  1. 0:00So, I look at the media and I have I I
  2. 0:03have no quarter for them. I do think
  3. 0:05they're very much part of the problem. I
  4. 0:08And it's it's why on the Jimmy Kimmel
  5. 0:10thing, I have no tears to shed for him,
  6. 0:14even if the FCC were involved, which
  7. 0:16again, they made a threat. They didn't
  8. 0:18actually get involved. They didn't
  9. 0:19actually pull somebody's license or send
  10. 0:22a letter saying, "Give me all the
  11. 0:24justifications or I'm going to pull your
  12. 0:26license under the following couple of
  13. 0:28provisions." And believe me, I spent the
  14. 0:29weekend looking up what authority, if
  15. 0:31any, the FCC has
  16. 0:34if it wanted to actually pull the
  17. 0:35license of of ABC. And we'll get to that
  18. 0:38a little later this week. But it it's
  19. 0:41why I can't work up any tears over
  20. 0:43what's happening to him because it the
  21. 0:45media, they control everything. They
  22. 0:48control all the messaging. All the
  23. 0:49messaging. What would life have been
  24. 0:51like? Would Charlie have lived? Would
  25. 0:53Trump not have gotten shot if we didn't
  26. 0:54have a media that was constantly telling
  27. 0:56us that they both are fascists? That
  28. 0:58they both are na Nazis? How divisive
  29. 1:00they both are? If we didn't have a media
  30. 1:03that cheered the four indictments and
  31. 1:04pretended they were real, that Trump had
  32. 1:06really obviously committed a bunch of
  33. 1:07crimes. That didn't actually try to
  34. 1:09convince us he raped some woman who
  35. 1:10couldn't even remember the alleged year
  36. 1:12in which she was raped. Like, would we?
  37. 1:16It's amazing to watch all these people,
  38. 1:17especially not for nothing, young black
  39. 1:19men all over my ex feed, post videos
  40. 1:22talking about how they've watched
  41. 1:25endless Charlie Kirk clips and they are
  42. 1:28now declaring themselves conservative
  43. 1:30and Republican. They've they've seen the
  44. 1:32truth. They're sick of the lying media
  45. 1:35and they they've watched clip after
  46. 1:36clip. And if you watch clip after clip
  47. 1:37of Charlie, you do get to know him. Some
  48. 1:39have pointed out he was slightly more
  49. 1:41costic on his radio show. I agree with
  50. 1:42that. That's fine. He he was more
  51. 1:44pointed on his radio show when he was
  52. 1:46just opining about issues of the day.
  53. 1:48But face to face with people who
  54. 1:50disagreed with him, he could not have
  55. 1:51been more respectful that are you are
  56. 1:53you that way? If if you have a
  57. 1:55disagreement with the other side and
  58. 1:56you're actually dealing with them face
  59. 1:57to face, yeah, you might be you might be
  60. 1:59conjure. You might like on a radio show,
  61. 2:01you might have said something a little
  62. 2:02bit more costic. Does that make you a
  63. 2:03bad person? No. You should be judged by
  64. 2:06how you treat the people when you're
  65. 2:07with them. And Charlie treated leftists
  66. 2:09who hated his guts with respect. And
  67. 2:12young men in particular, but also some
  68. 2:13women are seeing it. Leftists who are
  69. 2:16now declaring themselves conservative
  70. 2:17and on the right. I saw a graphic. It
  71. 2:20was like a cartoon on X yesterday and it
  72. 2:22showed like a fork in the road and one
  73. 2:24path leading to the right and one path
  74. 2:26leading to the left and on the left
  75. 2:29there was one body and over on the right
  76. 2:31it's like little cartoon and over on the
  77. 2:32right it was all filled with bodies
  78. 2:35people walking and it was basically
  79. 2:38saying the country after Charlie Kirk's
  80. 2:40assassination and I think that's exactly
  81. 2:42right. People are looking not only at
  82. 2:44the fact that
  83. 2:46he got killed by an obvious leftist,
  84. 2:49by the way, so says his own mom, okay?
  85. 2:52But the but the leftist reaction to it,
  86. 2:54the refusal to condemn it, to be honest
  87. 2:56about it. It's the it's the worst case
  88. 3:01of gaslighting
  89. 3:03we've seen in years. And that's saying
  90. 3:05something because we've been gas lit. I
  91. 3:06mean, CO was a massive gaslighting on
  92. 3:09many issues. That's just one off the top
  93. 3:12of my head. So
  94. 3:16that's why the media is squarely within
  95. 3:17my own crosshairs here. And hey, New
  96. 3:19York Times, you're paying attention. I
  97. 3:20don't mean gun sites. They sued. They
  98. 3:23tried to suggest Sarah Palin was
  99. 3:24responsible for Gabby Gford's shooting
  100. 3:26because she used the term crosshairs.
  101. 3:29I mean my focus because you are
  102. 3:33absolutely part of the problem and
  103. 3:34you're a big part of the problem. It's
  104. 3:36not trivial.
  105. 3:39So, what's happened over the past couple
  106. 3:41of days is the media has decided to make
  107. 3:43this all about them because that's what
  108. 3:45they do. I got a couple of examples.
  109. 3:48I'll go through them. I want to start
  110. 3:50with CNN's Ashley Allison. She's always
  111. 3:52out there saying inane things. Truly,
  112. 3:55she's constantly saying really stupid
  113. 3:57things. I don't know why CNN employs
  114. 3:58her. Well, actually, I think I do. Here
  115. 4:00she is. S 20.
  116. 4:02>> Things that Charlie Kirk said
  117. 4:04drastically offended me. I have yet to
  118. 4:07have actually one person ask me why if
  119. 4:10they agreed with those things. It is
  120. 4:12very clear that Charlie Kirk should not
  121. 4:13have been murdered. But why not have a
  122. 4:16conversation with me and say why why did
  123. 4:18that upset you and take the moment to
  124. 4:20listen and not have a comeback? And then
  125. 4:23I should ask the question about why did
  126. 4:26you really like the things that Charlie
  127. 4:27Kirk said.
  128. 4:30No one's asked about me. Me. Hold on.
  129. 4:36>> Me?
  130. 4:38>> Yeah, that's her. What about me? Why
  131. 4:41aren't you asking about me to figure out
  132. 4:43my Because no one gives a That's
  133. 4:45That's why. That's why I've posted
  134. 4:47quoted this woman a couple times now. I
  135. 4:49love her. We got to get a button for
  136. 4:50this lady. She's all over X. Maybe
  137. 4:52you've seen her. She's this fabulous
  138. 4:55black woman somewhere in her mid-50s
  139. 4:58because she's like, she always described
  140. 4:59herself as menopausal. And uh she
  141. 5:02started the we do not care club. She's
  142. 5:04got like a highlighter in her hair.
  143. 5:06She's got a notebook that's like she's
  144. 5:07constantly flipping pages in and like
  145. 5:10doing her highlighting on it. She goes
  146. 5:12to the we do not care club and uh you
  147. 5:15know she says like we do not care that
  148. 5:19you're cold like we we're sweating and
  149. 5:23you're going to have to suffer. Whatever
  150. 5:24it is. We do not care that the laundry
  151. 5:26is sitting on the couch unfolded. Like
  152. 5:28too bad. Deal with it. We have other
  153. 5:29things to do. She She's hilarious. And I
  154. 5:32have news for Ashley. We do not care.
  155. 5:34That is why we're not asking you why you
  156. 5:38you didn't like Charlie. How you've been
  157. 5:41affected by Charlie's assassination.
  158. 5:44Things that Charlie Kirk said
  159. 5:46drastically offended me. I have yet to
  160. 5:48have actually one person ask me why. We
  161. 5:51do not care. Okay.
  162. 5:54Then there's Karen Aia. We talked about
  163. 5:57her a week ago. She wrote for the
  164. 5:59Washington Post. She was a columnist
  165. 6:02there and for the New York Times before
  166. 6:03that. She is the one who like literally
  167. 6:06it was either either on 107 or on 108
  168. 6:09tweeted out or retweeted or liked liked
  169. 6:11a tweet that read this is what
  170. 6:13decolonization looks like.
  171. 6:16We had 1,200 dead Israelis. We have we
  172. 6:18had elderly people dead. We had babies
  173. 6:20and children dead and and taken hostage.
  174. 6:22We had young women raped and taken
  175. 6:24hostage. And she said, "I like that
  176. 6:27tweet. this is what decolonization looks
  177. 6:29like. And the Washington Post kept
  178. 6:31employing her.
  179. 6:35It's the left, it's her side that
  180. 6:37constantly uses that term dehumanize,
  181. 6:40dehumanization. You've dehumanized me. I
  182. 6:44like,
  183. 6:47do you remember that one time back on
  184. 6:48Fox when I said Santa's white? I
  185. 6:51actually had some young black woman come
  186. 6:52up to me and say, I felt dehumanized.
  187. 6:54Madam, that's your problem, not mine. If
  188. 6:57you can let some random comment about
  189. 6:58Santa by a Fox News anchor make you feel
  190. 7:01less than human, that's a you problem.
  191. 7:03And honestly, like that side that's so
  192. 7:06worried about dehumanization had no
  193. 7:08problem with Karen Atia, the Washington
  194. 7:10Post columnist, looking at dead babies
  195. 7:12and saying, "This is what decolonization
  196. 7:14looks like." Yeah, right on. They did
  197. 7:15not fire her. She kept her job. But she
  198. 7:18lost it in the wake of Charlie's
  199. 7:20assassination
  200. 7:22because she got, excuse me, she got out
  201. 7:24there and she tweeted a couple things uh
  202. 7:28posted on Blue Sky. What am I saying?
  203. 7:29She wouldn't tweet any anything. Excuse
  204. 7:31me. Because she's not on X anymore.
  205. 7:33Here's what she said. Uh, refusing to
  206. 7:35tear my clothes and smear ashes in my
  207. 7:37face on my face in performative mourning
  208. 7:40for a white man that espoused violence
  209. 7:43is not the same as violence. And then
  210. 7:46she tweeted, "Part of what keeps America
  211. 7:47so violent is the insistence that people
  212. 7:50perform care, empty goodness, and
  213. 7:53absolution for white men who espouse
  214. 7:55hatred and violence." She's pissed
  215. 7:58because she felt like people were
  216. 8:00insisting that she act like she cared
  217. 8:03about a white man who espoused hatred
  218. 8:05and violence who got murdered on camera
  219. 8:09in front of her eyes. There is a level
  220. 8:11of inhumity in this person that should
  221. 8:13be totally intolerable for any employer,
  222. 8:15not just the Washington Post. Who the
  223. 8:16hell would want to what if you're a
  224. 8:18white man at the Washington Post? And by
  225. 8:20the way, it's owned by a white man. Why
  226. 8:21would you sit next to that? She's a
  227. 8:23lunatic. No one should employ her. Who
  228. 8:26would why would you? Like maybe um the
  229. 8:29UN will hire Karen Aia. That that seems
  230. 8:32like a good place for her to land. But
  231. 8:34this is insane, this person. So she goes
  232. 8:37on with Jim Acasta and gives an
  233. 8:40interview and listen to what's on her
  234. 8:43mind about the whole thing. Stop 21.
  235. 8:45>> And I just wonder if you could lay out
  236. 8:48your thoughts on where you are right now
  237. 8:50and maybe explain a little bit what what
  238. 8:53happened because you were pushed out
  239. 8:54essentially for what you said about
  240. 8:56Charlie Kirk.
  241. 8:58>> Yeah. And and well, thank you so much.
  242. 9:00You actually I think you were actually
  243. 9:02the first one to reach out. It's uh
  244. 9:05>> Oh, wow.
  245. 9:06>> It actually
  246. 9:08um I'm still processing, but it's
  247. 9:10actually been
  248. 9:12>> I have not been able to land a
  249. 9:15one-on-one on a major network.
  250. 9:18>> No.
  251. 9:19>> Um I've You're the first Substock one.
  252. 9:23Um I went on with Don Lemon. Um you guys
  253. 9:26have been the only ones seemingly brave
  254. 9:28enough
  255. 9:30>> to have me on. So I I I also just want
  256. 9:33to say thank you. You don't you have no
  257. 9:36idea how much this means to me and
  258. 9:38>> like I think it's just sadly a sign of
  259. 9:41the times for mainstream media not just
  260. 9:44in this moment and the culture of fear I
  261. 9:46think but also
  262. 9:48>> yes
  263. 9:48>> where uh where the truth tellers are
  264. 9:51finding themselves having to go.
  265. 9:57>> Okay, my head is hurting. He's the only
  266. 10:00one brave enough to put I I I h I have
  267. 10:02the answer that you're looking for,
  268. 10:03Karen. The reason no one has asked you
  269. 10:05for an interview is because really no
  270. 10:07one gives a about your story.
  271. 10:09Literally, the only reason I raised your
  272. 10:11story is because I outed you for liking
  273. 10:14that tweet right after 107. So, you've
  274. 10:16become a bit of a storyline on this show
  275. 10:18for your inhumity. And this is just more
  276. 10:21proof of it. That's why you're here. The
  277. 10:23reason only Jim Aosta and Don Lemon will
  278. 10:26talk to you is because you're a nobody.
  279. 10:29No one knows who you are. You behaved
  280. 10:31like a terrible person and finally it
  281. 10:34caught up with you and we're thrilled.
  282. 10:35It's justice and even your mainstream
  283. 10:38media colleagues have absolutely no time
  284. 10:41for your terrible behavior. That's how
  285. 10:44irrelevant you've rendered yourself. So,
  286. 10:46congrats. Good luck in obscurity. Hope
  287. 10:49you enjoy Substack.
