All right, the Charlie Kirk murder trial is underway, and I just think the whole thing, I thought it was always weird. Something is really, really off. There's something incredibly off with Erica Kirk. There's something incredibly off with the FBI investigation into it. All of the evidence that they popped out really quickly, Cash Patel, Incompetent AF, as you know. Well, Erica Kirk posts a statement on behalf of her and Charlie's family before the preliminary trial. this up. Statement on behalf of Charlie Kirk's immediate family, his parents Robert and Catherine, his wife, Erica, and his sister, Mary. Charlie was a beloved husband, son, brother, friend, and father.

Every court proceeding serves as a painful reminder of his death and the loss that has irrevocably impacted our lives and the lives of his children. We remain deeply grateful for the support, prayers, and kindness we have received this outpouring, has sustained us through the darkest days of our lives out of respect for the judicial process, we will not be commenting further at this time. We ask for continued privacy as we navigate this process and immense grief. Prosecutors only need to show probable cause, not proof beyond a reasonable doubt for the trial to proceed. It's a very low threshold that prosecutors are expected to clear. Erica arrived separately from Charlie's parents.

Our friend Joanna Coles over at The Daily Beast pointed out while she was on the podcast that we haven't really heard from Charlie Kirk's parents since the assassination. All you hear from are these influencers and then Erica Kirk is on tour and it's just, it's a really, really bizarre thing. Well, it gets weirder. Dawn Jr. is showing up to the preliminary hearing. So pop this up. Don Trump Jr. is inside the Provo, Utah courtroom for the preliminary hearing of Tyler Robinson in murder of Charlie Kirk for our Fox reporter inside.

I just want to remind everybody, Tyler Robinson was raised MAGA, Mormon, white neighborhood, did not go to any sort of liberal school, was not indoctrinated by anything. This is a MAGA childhood in a white cracker neighborhood with Republican conservative people as far as you can see. Well, and we're not going to get any information from this preliminary hearing because no videos will be shown to the public. No evidence will be shown to the public. As we all know, Cash Patel immediately locked down any type of evidence or FBI investigation from anybody. I mean, like the only people that know what's happening is going on inside that courtroom, despite there is no prohibition against cameras in the courtroom and evidence at a preliminary hearing being made public.

So again, it's a bunch of secrets surrounding this entire process. I just, I make, I think something's really strange about Don Jr. being there. I think that is like sending some sort of like monitor slash babysitter over the situation. Like, why on earth is Don Jr. there? Like, seriously, that is so weird to me. And it gets even more bizarre from there. Pop this up. Donald Trump Jr. and Erica Kirk reportedly having lunch together inside courthouse.

I just, I think the whole thing, every time there's a shooting surrounding any MAGA, an attempted, attempted assassination on Trump or this guy. Typically, when these things happen, like the media is frothing at the mouth and you get this whole, like, we talk to the neighbor, we talked to the person they lost their virginity to. We talked to the person that taught them second grade. It's just like this whole, and it's always crickets about all of these people. Does Tyler Robinson, there's been no like major expose, nor has there been like that Thomas Crooks guy. It's like they get these, I don't know.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I think all of this stinks to high heaven. I think it's the most normal thing I've ever seen Erica Kirk do since her husband died was that joint tweet that was put out. That is the only normal thing I've seen her do. All right. Shifting gears, I think Mitch McConnell, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I swear, but I think Mitch McConnell is in a vegetable state, practically dead machines keeping him alive. Pop this up. Discerving new allegations accused Republicans of hiding Mitch McConnell's health status in order to prevent a special election that could put Trump's enemy Thomas Massey in the Senate. This seems incredibly shady. Independent journalist Desiree Townsend laid out the disturbing case with clarity. Senator Mitch McConnell

has now been hospitalized for three weeks. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated, especially given that his wife, Elaine Chow, appeared in China just days after his hospitalization to meet with high-ranking Chinese officials. Here's the thing. If he were fine, we'd get statements that he were fine. We would see him with a picture of, you know, an aide. And I mean, if Elaine had to cut and run, at least with somebody that cared about him, but we don't because this is just what these people do. They are so scared to lose proximity to power. I mean, we've got weekend at Bernie in the presidency, and now we're propping up some guy

that's, you know, on live support as a senator. That's how fucked we are. Yeah, and I think what really just on a personal note, what personally pisses me off is this is how Mitch would want to go. He would say, keep me alive. If you can fuck over the Democrats one more time, while I'm on my deathbed, I will die a happy man. And that's what pisses me off about it. It's the people that lecture us about rules and decorum and law and order.

The people that misbehave the most. And Mitch McConnell, in my opinion, is a domestic terrorist. He has terrorized this nation for decades. And yes, I said it. McConnell is a domestic terrorist, the terror that he has unleashed on the American public, this little nothing senator from Kentucky to have that much power to shape the Supreme Court. Every single thing that's coming out of the Supreme Court right now, Mitch McConnell made that. So yes, I think he's a domestic terrorist. And then the Trump administration is going

after the Smithsonian Museums for acknowledging slavery. Pop this up. A White House report brands the leadership of the Smithsonian Institution, especially at the National Museum of American History, as radical activists who cannot be trusted indicating that President Donald Trump may be preparing to install his own team. So basically, they're mad because the Smithsonian Museums acknowledge slavery. It's such a, this is not surprising. This is what, you know, I would say, oh, this is all under Trump. I wish I could say that. but we have a history of this. I went to Oklahoma public schools. I never knew anything about Black Wall Street, the massacre of black people and business. It was never in our history books,

not in Oklahoma history, not in U.S. history. So this whitewashing of history is nothing new. The links that people are going to, Donald Trump's not being sly about it. It's just straight up, we're not acknowledging anything we don't want to. The 2020 election was rigged. January 6th was a riot. And I'm going to say it until people believe it. And it is, it is extremely sad that our country cannot reconcile with its past because that's why we're here. Yeah. And I think that so many Americans are still inherently racist. And that's really the sad part. There's just so many racist people. And they are able to be racist with impunity. And now it's even worse.

So the most racist person you've ever known is a million times more racist now. And a person who was racist curious is completely untethered from it because of all of this shit. And then Benny Johnson goes on a racist rant about how black women's only contribution to America was getting impregnated as slaves. And I just want to let you know. Benny Johnson, allegedly, married, you know, big Christian, big maga thumper. Also, big power bottom, like constantly trolling men at, you know, turning point conventions and CPAC conventions. But here he is being racist.

When his side of the street, he's a huge closet, homosexual. It's just, it's so disgusting that these broken people that do not. not have the uh a sense about them to be curious and become better people but they're all surrounded by other broken people and and then he goes off and he says something like this play the clip aim i want a name okay i ain't a name of a single black woman that had something to do with america's founding go i mean i can think of like i didn't thomas jeperson have like like half his family like with out of what i'd have what i'd have what luck with the slaves, I think. Isn't that historic? Anyway, anyway, that's like as close as I can

get. Listener, I have to tell you about my new obsession. It is the mushroom coffee from mudwater. It is delicious. I feel energized throughout the day. It is such a gift in the morning to give yourself the mudwater coffee. I love trying new coffee shops and fun seasonal drinks, but a full cup sometimes just sends me into orbit. That's why I love med water. Same morning ritual, coffee, chai, or macha, but with functional mushroom. Medwater is a coffee alternative made with mushrooms and adaptogens, about one-seventh of the caffeine of coffee, so you get the focus and the energy without the jitters, crash, or anxiety.

Please show support for our show and tell them we sent you. You know, I just, I just want to slap the shit out of him. I think I could take him down. This is so disrespectful. First of all, it's so disrespect. to black women who were slaves. It's so disrespectful to all the slaves just acting like their only contribution was childbearing.

And the fact, like you said, everybody's worse. The fact that he got on a video and said this and thought, oh, yeah, this is no big deal. I can say this. The decay and the rot that the people watching this have, that he has, that like you said, so many people, my family, worse. because of all this because the race isn't not even trying to hide it anymore. It's just out and about. And you know what's so sad about it is like we're seeing it and we're shocked. Black people have always known that. They felt that. They're not surprised by this. They're like, good. Finally,

they're saying it out loud. At least they're owning it. And it's the white shock of people that want to pretend that, oh, it's not bad or we're in a post-racial America. It's the the luxury of being white that you can live in a world where you can think, oh, we're in a post-racial America. I think Bill Maher says that type of thing. And clearly we're not. And from my understanding, I'm obviously a white privileged woman, but black people, when they see that, they're not surprised.

It's white people that are surprised by it. Black people know that because they're treated like that. Especially black women. They know a guy like Benny Johnson is a bigot. And they know that other white people around them allow for this type of thing to happen with impunity. It's just on the airwaves now. And so it's just, it's really, it's really troubling. But I think the message for this is that Democrats really need to peg them with this.

Like, they are just an absolute racist group of people, really broken degenerates. I mean, just the absolute worst human beings in this country are, in the MAGA movement. There's just no other way around it. I mean, these are just horrible, horrible, awful people that want everybody, their desire is. This is how unoriginal they are. Everybody has to think the same way. Everybody has to have the same opinion. Everybody has the same religion, the same taste in things, the same taste in politics, you know, like this total monolithic life. That's what's interesting to them. That is like the most boring thing on the planet. It's why I moved to New because I wanted to get away from that.

I want to be in diversity. I want to be around art. I want to be around culture. MAGA wants to explore and experience culture, but then they want to only for their entertainment purposes, and then they want to project this white supremacist world. Here's my thing. Y'all want it, go live in it.

Go live in your cookie cutter households, get your little HOA thing going and y'all just harass the shit out of each other. But the rest of us like multiculturalism, you know? Get your HOA and a wrap. That's what they do, you know. There's nothing more top. Micromanagers, HOA for sure. Yeah, Benny Johnson, it's like clean your side of the street before you start telling

everybody else, but they're just so fragile. Everybody has to believe what we believe. And here's the thing, they get away with it because people believe it. People think that that's right. They're confirmation bias, like, oh, I'm allowed to be racist. I'm allowed to do all that because I'm in. title because I'm special. I mean, we've got white supremacy groups that used to be on the fringe. Now we've got the leader of a white supremacy group in fucking ice. And Benny Johnson, you know my

lingering picture of alligator Alcatraz is that concentration camp is a picture of Benny Johnson with an alligator Alcatraz hat on with a great big smile on his face. That's who he is. Yeah, he's also a big closet bottom is who he is. He is a guy who wants to leg, picture everybody who is a marginalized person in the sheets at night in the closet. And he comes out and does all this racist shit. And it's just such a disgrace. I mean, he's just an absolute total disgrace. But, I mean, as Stephen Schmidt told us, who was in Republican circles for years, worked in the White House,

90% of Republicans that he worked with were closet cases. So the call is coming from inside the house. So they can't really, you know, because they all want to make out with each other. aka Matt Schlapp. They can't, they pick on the lowest common denominator that they can. They're always beaten up on black women. And black women have more Cajunas than any of these people. Black women are the heart and soul of this nation. And I just think that is such a low-hanging fruit, cheap shot. And I wish that more white people would be loud and proud allies of our black community because our nation is a million times better because of black culture. All right,
