In short

The episode argues that right-wing Republicans, led by Donald Trump and promoted by Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller, are using Charlie Kirk’s death and political rhetoric to erode civil liberties—especially free speech and civil rights—by pressuring employers and schools to punish “ugly” speech. Key claims include: businesses can be prosecuted for allowing vigil posters; Oklahoma’s superintendent allegedly threatens teachers who criticize Kirk; Home Depot/Office Depot allegedly face civil-rights scrutiny for allowing or restricting Kirk-related speech; and the NFL’s moment of silence is framed as endorsing anti–Black-women rhetoric.

Guests

Harmeet Dillon (civil rights unit counsel). Others mentioned: Charlie Kirk, J.D. Vance, Stephen Miller, Mike Johnson, Lisa Murkowski, and a Minnesota Democratic lawmaker murdered in her bed.

0:04MAGA is making no bones about exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to take away people's freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. We've heard Kanks talk about it. We've heard J.D. Vance, Stephen Miller. Now we have Pam Bondi, the DOJ that refuses to cooperate with the congressional subpoena on Epstein files. She was in hiding, but she's been able to come out and tell us where she stands on free speech. Horrific. It's free speech, but you shouldn't be employed anywhere if you're going to say that. And employers, you have an obligation to get rid of people. You need to look at people who are saying horrible things and they shouldn't be working with you.

0:42Businesses cannot discriminate. If you want to go in and print posters with Charlie's pictures on them for a vigil, you have to let them do that. We can prosecute you for that. I have Harmeet Dillon right now in our civil rights unit looking at that immediately, that Office Depot had done that. We're looking at that. But, Sean, you know. Here's the thing. In Oklahoma, we have a state superintendent that sends out a statewide email that says, if anybody talks ugly, and I'm paraphrasing, anybody talks bad about Charlie Kirk, I want you to turn them in and they'll never teach in the state of Oklahoma again.

1:20Now, Home Depot, you can't say anything ugly at Home Depot. What they think is ugly, because a girl was fired from the Washington Post for only repeating Charlie Kirk's words. So what I'm gathering from this, and I'd like your opinion is, not only are you not allowed to say anything ugly about Charlie Kirk, you have to completely whitewash what he said. And no longer can we talk about the points that he made, which were racist and homophobic and misogynistic. Now we have to act like he was the perfect vessel of Christ. And that's where we're going. Well, here's the thing. If you walked into your job and you walked up to a black person and you quoted Charlie Kirk and you said, you just got this job because a white person should have had it, which is based on paraphrasing.

2:16This is basically what Charlie Kirk has said. You would get fired for saying that to your black employee. So we have this is a propaganda gaslighting technique of authoritarians. And I believe that they are priming the public to erode civil liberties. It is abhorrent that the NFL had a moment of silence. And this is an industry that has been dominated by African-Americans. And they put up a moment of silence of a man who has spoken so horribly about Black women. And that is just something that's just become so accepted in America, picking on black women. And I just, this is just so devastating for so many Americans, specifically black Americans, to see how this administration is treating them.

3:14And Pam Bondi is the puppet of Stephen Miller, who is a white supremacist to his core, a neo-Nazi to his core. And they are priming the public to erode our civil rights. And I also personally believe they are priming the public so that when something happens with our very old, very weak, very frail president, that the fix is in for J.D. Vance, who's not likable, doesn't pull well, would not be able to keep the cult together so that the fix is in for him to be able to have all of the power concentrated. I completely agree. And Pam Bondi, what just what is so ridiculous. Well, OK, this is what when asked about because yesterday, Kang Scott asked a lot of questions.

4:07You lowered the flag for Charlie Kirk, but you did not for a congressperson that was murdered in her bed from Minnesota because she was a Democrat. And when asked, Pam Bondi, this is her response regarding the Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota that was murdered in her own bed. I did say he believes it's mainly on the left, left-wing radicals. But as you mentioned, the governor's mansion being set afire. We had the former Speaker of the House for the state of Minnesota killed along with her spouse. We had the state senator, you know, wounded along with his wife. So it's clearly not just one side, is it?

4:47No, and in the state speaker's house, I believe they said that they were supporters of Governor Walz. So people are all over the board who are doing this. They supported Governor Walz. It's a lie. This is a lie. They are lying. The bulk of all right-wing terrorism and violence, of all political violence, is on the right wing. They are lying. She's a propagandist. They are priming the public to make it illegal to be a liberal and have an opinion or an expression or a symbol against this fascist regime. And let's not forget the rhetoric and the hatefulness and the division comes from the top. Donald Trump is the top of the food chain and he does nothing on his true social and in press conferences, but demean people, berate people, belittle people.

5:44The problem is 77 million people voted for that. Completely agree. He ran on that. He has always been like that. You have, this isn't the bench of Donald Trump. This is, these are fleabags that are so desperate to get in government and cosplay. And these are not serious people. These are dangerous people. really, really dangerous people who are actively trying to dismantle the United States of America and the American experiment and make it more racist. The whole make America great again was far darker than I ever imagined. We are at a precipice. Pambandi is a puppet for Stephen Miller. End of story.

6:28I agree. And you would think that leadership, every democratic leader, starting with President Obama all the way down has condemned political violence across the board. You know who's not doing that? The Republicans. And so Mike Johnson was given an opportunity yesterday to support unity and tamp down rhetoric. And here is the clip from the reporter that spoke with him. And there's also a lot of debate and discussion about President Trump's own handling of all these issues of political violence, these episodes that have happened increasingly over the last several years. I asked Johnson if Trump should also condemn what's happened to Democratic politicians and violence that's happened on the right flank, not just on the left flank.

7:14He would not go that far. He said he had no issue, no fault for Donald Trump at all. But I did ask Lisa Murkowski, the Alaska Republican. So Mike Johnson, when given the opportunity, told this reporter, I am not going to go against Trump. I think he's handled it. I have no fault in how he has handled this. Mike Johnson is third in line to the presidency. Kanks is just one stroke away. So these leaders are not only not condemning political violence, they voted for it, Angie. They voted for it. They're in on it. The fix is in. He ran on the enemy from within. Everybody warned after the January 6th.

7:56These people make it sound like it was the 4th of July in a tourist photo op. They voted for this. Mike Johnson wants this. Pam Bondi wants this. They want this. We all have to come to terms with that. Any sort of co-equal branch is not happening. The Supreme Court wants this. They gave him immunity. They assisted in making sure that he had every opportunity to run again. This there's nobody is coming to save us, especially the Speaker of the House. He's complicit, completely complicit. You're right. But it's hard to get your head around that. We have to get our heads around it. We have to. You have to understand that people woke up and saw what happened on January 6th, and then they went and voted for this man again.

8:47And we heard the way he spoke on the campaign trail. We see the way he speaks about half of Americans right now. This party wants this. He ran on it, and it is a campaign promise that he is delivering. any notion. I have zero expectation that Mike Johnson, that Moses Mike, who claims that he chit chats with God is going to wake up and have moral clarity. I don't wake up and have any expectation that Mike Johnson is going to save me. I don't. I don't have any expectation that the Supreme Court is going to save me. I don't have any expectation that there's going to be maybe 12 Republican senators that help us.

9:26Those days are over. They want this. This is what they want. We democratically elected a fascist. And so this is, I don't know why the Democratic leaders are not trying to get some of their senators on board, but it's difficult for me to have any expectation of Mike Johnson. I just have zero. Well, this has been another uplifting episode. Please like this video and subscribe to our channel. We'll be back later with more news.

10:01Thank you.
