You can't entertain Americans when you actually hate the average American, their values, their belief systems, you know, the country that they love. Enter the Daily Wire. Our newest release, Run Hide Fight Infidels, is finally streaming. Radical jihadists will destroy our freedom, but only if we let them. If you're a fan of those over-the-top action-packed films from the 80s and 90s, Red Dawn, Toy Soldiers, this is a movie you're not going to want to miss. Red-blooded American Good Guys taking on the radical Islamic terrorists. To regain their freedom. Watch Run Hide Fight Infidels. It's streaming now only on the Daily Wire. Well, folks, we'll get to the gigantic media news. The Jimmy Kimmel's show is basically cooked.
We'll get to why that happened, what the government's involvement was or was not in that. I want to begin, as we've begun every day since the murder of my friend Charlie Kirk. with some tribute to Charlie Kirk, because I think it is important to remember the uplifting, remember the legacy before we get to, you know, the depressing and upsetting. So Glenn Beck, my friend, hosted Charlie Kirk's show yesterday. Obviously the vice president of the United States had the privilege of hosting Charlie's show on Monday. And then the the Daily Wire crew. Matt Walsh, Michael Moles, and I hosted Charlie's show on Tuesday. Glenn hosted Charlie's show yesterday. And he had something that I thought was pretty amazing.
He brought along the EIB microphone, the excellence in broadcasting microphone that Rush Limbaugh used during his days. And he gave it to TP USA. He put it on the desk in front of Charlie's chair, paying tribute to Charlie. Here was Glenn yesterday.
I brought something. with me today that I thought was appropriate while I did the show. That I would sit in front of Charlie's microfon. It was given to me after The death of Rush Limbaugh by his wife. It is Russia's golden microphone.
I think it's appropriate. But it sits in front of Charlie's microphone.
Very generous gesture by Glenn. Obviously, the Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, is on Fox News last night with Jesse Waters talking about Charlie in a bit of a town hall. And here he was praising Charlie Kirk, his friend.
I don't want anybody to remember Charlie Kirk and that five seconds at the end of his life. I wanted to remember Charlie Kirk, the skilled debater. I wanted to remember those videos, those incredible videos of him and his wife and his babies and how much he loved Erica and how much he loved those kids. I wanted to remember Charlie for that. I wanted to remember Charlie for the guy for when it was these kids behind me. Now I hate to call you guys kids, but you are, you know, who who would a progressive would speak Would step up to the microphone at a Turning Points USA event, and some of the audience would jeer and cheer, and Charlie would say, No, no, let him speak because he so desperately believed in this idea that we should be talking with and debating one another.
So maybe see the video to understand what the far left did to Charlie Kirk. Absolutely. But that should be one fraction of one percent of your memory of Charlie Kirk, 99.9%.
Uh JD went on to talk about the fact that, you know, there are a lot of people who have been celebrating Charlie's death that continues today. Schmucks like Keith Olbermann doing that routine, talking about Charlie Burning and Hell and all the rest. Uh JD Vann said, you know, consequences from civil society are a thing. Now again, I've been saying for a very, very long time that the kind of low pixelation version of the cancel culture argument is a very stupid argument. That argument is morally relativistic, which is there should never be any consequences for any speech of any kind. That of course is unbelievably silly. No one has an obligation to pay you to say dumb crap. No one has an obligation to keep you employed if you celebrate the death of a political commentator with whom you had disagreements.
Nobody has that obligation. The original argument against cancel culture is that it has extended so far.
