Charlie Kirk on Israel, Gaza and Media Coverage

But the fact is now Bibi and the Israeli hard-right government has a mandate, I gotta be careful the way I say this, to-- they're gonna try to ethnically cleanse Gaza.

I mean that, that's-- and I'm, I don't use that term lightly, okay?

And Jewish donors, they have a lot of explaining to do, a lot of decoupling to do because Jewish donors have been the number one funding mechanism of radical open border neoliberal quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions, and nonprofits.

This is a beast created by secular Jews, and now it's coming for Jews, and they're like, "What on earth happened?"

And it's not just the colleges. It's the nonprofits. It's the movies.

It's Hollywood. It's all of it. It's like time for you guys to wake up and say, "No more." Draw a line in the sand. I don't care if you hate me.

There's been many people in the pro-Israel world that have been very sweet, very kind, and I, and I will say this, the behavior by a lot, both privately and publicly, are pushing people like you and me away. We're like, "Honestly, the way you are treating me is so repulsive." I have text messages, Megan, calling me an anti-Semite.

That's ridiculous. I am learning biblical Hebrew and writing a book on the Shabbat.

"Charlie, what are you doing?" Like, "Why are you..." What am I doing?

I-I'm sorry. Like, let's just take a step back here.

Like, I'm an American citizen. My moral character is now being put into question, Megan.

Not my decisions, not like, "Hey, are you doing this?

Is it smart, or is it dumb?" But no, I am a bad person if I do this. A claim I receive often is that Israel is committing genocide. And, and one thing a friend said to me, interestingly, which is, "Okay, Charlie, we pushed back against the media on COVID,

on lockdowns, on Ukraine, on the border, on..." So like maybe we should also ask a question, is the media totally presenting the truth when it comes to Israel?

Just a question, you know, that maybe we shouldn't believe everything the media says because I know I've been conditioned to ask a lot more critical questions over the last couple of years.

Ben- The perception the legacy media is like owned by the Jews and therefore- I was gonna say, Ben, come on ... not pro-Israel.

Y-You Jews own the media, Ben. Bibi said, quote, "You can't be MAGA if you're anti-Israel." I think you can have disagreements on Israel and still be MAGA, obviously.

And if my life is like the dust, ooh, that hides the glow of a rose.

Well, what good am I? What good am I?

Heaven only knows.

He didn't deserve that ending. You know, he's really young.

But I know that, um, we will carry the torch. I will never allow the memory of Charlie to be forgotten, obviously, because there is no Candace without Charlie.
