Charlie Kirk Today | Jonathan Keeperman: October 9, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | October 9, 2025

Brought to you in part by the
00:00:01.781 --> 00:00:03.483
International fellowship of christians and jews.
00:00:03.483 --> 00:00:15.695
I want to start with just a praise report
00:00:16.563 --> 00:00:18.832
From last night at montana state university, where the
00:00:18.832 --> 00:00:23.837
Turning point tour, we call it, this is the turning point
00:00:23.837 --> 00:00:27.841
Campus tour had its next stop.
00:00:27.841 --> 00:00:31.411
And this look at these images for you
00:00:31.411 --> 00:00:34.314
Watching, at home or on the stream.
00:00:34.314 --> 00:00:37.750
This this place is packed in montana.
00:00:37.750 --> 00:00:40.153
This is not a population center, blake.
00:00:40.153 --> 00:00:42.689
And the amount of energy in this room was so extraordinary.
00:00:42.689 --> 00:00:47.827
They were chanting.
00:00:47.827 --> 00:00:48.895
They were jumping up and down.
00:00:48.895 --> 00:00:50.563
And then vivek ramaswamy, you know, left his campaign
00:00:50.563 --> 00:00:54.601
In ohio, by the way, where he's,
00:00:54.601 --> 00:00:56.269
Attempting to be the next governor of the state of ohio
00:00:56.269 --> 00:00:59.806
To come speak with our students,
00:00:59.806 --> 00:01:01.074
Which just again
00:01:01.074 --> 00:01:02.075
Shows the amount of commitment that the friends
00:01:02.075 --> 00:01:05.111
In the movement have for what we're doing.
00:01:05.111 --> 00:01:07.180
A turning point.
00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:08.348
And that's what turning point is all.
00:01:08.348 --> 00:01:10.283
That is why you want to know why a turning point
00:01:10.283 --> 00:01:12.685
Is so important right now is because we have always been
00:01:12.685 --> 00:01:16.322
About the debate. we've always been about the dialog.
00:01:16.322 --> 00:01:18.491
We've always been about having the conversation
00:01:18.491 --> 00:01:20.493
Because that's what america is supposed to be about.
00:01:20.493 --> 00:01:22.962
And yet there's this really disturbing story
00:01:22.962 --> 00:01:25.598
That's coming
00:01:25.598 --> 00:01:26.699
Out of washington, d.c., where a man is targeting.
00:01:26.699 --> 00:01:30.470
It has been discovered with explosives, the red mass.
00:01:30.470 --> 00:01:34.307
Exactly. right.
00:01:34.307 --> 00:01:34.841
So all right,
00:01:34.841 --> 00:01:35.675
So for those who don't know, the red
00:01:35.675 --> 00:01:37.076
Mass is a thing that happens
00:01:37.076 --> 00:01:38.411
Once a year around the start of the supreme court term.
00:01:38.411 --> 00:01:41.581
It has its roots in the middle ages.
00:01:41.581 --> 00:01:44.684
It's like a very formal thing that it's like a catholic mass
00:01:44.684 --> 00:01:48.288
That's sort of dedicated to lawyers, which
00:01:48.288 --> 00:01:50.990
It's already a scary thing.
00:01:50.990 --> 00:01:52.192
You know, religious rituals and lawyers
00:01:52.192 --> 00:01:54.060
Don't, don't mix well.
00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:55.195
But anyway, it's a traditional thing is a weird
00:01:55.195 --> 00:01:58.198
Get dressed up.
00:01:58.198 --> 00:01:58.831
And it's, of course,
00:01:58.831 --> 00:01:59.699
Become a big deal because so many of
00:01:59.699 --> 00:02:01.134
The conservative supreme court justices,
00:02:01.134 --> 00:02:03.136
In recent years, have been catholic.
00:02:03.136 --> 00:02:05.271
They often go to this service.
00:02:05.271 --> 00:02:07.006
And then a lot of other catholic
00:02:07.006 --> 00:02:08.641
Lawyers will attend it as well.
00:02:08.641 --> 00:02:10.343
And so this man, louis gary, 41 years old,
00:02:10.343 --> 00:02:15.081
He apparently was in a tent in front of the church
00:02:15.081 --> 00:02:18.218
When police arrived to clear the area
00:02:18.218 --> 00:02:20.820
Because there were going to be
00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:21.721
A bunch of supreme court justices there.
00:02:21.721 --> 00:02:23.556
And then this guy clearly doesn't seem to have it.
00:02:23.556 --> 00:02:26.125
All right, v
00:02:26.125 --> 00:02:27.360
All right in the head because he's just got
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.395
A tent in front of this church.
00:02:29.395 --> 00:02:30.797
And then when the police approach, he says, get away.
00:02:30.797 --> 00:02:33.132
I have a bunch of explosive devices.
00:02:33.132 --> 00:02:35.201
They said over 200,
00:02:35.201 --> 00:02:37.670
Which sounded to me like,
00:02:37.670 --> 00:02:38.938
Did he have just a bunch of fireworks or something?
00:02:38.938 --> 00:02:41.040
But what it was is apparently they were all homemade.
00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:43.776
There were vials of nitro methane.
00:02:43.776 --> 00:02:46.346
And it appears he was basically making
00:02:46.346 --> 00:02:49.182
Homemade molotov cocktail type things that he
00:02:49.182 --> 00:02:53.086
Told officers that the vials were intended
00:02:53.086 --> 00:02:54.988
To be used as grenades with rubber bands
00:02:54.988 --> 00:02:57.323
To secure the fuze, according to court records.
00:02:57.323 --> 00:03:01.594
He was in possession of molotov cocktails
00:03:01.594 --> 00:03:03.963
And modified bottle rockets covered with aluminum foil
00:03:03.963 --> 00:03:07.367
And treated in a pyrotechnic solution.
00:03:07.367 --> 00:03:10.370
The devices appeared fully functional.
00:03:10.370 --> 00:03:13.006
So it seems, he said,
00:03:13.006 --> 00:03:14.807
You might want to stay back and call the federals.
00:03:14.807 --> 00:03:17.577
I have explosives, gary said.
00:03:17.577 --> 00:03:19.545
Now, we're fortunate.
00:03:19.545 --> 00:03:21.648
This guy just appears to have been pretty nuts.
00:03:21.648 --> 00:03:24.083
So not really capable
00:03:24.083 --> 00:03:25.618
Of pulling off a complicated attack scheme,
00:03:25.618 --> 00:03:28.421
But i think is very indicative.
00:03:28.421 --> 00:03:29.689
Just last week, we had the sentencing of
00:03:29.689 --> 00:03:32.659
The attempted assassin of brett kavanaugh.
00:03:32.659 --> 00:03:35.328
That guy was a lot more, systematic in his approach.
00:03:35.328 --> 00:03:39.632
He figured out, how can i, you know, how can i get a gun?
00:03:39.632 --> 00:03:42.335
How can i get approach?
00:03:42.335 --> 00:03:43.369
He had, like, wire cutters and a knife and an ax.
00:03:43.369 --> 00:03:46.539
All this area, it was a very serious attempt.
00:03:46.539 --> 00:03:48.775
Very serious attempt.
00:03:48.775 --> 00:03:49.575
Flew across the country
00:03:49.575 --> 00:03:50.543
To do it and then would have done it.
00:03:50.543 --> 00:03:52.412
Except he had a failure of nerve
00:03:52.412 --> 00:03:54.080
When he saw federal agents outside
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:55.515
Kavanaugh's house, turned himself in.
00:03:55.515 --> 00:03:57.517
And then this federal judge says,
00:03:57.517 --> 00:03:59.085
You know, i feel bad for you because you'd have to
00:03:59.085 --> 00:04:01.688
Go to a men's prison.
00:04:01.688 --> 00:04:02.989
And now you say you're a transgender woman,
00:04:02.989 --> 00:04:05.024
So i'm only going to give you eight years.
00:04:05.024 --> 00:04:06.659
You've already served three.
00:04:06.659 --> 00:04:07.827
You could be out, you know, three years from now. and
00:04:07.827 --> 00:04:11.064
Then when, you
00:04:11.397 --> 00:04:12.298
Know, when even when his own lawyer said,
00:04:12.298 --> 00:04:14.901
Like like the judge got angry when someone referred to this
00:04:14.901 --> 00:04:17.904
As a political attack.
00:04:17.904 --> 00:04:18.838
Because judges aren't political, judges
00:04:18.838 --> 00:04:20.340
Aren't political.
00:04:20.340 --> 00:04:21.307
There's no there's no political agenda
00:04:21.307 --> 00:04:22.775
That could come into play when possibly doing one of these.
00:04:22.775 --> 00:04:25.578
And so, yeah,
00:04:25.578 --> 00:04:27.046
We're seeing this environment,
00:04:27.046 --> 00:04:28.147
This environment that people are marinating in
00:04:28.147 --> 00:04:31.184
Because the left has used this,
00:04:31.184 --> 00:04:33.319
You know, they use the fascist word a lot.
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:35.021
They use the nazi word a lot.
00:04:35.021 --> 00:04:37.123
They really whip people up when they anytime there's these
00:04:37.123 --> 00:04:40.593
Rulings related to things like child gender
00:04:40.593 --> 00:04:43.363
Transitions, things like that.
00:04:43.363 --> 00:04:46.999
They won't say like, oh, this is a bad ruling.
00:04:46.999 --> 00:04:49.702
They will say they're denying your existence.
00:04:49.702 --> 00:04:52.305
They will say you
00:04:52.305 --> 00:04:53.506
They are trying to destroy your right to exist.
00:04:53.506 --> 00:04:55.875
They're using this a totalizing
00:04:55.875 --> 00:04:57.877
They're going to kill you rhetoric.
00:04:57.877 --> 00:04:59.679
And loony people are taking that literally.
00:04:59.679 --> 00:05:02.248
Well, and, you know, this is why
00:05:02.248 --> 00:05:04.584
In the aftermath of what happened to charlie,
00:05:05.518 --> 00:05:08.054
It was so important
00:05:08.054 --> 00:05:09.188
That there was all of these accounts
00:05:09.188 --> 00:05:10.723
And a major hat tip to libs of tics.
00:05:10.723 --> 00:05:12.825
I certainly didn't have the brain space to even do this.
00:05:12.825 --> 00:05:15.495
But i saw, you know, you go on twitter, everybody's
00:05:15.495 --> 00:05:18.164
Outing these people celebrating
00:05:18.164 --> 00:05:19.432
Because ultimately that is a culture
00:05:19.432 --> 00:05:21.734
That's celebrating death fed, fetishizing political violence.
00:05:21.734 --> 00:05:25.872
And that's why i think it's important
00:05:25.872 --> 00:05:27.039
That we were trying to get some of these people fired.
00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:29.776
I think that's complete.
00:05:29.776 --> 00:05:30.843
We need to talk to you on political assassination.
00:05:30.843 --> 00:05:34.380
Also, though, you need judges
00:05:34.380 --> 00:05:37.049
To not give lenient leniency to potential assassins.
00:05:37.049 --> 00:05:41.120
This is the direct through line between these two cases
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.023
Is that you have leniency on a potential assassin.
00:05:44.023 --> 00:05:46.859
And then, oh, lo and behold, a week later, this happens
00:05:46.859 --> 00:05:50.863
Where a guy's sitting outside
00:05:50.863 --> 00:05:52.165
Of where all the justices are going to be with explosives.
00:05:52.165 --> 00:05:56.335
Yeah, he's a loony looney tunes. he's crazy.
00:05:56.335 --> 00:05:58.905
But you have to understand, if you do not enforce the law,
00:05:58.905 --> 00:06:02.442
If you do not punish evildoers, society will fall apart.
00:06:02.442 --> 00:06:06.646
I love this headline.
00:06:06.646 --> 00:06:07.547
Nbc4 washington had a tweet about this.
00:06:07.547 --> 00:06:10.283
A man who had vials of liquid, was arrested outside the.
00:06:10.283 --> 00:06:14.520
He was arrested outside the cathedral of saint matthew.
00:06:14.520 --> 00:06:17.590
And then it has the readers added a note.
00:06:17.590 --> 00:06:19.525
The vials of liquid were molotov cocktails.
00:06:19.525 --> 00:06:21.427
It's one of the all time great it's been.
00:06:21.427 --> 00:06:23.296
You know, it could have been a diet coke,
00:06:23.296 --> 00:06:24.664
You know, one of the all time
00:06:24.664 --> 00:06:26.032
Great, community notes on on x.
00:06:26.032 --> 00:06:29.535
But, yeah, i mean, here's the thing.
00:06:29.535 --> 00:06:31.037
We need to make sure that the evil doers are punished.
00:06:31.037 --> 00:06:33.206
We need to
00:06:33.206 --> 00:06:34.440
Make sure the taboo remains in full force, full strength.
00:06:34.440 --> 00:06:37.109
And we.
00:06:37.109 --> 00:06:38.044
And that's why people getting fired from
00:06:38.044 --> 00:06:38.878
Their jobs is completely appropriate.
00:06:38.878 --> 00:06:40.446
When you celebrate violence,
00:06:40.446 --> 00:06:41.514
When you act like a vile, ghoulish person,
00:06:41.514 --> 00:06:44.417
Or when you're like jimmy kimmel
00:06:44.417 --> 00:06:46.586
And you try and lie about who's behind a certain attack,
00:06:46.586 --> 00:06:50.356
And then you're going to double down on it,
00:06:50.356 --> 00:06:52.191
Then, yeah, you deserve consequences
00:06:52.191 --> 00:06:53.893
And you deserve the backlash.
00:06:53.893 --> 00:06:59.332
In genesis
00:06:59.632 --> 00:07:00.533
12 three, god made a powerful promise
00:07:00.533 --> 00:07:03.169
To abraham, the father of the jewish people.
00:07:03.169 --> 00:07:06.372
I will bless those who bless you.
00:07:06.372 --> 00:07:09.575
The christian bible tells us
00:07:09.575 --> 00:07:11.110
That we have been grafted into god's family tree.
00:07:11.110 --> 00:07:14.080
The rich olive tree of israel,
00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:16.482
The very foundations of the christian faith,
00:07:16.482 --> 00:07:18.885
The bible and jesus, whom christians call
00:07:18.885 --> 00:07:21.487
The messiah, are deeply rooted in israel.
00:07:21.487 --> 00:07:24.957
Supporting israel aligns christians with god's
00:07:24.957 --> 00:07:27.593
Prophetic timeline.
00:07:27.593 --> 00:07:28.961
It demonstrates our willingness to be instruments of
00:07:28.961 --> 00:07:32.198
God's blessing, uplifting his chosen people,
00:07:32.198 --> 00:07:35.768
And it calls us to confront and heal
00:07:35.768 --> 00:07:38.070
The centuries old wounds of anti-semitism.
00:07:38.070 --> 00:07:41.107
The scripture says how good and how
00:07:41.107 --> 00:07:43.543
Pleasant it is when brethren dwell together.
00:07:43.543 --> 00:07:46.846
You can be part of this historic movement
00:07:46.846 --> 00:07:50.383
Of bringing light to our world.

00:07:53.152 --> 00:07:55.288
J.org today.
00:07:55.288 --> 00:07:57.323
One out of every five pregnancies in the us
00:07:58.224 --> 00:08:01.294
And an abortion.
00:08:01.294 --> 00:08:03.029
Did you know that

Jonathan cooperman.
00:09:03.257 --> 00:09:04.225
We were just saying,
00:09:04.225 --> 00:09:05.326
I don't know if you heard us, but we were really.
00:09:05.326 --> 00:09:06.661
We were really gushing about you, jonathan.
00:09:06.661 --> 00:09:08.730
Right
00:09:08.730 --> 00:09:09.497
Before the end of the first hour,
00:09:09.497 --> 00:09:10.398
We were saying there's so many topics
00:09:10.398 --> 00:09:12.166
That we wanted to hit,
00:09:12.166 --> 00:09:13.267
But we wanted to hit them with the immortal lomas.
00:09:13.267 --> 00:09:17.038
So we were thinking, the first one to hit
00:09:17.038 --> 00:09:19.474
That would be very fun.
00:09:19.474 --> 00:09:20.908
Is, this hassan piker story?
00:09:20.908 --> 00:09:24.078
We have to show the shock jock.
00:09:24.078 --> 00:09:26.180
The shock jock? we're calling him now.
00:09:26.180 --> 00:09:27.749
We heard for, you know, the past year,
00:09:27.749 --> 00:09:30.284
The left needed its own joe rogan.
00:09:30.284 --> 00:09:33.054
But it turns out that hassan piker is just a shock jock.
00:09:33.054 --> 00:09:36.324
Let's see, we have, this is all the video
00:09:36.324 --> 00:09:38.559
That people are reacting to.
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:39.761
We've got a million different things here.
00:09:39.761 --> 00:09:41.596
I can help you.
00:09:41.596 --> 00:09:42.664
Let's do, so this was happening during a stream.
00:09:42.664 --> 00:09:45.733
It's clip 84
00:09:45.733 --> 00:09:48.569
Of all of america's much
00:09:48.569 --> 00:09:50.505
More consequential violence.
00:09:50.505 --> 00:09:53.741
Okay, it's the same reason as to why america.
00:09:53.741 --> 00:09:57.612
Kaya, please just go.
00:09:57.612 --> 00:10:00.281
You stop.
00:10:00.281 --> 00:10:04.552
Jesus christ, what are you doing?
00:10:05.319 --> 00:10:07.989
You're being such a baby.
00:10:07.989 --> 00:10:11.793
It's just.
00:10:12.093 --> 00:10:14.462
No, she doesn't want to come over here to see what's up.
00:10:14.462 --> 00:10:17.165
She just wants roam the house because she got the rome.
00:10:17.165 --> 00:10:20.601
The house. when i was gone.
00:10:20.601 --> 00:10:22.470
And she needs to literally have the same structured,
00:10:22.470 --> 00:10:25.540
Regimented.
00:10:25.540 --> 00:10:30.511
Oh, i think that's
00:10:30.945 --> 00:10:32.547
Went to trump's big baby desk immediately.
00:10:32.547 --> 00:10:34.549
I just i hate everything, i just i hate everything.
00:10:34.549 --> 00:10:38.019
So if it's not clear what was going on
00:10:38.019 --> 00:10:39.721
Exactly there,
00:10:39.721 --> 00:10:40.421
It looks like his dog rushes
00:10:40.421 --> 00:10:41.889
Over towards hassan and he reaches and he maybe
00:10:41.889 --> 00:10:44.726
Hits something or clicks something,
00:10:44.726 --> 00:10:46.327
And the dog immediately bugs out.
00:10:46.327 --> 00:10:47.862
If you've had a dog, you know that greatly resembles
00:10:47.862 --> 00:10:50.498
If you have a shot call, i'd like to keep it
00:10:50.498 --> 00:10:51.733
From wandering off your house, which a lot of people have,
00:10:51.733 --> 00:10:54.769
You know, to discipline your dog.
00:10:54.769 --> 00:10:55.837
But he's just using it. the invisible fence.
00:10:55.837 --> 00:10:58.139
Yeah, the invisible fence, by the way.
00:10:58.139 --> 00:10:59.373
I mean, he's just
00:10:59.373 --> 00:11:00.608
Using it to punish the dog and, you know, make it freak out.
00:11:00.608 --> 00:11:03.044
So, so my and i, lomas, i think i can hear you now.
00:11:03.044 --> 00:11:07.181
Can you hear me? i can hear you. okay, good.
00:11:07.181 --> 00:11:08.816
I just want to make sure we've got our we got our check.
00:11:08.816 --> 00:11:10.451
We're going to go.
00:11:10.451 --> 00:11:11.319
Here's my reaction to this instantly.
00:11:11.319 --> 00:11:13.721
If he's willing to do this to a dog
00:11:13.721 --> 00:11:16.524
Like an on it, use a shock collar
00:11:16.524 --> 00:11:19.727
To harm an innocent like dog because he's annoyed
00:11:19.727 --> 00:11:23.030
That it walked over to him as a live stream prop.
00:11:23.030 --> 00:11:26.334
What is he willing to do
00:11:26.868 --> 00:11:29.504
In other context, with maybe to humans?
00:11:29.504 --> 00:11:32.440
We know that hassan has has, fantasized
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:37.011
Or at least described in gruesome detail,
00:11:37.011 --> 00:11:40.081
Harming conservatives.
00:11:40.548 --> 00:11:42.283
So this is a nasty person.
00:11:42.850 --> 00:11:44.819
I oppose animal cruelty in all forms.
00:11:44.819 --> 00:11:48.790
I want to say that.
00:11:48.790 --> 00:11:49.991
And i want to call on our good friends at peta,
00:11:49.991 --> 00:11:53.327
To make an example out of hassan.
00:11:53.327 --> 00:11:56.130
I think assad needs a visit.
00:11:56.130 --> 00:11:58.533
From the good people at peta.
00:11:58.533 --> 00:12:00.701
Buckets of paint, whatever they want to do.
00:12:00.701 --> 00:12:04.205
This, i think is, a perfect opportunity for for peta to,
00:12:04.205 --> 00:12:08.676
Reassert themselves into the public conscience
00:12:08.676 --> 00:12:11.112
And sort of take care of this guy who clearly,
00:12:11.112 --> 00:12:14.215
Has no regard for animal life.
00:12:14.215 --> 00:12:16.884
And, you know, i mean, this, like, truthfully,
00:12:16.884 --> 00:12:19.821
It's like well known that,
00:12:19.821 --> 00:12:22.123
Children who become sort of, psychopaths have violent
00:12:22.123 --> 00:12:27.361
Ideation of various kinds, are well known to be,
00:12:27.361 --> 00:12:31.666
You know, torture animals in their youth.
00:12:31.666 --> 00:12:35.603
And i think we're seeing,
00:12:35.603 --> 00:12:36.904
Like, a familiar pattern here, the disregard
00:12:36.904 --> 00:12:39.707
For the well-being of animals very easily passes over
00:12:39.707 --> 00:12:43.144
Into a disregard for the well-being of of people.
00:12:43.144 --> 00:12:46.280
And so, hassan, please, you know, you're going to need
00:12:46.280 --> 00:12:49.116
A visit from, pamela anderson or whoever is, coming up,
00:12:49.116 --> 00:12:52.687
Word from peta.
00:12:52.687 --> 00:12:53.788
I have to tell you guys something else this morning.
00:12:53.788 --> 00:12:56.190
I'm glad we're talking about the subject.
00:12:56.190 --> 00:12:58.192
I happen to be listening to npr.
00:12:58.192 --> 00:12:59.927
You know, someone's got to pay attention
00:12:59.927 --> 00:13:01.829
To what these people are doing, okay?
00:13:01.829 --> 00:13:03.331
And i am nothing if not a good patriot.
00:13:03.331 --> 00:13:05.533
And so i was i was listening to npr
00:13:05.533 --> 00:13:08.202
And there was a profile interview this morning on npr.
00:13:08.202 --> 00:13:12.273
And i kid you not, this is exact language.
00:13:12.273 --> 00:13:15.309
Hassan piker, the left's charlie kirk.
00:13:15.309 --> 00:13:19.480
Okay, so i don't need to add or mean to add
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:23.050
Any additional insult. are you okay?
00:13:23.050 --> 00:13:25.219
Are you serious?
00:13:25.219 --> 00:13:26.187
I need to find this. am i here? he is.
00:13:26.187 --> 00:13:28.656
This is exactly why they do not deserve your tax dollars.
00:13:28.656 --> 00:13:31.759
People. because they employ people.
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:33.461
They employ idiots that would make.
00:13:33.461 --> 00:13:36.631
And by the way,
00:13:36.998 --> 00:13:37.999
I can't tell what comparison is more insulting.
00:13:37.999 --> 00:13:41.302
Mr. cooperman.
00:13:41.636 --> 00:13:43.204
Yeah.
00:13:43.204 --> 00:13:43.905
Charlie kirk and george floyd
00:13:43.905 --> 00:13:45.172
Or charlie kirk and hasan piker.
00:13:45.172 --> 00:13:48.242
At least charlie and george floyd
00:13:48.242 --> 00:13:50.578
Were born on the same day.
00:13:50.578 --> 00:13:51.679
Did you know that i did they have the same birthday?
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.015
Absolutely. mind blown.
00:13:54.015 --> 00:13:55.082
Coincidence. that is shocking.
00:13:55.082 --> 00:13:56.651
Well, at least there are some obvious
00:13:56.651 --> 00:13:59.387
Things that you could connect a few dots.
00:13:59.387 --> 00:14:01.455
Hasan piker, there's nothing obvious about this. but.
00:14:01.455 --> 00:14:04.692
And we actually wanted to hit this story because
00:14:04.692 --> 00:14:07.228
Charlie and hasan had a debate scheduled.
00:14:07.228 --> 00:14:10.631
That will never happen at.
00:14:10.631 --> 00:14:12.533
Was it dartmouth?
00:14:12.533 --> 00:14:13.567
Was it at dartmouth? yeah, it was at dartmouth.
00:14:13.567 --> 00:14:15.002
Yeah.
00:14:15.002 --> 00:14:16.003
And, you know, we we were prepping for that.
00:14:16.003 --> 00:14:19.040
We were getting ready and kind of diving into,
00:14:19.040 --> 00:14:22.276
You know, some of his ideas, if you could call them that.
00:14:22.276 --> 00:14:24.345
I think they're just pure like
00:14:24.345 --> 00:14:25.713
Animal instincts, pun intended.
00:14:25.713 --> 00:14:28.382
So yeah.
00:14:28.382 --> 00:14:29.050
I mean that's really unfair.
00:14:29.050 --> 00:14:30.751
Well, okay, let's just play this out.
00:14:30.751 --> 00:14:32.353
What did they say?
00:14:32.353 --> 00:14:33.387
I mean, they didn't really have an argument.
00:14:34.288 --> 00:14:35.690
It all boils down to the fact that, you know, piker
00:14:35.690 --> 00:14:39.694
Speaks to an audience of young people on the left,
00:14:39.694 --> 00:14:42.964
And their only way to sort of, like, understand
00:14:42.964 --> 00:14:46.167
Comparisons in this regard is who is your audience?
00:14:46.167 --> 00:14:49.937
Rather than what you do or what you promote or the ideas
00:14:49.937 --> 00:14:53.841
That are animating your, you know, public activism.
00:14:53.841 --> 00:14:57.578
And i mean, like either with floyd
00:14:57.578 --> 00:14:59.981
Or with piker, it does kind of make sense.
00:14:59.981 --> 00:15:03.551
I mean, the left is offering up a kind of valorization
00:15:03.551 --> 00:15:09.056
And promotion and celebration
00:15:09.056 --> 00:15:13.060
Of degeneracy and weakness and frailty.
00:15:13.060 --> 00:15:17.665
And hasan piker, yes, he's got like a big twitch
00:15:17.665 --> 00:15:21.669
Show, but his life consists of and this is his own words,
00:15:21.669 --> 00:15:25.573
Seven hours a day, seven days a week.
00:15:25.573 --> 00:15:29.443
In that room, shocking his dog, apparently.
00:15:29.443 --> 00:15:33.614
And, you know, spouting off on twitch, on a gamer stream.
00:15:33.614 --> 00:15:38.552
Nothing wrong with gaming.
00:15:38.552 --> 00:15:39.820
I love gaming, i'm a gamer myself.
00:15:39.820 --> 00:15:42.323
Whereas charlie, of course, at the age of 31,
00:15:42.323 --> 00:15:45.926
Has built this a massive, enterprise
00:15:45.926 --> 00:15:49.864
That consists of not just his show,
00:15:49.864 --> 00:15:51.665
Not just the talking, but, you know,
00:15:51.665 --> 00:15:54.535
You guys have employed hundreds of people,
00:15:54.535 --> 00:15:57.972
All motivated to do good action, tp, usa, etc..
00:15:57.972 --> 00:16:02.309
So there's just
00:16:02.309 --> 00:16:03.544
An obvious difference between the caliber of person here.
00:16:03.544 --> 00:16:08.416
One out of every five pregnancies in the us
00:16:09.316 --> 00:16:12.386
And an abortion.
00:16:12.386 --> 00:16:14.121
Did you know that
00:16:14.121 --> 00:16:15.122
When a mother sees her baby on an ultrasound
00:16:15.122 --> 00:16:17.224
And hears the heartbeat for the first time,
00:16:17.224 --> 00:16:19.593
It increases the chance you'll choose life to 80%.
00:16:19.593 --> 00:16:23.597
An ultrasound is what saves lives.
00:16:23.597 --> 00:16:26.167
They need your help to make free ultrasounds.
00:16:26.167 --> 00:16:28.536
Excessive all through preborn.
00:16:28.536 --> 00:16:31.038
Preborn is a nonprofit organization.
00:16:31.038 --> 00:16:33.741
They save 200 babies a day, but they need your help
00:16:33.741 --> 00:16:37.211
To save more precious lives.
00:16:37.211 --> 00:16:38.913
For only $28.
00:16:38.913 --> 00:16:41.215
Your generous donation provides a free, life
00:16:41.215 --> 00:16:43.784
Saving ultrasound to a woman in need.
00:16:43.784 --> 00:16:46.754
It was like instant love.
00:16:46.754 --> 00:16:48.722
Like i just felt already like, i love you so much.
00:16:48.722 --> 00:16:52.560
Preborn continues to help mothers
00:16:52.560 --> 00:16:54.595
Throughout their pregnancy
00:16:54.595 --> 00:16:56.063
And for up to two years after the child is born.

Shock jock hasan piker.
00:17:15.252 --> 00:17:16.720
Katie porter, you maybe don't think that they're connected,
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:19.523
But they are, because these are these mask off moments.
00:17:19.523 --> 00:17:23.060
And we are seeing the character of the people of the left.
00:17:23.060 --> 00:17:26.330
This is this is this is my running thesis.
00:17:26.330 --> 00:17:28.999
So i first need to know blake potato mashed potato.
00:17:28.999 --> 00:17:32.736
So okay, so just just to remind people who katie porter
00:17:32.736 --> 00:17:35.539
Is, she's running for governor of california.
00:17:35.539 --> 00:17:38.442
I believe she's currently in the house.
00:17:38.442 --> 00:17:40.010
And so she was giving an interview with, i believe,
00:17:40.010 --> 00:17:43.514
Cbs news. yep.
00:17:43.514 --> 00:17:44.948
Sacramento local sacramento.
00:17:44.948 --> 00:17:46.450
I think we should get the breaking thing is
00:17:46.450 --> 00:17:47.584
Then we'll get into our our potatoes.
00:17:47.584 --> 00:17:48.952
I'm just so curious.
00:17:48.952 --> 00:17:50.154
So she was giving this interview
00:17:50.154 --> 00:17:52.422
Where they just ask total,
00:17:52.422 --> 00:17:53.457
You know, that total softball question like,
00:17:53.457 --> 00:17:55.225
How are you going to reach across the aisle
00:17:55.225 --> 00:17:56.660
To the people who voted for the other side
00:17:56.660 --> 00:17:58.395
In the election politics one on one.
00:17:58.395 --> 00:18:00.030
Let's just play clip 87.
00:18:00.030 --> 00:18:02.566
What do you
00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:03.700
Say to the 40% of california voters
00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:05.369
Who you'll need in order to win?
00:18:05.369 --> 00:18:06.937
Let me be clear with you.
00:18:06.937 --> 00:18:08.238
I represented orange county.
00:18:08.238 --> 00:18:09.940
I represented a purple area.
00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:11.542
I have stood on my own two feet
00:18:11.542 --> 00:18:12.976
And won republican votes before
00:18:12.976 --> 00:18:14.578
That.
00:18:14.578 --> 00:18:15.078
It's not something
00:18:15.078 --> 00:18:15.946
Every candidate in this race can say.
00:18:15.946 --> 00:18:17.247
So you don't think like this is unnecessarily argumentative?
00:18:17.247 --> 00:18:19.850
What is your question?
00:18:19.850 --> 00:18:21.118
It's the question is the same thing i asked everybody
00:18:21.118 --> 00:18:23.987
I haven't written and i'll answer.
00:18:23.987 --> 00:18:25.055
And we've also asked the other candidates,
00:18:25.055 --> 00:18:26.990
Do you think you need
00:18:26.990 --> 00:18:27.991
Any of those 40% of california voters to win?
00:18:27.991 --> 00:18:30.627
And you're saying, no, you don't know?
00:18:30.627 --> 00:18:31.962
I'm saying i'm going to try to win every vote i can.
00:18:31.962 --> 00:18:34.798
And what i'm saying to you is that,
00:18:34.798 --> 00:18:37.000
Well, to those voters.
00:18:37.467 --> 00:18:38.535
Okay. so so you i don't want to keep doing this.
00:18:38.535 --> 00:18:40.370
I'm going to call it.
00:18:40.370 --> 00:18:41.505
Thank you.
00:18:41.505 --> 00:18:44.074
You're not going to do the interview with us?
00:18:44.074 --> 00:18:46.076
Nope. not like this. i'm not.
00:18:46.076 --> 00:18:47.277
Not with seven follow ups to every single question you ask.
00:18:47.277 --> 00:18:49.980
Every other candidate has, i don't care.
00:18:49.980 --> 00:18:51.949
Let's i don't care.
00:18:51.949 --> 00:18:55.152
Lovely woman. you could just.
00:18:55.152 --> 00:18:56.353
You could feel the energy.
00:18:56.353 --> 00:18:58.188
So the reason i call her
00:18:58.188 --> 00:18:59.423
Mashed potatoes, katie porter, besides physically resembling
00:18:59.423 --> 00:19:01.992
A pile of mashed potatoes, is in 20.
00:19:01.992 --> 00:19:05.762
Let's see, this is 2023.
00:19:05.762 --> 00:19:07.631
The new york post had some documents from,
00:19:07.631 --> 00:19:11.001
I believe, her divorce
00:19:11.001 --> 00:19:12.903
Proceedings against a former husband
00:19:12.903 --> 00:19:14.905
And her former husband accused her of throwing
00:19:14.905 --> 00:19:17.307
Toys, books and other objects at him during their marriage
00:19:17.307 --> 00:19:20.544
And even allegedly poured scalding hot
00:19:20.544 --> 00:19:23.513
Mashed potatoes on his head during a fight.
00:19:23.513 --> 00:19:29.019
Yeah.
00:19:29.253 --> 00:19:29.753
And, i believe the
00:19:29.753 --> 00:19:31.255
Person that first broke this story, the
00:19:31.255 --> 00:19:33.590
The comment from one of the, the ex staffers of katie porter
00:19:33.590 --> 00:19:36.293
Said, just imagine what she's like
00:19:36.293 --> 00:19:38.395
When the cameras are not rolling.
00:19:38.395 --> 00:19:39.997
Ooh ooh.
00:19:39.997 --> 00:19:41.531
All right lomas, your turn.
00:19:41.531 --> 00:19:43.433
What do you make of this?
00:19:43.433 --> 00:19:44.668
You know, katie porter to me is the sort of, apotheosis of
00:19:44.668 --> 00:19:47.738
Of liberal politics at this point.
00:19:47.738 --> 00:19:49.473
She's what i'd call a sort of longhouse matron.
00:19:49.473 --> 00:19:53.710
I kind of like like the fact that people
00:19:53.710 --> 00:19:56.046
Like her in the spotlight because it demonstrates
00:19:56.046 --> 00:19:58.415
Perfectly the sort of personality type
00:19:58.415 --> 00:20:00.851
That runs democratic politics and runs the aforementioned
00:20:00.851 --> 00:20:04.221
Institutions we were talking about.
00:20:04.221 --> 00:20:06.089
It's just, you know, at all times, you're surrounded by,
00:20:06.089 --> 00:20:09.426
You know, a vice principal, third grade teacher
00:20:09.426 --> 00:20:12.029
Who's slapping you on the,
00:20:12.029 --> 00:20:13.363
You know, hands with a ruler for telling, like, a joke.
00:20:13.363 --> 00:20:16.433
You know, during, you know, math lesson or something.
00:20:16.433 --> 00:20:20.237
And if this is the view that, you know, mainstream voters
00:20:20.237 --> 00:20:23.840
Have of the democratic party, that's going to be great,
00:20:23.840 --> 00:20:27.010
For us and for our agenda.
00:20:27.010 --> 00:20:29.046
So i support this fully.
00:20:29.046 --> 00:20:30.814
I wish katie porter the best.
00:20:30.814 --> 00:20:32.449
I want to see more of katie porter in the news.
00:20:32.449 --> 00:20:34.818
Well, you know, what strikes me is that it when they can't
00:20:34.818 --> 00:20:38.455
Argue their points
00:20:38.455 --> 00:20:39.423
Where they they just don't feel like they
00:20:39.423 --> 00:20:41.458
Owe anybody an explanation for something.
00:20:41.458 --> 00:20:43.493
They just get morally indignant.
00:20:44.194 --> 00:20:46.697
And that is a cousin to some of the this,
00:20:46.697 --> 00:20:50.434
I believe it's all related to some of the people feeling
00:20:50.434 --> 00:20:54.237
Justified to do whatever they want
00:20:54.237 --> 00:20:55.939
When they disagree with somebody,
00:20:55.939 --> 00:20:57.207
Whether that's political violence, whether that's moral
00:20:57.207 --> 00:20:59.142
Indignation, turning off an interview.
00:20:59.142 --> 00:21:01.044
There is this this sense that they don't deserve
00:21:01.044 --> 00:21:04.715
To explain themselves.
00:21:04.715 --> 00:21:06.183
They don't owe it to anybody, which is they don't
00:21:06.183 --> 00:21:09.619
Deserve to be questioned.
00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:10.787
It's just which is a like a phenomenally striking moment
00:21:10.787 --> 00:21:14.157
For somebody running to be
00:21:14.157 --> 00:21:15.292
The governor of the largest, economy with the state,
00:21:15.292 --> 00:21:18.228
With the largest economy in the country.
00:21:18.228 --> 00:21:19.896
Yeah.
00:21:19.896 --> 00:21:20.897
And also just the you get that element where
00:21:20.897 --> 00:21:24.034
Almost certainly this is a left leaning
00:21:24.034 --> 00:21:26.269
News operation that she's interviewing with.
00:21:26.269 --> 00:21:29.306
And but you're actually if you talk to liberals enough
00:21:29.306 --> 00:21:32.876
Or just see them in their own habitat,
00:21:32.876 --> 00:21:34.711
They often have this belief that the media is right wing.
00:21:34.711 --> 00:21:38.115
I recently saw this kook on, x who said that
00:21:38.115 --> 00:21:40.650
The washington post is this, like far right paper now?
00:21:40.650 --> 00:21:43.520
Oh, because of jeff bezos, right? yeah. yeah.
00:21:43.520 --> 00:21:45.622
You know, just it's no passage press, i'll tell you.
00:21:45.622 --> 00:21:47.824
Yeah.
00:21:47.824 --> 00:21:48.658
You know, it's big but but you yeah.
00:21:48.658 --> 00:21:50.961
You know, it's you know, it's interesting is that
00:21:50.961 --> 00:21:53.663
I will say if somebody has some experience in california,
00:21:53.663 --> 00:21:56.867
There's such a lack of
00:21:56.867 --> 00:21:58.235
Input from conservatives now in the state
00:21:58.235 --> 00:22:00.937
That some of the journalists want to kind of get into.
00:22:00.937 --> 00:22:03.440
They want to get a piece of that action
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:05.142
And kind of act like conservatives still play.
00:22:05.142 --> 00:22:06.843
And by the way, there's
00:22:06.843 --> 00:22:07.878
Millions of amazing patriots in california.
00:22:07.878 --> 00:22:10.647
You were, professor at uc riverside.
00:22:10.647 --> 00:22:12.516
I mean, you know,
00:22:12.516 --> 00:22:13.483
I had you know, i've known porter for a decade
00:22:13.483 --> 00:22:16.586
Because she's, from the irvine area,
00:22:16.586 --> 00:22:18.655
Which is where i taught at uc irvine.
00:22:18.655 --> 00:22:20.524
And yeah, people forget
00:22:20.524 --> 00:22:21.591
California has more trump voters
00:22:21.591 --> 00:22:23.293
Than any other state in the country.
00:22:23.293 --> 00:22:25.295
There are millions of trump voters in california.
00:22:25.295 --> 00:22:27.998
There are very good people there.
00:22:27.998 --> 00:22:29.633
And it's a huge mistake
00:22:29.633 --> 00:22:31.101
For conservatives just to write it off.
00:22:31.101 --> 00:22:32.769
And it's the same problem with, conservatives saying
00:22:32.769 --> 00:22:35.405
That, like, they hope mom donny wins in new york because,
00:22:35.405 --> 00:22:38.508
You know, these coastal elites deserve what they get.
00:22:38.508 --> 00:22:41.411
Well, actually,
00:22:41.411 --> 00:22:42.512
We want to preserve the best places in this country
00:22:42.512 --> 00:22:44.915
And make them better.
00:22:44.915 --> 00:22:45.782
We don't want to see them get worse.
00:22:45.782 --> 00:22:47.484
The problem in california is multifold, but one of which
00:22:47.484 --> 00:22:50.887
Is that normal middle class people who want to raise kids,
00:22:50.887 --> 00:22:54.357
Want to have families, want to have decent
00:22:54.357 --> 00:22:56.092
Jobs, have left, and they're leaving, in mass.
00:22:56.092 --> 00:22:59.329
And california actually has net out domestic migration.
00:22:59.329 --> 00:23:03.767
So natives are leaving, more so than people coming in.
00:23:03.767 --> 00:23:08.605
So it's it's a state that's increasing,
00:23:08.605 --> 00:23:10.774
Run by the left by, you know, coastal liberals,
00:23:10.774 --> 00:23:14.978
Quote unquote, but also masses of immigrants
00:23:14.978 --> 00:23:17.848
Who just
00:23:17.848 --> 00:23:19.015
Don't have the same sense of inheritance of this place
00:23:19.015 --> 00:23:22.285
That, you know, california native to have.
00:23:22.285 --> 00:23:23.887
So it's a place that i want to see, rescued.
00:23:23.887 --> 00:23:26.723
And, you know, i,
00:23:26.723 --> 00:23:27.691
I hope one day for a reconquista of california
00:23:27.691 --> 00:23:31.695
Jonathan cooperman lomas, thank you so much.
00:23:31.695 --> 00:23:34.865
Thanks, guys. really appreciate it.
00:23:34.865 --> 00:23:39.703
The poverty is unimaginable.
00:23:40.303 --> 00:23:43.673
There are people who are struggling.
00:23:43.673 --> 00:23:46.643
Those who are hungry.
00:23:47.143 --> 00:23:48.578
Forgotten jews.
00:23:48.578 --> 00:23:50.280
Scripture says joy can come in the morning.
00:23:50.280 --> 00:23:53.149
And you can be the reason.
00:23:53.149 --> 00:23:54.851
Bless these hurting children of israel.
00:23:54.851 --> 00:23:57.487
Your urgent gift today of $25 will help rush
00:23:57.487 --> 00:24:01.458
A survival food box filled with life saving essentials.
00:24:01.458 --> 00:24:05.228
Tens of thousands of elderly holocaust survivors
00:24:05.228 --> 00:24:08.198
In the former soviet union are living in extreme poverty.
00:24:08.198 --> 00:24:12.068
Hungry
00:24:12.269 --> 00:24:13.036
For god? the truly international
00:24:13.036 --> 00:24:15.005
Fellowship of christians and jews.
00:24:15.005 --> 00:24:16.806
We can bring hope.
00:24:16.806 --> 00:24:18.542
It's my favorite food.
00:24:18.542 --> 00:24:21.311
May you be blessed.
00:24:21.311 --> 00:24:21.311
