Hi everybody. Today's Monday, September 22nd, 2025, and our friend Larry Johnson
is back with us. Welcome back, Larry. You did. You haven't kicked me out of the house yet, huh? Not trying to
dispossess me, but nice shirt. You're doing nice shirt.
You too. Yeah. I gota tell gota tell Professor Miranda he's got to step his game up. You know, he he made some crack on one
of your recent conversations with him. He's a good man, but he needs to get a shirt.
Yeah, exactly. Please subscribe and hit like button to
help us reaching more people. And Larry, let's start with the case of Charlie
Kirk. And he here is what Fox News told us about the rifle, the type of rifle
being used in the assassination. We get the latest details about that
weapon, but investigators had already told us one thing that we knew a few days ago was that they found the rifle
out wrapped in a towel right near the shooting scene. So, they had it, but what we didn't know was exactly how old
it was. is. And it's important to point that out because police say the suspect might have chosen that gun because it was pretty much untraceable. I want to
show it to you on your screen for people watching at home. This is what that weapon looked like according to authorities. It's a Mouser model vintage
rifle that investigators say is so old they didn't even have a serial number on it, so they wouldn't have been able to
track it down. This is the weapon that police say Tyler Robinson used to assassinate Charlie Kirk that day. It
dated back several decades. is the gunman calling it grandpa's rifle tech text texting rather his transgender
partner after the killing saying this. I want to pull up these text messages cuz this whole thing had come to light too the other day. I'm worried what my old
man would do if I don't bring back grandpa's rifle. I don't know if it has a serial number on it but it wouldn't trace to me. I'm worried about
handprints. I had to leave it in a bush though where I changed outfits. I didn't have the ability or time to take it
with. And then he actually kind of stayed around the area, we're told, to see if he had the time to get it and
take it to his car. Court documents say the Utah State Bureau of Investigations, who's working this case, found DNA from
the murder weapon that they believe is consistent with Tyler Robinson. Police say Robinson also admitted in a text
message that he shot and killed Kirk, texting back and forth to his partner, kind of giving a lot of information. and
back out here live. While Robinson sits in that county jail behind me in Utah, his partner is cooperating with
authorities, I'm told. So, they're trying to get as much information as they can.
Yeah, you get what they're talking about. Yeah. Larry, what do we know about the rifle
and how is the information? How do you find the way that they're somehow managing this situation or they're
trying to put out information about the case of assassination? Well, we really don't know much about the rifle. We've
got some I call them contrived narratives. There was a photograph that was circulating claiming, "Oh, this is the
rifle they found." But, you know, according to that report,
this was a 1906, 1908 Mouser.
That's 120 years old. The rifle that they showed
didn't look like that at all. You know, it was not a wooden stock. It almost
looked like it was a um some sort of plastic material stock. Um so, you know,
we're not sure. I've heard some have just said that it's an MK98
uh mouser and and and and you know another friend of mine Ryan Dawson had claimed that oh
yeah that you could comply collapse that stock you know fold it over to reduce
the size of the gun. Well I've been all over scouring the internet for such a an
image I can't find it. Um, so, uh, and you know, shooting an old
rifle is, uh, you know, brings some problems with it. I mean, you've got to make sure it's in, you know, it's in
decent condition and that the barrel hasn't worn out and, you know, a number of other things. You know, I've got a M1
Garand, which was the rifle used in World War II. It's from 1943.
And I still before I ever shot that had to take it to a gunsmith to say, "Okay, check the is this safe to fire because
it fires the round that Charlie did, which is a it's a big round." Um,
so we really don't know if that in fact is the rifle, you know, and what what
the condition of it was.
Then the question is,
uh, you know, the FBI claimed that he broke it down, you know, took it apart, disassembled it in in part to get it off
the roof. Yet, if you disassemble a mouser, it has what's called an internal
magazine. So, it's like a spring that if you you put in rounds of ammunition and
that spring will, you know, push up so that you can then chamber the round into the barrel, you know, or, you know, put
put the round uh into uh the barrel so it can be fired. Well, the problem is
when you disassemble a mouser that when that internal magazine, it drops out and
all the ammunition falls out. And yet they claimed that they found the rifle
intact with the, you know, he'd fired a shot. It's a bolt action. So you raise the bolt, pull it back, it will extract
the cartridge, move the bolt forward, it will insert the new cartridge into the
barrel. Well, that they claimed that after he fired, he didn't didn't operate
the the bolt action at all. Left it intact. So there's no way in hell he
could have disassembled it is the point. Okay. So, somebody's lying here. That
that's what's clear. Um the images of him going across the roof. Um it doesn't
appear he's got, yes, he has something in his hand, but it doesn't appear to be a full-size
Mouser rifle. Um, so just, you know, you've got to ask a
question, why why is the FBI lying about this?
And then then you get to the issue of the shot.
The fact that there has been so much
disinformation surrounding this tells me that it's an intelligence
operation of some sort. In other words, people deliberately
feeding false information into the narrative such as, "Oh, he was shot from
the side, that's why his head did, you know, his head didn't do that." Or he was shot from behind, or, you know, so you've got lots of this conspiratorial stuff going on. He was shot from the front. He got shot, you know, right here. whether it nicked the
collar bone and then spun up, but it put a hole in and you know the hole
initially shows up about the size of the end of your middle finger. Um, but then
it rapidly, you know, blood just poured out. The claim that it was a 306 round that
hit him. Um, I have seen
several videos of a variety of 36, you
know, full metal jacketed uh 30 30 six rounds.
It would have tore his head off if that's what hit him or just I mean would have caused
catastrophic damage beyond what we saw in his neck
You can see on the internet they've got what are called ballistic dummies. So they use a gel and they
actually have a skeletal structure. So it's designed to reproduce, you know, what shooting uh an actual person would
be like. And I mean when the when a 30-6 six round hits it uh now again when
some of these images we don't know if they were shot from 200 yards. Um there is a a round it's called
frangible and it's it's designed that when it penetrates
it then breaks up. It doesn't it was it was originally designed to stop you know
when police were shooting somebody a bullet would pass through them and hit some innocent bystander behind. So they
they came up with what's known as a frangible round to that would then
remain within the body of the person. I suppose that's possible, but then we get this story out
that the doctor found the bullet just under the skin, and they were calling Charlie Kirk "a man of steel who stopped
the bullet." You know, that's such a croc of crap. You step back and say, "Why the lies." There's no doubt Charlie was shot from the front. There was not an exit wound. You can see it in a variety of videos.
And it raises questions about exactly what
size it was. Some insist that it was what's called a palm pistol. Look, look. The problem with a palm pistol is
how do you aim it? I can aim and point. I can do pretty accurate point
shooting out to about 21 ft. But once you get out past, say 15 yards,
and you try to point shoot with a handgun, you're not going to be very accurate.
This was an accurate shot. So, whoever was aiming, if they're aiming to the head, the bullet could have dropped and hit him in the neck.
So, the forensic I what I'm saying so far is the forensic evidence just
isn't adding up to the narrative. And, you know, the FBI's got uh you know, I
had I had high hopes that Cash Patel and Dan Bonino would bring some credibility back to the FBI. They turned it into a
frigin clown show. They're both buffoons.
Larry, you've mentioned how the doctor, the surgeon was talking about the bullet that they man of steel because he could
explain what has happened to the bullet, what he didn't because we've learned from what
from what Candace Owens told us that she saw a
footage from backside. Uhhuh. She she sees that there is nothing going on when you look at the
you you know look at the scene from the back. And why is that the position? You see no
blood. You see nothing coming out in that direction. There's a I I've got a
video on my latest uh sonar21.com post
um that contains several several videos within that video of different shots
from uh a 306. There's one that uses a full ballistic
dummy head chest. The shot goes through the chest,
blows out the back. So you get an exit wound. It's so the entrance wound maybe
like the size of the end of my finger. The exit wound is like this. And there
was a 2x4 a piece of a piece of wood that was attached to the back of this ballistic
dummy. The bullet penetrated the 2x4 and then went back and hit hit a wall.
That's what you know she was expecting to see that if if a 306 round that was
fully metal jacketed had hit Charlie in the neck would have tore his neck off would have blown off a big back half of
his neck and would have probably hit some of the people that were standing back behind
that that's where the story doesn't make sense. Uh now maybe they'll come up and
say, "Oh, well it was an it was an underpowered, you know, they this was a speciallymade round of ammunition that
only had half the power, you know, half the gunpowder inside the shell casing." Well, you know, maybe. Um so again we
just we don't have any the information they've put out is misleading
and beyond that we don't have any good information other than to say what we know about the performance and how and
the car characteristics of 30 out six round are not evident in what we see
with Charlie Kirk. Um, you know, he gets hit, you know, he does this real quick
movement from he gets hit from the front. Um, and you know, it's just it's the physics
of you're hitting low enough on the neck, the head's going to move forward. You hit me in the forehead, my head's
going to go back. I mean, you can just do it to yourself with pressure. You you hit yourself from the side, hit yourself
from the side. But if I hit myself here on the side of the neck, your head does different things. So people, you need to
look carefully at what's going on. But the fact that he said he
found the the bullet under the skin, that doesn't make sense.
The other thing is the text messages between Tyler Robin Robinson
and his love, you know, the whole thing is amazing because he's coming. Yeah. He's because
the whole story that he comes from a conservative family and then he goes in
a relationship with a transgender guy and you know the text messages between
the two it seems that two people 50 years ago are talking to each other. It's somehow amazing
just looking at two 22 years old. You know the these are pretty young people
talking to each other the way that Yeah. 50 years ago people were talking this
Yeah. L what's his name? Lance Twigs or you know something like that. Yeah. The
the there's a real problem with the text messages put out. And number one they
don't have date timestamps. So it's not like they've been lifted off of phone.
Um some have speculated that this was an AI generated conversation. You know, you
went to Grock and say, "Hey, Grock, give me give me a conversation between, you
know, two two uh sexually confused people, one of whom has just killed
somebody and has uh got a rifle he needs to hide and you know, because some of
the word, some of the language use, you know, you and I talk a lot. You
know, we're on you know, you do a variety of podcasts. I do a variety of podcasts."
None of us use language like that. I mean it is it's archaic. Some of it is archaic.
So you got to wonder why are they so busy establishing this narrative.
Now there are other reports out, and again I take it at face value that it may be true, that this thing was planned in advance. You know, there were cars coming and going from that location in the days preceding. There were posts on Discord and other social media platforms saying that something big was going to happen on September 10th. Others even saying hat
Charlie Kirk was going to be killed. So, this wasn't just one angry
transgender confused guy who's going out to avenge his boyfriend/girlfriend, whatever, that there was an element of organization to this. And you know, that's what they got to get to the bottom of.
How trained does someone have to be to
hit the target the way he did
in this assassination?
Well, it means that you've had
somebody who's taken that rifle and zeroed it, so that when you shoot a
target at 200 yards, I've heard 150-200 yards, when you
shoot a target at that distance, you want to make sure that when you line up the reticles, you know, the crosshairs,
that when you put the crosshair on a particular point, that's where the bullet will hit.
Because the earth is curved, when you fire a bullet, it's basically following the curvature of the earth. And over distance, the longer the
distance, the more the bullet drops.
So if I'm shooting a round, we call them rounds or ammunition because a bullet is
only one part of the round. You've got the bullet, the shell casing,
the primer. The primer is a little explosive at the base in the center of the cartridge. Then when you
hit it, it ignites the gunpowder. So you got those four things, the bullet, shell, gunpowder, and primer.
When you fire say a 5.56 round, which is, you know, much smaller at 500
yards if you've got it zeroed, so at 200 yards, you'll hit right in the middle of what you're looking at. At 500
yards that bullet will drop five feet, okay?
So what this means is somebody had to have zeroed that rifle so that they
knew when they were aiming at 200 yards, that it's going to hit either where
you aimed, or you will understand that you need to adjust where you aim at, recognizing that the bullet's going to drop four or five inches from 200 yards. Okay?
Hopefully I'm not confusing you yet.
No.
So that's one thing, tat there had
to be somebody, whether it was Tyler Robinson, or somebody who helped him, who zeroed the rifle. Number one.
Number two then is the actual shooting, pressing the trigger. If I've got a zeroed rifle, I can teach you to do that at 200 yards in
probably 15 to 30 minutes. And it's a simple matter of put the rifle down,
aim at the target, understand what you're looking at through the scope, put the crosshairs on it, learn to breathe,
exhale, hold your breath, press the trigger.
I could teach you to do that, and you could make that shot.
So the bottom line is there was an element of skill here. Plus, this gets back to the whole notion of he
disassembled rifle. If you've got it zeroed in, and then you take that rifle
apart, there's a good chance that you will have lost the zero so that you have to shoot again to make sure that you're aiming where the red dot in the middle of your scope is. That's where the bullet's going
to go. Does that make sense?
Yeah, it's amazing the way that you describe it. Larry, a person in our
audience has a question for you. What would happen if
the bullet came from the right side around the ear?
Yeah. No. If you would have seen it from
the right side, just put your finger to your ear, hit yourself in the air, try to see if you
can keep your head -- if you get hit unexpectedly in the side, your head's going to move like this.
Okay? We didn't see that on the video. His head does this. It goes down and
then up, down and then up, not to the side. So, that's why I say this. And I step back and say, "Who's putting that out?" I'm not accusing the
questioner of that. That has been circulated on the internet as, yeah, this is what we think happened because
this was an exit. That wasn't an exit wound. That was an entrance wound. And I can pull up my video
at sonar21.com and look at that, and watch the exit wound that comes out of this ballistic dummy. You know, it's
the size of a paper plate small, like a 6" hole.
So what was done to Charlie was an assassination. It was intended to kill him and it, and it did so effectively.
What about his change of outfit. Here is what the FBI said.
So when he's first spotted on campus, he has different clothing on, and
then he changes clothing on the roof, and then changed back into that clothing at
some point so that when he was apprehended, when he was arrested, the clothing matched
the clothing he had on before the shooting.
Yeah, how do they know he changed
his clothing on the roof? I don't know, was he
doing a strip tease, music playing. There are lots of lots of holes in the story.
I don't know if there was a deliberate effort to mislead people, that's a possibility, or if it's just sheer incompetence. I never discount the
possibility of incompetence and stupidity.
And you see the footage, Larry, of the
guy who's crossing the road, and you see he has some sort of problem
with his leg and he doesn't --
Well, that's before, right?
Before the shooting, he's walking like he's limping. Some have speculated that he had a rifle in his pants. And I've seen videos where some say you can't do it, and others say you you know I've seen videos
where you can do it. You can still walk, but you will have a limp, or it's not a normal gate.
So is that how he smuggled the rifle up? Again they've got images of him on the stairs, and you don't see him moving in any of those images. So you can't tell whether or not he's actually bending his knees. Does he have a rifle hidden in
his pants or not?
When this first happened, I assumed he had a rifle that he was able to take apart. There are some you can take take apart, disassemble, and break
them down, and get them into a backpack. But then the FBI comes up with the story of this 30-6 which doesn't break that down easily. I've not seen, and I've looked, a single video. If someone can find it, please send me a
copy of it. I'd like to see someone breaking down a mauser.
I could bring my M1 Grand in
here. Again, it's a World War II vintage rifle like this. Some suggest his may have gone back to World War I,
but it's got what they call a receiver,
and then the stock, the wooden part that the barrel sits in, that doesn't come apart easily. It's not a a quick knock it down. Whereas with an AR
platform, an M4, M16, I just push a little uh screw, if you will, or bolt,
and it can break down right away. I can do that in 4 seconds,
but not this.
So, Larry, here's what Candace Owens said
about the outfit.
What happened? Something made its way
around the entire town and into my tips line repeatedly. It is a very clear
image of Tyler Robinson, allegedly taken, I'll say allegedly for safety here, but it's looking right
according to my timeline. Allegedly taken at 6:38 p.m. at a nearby Dairy
Queen. Here is that photo that we can show you. Just take a look at this photo.
What is wrong with this picture? A lot is wrong with this picture. First and foremost, at 6:38 p.m., you just shot someone. You have gone through great
pains to hide your face, to change your outfit. But wait, you didn't fully change your outfit, did you? I'm looking
at this photo and you're wearing jeans, and you're wearing the maroon shirt. Now we have a 50/50 combo of the
outfit. And now you're showing your eyes, and you're not fearful at all that you might be recognized.
Also, wow, you must have quite the stomach. You don't have a criminal record, and then the next thing you know, you shoot someone, and you're like, I'm just going to go have a meal? You don't seem to be
too shaken or too upset. Something problematic is the location. By the way, we mapped this out. It's
about 15 minutes away from the campus at a time when we're told that he's idling
by babysitting the rifle. So, what we're showing is about a 17
minute drive away from the campus. So, there should be a lot of footage then of of his Dodge Challenger
driving back and forth.
And like I said, the biggest thing that jumps out at me is he looks kind of content there. So, he's got to be a full-blown psychopath wearing half of what the feds told us he was wearing in the morning, and half of what the feds told us that he was wearing during the shooting.
So, why did he text this exchange at all, and say that he changed
outfits when you could have said , "I changed my t-shirt" if that's the reality? You just changed your t-shirt and that was enough. Was it just a t-shirt that he changed?
The outfit again, as I sensed yesterday, has always been problematic. I feel the
outfit was the fed's mistake. It never made any sense to say that he wore an outfit onto campus, light khaki shorts and a maroon shirt, and then decided to completely change hours later. Because why wouldn't you just change the t-shirt? That actually makes more sense. Every kid wears blue jeans. You don't have to change blue jeans, or change
out of khaki shorts to avoid detection. No one's going to say, "Hey, we're stopping you because you're wearing blue
jeans." That's not a thing. It would make much more sense if he had just changed his t-shirt.
Well, look, there's some problems with what she's saying. 6:38 p.m. was 3 to
4 hours after the shooting. She intimated that this was like 15 minutes after the
shooting. No, it wasn't. I think the shots took place around 1:00 p.m.
So I'm assuming this is all local time to Utah. So the fact that he's nonchalant 5 hours later, I don't find that surprising at all. But you know she is correct. Why is the FBI making such a big deal about
changing "outfits"?
Look, you and I know we got the shirt
thing going on. I've never heard you say, "I'm gonna go put on my new outfit."
Who talks like that? "I'm going to change my shirt; we're going to change shirts." Or we're going to come in with conservative shirts on Friday. No, we don't say "outfits." There's something weird about the language. And Candace is correct when she notes, he's going to
change his t-shirt? It's not like the whole thing was a costume, or was it? So, you know, again, this FBI with a lot of things it's saying is creating just more
confusion.
Then we had the memorial of Charlie Kirk
in which we saw Tucker Carlson coming up, Donald Trump was talking about and
Donald Trump was asked about actually the assassination. He said that he feels
that the assassin was alone and no one else is involved. Here is what he said.
Involved is what you're asking. It would look to me like not. Now, he did have a friend, but I don't The friend seemed to
be a little bit surprised. And here is what
Tucker Carlson said at the memorial. He was a Christian evangelist.
And it actually reminds me of my favorite story ever. So, it's about 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem and Jesus
shows up and he starts talking about the people in power and he starts doing the worst thing that
you can do, which is telling the truth about people and they hate it and they just go bonkers. They hate it and they
become obsessed with making him stop. This guy's got to stop talking. We've got to shut this guy up. And I can just
sort of picture the scene in a lamp lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus thinking about what do we
do about this guy telling the truth about us? We must make him stop talking.
And there's always one guy with the bright idea and I could just hear him say, "I've got an idea. Why don't we just kill him? That'll shut him up.
That'll fix the problem."
It doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. Everything is inverted.
You know, you see two people, one of them is feeling that what has happened to Charlie is deeper than what they're
talking about and Donald Trump is trying to say that this is the only guy who was
responsible for the assassination and nothing more than that beyond that.
Yeah. you know, Trump's reaction to this has been pretty weird.
Um, they've, you know, there've been descriptions by both by Charlie's widow, Erica, and others that thought Charlie
loved Donald like a father. He was like a second child to Donald Trump.
Yet on the video uh footage that got, you know, the part that was used in the
show that got Jimmy Kimmel fired, Kimmel, you know, correct made a I
thought he made a decent point, a fair point about Trump was asked like the day
after Charlie had been murdered that what what's your reaction? And he just
said something very, you know, GL, you just sort of, oh yeah, it's terrible. Hey man, look at that construction
project over here. That's that's what I said. That's weird.
That's not normal. Um, if you really have a relationship with somebody that
you genuinely cared about and they've been murdered in this way,
I would find it even difficult to talk, particularly if it's someone that's like my my son, someone that I claim to have
had this close relationship with. Trump's emotions on this have not been normal.
I mean, it the emotions don't match the story, I guess, is what I'm saying.
Um, hey man, look at we're building the biggest ballroom ever. Yeah, Charlie. Yeah, he's dead, man. But man, this
ballroom's going to be great. Um, you know, that is, you know, what I'd
call legitimate target for for a comedian trying to make a point that
Trump's reaction was just so, you know, uh, so unusual.
I'll leave it at that, which is not even a little bit comparable with what Natio is trying to
do. Oh my god, he's so obsessed with everything around it. Donald Trump is trying to ignore
everything and that wasn't a big deal. And how Larry
when you put this to the reactions coming from Donald Trump to the reactions coming from Net
is the prime minister of another country is trying to do everything to convince
people that he wasn't behind the assassination and Donald Trump is somehow ignoring as you've mentioned the
way that he should address the assassination. Well, there is uh the the Apac,
AmericanI-Israeli Public Affairs Committee. the various Zionists are working overtime and it's not just
Jewish Zionists, it's Christian Zionists uh to
you know Charlie was used as a tool by these
people and Charlie he did accept their money and there you know there are several
instances over you know even in over the last year or two where uh he has said
things to justify the genocide. Uh he has not been strong in condemning
the murder of children in Gaza and part of that can be attributed to
the political the the financial pressure that was being brought to bear on him by these wealthy uh Zionist donors.
Um they realize they have a problem though because you know um the the
conversation that was you know recorded I guess 24 hours before all this
happened between Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro. And if you if you take some of the
comments out of context, it sounds like Charlie was really questioning and
challenging the the Israelis genocide. But if you play the full clip, it's more
like he's trying to get some guidance from Ben Shapiro. Hey, you know, help me. How do we how do we explain this to
people so that uh they're not going to be pissed off at Israel?
Well, um whether you know both Candace
Owens and Tucker Carlson have testified or you know spoken out that Charlie was
under enormous pressure that he did not like BB Netanyahu. he did not like BB Netanyahu's interference in American
politics and that he recognized he had a problem with his base of supporters. The the
these these 20 20 year olds are not buying into the Israel's our best friend
narrative. So this, you know, the fact that it
surfaced quickly that the possibility was, was this Israel trying to shut up Charlie? I
don't rule that out at all as far as not not did they set somebody up? Did they
help organize the effort? Can't rule it out because they've got a they got a clear track record of killing people
that they view as a problem. Just ask Hassan Nasalla and the Hamas negotiator
Haneia, you know. So they've
Israel's got just, you know, a long rich sorted tradition of uh murdering,
assassinating others that they want to get out of the way. So, here's Charlie Kirk who's uh beginning, you know, well,
the the two points that he was adamant on was he was going to have Tucker Carlson was his friend and he was going
to have Tucker back at the next Turning Point USA event. Well, that you know
there's clear evidence according to Tucker anyway that uh these Zionist
donors uh the very very very wealthy pressured him to say don't you don't
have Tucker Carlson don't have Megan Kelly and don't have Dave Smith. Well,
so you know it's a complicated picture from Charlie Kirk's side. the there's you there are some who can just take
certain statements he made and said he's just a tool of the Israelis and there are other comments you can
take said no he was starting to break away um again I come back to the fact he's 31
years old and so young so young there are things you believe when you're
31 and you know you may not have enough experience at that point to you know
properly think about it and say what you're going to say I Oh boy, I said some stupid stuff I didn't mean to. And
people could take comments I said back when I was 30, 31, and if they played them, it would, you know, paint a
radically different picture of me. So that's why I say I'm going to be uh
I'm very reserved in any kind of judgmental statements about Charlie Kirk was this
or Charlie Kirk was that. you know, I step back and just say, hey, u whether
he was a tool of Zionist or not, he had the force of personality and the
personal vision. And when you listen to Candace Owens, who worked with him in the early days of Turning Point USA,
you know, very very clear that uh um he he was a he was a young man with a
vision and delivered on it and and he need commended on that.
When you interact with the people, it could be on your in your classroom, it
could be with the crowd that Charlie K is doing, you try to tell your message and you're
getting their message. You're getting influenced by the people you're talking with. Even when I teach at the in in the
classroom, I get influenced by my students, right? they teach me as as I'm
trying to teach them. You know, that's what has happened during this movement in the United States. In my opinion,
Charlie Kirk was somehow she she he he learned something new that he couldn't
learn it from Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens, right? It came from the young people who were
challenging him, who were trying to make a point against him. Yeah. I wonder I don't know when when
did he first do his first prove me wrong. You know when he'd go to a college campus and say hey prove me
wrong and would but it would be a debate a back and forth a Socratic questioning.
I I'm not sure. Yeah. But but I would guess if you went and
watched the first two or three of those that he did and then you watched what he
did eight years later. Let's assume that he started when he was 23.
I think you'd see a a difference, a change in approach, change in argument, a change um you know, he's been accused
of saying some harsh things. But again, in those videos that I've watched of those interactions,
he was never insulting or or, you know, calling people names,
you using expletives, um, insulting, you know, their their
mother's sexual history, you know, none of that. It was always, you know, back and forth asking a question, posing a
question. Um that's why I don't think that the
Israeli government would be able to reshape the movement that he has started
because the movement is coming from these young people is not about Charlie and his people. It comes from the young
people in the United States most mostly under the age of 30. Yeah. And that could not be changed as I
understand it. Larry, what's your take on that? Yeah. No, I think the Turning Point USA
is they're at a point of we'll see how they continue. Uh I don't know what
percentage of their budget has been supplied by wealthy uh Jewish donors
like Bill Aman uh and others. But um you know
if they find money outside of that if you will nonzionist money and then
continue this movement because it is you know it is trying to challenge this sort of traditional
I don't like calling it leftist but it but it's um they they are
challenging the notion that uh they start from the premise America is a good
place, not a bad place. Um, and again, that's one, that's the
discussion I would love to have had with someone like Charlie to say, you know, hey, I agree that within America, there
has always been this hope, this ideal of goodness, but we got to take
responsibility for our evil, for what we've done, what we're doing. I mean,
look at right now. Donald Trump is murdering people in boats off the coast of the
Dominican Republic and off the coast of Venezuela with no proof, no evidence, no actual
due process under the under our constitution.
He just decided, I think they're bad. Someone's told me they're bad. I'm going to kill them.
That's legalized murder. That's all it is. So, we've got these bad things in in
America. the the sort of the other thing that the uh that they emphasize is that
you know and this is where where it gets really interesting Charlie Kirk's inter emphasizing a Christian faith that these
Zionists reject Christianity and particularly in the more you know
I'm told I have not read the actual passages in the Talmud but people say that within the Talmud which is
commentary by Jewish rabbis that there are scathing disgusting things said about Jesus and
about the Virgin Mary. So, you know, the irony of Zionist money
funding a movement that is primarily Christian, promoting a Christian message
and repentance and come to Jesus, you know, that that at some point becomes maybe a
a point of contention.
Larry, don't you think that this rhetoric about left and right is confusing, and we are not addressing the core issue, which to me left is socialism, the employee/employer relationship, and social security. The left are
always asking for these things to be to be considered. But you
don't see the Left talking about other things. The Right is talking about something else, traditions. And they are confusing the whole battle. I was watching the
Candace Owens podcast. She said Tucker Carlson, and she herself, said that the
battle is between the elites and the people. It's not the battle between the right and left.
Yeah, I agree with that. For example, I believe that government should not be out attacking,
killing, foreigners, attacking other countries, engaged in military operations on their own initiative. I believe
that military force should always be used as defense, because you've been attacked, or you are being threatened with an imminent attack in which your life will be lost, or you have no alternative but to use force. The same thing applies when I teach defense, teach people to protect themselves
with a firearm. If you carry a gun, and somebody confronts you, the first
thing you need to try to do is to deescalate that, not fight them, not
escalate it by calling them names, or hurling insults, or imposing tariffs, or some action
that will harm them. Try to deescalate. Try to get away. Get out of the
situation. It's only if you can't get away, and you can't
deescalate, and the person with a weapon is moving towards you, then you use force, and take them out.
But that's the last resort. So because I take that position, does that
make me conservative or liberal? Does that make me right or left?
Beats the hell out of me.
Or the concept that I don't want
government taking money that I make, just to waste it on some other
programs. I would like there to be some fiscal responsibility.
I'm willing to pay my part to be a member of society, but I don't want to have to pay more
than other people. And if you're if you're fabulously wealthy, maybe you could step up
a little and help contribute to society.
Does that make me left or right?
So we just go sort of issue by issue. I tend to lean more in the libertarian direction, with
minimal government, maximum responsibility for individuals, and hold people accountable for what they do.
The other day, I don't know if you saw Pam Bondi talking about the hate speech and
freedom of speech and you know the same the same thing was happening with the
previous administration. They're using the same sort of rhetoric to go after
their political rivals, right? you know. Yeah, that's that's the danger. I mean,
she she was and the good news is that people like Tucker and Candace spoke out
immediately condemning her. Uh she's she's awful. She needs she should be
fired. Um she shows she doesn't have an understanding of the Constitution.
Certainly doesn't understand the concept of free speech. You know, I'm old enough to remember you
weren't uh you may not even have been born yet. um when the there were a group of
neo-Nazis that marched in a area of Illinois, Skoi, Illinois, outside of Chicago,
where there was a large Jewish population, a number of Holocaust survivors,
and uh they they ultimately they were allowed to march.
You know, I I oppose everything they stand for, but the I concept of free speech is you
even allow those that you hate or just, you know, despise
to have a voice. You know that it it's you can't just shut it down. You can
say, "I don't like I don't like what you're saying." Because if that becomes your standard, then everybody is going
to be subject to the the persecution based on who's in who's in power. They
can declare any kind of speech like what we've been having today can be considered antisocial or, you know, uh
anti-semitic or and therefore we're going to shut shut it down. It shouldn't be that way.
Yeah, the the situation is hugely changing, Larry, considering I I don't know if you saw the clip when Jimmy
Kimmel was talking about Tucker Coulson being fired of Fox News. He was just
attacking Tucker Carlson. Yeah. The most violent way,
violent way possible. That didn't happen with Jimmy. Yeah. Karma is a beautiful thing. You
know, as I say, I learned the saying in Argentina, elabors
mouth. And uh you know, Kimmel uh you know what
people people forget Jimmy Kimmel used to have one be on one of the most sexist
u shows where it was the Ben Stein show and he
was there with Adam. I guess they called it the man show that I think that's what it was called. I think it's may still be
on YouTube. Did you ever see it? No. Oh, I haven't. Yeah. Go look up the man show. I mean,
they were doing nothing but acting like a bunch of teenage boys
chasing women, drinking beer, being hell raisers. I mean, it was it was it was the
antithesis of what he is now. I mean, good god, you know, he, you
know, back then he was funny. Now he's just, you know, screeching lecturer, you
know, hectoring people. Yeah. But you don't see Tucker Carlson
doing the same because they know they got they understand the situation. They're so much aware of what's going on
with the whole game. Well, T Tucker to his credit admits, you know, I said some
stupid things. I was I supported the war. I was at Neocon. You know, he's
he's actually doing a lot of public self-confession and repentance.
You know, I think he genuinely feels bad for how he was such an enabler of so many bad things and now he's trying to
make amends for that. So, but but that's the difference. He admits it. Kimmel
doesn't. Yeah. Larry
talking about this situation between Iran and Europe with the stap sanctions
and it seems that still they're trying to do something politically,
but how do you feel about the whole situation with the Trump administration? How do they feel about it? Do you think
they're putting pressure even more on Europe to with the case of snapback
sanctions? And how what is the outcome of that for the the position of the West
in terms of the way that they're trying to put pressure on Iran to get whatever they want to get from Iran.
So let's let's explain what we mean by snapback sanctions. Prior to the signing of the JCPOA,
there were six or seven different kinds of sanctions that had been imposed on Iran by the United Nations Security
Council under that uh joint comprehensive plan of agreement. Um JCPOA, I think that's
the right what the acronym means. Yeah. Um
the all those previous sanctions were supposed to be lifted.
Iran was going to be under a new era of no sanctions
in exchange for allowing inspections and ensuring that it wasn't building a nuclear weapon.
Then the United States jump bailed out on it. Germany, France, and the United Kingdom
who were also signitories part of the JCPOA. They never li they never actually lifted
those those previous sanctions that had been in place. They didn't lift those. So Iran was still actually suffering
under the sanctions even though under JCPOA they were supposed to be free of it. And then um I guess Russia
ironically was the one who had proposed this concept of snapback. naively believing,
you know, the R the Russians really are too trusting sometimes. I think uh but
they believe that that this JCPOA thing would work that they were confident Iran
was going to let them monitor u and so they never thought it would get to the point that Iran would say, "Hell no,
we're not going to deal this anymore." because then the snapback was then any of those countries could say, "Okay,
uh we're going to put all those sanctions back in back in place." Well, yeah. I mean, the the fact of the matter
is those sanctions never went away. So, was still operating under the sanctions.
So, a lot of this is just p you know, we're snapping back. What's important to note is the other
day at the United Nations Security Council uh Russia and China along with Pakistan
and Algeria I believe introduced a resolution saying hey let's keep the
JCPOA sanctions relief in place and because all of this this is this is
why Iran signed the Cairo agreement with IAEA
uh two weeks ago. Because at the time I was saying, "What the hell are they doing? They should
tell IAEA to go to hell." But instead, they're signing this
agreement to allow IAEA back in, who's the den of spies.
But then I didn't think through and realized what they were doing. what Iran was doing is saying, "Okay, we're going
to continue to cooperate as required by JCPOA because we, you know, we do genuinely
want to have the sanctions relief." And in doing this, Iran took the high
road of saying, "Okay, even though this international rules-based order is unfairly applied and never applied in a
in a just manner with us, nonetheless, we're going to still play by those
rules. And what did the West do? Nine members
of the UN Security Council told Iran, "Go to hell. Screw you.
No, we're going to you're going to get the sanctions again." The sanctions which have really never been lifted
were, you know, going to be enforced. Except then Russia and China came out
together first time. This is an illegal and valid action.
and we're going to do business with Iran any way we like and
ignore your sanctions. So, it's it's now a real break. Uh and uh Iran is Iran's
in a stronger position both militarily, economically, and politically now than it ever has been.
Do you feel that Iran with this movement, Iran would move toward China
and much more than before? Because Iran was somehow trying to the new
administration, the possession administration somehow was trying to get some sort of balance between the east
and the west. They were trying to many people within the administration. They were advocating for a better
relationship with the United States, specifically with the United States. Well, I think they now realize there's
no possible relationship with the United States. United States wants to destroy Iran.
uh Iran at the same time has been very uh you know active in strengthening
relations with both China and Russia. You know there have been several there have been multiple military transports
from both Russia and China going into Iran. You know helping them rebuild in
the aftermath of uh of the attacks on June June 13th. So, uh, you know, what
what what you're seeing here now is, um, in fact, the other day the chief of
chief of staff of the Iranian army was in Moscow
and one of the meetings was with their basically their secretary of energy
and the secretary of energy said to him, you know, we look forward to in increasing enhancing our economic and
military cooperation. that was coming from a Russian energy chief. It's like what do you have to do
with military cooperation? So clear, you know, clearly uh Iran is they're getting
ready to be attacked again. That that's that's going to take place
and uh I I I think it will be devastating for Israel and potentially
the United States.
Paul's here.
Hello, Larry.
Hello.
How's it go?
Go ahead, Paul.
Larry was talking about the snapback sanctions that Europeans together with
the United States trying to impose more sanctions as as it was before JCPOA.
And how do you see the outcome of the new policies? Instead of having a common ground to work with Iran, you would
force European to go after the plan of snapback sanction putting lot of sanctions on Iran. How is that going to
influence the policy of Iran in terms of moving toward the east or somehow trying
to accommodate trying to get closer to the west? Your take on that?
Well, I agree with Larry. I think Larry nailed it. It forces Iran to develop
closer relations with the other two superpowers, Russia and China. And and I agree with
Larry. Larry is right. My own view is that uh he's also right. I think I
understood Larry to say that uh there's not going to be possible for Iran to
reach an accommodation with United States and I agree with that. I don't
know what I didn't miss I missed you know what his reason for that is but I certainly agree with it and I think the
reason is that the government of the United States is a two-bit puppet
government of net value that's all it is there there there's no
independence anywhere in the United States government from Israel
they control both houses they control the presidency and the media
uh the foreign policyy's in their hands. So, um whatever happens to Iran will be
determined by neter. Let let me ask you a question, Paul, that uh one of one of
the people that uh reads my uh Sodar 21 sent this to me, and I hadn't really
thought about it, but uh he said that given the the price level of oil that's
needed in order to sustain fracking in the United States, that oil that the
price of oil needs to be up at a certain level, and that perhaps what really what
Trump's really doing is trying to prov provoke this crisis with Iran in order
to actually get the price of oil up so that he can protect these industries
inside the United States. Do you think that's pretty far-fetched? Uh, no. That's an entirely possible
motive. Uh, but I just don't think American foreign policy is that independent.
Yeah. it, as good a motive as it is, the
controlling element is Netanyahu. It's Israel. And
um so I don't I really don't think we're capable of acting in our interest in the
Middle East. Yeah. Hey, I'm going to bail out now. You
gentlemen have a great conversation. Good to see everybody. Great to talk to you, Larry. All right, my friends. Bye-bye. See you.
Bye-bye. Goodbye. Bye. Goodbye.
