Hello fellow rebel capitalists. Very sad day today in America. I was just on a doing an interview my good friend Robert Helms for the Real Estate Guys and this was about 3:00 my time, so probably 4:00 Eastern time. And before we did the interview, he informed me that Charlie Kirk had been shot. And I guess his uh wife called him crying. And um you know, not that they're huge, you know, Charlie Kirk fans or anything, but they're you know, they they they follow they followed him as an influencer. And um he didn't know why she was crying and then she told him what had happened. And at that point in time, uh, Robert told me that the latest news was he was rushed to the hospital, shot in the neck, and that he was in critical but stable condition. And so, obviously, I was like, well, that's I mean, it's horrible that uh he was shot. But fortunately um you know fortunately at that point in time it looked like he was going to be okay. And uh then we got done with the interview about an hour later and I I went to Twitter to try to get the re a recent update on it. And I at that time it was uh kind of the same we were in the same position or the nothing had nothing new had transpired. And then about 5 minutes later or so I was scrolling through and I saw that it had been confirmed that he had passed away. And um yeah, you just other than just saying that your thoughts and prayers go out to the family, what do you say? And it it took me back to the conversation I was having with Robert Helms prior to knowing that Charlie had been fatally shot. And we were just going back and forth about how this is it's just getting crazy. Like this is crazy. Like for all you young people that are going to watch this video or on the live stream right now that this stuff didn't happen when I was growing up. Now, were there people that would get shot? Absolutely. Yeah. And uh you know, Kennedy was killed and we had assassinations. But today in the United States there there's so much more of these shootings that are inexplicable and and a result of like a mass formation psychosis as opposed to as an example about two months ago here in Colombia A politician was unfortunately fatally shot and not as horrific, but you understood the motive because he was very anti-far and you don't want to mess around with the FARC. And so, you know, as it turned out, I mean, I don't know all the details, but it looks like they sent a kid to, you know, to to try to finish him off because they didn't like his political position. But but what but but that was reality. It was reality that that politician had a certain political position and the FARC people that shot him had no misunderstanding. They weren't disillusioned. They they they they had a correct view of what the politicians um what his ideas were. It seems to me, and again, I I've I'm not an expert on this, but I I'm just in a state of shock, as I think a lot of you are. So, I I was thinking to myself, well, I could just go for a walk, which I'm going to do later, and just try to collect my thoughts, or I can go live and talk about this with the Rebel Capitalist Pro or the Rebel Capitalist community, and maybe by me thinking out loud, it can do some good. So, that's why I came on. But getting back to the point, it seems with so many of these shootings that they're there I don't irrational isn't the right word because any shooting is is irrational. I guess what I'm trying to say is is they're not based in reality. So the the politician that got shot here in Colombia, at least the reason he got shot was based in reality. Not again, I'm not not that it's a good I mean every murder is a murder and it is equally bad. But the reason he was shot was based in reality. My guess, and I don't know all the details, but my guess is the reason Charlie Kirk was shot had nothing to do with reality. My my guess is if they catch the guy or gal who did it, I'm sure they will. My guess is that the motivation was that he was I can't say it on YouTube, but he was similar to the party that ruled Germany in the 1930s, right? or he was the equivalent of the person that ruled over Germany in the 1930s and the early 1940s. Like no matter what youth your view was of Charlie Kirk, that's not reality. Like you've got a screw loose to say the least. Like that's insane. That that is just as insane as the mass formation psychosis that we saw during the surveys sickness. I mean, you guys know from watching my videos, I I voted for Trump, but I am very critical of Trump. I'm critical of the tariffs. I'm critical of him starting a a shitcoin. I'm critical of a lot of the things he does. I mean, he's a megalomaniac for sure, but I I'm I'm not going to sit here and say that that he's one of the Germans in 1930 or he's the guy that ran Germany in the 30s. That's insane. That is insane. And if I'm trying to make sense of any of this, and again, we'll have to see that the details that that come out, but I would assume this person who did this heinous, despicable, disgusting act in their mind. They thought that they were doing a service to society because they were killing effectively the the guy that ran Germany in the 1930s. So, so then I guess the question becomes, how on earth did we get here? like how did we get here? Like when I was growing up, the first politician I really remember was Ronald Reagan. And even though he was shot I I I I don't remember anybody at any point in time accusing him of being a reincarnation of the guy that ran Germany in the 1930s. like that that like no one in their right mind would have said that. And you wouldn't have said it about Jimmy Carter. You wouldn't have said it about I I remember the first um with Reagan, the guy he was going up against. I don't really remember anything him going against Carter, but I I do remember him going up against I believe it was Walter Montdale. Does that sound right? Maybe some of you that are a little older than I am can confirm that. I think it was Walter Montdale. I remember Walter Manddale. But if if you look at the debates between I'm almost positive it was Montdale and Reagan, they're they're not accusing each other of being the Antichrist. They're they're not accusing each other of being some I don't even know what the word is. They're they're not accusing each other of being a mass or or having the potential to be like a mass murderer or having the potential to to be some sort of not just a dictator. but someone who is truly evil at their core. And I apologize, guys, but you're going to have to excuse me one moment. My computer's about ready to shut off. I got to plug it in. I'll be right back. Okay, sorry about that. Bad timing there for sure. The point I was trying to make is it was never like this back when I was growing up or the 80 even into the '9s. I mean, I I I completely remember uh Bush and uh and uh Clinton and Ross Perau and then of course Bush Jr. But but it was it was never there there were accusations, there was mudslinging, there was all all all these things back then, but but it wasn't accusing someone of being a sociopathic mass murderer. And today it seems like that has all changed. And when you have these people in society that are mentally removed from reality, that are impressionable, let's say. They they they buy into this narrative and then they take that to the next level where it it's like if I gave you a time machine and and a gun and you you would you go back in time and would you would you shoot the guy that um you know in the 1920s before he took over Germany in the 1930s, would you do that? A lot of people would say yes. But that that's my my guess is that's the level of psychosis that we are dealing with right now in the United States politics that the the mainstream media the you know I I hate to single out the left because as you guys know I'm very critical of both parties But there's a big difference between saying the president is an idiot or isn't mentally fit for the job and saying that he is the reincarnation of the guy that ran Germany and that if we don't stop him. He is going to put 5 million people in concentration camps and execute them. There's a big difference between those two. I would argue that the one is just simple reality. This guy is mentally unfit. I'm not talking about Trump. I'm talking about Biden. Right? If you would have said that Biden was mentally unfit for the gig, there's not psychosis around that. In fact, the mainstream media and pretty much every single one of his supporters actually admitted that when they brought in Camala Harris. So, I mean, I think there's so many variables here that you can't just pinpoint one or two because although it is true that the mainstream media is partially to blame because they've they use this it's not even hyperbole. I it's it's an exaggeration to an insane level. And those people in society that are susceptible to this insanity, you know, buy it, hook, line, and sinker. they're impressionable and then they act on it. And whether it's someone going into a a a church or a school and, you know, shooting up the place or, you know, fatally shooting Charlie Kirk or trying to shoot Trump or there's something unique that's happening in the United States right now that is leading to these these these shootings. And I think it's imperative that we as Americans try to figure out what that is and stop it as as soon as possible. Like where are we going with this? Right? Like what's our endgame here? What what's the endgame? that anyone that has a political opinion that slightly diverges from what is acceptable on the hardcore left has to just travel around in and in and bulletproof vehicles and and has to have barb wire around their home. I I I mean this this is where we're going. And I mean now think about if you're like Tim P right now and and I don't really I I didn't know Charlie and I'd never really listened to him. I just heard he he was kind of a conservative guy and he would do these college tour things. I just thought maybe like Ben Shapiro used to do. But from everything I've heard, he's you know, you might not agree with him, but it's not like he was bombastic. It's It's not like he was over the top. It's not like he was just screaming and yelling. It It seemed like, you know, he's at least trying to have a dialogue with people and and win the I don't want to say war, but win the the the battle of ideas. I mean, obviously it goes without saying, but you you you don't win by shooting someone or committing an act of violence. That's not that's not a civil society. But you you you win by making a better argument than the person. And and by the way, how do you win and make a better argument if you don't let that person speak to begin with? Like no matter how bad their ideas are, if you don't let them speak, if if if that's you know your solution that we need to protect society from these dangerous ideas, no, you're the bad guy. You're the bad guy. I I mean we we have to ask ourselves, you know, go back in history and and say when when were the good guys in favor of censorship? When were the good guys in favor of killing people that had a different viewpoint? I don't I don't remember at any point in time when those people were the good guys. I I think those people are pretty much always the bad guys. But we we've got a real problem in the United States. This is not normal. I think this is one of the points I'm trying to make for the younger people. on this video. Like many of you might not have traveled, um I've had the wonderful opportunity to go to 50 plus countries in my life and I've spent a lot of time outside the United States. And although you you you do see shootings and whatnot, you you don't see a guy just going into a church or a school with a machine gun or whatever and and killing 30, 40, 50 people. Like that's not a thing. That that's something that's almost exclusively American. As hard as that is for me to say, I mean, you don't have people here in Colombia, Medí, which ironically is perceived as a very dangerous place. You don't have people here that are just gunned down and they're not even a politician. They're just gunned down because they're a social media influencer doing a a a university tour. What is the what what is that? Like you don't pick up the morning paper in Medí and see that some crazy person went down to the local mall with a shotgun and started open firing on children. So the point I think first and foremost is to acknowledge the fact that we've got a problem in the United States. There is a severe severe problem and if this problem is not addressed and if it's just kind of swept under the rug, this doesn't end well. This will only escalate and get worse. And right now the you know pretty much this is exclusively something on the left. But how long does that last? Like like look I mean how long I mean there's crazy people on the right as well. I mean the the the left they don't have a monopoly on crazies. There's crazy people on the right. But it it's it's not the completely detached from reality type of crazy to to where and ironically enough, you know, supposedly the people on the right are the ones with all the guns, but I I I don't see them going down and and and shooting, you know, um the I'm trying to think of the gal on MSNBC. um Rachel Matto. You don't see the people on the right just gunning down Rachel Matto. I mean and and and but the point there is look at at some point in time if if this continues to where every single time we have a a Republican president they get shot and we start seeing more of these conservative for heaven's sakes and Kirk wasn't even a politician. He's a kid like 31 years old. He's for heaven's sakes, he's a social media influencer. But if you see more and more of these people that are gunned down at a certain point, there's going to be people on the right that are like, "F it. We we we got to protect ourselves. We got to we got to shoot back. And where do you go from there? I'll tell you exactly where you go from there. The Middle East. That's where you go from there. Where it It's basically the Hatfields and the McCoys. I mean, I don't think it's ridiculous to say that there's a far above zero probability that if this insanity doesn't end, it it could quite literally lead to a civil war or or or effectively, I mean, maybe the the the states aren't at war using violence But the two political parties are so you you have a civil war where there's guns and possibly worse not between you know the state the state of whatever Texas and the state of Virginia, but just the people within the state on the red team and the blue team. I I mean, again, I I don't have any I'm just I'm in a state of shock. I I'm completely in a state of shock. And you know, I should have said right from the beginning, and I I sincerely apologize that obviously my thoughts and prayers go out to Charlie's family. I mean, that's the that's the number one thing here. Um, I I guess that just it doesn't go without saying, but but hopefully um you know that's what we're all that's what we're all doing right here because you know nobody's going to bring Charlie back unfortunately. Um, so the only thing that we can do is hopefully um do our small part in helping his family get through what is obviously an incredibly difficult time. But you you know moving forward getting back to how you address this problem. I I do think the mainstream media bears a lot of the responsibility for Trump and what happened to Charlie Kirk. I mean, I was listening to a little blurb from I think it was MSNBC where the guy and and it's it's I mean, he should be embarrassed. He should be he should not only be embarrassed, but he should be disgusted with his words and what he said. But he actually had the audacity to say that the the shooting could have just been a result of a Charlie Kirk supporter that was just firing his gun off in in Jubilee and just didn't realize that he just happened to have it pointed directly at his neck. I mean I I mean that that's that's sick. Like like if you say that you you you're you're sick in the head. Like you you've got real problems. So I think it it it starts with the mainstream media that that they I mean would even take that position is is it is evil. I mean that that's really the only word that I can think of. It's it's evil. It's disgusting. It's it's sickening. It's um it has no place in civil society at all. But I don't think it ends. I I don't think if you just fix the mainstream media, you you you fix the problem because I think it's much deeper than that. I I think it I think it has a lot to do with Americans just not really having a purpose. And I think a lot of it has to do with abandoning the church and abandoning the nuclear family because regardless of whether or not you're a Christian or what whatever your belief is, or an atheist, anything like that, you have to admit that human beings have a need for a higher purpose. And if you eliminate the church, if you eliminate religion from everyday life, people are going to find what is effectively religion somewhere else. And one of the great things about Christianity uh above and beyond you know that's my belief system as most of you know but even if you're an atheist you have to admit one of the great things about Christianity and its prevalence in a society is that it teaches people that basic stuff like do unto others as you would do to yourself. Um, don't shoot people. Just some some some very straightforward things that may sound simple, but are very important to providing a rudder for society. And if you take away the church, if you take away religion, if you take away God, if you take away that higher purpose, you take away the rudder. And when you don't have that rudder, it seems like people will always have that hard wiring. they'll have that internal need to seek out that tribe, to seek out that that that higher purpose. And unfortunately, I I think what we've done in the United States is we've replaced God and religion with politics. In addition to that, we've replaced the family with the state. So I I mean, how many of these shooters, and you guys might know this better than I do, but how many of these shooters are women? Not just men posing as women, but women. How many are men? I I understand that men have a a higher predisposition towards uh violence, but also I know that if you're a young male and you don't have a male role model in your life, the chances of you going off the deep and are much higher. Now, I'm no psychologist. I'm just telling you from just using common sense and personal experience. If you don't have that solid male role model in the life of a of a young male, especially as the, you know, pre-teen uh teenage years, there there's a much higher probability that they, let's just say, take the wrong path in life. And what we've done is not only taken God and the church and religion out of the equation to where society is seeking something else and that something else is is is is another is is mankind, right? In other words, is is far from perfect, right? And a lot of times that what you seek out, what you fill the void with can not only be an imperfect human being, but it can be a psychopath or a psycho, a psychotic media, a psychotic political party, but then you combine that with I don't know, I mean, how many young males are are growing up in a broken home with single moms. And it's not to knock on single moms. I mean, they're doing the best they can. But no matter how great a single mom is, she's never going to be a dad. It ain't going to happen. Like, she's never going to be a a a a positive male role model in that young male's life. And you think about all the single moms out there and then the kid goes to school and who are all the teachers? Well, they're all women as well. Again, this is not knocking teachers, but no matter how fantastic a teacher you are, if you are a female, again, you're you're never going to be a male positive male role model for that kid. I could be crazy. I have no expertise in this area. I'm not a psychologist. I'm just thinking out loud and I'm just giving you my impression as to what has happened in the United States and possibly some of the reasons why. And I think moving forward, if we want to avoid civil war, and I know that sounds hyperbolic, but I actually I don't I don't think it is. If we want to avoid, or at the very least, if we want to avoid just more innocent people being shot, then we have to start thinking about this stuff. We have to start debating this stuff. And as a society with our thought leaders, we we have to start getting to the bottom of this and and taking action to reverse course because no matter what your political affiliation or your political beliefs, civil war doesn't benefit anybody. I mean that that's not a that's not a W for the Democrats. Like civil war like like Rachel Matto doesn't win. Like that's not a W for Camala Harris. Like that's a that's an L for America. No matter who wins, that's an L. That that that's that's cat and obviously I'm just wildly understating that because I'm at a loss of words. That that's catastrophic for America. I don't care what team you're on. So, I think it's paramount that we first and foremost, whether you're on team blue or team red, acknowledge there's a problem and acknowledge that our interests as Americans are aligned. Whether it seems like it now or not, our interests as American Democrats, our interests as American Republicans are aligned from the standpoint of we all will benefit with less violence and more freedom of speech and more of an emphasis on reality and far less of an emphasis on narrative. So those are my thoughts and again the the main thing I want to emphasize is what a tragedy this is and what a very sad day this is for all Americans and My thoughts and prayers go out to Charlie's family, but hopefully his his passing will not go in vain. I mean, hopefully this will be a real wakeup call to all Americans and to the mainstream media and and hopefully this will open up people's eyes and help them realize that, hey, maybe Maybe it's not a good idea for my religion to be politics. May maybe it's not a good idea for my religion to be Republican and and my God is Donald Trump and maybe it's not a good idea for my religion to be the church of Democrats and my God or savior is just, you know, Gavin Newsome or or whatever. Back in the when I was growing up, everybody understood that. Everybody understood that politics was secondary to church, religion, family. your friends, your community. And I think at the end of the day, that's maybe the answer that that we've got to go back to the priorities being the church, the family, the friends, the community. And we've got to just get rid of this political tribalism and realize that at the end of the day that this is politics. It's not life or death. Like like it ain't right. No matter how bad Biden is or how bad Camala would have been or how bad you think Trump is, it it it's it's not life or death. We're going to have a new guy or a new gal in four years, right? This is what we're dealing with is not Germany in the 1930s. If you think that, you are delusional and you need to recognize that you're delusional. So, those are my thoughts. You can disagree, you can agree. Um, tomorrow's a new day. Like I said, hopefully you know, the the tragic tragic passing of of Charlie Kirk will not go in vain and it will u wake up the American people and get them to recognize that they are on a very very slippery slope and unless something happens quickly um this this This This does not end well. Doesn't end well. All right, guys. As always, just make sure you're standing up for freedom, liberty, free market, capitalism, freedom of speech. Make sure you're saying a prayer for uh for Charlie's family. And we'll see you on the next video.

They they they buy into this narrative and then they take that to the next level where it it's like if I gave you a time machine and and a gun and you you would you go back in time and would you would you shoot the guy that um you know in the 1920s before he took over Germany in the 1930s, would you do that? A lot of people would say yes. But that that's my my guess is that's the level of psychosis that we are dealing with right now in the United States politics that the the mainstream media the you know I I hate to single out the left because as you guys know I'm very critical of both parties But there's a big difference between saying the president is an idiot or isn't mentally fit for the job and saying that he is the reincarnation of the guy that ran Germany and that if we don't stop him. He is going to put 5 million people in concentration camps and execute them. There's a big difference between those two. I would argue that the one is just simple reality. This guy is mentally unfit. I'm not talking about Trump. I'm talking about Biden. Right? If you would have said that Biden was mentally unfit for the gig, there's not psychosis around that. In fact, the mainstream media and pretty much every single one of his supporters actually admitted that when they brought in Camala Harris. So, I mean, I think there's so many variables here that you can't just pinpoint one or two because although it is true that the mainstream media is partially to blame because they've they use this it's not even hyperbole. I it's it's an exaggeration to an insane level. And those people in society that are susceptible to this insanity, you know, buy it, hook, line, and sinker. they're impressionable and then they act on it. And whether it's someone going into a a a church or a school and, you know, shooting up the place or, you know, fatally shooting Charlie Kirk or trying to shoot Trump or there's something unique that's happening in the United States right now that is leading to these these these shootings. And I think it's imperative that we as Americans try to figure out what that is and stop it as as soon as possible. Like where are we going with this? Right? Like what's our endgame here? What what's the endgame? that anyone that has a political opinion that slightly diverges from what is acceptable on the hardcore left has to just travel around in and in and bulletproof vehicles and and has to have barb wire around their home. I I I mean this this is where we're going. And I mean now think about if you're like Tim P right now and and I don't really I I didn't know Charlie and I'd never really listened to him. I just heard he he was kind of a conservative guy and he would do these college tour things. I just thought maybe like Ben Shapiro used to do. But from everything I've heard, he's you know, you might not agree with him, but it's not like he was bombastic. It's It's not like he was over the top. It's not like he was just screaming and yelling. It It seemed like, you know, he's at least trying to have a dialogue with people and and win the I don't want to say war, but win the the the battle of ideas. I mean, obviously it goes without saying, but you you you don't win by shooting someone or committing an act of violence. That's not that's not a civil society. But you you you win by making a better argument than the person. And and by the way, how do you win and make a better argument if you don't let that person speak to begin with? Like no matter how bad their ideas are, if you don't let them speak, if if if that's you know your solution that we need to protect society from these dangerous ideas, no, you're the bad guy. You're the bad guy. I I mean we we have to ask ourselves, you know, go back in history and and say when when were the good guys in favor of censorship? When were the good guys in favor of killing people that had a different viewpoint? I don't I don't remember at any point in time when those people were the good guys. I I think those people are pretty much always the bad guys. But we we've got a real problem in the United States. This is not normal. I think this is one of the points I'm trying to make for the younger people. on this video. Like many of you might not have traveled, um I've had the wonderful opportunity to go to 50 plus countries in my life and I've spent a lot of time outside the United States. And although you you you do see shootings and whatnot, you you don't see a guy just going into a church or a school with a machine gun or whatever and and killing 30, 40, 50 people. Like that's not a thing. That that's something that's almost exclusively American. As hard as that is for me to say, I mean, you don't have people here in Colombia, Medí, which ironically is perceived as a very dangerous place. You don't have people here that are just gunned down and they're not even a politician. They're just gunned down because they're a social media influencer doing a a a university tour. What is the what what is that? Like you don't pick up the morning paper in Medí and see that some crazy person went down to the local mall with a shotgun and started open firing on children. So the point I think first and foremost is to acknowledge the fact that we've got a problem in the United States. There is a severe severe problem and if this problem is not addressed and if it's just kind of swept under the rug, this doesn't end well. This will only escalate and get worse. And right now the you know pretty much this is exclusively something on the left. But how long does that last? Like like look I mean how long I mean there's crazy people on the right as well. I mean the the the left they don't have a monopoly on crazies. There's crazy people on the right. But it it's it's not the completely detached from reality type of crazy to to where and ironically enough, you know, supposedly the people on the right are the ones with all the guns, but I I I don't see them going down and and and shooting, you know, um the I'm trying to think of the gal on MSNBC. um Rachel Matto. You don't see the people on the right just gunning down Rachel Matto. I mean and and and but the point there is look at at some point in time if if this continues to where every single time we have a a Republican president they get shot and we start seeing more of these conservative for heaven's sakes and Kirk wasn't even a politician. He's a kid like 31 years old. He's for heaven's sakes, he's a social media influencer. But if you see more and more of these people that are gunned down at a certain point, there's going to be people on the right that are like, "F it. We we we got to protect ourselves. We got to we got to shoot back. And where do you go from there? I'll tell you exactly where you go from there. The Middle East. That's where you go from there. Where it It's basically the Hatfields and the McCoys. I mean, I don't think it's ridiculous to say that there's a far above zero probability that if this insanity doesn't end, it it could quite literally lead to a civil war or or or effectively, I mean, maybe the the the states aren't at war using violence But the two political parties are so you you have a civil war where there's guns and possibly worse not between you know the state the state of whatever Texas and the state of Virginia, but just the people within the state on the red team and the blue team. I I mean, again, I I don't have any I'm just I'm in a state of shock. I I'm completely in a state of shock. And you know, I should have said right from the beginning, and I I sincerely apologize that obviously my thoughts and prayers go out to Charlie's family. I mean, that's the that's the number one thing here. Um, I I guess that just it doesn't go without saying, but but hopefully um you know that's what we're all that's what we're all doing right here because you know nobody's going to bring Charlie back unfortunately. Um, so the only thing that we can do is hopefully um do our small part in helping his family get through what is obviously an incredibly difficult time. But you you know moving forward getting back to how you address this problem. I I do think the mainstream media bears a lot of the responsibility for Trump and what happened to Charlie Kirk. I mean, I was listening to a little blurb from I think it was MSNBC where the guy and and it's it's I mean, he should be embarrassed. He should be he should not only be embarrassed, but he should be disgusted with his words and what he said. But he actually had the audacity to say that the the shooting could have just been a result of a Charlie Kirk supporter that was just firing his gun off in in Jubilee and just didn't realize that he just happened to have it pointed directly at his neck. I mean I I mean that that's that's sick. Like like if you say that you you you're you're sick in the head. Like you you've got real problems. So I think it it it starts with the mainstream media that that they I mean would even take that position is is it is evil. I mean that that's really the only word that I can think of. It's it's evil. It's disgusting. It's it's sickening. It's um it has no place in civil society at all. But I don't think it ends. I I don't think if you just fix the mainstream media, you you you fix the problem because I think it's much deeper than that. I I think it I think it has a lot to do with Americans just not really having a purpose. And I think a lot of it has to do with abandoning the church and abandoning the nuclear family because regardless of whether or not you're a Christian or what whatever your belief is, or an atheist, anything like that, you have to admit that human beings have a need for a higher purpose. And if you eliminate the church, if you eliminate religion from everyday life, people are going to find what is effectively religion somewhere else. And one of the great things about Christianity uh above and beyond you know that's my belief system as most of you know but even if you're an atheist you have to admit one of the great things about Christianity and its prevalence in a society is that it teaches people that basic stuff like do unto others as you would do to yourself. Um, don't shoot people. Just some some some very straightforward things that may sound simple, but are very important to providing a rudder for society. And if you take away the church, if you take away religion, if you take away God, if you take away that higher purpose, you take away the rudder. And when you don't have that rudder, it seems like people will always have that hard wiring. they'll have that internal need to seek out that tribe, to seek out that that that higher purpose. And unfortunately, I I think what we've done in the United States is we've replaced God and religion with politics. In addition to that, we've replaced the family with the state. So I I mean, how many of these shooters, and you guys might know this better than I do, but how many of these shooters are women? Not just men posing as women, but women. How many are men? I I understand that men have a a higher predisposition towards uh violence, but also I know that if you're a young male and you don't have a male role model in your life, the chances of you going off the deep and are much higher. Now, I'm no psychologist. I'm just telling you from just using common sense and personal experience. If you don't have that solid male role model in the life of a of a young male, especially as the, you know, pre-teen uh teenage years, there there's a much higher probability that they, let's just say, take the wrong path in life. And what we've done is not only taken God and the church and religion out of the equation to where society is seeking something else and that something else is is is is another is is mankind, right? In other words, is is far from perfect, right? And a lot of times that what you seek out, what you fill the void with can not only be an imperfect human being, but it can be a psychopath or a psycho, a psychotic media, a psychotic political party, but then you combine that with I don't know, I mean, how many young males are are growing up in a broken home with single moms. And it's not to knock on single moms. I mean, they're doing the best they can. But no matter how great a single mom is, she's never going to be a dad. It ain't going to happen. Like, she's never going to be a a a a positive male role model in that young male's life. And you think about all the single moms out there and then the kid goes to school and who are all the teachers? Well, they're all women as well. Again, this is not knocking teachers, but no matter how fantastic a teacher you are, if you are a female, again, you're you're never going to be a male positive male role model for that kid. I could be crazy. I have no expertise in this area. I'm not a psychologist. I'm just thinking out loud and I'm just giving you my impression as to what has happened in the United States and possibly some of the reasons why. And I think moving forward, if we want to avoid civil war, and I know that sounds hyperbolic, but I actually I don't I don't think it is. If we want to avoid, or at the very least, if we want to avoid just more innocent people being shot, then we have to start thinking about this stuff. We have to start debating this stuff. And as a society with our thought leaders, we we have to start getting to the bottom of this and and taking action to reverse course because no matter what your political affiliation or your political beliefs, civil war doesn't benefit anybody. I mean that that's not a that's not a W for the Democrats. Like civil war like like Rachel Matto doesn't win. Like that's not a W for Camala Harris. Like that's a that's an L for America. No matter who wins, that's an L. That that that's that's cat and obviously I'm just wildly understating that because I'm at a loss of words. That that's catastrophic for America. I don't care what team you're on. So, I think it's paramount that we first and foremost, whether you're on team blue or team red, acknowledge there's a problem and acknowledge that our interests as Americans are aligned. Whether it seems like it now or not, our interests as American Democrats, our interests as American Republicans are aligned from the standpoint of we all will benefit with less violence and more freedom of speech and more of an emphasis on reality and far less of an emphasis on narrative. So those are my thoughts and again the the main thing I want to emphasize is what a tragedy this is and what a very sad day this is for all Americans and My thoughts and prayers go out to Charlie's family, but hopefully his his passing will not go in vain. I mean, hopefully this will be a real wakeup call to all Americans and to the mainstream media and and hopefully this will open up people's eyes and help them realize that, hey, maybe Maybe it's not a good idea for my religion to be politics. May maybe it's not a good idea for my religion to be Republican and and my God is Donald Trump and maybe it's not a good idea for my religion to be the church of Democrats and my God or savior is just, you know, Gavin Newsome or or whatever. Back in the when I was growing up, everybody understood that. Everybody understood that politics was secondary to church, religion, family. your friends, your community. And I think at the end of the day, that's maybe the answer that that we've got to go back to the priorities being the church, the family, the friends, the community. And we've got to just get rid of this political tribalism and realize that at the end of the day that this is politics. It's not life or death. Like like it ain't right. No matter how bad Biden is or how bad Camala would have been or how bad you think Trump is, it it it's it's not life or death. We're going to have a new guy or a new gal in four years, right? This is what we're dealing with is not Germany in the 1930s. If you think that, you are delusional and you need to recognize that you're delusional. So, those are my thoughts. You can disagree, you can agree. Um, tomorrow's a new day. Like I said, hopefully you know, the the tragic tragic passing of of Charlie Kirk will not go in vain and it will u wake up the American people and get them to recognize that they are on a very very slippery slope and unless something happens quickly um this this This This does not end well. Doesn't end well. All right, guys. As always, just make sure you're standing up for freedom, liberty, free market, capitalism, freedom of speech. Make sure you're saying a prayer for uh for Charlie's family. And we'll see you on the next video.
