbed to death by his son.
00:03:30.233 --> 00:03:32.969
And it's disgusting if anyone is celebrating.
00:03:32.969 --> 00:03:35.638
Yeah, i know it really is.
00:03:35.638 --> 00:03:37.006
And, you know, guys like james wood, who's a conservative,
00:03:37.006 --> 00:03:39.742
He came out and he said, you know,
00:03:39.742 --> 00:03:43.212
That he had worked with rob,
00:03:43.212 --> 00:03:44.814
And they were able to maintain their friendship
00:03:44.814 --> 00:03:46.482
Even though they are on diametrically opposed,
00:03:46.482 --> 00:03:48.484
Polar opposites of the political spectrum.
00:03:48.484 --> 00:03:51.688
And, yeah, i mean, it's just, but here's some of his movies,
00:03:51.688 --> 00:03:54.691
This is spinal tap, stand by me,
00:03:54.691 --> 00:03:57.927
Princess bride, when harry met sally, a few good men.
00:03:57.927 --> 00:04:01.364
I mean, this guy had range.
00:04:01.364 --> 00:04:03.866
And say what you will about his politics.
00:04:03.866 --> 00:04:06.302
The guy made some absolute classics of american cinema
00:04:06.302 --> 00:04:10.073
In the 20th century. yeah.
00:04:10.073 --> 00:04:11.274
And yeah, we should acknowledge was an elephant in the room.
00:04:11.274 --> 00:04:14.310
President trump
00:04:14.677 --> 00:04:15.945
Unfortunately posted on truth social this morning.
00:04:15.945 --> 00:04:19.115
He said
00:04:19.349 --> 00:04:20.817
A very sad thing happened last night in hollywood.
00:04:20.817 --> 00:04:23.486
Rob reiner, a tortured and struggling
00:04:23.486 --> 00:04:25.455
But once very talented movie director and comedy star,
00:04:25.455 --> 00:04:28.257
Has passed away together with his wife michelle,
00:04:28.257 --> 00:04:30.360
Reportedly due to the anger he caused others
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.162
Through his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction
00:04:33.162 --> 00:04:36.666
With a mind crippling disease known as trump derangement
00:04:36.666 --> 00:04:40.069
Syndrome, sometimes referred to as tds,
00:04:40.069 --> 00:04:42.772
He was known to have driven people crazy
00:04:42.772 --> 00:04:44.607
By his raging obsession with president donald j.
00:04:44.607 --> 00:04:47.744
Trump, and he goes on for a bit longer.
00:04:47.744 --> 00:04:50.079
I'll be frank, i think the president
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.981
Should delete that.
00:04:51.981 --> 00:04:53.416
Yeah, i, i, i understand that sentiment.
00:04:53.416 --> 00:04:55.818
He's getting a lot of blowback, actually.
00:04:55.818 --> 00:04:57.387
Jake tapper
00:04:57.387 --> 00:04:59.021
Quote, tweeted my tweet with trump's truth to contrast them.
00:04:59.021 --> 00:05:03.292
I mean, listen, i wasn't tweeting what i tweeted.
00:05:03.292 --> 00:05:05.495
You know, trying to make some large statement.
00:05:05.495 --> 00:05:09.599
I just my heart went out to him.
00:05:09.599 --> 00:05:10.767
What can i say?
00:05:10.767 --> 00:05:11.901
So i do think it's fair, though, as soon as we have
00:05:11.901 --> 00:05:15.037
This clip loaded.
00:05:15.037 --> 00:05:16.172
141 this is, rob reiner's reaction to, charlie.
00:05:16.172 --> 00:05:20.410
You first heard about the murder of charlie kirk.
00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:24.480
What was your immediate gut reaction to it?
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.117
Well, horror.
00:05:28.484 --> 00:05:30.186
Absolute horror.
00:05:30.186 --> 00:05:32.355
And i unfortunately
00:05:32.355 --> 00:05:35.024
Saw the video of it, and, it,
00:05:35.024 --> 00:05:39.529
It's in this it's beyond belief what happened to him.
00:05:39.529 --> 00:05:43.199
And, that should never happen to anybody.
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.002
I don't care what your political beliefs are.
00:05:46.002 --> 00:05:48.337
That's not acceptable.
00:05:48.337 --> 00:05:50.139
That's not a solution, to, to solving problems.
00:05:50.139 --> 00:05:55.044
And, i felt like what, his wife said at the,
00:05:55.044 --> 00:05:59.348
The service at the memorial, they had was exactly right.
00:05:59.348 --> 00:06:03.352
And totally i believe, you know, i'm jewish, but i,
00:06:03.352 --> 00:06:07.023
I believe in the teachings of jesus, and,
00:06:07.023 --> 00:06:10.126
I believe in do unto others, and i believe in forgiveness.
00:06:10.126 --> 00:06:13.963
And what she said to me was,
00:06:13.963 --> 00:06:17.633
Beautiful and absolutely, you know what?
00:06:17.633 --> 00:06:20.369
She she forgave, his, his assassin.
00:06:20.369 --> 00:06:24.941
And i think that that is, admirable.
00:06:24.941 --> 00:06:27.743
Yeah.
00:06:27.977 --> 00:06:28.511
And i mean, really,
00:06:28.511 --> 00:06:29.545
That's the only correct response in this moment.
00:06:29.545 --> 00:06:32.448
That is, that is the only correct
00:06:32.448 --> 00:06:33.916
Response, especially in it's
00:06:33.916 --> 00:06:37.620
Whenever anyone dies, but especially when it's
00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:39.789
A heinous murder that no one deserves.
00:06:39.789 --> 00:06:42.692
And, you know, there's a vast tragedy that goes into that.
00:06:42.692 --> 00:06:45.394
And, he was, also well known as meat head on.
00:06:45.394 --> 00:06:49.131
What was that?
00:06:49.131 --> 00:06:50.166
All in the family, which that was such a big deal
00:06:50.166 --> 00:06:52.935
In the 70s. and it's more forgotten today.
00:06:52.935 --> 00:06:55.371
But he was great.
00:06:55.371 --> 00:06:56.506
I actually went watch some of the clips last night,
00:06:56.506 --> 00:06:57.907
And they were they were hilarious.
00:06:57.907 --> 00:06:59.141
There was this.
00:06:59.141 --> 00:06:59.742
Oh, he was the dad
00:06:59.742 --> 00:07:01.310
And wolf of wall street, and i didn't realize that.
00:07:01.310 --> 00:07:03.379
Anyways, rob reiner, i just think it's a total tragedy.
00:07:03.379 --> 00:07:06.549
Yeah, his politics were awful.
00:07:06.549 --> 00:07:08.184
I don't care right now. literally.
00:07:08.184 --> 00:07:10.653
Do not care.
00:07:10.653 --> 00:07:14.690
The wounds from
00:07:15.057 --> 00:07:16.058
October 7th didn't fade when the headlines did.
00:07:16.058 --> 00:07:19.195
Behind me rises
00:07:19.562 --> 00:07:20.763
A new rehabilitation home for israel's wounded soldiers.
00:07:20.763 --> 00:07:24.433
One of many urgent projects israel needs right now.
00:07:24.433 --> 00:07:28.170
Entire communities shattered.
00:07:28.804 --> 00:07:30.907
Families displaced.
00:07:30.907 --> 00:07:32.642
And each day,
00:07:32.642 --> 00:07:33.743
The impact of the need grows even more overwhelming.
00:07:33.743 --> 00:07:37.713
But the bible says it clearly.
00:07:37.713 --> 00:07:39.982
The righteous will live by faith and by faith.
00:07:39.982 --> 00:07:44.153
The fellowship is rolling up our sleeves
00:07:44.153 --> 00:07:45.922
And stepping into this immense challenge.
00:07:45.922 --> 00:07:48.457
Helping mothers who don't know where to begin again.
00:07:48.457 --> 00:07:51.027
Standing with paralyzed heroes.
00:07:51.027 --> 00:07:52.862
Fighting to take their first steps.
00:07:52.862 --> 00:07:55.064
Building centers of healing for the wounded
00:07:55.064 --> 00:07:57.500
And the traumatized.
00:07:57.500 --> 00:07:59.068
Bringing food and comfort to elderly israelis
00:07:59.068 --> 00:08:02.071
Who have no one else to care for them.
00:08:02.071 --> 00:08:05.274
To see the life saving work of the fellowship.
00:08:05.274 --> 00:08:08.311
Unfolding across israel right now.
00:08:08.311 --> 00:08:11.280
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:15.000
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:20.246
Here's a tweet from j.d.
00:08:20.780 --> 00:08:22.081
Vance paying his respects to ella cook.
00:08:22.081 --> 00:08:25.117
She was the vice president
00:08:25.685 --> 00:08:27.820
Of the brown university college republicans.
00:08:27.820 --> 00:08:30.489
He says this beautiful
00:08:30.489 --> 00:08:31.624
Young girl was one of
00:08:31.624 --> 00:08:32.592
The murdered students at brown university.
00:08:32.592 --> 00:08:34.160
It takes a special courage to lead an organization
00:08:34.160 --> 00:08:37.196
Of conservatives on a left wing campus on a far left campus.
00:08:37.196 --> 00:08:40.466
You could say, and i'm very sorry,
00:08:40.466 --> 00:08:42.335
Our country has lost one of its bright young stars.
00:08:42.335 --> 00:08:44.537
Eternal rest grant unto her.
00:08:44.537 --> 00:08:46.505
Oh, lord.
00:08:46.505 --> 00:08:47.673
That's from, vice president j.d.
00:08:47.673 --> 00:08:49.442
Vance. terrible tragedy.
00:08:49.442 --> 00:08:51.711
Everything that i have seen about this young woman
00:08:51.711 --> 00:08:55.147
Said that she was brave. she was kind.
00:08:55.147 --> 00:08:57.650
She was helpful.
00:08:57.650 --> 00:08:58.985
She would throw in and help, you know,
00:08:58.985 --> 00:09:01.387
Lend a hand on anything going on on campus,
00:09:01.387 --> 00:09:03.422
Especially with the college republicans.
00:09:03.422 --> 00:09:05.224
So our heart goes out to ella cook and her family.
00:09:05.224 --> 00:09:08.227
And, another terrible sort of tragedy over the weekend.
00:09:08.227 --> 00:09:11.230
They do not have a suspect at this time.
00:09:11.230 --> 00:09:14.000
They have not released video evidence.
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.302
There's some reporting that
00:09:16.302 --> 00:09:18.738
That would suggest that she was targeted.
00:09:18.738 --> 00:09:20.373
Blake.
00:09:20.373 --> 00:09:21.307
So they had a suspect, person of interest.
00:09:21.307 --> 00:09:23.676
They ended up releasing that. that person of interest,
00:09:23.676 --> 00:09:25.845
Which is just like a whole grain.
00:09:25.845 --> 00:09:27.380
I just it's unbelievable.
00:09:27.380 --> 00:09:28.748
Cameras everywhere. yeah.
00:09:28.748 --> 00:09:29.882
In modern society that you could shoot
00:09:29.882 --> 00:09:32.118
That many people and get away and not have good leads.
00:09:32.118 --> 00:09:34.954
About ten were shot, two were killed.
00:09:34.954 --> 00:09:37.523
Unfortunately, ella is one of those who were killed.
00:09:37.523 --> 00:09:40.993
And unfortunately, there was another shooting,
00:09:40.993 --> 00:09:43.963
That happened obviously in bondi beach, australia,
00:09:43.963 --> 00:09:47.433
15 were killed as, some jewish celebrants
00:09:47.433 --> 00:09:50.836
Were, enjoying a hanukkah celebration.
00:09:50.836 --> 00:09:54.373
And it was right, right there on the beach.
00:09:54.373 --> 00:09:56.308
It there's a whole bunch of crazy stuff with this.
00:09:56.308 --> 00:09:58.511
I mean, it's everything about it is exactly what charlie
00:09:58.511 --> 00:10:02.314
Warned about so often with bringing islam into the west.
00:10:02.314 --> 00:10:06.652
So this was obviously of migrant origin,
00:10:06.652 --> 00:10:10.890
And they targeted a jewish community.
00:10:10.890 --> 00:10:14.427
And it was a father and son team.
00:10:14.427 --> 00:10:17.530
They, they like,
00:10:17.530 --> 00:10:18.431
Lived in $1 million house,
00:10:18.431 --> 00:10:19.999
But they still just go for radical islam.
00:10:19.999 --> 00:10:22.068
So they've thrived in this country that welcomed them.
00:10:22.068 --> 00:10:25.137
And they decide to go and murder a bunch of jews.
00:10:25.137 --> 00:10:28.607
And there they go.
00:10:29.041 --> 00:10:31.444
They go raid the house.
00:10:31.444 --> 00:10:32.611
And the mother, she's i saw an ad on gb news.
00:10:32.611 --> 00:10:35.581
She was saying, you know, her son was a good boy.
00:10:35.581 --> 00:10:38.484
He was a good boy.
00:10:38.918 --> 00:10:39.985
He was a good boy. he was a boy. if you get dirty.
00:10:39.985 --> 00:10:42.221
And he was not a good boy.
00:10:42.221 --> 00:10:45.057
Deer seems not.
00:10:45.057 --> 00:10:46.592
It was not a good boy.
00:10:46.592 --> 00:10:47.493
He was actually a terrible monster.
00:10:47.493 --> 00:10:49.729
It killed a bunch of innocent people.
00:10:49.729 --> 00:10:51.097
It investigated and been investigated
00:10:51.097 --> 00:10:52.998
Because he was apparently tied
00:10:52.998 --> 00:10:54.366
To an islamic cell with the eye of isis,
00:10:54.366 --> 00:10:57.737
And somehow he was not detained.
00:10:58.471 --> 00:11:01.774
Apprehended? his family was allowed to get guns.
00:11:01.774 --> 00:11:03.809
Like the whole thing reeks to high heaven here.
00:11:03.809 --> 00:11:06.846
I don't know how anybody in the western world
00:11:06.846 --> 00:11:09.381
Could be tied to an islamic, you know, isis cell
00:11:09.381 --> 00:11:12.685
And first of all, be allowed to roam free.
00:11:13.552 --> 00:11:16.122
Actually, they should have been deported immediately.
00:11:16.122 --> 00:11:18.424
We should take heed in the united states.
00:11:18.424 --> 00:11:20.760
Secondly, the fact that australia,
00:11:20.760 --> 00:11:23.095
Which has extremely restrictive gun laws, the father
00:11:23.095 --> 00:11:27.399
Apparently had six guns legally owned.
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.870
So the whole country cracks down on law
00:11:30.870 --> 00:11:32.838
Abiding people have. yeah, yeah.
00:11:32.838 --> 00:11:34.240
And yes, everything about
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.908
This is just it's outrageous because this is australia.
00:11:35.908 --> 00:11:39.612
Australia is this big, almost entirely
00:11:39.612 --> 00:11:42.515
Empty continent filled with natural resources.
00:11:42.515 --> 00:11:45.284
They get that they're settled by the english,
00:11:45.284 --> 00:11:47.953
The greatest country creators in the world.
00:11:47.953 --> 00:11:51.357
Yeah.
00:11:51.357 --> 00:11:52.158
Australia has basically no reason
00:11:52.158 --> 00:11:53.826
To have any problems whatsoever.
00:11:53.826 --> 00:11:56.428
They could basically live.
00:11:56.428 --> 00:11:58.597
You could all everyone could live like a king in australia.
00:11:58.597 --> 00:12:01.033
And what they do is
00:12:01.033 --> 00:12:02.701
Because they have this left wing brain virus, like,
00:12:02.701 --> 00:12:05.671
Why do you need any islamic migration into australia?
00:12:05.671 --> 00:12:09.074
What country has ever been made better by saying, yeah, let's
00:12:09.074 --> 00:12:12.878
Bring in more islamic migration to the society?
00:12:12.878 --> 00:12:15.714
Has it made england better? no.
00:12:15.714 --> 00:12:17.216
Has it made germany better? no.
00:12:17.216 --> 00:12:19.285
Yeah.
00:12:19.285 --> 00:12:19.819
And there was this,
00:12:19.819 --> 00:12:20.786
I mean, you got to give credit where it's due.
00:12:20.786 --> 00:12:22.955
There was a, hero that ran in.
00:12:22.955 --> 00:12:26.292
I believe we have that footage.
00:12:26.292 --> 00:12:27.960
Grabbed the gun and basically subdued. it.
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:31.163
Looks like the father and ended up getting shot
00:12:31.163 --> 00:12:34.900
A couple times in the arm by the son who was perched up
00:12:34.900 --> 00:12:37.336
On the bridge.
00:12:37.336 --> 00:12:38.704
So, his name was, i think i'll omid or something.
00:12:38.704 --> 00:12:43.042
I'll omid.
00:12:43.042 --> 00:12:44.710
So it's actually another muslim.
00:12:44.710 --> 00:12:46.278
He's been called a traitor online by.
00:12:46.278 --> 00:12:48.180
Oh, film muslims.
00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:49.114
Oh, by the way,
00:12:49.114 --> 00:12:49.915
There was already video of people
00:12:49.915 --> 00:12:51.150
Celebrating in sydney, other muslims celebrating the attack.
00:12:51.150 --> 00:12:54.053
It it's eerily similar to what happened on october 7th,
00:12:54.053 --> 00:12:57.156
Where you know, jews get attacked and then,
00:12:57.156 --> 00:12:59.491
You know, people, muslims around the world celebrate.
00:12:59.491 --> 00:13:02.194
So pretty sick stuff.
00:13:02.194 --> 00:13:03.596
And, you know,
00:13:03.596 --> 00:13:04.663
I think we should play a cut from from, charlie here.
00:13:04.663 --> 00:13:08.067
Yeah. 115.
00:13:08.367 --> 00:13:10.035
We have just enough time.
00:13:10.035 --> 00:13:10.970
115 spiritual battle is coming to the west,
00:13:10.970 --> 00:13:14.240
And the enemies are wokeism or marxism
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:16.742
Combining with islamism
00:13:16.742 --> 00:13:18.510
To go after what we call the american way of life.
00:13:18.510 --> 00:13:21.780
And the american way of life is very simple.
00:13:21.780 --> 00:13:23.983
I want to be able to get married, buy a home, have kids,
00:13:23.983 --> 00:13:27.953
Allow them to ride their bike till the sun goes down,
00:13:27.953 --> 00:13:30.923
Send them to a good school, have a low crime neighborhood,
00:13:30.923 --> 00:13:34.493
Not to have my kid be taught the lesbian gay
00:13:34.493 --> 00:13:37.329
Transgender garbage in their school
00:13:37.329 --> 00:13:41.600
While also.
00:13:41.934 --> 00:13:44.904
While also not having them
00:13:44.904 --> 00:13:47.273
Have to hear the muslim call to prayer five times a day.
00:13:47.273 --> 00:13:50.943
That's important.
00:13:51.377 --> 00:13:54.046
We want the american way of life,
00:13:54.046 --> 00:13:56.348
Which is, by the way, christendom.
00:13:56.348 --> 00:13:58.651
Such a great clip.
00:13:58.651 --> 00:13:59.985
Gary melton joins us next.
00:13:59.985 --> 00:14:05.724
That christmas morning.
00:14:06.225 --> 00:14:07.826
Wise men brought gifts from outside the holy land.
00:14:07.826 --> 00:14:12.631
But now that the war is over,
00:14:13.265 --> 00:14:16.268
This holy land and her people
00:14:16.268 --> 00:14:18.170
Are still carrying deep wounded.
00:14:18.170 --> 00:14:20.940
Many of the elderly are alone and suffering
00:14:20.940 --> 00:14:24.610
Like the wise men or wise women.
00:14:25.311 --> 00:14:28.547
When you open your heart and give a special holiday food
00:14:28.547 --> 00:14:33.218
Box to someone here in israel
00:14:33.218 --> 00:14:35.921
This christmas chronicles season.
00:14:35.921 --> 00:14:38.991
People like hannah who can't buy food.
00:14:38.991 --> 00:14:43.362
That's where the fellowship is called to feed the hungry.
00:14:43.362 --> 00:14:47.599
Please call, scan or go online now to help rush emergency
00:14:47.599 --> 00:14:51.670
Food and healing to elderly jews
00:14:51.670 --> 00:14:53.772
And their christian neighbors struggling
00:14:53.772 --> 00:14:55.541
To rebuild their lives from the war.
00:14:55.541 --> 00:14:57.710
What will happen when we make this holy day season?
00:14:57.710 --> 00:15:03.282
Holy indeed.
00:15:03.282 --> 00:15:04.997
Holy indeed.
00:15:04.997 --> 00:15:11.126
Without further
00:15:11.493 --> 00:15:12.060
Ado, gary milton, owner
00:15:12.060 --> 00:15:13.795
And lead instructor of paramount tactical.
00:15:13.795 --> 00:15:15.764
You can follow on x, which is how i discovered him.
00:15:15.764 --> 00:15:18.433
He's been doing great work, just breaking down
00:15:18.433 --> 00:15:20.369
All the dynamics of the case.
00:15:20.369 --> 00:15:22.170
I think people's intrigue in the dynamics of the case
00:15:22.170 --> 00:15:24.740
Is reaching an all time high, actually, because we
00:15:24.740 --> 00:15:27.409
We first saw tyler robinson in court last week.
00:15:27.409 --> 00:15:31.013
So, gary, welcome to the show.
00:15:31.013 --> 00:15:32.314
It's an honor to have you.
00:15:32.314 --> 00:15:34.616
Hi. thanks for having me i appreciate it.
00:15:34.616 --> 00:15:36.284
So just a little bit on your background so people understand
00:15:36.284 --> 00:15:39.454
Why you know so much about this topic.
00:15:39.454 --> 00:15:41.456
Gary milton is a former u.s.
00:15:41.456 --> 00:15:43.125
Army special forces green beret.
00:15:43.125 --> 00:15:45.293
You, served as a weapons sergeant and sniper
00:15:45.293 --> 00:15:47.796
Team leader, completing four combat tours.
00:15:47.796 --> 00:15:50.599
Following your military service, gary,
00:15:50.599 --> 00:15:52.634
You held a position of unit chief and special tactics
00:15:52.634 --> 00:15:55.370
And structure for federal agency.
00:15:55.370 --> 00:15:57.339
Today, gary is the owner and lead instructor
00:15:57.339 --> 00:15:59.841
Of paramount tactical solutions,
00:15:59.841 --> 00:16:01.543
A company
00:16:01.543 --> 00:16:02.744
Dedicated to professional firearms and tactical training.
00:16:02.744 --> 00:16:05.013
You work full time, doing that.
00:16:05.013 --> 00:16:07.315
So, gary, you also have a great youtube
00:16:07.315 --> 00:16:09.451
And you're a great twitter follower,
00:16:09.451 --> 00:16:11.019
So you know, your stuff.
00:16:11.019 --> 00:16:12.754
And i wanted to have you on because,
00:16:12.754 --> 00:16:15.390
You know, i refused to go back to utah, like, anytime soon.
00:16:15.390 --> 00:16:18.693
I'll just be honest. it's no offense.
00:16:18.693 --> 00:16:20.328
I just can't bring myself to do it.
00:16:20.328 --> 00:16:22.397
But you actually went to the campus,
00:16:22.397 --> 00:16:25.033
And you retrace the steps of the alleged assassin.
00:16:25.033 --> 00:16:29.805
We have to say that in a sort of journalistic sense.
00:16:29.805 --> 00:16:32.174
Not in, in a any other way.
00:16:32.174 --> 00:16:34.543
I believe he's the man who pulled the trigger.
00:16:34.543 --> 00:16:36.511
Gary, tell us what you what you saw when you visited uvu.
00:16:36.511 --> 00:16:42.551
Yeah.
00:16:42.784 --> 00:16:43.318
So, you know, one of
00:16:43.318 --> 00:16:44.519
The things that i wanted to do while i was there at the time,
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.655
There was a lot of different, you know, conspiracies.
00:16:46.655 --> 00:16:50.459
We had the palm gun.
00:16:50.459 --> 00:16:51.526
We had different shooters in different locations.
00:16:51.526 --> 00:16:53.962
And what i thought was really important to do was go there.
00:16:53.962 --> 00:16:55.864
Number one, talk to eyewitnesses.
00:16:55.864 --> 00:16:57.265
I talked to multiple eyewitnesses while i was there.
00:16:57.265 --> 00:17:00.202
You know that very, very similar stories.
00:17:00.202 --> 00:17:03.138
The other thing that i did while i was there was actually
00:17:03.138 --> 00:17:05.140
I actually flew a drone.
00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:07.042
And what we did was a 3d map survey of the campus
00:17:07.042 --> 00:17:10.979
And we have since built a 3d model of that
00:17:10.979 --> 00:17:13.782
That's interactive.
00:17:13.782 --> 00:17:14.749
People can download for free.
00:17:14.749 --> 00:17:16.418
It's it's on my x account.
00:17:16.418 --> 00:17:18.220
And that way people can kind of see
00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:21.656
What is possible, what has lines of sight.
00:17:21.656 --> 00:17:23.825
And i knew
00:17:23.825 --> 00:17:24.893
Just from what people were saying
00:17:24.893 --> 00:17:26.294
That some of these theories that they were putting out
00:17:26.294 --> 00:17:28.630
Just weren't possible.
00:17:28.630 --> 00:17:29.464
I knew there was no line of sight.
00:17:29.464 --> 00:17:31.166
And then on top of that, i just wanted to get
00:17:31.166 --> 00:17:33.702
Some hard ground truth and see what was going on.
00:17:33.702 --> 00:17:36.004
And, you know, this this case was important to me.
00:17:36.004 --> 00:17:38.440
You know, i was a big fan of charlie's so personal.
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.543
And i think, you know, if you're going to get to
00:17:41.543 --> 00:17:43.845
The truth, you need to get there.
00:17:43.845 --> 00:17:45.080
You need to talk to some people,
00:17:45.080 --> 00:17:46.281
And you need to see the ground truth.
00:17:46.281 --> 00:17:48.583
And, you know, that's kind of what we did.
00:17:48.583 --> 00:17:50.418
Yeah.
00:17:50.418 --> 00:17:51.052
And there's a video here.
00:17:51.052 --> 00:17:52.320
Gary, i'm just going to set you,
00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:53.955
Show it really quick so people can see how easy it
00:17:53.955 --> 00:17:57.459
Ultimately was to get on this rooftop access point. 133
00:17:57.459 --> 00:18:00.896
All right, folks, so here's the stairs
00:18:01.730 --> 00:18:04.499
That go to the roof. wow.
00:18:04.499 --> 00:18:12.574
This wall is about maybe three feet tall.
00:18:13.408 --> 00:18:16.545
All right.
00:18:16.845 --> 00:18:17.746
So right there is the shooting position.
00:18:17.746 --> 00:18:19.347
It's about 200ft away from there.
00:18:19.347 --> 00:18:21.449
You don't need to be spider man.
00:18:21.449 --> 00:18:22.751
As a matter of fact, you don't even need arms.
00:18:22.751 --> 00:18:25.120
You can literally get up there if you didn't have arms.
00:18:25.120 --> 00:18:28.356
Wow. that's a good that's a good visual.
00:18:28.356 --> 00:18:30.192
That's a good visual.
00:18:30.192 --> 00:18:31.760
So just from your knowledge, across the spectrum
00:18:31.760 --> 00:18:36.264
And your own visits, do you feel there's any
00:18:36.264 --> 00:18:39.568
Misconceptions that you're seeing repeated
00:18:39.568 --> 00:18:41.603
Over and over and over again that have spread really far
00:18:41.603 --> 00:18:45.140
That, in your opinion, are pretty easily
00:18:45.140 --> 00:18:48.443
Debunked or opposed?
00:18:48.443 --> 00:18:51.346
Yeah.
00:18:51.346 --> 00:18:51.713
You know,
00:18:51.713 --> 00:18:52.881
There's been a cycle of people taking very normal things,
00:18:52.881 --> 00:18:55.784
Or maybe even slightly abnormal
00:18:55.784 --> 00:18:58.453
And then turning them into suspicious items.
00:18:58.453 --> 00:19:01.256
Right.
00:19:01.256 --> 00:19:01.756
One of the things that
00:19:01.756 --> 00:19:02.424
Really struck me on the ground
00:19:02.424 --> 00:19:03.458
There was exactly how easy this entire thing was.
00:19:03.458 --> 00:19:06.461
You know, before i went there,
00:19:06.461 --> 00:19:08.630
One of the things that was being portrayed
00:19:08.630 --> 00:19:09.998
Was like, this was, you know, some big conspiracy.
00:19:09.998 --> 00:19:12.667
It's very complex. you need professional hitmen.
00:19:12.667 --> 00:19:15.136
It's 140 yards.
00:19:15.136 --> 00:19:16.304
It's so far all these things.
00:19:16.304 --> 00:19:18.106
Now, i knew
00:19:18.106 --> 00:19:19.274
The distances was nothing, especially for a scoped rifle.
00:19:19.274 --> 00:19:22.644
I mean, that is, you know, my my eight year old son
00:19:22.644 --> 00:19:25.313
Was going to courses with a shooting 1200 yards.
00:19:25.313 --> 00:19:28.083
It's not hard.
00:19:28.416 --> 00:19:29.784
And then once you see the layout of the campus,
00:19:29.784 --> 00:19:32.320
You know, looking at it from a security standpoint,
00:19:32.320 --> 00:19:34.789
Unfortunately it was a real challenge.
00:19:34.789 --> 00:19:37.359
Look, i don't want
00:19:37.792 --> 00:19:38.793
To be lied to the by the government,
00:19:38.793 --> 00:19:40.595
But i don't want to be lied to by the internet, either.
00:19:40.595 --> 00:19:42.597
And i think it's really important for us
00:19:42.597 --> 00:19:43.965
To make sure that we're pushing the truth.
00:19:43.965 --> 00:19:46.534
And people are being honest about this.
00:19:46.534 --> 00:19:48.737
And, you know, i think that's
00:19:48.737 --> 00:19:49.938
One of the biggest problems is, is the omission, you know,
00:19:49.938 --> 00:19:53.441
A lot of people
00:19:53.441 --> 00:19:54.476
Pushing these different conspiracy theories and,
00:19:54.476 --> 00:19:57.345
And exploiting charlie's death for their own means,
00:19:57.345 --> 00:20:00.115
They're not telling you
00:20:00.615 --> 00:20:01.750
This information, like, why haven't these people gone
00:20:01.750 --> 00:20:03.752
To this location and looked at this?
00:20:03.752 --> 00:20:05.120
Why aren't they showing people
00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:07.055
How easy it is to actually access the roof?
00:20:07.055 --> 00:20:09.791
And if people saw what i saw,
00:20:09.791 --> 00:20:12.160
A lot of this stuff would make a lot more sense to them.
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:15.397
And they wouldn't believe a lot of these other
00:20:15.397 --> 00:20:19.167
Artificial narratives that people are pushing.
00:20:19.167 --> 00:20:21.269
Question, from a listener, jess.
00:20:21.269 --> 00:20:24.406
They ask, why didn't
00:20:24.406 --> 00:20:27.142
The dude have a gun when he was jumping off the roof?
00:20:27.142 --> 00:20:29.844
Plus, was him
00:20:29.844 --> 00:20:30.945
Putting it together or taking it apart
00:20:30.945 --> 00:20:33.048
With those little tools
00:20:33.048 --> 00:20:34.649
And being able to do it so quickly, was that plausible?
00:20:34.649 --> 00:20:37.152
Especially on the second one.
00:20:37.152 --> 00:20:38.486
I'd have to refresh myself on the first.
00:20:38.486 --> 00:20:40.155
My belief is did he have it?
00:20:40.155 --> 00:20:42.724
He was doing this to carry his pant leg.
00:20:42.724 --> 00:20:45.193
He was walking
00:20:45.193 --> 00:20:45.894
With a weird gait on the video,
00:20:45.894 --> 00:20:47.495
And we actually have some images of this gear
00:20:47.495 --> 00:20:49.397
If you want to start.
00:20:49.397 --> 00:20:50.265
Yeah, but if you have thoughts on the
00:20:50.265 --> 00:20:52.067
On the assembly question specifically because. yeah.
00:20:52.067 --> 00:20:54.703
So unfortunately what we had was we had,
00:20:54.703 --> 00:20:58.173
The governor of utah make kind of a silly statement.
00:20:58.173 --> 00:21:01.276
And he said when he was after the
00:21:01.276 --> 00:21:04.512
After he took the shot, he disassembled it.
00:21:04.512 --> 00:21:07.349
That is not true.
00:21:07.349 --> 00:21:08.350
And he actually does
00:21:08.350 --> 00:21:09.417
Have the rifle when he jumps off of the building.
00:21:09.417 --> 00:21:12.053
And you can actually see it in several shots.
00:21:12.053 --> 00:21:14.589
The problem is we have a really crappy video
00:21:14.589 --> 00:21:17.826
That has been cropped way in,
00:21:17.826 --> 00:21:19.594
But if you actually look
00:21:19.594 --> 00:21:20.495
And look at it, there are many times
00:21:20.495 --> 00:21:22.330
Where you can see what is clearly a rifle.
00:21:22.330 --> 00:21:24.766
Now, as far as a assembly, what we believe
00:21:24.766 --> 00:21:29.003
Is that he actually had the barreled action
00:21:29.003 --> 00:21:32.173
Separated from the stock.
00:21:32.173 --> 00:21:34.175
And when when he was walking around
00:21:34.175 --> 00:21:36.111
With that barreled action down his leg.
00:21:36.111 --> 00:21:37.846
So that's just the action of the barrel,
00:21:37.846 --> 00:21:39.647
The part that holds it all together.
00:21:39.647 --> 00:21:41.216
Well, not really
00:21:41.216 --> 00:21:42.016
The part that holds all together,
00:21:42.016 --> 00:21:43.118
But the stock, the part that we is separate from it.
00:21:43.118 --> 00:21:45.420
So he can make it more compact
00:21:45.420 --> 00:21:46.788
And carry it to the shooting location.
00:21:46.788 --> 00:21:48.890
Here's some great examples of pictures that i pulled,
00:21:48.890 --> 00:21:51.693
Where you can actually see that he clearly
00:21:51.693 --> 00:21:54.929
Has something much longer.
00:21:54.929 --> 00:21:56.064
The problem is, is that this video footage is so poor.
00:21:56.064 --> 00:22:00.368
And then on top of that, it's zoom.
00:22:00.368 --> 00:22:01.703
So it's, you know, it's cropped so far in that it is very
00:22:01.703 --> 00:22:05.407
Difficult to see this.
00:22:05.407 --> 00:22:06.474
And i understand why people are confused by that.
00:22:06.474 --> 00:22:08.676
But all it takes is two screws to put the
00:22:08.676 --> 00:22:12.514
The action of the barrel action back onto the stock itself.
00:22:12.514 --> 00:22:16.484
And it's not going to affect accuracy or anything like that.
00:22:16.484 --> 00:22:19.454
It would take less than a minute.
00:22:19.454 --> 00:22:21.389
And it's not that complicated, not that hard.
00:22:21.389 --> 00:22:23.992
But people have tried to over complicate it.
00:22:23.992 --> 00:22:26.361
Yeah. this was fantastic.
00:22:26.361 --> 00:22:27.896
Gary, we're going to have you on again soon.
00:22:27.896 --> 00:22:30.265
Gary milton, paramount tactical.
00:22:30.265 --> 00:22:32.567
Thank you.
00:22:32.567 --> 00:22:35.170
As this year draws to an end,
00:22:35.804 --> 00:22:37.272
I'd like to express my
00:22:37.272 --> 00:22:38.640
Heartfelt gratitude to our partners, the fellowship
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.643
Of christians and jews.
00:22:41.643 --> 00:22:43.178
And i'd like to say thank you to our audience
00:22:43.178 --> 00:22:45.613
Who have supported them in prayer, with finances
00:22:45.613 --> 00:22:47.849
And standing strong for the people of israel.
00:22:47.849 --> 00:22:49.951
The fellowship is one of america's
00:22:49.951 --> 00:22:51.419
Most beloved
00:22:51.419 --> 00:22:52.554
Organizations, spanning more than 40 years of ministry,
00:22:52.554 --> 00:22:54.989
Providing tangible help
00:22:54.989 --> 00:22:56.558
And comfort to the people of israel
00:22:56.558 --> 00:22:58.193
In the ukraine and across the former soviet union.
00:22:58.193 --> 00:23:01.162
This holiday season and every day of the year,
00:23:01.162 --> 00:23:03.298
The fellowship is called to serve
00:23:03.298 --> 00:23:04.833
The elderly jewish people,
00:23:04.833 --> 00:23:06.100
Many of whom are holocaust survivors who are now
00:23:06.100 --> 00:23:09.037
Living in the shadow of past wars, poverty and loneliness.
00:23:09.037 --> 00:23:12.774
During this christmas time, join me and fulfill
00:23:12.774 --> 00:23:15.276
