Starting point is 00:03:30 what you need to tell them i am you have the voice tell them it's time for donkey of the day it's a read but you're so good at it you're trying to be a fake ass charlemagne you only one Charlemagne to go. Ben Charlemagne, who you giving Dusty of the Day to now? Well, Sexy Red, Doggy of the Day for Monday, January 29th goes to Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk is a radio talk show host.
Starting point is 00:03:54 He founded Turning Point USA and he had something to say in regards to New York City Councilman Yusuf Salam. Recently, Councilman Yusuf Salam got pulled over here in New York City for having tinted windows. The irony of this story is that he got pulled over while on a call about police stops. Let's go to Fox 5 for the report, please.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Councilman Yusuf Salam, one of the exonerated members of the Central Park Five, says he was stopped by police Friday night without an explanation. In a statement, the council member says, in part, quote, I introduced myself asman Yusef Salaam and subsequently asked the officer why I was pulled over. Instead of answering my question, the officer stated, we're done here and proceeded to walk away. The NYPD released body cam video. At no point do we hear Salaam asking the officer why he was stopped. I'm Officer Kentucky from the 26th Precinct. I'm Council Member Salam. Oh, Council Member?
Starting point is 00:04:49 District 9. Oh, okay. I have a gun. Yep. The officers pulled over Salam's blue sedan for driving with dark tinted windows beyond legal limits, a violation of New York state law. Councilman Salam said the interaction calls into question how NYPD stops New Yorkers. Salam and other members of the city council have pushed the NYPD and Mayor Eric Adams for greater reporting on all stops, including low level interactions. I'm sure we will have more conversations about that in the future.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Councilman Salam, you're welcome to come up here at any time to discuss. But I want to talk about Charlie Kirk and this tweet he posted about the situation. This is Charlie Kirk's tweet. I'm a read it verbatim verbatim. OK, he tweeted New York City Councilman Yusuf Salam, who once took part in the gruesome gang rape of a jogger in Central Park, is now furious that an NYPD officer dared to pull him over for having illegally tinted windows. Salaam wasn't even arrested or given a ticket. But after getting away with gang rape, he apparently thinks he deserves to be completely above the law. What a disgusting pig.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Now, in light of E. Jean Carroll winning a defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump for eighty three point three million dollars, I would think folks, especially those of us who speak for a living, okay, would move a little differently. Charlie, I don't know how old you are, but I would implore you to watch When They See Us on Netflix, okay? It details the story of the Central Park Five. And the biggest thing for you to know, the biggest thing for you to know, if you just did your Googles just a little bit, you know, just a little bit you know just a little bit the biggest thing for you to know is that all of the central park five was exonerated when the true attacker confessed to the crime and was linked to the crime by dna evidence now charlie you said councilman salam got away with gang rape um clearly that wasn't true and in 2014 the central park five sued new york city for wrongful conviction and violation of their civil rights, eventually
Starting point is 00:06:45 winning a $41 million settlement. How much would Yusuf get for suing you, Charlie Kirk, for defamation? I wonder. See, we live in a world where people just say things and you can't go after everyone who just says things because if you did, then you would be going at people all day. But when certain people say certain things, you may have to make an example out of them because of who they are charlie kirk you have a voice a voice that people listen to folks follow you they follow turning points and when you put out this kind of false information this kind of fake news there has to be consequences and
Starting point is 00:07:19 repercussions you can't accuse a man of gang rape when that man has been exonerated of said gang rape and DNA evidence linked someone else to the crime. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You owe Yusuf Salaam an apology. And even with that apology, I don't know if that's enough for Yusuf, for Councilman Salaam. All right. The damage a tweet like this can do to his reputation simply because people don't read and people don't care to have their facts great. The emotional harm this can cause to yusuf and his family i just don't understand why someone in your position charlie kirk would be so reckless with their words even if you feel like what you said is true
Starting point is 00:07:55 it don't matter because the facts are the facts and your feelings are not facts and the facts do not care about your feelings you call this man a disgusting pig if trump just lost the defamation lawsuit 83.3 million because he called eugene carroll a whack job how much do you get for accusing an innocent man a gang rape and calling him a disgusting pig i'm sure councilman yusuf salam got better things to do but maybe his lawyers don't charlie i believe you should apologize you should apologize. You should apologize. Because the bank account you saved by apologizing may be your own.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Please let Remy Ma give Charlie Kirk the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. But even with that apology. The damage is done. Damage is done. I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:08:44 I'm with you. The damage is done. Damage is done. I'm with you. I'm with you. Damage is done. Damage is done. That man spent nearly seven years in prison. I thought it was longer. No, seven. It's nearly seven years. Nearly seven years.
Starting point is 00:08:53 He was exonerated, starting his life over. He's a counterman now. Now somebody comes with a lie. Jesus Christ. What's that worth? I don't know.? I don't know I really don't know what I'm saying Trump just lost a defamation lawsuit
Starting point is 00:09:09 For 83.3 million Just because he was accused of something He said he didn't do it And he called the woman a whack job So you call somebody a disgusting pig For something that they got exonerated from In a court of law DNA evidence linked
Starting point is 00:09:21 To somebody else And that person that it was linked to Confessed to the crime? Well, not the disgusting pig part. It's all everything else that he said. He said the gang rape and all that. It's all, to me, that's all in one. Mm.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Mm-mm-mm. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Now, when we come back, Just Niche will be joining us. She's a comedian out of Chi-Town. We're going to talk to her next. So don't move.
