It is Tuesday, and I hope you have it a fantastic Tuesday or at least as good of one as you can possibly have, given the everything that's going on right now. But we have a lot that we have to talk about today, starting with this. Multiple arrests and a fight broke out at a Turning Point USA event at UC Berkeley. Because the the attorney point visiting with this being the final stop on its national college tour, and so you had tons of students protesting the organization's presence on campus. And actually, even before the event started, you had reports that a group of students were arrested for vandalism after they attempted to hang a massive cardboard bug as a former protest art. But then also as crowds were gathering, a Charlie supporter selling freedom merch and a protester, they got into a fight and were taken into

1:47.0

police custody. Right. And according to SFGate, the fight started when a protester took merch that the Kirk supporter was selling and threw it on the ground, with the altercation then becoming physical, but details on how it got to that point, they really weren't clear. There also with this, who had photos showing at least the Kirk supporter with a bloody face.

2:00.5

Additionally, there were other reported arrest, but the reasons for those also not clear right now.

2:04.3

And also, there were other reported arrest, but the reasons for those also not clear right now. And also there were other chaotic scenes including footage of smoke in the crowds after someone allegedly threw a smoke bomb. There were reporters noting that that in a car backfire that sounded like gunshots, startled protesters, getting them to flee. But then also you had other outlets noting that outside of a few heightened moments, the protests were largely peaceful and there's plenty of footage of calm protest moments where students are just holding signs and chanting. Though there, according to some accounts, there were chance targeting Charlie Kirk's death, including one saying, fuck your dead homie. But overall, for the most part, it looked like you had students telling local reporters that they didn't believe that turning points values belonged to Berkeley, a school known for its progressive and liberal activists. Or with one saying, we want to make clear that we're not going to be intimidated, and this is not the campus to do this on. Charlie was not about promoting free speech and open debate. He was about trying to bully and intimidate people into silence and submission. And Kirk, right, he obviously came up a ton because he co-founded Turning Point, so the organization has got increased detention after his assassination. And in fact, one of the ways you saw that is before Berkeley's event, you had the president of the school's turning point chapter telling Cal matters that that chapter has grown since Kirk's death. It's saying that the meetings usually had around 30 people, but this semester's smallest meeting at 60, so double that amount and over a hundred attended the vigil for. And with all that said, with this being the end of the national tour, it will be interesting to see how much Kirk's name continues to be used moving forward. Or because while you had things like just about a week ago, before the elections, people saying, get out there and vote for Charlie, this being pushed by right-wingers, it feels like the majority of the conversation being had around him now is kind of one of two things. One, it appears to be heavily connected to a lot of Republican infighting. Like you had Candace Owens the other day, like showing more of her text because people said that they were faked. And then two, there's just like a section of the internet that is like, Kirkifying memes. Or they're like just putting Charlie Kirk's face on people in videos. But also going back to and regarding the Candace Owens of it all, Turning Point itself is getting caught in the crossfires because, you know, as she's been covering Kirk's killing, right, trying to uncover what she says are the truths behind it. She's been saying things like yesterday. I don't know why, but I feel like a lot of these people that are panicking about us investigating Charlie's murder are going to wind up named in the contractor LLCs that Turning Points Money was evaporated into. She also got a ton of attention for sharing texts at Kirk allegedly sent her where he said that he felt like he might be killed. As well as other texts where Kirk appears to be talking about Ben Shapiro, painting Shapiro as jealous of them and even saying to Candice he views you as my slave. Though there you've had many questioning the legitimacy of those texts, asking why she'd still had texts from 2018 on her phone, saying this looks like an inconsistency in the formatting and layout. But Candace has defended herself and when asked why she still had these messages she wrote. The point was that Ben tried to prevent Charlie from coming up, so the messages have to be from when Charlie was relatively unknown and coming up. Duh, why would I lie about this and not expect to get calm? And then last night, she continued to defend herself on her podcast, showing herself pulling up messages on her phone and adding, Here we go, guys. Just to show you this, just looked up on my phone, these are not made up text messages. You probably want to see the date here and see the time sliding. These are just real. Like, what an absolute nonsense to think that I would make up text messages. It's a way that you had some saying, hey, she's proving herself here. I believe her, though others is still distrustful of Candice Owens. In there, you had some pointing to an interview that she did with CNN recently, where they pressed her on her conspiracies about Kirk's death death. For now, we still have to wait to see how this plays out both in if we get more information as well as just what happens with all the Republican infighting we've seen around this. But then next up in the news, the Chuck Schumer problem has been just getting worse and worse for months now, but really it hit a special point this week. Because While the Dems managed to pull themselves together and they had a victory last week, they're falling apart again. Right, because the Senate, they passed the funding bill last night thanks to seven Democrats and an independent who caved and joined Republicans, teeing up for the House to vote on it no sooner than tomorrow. The eyes are 60, the nays are 40. The bill as amended is passed. And it's really hard to express how much of a letdown this has been for so much of the party. Because again, just last Tuesday, you had progressives and moderate seemingly united. Everyone was excited, some describing it as the most hopeful moment the Democrats have had since Kamala took the reins from Joe Biden last year. Right, there was that initial, oh my God, is this change, energy?

5:54.4

And then it kind of just deflated.

5:56.0

And the person who's gonna suffer most in the situation

5:58.5

isn't actually one of the millions of people

6:00.0

whose health insurance premiums are about to spike, thanks to Republicans,

6:02.7

but John Stewart, whose brain simply broke last night.

6:05.8

I can't fucking believe it.

6:08.4

You cannot fucking believe it. I cannot. F***ing it. You cannot fucking believe it. I cannot

6:13.3

fucking believe it. Great, and while there's broad agreement that the eight from the

6:19.9

Dem caucus who joined Republicans are chiefly to blame here, you had Stewart and other

6:23.6

late night hosts really taking aim at the man they believe let it all happen. We will not give up this fight.

6:28.6

But that's what you're doing. You're giving up the fight. You can't wave a white flag in one hand

6:33.4

that says, I give up, while on the other hand waving a smaller white flag that says,

6:37.0

until next time. I mean, it is incredible at his age that Chuck Schumer is still able to

6:42.0

bend over so far. Either all eight senators who voted to capitulate,
