Okay guys, putting aside the developments and updates on the Charlie Kirk situation, we need to address the fallout because today, September the 11th, 24 years after the 9/11 attacks, there is a huge moral dilemma dividing Americans today. And that is, is it okay to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk? Because honestly, waking up this morning, you know, after people have had some time to process what the hell has just happened, I was genuinely surprised at how so many people reacted because America right now is not just filled with people who are mourning the death of a father and a husband. >> I'm so freaking pissed right now. This is I just saw blood out of his neck. I love that guy. Why do they always come with violence? Gosh damn it. Use your freaking words as they're talking to you people. >> But it is also filled with people celebrating the death of a controversial political figure. >> Charlie Kirk got shot and killed. How do you feel? >> Uh happy. Goodbye. >> See that Charlie Kirk just got shot and killed. >> That's good. Girl, someone had to do it. He was a disgusting person with disgusting beliefs. >> Yeah, he's a who I'm I'm I'm like, "Yeah, he's an you know." >> And you know, I thought that this was a reaction that has come hours after the shooting. you know, when people have had time to think about it. But no, for some this was immediate, almost reflexive. For example, this man was seen on camera smiling and fist pumping just moments after the shot rang out. >> We heard shots. >> Like, this is crazy because for this person, you don't know if it's a mass shooting. You don't know if you and everyone else that you're around is still in danger. So, how you still have the capacity to think about celebrating is pretty crazy. And according to witnesses, he wasn't the only one. >> It was the most awful thing I've ever seen in my life. The liberals who were there were cheering and someone just got killed. Disgusting. Now, this reaction only gets more intense when you go online because of course. For example, this one Tik Toker by the name of Horus Gold, he's gone viral for sharing his opinion on why it should be acceptable to celebrate Charlie Kirk's death. >> They celebrate when we die. I don't care to have moral superiority over these people. Piece of You got what you deserve. I'm sorry. You're a bad person. Bad things happen to bad people. Celebrate it. It should happen more often. Not death necessarily, but like karma. Big fan of it. >> And going into the comments, they're actually backing him up. No. Like, am I crazy? He was a bad, dangerous person. An advocate for gun violence was a victim of gun violence. Oh, no. People with social media on April 30th, 1945. That's the day that Hitler died. I didn't agree with him, but no one deserves to go out that way. RIP. This one is wild. I do think his kids will be better without his influence in their upbringing. And I only showed this because this comment in particular got nearly 20,000 likes in the matter of hours. Now, from the countless amount of videos that I've watched essentially like this, a lot of people are justifying them celebrating Kirk's death because in their view, he incited hate, extremism, and he contributed to a toxic political culture. So many of them believe that removing a figure like this from public discourse is beneficial. Cheek media said Charlie Kirk will receive more media coverage for his death than the murdered school children he said were unfortunately worth it to preserve gun laws. And the thing is you can't even just chalk this down to the crazy people on the internet who feel this way because the multi-billion dollar company MSNBC they had to fire their political analyst Matthew Dow after he suggested that Charlie Kirk was to blame for his own death. Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that's the environment we're in that that people just you can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place and that's the fortunate environment we're in. >> It even divided Congress. The House floor devolved into a shouting match after Representative Lauren Boowart requested that lawmakers join into a prayer for Charlie Kirk. And then someone shouted, "No." >> In a moment of prayer, I'll [Music] >> wait a minute. Wait a minute. The house will be in order. However, in saying all of that, many people, I would argue the majority are condemning this shooting and also condemning people celebrating this shooting. Many people are saying that regardless of his opinions or politics, no one deserves to go out like that. In fact, this isn't just people celebrating someone dying from natural causes. This is people celebrating the death of someone who was just murdered for their political opinions. And many are warning of the dangers of that happening because it only encourages more. In fact, one of the most fundamental established principles in behavioral psychology is that reinforcement of something, whether that be accidental or deliberate, only increases the likelihood of that behavior happening again. So, if individuals are celebrated or told they did the world a favor by shooting and killing someone, what is likely to happen next? But before you start thinking that this is the entire left that feel this way, it's not. There are many, even among the people who hated Charlie's politics, that have come out and condemned the celebration of violence, seeing it as harmful for democratic norms, for free speech and civil discourse. If anyone in the sound of my voice celebrated even a little bit at the news of this shooting, I would beg you to look in the mirror and to see if you can find a better angel in there somewhere. Project Liberal and organizations like them have come out saying, "We agree with Charlie Kirk on basically nothing except that he deserves the right, as every human does, to speak freely without the threat of violence." Multiple Democrat politicians and former presidents have come out condemning the shooting like Gavin Newsome, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Kamla Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and even some of the most prominent liberal figures on TikTok that have had heated debates with Charlie Kirk in the past like Dean and Parker. They too have condemned the shooting and in fact both of them went as far as even telling the people who celebrated it to unfollow them and they do not want their support. In fact, Dean said something that was very fair. >> If you want to end gun violence, it is something that you can never celebrate. >> It is sad to see because America is increasingly becoming a place where their second amendment right is costing them their first amendment right. And as someone covering American politics and American issues almost every day, it's pretty scary to watch. I mean, not only the fact that this has happened in the first place, but also the stark differences in reaction to it happening. Like, some people are literally crying their eyes out while others are saying they couldn't be happier. >> Yo, they got Charlie Kirk. Bro, I've never been happier. >> Like, that is two wildly different perspectives on the same event. In fact, literal fights are breaking out. There was one at the Idaho capital after a man drove through the Virgil on a scooter yelling, "F Charlie Kirk" after his death. I mean, this was the Times cover today and they called American political violence an epidemic. But I'd be very interested to hear your guys' thoughts. What do you think? Can Charlie Kirk's death serve as a wake-up call and a turning point for America? Or will this only divide the country even more? I mean, it just so happens that today is the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. A time where I hear where people put aside their differences and Americans came together like never before. So, who knows? I don't know. Maybe we'll just have to wait and see. Now, I will see you guys again tomorrow. You're getting four videos this week. Tomorrow will be the regular news round of the week. I hope you have a great evening and I will see you tomorrow. [Music]
