Episode 91 Hour of Decision: Kirk Assassination: His Death, Our War

Speaker 0: Look around you. Wrong rules the land while waiting justice sleeps. I saw in the congress and crossing the country, campaigning with Ron Paul. Tyranny rising, unspeakable evil, manifesting, devils lying about our heritage who want to enslave and replace us. But we are Americans with a manifest destiny to bring the a manifest destiny to bring the new Jerusalem of endless possibilities. But first, this fight for freedom. Be a part of it. But don't delay because this is the hour of decision. Speaker 1: Hour of decision with Lou Moore starts now. Welcome to the ninety first episode of hour of decision. My name is Lou Moore, and today, we're gonna be talking about the aftermath, the repercussions, the implications of the passing of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, the leader of Turning Point USA. I talked last week about Robert Taft walking up to the pickets in Youngstown, Ohio, pickets who were threatening him, hundreds of them, and how he walked through factories full of hostile union workers. There were nobody after that questioned his personal courage, but he survived. Nobody shot him. And, you know, this is how we wanna hear about our heroes, that they were fearless in the face of violence, in the face of gunfire, that that somehow this is an indication that god is protecting them for a mission. And and in some cases, I I don't doubt that. A lot of people express that sentiment after president Trump turned his head just far enough to avoid the fate that Charlie Kirk suffered in front of national television audience, same kind of thing. But president Trump avoided that fate in Butler, Pennsylvania. When I was a kid, I was a young man at least, I would go to meetings, put on by doctor Cleon Skalson, who was a fixture here in actually in Provo, Utah. He was a professor at BYU. He was an anti communist. He wrote the Naked Capitalist, which I know is right behind me here on my bookshelf. I won't pull it out. But, he would, he would sell this book at his gatherings called the bulletproof George Washington. And all of the stories of the father of our country, who many of us believe, who I believe, was called by God to be the father of our country, and who repeatedly put himself in danger in a line of fire as the commander of the ragtag, but eventually successful revolutionary war army. So these are the kind of stories we wanna hear. You don't wanna hear the story where somebody like Charlie Kirk warned to do his question and answer behind bulletproof glass, warned to take more extraordinary and more significant security, precautions than he chose to take, obviously. He was warned, but he wanted to be close to the people. He didn't want to have that impediment. And that's the other thing. These guys live in a bubble. He wasn't a president. He wasn't even a senator or a congressman. He's one of the most famous people on earth and, had and a growing bureaucracy around him at Turning Point USA. And, you know, he wanted to do his thing. He wanted to have that chemistry and contact with the students including and especially with students who he disagreed with, who he always invited to come to the front of the line for students who would line up to ask him questions at these kind of gatherings, which was the kind of gathering that occurred yesterday. Unfortunately, three miles from my home in Provo, Utah, this gathering at the universe excuse me. Utah Valley University. We call it UVU here, in Orem, Utah, the town that sits aside Provo, Utah where I live, where I'm recording this broadcast. What a day. And, so many thoughts going through my mind. So many thoughts. You know, folks, I'm 70 years old. And, what was I? Seven when JFK was assassinated and just old enough and in a family with very, very opinionated, very active, constant common commentary between my parents and my parents' friends and other relatives. Constant commentary about the politics of the day. I think I told you we were a very much a very Goldwater household due to family ties and due to political beliefs in my family. But I was just precocious enough that at seven years old, it it had a huge impact on me, the assassination of JFK. And then I was watching the television sitting. I remember where I was in our home in Southern California when, Jack Rubinstein, Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald in the jail. You know, just another traumatic, dramatic event. I watched that as a child. I mean, it was on live TV be because they they were wheeling him out, and they were covering him being transferred, you know, in the in the jail complex, and boom. Ruby comes up with a 38 and shoots him in the stomach. Live TV. A lot of impact. And RFK Junior or, excuse me, RFK Senior in the kitchen at the was it the Biltmore Hotel? I can't remember the name of the hotel in Los Angeles. He had just won the Republican primary and had just created big trouble for the Democrat establishment by winning that primary, and, he was shot by Sirhan Sirhan. At least we think that's what happened. Although there are a few more sounds of bullets going off in that kitchen than there were, number of rounds that could fit in the I think it was nine cylinder nine shot cylinder nine shot revolver that Sirhan Sirhan had, but I won't digress on that one. Anyway, there's questions. There's always questions, folks. We still don't know what happened to Kennedy. We still don't know exactly what happened with Oswald. We don't know what happened with RFK, and we don't know what happened with MLK, who was, also assassinated two months before Robert Kennedy. He was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel on the balcony there at a low rent motel in Memphis, Tennessee. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Back in the nineteen sixties and all the Kent State and all the violence, one year, 3,000 bombs went off in The United States. People have no idea today how wild it was back in the nineteen sixties, late nineteen sixties, and early nineteen seventies, and I won't digress on that. But that's what I grew up around. Violent communist on the prowl in America then and violent communist, ladies and gentlemen, let me assure you, are on the prowl in America 2025. And we don't know all the details, but I think we can probably fill in the blanks at least enough to assume whether there were people behind the shooter, whether there was a massive conspiracy, and it's looking like a pro hit. We can say this was a political assassination, and nobody in alignment with Charlie Kirk's politics would be doing the shooting. It's been emotional. You know? I've worked with a lot of young people, quote, unquote, young people in politics because I'm old, and I really didn't start my career in professional politics until I was already around 40 years old, and so already I'm surrounded by young people in, congressional staff, on campaigns, and and other efforts, that I've undertaken over all these years. I'm, you know, I'm the oldest guy. Usually, every time I was used to be the youngest guy at the John Birch Society meeting. I'd be 15 years old in the back of the meeting, and I'd be the youngest. But now, for a long time, for a whole lot of years, I've been the oldest. But my point is saying that is you get a love for these kids, people, and you get protective of them. And, I didn't ever know Charlie Kirk. I never worked with Charlie Kirk. I was I almost I had the opportunity to be introduced to him couple years ago, but I to a lot of people around him, and, you know, I didn't that wasn't my thing. I wasn't trying to get a selfie or anything like that. And so I actually never have even met him. And, I was at that, Turning Point meeting at Phoenix a couple years ago. But anyhow but and I didn't agree with him on a number of items, and some of them pretty significant. Although on some of them, it appears like he is coming our direction or my direction, and I'll talk more about that in a minute. It may or may not have something to do with why he was taken from us suddenly yesterday, but, it it just affects me differently to see this happen to this young man, this 31 year old man. And, from my vantage point in life, I can appreciate the waste. What's been spent, the talent, the drive, and for what I know about it, the integrity. Despite my significant disagreements with him on some issues over the years. Charlie Kirk. Everybody's talking about him. I hope I have a few observations to make. It might be a little different. It might be useful. My first observation, which I'll make a couple times properly in this broadcast, is that this is the hour of decision, folks. Life is short. When you get older, you realize how fast it goes by. Your kids are opening Christmas presents, and they're happier about the box to play with the box that the gift came in than the than the gift when they're four years old, three years old, and snap. They're 25 years old. They're 35 years old. My kids are, from 50 I mean, my kids are older than that. I got grandkids that are adults. It goes by fast, folks. And when you say, boy, I'm gonna someday, I'm gonna do something for my country. And if things get worse, let me tell you right now, I'm gonna do something. Folks, no. No. No. The hour of decision is now, and time is a waste, and time is a waste for the Trump administration. You've heard me criticize this administration in my three part three episodes of state of emergency, which we are in, and we didn't get in it because of what happened yesterday. And I'm recording this, by the way, on Thursday. It will be broadcast on Liberty News Radio on Saturday and up on my website, I think, on Saturday. But I'm recording this on on 09:11, actually, on Thursday. And, violent communists are on the prowl in America. And cultural rot cultural rot is becoming one of the biggest problems we have. There's been a conspiracy against our people, against the native stock of American people, against the constitution, against our freedom from the Fabian socialist seeking to centralize power unto themselves. But one of the ways that the Marxist knows that to centralize power unto themselves is to destroy the nuclear family. Folks, read the communist manifesto. It's not some economic treatise, just talking about the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. It talks about destroying your family. It talks about those things. It talks about centralizing power no matter who has the power at that moment because eventually, they plan to seize power and take that centralized power unto themselves. But a big part of the conspiracy are all the ideas they put into your society that create degeneracy. Conspiracy or degeneracy? Which one is actually our biggest foe right now because go on x and read what these people, some of these people on x, have to say about you, about people who think like you, about people who look like you, about the kind of people Charlie Kirk came from. Read some of it. Vile. It's absolutely vile. It is filled with hatred, and they have taught these kids at the universities that free speech is dangerous. They no longer believe in it. They don't believe in free speech. Not at all. That is not what they're into. They're not into these basic rights where we, at least one time, thought this is what the liberal was all about. It was our rights, reading us our rights, having all these rights. That's not where it's at today, folks. These people and, of course, they always accuse you, particularly if you have if you show any concern about your hated ethnic group, if you have any concern about the Northern European peoples, you are a hater. You are filled with hate. But folks, just read. What's up on x right now? Who is filled with hate? There is so much hatred in the left. It's being driven by demons. Devils are among us. A whole lot of them. And they're organizing in rifle clubs. They're training, and they are teaching pure, murderous hatred of your culture, of your visage, of your values, and of your god. It's happening, folks, All around you. This is the hour of decision. I'm not kidding about this. And people were criticizing me and saying to me, well, you know, Billy Graham said our decision or, oh, who else? It's like, I don't know anything about that. I just know it's the hour of decision for our civilization. It's not tomorrow. In a historical sense, it's in this historical hour, it is the hour where you either decide to fight for your people, for your values, for your beliefs, for your understandings that come from Anglo Saxon common law of the rights that come from God, not from government. You either fight for these things or you have made another decision. You don't have to join a communist rifle club to make another decision. You just have to do nothing. You just have to turn the dial, and it doesn't matter if you watch Alex Jones and Steve Bennett or Charlie Kirk and all day long, and then you want to go out and tweet to your buddy about, oh my god. Look what the look how they own the lives there. Look what happened over here. Folks, that's not fighting for your people. That's not fighting for your country. That's weak. That is weak. And so on this show, we have tried to talk about history because you don't know enough history. You didn't learn it in public school. I say you, the editorial you, the general you. There are some of you. Some of you I talk to. I know very well that's not true, but, overall, you don't know your history. You don't know the political elements of your history. You don't you haven't been given a holistic understanding of the historical process that has been inflicted on you. And that is my my job, I feel, is to try to help you understand that. That's why I'm talking about Dwight David Eisenhower, a gatekeeper who prevented a populist revolution from occurring in The United States in 1952 that could have begun to turn this whole thing around and how he thwarted three of the most significant efforts to save your country. The patriots undertook back at that time, and we're gonna continue with him again next week. That's not the topic per se today, but that's why I talk about those kind of things. That's why I tell you about the importance of organizing at the local level. And I do refer you to national organizations, but that's just if you don't if you don't you're not networked already in any fashion, and you just absolutely don't know what to do. There are people working at the national level that can train you up to do a few things and to know a few things about this fight. But my preference is that people organize locally. They become very knowledgeable about what's going on around them locally, and particularly that they support their constitutional sheriff or replace their sheriff with a constitutional sheriff if they do not already have one and then do everything that they can to encourage that sheriff to form a citizen's posse because, folks, this shit is just beginning to go down. I mean, this is not going to be a one off with Charlie Kirk. I I pray that it would not happen again, but you know very well it's gonna happen again. And the left, they are seething. They are seething and they are loose. They're sending out the dogs. I thought this summer would be more of one of riots, but the summer's almost over with. We really haven't seen all that much of that kind of activity, but there is a seething on the left that cannot be contained just by having them, working in the Democrat party or whatever. And they are determined determined to end any citizen movement that thwarts the ultimate victory of total government and the Marxist state in this country. Violent communist on the prowl in America taking Charlie Kirk is their victim. I wanna talk more about the implications of this in a moment. I wanna remind you that you can always watch this show, if that's what you really wanna do, and look at me on, the News for America channel on Rumble. News for America channel on Rumble. I wanna also remind you that election integrity is another issue you need to be involved with. And that at securevote.news, and that's that URL is right behind me, securevote.news is a place you can go to each week to get resources in the election integrity fight and get some of the newest news stories. So go there. My name is Lou Moore, and you are listening to Hour of Decision on Liberty News Radio, and we will be right back after the news. Welcome back to Hour of Decision. My name is Lou Moore. We've been talking about the aftermath, the implications of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk was indispensable to the MAGA movement, indispensable folks for years. People on the right were saying, boy, we really need to get to youth. We need to bring the youth in. We need to do something to attract the youth. And folks, pretty much every effort like that was a dismal failure. The biggest exception to that was the formation of Turning Point USA where Charlie Kirk basically just started by himself and printing off a few one pagers, I think, in my understanding, and, setting up a card table at the local, university. Now he was a very persuasive, energetic young man with a vision, and pretty soon he had some billionaires help with him, so that didn't hurt. But I'm not taking away anything from him. He was incredible. And he built, a doer, a doing thing, not a talking thing, not a think tank in Washington DC. Tyler Boyer, who has worked with Charlie for for years and runs his political operation, his c four. I think it's called Turning Point Action. We'll talk more about them in a minute. But he said years ago, they were kinda surveying the scene, and they saw a lot of think tanks. A lot of think tanks on the right, but no battle tanks. And what we need, folks, is battle tanks. We got books and thinking going on and, yes, there is education that needs to occur, and I feel like I'm a small part of that effort myself. But we need battle tanks. And that's why I you know, I'm doing more work now myself with CSPOA with sheriff Mac because we need to be doing. We need to be supporting sheriffs who were in the fight and get more sheriffs to get in the fight for our country. And, anyway, so Turning Point has always had a youth orientation. Turning Point has always had an action orientation, And Turning Point has always had a mentor, orientation for leadership, mentoring leaders. And one of the most most impressive things about that organization to me has always been the people around Charlie Kirk. Incredibly impressive, in my opinion, starting with Tyler Boyer, who I just think is a fabulous political operative. And, and the proof was in the pudding. President Trump wouldn't have made it, folks. He wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for the, get out the vote efforts of party, the RNC. I don't wanna say they were a zero because there's I was on the call I was on a call with a member of the RNC the other night. I'm not gonna speak about anybody individually, but as a group, they were lacking. They were losing. Losing. They were not getting the job done in an era where you need the best possible data and then you need boots on the ground. As I've talked about in earlier episodes of our of decision, we came full circle in our politics, and I also talk about this in my book. We came full circle in our politics. It got to the point that the TV ad, the thirty second TV ad was pretty much just noise in the background, though they still use them, millions and millions and millions of lowest of low information voters. But it's the people on the ground going door to door, bringing people out to vote, get recruiting other people to recruit to vote, get recruiting other people to recruit other people to come out and vote. The the most basic grassroots activity, that has been the difference in these swing states. And I'm gonna tell you right now, Charlie Kirk and Turning Point actually Turning Point USA, without them, Pennsylvania, I don't think so. I don't think president Trump would have won Pennsylvania. I don't think president Trump would have won Arizona, at least not by the margin, the surprising margin that he won Arizona by. And these guys, you know, they had defeats. They came through the school of hard knocks. They watched Carrie Lake have that election stolen from her in 2022 in Arizona. A terrible loss and a terrible waste of a otherwise tremendous effort by Gary Lake and by her campaign and that governor's race where now we have an idiot who's also just one more of these Marxist idiots, in real power. There is the governor of Arizona. So these guys were about action. These guys were about training, and these guys were about the future, and they still are. And their leader, their inspiration, the visionary behind this was Charlie Kirk. So I can talk about issues where I didn't agree with Charlie Kirk, and I'm not even gonna go there today out of respect. And out of the fact that that's not really the point right now. My point I'm making is he was indispensable to president Trump last year. Period. Full stop. 100% the facts. Why do you think they might wanna kill him? And, so extremely valuable. And a lesson for all of us, if you're gonna get over the target, you gotta do more than be talking. You gotta be doing some doing as well, and that's for all of us. So why weren't there anybody protecting the rooftops at UVU yesterday? And, somebody pointed out to me in a private conversation, then I heard it kind of echoed in what is his name? Ivan Raikland, I believe his name is. He is a special forces guy, and, our friend, from Oath Keepers, the former head of Oath Keepers that was, he was guest hosting yesterday on Alex Jones. And, they were kinda echoing this conversation. I was saying, well, they needed to have people on the rooftops, and the other person was saying but, you know, he wasn't a president. He wasn't a, he wasn't a part he wasn't running for office. He wasn't a big shot, in other words. He just was a guest at a university. Folks, that's absolutely ridiculous. Charlie Kirk was more valuable to us as concerned citizens and to the MAGA movement than almost every I mean, more than the senate. I mean, my god. The house and the senate in this country are a disgrace. There's individual exceptions, but they are a total and complete disgrace. They're the worst, the worst of the worst in almost every case. Because president Trump has so much popularity and such depth of popularity, a lot of them are singing his tune. But they're out to get him behind the scenes, and they're worthless as far as I'm concerned. So maybe that's right. Maybe if you're just a guest at a university, you don't you don't deserve to get the kind of security that would be thorough enough to at least put a $99 drone up in the air to check these damn rooftops. But my argument would be he was plenty, valuable enough, and he was raising plenty of money. And he had a security detail. And, we're just gonna start to get into now the postmortem of who didn't do what and what should have happened over here and, you know, much less the probably deeper and deep state story about who actually was behind this political hit that looks like a professional hit. But, why couldn't they have had somebody watching these rooftops? It's just it's heartbreaking. It's extremely frustrating. And, folks, there are lessons in all these things. We are at war. And if you are not doing something that calls attention in some way, calls, the attention of our enemies to you, you better be working a little harder and get a little closer to being over the target. Charlie Kirk was indispensable to Maga and now he's gone. The good news is as far as the turning point turning point story, there are several able individuals that were right around him and and several of whom, if you follow them at all, you are you've seen them. His producer, you know, Jack Posobiec, who's also kind of a Steve Bannon guy. Anyway, there are several people that you know and other people in their orbit, in their circle of influence, younger, smart, conservative types that can probably take over the reigns of this organization. And my biggest concern, well, I have two concerns. One, the campus outreach needs to continue. And a lot of these kids are awakened by Charlie Kirk, and then they move on and grow maybe a little further in their knowledge, and I'm perfectly happy with that. But they are an entry point for thousands and thousands of youth who are basically prisoners on this on these college campuses. I talked about the fact we need to take back the universities. We need to get really serious about that one, folks, and and that's going after these damn professors and these stupid or be null or both administrators of damn near every one of these universities, of these public universities, anyway. We need to get much more serious about that top down. But bottom up, looking at the students first, there needs to be a place where they can go and inoculate themselves and strengthen themselves from the almost overwhelming peer group pressure and academic pressure and sometimes physical discovered the vileness of these universities. But if you've been an advocate for Western civilization, if you've been an advocate for conservatism who's been vocal, this is not new. And I didn't hear a lot of these Jewish organizations saying a damn word about it before. But all these things that have happened on the universities over many, many years, over generations, and we've talks, in different episodes about how the Fabians zeroed in, first at Harvard and Yale, and then they moved across the Ivies and then out in a transmission belt fashion across the university system in America. And it's just gotten worse and worse and worse. So Turning Point has been a huge counterweight to this, a huge inoculation for many of our students to this. Whether you agree with all of the if you've agreed with all of Charlie Kirk's philosophy or agree with everything Turning Point, says or whatever, they had nonetheless performed that function and got it going in not too many years and have been highly successful. So that needs to continue and the grassroots focus, the on the ground focus in the swing states and in other states. But in some of our swing states, it must continue, folks. We cannot let one bullet stop that progress. So the future of Turning Point, who will the new leader be? It will be a real tell. There might be a little directional change as a result of this new leader. There might be a little bit of a tell of what happened all the way around. I don't know. But it will be worth watching to see what happens. And this is yet one more huge test for Trump. As I just said, Charlie Kirk was indispensable indispensable to the Trump victory in 2024. Turning point must survive and grow, and Trump must make sure that he punishes his enemies. And particularly in the case of anyone involved with this instant change of the political dynamics of the country and this vile act perpetrated against one of his most indispensable allies. So, you know, I don't know. There's already people saying even people like Laura Loomer are saying, we're never gonna find out who killed Charlie Kirk. And, I don't know. I hope that's wrong. So these type of events expose so many things. It exposes our enemies. Their nature, their vile has come to the fore just instantly. Instantly. Another thing that's happened is that you hear and you see who engages in all this Pablum talk. We need to have a national conversation about violence. This just needs to stop right now. Blah blah blah blah. If it's going to stop, folks, you have to stop it. And you have to stop and defang and demobilize and destroy the elements in your society that are causing at root this threat. A national conversation, a bipartisan meeting is not going to do it. That is ridiculous. And I'm hearing people I mean, I can't believe what I hear people say when they just need to say something. So we have have another FBI investigation going on. But how much do we know about Butler? Forget Epstein. Talked that one to death. And I wanna also mention the world of political violence we are in right now. Six members of AFD in Germany, the populist nationalist organization in Germany that is now the most popular party in Germany. Six of their principal members have been killed in recent times. Six. And as I said, I fear we're not, out of the woods as far as political violence of that type in this country as well. So the n our enemies will do what they can get away with. They certainly cannot get away with this. If there's anything that can be done to prevent it. So who killed Charlie Kirk anyway? Who was it? Why was he killed? Was he killed to prevent his effective operations in the next election? Was it retribution for his effective his effectiveness in the last election and on these college campuses? Was it a lone nut set off by the news media who has increased their vitriol geometrically about Charlie Kirk in the last few weeks. And that brings up, actually, a couple of other issues. There is just no no doubt that Charlie Kirk was sharpening his rhetoric over time and particularly over recent time. Getting much more blunt about things like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which I believe should never been passed, and he believed and began to articulate in the last year or so, by my reckoning, that that should never have been passed because it was a terrible piece of legislation that is tyrannical and centralizing a government power and not, beneficial and not useful for peaceful relations between the races. Charlie Kirk was getting more blunt about Israel, and that's because if no other reason, you can take the most cynical view of this, folks. I mean, he was an evangelical who had mouthed a lot of platitudes about Israel and his you can there's pictures of him online, you know, with the Israeli flag and all this stuff like they like to do. But, the youth of America on both the left and the right, but particularly on the right, they're done with Israel. They're done with the entangling aspect of the whole situation with Israel, with the appearance that our foreign policy is driven more by them than by us. If it has in any area that has anything to do with them. And Kirk was getting more critical about this. There's I I couldn't even myself believe some of the things he said on his show recently. And I mentioned this because Harrison Smith and, actually, some people I know who are pretty well connected are saying that, in the last month, Charlie Kirk was expressing a concern. Believe this or not, folks, that he was afraid Israel might take him off the board. And so when I said earlier, communists are on the prowl and they got Charlie Kirk, I wasn't saying per se that a card carrying communist as they used to try to, distinguish and obscure, the efforts, of communist in this country. I I wasn't saying that that I know that's what happened because I don't have any idea, but they were extremely happy about what happened, and they consider it a victory for them that Charlie Kirk is dead. And that's what I should have said. I also wanna correct one other thing. Robert Kennedy won the democratic primary for God's sake, not the republican primary, in California the night he was killed in Los Angeles in 1968. Correct that from the first section. But, anyway, so people are talking about Israel. We seem to Israel seems to be cropping up everywhere, and I, you know, I don't know, but I would like to know more. And there are hints even from law enforcement just in the last twenty four hours that there could be a foreign angle to this assassination. But just don't fall prey to people who believe every single thing that has ever happened in the history of the world that's bad, has come from one source. But at the same time, don't fall prey to the idea that nothing, possibly evil, could come from that same source because we absolutely know that's not true. So this is the hour of decision, ladies and gentlemen. This is a time to get closer in your families, to get prepared in your families, to take your self defense more unto yourself to the degree that you can, that you need to band together with your neighbors as much as you can and with people in your local community as much as you can, people that you know are not being manipulated by outside forces. You need to learn some things, but you need to be doing something regularly to fight this fight for our country, for our freedom. And God bless Charlie Kirk and the efforts he undertook to do just that. My name is Lou Moore, and you have been listening to the Hour of decision on Liberty News Radio, and we will see you again next week.
