Welcome to another edition of the Schmidt Storm. You've got questions, I've got answers.

0:04.8

This has been an extraordinary week in the life of the United States. Political violence is

0:10.6

raring its head as was long predicted on this channel. Let's get into the questions. What is the

0:17.1

meaning of Charlie Kirk's death? It's a deep question and I'm afraid I'm not the right person to answer it.

0:24.4

I know three things.

0:26.3

I know the life is precious, and I watched a young man's exterminated, obliterated, on camera.

1:35.3

But like a predator, he senses opportunity. And the opportunity he senses is about political power.

1:42.3

The truth is what Charlie Kirk stood for in life was un-American. He held to the proposition that

2:00.3

some of us are more equal than others.

2:02.6

He targeted some of the most vulnerable people and he bullied them. He scapegoated them.
